The mailemeence has hue, that one Magistrate has decided
that 11 o'clock it i late hour, and soother, that I? o'clock
is mote late hour! The inniority of the persons summoned,
were fined in mitigated penalties.
Mr. Brown, the landlord of the Rose and Crown, St.
MartioNalane, was charged with having his house open, and
suffering tippling therein, after It o'clock on Saturday night
last.
Willies Stringhnew, a common informer, residing at
No. 11, Hamilton-place. Clerkenwell, stated, that he went
into the Defendant's bowie after the hour of twelve, on Se-
turd', night, and saw three persons and a watchman in the '
bar. One of the persons was drinking a glass of spirits, and
others were being served with porter at the bar. 1
Mr. Brows stated, that he was shutting up his house when
the iotormer came in, and pretended to be shivering with '
eol,l, and asked him to warm him half a pint of putter.
Seeing that he appeared very chilly, out of humanity he
complied with his request, and had he not have been detain.

bad his house shot up by twelve o'clock.
A solicitor, on the part of the Defendant, cross-examined
the informer, and he would wt swear that It was more than
three spates past twelve when be left the Defendant's
hook.
Mr. Brown stated to the Magistrates, that the persons he
two. serving with beer when the ouformer entered his house
were respectable shopkeepers who lived within a few
doors, who did not close their shops till twelve o'clock, and
at that hour always came for the beer for their 'tippets ; and
It wuold be very bard indeed if be shonld be fined under such
eireemstaucer, as it vu well koowe that on a Saturday night
tradesmen kept open their /hops till twelve o'clock
The tradesmen alluded to were called, and confirmed the
landlord's statement.

landlord to
same pretence as need In the former ease.
The landlord of the White Horse, Hungerford, was also
fined io the same sum. He, after paying the Sue, detailed
to the Magistrate the plan which the informer adopted to
induce hies to draw him the beer. He pretended to be lame,
and cold, and prayed that be would warm bus beer, and kept
him fronsitloming hie house till it was past twelve o'clock,
and he (the landlord) was sure " that if such a villain was
encouraged no man was safe."
The Magistrate said, that he would not suffer the infor-
mer to be called • " villisii," and bad he sot proem :need the
fine, he should have felt it his duty to have convicted hint in
the full penalty. Calling a man • villain was exciting a
breech of the peace, end be had a great mind to compel him
to find bail for the offence.
The landlord of the Burrs Head, Hungerford, pleaded
guilty, by the advice of his Solicitor, and was lined 20e.
The landlord of the One Tan, OtteTua-eourt, Strand, was
fined !Os., for the same offence.
REAL LIFE.
A simelese cadger was brought before the Magistrate,
having been grabbed by one of the Mendlcity Society traps,
upon his marrow bona*, st the corner of one of the 'tree's,
"eipplicattng," as the northern bard would say. a few of
Bolton's Brummagem browns, from the pedestrians palmier
the spot, at that particular period.
The poor fellow, who was bare headed u well as bare-
footed, held in his band a paper, on which was written, " I
tim i• distress, pray give relief; the smallest trifle received ;"
and be appeared in a starving condition. The sulker stated
that be had been "on the tows" some time. Upon she Ma-
gistrate inquiring his place of settlement, he stated that
Thoreborough, in Gloucestershire, was bus parish, which
place be left, having uo work, and lie was obliged to beg or
starve. This poor wretch (it was observed by a person pre-
sent at his mislaid ion) is olio of those " superurrestruces"
that, secoidiug lo Malting,. springs op in an 'met-Po-
pulated community. No Prisoner so foil of HA has re.
ceoitly beeo committed from this fee. Thoor era, wit-
seised his terithtnos, shrugs, twinges, and scratches, mid
