CITY POOR-RATE:B AND TITHES.
MANSION HOOF.—Yeatertlay, two inhabiiants of the parish
of St. Ohre, Hart-etreet, of which Dr. Owen is the incumbent,
were roramoned• for refusing to pay their pales rates.
The parish officers state, that the iniu.biaints refuse to par their
rate. ; that the poor WC starving and clamorous; and that all
thi. is the work of the Doctor, who has not only refused toper rater
on his tithes, but has also incited the other inhabitants Dot to
pay their rates.
Mr. Buckle and Mr. fillalse, the defee,rlants. both r2sisted the pay-
ment of the rates, on the ground that they Wall unequally assessed.
Their rates were neatly doubles{, at daytime that IiOgIC of the parish

•
...Semi were reduced. - .
Mr. ANDREWS, Who appeared u Counsel for the parish, 1:;id,
that by the Act the defendants were bound to pay the rates, until a
pm ding appeal agairst them was decided. Uut the parish ofl•
errs •ere not entailed to levy more than the amount of the prior

asatestment.
Mr. Buckle—la's a rotten piece of business, or you would not
have been brought here to support it. (Lsughter.)
II A wons.we asked him to wait until the meal came on.
The Loa u MAYOR raid that according to the ',totem• nt of the
patriot when they first came betore him, it certainly apFearett that
there w 84, valet r Unary inequalities in the rsa•ssutents of the
TAlu,s. It was true, however, as stated by the Ltrarned Costr.et,
[Ow the rates must be paid until the aopea I was det.r.t,ined ; but
the rah officers were not entitled to levy mere than the
amounpat of the pev!ous assearment. Ile then ordered the deft.nel..

ants to pay thei rates.
Mr. Dixon a d the parish officers of Bishop• gate appeared to
hear I.is Lordship's determination on their applicat on for a warrant
against the homer-mentioned person for tithes. Ile reNitted rim the
ground that the parish officers had apnlied a comideralde amount
of the money collected for tithes to the budding ot a house for their
hwumbent„ the Wallop of Chester.
The Loan MAYOR said he had rot only lacked over the Act
of Parliament himself very carefully, but, what was rrhaps better,
he hod taken the opinion of the pity Solicitor upon the subject;
that lieratientan agreed with him in opinien that the power of
ossifying any error as to the assessment of the rate lay with
'he Msgistratea at the Session'', and was not pas:retired by any
individual Magistrate. lie wished to repeat his ronvli Con thst
there was no parish uncle' better general management than the pas '
ruts r f Mallow:gate.
Mr. Dixon—But, my Lord, I object not merely to the a•sess-
mr t.rt ti the rate itself. ;dr ny that they hare the power to
f n oree the mit meat ot'• rate which is raised to ray the expellee. of
hulloing a house for a Bishop: it never can be le, al, that Insides
paying a stipend ot 2.rdlltl. per annum for the support of* Bishop,
we are obliged also to pay a rate for building him a house in Dec
rcnshite-artu tr t. at a cost of between 4 and 5.M/el.?
Mr Smart. the Vtwry Clerk, declared there sac not the slightest
ground for any reflection on the eiaracter of he Bight Rev. Pre-
late. He also denied that the house newly built in the church-
yard was let to • merchat4, as stated by Mr. Diana.
The LORD MAYOR said he was confident that nothing to the
prejudice ot the Bisnop of Cheater could be well feur.tltd •, his
example vas particularly serviceable to the other clergy, and his
conduct was highly ber.clicial to the City at large, as well as to the
iAtabi arks of his parish; no clergyman could stand more high
or more deservedly in the esamation of his parish". nen ; and his
Lordship was sure that they would cheerfully contribute towards
the expense of the building.
Mr. Dixon—l deny that the Parish Officers hare made the rate
for a purpose for which they are entitled.
The Loan MATOII-1 cannot determine diet. Will rots pay
the sum for which you are assessed? Mr. Dixon—Certainly not.
The LORD M Avon—Then let a warrant be issued. AD.
Dixon—Very well, my lord ; I am prepared.
The Loon MAYOR—VnII may, if pits choose, appeal to the
Sessions. Mr. D,xim—l will rot appeal to the Sessiors t but I
will, on the first day of next Term, or as early as posit:de, orPlr to
the Court of King's Bench for a criminal infomtatiou against the
Parish Officers, for misapplication of the perish money.
The warrant of distress was then issued.

