It. will be aeon from this paper, that the prisoner was deter-
mined, if he could escape, to take away with him what he had
stolen.
Buxton, the officer, stated, that as lie was conveying the pri-
soner to the Mansion.laouse, the latter endeavoured to escape up
an alley, and on finding it, impossible to do so, said, " I see you
are too sharp for me." The officer found several duplicate of

living in the vicinity of Cheapside, was travelling in Herkslij,

room he found., solus„ a gentleman of very imposing exterior, btu
ing much the appearanceot a military man, and with him he got'
into conversation, and found him in manners and education a per-
fect gentleman, and altogether one of the most agreeable and enter.:
mining companions he had ever had the good fortune to meet wigs.
He stated In the course of conversation that he had his bone there,.
and that being on a pleasurable tour, and liking the country
about. ver y much, he should stay for a few days. They

they breakfasted, and afterwards walked out together. They toaA

QUEEN-SQUARE':
A Maxtric.—On Tuesday morning, tist as the Magistrates
had taken their saes as be bench, Mr. Ne, ale, the proprietor of the
Gan Tavern, Pimlico, soared the office, and requested the as-
assumes of an officer is anceting a young gentleman who was then
in his house, and who he feared intended either to shoot himself,
or some other person, as he was armed with a detonating pistol
loaded to the muzzle.
It appears that the gentleman alluded to le an officer In the Ho-
mumble East India Company's service, and for the last eight or
ten days he has been in the habit of frequenting the coffee-room of
the Gun Tavern, but till the torment time no person knew who or
what he was. He was remmkshly reserved in hie manner, and
was never known to enter Into any argument with the rest of the
company. He generally sislaseelf in a remote part of the room,
and his chief drink was iseeeeo. From his reserved behaviour he'.
was considered by _ all se lap Mooring ender some depression of
spirits, and Mr. Wale GM lie waiters were particularly attentive
to hint, and took especial dire tot to cause his displeasure. On
Tuesday morning last, he came, as usual, to the coffee-own. and
finding no person there, he went Into the gardens, and having
taken his seat at one of the matte tables, he called for a glass 61'
porter. The waiter took it to him directly ; after drinking It, he
dew from his pocket • pistol, which he closely examined,
particulars about the lock. He afterwards arose fawn his seat and
paced the gravel walks in a very disturbed manner, with the pistol
is his hand. Several genffiemen who were in the gardens at the
time felt alarm for their personal safety, and left with all possible
haste, having first mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Wale, who
endeavoured to soothe the unfortunate gentleman, but to no pur-
pose ; he came up to the bar and presented the pistol at the breast
of Mrs. W. who ran away in the utmost state of alarm, and indeed
the whole establishment was thrown into the greatest confusion.
He also put it to the head of Mr. Wale, but fortunately no mischief
ensued. At length he resumed his seat, and accidentally placed,
the pistol before him on the table, and it was dexterously
by the waiter, who delivered it over to his master, when it gicillg,
covered to be loaded with ball. On his missing It front the table'
he became desperate, and declared vengeance on every person if it
was not restored to him instantly. Mr. Wale told him that he felt
it his duty, for his own as well as his family's safety, to detain the
pistol, which he would deposit In the hands of the police, and he
could have it at some future period. This did not appease his an-
ger, and the result was that Mr. W. very properly laid the ease be-
fore the Migistrates, for than to dispose of it as they thought pro-
per. On these facts being communicated to them, they despatched
Pam and Woodbury, the Awn, to bring the gentleman before I
them, but with special order% to use as little restraint as possible.
The officers lost no time in executing their mission, and on enter.
ing the gardens of the Gun Tavern they found him sitting very
quietly, apparently absorbed in thought, and he walked without the
least compulsion to the office, where he was, by order of the Ala.',
gistrates, taken every care of till the evening.
At the seven o'clock sitting he was brought into the justice-mem,
and took his scat by the sideof the Magistrates. He is
looking man, and not more then twenty-five years of age,
in • fashionable sere: ea a ra watitaire, and from his
there can be no doubt but his mind is disordered. It
ascertained that hie Name Is Jordin, that heels the son of the lasi
Mr. Joplin, the banker, of Seven Oaks, in Kent. He has healj
six years in India, in the Company's service,- and has only arrives*
in England about six • weds the latter part of which time he
has resided in the family of Mr. Lee, the Kings Messenger, No. 3,
Little Charlotte-street, Pimlico.
The unfortunate-young gentleman said, in accounting for the
possession of the pistol, that It belonged to his brother, and that if
it was loaded he was not swan of it. He declared he bad not the
least intention of doing mischief, either to himself or • any other of
his Majesty's subjects.
The Magistrates said, that, under all the circumstances, they
felt it to be their bounden duty to call upon him to fled sureties
to keep the peace. No doubt he could procure the attendance of
his friends. e
The young gentleman said he had no friends in London, but
gave the name of his agent at Seven Oaks, who would come to
town immediately, if sent to.
The Magistrates then desired that the agent should be apprised
of the circumstance, and in the interim ordered Mr. Jordin to be
provided with an apartment at the Exchamer Coffee-house, where
be would be kindly treated till the snivel pf his friends in London,
where he at present remains. .

