Ratter, aged 22, were cliartt with having rCbbed
Thomason, on the Kiag,ls tligh*ny, at Al anchestcr, ofa pocket,

• It appeared that Thomason, the proseeator, had absconded

snw Heap again to custody that night. They had walked b,

James Andrews saw Heap in the morning after in custody.
He told Heap that thee had been robbing a man in the Pipe
entry. Heap said l:e had been with none but a girl. He
saw him again next day. He said to witness, Mr. Derby-
shire being present, " I should have told about the robbery
'--hat morning, only the watchman used were so roughly."
Being asked where lie had seen the old ma first, he said he
was sitting tip In some rood near Mill's-lane, and asked to be
put on the way to Pendleton. They agreed, P. Hardy and
Bona,' got hold of him us' the arms, lie and Jacob Butler fol-
lowed behind ; when they got to an entry, in Hanover.street,
Hardy and Bullet wanted to take him tip the entry, bat the
old man would hot go. They took him down into the Pipe

them if they did rob him, he would tell of them. He

ThACJEEKAY v. 811/.IItALL.
Mr. Barlett said, in the case, the plaintiff was an' officer and a
gentleman. He lived in Ashton-under-Line. He happened on ifui
20th; of May to hare gone Into the Crown inn there. when the defen-
dant treated him in • manner which has oer.tsioned this action. It
is-properly suggested to me that he could not have been in u temp r
terquarrel. for he had been returning from a zharity concert, where
his soul had been soothed to soft sounds, and melted to deeds of &a-
rfty. Mr. Bramall thought proper'w say to Mr. Wyche. in allusion
0 Mr. Thackear. " I don't care a d—n fo, you or your bully." An
officer who would not resent language like the was not worthy atlas
regimentals. Mt. Thackcray did resent it. Starting as he did taste
in a cturt of justice, he could not approve of a challenge to anyfer-
soma combat. ilut the defendunewould hare no challenge but a
battle of haidicuffs. It Certainly was-no imputation upon the hon,ue
or courage of his client that. inferior in size and strength as he was,
he destined this contest. The defendant said that he assisted in par.'
ing the plaintiff's half.pay: Not reelly. without entering intriary
politicit questiina. the officers of oar army appeared to have dor e•
their duty; and no officer of spir!t c0u.1,1 bear such language. The

Joel Hawkhcre came into the Crown inn. in Ashton-tinder-4.1nel
on the 49th of May, together with Shaelieray, a half•pq officer in
the army. The landlord was writing while Mr. Bramall was saying.
as if Merging, " a fair trotting match." Mr. Wyche was setting'
with them. Mr. Thackeray sat beside Wyche, and began a whit.
p ring. eenve:sation. Mr, Wyche refused to sign the paper. Mr.
eiramall addressed him :--e" you are ad--d puppy ;.1,11 knock your
head and your butty's together." He did not know what busty
meant. Mr. Thsckeray asked if he meant Mtn, and called for an
explanation, which Mr. Braman refused, but only by doing what bb
had saki (knocking their heads together.) Mr. Thackeray Said,
" Give me lease' to tell you, you are a (1-4 impertinent puppy."
After reciprocal termhof abloe, Mr. Bramall said, " What see you ?
You are only a half pay officer, and 1 assist in paying you !" and he
thvestenol to knock him dawn, if hb did not expiala what he had
said; he then knocked his hat off. Hard lanirtange was again re-
turned on both sides. The plaintiff again cled him an impertinent
puppy, and said, if he could swallow that he nriiiit swallow any
thing. The defendant thtesitened to put him out of the room, and
reared him up sgainet the tad'. The Defendant is stout and niucii
the stronger Iran. lie tore the plaintiff's shirt. 'Vie plaintiff com-
phdned that he bad been throttled.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Topping, he said it was ahnot

dant was worse. nutty meant a kind of assistant. " Monkey, puppy,
poltroon," were said and exchanged. He could not say its to
"blackguard." They did r.ot sit above an hour and a-half. It was
all ale they drank.
Air. 'Topping, in Me address to the jury, said, that no Court Cr
jury wee ever insulted by a canse so frivolous, so perfectly ridicu-
lous. He clied upon them to discourage such applications for da-
mages, by giving their verdict for the defendant, or at host by give
ing one farthing damages. Whether this gentleman was is the array
or not, he knew not: it was not in proof before them.
Verdict for the plaintiff: Damages One Farthing--Costs On e

THIRD POLICE REPORT.

