meet the fickleness of fortoie. Whatever might be the resqlt
of this day's proceedings, it must reflect upon him indeliMe
disgrace, and must inevitably shut him oat of all society where
honour and mutual confidence were considered valuable.
Of him, indeed, might it besaid,

substituting only the wovellifreek for Roman. The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to argue, that, according to the recent
decision at the Sosions, upon all appeal from the last convic-
tion at this °Mee, it WWI clear that under this new act no con.
s ic tion could take place against those who were not actually
proved to have been playhig at an unlawful game. Now at
was consolatory to remark, that such proof had only been
given with a reference to a very few of those who were In
custody ; six, he believe, In number, namely—Mr. Page and
Mr. Paton, gentlemen of great respeetabil,ity, who bad been
seen to play, and Jolts Jones, Thomas Ridsdale, George
Johnstone, and Hugh King, who were described as managers
/lithe table.. Ile had noPitention to blink the question here,
but to meet it manfully, had without untair reserve. Against
these persons something like evidence had been given; but
whether of such a nature Is wits entitled to credit, it was for
the Martistrates to say. For his own part, be could not but
think that the testimony of a man who was himself an ac-
knowledged offender, was .scarcely sulficieet to warrant •
conviction by which many respectable men were to be pis-
nonneed rogues and vagabonds. This was a highly penal sta-
tute, and ought to be aided upon with great caution. Did the
Magistrates recollect 11)0 by this act a second conviction
subjected the party convicted to imprisonment and hard
labour for two years ; and a third conviction to transporta-
tion for seven rears; my, it even went further, and pro-
nounced him a &tin. So that if it were the first nobleman
in the land, even the Duke of York himself, if he were con-
victed for the third time of playing at an nnlawful game, not
only would he he al tainted of felony, but his properly, if it
amounted to ten hundred thonsand pounds, would be forfeit-
ed. The Legislature, is passing these Acts, did not always
reflect on the consequesess of their measures. lie mention-
ed these facts for the phrpose of impressing on the worthy
Magistrates, that the silnation of the Defendants was of no
trivial character, and that, this Act was not as it had been
considered by persons out of doors, a subject of merriment
•and ridicule. Many of tilt gentlemen who now stood before
them, were men who had gloriously fought and bled in de•
fence of their country's honour; and yet now, fur no immo-
ral act, and on the evidence of a discharged shop-boy,
himself en acknowledged participator in their supposed
crime, they were liable to be pronounced " rogues and
vagabonds." Those 'who had bravely starched to the
cannon's mouth, and by their- deeds immortalized the
name of a British soldier, were now, forsoooth, for a few
minutes' amusement, which could be of injury to none but
themselves, to be consigned to the abelaseabto Veld mill
amidst the indwells of society' Was this to be tolerated, and
would not the Magistrates, before they intliited Such punish •
went, take care that the evidence before them was at least of
un unsuspicious cltaracter, and not influenced, as on the pre-
sent occasion, by a feeling of paltry revenge. Mr. Alley
finally adverted to the oases of Holder and Thompson, who
were proved to have been mere servants in the boss! and
who could nut, therefore, be considered as playing. 'these
Persons also, he submitted, could not be convicted under the
act, however responsible they might have been, if it were an
indictment against the parties for keeping a comas° gam-
bling house.
Mr. MINGEOLL observed, that Mr. Alley need feel no alarm
as to any of the parties present being considered at felons, as
the act only specified' en Imprisonment hie two years for the
third offence; but they had no information before them of
any of the Defendants having been already es:mitered, and
therefori coald not set upon such a suggestion (one of the
parties; O'Dell, it appears had been already convicted.)
Alter consultation with Mr. 'Meshed,
!falls called over the following names, James Jones,
• lee O'Dell, Thomas Ridsdale, George Johnstone,
• Poem, Hugh King, Samuel Page, and John Paton.
prjr.‘o persons having severally stepped forward, Mr. Ha/la
addressed them than—" I convict you all six of being rogues
wad vagabonds, ender the 9d of his present Majesty chap. 40,
for playing at an unlawful game; and you James Jones,
T. Ridsdale, G. Johnstone, and Hugh King, I shall direct to
be conveyed to the .Iloure of Cserectioo, Cold Bath Fields,
and there be kept to hard labour for the space of three
months ; and you, Page and J. Paton to he sent to the same
prison for one month, sad also be kept to hard labour."
Mr. Alley gave notice of appeal.
Right of the remaining prisoners who were sworn to as
hiving been present dining the play, were ordered to enter
into personal recognizanoes of tool. each, and to lied two
bouse.keerers as securities in tsl. each, for avoiding similar
practices for twelve months, and the rest were discharged on
their own recognisance of ant. mush.
There was a general lamentation at this decision, and come
declared the utter impossibility of obtaining bail. Those
who were not prepared with bait were committed.
Mr. Halls desired that it might be publicly understood, that
as he was convinced the practice of gambling was subversive
of. the morals of society, it was his determination peractraßy
to visit all houses of this description, at such times and sea.
sons as lie might think expedient; and to enforce the law
against such as might be foetid offending with the utmost
rigour.
It is believed that many of the defendants withheld their
real names. Some of them were of respectable appearance,
but others were what may be dew:animated "shabby genteel."
One of tho defendants said lie went to the house merely to
take a cold bath. It was remarked, his trip to Cold Bath•
Ileitis would afford him ample opportunity for cooling his over-
llitated system.