day after/Won, About lout o'clock, while standing under th- portico
of Drury-lane theatre, his attention was attracted by a loud alterca-
tion between hit son (Mr. West, jun.) and the dr f-ra'art ; on
which he advanced, with the view of arreermining the cruse of quar-

had for sonic time existed between Mr. West. junior, and hit Wife,

MISCONDUCT OF PATROLS.

drunk and disorderly, and, together with another patml on the
same establishment. whose name is as eft unknown, with havioe
created it riot and disturbance in (loswell-street-road, to the great
annoyance of the inhabitants.
Mary Miler, a Cypriot nymph, dressed in the Colombine
fashion, was placed at the bar on the name charge, and, from the
disordered appearance of both, it was quite evident that they hach
been drinking sonic liquor more inapiriung than water.
31r. T. bucket?, a respectable grn:leman, residing in Goswell-
steeet, toiled that be hail seen the defendant °neat and another
patrol, in company with the fettcle .at the bar going about the
streets, evideosly in a state of shameful intoxication, and conduct-
ing themselves in so shameless and disorderly a manner, n% to canoe
a large crowd of people sat collect about them, and the whole neigh-
bourhood was kept in • corn mush uproar, until at last, it was found
necessary to give them into the custody of a parish constahle.
One if the patrols made off, and the defendant bring a mnst power-
ful fellow, mole resistance, said that he was an officer of the Bow-
Street Establishment, and that no person should dare to interfere
with him; however, when sufficient assistance wee procured, he
was taken into custinly, along with the woman, whowas much more

tr:ctable.
One of the puish constables, who assisted in the apprehension of
tl:e prisoners, raid that they had been seen wandering about in the
sante manner front four o'clock in till' morning; the woman, it
seemed had been spending the previous night nt the New V :tutt-
hall-gertlens, White Condelt.lcoure ; and on V!r way frolitegillina:l
was met by the too patroh. They bad all three been dent:Myr
at different public-houses, and the conduct of the fentsle was of
the most indelicate description. Guertin was very noisy and
abusive to the people in the stree's, but .he behaviour of his
companion was far more reprehensible; he not only *track several
Demons, but even stopped at a gentleman's door, insisting that
he had a right to admission, well knowing it to be a house of
Two Gentlemen who had witnessed, some part of this disgrace-
ful oven,. corroborate this statemcm.
Guertin, end( avoured to convince the Magistrate that this was
all 'a mere intentien—he positively slimed that he was ant
drunk. though to be sure, the girl might be a little bit " termi-
nated," and it was only in the execution of his duty that be was
trying to get her out of the street.
Air. lions:RS—Then ant I to believe your word in preference to
the oaths of these respectable gentlemen P—Guertin.Wity, now, I
only leave it to any gentleman here If I am drunk ; now am I
drunk P that's the point, do you roe ?
Mr. ROOE Rs—Doe% any one kiln re the other patrol P
The constable said that he could be identified, but no one knew
him by mune, unless his associate thought proiser to tell who he
was. _ _ .

Mr. ROGERS—Mint is the name of the person who was along
with you on this mutation /—Guertin—l don't know his name, Sir
I don't indeed.
Mr. ltoefas—Do you mean to tell me that you don't know the
name of your fellow-onions I—Guertin (rather confused)—No--yea
—no—l mean I don't kt:ow las name.
Mr. itOGERS—Wax he not on duty with you last night ?—Yes,
your he was.
Mr. Ronerte—And you persist in saying that you do not know
his n ime /—Nn, inth'edi Sir, lOm not, There are 24 on that sta-
tion, and it is impoesil,le for me to remember all their names.
Mr. ItonEns then intimated that he would take an effectual
means of assisting his memory on this point, by eausins; a report of
this scandalous transaction to be forwarded to the Home Depart-
ment.

There being no specific charge against the female prisoner she
wan merely locked up until she became sober, and waa then libe-
rived with a suitable admonition.
Mr. ROG Eris, haring commented, in forcible terms, on the Kim
conduct of the two patmln, directed :11r. !klallett, the Chief Clerk,
