something about a pound being short, hot ded no keow the
p.r.:iculars of the effsie. Mr. Stele contendeel that the
case was an attempt to fix an undeserved accusation upon
the office's, who %ere not officers of the curt now, as the
transaction bad occurred a considerable tine ..ago. He
statel that, he wes instructed the cffieers bad made a

several points in the previous evidence, pri,,cipally as to
the presence r f the lodger in the eveting, and the intoxica-
tion of one of the cfffeers. He stated that he had no
interest in the tranenctior, being only plaintiff in the
former care in the capacity of an exeeetor. The officers,
Seymour and Roberts, rave evidence to a similar effect.
Ilie llonorir raid he could not, after the evidence given by

SERIOUS ACCIIANT AND L 033 OF PROPERTY
!AT THE NEW LANDING STAGE.

Yesterd,:y morning, slyztly after ten o'cl ,ck, an accident
occurred at the 'New_ Lauding-,stage, and the 'lives of
several persons were much en langered ; fortunately, h )vv-
ever,. the*, all escaped, but :hi loss of property is very
corisiderairle. "About the above hour, a large travelling
carriage, belonging to Mr. Fildn, commercial traveller to
the firm of Messrs. Roberts, of Summer-roe, Birmingham,
filled with goods, was taken to the New Landing-stage for
the purpose of being taken to Birkenhead by the Tranmere
steamer. When:et the top of
,the north bridge, the horses
were taktn out, and the wheels were "se r!ched in the
usual wiy, but the incline 'Ling s) Very great,.the-e.:.rriage
ra .1 with great rapidity quite across the stage into the river,
knocking. dowa two or three persons, and .it was moat
fortunate that tha captain of the Tranmere boat escaped
being droa:ned. Th carriage ,flowed a considerable
dis-
tance, and several small boats, with two steam tugs, went
off for the .purpose of endeay.ming to save it nod the
property, which was exceelingly valuable, consisting of no
less am 29 boxes and pick tges, toir,eth r with, dressing
casev, .an I other .articles, Before. it sank, several boxes
were secored by the exertions of theboatmen, and•it is
exseetei that the•otber property will yet be saved. A great
many complaints h been made of the great diffimll,of
convey in; property dowa tlkse bridges. pertimlarly at
water, es the ircline is so great that it is all bat impassible
to prevent accidents; and had there been chains round it,
as 6here are on the other, it vvould have been impossible f)r
the carriage to have run into the river, aid this Las of
property might have been Ea e 3.

THE BILLETING SYSTEM AND THE L'CENSED
VICrUALLERS..

Yesteal M.. John Lowtas, a lieeessel vict iallee, car-
rying on business in Mulberry-street, witesumraoned before
tee bench of magistrates, under a sae ien of the mutiny
act, for having refused to tele in a col Her who htd been
bideted upon him, for which offeeci he had seta lend him-
self liable to a heavy peealty., Rymer, the soliei or
to the
.Isiceesed Victuallers' Association, att-n led to wetch
the me on behalf: of the defendant,. who is a member of
that association. This case exei-ed a considerable amount
of interest astiorigst the pablicans of the hewn, a great
number of whom were present. The billet-master was
first celled, and he stated that oa the 101 inst. he issued a
billet to Corporal Benj imin Martin, of the Scots Fusileer
G lards. The bidet.was addressed to the defendant, who;
le be tad subsequently been informed, refused to take the
soldi. r in, and another billet was-issued. C rporal Manin
was then called, end he stated th:t af:er he received the

where they PAW a v sting men, whom they isupp;sed to be
hi; sun. Ile said they were in the habit of giving soldiers
4d per -eight, but the- corporal 'refu-e.l to take it, and
- was told that he ceul I have a bed in the house.
.He went againin the af,erroan, when he saw the defendant
who sail that he was not the man that tte li let was for,
- het he assured him that he was, and showed
,him his name
in his coat. He went again at night when be wee refused
a bed; and then he went to the police oflieeriand they fore
manly demanded the bed, but it was dgain refused, the
defendant saying that he Was not the man, By Mr.
s :He went to. the le use 'three times in
the course of the day. He would s wear that he to'd the
lad end the defendant that he was the. man named in the
billet. The sergeant was with him eni heart what passed.
He did not ask them what they usually gave, bat the lad
s tid they gave 4d., and when he sail he eMI not get a
bed for that, he was told there wee a bath for. him, - .He
would positively swear that he did not shy that the bed
was not for him, but fora dirty rCertiit doetn la the tosn.
There was no person with him when heeweht in thesafter-

served the billet. The defendivic said he was not the same
The sergeant was then called, and lie fully corroborated
:the statsment of the corporal, and denied that he

the defendant said, the corporal was not .the man, end ha
umiak not have him in the hoesee and that then had at-
tempted to impo et upon him by sending a dirty fellow in
the afternoon—therefore he weuld heves the e etc ge before
the magistr tree. • Mr. Rymer then addressed the Bench
for the defend tut, whe, he 'stated-, was a most respectable
man; that he had c inducted his beSieeis for sireen years,
end had tiever once been sumesoned, or a complaint made
against him. -Ia this instants he had refused the 'billet on
p ive;ple, because he felt cenvieeed that tSey had tradea•
voared to imeoso upon him. then read a letter from
Colonel Be I, who expressed a wish to have the'rnatter in-

very fr- questly adoeted by soldiers. He than went
on to explain the hardships the psesent bilioting system
was upon th public ins, and to show th it in- this else dame
had been ne willful refusal, bat an attempt had been male
to extort. money from the defendant by a- gross imeositton.
He called Richard.. Therntone the !retina/an, who said he

that it was the Corporal whe said so. hat I will swear it.was
one of them. Mr. T. Sykes, &pub least of Christian-street;

A labourer named J hilsee, spoke to a seldier going to the
house in the course f the eliesnosn,, with a:dirty. fellow,
and saying this is the man, but he could not say whether it
was, the corporal or eot. Mr. Riraer contended that be