QUEEN SQUARE. •
CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST A WATCHMAN. .
On Saturday Samuel Scutt, one of the watchmen of till.
Margaret's Parish, was brought before the Magistrates on a
charge of felony.
It. appeared that the prisoner's beat was in New Tothill-
street; and in consequence of some suspicions entertained of
the pnsoner's honesty, amass in the employ of Mr. Weathers!,
an eminent cow-keeper, set up to watch the premises. At
four o'clock on Friday morning he saw the prisoner going down
the yard and take a jug full of milk out al the cow house ; his
looked it up in his box and went round to call the hour, and
when ho returned the other man came and desired him to give
up the milk, which he did, and on his knees begged he would
not mention it to his master ; but no entreaty would do, and
the other took the milk to the wateh•house and lodged a
complaint against him. This was the evidence against the
prsoner, -
The prisoner denied having. fallen upon his knees to beg
pardon ; he admitted having given up the milk, and persisted
that the accuser gave him permission to take milk every
morning as a compensation tor calling him up. Some time
ago he had been paid as. first, and afterwards is. 6d. per
week, to watch Mr. WeatheraPs yard; but in consequence
of being employed by others upon his beat to watch their
premises, ho could not attend to both, and was obliged to
give it up lle produced a written character for honesty, by a
respectable neighbour who thus employed him ; told the Ma-
histrate he had a large family iu great distreva, and begged
is character might out suffer from such a malignant and cruel
accusation.
The accudr observed, that during the time the prisoner
was paid fur watching the yard, there was lead and ether
property, to the amount of 401. stolen ; the pay was in conse-
quence discontinued, and it is six months ago since one of
the Milk carriers gave information of his being in the habit of
stealing the milk ; the jug he had would contain two quarts,
and the loss thus sustained by Mr. Wealberal must bo very
immense.
The Magistrate in severe terms censured the conduct of the
prisoner. 'They observed, the charge amounted only to a
misdemeanor; but his conduct was such, that he was unfit fiirJ
the duty of a watchman; they were about to discharge him,
but in consideration of his family they only suspended him
fur a mouth.
On Saturday morning, two noted thieves were observed
lurking about the window of an eminent jeweller, in the
King's Road, Chelsea. At last they cut out a pane of glass,
and took two gold seals and a coral necklace out. They were
pursued, end one of them taken into custody, with the pro •
perty in Isis possession. When brought before the Magistrate,
he gave his name John Neiman: He was committed for re-
examination.
lIATTON-GARDEN.
On Saturday Wm. Gerrard, who stood remanded charged by
Samuel Davis, a City officer, on suspicion of returning from
transportation before the term of his Enstenee was expired, was
brought up. The person on whose prosecution he was con-
victed could not identify him from the length of time, which
was in the year 0115. Several other witnesses were examined,
bet none of them could identify the prisoner to be the person
who was transported. The principal witnesses being a turn-
key in New gate and a person who had to overlook the con-
victs in the,bulks in which the transports were confined, be-
ing both dead, no person could swear positively to him bAng
• the man, and the prisoner was consequently discharged.
N Wiens Carr, a well-looking black man, was brought op
for final examination, charged with stealing a silver table-
; spoon, the property of Mr. Joseph Cheater, of Northamp-
ton-square, Clerkenwell, ironfounder, in whose employment
the Prisoner was. The Prisoner was stopped at the shop of
Mr. Ramsey, pawnbroker in Laystall -street, where he offered
it in pledge-
Mr. Cheater not appearing to prosecute, the Prisoner Was
discharged.

