UXBRIDGE PETTY SESSIONS.

BRAWLING IN CHuacx.—Yesterday, Thomas Moore,
residing at Drayton, was brought before R. H. Coors and
J. J. CLARK, Esqs., the Sitting Magistrates, by Daryill,
the Uxbridge constable, charged under the following cir-
cumstances

Mr. Benham, Churchwarden of Uxbridge, stated that
on Sunday noon, just as the sacrament was being adminis-
tered at the church of that town, the whole congregation
was disturbed by a loud noise, and vociferous cries proceed-
ing from the lower end of the middle aisle. He instantly
proceeded to the spot, when he found that the prisoner,
being in a state of great intoxication, had rolled into the
church, and on endeavouring to sit down on one of the
seats had fallen backwards on the floor, where he was
lying, invoking with loud imprecations the aid of his Sa-
tanic Majesty to raise him up again. Every endeavour was
made to get him quietly out of the church, the service being
stopped all the time, but the exertions being unavailing,
Darvill was sent for, who eventually succeeded in lodging

into in the cage.
The BENCH enquired whether it was the intention of
the parochial authorities to press the charge of creating a
disturbance in the church against him, as they should in
that case send it to the Sessions. _ _ _

Mr. Benham replied that he did not wish to punish him
severely, the prisoner having, while in the cage, made a des-
perate attempt on his life, which was fortunately discovered
by a man, who on passing the cage, and hearing groans,
knocked at the door, and inquired if any person was inside.
Not receiving any answer he went to the window to look in,
when he saw that a rope was fastened round one of the bars.
He instantly, with a knife, cut it, and ran to the house of
Darvill, who, on proceeding to the cage, found the prisoner
on the floor apparently dead, having attempted to hang him-
self. Mr. Bullock, a surgeon, was immediately sent for,
who, on his arrival, opened the jugular vein, when in about
an hour he recovered. He was then conveyed to the Jolly
Ostlers' public-house and placed in a hot bed, and two per-
sons sat up with him during the night.
The prisoner, who still appeared very weak, pleaded his
extreme intoxication as an excuse for his conduct.
The BENCH said that was no extenuation, but rather an
aggravation. As, however, he had suffered much, and the
churchwarden was inclined to forego the more serious part
of the charge, they should only fine him :is. for being drunk,
on the conditio❑ that he paid all the expenses which had
been incurred, which promising to do, he was discharged.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1837.

MAGA.ZINES,

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
The first of the promised series of articles on Turk-
ish and Persian poetry is most welcome. No subject
could be selected likely to gratify a greater number of
readers. But the regular continuance of articles com-
menced in the " Dublin University Magazine," is what
we cannot calculate upon for any three months conse-
cutively. We are confident that this want of regula-
rity greatly restricts its circulation in England and
Scotland. " Ellen Montgomery" is a simple, affect-
ing, fire-side story, which addresses itself to the feel-
ings and sympathies of the young and innocent. The
reviews of the " Literary Remains of Coleridge," and
" Lockhart's Life of Scott," are creditable to the judg-
ment and candour of their respective writers—if indeed
they be not the production of the same pen. The
" Provisional Character of Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,"
is a tissue of impudent misrepresentation, which cannot
in the slightest degree affect the deserved political in-
fluence of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.
The other articles are either reviews of works long
since noticed in The Sun, or political diatribes on the
subject of the late general election.

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.
There are two excellent articles in " Alexander's
India and Colonial Magazine" for this month—" The
Transportation System," and the " Felonry of New
South Wales." Both subjects are important, and both
are very sensibly and ably discussed. An article on
" Steam Navigation to India" is likewise deserving
of attention.

TATTERSALL' S—YzinzilDi r.

Business was uncommonly dull until between five and six
o'clock, when the arrival of two or three " influentials" gave
a little animation to it. Neither Cardinal Puff, Mango, The
Doctor, nor Emprise vary from the prices quoted last week ;
but Henriade has advanced two or three points. We did not
see a single bet against him outright, although two or three
parties offered to take Bto 1. Slashing Harry was backed in
the same show of spirit at 11 to 1, and some small sums were
laid out on The Prime Warden and Blakey Topping at the
odds set against their names. The Doctor was not mentioned
at a price. Epirus and Robin Hood colt gave way ? point or
two, and Mahometan was so little in favour that Blakey Top-
ping was backed against him at evens. Closing prices :

sion, that opinion was not correct. The Government had
persevered to promote education, and to apply to it
the sums voted by Parliament, and had also been much as-
sisted by the several Societies.
Lord BROUGHAM explained that he had not reflected
on the Government, and that his complaint applied only to
the conduct of the House of Assembly.
MUNICIPAL DECLARATION BILL.

