licted for creating a riot about the house of
Mr. Gelling, a surgeon, in the Borough.
Mr. TRICSSIGETt, for the prosecution, said, that the prosecutor
was a medical gentleman, residing in the Borough. let the course
of his profession he was requested to attend the wife of the pri-
soner, a poor man, during her accouchement. There was nothing
peculiar in her case, with the exception of an accident which he be.
tiered was very likely to happen under the treatment of the most
able practitioner; that difficulty was provided against, and the wo-
man and her infant having been restored to health, the prisoner ex-
pressed himself petfectly
.satisfied with the prosecutor's treatment
towards her. About the time that this woman wiz lying ill, a Mr.
Evans came to reside in the neighbourhood, as a rival In Mr.
Otiling's profession. and, it is presumed, for the private motive of
Injuring Mr. Odltng`a medical reputation, represented to the pri-
soner, -George, that the prosecutor had been guilty of grossly mal-
treating hls wife, while he (Odling) was attending her, and acting
on the baler that that had been the ease, distributed the following
miachiereuaplaeards about the neighbourhood, and particularly in
front ofjhe prosecutor's house.
" Timm who wish their wife and child destroyed in child-bed,
apply to Oiling, 159, Borough."
The prisoner's mind having been completely poisooed by the sr-
Mice of Mr. Evans, he applied to another surgeon of the name of
Brundell, who wits one of the lecturers of St. Thoinaa's hospital, in
midwifery, to consult with him on his wile's case, and with the
full hope that by doing so he should be fully convinced of the un-
skilfulness of the prosecutor ; but so far from Mr. Evans's state-
ment being correct, that nopectable gentleman, after he had visited
Mrs. George, gave the following certificate
I4lwreby certify. that I have examined Airs. George at the re-
quest of her husband, and that the circumstance* that took place
in her ease, might have happened without any r.eglest on the part
of the accouclicur ; and that I btlieve there are tat, practitioners
engage't in extensive practice, to whom it has not now and then oc-
, entered, especially in the first labour."
Favourable as the certificate was, it did not lessen the
prejudice or the prisoner against the prosecutor, but, actuated
by the saute motives that had induced him to circulate the
former placards, had moat of the public, raps of the Bo-
rough placarded with bills of a similarly Injurious tendency;
some of them were to the following effect t " Asy medical thin-
tleman may see a woman destroyed in child-birth, by Odling, 1511,.
Borough, by applying to D. George, 1, Birdcage-alley. Borough."
Such conduct, as might he expected, collected a large concourse of
persons about the prosecutor's house, to whom the prisoner ad-
dressed himself on the subject of his supposed irjury, and en-
deavoured to crefie them by his violence to make an attack upon the
house, but which was prevented by the interference of a constable.
George was taken into custody and held to bail for creating a
riot, although it did not appear that any offe:'ee of that nature had
been committed, as there was no evidence before the Magistrates
to show that any of the individuals, who were collected, used any
riotous or threatening language towards the prosecutor. 'To him
(Mx T.) it seemed that the prosecutor had mistaken the nature of
the offence- ,The prisoner was liable to an indictment for a libel.

but that the charattkr of Galling would be considered free front any

Counsel declined eaklinffally witsessea,aad the prisoner wts acquitted.

MANSION-ROUSE.
Yesterday, a gentleman applied at the MansicolAtouee for infor-
mation in what manner to proceed against one of the Companies
which have had their Ow; career in the Stock Market. He had
purchased a great number of shares in the Compitnyt the prospectus
of which promised wonderful things; and believing at to be a really
good concern, in consequence not only of the mitten usurances
its high respectability, but of the verbal recommendations given by
the Directors. he intended to make an investment. llteorisiderable
period elapsed, during which he had employed hilibilelf in enter-
taining the most lively hopes of success. Finning, however, that
the very name of the Company was matter of doubt and cu-
riosity, soon after the " rig" in the market had terminated, and that
the shares were not saleable except at a heavy discount, he thought
proper to make some inquiry at the banking-house where thq depo-
sits had been paid. He there received information which induced
him to send the following case to an eminent counsel for his opinion.
" A. B. purchased 100 abates in a Company, established under
the accompanying prospectus. [The prospectus enumeartes the
most splendid advantage+, and mentions the names of several Di,
teeforsl. The Directot+ state their capital to be 200,0001. in 4,000
shares of 50/. each. Only one-half of so many shltres have been
taken tin. The Company ere prosecuting their •objectsilepon such
anialinleposits as have already been paid (2/. per share), their deed
of settlement is preparing, sad when approved by the Directors,
will be required to be executed by the shareholder, ; and a
flintier call of 21. per share will he immediately midi; and if the
deed is not executed and the call paid, the deposit of ff. will be
forfeited. Your opinion is invested, whether, undelthe above
circumstances. the Directors arejustined by law in prehenuting the
objects of the Company upon AO small a capital, withent the con-
sent of the shareholders. If not, what course the Aggsgmlden
should adopt to obtain a return of the deposits already pita.

