MANSION-HOUSE.
PLACARD BRARERlA—Yelierday Mr. Martin, the Lottery-
Office-keeper, appeared before the Loun MAYOR, and complained
of one of the Inspectors of the Day Patrol having improperly seized
a placard belonging to him, mid taken it to the (ire-n-yard.
Martin stated, that one of his turn was carrying a placard
through the streets on the carriage-way, as he was entitled to do,
whet: the Inspector came up, took his placard from him, and lodged
it in the Green-yard.
The Inspector declared, that rile. Martin's man had mis-stated
1 the circumstance. So far front his being in the act of walking, he,
was at the time standing on the pavement, with the pole resting
on the ground, and thereby creating such an obstruction as
there was not the least doubt lie tr.ts authorised by the Act in re-
moving.
The Chief Clerk then read the clause of the New City Street Act,
and observed, there was not the least doubt that the (ranters in-
tended it to remove such things out of the streets entirely.
The Loan MAY obi said, he had received many letters from
tradesmen, who were shopkeepers, complaining of these placards
and their bearers as nuisances. His boolsliip was himself of
opinion that in crowded streets these placards were great nuisances.
He declined, however, giving any opinion whether the men RCN
entitled to carry placards through the streets; but as the present
was a new we against Mr. Martin, his Lordship allowed him to
have his placard board given bark again.
111 r. Martin declared that in future his men should walk through
the streets with the placards. lie gave this as a notice, being de-
termined to try the question, if the Inspector intetruptcti them.

A dirty looking young follow, named Evan Evans. anon of ser-
y3tit or waiter out of place, was brought upon Thursday, before the
Sitting Magistrate, 31r. Alderman .SCIIULEY, on a charge of steal.
ing and pawning swat, fiont John Allen, waiter at the liorsc•ihUe
and Star public-house, Fleet-street.
The pawnbroker produced the coat, but could not swear to the
rironer as the person who pawned it. Allen, however, positively
identified the coat as his.
The prisoner, when asked what defence he had to make, said,
with touch apparent indifference, that he was in want of money,
ant that he intended m reticent the coat, but when lie found he
sher.!l not be able to do so, lie sent Allen the ticket.
The Magistrate, conceiving that the fellow might have been led
to the offence from distress, and that he probably would not have
taken the coat bin that it belonged to en old acquaintance with
wl he might venture to take such • liberty, seemed much ilia-
p‘sted to spare himself the p-in of commuting the pnsoner.fue an
article of so trifling a value.
The prosecutor, however, felt inclined to have him punished, as
he was, he said, the very last person Evan, ought to have robbed,
having frequently assisted him with boat money and victuals when
he was in distress.
Mr. Aldermen Sc HOLEY—Hat if I commit him for trial, be will
most likely be sent to Botany Bay.
Allen—O, Sir, that I believe is what he wants ; he has often
said he should like to go out of the country—he should like to be
sent abroad.

The prisoner gave no contradiction to this assertion.
At the re-examination yesterday, the 'verse:ls who saw the pri.
soner take the coat were absent, and the prisoner was again re.
inanded till this day week.

Yesterday a Young man, named Charles Cox. was brought up.
charged With the following daring robbery. It appeared from the
evidence of Mr. Brown, the eminent builder v; Thornhaugh.creet,
Bedford-square, end that of his eldest daughter, that on Saturday
Wt, he drove up in his gig to his house in Thurnhaugh-street,
and the prisoner presented himself, begging he might be allowed
to hold the hone. Mr. Brown did not answer hint, and went into
the haste, and ow returning in less than a minute, he found the
prisoner had disappeared with a large chMse cost. The person of
the prisoner being known, he was taken into custody by Howard,
• constable, but the property was not found on his person; he was
however identified by Miss Brown, who selected him from a group
of other prisoners.
In his defence, he declared lie was at home some time before the
hour when the robbery was alleged to hare hero committed. He
called two witnesses to prove this, but they each gave dithieent sc.
count..—Tba prisoner wan fully committed to Newsate.

from that day to this, your Honour, I don't know Catty null from

when I was asleep, and stole 421. which I gathered up out of of

own hard earnings. This money, 1 amt tould, she sent oval' to hit-
broggen. to the tiddler and her five childer."
Pour Catty stood like a statue all the time, only now and then
lifting up the whites of her eyes, and ejaculating, •• Oh, then !
what I and mute to, to deserve this from you, Morgan Toonty !"
The otlicers said, that, from the Miliaria they made respecting
the case, since the man was in custody, they had every reason to
believe Tootny's story was coin-et.
Mr. ALLEN ordered him to be released, and directed the parish
talkers to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the charge against the
woman, who should be dealt with accordingly.
Morgan. upon leaving the office, said, • By my sold, the lady
shall have it jaunt over the water before long, please lied l but l'U