The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition in
favour of the Municipal Corporations Declaration Repeal
Act, and praying for the insertion of a clause, ex-
tending the relief given by this Bill to the Jews.
The object of the petition was that a clause might be intro-
duced in the Bill to confer upon persons of the Jewish per-
suasion the same privileges as were enjoyed by the Quakers
and Nloravians. _ _

The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted the House that
her Majesty had commanded a Commission to be issued under
the Great Seal, appointing Lord Shaftesbury and Lord Den-
man Deputy Speakers of the House of Lords, in the absence
of the Lord Chancellor.

The Commissions were then read at length by the Clerk at
he Table.

On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the name
of Earl Radnor was added to the Committee on the Bill for
the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—DEc. 11.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock.
Colonel SIBT HO RP said that he would take that oppor-
tunity of correcting a statement supposed to have been made
by him, which was reported in one of the newspapers
of Saturday. It was his wish that whatever fell from him,
however humble or unworthy it might be, should go forth to
the world with accuracy and truth. The statement to which
he alluded was in the Globe of Saturday last ; and according
to the representations of that Paper, he was made to state
that the son of a Noble Duke (the Marquis of Granby), was
upon the Pension List. Now, so far from his making
any such assertion, it would be in the recollection of the House
that he had never in the slightest degree mentioned the name
of the Duke of Rutland. He had certainly mentioned the
names of one or two Noble Lords, but he had never intro-
duced that of the Noble Duke.—( Cheers.) He begged
therefore to saythat.the.report_was totally without foundation.

ANSWER OF HIS MAJESTY.

" GENTLEMRN—Your appearance here at the present mo-
ment is a guarantee of your sentiments ; I have enter-
tained as little doubt of their sincerity as of the loyal
attachment of the University of Gottingen. The more
disagreeably, however, was I surprised at finding prin-
ciples expressed by seven professors of tha University in a
memorial lately received by the Curatorium, by which not
only untenable, erroneous notions according to which these
professors would consider themselves in some measure as a
third independent power in the State, with the socation to
criticise the acts of the Sovereign, and even, according to
circumstances, refuse to recognise them, but bad inten-
tions, would be clearly manifested, if it could be assumed that
the memorial presented by these seven professors to the
Curatorium, which appeared in public journals, namely, the
French journals, before it reached the Curatorium, had been
published by themselves. The necessary proceedings against
those professors on this account will be immediately insti-
tuted. I must deeply regret that these steps of the pro.
fessors may easily throw an unfavourable light on the Uni-
versity of Gottingen, or lead to consequences prejudicial to
it. I must the more regret this as it is my earnest desire to
maintain the ancient reputation of the University, where I
spent such happy years in my youth ; but you, gentlemen,
will yourselves be sensible that I cannot leave men who
have expressed such opinions as those professors to inculcate
those principles which they have advanced into the minds of
youth. lat least, as a father, would never send my son to a
university whose there are such professor s. However, I re-
joice that, as far as I know, there is only one native Ha-
noverian among these seven professors, who, as foreigners, can
have no knowledge of what the welfare of the country re-
quires, nor can have the same love for our country as native
Hanoverians.

" I have also, in the sentiments which you, gentlemen, ex-
press a welcome pledge that the infatuation of smite can have
no bad effect on the good spirit of the venerable Georgia Au-
gusta."—Hanover Gazette, Dec. 7.
London, England, 1837-12-12

METCALF V. JONES.

