"THE GREAT UNPAID" TYRANNY.

IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.—EXTRAORDINARY PRO-
CEEDING.—Mrs. Catherine Hall, innkeeper, of Ins
goldsby, was summoned before the Spittlegate (Grant-
ham) Bench of Magistrates on Friday last, on the
information of a servant of the Bev. Jas. Hildyard,
Rector of that parish, to answer a charge of allowing
disorderly conduct in her house at noon on the Ist inst.
The latter gentleman declined to sit on the case, and
appeared as witness in support of the information. The
Rev. Gentleman stated that it had been usual on the
occasion of lagoldsby feast to keep the festival on the
Monday and Tuesday; that he had allowed all parties
to do so this year, but finding on riding through the
village on Wednesday morning that the dancing
booths and stalls were not removed, he ordered them
to pack up and quit the village forthwith. On proceed.
ing past defendant's house he heard singing, and noises
as of persona stamping with their feet and beating with
their hands on the table, &c. Entering the house he
found fifteen or sixteen persons, who appeared to be
drunk and very noisy and disorderly. It was then ten
minutes past twelve at noon, and he directed defendant
to cl-ar her house, informing her that if she did so im-
mediately he would not issue a summons against her;
but as it was two hours before the house was meared, he
caused a summons to be served upon her by William
Palmer, the. constable. The latter stated that ho
acco:npsnied Mr. H. to the house ; that there
were one or two persons tipsy, and that there
were five or six persons—perhaps there might
be six or seven—present. Mrs. Hall said she
had been an innkeeper for more than twenty years, and
that was the first time an information bad been laid
against her house; that the only person making a noise
or singing was a fiddler whom Mr. H. had driven from
the dancing booth, and who bad taken refuge there; that
she was not aware her licence required h, r to close her
house in the middle of the day; that the reason she
had not obeyed in clearing it was because her company
was respectable, no labouring men being among them
and also because Mr. Houghton, a most respectable
farmer, of Keisby, who seldom omitted calling on a
Wednesday morning to read Bell's Weekly Messenger,
had entered the house just previous to Mr. H.
calling, and said he had came to spend a quiet half
hour and would not be interrupted by Mr. Hild-
yard or any other person. Mrs. Hall added that
Mr. Houghton was present in court to answer
for himselt, and also us to the character and respecta-
bility of herself and her house. Their Worships said
they did not deem it necessary to call Mr. Houghton:
she had committed an offence against the terms of her
licence, but they would not this time convict. Defen-
dant was therefore reprimanded, and ordered to pay
les. ad. costs !—[We hive received three communica-
tions relative to tnis strange proceeding against a woman
who is said to bear a character of the highest respecta-
bility—one of them expressing a hope that the matter
will not be allowed to drop without further inquiry, and
auother stating that the presiding magistrates (Messrs.
Otley, Turner, and Brown) considered the case so paltry
that they at once dismissed it; if the latter assertion
be correct, on what ground was Mrs. Hall called upon to
pay costs?]—Stamford Mercury.

COAST GUARD STATION.--011 Tuesday last a general
inspection of the coast guard of this district took place,
at two P.M. The crews mustered at Seasalter, and went
through the musket exercise, firing blank cartridge,
forming into squares, marching, and countermarching;
they then commenced ball practice at a target, and an
eiaemy would have stood but a miserable chance with
them;
so certain was their aim, that the target was al-
most instantly destroyed. Cutlass exercise followed,
and then the great gun practice, which competent per-
sons pronounced beautiful, the target being struck nearly
every fire. The men bore a very steady appearance on
the field, and well merited the praise bestowed on them
by the comptroller-general. The afternoon was de-
lightful, and a numerous and well-dressed company gave
the field a gay appearance. Fortunateltewhole
passed off without any material accident.—Canterbury
Journal.

The trade during the past month has presented 1?tell

The supply of sea-borne coals has been on the whole I!

the expectation of higher rates than those quoted, but le
the increased quantity of inland sorts, and the circle
stance that throughout the month the market has beiev
