The Coors were occupied a great put of this day
in hearing the argument' of Couseel upon an Ap.
peal Cause, *pp srently of little issoollst, on recount
of the small amount of the disputed sum. but
which, in its result, must prove of considerable im-
portance to the blaster of the Appellant, as well as
a material pilot for the public to b.. informed of.
It was an Appe.,l by a potter of Mr. Hatchet, of
the Whirr Horse Cellar. Piccadilly. against a con-
vidion of limes Reid, Esq. the Wagistrate at
Bnw-street, fx unlawfsely detnandii g the sum of
tarn-oencr, for warebouse-ronm, in addition to the

porterage, on the delivery of a parcel to a gentle-
man. in ; and the question was.
whether the charge for warehouse-room be legal !
Tots WAS. consequently, of great importance between
the coaclomaster and the public.
After hearing Counsel upon both sides, the
Learned Chairman, Mr. kl • I MG, delivered
it AS his decided opiiiina. that the add tional charge
of two-pence for warehouse-room. WAS pCI teekly ille-
gal. and the Court accordingly confirmed the en-
crefirn v•lth costs.

The ellihnients of Counsel, upon other Appeals,
of no general interest or imporrance. n xt occupied
the attentlor, of the Court ; after whici., the Jury
were sworn in, and they proceeded to the trial of
various assaults, of which the following were alone
worthy of notice :
_ . _

'fete Specs:, and PLe4e his wife. stood indifted
for assaulting Mary Hewitt, on the 12th of June
last. It appeared, from the testimony of the Pro-
muftis, that the traverser. resided in tb • next boast
to her. in Crown-court. Sohn. and dealt in rauins
and ceumpets. She herself kept a green gro..r's
shop. About twelve o'clock, on the 12. h of June,
Spratt, the hi:eland. tame into her house, and de.
mended the reason of her abusing t is wife, and
giving a bad chararler to his fv.u.se He then
struck her a blow upon ber atm, pelted her with the
potatoes whici' we:e lying fot sale, threw some let-
tuces, and flung the baskets in which they
were, at her. Ihere was 315(.2 pail full cf water, at
the corner of the shop window, with which the wile
of Stout wetted he: to the skin
Ott her cross-examination by Mr ALLEY,
site swore that she did not know ihe reasan of
Spratt's thus abusing b rr. She never did charge
his wise .ith keeping an improper Meuse, nor ever
',Petite an U•ICIVik d to either or see harem's ;
but, during the whole affray. owes.] iskt a typber.
This acchint was cotr-fintrated by I...evidence of
11.1uns, and r t a female friend of the Pro-
secirtr.s. From the master in whielt iney hods de-
livered their testimony. it appeared to be an acrt-
-1710111,US prosecution.

threw the poAtom at ear is Os, sr. The Prosuntrit
also made use of very disagreeable language td Mrs
Spratt •r!. Jury found them Garrity. and the
Court adjudged James Sprats to pay a fie
thirteen shillings and fourpence, and his wife one of
six shilling. arid eightpevice.
Sons, journeymen seoemakers, of the names of
Pew, Welkinape. Newt2n, Beeman, f/-,Kberee. and
Iretkitir, were charged with assaulting one John
Frame's. The Prosecutor Francis stated, that he
had been kept oat of work mar two yetis by the
contbiaatioa ,4 the traversers against Lim. Tla:t
on the Jst of June last, by the advice of his em-
ployer, he went where the travcrsers were, to ni et
the assault. They were, with many other persons,
sitting in their club-rtirsin, at the corner of
Gstun-
court, Eaton-street. Witness sat down for nerr an
hour, when a ;piton named Cornish called urn'.
him to pay his hoe. He thee got up to captain the
reason of his inability to do so, when some moms
cried, tt Kick him out." He was struck by one
Arnold, sand by t're tr see Newtnn, but none of
the other persons in Court struck him. It was be-
tween the hoots of nine and ten o'clock. and ke was
by no means drunk. On his cross-examination it
appeared, that he had sworn before the Grand
Juty. that m:n who were not in the room at all
during the 'right, had struck him, and that his fa-
ther induced him so svrear against them.

I'sio n itnesses, named Coles and Watson, moore,
that they were in the roam, ar,d that the Pt °motor
never was struck by the traverstr,Ne
The Jury appeared fully satished of the inset., re
statement of the Prosecutor, and argaitted alt the
Defendants.

Jana* tiroses Was acquittal of an assault upon
Wm. Lloyd, one of the lnspe&ors appointed by the
Committer for the rarrz.val of nuisances M toe pa-
rish of fit. James.

From the evidence it appeared. that although Us°
Officer was obstruaed in the amain° of his duty..
yet there w.ts not dill proof of his having suliand
any violence.
'rhe CHAIRMAN ♦ery properly admonished the
Defendant on the impropriety of his conduct ill ob-
struSing an Otlicer itr the execution of his dirty, and
reconimended him to be careful of again sohjesliting
himselt to the penaltiesof the Aft of Patti:menu

The Hurricane of Thursday night did not nett-
shut so much damage as might have been espeaed
a large tree in Bt. James's Park was blown down •
the small craft on the river escaped the fury of the
storm, on account of in being low water.
Ahnoni, the person whom we stated to
have been in custody for forging the will of a man
who is now living, and selling not his stock, to the
amount of 3001. was, on Thursday, folly commuted
'lv trial, at the Office in Marlborough-street. Mr.
Pat DDI e, the person who was represented by the Psi-
toner as being dead, proved the fads of his being
personally known to the Prisoner, and of his having
3001. in the Bark ; and the sale of the stock was
proved by the Broker who sold for the Prisoners.
The woman, who was taken as an accomplice, was
discharged.
A motion for a new trial will b• made in the en.
suing Term, in • cause of little importance to the
Public, eicept on the groimil on which a new trial
is to be made. It was tried in the last Term by a
Nperiel Jere, when a srerditt• was given (or the Dc.
(endant. It has since been discovered, that one of

as not to hc.tt another person ilia& to common con-
versation when sitting next hint. his therefore
