A complaint, im itself trivial, but of importance, ascots-
netted with the health of the cty or Loudon, came to be
heard.

of the inhabitants, as not only to prevent the access of their
customers, but even to hinder them from aprons( their a
He roil, that the whole nei;hbourhood, on whose putl,.
appealed, had been for years sufferers by this species of
sauce; and that whenever they ventured to mnsoulitirde,
as they frequestly have done, with the dcfaelteis Is this
way, they only received insolent language wad threats. He
complaiued, however, of no insolence in the mete,
but said, that he complied with the injaection of Altraa
Birch, on a former complaint, in applying to the ousel-
keeper, and having those three carts takes to the greet-yards
and the parties were sow loomed forward to answer.
One of them, a master butcher, of Woolwich, sod a most
respectable man, stated, that he should be extremely sorry to
give any offence, or crease any ieconveetierice to the City of
London ; that be would keep no servant in hi. emplooest,

avoid any such cause of ite3iplaint, but be Paned it wets im-
possible is the Darrow ;mows which approsebet the

The MACIsTRaTe said, the nuisance could not be bunts,
