to; med his Lot dship, that he knew the man well, and
that lie worked a. hard as a horse, pia.king pockets.
The prisoner said he could bring witnesses to prove
that he was not in Fleet-street on Saturday. The
LORD MA voit thins fore remanded hint until Satur-
day, and. desired hint to have his ssitnesses then be-
, tote Wm. The prisoner was quite dissatisfied at
this ender, as it would deprive him of the opportu-
nity of ejf •ii.tiez on Thursday next at bald Nelson's
funeral.

ripthe M acits•ra•T Ls at this Office, charged by the
F.arl of Barrymore with violently ringing at the bell
of his Lordship's hall-door, in Sackville-street, at
- . an unseasonable hour. It appeared from the evi-
dence of a friend of the Noble Earl, that between
one and two o'clock on the mooting of Sunday
last, while he was sitting with Isis Lordship, a
violent singing of the hall-bell was heard: they
rushed out, and while his Lordship seized one of
the prisoners; the watch took the other. Frequent
knockings and rineings had been heard previous
to this time, and it was supposed with some felonious
intention. One of the prisoners, Tnemays James, a
young man of :slant eighteen years of age, had been
some months in his Lordship's service, as groom. •
k• The prisoners, in their defence, said, that having
been out la'e, they bad gone to a public house in the

Yesterday, Charles /lye Tyinnee was again brought
up for TC.eldmmAtinn, before the MAGISTRATES At
this 01:itc, upon the several charges made on the
former occasion, and which we have given an ac-
count of in our paper of Friday last. Ile prisoner
is a young man, and had been upwards of twelve
years a Li/toenail: in the navy, and latterly in the
,• - impress service, but from some indiscretions was re.
r duced to half pay. None of the persons who had
charged him on the former day appealing to sub.
i,, stanuate those charges; after a severe reprimand
Irons the Sitting NI ,GIS TR ATE, he was dismissed.
. ,
When retiring, he tonfe,sed he had been guilty of
some indiscretions, but nevi t with a criminal inten-
tion, as be did not, upon any occasion, conceal his
real name. He now saw Isis errors, and 'would
e endeavtour, by Lis hi ore i;,riod conduift, to atone for
.0
theist. A sheriff's Officer, however, attended to
;a. ust him, upon a civil anion, at the suit of his
agc.nt, for a considerable sum of money advanced,
-- . auJ be was conducted to a lock.ap-house.
