purpose by Mr. T. Eyre Wyche.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and other
that in the month of April last, the former was
in the Queen's Bench Friiton, at the omit of three detaining
creditor,. and that the prisoner Introduced hinetelf, onl
oilseed his professional Rename for the purpose of effecting

The pronecutur accepted his services, and alter a Pilaf in-
terval he ro presented that a compenition could be effected fur
Ali., upon which HIS pmaeeutor gave him an order for that
amount upon a friend, who forthwith handed over the money

the gentleman who bad pnid the matey called upon the pri-
sonerfor explenatinne, and not getting a testisfectoryanctaint of

about two months afterwarle. Subtegiuntly, the neney

MARLBOROMII-STREET.
Four livery eervente, George Drawn. John Penn, louses
Miller, and Robert Coy, were charged, the two former with
en wealth on the pollee in the ear:Minn of their duty, and
the others with ntiompting termite by inciting others when
taken into custody.
The defendants were in attend:tree with their earring., at
a party given by Loly Jerry the previous night, in Berkeley-
vinare. The miler, from crowding end confusien, found it
mercenary to deer the steps, in tattler that tbe company might
not be ineotnmoded ; and, in furthernnee of thin duty, the
pollee were uhetructrl and assaulted. There was great
confliction, and it became nemottary to take Bruins
and Fenn into en.tody, when hmtling °nosed, and the others
called loudly, and in very ha and intemperate language, for
a revue. The remit was that the mob around became greatly
excited. and the police were followed to tin:station by a crowd
of rovhinen and other., loudly milling out to liberate the
prisoners, or not to let the " l'etelers have theni." On
the road to the station Penn legged herd to be allowed to go,
as he should heti his place if not with his mining° at tine
o'clock, having been indexed at that time. Penn and Drumm
were maid by the police to he the worse for liquor.
Drumm railed Jam. KlN•ley, boll porter to the Earl of
Jerry, and other wreants, to dippersu the latter pat of the
statement, as to his state, and they declared that they consi-
dered bite tether.

Charles Leslie, Esq., of Ilerltekvevinare, who was M Lady
Jersey. party, heard of the distmbanee, met woe called to
bail hie servant. Drumm. lie was also clearly of opinion that
he was then 'ober. _ . _

The nuunstrate conceived, from the evidence of the police,
confirmed by the inspector, that Drumm was really the
WOMC for liquor at the lino, of the disturbance, though
sobered on the appearanee of his master. If this wee not
the case, hie conduct was the mere inexcusable. )ten in the
petition of the defendants, accustomed In obey outhrrity,
should have seen the necessity of oboving the orders of the
p lice, instead of oppeing end nmenaling them. Unfortu.
netely, when excited with liquor, they chose to judge their
own cases, and hence all the mischief. Drumm and Penn
most be comroilled for 10 dee. each. A fine of 40e. was
imposed on (My, and one of '2os. on Miller.