IMPORTANT TO MERCHANT SEAMEN.

An information under the nth George 111. chap. 35. " For
the recovery of Merchant Seamen's Wages," was laid by
Thomas Brampton, lately serving en board the brig Adriatic,
against the Captain, William Rutter, trading from the Ha-
mmett to the West Indies.
Complainant stated, that OR the 13th May. tett, he was
hired by the Captain to serve en board his vessel, then lying
in Cowes Roads, attl. los. per Month. On the Ist July they
arrived at Trieste, and during their stay there, • dispute
arose between the Captain and the crew, respecting some al-1
lowance fur unlniding the vessel; and all the men left hero
except the carpenter and complainant. A further dispute
arose, and complainant went on shore to lay his ease befor,
the Consul at Trieste. Be remained a day or two on shore,

and on returning to the vessel, defendant ordered Tae non
ropes to be cut to prevent complainant from coming tat board.
Re was oonsequently obliged to return, and the Captain took
that opportunity of sailing, 'eating Brampton without a
utile,
change of clothes ur the payment of his wages (al. )He
worked his passage home in • ship hound to Mid
immediately made an application to Mr. T. W. • of
Clements Inn, who undertook Brampton's case.
The Captain, in his defence, stated, that it ws4 pot his
wish to part with any of his crew, but owing•-to their 1
mutinous conduct he was compelled to do so, retaining only
the complainant and carpenter. Fora few days Cipasplainsat
attended to his duty, but on the setalvitugust left the ship
without leave, and not returning to his duty he (the Captain)
went on shore, and begged of him to do so, but he refused.
la consequence the Captain would not receive Complainant,
and contended that lie had no right to do so, by readier of a
contract usually entered into upon seamen being hired, and
which is )fooled ou an Act of Parliament, which enacts,
"That mariner*. absenting themselves from dish for twenty.
four hours without leave shall be liable to the forfeiture of a
certain portion of their pay." The Captain went on further
to state the general bad conduct of Complainant. However,
the Magistrates (L. B. Allen and Morris Swabey,Eirps.)were
of opinion that the Captain had acted wrong in leaving
Complainant onshore in a foreign country, without means
of support , • and the least he could have dose, even lithe De-
fendant's statement was true, would have been to have given
him his clothes and paid him his wages, which opinion was
not only founded on Complainant's testimony, but oil weer.
tikale produced by him, signed by the Consul at Trieste,
setting forth that Complainant bad been left destitute by De-
fendant • the Bench therefore awarded Brampton the pay-
ment of 'his wages, with al. expenses.
The Solicitor for the Complainant stated, that he should
commence an action against Defendant for leaving him un •
foreign station.
Henry 7iinne/1 was remanded till Tuesday next for having
in his possession, which he could not satisfactorily account
for, a sheet, a blanket, a quilt, and two pillows. .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mistist Ricks was fully committed on the charge of Robert
Pearlman for robbing hem of as. ad. Pearman was standing
.in a court in Holborn on Friday night, when the Prisoner
(who is an old woman) came up to him' asked him how he
did, and at the same moment unbuttoned his pocket and took
out the silver. He gave her in charge of an officer, who
stated to the Magistrate (Mr. Dyer), that he searched Ricks,
and found on her person a knife and two penny pieces, anti
in the scuffle oho dropped the sixpence. He both saw i
felt% her mouth, and having no other means of getting
of them she swallowed them.