Sit 1:111110M NE, SEPT. 16.—A considerable sensation prevailed in
this town on Saturday last, in consequence of the sudden and extra-
ordinary death of Mr. George Russell, a respectable maltster of
Alilliorne Poet, who, on his journey home on Saturday evening.
expired at Olenne .31111, under circumstances sullieently suspicious
to warrant the detention of his son till the result of the Coroner's
Inquest ass known. On Monday morning at ten o'clock the
Coroner (Thomas looks, Esq.) and a respectable Jury atteotied
at (Thorne .Mill, inspected the body of the deceased, and then ad-
journed to the Town-hall, Sherburne, where the Comer, in open
Court. proceeded to examine witnesses.
It appeared from the testimony of GrArge Von, his wife. and
Joint ISrett, that they were at Obtxne Mill, which is occupied It
the said Geroge Foot ; that about three quarters after eight o'clock
in is evenin, they were alarmed by the cry of " murder !" re-
peated several timer ; that they. went towards the turnpike road,
whence the cry proceeded, and arm the &must and 1114 son near a
hone and gig in a *cultic. One of the witnesses saw the son strike
his Luber ; and on the miller, George Foot, getting near, the de.
ceased called 011 hint and datum! his ptOlCCtlOll. The son said his
' tither was drunk • bin the father denied it, and said he would go no
turther that night it the miller would allow hint to remain ; that he
would go into the house and convince them that he was not intoxi-
cated, and show them where he was beat, placing his hand on his
heed ; he gilded. •• that villain there !" pointing to his nun. Foot
and Brett then proceeded to open the yanl.gote, to secure the horse
and gig, when further altercation took place between the deceased
and his son, who cut the reins, anti would also have cut the traces,
but fur the interference of the tithingition, John Brett, who took
the son into custody by order ot the deceased. Whilst Foot was
securing the gig, he saw tbo deceased sinking behind it ; he spoke
to hint but received nu answer; he removed his neckerchief;
the deceased snored, looked dark in the face, and in a few minutes
sunk on the ground, arid died in the anus ot lust;. On the son
being informed that his father was dead, he appear.slfrantic. threw
I himself across the body, kissed it, and exclaimed, •6 Oh my
father ! my dear father !"
John Parsons continued this testimony, and *doled that he ar-
rived as the deceased was sinking; his tact appeared eery dark,
his mouth was drawn a little on one side, and spittle was oozing
, from it. _ _

Foot his wife being recalled. confirmed this testimony.
Mr. Millard. a gentleman who lives near, came just as the de.
ceased sunk on the groutul ; he found the action of the heart had
• ceased. liis evidence tended to confirm the Above. lit added that
' the aon was obliged to be taken away by violence from the body,
• and in addition to the exclamation of " Oh, my father !" he also
said. '• Olt, Christ ! what a night!"

Shirt borne, and the ostler of %Vim tienge, who took out deceased's
gig and horse, anal saw him and his son proceed towards

the deceased complained to them several times lately that i.e was

lie. Bradley, and Mosso. Bray and Simmontle, surgeons. Jo.
roactl that they examined the deceased. The only nark of external
violence was on the left eyebrow, and that was so slij ht as to render
it extremely improbable to have causal death. rhe contents of •
the cranium were examinee'. The vessels, superfieLt and deep.
seated, were extremely full. and the medulla,' limner contained
blood. The lungs and intestines were perfect, except the pleura, or •
investing ire iiihrane of the lungs, on the left side, which was dn.. I
eased, and in port ossified. There could be no doubt but that the
deceased died of apoplexy, brought On by violent passion; aided, •
pedlar, in some AIM degree, by the blow, which, although tri.
fling in its eit;et„ and not likely to produce injury in the generality
of mankind, yet site a subject predi,posed to apoplexy, with an ins-
, poled circulation, by the disease in the pleura, it might have been
• an aiding cause.
The Coroner, after an investigation which lasted till 1.1 o'clock
at night, recapitulated the evideitce, and stated the law to the Jury,
wbo consulted about two hours, and rententsl their verdict as fol-
lows :--" Thot the &yeasts:l Caine by his death (Finn alk111:1;
induced by agitation of mind, arising from the violent and Lianant•
gal conduct of his sun."
