Several of the creditors of Mrs. Pugh, who, with her fa-
ther-in-law, were, hurtle time bark, committed for child-
shopping and expusing, complained to the Sitting Magis-
t." ale, Alderman Scuoldse, of the undue interference of one
of the clerks of that oilier, in drawing tip and sending them
a petition, on the behalf of Mei. Pugh, which went to pre-
judge hei rue before trial.
The Cleric admitted, he had drawn up the petition, in the
line of his professiun, as a 'elicitor. Ile stated that he laud
known tiro. Pugh fur a number of pure, and always under-
stood she bore so excellent character, until the unfortunate
Inteinces she was committed for'; and when that took place,
her creditors had seised on her property, mud usrd other
harsh means ; to prevent which, he drew up the petition,
and, as a professional man, he unjustifiable.
The worths, Magistrate observed, it was impossible for him
to give any upiuion, whether the petition went to prejudge
her case or nut, without seeing it. It the creditors would,
ou a future day, lay it before bins, mid he funnel it did pre-
judge, he would lay it before the proper tribunal, as it did
nut come immediately nadir his jurisdiction.

Every requisite prepara►ion is making to carry
the benevolent intentions of I'. Miunams, Esq.
into effect on the day of the Jubilee. at Brighton.
who purposes giving a dinner to 2,000 poor indi-
viduals, at least. at his own immediate expense.
During the dinner. one hundred gentlemen. having
accepted the appointments, will attend as stewards,
and the cause of pfulient mirth, it is supposed, will
be sgreeldy promoted by their 'lnfluence. Mr.
Ali Gnxu., we understand. means to dine with the
objects af his bounty. and the patriotic and worthy
gentleman has hero heard to 'declare, that the
greatest pleasure that can he afforded him, will be
that of drinking tits 11lJEITY.11 health on such an
occasion. and of finding himself most heartily and
loyally joined by, at least. two thousand of the
poorest of his subjects. The spectacle, indeed.
cannot fail to be highly gratifying to every 10%21 acid
liberal mind. Mr. MI4:IIIELL, who had applied to
the Prince of VI A IS. for permission to entertain
the two thousand objects of his benevolence in his
Royal Highness's capacious Riding-School. in
t'llureh-street, lied the honour of remising the fol-
lowing letter 'horn Colonel BLoostri :
" seta—l em roartaandsd by the Prince of Wales to

Indiction in atrordiud the accommodation of his Riding

The dinner, consequently, will be served up,
under the direction of Mr. M. Plitt.t.tes. in the
Riding School, on Wednesday next. precisely at
ball-past one o'clock.
On Norwich Hill, on Saturday last, there were
so few lean beasts, and those not disposed of, as
scarcely to be &verging attention, and this small
*hew was in conserence of St. Faith's fair being
held this week. 1 here were no fat bollocks offered
to sale. Sams fat sheep were ahewn, but none
bought. A great many store sheep were penned,
sort but very little business transacted. The seine
remark applies to the lambs, which were for the
most part driven home. There was a very great
quantity of store hogs, of which large purchaser
were made for. Bury and Loudon markets, and
those at very high prnies. Sonic pretty good cart
horses were shewn, but very dull of sale, buyers
anticipating St. Faith's fair.
Last week, Mrs. Goocn, of Authorpe, in a 6t
of jealousy, threw herself into a horse-pond, but
being observed by some neighbours. she was in a
few moments got out. She was, however, so deter-
mined on suicide, that she tore two 101. notes in
pieces. and immediately after took two ounces of
sublimate. which terminated her existence.