II A R LBOROUG If-STREET.
Sarah Louis was yesterday brought up by *lr. Hairy Pribrili
• charge of being found concealed in his cataract night.
...1
Mr. Prior, who occupies the principal part of the house, Na ees,
Great George-etreet, had, about a fortnight age, taken into his
service a girl newly arrived from the country, and entirely ignorant
of town. With this girl, the prisoner, under the pretext of carry-
ing about pincushions for sale, had contrived to fornt an 'Acquaint-
ance. From selling pincushions she gradually began to intimate
her skill in the mysteries of fortune-telling, and to represent herself
as • " cunning woman," who could lift up the veil from the ob-
scurest events of futurity. Our young maiden, over whose head
some sixteen or seventeen summers may have shed their sun-shine,
yielding to the impulse of that sovereign attribute of the fair
daughters of Eve
Which for an apple damned mankind,"
consented to introduce the wimovotnan Into the kitchen. Accord-
ing to pre-agreement, she took with her a pack of " the d—rd
pictures," so bethumbed and blackened, that kings and queens and
knaves, with all their rt cetera of aces and deuces, had ceased to
have any visible distinction. They had completed the charm, sod
the "coming events" of the young maid's life had been shadowed
forth, not in " dim and distant perspective," not in obscure sod
symbolic intimations, but in the visible and tangible form of a pro-
mind sweetheart; and the book of fate was scarcely closed when 1
the knocker announced master's presence. Our enchantress in.
seemly alarmed herself into the cellar, whither, in consequence d-
ome previous warning. she was pursued by Mr. Prior.
When called on for her defence, she hemm'd and he'd, and wept, '
and entreated, and protested, hut to no purpose.
" I shall convict you," said Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate,
" of going about as a rogue and vagabond, pretending and profess-
ing to practise the art and mystery of telling fortunes.'
She was accordingly committed to the House of Correction, to be
kept to hard labour for two months.
WORSHIP-STREET.
GAS r. Gas, IN CONTINUATION.-,ln consequence of the re-
port of this case, which appeared exclusively in our Paper of yes-
terday, this Office was crowded at an early hour with individuals
interested in the Magistrate's decision. At about half.past eleven
o'clnck, Mr. Gregory. on the part of the " Imperial," presented
himself before Ale. Twyford, and requested, as a matter of favour,
as he had business in another quarter to attend to of the greatest
importance, that he would be kind enough to postpone the delivery
,of his decision until as late an hour as might be convenient to hint.
None of the other parties were at that moment in attendance, and
Mr. Twyford not being enabled to consult the mutual convenience
of the persons bummed, postponed his decision until two o'clock.
At that hour 31e. Gingery. accompanied by a vast number of the
Directors of the "-Imperial,'• and Mr. Woodward, attended by an
equal number of the Directors of the " Independent," made their
appearance. In the event any quedion of scientific importance
being mooted, as was the ease on the first hearing, each party
came attended by persons well Isdigaintett with the manufacture and
effect of gas, as well as of its dangerous and explosive qualities io
the event of mismanagement.
Mr. Tw yr oet ii, having referred to his notes, observed, that
he yesterday omitted to ask a question, which, although It would ,
not materially affect his declaim), wu one upon which he was de.
sireus of removing all doubt front his mind. Ile was anxious.*
know what was the value of the gas alleged to have been the,:
" wilfully and maliciously" wasted.
Mr. l'ickery, on the part of the Imperial, was then swain,
and stated, with much gravity, that its intrinsic worth was about
one penny and a fraction of a farthing.—tlmmoderate laughter.) •
lily. TWYFORD—I have had some difficulty in making up my
mind upon this subject ; that difficulty being occasioned as much
perhaps by the wording of the complaint, as expressed in the sum.
mate, as of the general nicety of the question itself ; but as I oh.'
serve that the Act of Parliament upon which this complaint Is'
grounded affords the power of appeal, that difficulty has been cons I
siderably removed. I have carefully and attentively read oree the I
evidence, and consulted the Aces of Parliament, which were
quilted by the legal gentleman engaged on the part of time Indpende
ent Company ; and comparing the provisions of those Acts with
She evidence adduced, which has also engaged my particular coot&
iteration, I shall convict one of the parties complained splint,
'tamely,. Charles Glover, for having` wilfully," but not " mall-
cloudy. ' wasted tett cubit feet of inflammable air or gas, property
belonging to the Imperial Gas Company. It was quite clear that
Glover had no right to go to the plea alluded to In the information.
and that the escape was Immediate, hot net done " maliciously."
I shall therefore convict him in the smallest penalty, namely, forty
shillings.
Mr. Iroonwatth hoped, that he should be considered as act-
Mg with everedeftreece to the opinion of the Magistrate, which he
had not the slightest wish to hapogn, but as the question was of
some importance to his clients, and was also one in which the pub.
!'lle at large was immediately concerned, he should consider himself
I bound to give unhesitating notice of his intention to appeal to the
Quarter Sessions.
Mr. Tweroun expressed himself much eitisfied it the notice
of appeal, inasmuch Is it would lead to an enlarged discussion of
the meats of the case before I more competent tribunal.