, whoa ..a the ._
...era might be proceeded against for
the deposits, if it appeared to be improbable that the Company
could proceed in the speculation upon which such praises had been
bestowed ; bat he did not think the case was one in which the
Chief Magistrate could interfere, lie thought, in fact, that the
case would be likely to meet with a satisfactory amngrment, if left
to the opinion and care of Counsel.
The applicant said he had three prospectuses, each of which
contained a ehange of names in the direction, so that he did not
know upon which to fix as responsible persona. He pressed very
hard for a summons to the bankers, but the application was refusal,
the Alderman, however, leaving it to the gentleman's choice to
appeal to the Lord Mayor.
• GU ILDHA
Joseph Fusion, a journeyman carpenter, sboetr4o years. of age,
and !insane a look of unusual sanctity about him, was brought be-
fore Mr. Alderman Lucas yesterday, upon the cliargoof robbing a
widow, In whom he professed to.be paying his adrift:mei, of a green
silk purse, containing 14 sovereign's.
The complainant, Marianne %Valli& is a middle4iged widow,
with four children, residing in 11111-street, Walworth, and derives
her sop Port from supplying tier neighbours with the milk from
four cows, her property. About five months age, having occasion
to have some repairs done to her cow-shed, she went to a carpepter
in the vicinity, who sent the prisoner as his journeyman, and in
consequence of the eenversation that passed between thorn while
repairs were going on, she permitted him thereafter to visit at her
house in the character of an admirer. He very promptly made
overtures of marriage to her, but nothing very definite was either
said or done, until alontlay, the 17th isetant, when she received,
by the hands ofsone of her boys, who at'Ands the cows to the field,
the following epistle :
"Joseph Easton-11y dear Wallis,
" I shalt finde a plashure in pakingWith you as quick as posable,
at the Wight Bear, Kenington-rode,
"I remain yours, for Life."
Being out upon business at the time this note arrived, nearly
three hours elapsed before she reached the White Bear, but he was
still waiting, and accosted her in the kindest manner. He said he
had experienced some little diffieultietalatel,y, and he entertained an
idea of taking a country ale-house, with a few acres of ground at.
niched, and with her careful mastagement he doubted not that thee
should be supremely happy. Be had. 3ho/. principal money, and
accumulations of interest to the amount of 451. more, lying in the
Batik, which, if she would approve of his scheme, he would sell out
on the following day. She expressed her warm approbation of this
plan, upon which he threw himself upon his knees, uttered a fer-
vent oath, calling God to witness that he loved her as dearly as his
life, and dearer than he had ever loved any woman upon earth,
save one (now no more), and promised that he would treat her
children as though they had been his own. He then stated, that
before he could sell his stock he must get some papers out of
the hands of a gedtleman in the Temple. and that he should
' require the loan of 101. from her to pay that gentleman. She
agreed to let him have it, and he then drew the gold ring off her
finger, telling her be wanted it to get another ready for the day of
marriage. They then separated, and in the evening he came to he.
house and slept with het son. By nine o'clock on Tuesday morn•
ing they had atarted on their way to the Temple to get thefwritings,
and having walked as far as the Princes of Wales, in Pro.
apect-place, Lambeth, he went in and brought out a trunk,
which he said contained a valuable parchment and his wearing ap.
parel, of the value of 201. A little farther on he called a coach,
and they proceeded to the Feathers, in Temple-lane, the prisoner
calling upon her to pay the coach-hire. It was settled in the coach
that he should take out a license in the Commons that very day,
and that the ceremony should take place on Wednesday, and he
told her she should make a " widow's will," as he had plenty of
property independent of her s, having betides his money in the
Bank, an estate in Lincolnshire worth 1,0001. At the Feathers he
treated her with rum end water, and said, " My dear, I hope you
will not dishonour me." " What .do you mean she asked.
" i%'hy," said he, "it looks so for a women to pay ; let me have
the money note." She told him she would not ; it was his own
proposition that she should see the writings produced and the
money paid. " But," said he, " who's to mind my box with the
clothes and the parchment ; poh ! poh ; it looks no for a woman
to go with one. I will just step across the squre. I shall not be long.
I will bring the clerk with me, and the landlord shall be a witness
to my paying the money." While he was saying this, he forcibly
drew her hand out of her pricker, and putting in his own hand, got
possession of her purse and fourteen sovereigns. Though she re-
stated this proceeding, her faith in his protestations of honour and
love was too strong to allow her to make any alarm. Ile departed
in an instant, and she saw him not again until he was taken into
• custody on Sunday last. After waiting his return several hours,
she set off to The Bent, which site found closed, it being a holiday.
The dreadful truth then rushed into her imagination, she hurried
home, and examined the b. when instead of tine clothes and
parchments, an old frying pao, with the handle bent double, a
cheek for a stave, • garden pot, a brick bat, two pair of old
black stays, rhe body of an old red gown, some old shoes, &c. pre.
sented themselves to her view.
The prisoner had stated himself to be lodging at No. 19, Tra-
, falgarstreet, Wal worth, and by the diligent aid of a friend—a Mr.