The plaintiff in this case having taken from the defendant
the house No. 28, Gracechurch-street, in the early part of
last year on lease, with a premium or fine of 1501., and at a
rent of 1001. a-year, payable quarterly; fitted it up as an
eating-house, but as the first two quarters' rent was not paid,
the landlord (Jones), towards the end of the third quarter, put in
a distress, and sold and caused to be removed from the premises
the plaintiff's furniture, together with the plants and fixtures.
It was for the injury sustained by the defendant's removal of
the plant and fixtures the present action was brought.
After the case had been gone into for some time, a disposi-
tion to settle it having appeared on both sides, a long conTer-
sation took place between the Chief Justice and the Counsel
on both sides, in the course of which Mr. Serjeant BOMPAS
said, that although his client was entitled to a verdict for
the amount of premium of which he was deprived by the
auinous way in which the defendant had dealt with his pro-
perty, and also for the profit of 20 per cent. upon his outlay,
which he would have derived during the remainder of his
term from the subletting of the premises, as be had fitted it
up ; but he was willing to leave the amount of the verdict to
the arbitration of the Court, if his Lordship would be so kind
as to tte,:t as referee, whereby expense would be saved to the
,
party paying tne costs.
At the suggestion of his Lordship a verdict was taken by
consent in 1001. damages, subject to an order of the Court,
that the damages, together with the costs, are to be paid upon
the plaintiff's surrendering the lease and premises at Christmas
next.

CANADA.

Mr. LEADER begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secre-
tary for the Home Department a question relating to Canada.
He begged to know whether Lord Gosford was coming home,
and whether he had resigned or had been recalled, and whe-
ther any successor had been appointed, and who he was?—
( A laugh.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL.—Lord Gosford had for some
time past requested leave to resign, and an order had been
sent out from the Government stating that he might be sent
home. The Government of that Colony consequently de-
volved upon Sir John Colborne, and no successor had yet been
appointed.
Mr. LEADER begged to ask whether any proclamations
had been issued against public meetings in Lowcr Canada?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL.—There have been proclama-
tions regarding infringements of the law generally—(a laugh)
—but not against public meetings specifically.
Mr. YOUNG presented a petition from Teignmouth. against
certain clauses in the Fisliguard_Harbour

CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS,
Mr. O'CONNELL had obtained leave to bring in a Bill
a short time since to amend the laws relating to controverted
elections. He did not intend to have that Bill clash with
another which had been introduced for the same object ; but
he now found that the second reading of that Bill had been
pogtponed to such a period that there would be few opportu-
nities to discuss it, and he wished to set himself right with the
House by stating that it was his intention on the first day
after the recess to proceed with his Bill. The Hon. and
Learned Member then gave notice that immediately after
the recess he would bring forward a Bill for abolishing the
religious tests administered as a qualification to office.

In answer to a question put by an HON. MEMBER, whose
name was not known,
Lord MORPETH said, the Government in Ireland had
received a memorial complaining of a serious riot at
Waterford, in consequence of which the Protestant
service was alleged to have been suspended, and the
clergyman driven from the pulpit. It was further alleged that

escaped unhurt. The boy on the c.th:r horse was thrown, and
dragged to some distance on the ground with one of his feet in

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Old Queen's
Head tavern, Lower-rold, Islington, on the body of Charlotte
Ayton, aged 18, an interesting girl, who drowned herself in
the New River, under the following circumstances:—Robert
Cane, N, No. 273, on Friday forenoon was on duty in Cole-
brook-row, Islington, when he discovered the body of the de- I
ceased lying at the bottom of the New River. Witness ob-
tained the drags, and the unfortunate young girl, was taken
out. She was quite dead and stiff, but did not appear to have
been in the water any length of time. Mrs. Harriet Miller,
of No. 19, Soley-place, Pentonville, deposed that the de-
ceased had been in her service as nursery-maid for six weeks
before her melancholy death. On Wednesday last she (de-
ceased) absconded from her situation, and witness never saw
her again. By the Jury—The deceased was a very discreet
girl, but incompetent to her duties, and on that account I had
given her warning to quit. She had no male followers whilst
with me. By the Coroner—The deceased was a girl of very
sensitive feelings, and observed that when she left me she
would not go home to be a burthen to her relations. I never
observed that her mind was affected. I cannot assign any
cause for her destroying herself.—Verdict, " Temporary de-
rangement."

NEW COURT.

( Before Sir C. MARSHALL and the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Francis Mitchell was convicted of having, on the 4th of
this month, stolen from Mr. Mackintosh, the conductor of the
Great Western Railway, at Ealing, some pieces of wood, value
7s. The prisoner (who had an excellent character from his
landlord), said he only took the wood to light his fire. The jury
recommended him to mercy ; and the COMMON SERGEANT
said he was inclined to let him off with a light punishment,
but robberies of this kind were so frequent, the premises of

to make an example.
CONSPIRACY.-Jacob Flesh, J. Jackson, and Julius Hero-
hoberg, were indicted for conspiring to obtain from George
Whitbread a sextant, value 181.
The case was likely to occupy the whole day.

