Yesterday .41e.rtendeftt sisti, the landlord of the Star
and Gaits.- wattle-house, iw St. Marlin'. lime, appeared to
a summons charging hies with buffering tippling on the
Lord 'a Day.
Benjamin Iltherson, a ruttier, stated, that oe Sisday eve.
nits& the 17,h iiibtaiii, shunt nine o'clock, he, aceogppanied
41,1st:fiend, Scent into it e above 'mine for some refreshment ;
harm* biers walking a considerable distance, they pro-
ceeded lei a room on the lira floor, and bad a pot of half.
end-half (ale and porter). A mime man was in an erns
chair •0 the head of she table who had a hammer, wits
which he kuocked on the talole to call for a sung,ailenee.
Two solar were sung while t bey were in the room, viz." Pot
Irox,"`a comic song, and a military" sung, which was ex-
plained to he " March away." This was confirmed by his
friend who accompanied him, stud who gave his name,
James Cuttermole, ahopmaa to Mr. G. Byers, of Pall-muff..
Mr. Mingle!' asked him if he bad any partielular motive
for bringing forward the complaint ? He replied, prnels
pally the impropriety of such a practice; but admitted the
a dispute bad arisen between him, his fi iand, and others i•
the room ; hot this be explained by saying, it was in costae-
quenee of him and his friend refusing to sing soup, tee
which they were biased oat of the room.
The landlord, on being called on for his dehisce, and be-
gianiag. to apish, was discovered to be a foreigner, and
proved to be an Italian, and as he expressed himself, said, it
was positively false. He denied that there was a chafe
that there was a hammer in the room, or any singing.
admitted there was a lsrge chair in the roam, which belong.
ed to a society called •• The Old Codgers." He called five
apparently respectable person., who frequent the house, ati4
were thereon the night in question, but nose of them were:
in the room at the time.
The young men who compisioed, stated, that shoot aot
o'clock, or a few minutes after, they were in the patlour, sad
mast have beard the singing, if there bad been any.
A 'clang man, who lodges in the house, said he was in the
room nearly over that iu which she singing was said to have
taken place, bat be did not hear any. He was connected with
the Prete and was writing an article at the time; he
thought he must have beard the singing if any had taken
place.
With this contradictory evidence Mr. Mind's/II called
upon.eite yogic men to give an account of themselves, which
they loam sellifacturily, and they appeared to be steady
sad hie ly respectable. The first said be had been siinpmaii
to Mr. Palmer, the cutler, in St. Jamesewstreet ; and the
other said be was showmen to Mr. Byrn, of 3, Pall-mall,
hatter. They further swell, that the landlord was its the
room when the President called fur a song.
The landlord said, that Memo asked for a park of cards.
This Ibberson explained by saying, he asked the motile
mats be sat next to dutch practices as havingsChair mast and
singing ou a Suuday night were allowed ? He admitted they
were, and even a pack of cards might be had to play with
if they 'were wished for, and to satisfy hionatif as to the cur-
recipes, of this statement, he asked' Mr. Snringi whey he
tame halo the room for a park of cards, He replied they
could be had if he would piny fur a guitars and a goose.
This Strinzi explained by saying, be did not consider the
Complainant and bit friend gentlemen, but thought they
were tailors; be also threatened to tura them tout, saying
the Cumplainant had put his leg out to trip him up.
Notwithstanding the contradictory evidence, Sir Rieharte
/limit and Mr. Minsbull appeared iodised to believe Ilse
Complaisant and his ft iend. The depositions or the latter
were taken in evidence. • V