WORSHIP-STREET.

ROBBERY AT THE MINT.

On Saturday, Samuel Marlow, a notorious character, wu
brought up for examination before Samuel Twyford, Esq. the
sitting Magistrate. charged with being concerned in the into
robberies at the Mint.

Shergold, an officer, stated, that in consequence of private
information, he and White of the Thames Police, went to the
Prisoner's abode, and took him to Union Hall, for examinia-
Lion, from thence be was remanded to Horsemonger-lane
prison.
Henry Hodgson, late a prisoner in that prison, stated, that
on Saturday last he overheard the following conversation be-
tween the warcisman (Lewis Davies) and the prisoner. The
prisoner said he was much alarmed that a young man, Pearce,
(who has been already committed) had been sent to prison, and
he was fearful "the begger would come it" (meaning to dis-
close). The warsduian said there Voss no, fear. The Prisoner
replied and said, they wanted to try his old woman, Bet ; that
the linen that Shergold, the officer, had taken from him was
stolen from , but witness could not recollect the name.
Prisoner—" A'at it a pity ; do remember; can't you re-
collect?"
Witness added, that the prisoner said he apprehended officers
were coming after him, and In oonsoquence bad bolted the
door to prevent surprize; and that he had taken a brick
from the chimney, and deposited twenty-five sovereigns and
*watch of Pearce's, which had they taken on him ; it " vas
all ap."
Shergold, the officer, stated, that after taking the Prisoner
to Usion Hall, he went to search his house, but it was stripped
of every thing ; in the chimney a brick had been taken out as
before stated.
The Prisoner, In his defence, in the most undaunted manner,
said be supposed that the Magistrates would not commit him
on the evidence of Hodgson, who had been in every gaol in
the kingdom. As for Shergoid, he said he would swear twenty
men's lives away for sixpence.
The worthy Magistrate said, there was certainly evidence
sufficient to warrant him to commit him ; and he was com-
mit accordingly.
publicans came to ask the Magistrates whether they
woul authorised in keeping their houses open on Christmas
Day I the afternoon. Mr. Twyford said that he could not say
how far it would be consistent with the intentions of the legis-
lature in regard to keeping public houses open in the afternoon
of Christmas Day, nor could he pledge himself to any pro-
miseaie
of what he might do in the of informations being
Laid against them for so doing. blicans thanked the Ma.
gistate and retired, observing, rely asked for advice in
order that they might not infringe upon the Act of Parliament.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Mr. Andrews, landlord of the Queen's Head, corner of
North-street, Whitechapel, appeared to answer the complaint
of a poor Danish Jew, named Gedalia Patten.
The complainant, through the medium of an interpreter,
stated, that he obtains a livelihood by selling caps, and for that
dmin faurgseroowmenctutinoto the
pen hiQsubseegn'sanHdesatdoloentifi'rreeidaeya.psSauondiegemnoiti
Word
by gesture, (for he could not speak English) the
Word instantly forced him out of the ha se. This was the
melt for which Andrews was summoned to ap,iear before the
Magistrates.
The Defendant stated that he knew nothing of his caps.
Sir Daniel Williams told him that his house had been long
noticed as a receptacle for characters of the very worst descrip-
tion. It had been often complained of, and he (Sir Daniel)
warned him against harbouring bad characters for the future, 1
as a very sharp eye should be ►ept upon his conduct. For the'
assault upon the complainant, towards whom he had exercised
great inhumanity, he must find hall.
11 Mary flarwood was charged with assaulting Edward Hood.
It appeared from the statement of the parties and their witnesses,
that there are several houses in Grey Eagle-street, Spitallields,
to which there are no titles ; one of whom is occupied by the
Defendant, who has never paid any rent for 16 years. A per-
son nao ed Collins claims the property, and has several times
tried the question in various ways, hat has uniformly been
beaten ; at last be sent the complainant, who is a licensed
broker, together with another broker, named Putland, to levy a
distress upon the Defendant's goods for NW.; but they no
sooner entered the house, than she seized the poker, with which
she struck Mr. Hood several times very severely.
The worthy Magistrate said, with the right of property he
had nothing to do, bat as the assault had been proved the must
find bail.