We extract the following particulars from the evidence an-
nexed to the above Report:—
The Rev. Mr. Ford,—" (i•enerally speaking, the prisoners
cwutidrr transportation a benefit more then a punishment:
the young ones are delighted with it, and Unsold ones are re-
joiced at the expectation of meeting their old acquaintance."
Mrs. Elizabeth }\y, in her evidence, stated that several
persons, husbands in anxiety to follow their wives, mad rice
Bata, were induced to commit crimes. She instanced one
woman who lately sublimed death, viz. Charlotte Newman,
who was actuated by a desire to follow her husband to Bo-
tany Bay, who committed the same offence; but it was
thought proper to make an example of her, and she was exe
cuted. _

Mr, Tienjamin Baker' in Ms evidence respecting forgery,
says, there is a material difference of feeling among the pri.
sowers with regard to forging Banknotes and that of uttering
theml; those who utter forged notes thinking themselves of-
fenders in the lesser degree; and in genet 41 ‘i ituess finds they
hive been characters who have been drawn into the commis.

are principally youth. .One of the young Ries now under or-
ders for execution told witness, that the person who seduced
him was in the habit of passing at least 4410 notes a week, and
that lie was the person .who supplied Finuey, Spicer, and
Kelley, witb notes to a considerable amount.
Mr. Newman, late keeper of Newgste, speaking of the ef.l
i feet of capital punishment, says, twenty is the greatest nuns-1
tier lie ever knew suffer at once. .There were twenty .one
intended for cite. day, but only nineteen were executed
There were two execatians following each other—one nine.

GUILHALL.
A boot closer, named titaugDrutnii, WilA has a wife and six
children, was charged by a bout maker, of Skintier.street,
named Miller, with having detained work int p tope' ly. The
act of Parliament directs, that work given to tltuse employed
by boot makers shall he given in within eight days. The
work alluded to was detained dare months. The excuse
of the.drfenditut was, that sickness prevented punctuality.
The penalty affixed to thr violation at the act is, from one
to three mouths' imprisonment.
Mr. Miller said, he thought it his ditty, for the sake of the
public, to punish the defendant, and therefore resisted the
arguments, and, in fact, the entreaties of Alderman Heygate,
who represented, in the most feelinz manner, the ivories
likely to ariqe from this indulgence. .Alderman Hey gate then
mentioned, that, the case demanded the attendance of two
magistrates, and it was therefore brought before him and
Alderman Waithman.
Mr. Miller persisted for a long time in Ws intention of
punishing the defendant, and added to his farmer reasons that
the defendant's object was to embezzle the property.
The Magistrates were aro prised at this new charge, but
they soon observed that Mr. Miller, if pushed to no extre•
mity, would not insist upon what was so remote from his first
view of the subject.
Alderman Hey-gate again told Mr. Miller to consider that
the defendant bad a family who were solely dependent upuir
_

Alderman Waithinan said, the defeadant had to rely upon
the mercy of his accuser, for the act was imperative. He
begged that the complainant would consider whether the
present situation of the defendant. would not prevent any rev
petitions of the conduct objected World whether the public
would not think the matter sufficiently pushed to secure the
future good conds:ct of those who were employed to stork at
that trade.

At length Mr. Miller said he would accept of an apology
fro:u the defendant, whose wife was pleading hard for him,
with all the officers and listeners about the sice, with a
wretched looking child in her arms.
A woman, named Jones, complained against a broker,
named Swaine, fur having charged more than,was allowed
by Act of Parliament, upoa.levying a distress upou.„hrc
goods.
The charge made by the hroker was 1L45.64., anti that
allowed by the Act amounted to no more than
was decided against the broker.

hog a body of tailors, caked the " Blue Last Society," of va

means of altering the declarations, upon date, of the illness,,

Mr. Dew followed and seized her. The prisoner being asked
if she hail any defence to make, replied extil ingly, with a