time, and that he wes now Huh% with her, AL her brother's, at
L)nsford, near Farninghatn, where lie was accordingly apprehettled
on Sunday. The woman appeared cognisant of the prisoner's
transactions with the complainant, for when air. George produced
the warrant. Easton immediately said to her, " Oh, this is about
Mother Wallia's business:" and at parting the woman gave him
live shillings to make him comfortable on the road. Mrs. Wallies
purse was tut ne In his postaesaion.

The prisoner, in his defence, asserted that Mrs. Wallis had
said he nhould never want for any thiug while she had it, and
gave him the money lathe coach just as they were passing the Sur.

Mr. Aid. bliCAS—Very well. Brat now about the awkward cir-
cumstance of die contents of the box, and your not returning to
the Feathers.
Prisoner-ale truth, I never intended to return : it was deception,
but there west deception on both sides. As to the box I can say

it until she sew the w things, he would commit the prisoner per trial
for felony.

Yesterday Mr. Harrison, a respectable tobacconist, No. 10, Cas-
tle-street, Leicester-square, presented himself to Sir R. Birnie,
un-
der the following circumstances :—He said that • gentleman, appa-
rently about fifty years of age, had been in the habit of purchasing

did dot examine the note until after the gentlemau had left ; upon
examining It, it proved to be one of '• Bacon. Allen. and C 0.,"

Tuz Oastr ',Ave.—Yesterday, informitions under the Clame
Laws were heard before Sir R. Birr.ie against James Pearce, a re-
spectable looking man, and Mr. Noel Delacroix, for unlawfully
• heating for game," they not being duly qualified to kill genie.
The informer in .these cases was /qr.-John Nicolls, of
Middlesex, the proprietor of considerable lauded property in that
part of the county ; and in support of the informations Mr. I.
Nicol's the informer's brother, and Mr. Boyce Combe, the Chan-
cery Barrister, were called as witnesses
• The case against Pearce, who is bailiff to Mr. Denew, the auc-
tioneer, who has an estate in the Harrow-road, was first called on,
and Mr. Boyce Cornbe deposed. that on the day mentioned in the
information he was out upon Mr. Nicoll'it grounds, in company
with that Gentleman's brother, when he heard a gun go off; and in
the next field he saw the defendant and Mr. Delacroix together.
The smoke arose from between them, and he could not tell which
of them bad fired. They had pointers with them, and were what
is termed in the sporting phraseology, " beating up for game."
Each of them bad a gun. The witness spoke to them, told them
they were upon trespass, and required to know if they were gush-
Sod, and demanded their certificate. The defendantedinitted that
iso,bitd not a certificate, and witness obtained his name.

Mr. Joseph Nicene corroborated this statement.
A Solicitor on behalf of the defendant submitted an objection to
the infbrmation, which, however, was overruled.
Sir B. BIRWIE asked the defendant if he had any answer to the
charge.
The defendant, after some hesitation, said sturdily, " I duy it
altogether."
Sir P.. BIRWIE—Am I to suppose then that gentlemen of known
character and respectability would came forward and swear falsely
against you ? There is a penalty certainly, but that could not be an
object with such men, and I will venture to say, that not a farthing
of it will be pocketed by either of them. Money could not be an
object with the respectable gentleman who has laid this information.
Defendant—l don't know that. I know that he can't, or does
not pay his poor rates.
' Mr. Nioolls smiled, and Sir R. Birnie told the defendant he had'
better not indulge in observations of that kind. The penalty was
fixed by the Act, and the Magistrate had no power to mitigate it. I
The defendant must pay 5!. and casts.
" Oh, very well," said the defendant, putting his hard into his
pocket, "I am prepared with the money. I ant not at a loss for
5!. ; it is no object to me, though it may be to him" (looking to-
wards Mr. John N'icolls).
Sir R. BtX.24lE—Sir, I will not permit such remarks to be made,
and if you repeat them you and I perhaps may not part quite so
easily.
Defendant—l have a right to speak.
Sir R. MRHIE—Yes, certainly, but not to be insolent; and I
will not permit you to be so here.
The defendant paid the 5/. and costs, and retired; not, however,
without throwing something like a glance of anger and contempt
at the gentlemen who had been instrumental in procuring his
convict ion.
The information against Mr. Delacroix was next proceeded on,
and he having pleaded not guilty, Mr. Combs and Mr. Joseph
Nicolle proved the same facts against him as in the cue of Pearce,
with the addition, that when Mr. Combe spoke to Mr. Delacroix,
in the field, the latter said, "Oh ! I ant right. lam known to your
master" (a laugh), meaning Mr. Joseph Nicholls, who was then
coming up. Mr. Combe asked him if he was qualified, and he said
Ile was. _ _