In Saturday's foreign market one of those panics
which &re so detrimental to the holders of foreign
stock took place in the Spanish securities. The
Bonds of 1821 opened at 55, but fell suddenly, on
some sales made by a leading speculator of the
Stock Exchange, to 52 ; and, when business ter-
minated, had only advanced 4 per cent. on dig
price. The decline is explained by the intelligence
from Madrid of the completion of the arrange-
ments for the new loan, and some intimations that
the whole amount is likely soon to be brought into cur-
culation. The total sum to be raised is 40,000,000
Ireals de mate, equivalent to a capital of 800,000,000
lof reels, creating about 8,000,000 sterling of new
stock, and making the sum to be raised by the Spa-
nish Government about 4,000,000 sterling, supposing
the contract price not to exceed 50. Such an addi-
tion, though the stock is distributes over the markets
of London, Paris, and Amsterdam, is a reasonable
cause for the depression but there is nothing new
is the information, as the Spanish Minister of Finance,
near three months ago, announced his intention of ap-
plying for a vote of credit nearly double the amount
which it now appears is to be raised. Yet at that pe-
riod, and some time after the announcement was pub-
lished here, Spanish Stock was near twenty per cent.
higher than at present. The first instalment on the
new Spanish Scrip, of 64 per cent. was paid last week.
Two instalments of 20 per cent. each remain to be
paid, and which, according to the notice of the con•
tractors, have been deferred to the 20th January, and
the Ist March next. Except in the Spanish Stock
and Scrip, the business of the foreign market has been
very limited. Every description, however, has been
depressed in value by the recent panic.—(Eng-

Mr. ROBERT GOURLAY appeared before the Magis-
strates, to request an order from them to compel the
overseers of Wily to allow him a sufficient mainte-
nance as a pauper. He entered into a very long de-
tail of circumstances relative to his situation, fhe snm
of which was, that he had gained a settlement at Wily ;
that he bad not wherewith to support himself ; that
he did not wish to eat the bread of idleness ; he did
not ask for charity, but employment, and a sufficient
sum for his labour. The Magistrates listened with
the utmost patience and attention to his story : tho•
were aware of his talents, his integrity, aqd macs
ample allowance for his eccentricities. Mr. Sw A TSB,
of Wilton, in a way which did credit to that feeling
and humanity for which he is so eminently distinguibh-
elk, on inquiring about his property, was informed by
him that he bad given 1,6001. iti•trust f'or the benefit
(we think) of his family, but over which he had no con-
trol. As for the ring which be had upon his finger
(we believe it was a mourning one), he considered that
to be a species of property with which parish officers
have nothing to do. The Magistrates fully coincided
in this opinion, and seemed surprised and offended
that such a subject should have been introduced.—
The Magistrates ultimately made an order for an
allowance of three shillings per week to the once opu-
lent and generous possessor of Deptford Farml—