In this case, the defendant's solicitor contended that the evidence
was at variance with the information, which charged his client with
being there with intent to kill and destroy game, and that he did
kill and destroy game, whereas the evidence only went to show that
he was beating for game."
Sir R. BIRWIE overruled this abjection, observing that he must
take the answer given by the defendant to Mr. Combo, " I am
qualified," as a tacit acknowledgement of the intent with which he
was out, and proof of the intent to kill game was quite sufficient
for this Information. Was he of age?
Defendant—l am, Sir.
.Sir R. DIRK tE—Do you reside at your father's house ?
The defendant answered iu the affirmative. _ _

Sir It. Bray/m-1s heoianibusinesTerProfession ?
Defendant—He is in trade.

Sir R. Maxie—That won't do ; you must be the son of an
Esquire to be qualified. .
I iefen 4anris icitor. —ln point of property the defendant ought
to be qualified. His father is worth four or five thousand a year.
Mr. Boyce Combe—A pretty round income for a perfumer, cer-
tainly.
Sir B. BTRNIE (significantly) Oh ! Mr. Combe, I know of other
businesses which produce as large, and perhaps larger incomes than
has been mentioned, and I could name one that does, but I won't.
Combe laughed. He was probably reminded by
inthe Chief
ate's observation, of • , certain large building Castle.
amg-acre.
—I assure your-worship that I rather underrated Mr.
Delaeroix's income.
Ifsit R. Br airtE-1 have no doubt of it, Sir. I. myself, know a
performer in Bond-street bit. Smith, to whom I should be very
glad to give 4,00 W. or 5,0001. a year fur his property. The income
of Mr. Delacruix, sen., does not, however, qualify his son. It is a
singular fact, and perhaps little known, that though this young
gentleman is the son of a respectable man, of large property, he is
not qualified, while the son of a half.pay Captain—his father
perhaps in the King's Bench for debt—would be qualified, and
why P because he is the son of an Esquire.
Mr. Delacroix being-asked if be had any answer to give to the
charge, said his father had been going to qualify some years ago,
and he (defendant) thought he had done so, and that he himself, as
the son of a qualified person, had a right to carry a gun. I re.
member," continued the defendant, addressing Mr. Joseph Nicoll.,
the witness, " that in your tuna's life time I had leave to shoot
over the ground, when you dare not show your face upon it ; and
at that time I saw you hunting. over his_ground, and could have
warned you off, but I scorned it ; and I think your conduct ex-
tremely uneourteous and ungentlemanly, to drag me here, and
make me pay a fine for that which I suffered you to do when it was
in my power to prevent it. I repeat that it is acting unlike a gen.
tleman.
Mr. Combe.—Sir, such language is not to be borne by a gentle-
man, and I will not stand tamely by, and hear it applied to a
friend of mine. Sir 11. Birnie will not, cannot suffer it ;it is his
duty to put a stop to it, inasmuch as it is highly calculated to a,
breach of the peace. I can tell you, for myself, that were I stand-
ing within reach, I would not listen to such remarks, if applied to
me, for one minute, without knocking you down.
Sir R. Blawn.—Cientlemen, gentlemen, I must stop you now
certainly.
Defendant —I again repeat that it is exceedingly uncourteous
treatment.

Sir H. BlANir.—That may have been the case, but with that
part of the story I have nothing to do. You Must settle your opi-
nions upon the question of courtesy and good manners elsewhere ;
this is not a Court of honour. It' we were to engage In settling
quarrels between gentlemen upon such points, and preventing duels,
we should never be idle.
. _ .

Mr. Delacroix.--Mbere is no fear of duelling in this ease, Sir
Richard, for be (looking at Mr. Joseph Nicolls) has shown a white
leather once already.
No reply was made to this observation.
Sir It. Bin ?TIE concluded the case by saying, that he did not
choose to state there what his opinion of the Game Laws was, nor
was it necessary that he should. There was an Act of Parliament
before him, and he was bound to proceed upon it. He considered
the charge proved, and the defendant must pay 31. and costs.
The defendant paid the line and costs i immediately, and Mr. J.
Nicolls, who, as the informer was entitled, to half the penalties, re-
quested that his share might be given to the Society for Relieving
Phor Married Women In Childbirth, at their own Habitation', of
which Institution, the Chief Magistrate is Treasurer.