WEST KENT.

BOROUGH OF CHATHAM.—On Tuesday the Revising
Barristers resumed their sittings. A case which had been
made the subject of much conversation, and which created
much interest, was called on. It was an objection, on the
part of the Liberals, to the vote of the Rev. Dr. Irving,
who claimed in respect of the church and church-yard, he
being rated to the poor.
The Rev. Mr. Edward's evidence was taken, as well as
that of the collector of the rates.

The professional gentleman who appeared for the Tories
then rose. Mr. Holmes, contra, then followed ; after which
The REVISING BARRISTERS gave their decision.
Mr. RICHMOND said be thought that the question of
ownership had not been made out, or had that of occu-
pancy, as required by the Act; and with regard to its rate-
ability, according to the 27th section of the Reform Act,
the building was not one of that description which the
Legislature contemplated. The edifice is one of a superior
description, and it was not mentioned, and it surely never
could have been intended, to first name an inferior class,
and then add asuperior class at the foot.
Mr. BULLOCK said it was clear there was no occupation
under the meaning of house, warehouse, shop, or other
building, contemplated in the 27th section of the Act. He
most fully concurred in the view taken of the question by his
Learned Friend.

The objection was allowed.
The result of the Chatham list stands thus :
Tory objections, 49 ; sustained, 27 ; claims 16 ; allowed,
10. Liberal objections, 41 ; sustained, 38 ; claims, 27 ;
allowed, 21.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, THURSDAY•

(Continued from The SEM of yesterday.)
A Mr. Northern applied for a music license for th.:
White Hart, Kingsland-road. 'The objection was that his
room was too small, being only 21 feet by 13.
Sir CHARLES FORBES said that afforded plenty of room
to dance a good highland fling—(A laugh)—though, per-
haps, not room enough for waltzes and gallopades, which,
in his opinion, however fashionable, might be very indecorous.
'The license was refused.

On a license being applied for for the Duke of Sussex,
Haggerstone,. it was stated that the parties who had signed
the petition were only 101. householders.
Sir CHARLES FORBES—WeII, they are qualified to vote
for representatives under the Reform Act, and surely they
may petition for a music license.—(Hear.) Let us carry
out the provisions of the Reform Bill.—(Roars of laughter.)
1, for the first time in my life, will vote in favour of the
ten-pounders.—(Renewed laughter.)
The license was refused.
THE ROYAL KENT THEATRE.—Mr. Adolphus pre-
sented a petition from Thomas Wetherell for a music li-
cense for the Royal Kent Theatre, Kensington.
The application was supported by a petition signed by
Lord Holland, as Lord of the Manor, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly,
the Barrister, and several other respectable persons.
The Court granted the application.
Saveral other cases were disposed of, and the Court thee
adjourned.
London, England, 1837-10-20

have received orders for provisions from the workhouse ;
but no more than 103 of these orders have been used.
" ' When the 500 cases were relieved, the paupers took
the provisions home daily : no work was exacted in return :
the amount of relief now is quite as liberal to each case as
it was then ; I think even more so. There is much less
waste now, and it is more beneficial to the several members
of the family, inasmuch as now each person is sufficiently
fed : formerly the provisions were often sold by the men
for drink, whilst the wives and children suffered from
starvation.
" The work which they have performed must have
been performed by other labourers for the parish, had they
not been set to do it : and the wages paid such labourers
would have exceeded the cost of the maintenance of these
paupers. The men have been employed in the garden and
fields belonging to the workhouse, and the women in the
household work.'

" Stoke upon-Trent being the first manufacturing town
in which the Poor-law Amendment Act has been carried
into operation by a Board of Guardians, and the strike
being the most extensive which has yet affected the opera-
tions under the new law, it may be satisfactory if we sub-
mit to your Lordship the more general statement of its
effects, set forth in an address signed by the Guardians
and the chief traders of the town. They state, that
although this Act has only been in operation for little
more than six months, the affairs of the parish have been
brought into a state of order long desired, but hitherto un-
known ; the business has been conducted with becoming
regularity—the officers, for the first time responsible, atten-
tive to their duties—the rates better collected—the poor-
house reformed, and made a place of instruction, of indus-
try, and of reformation—the out-door poor examined in
detail—impositions detected—and the cases of real distress
relieved, partly in money and partly in bread. Thus an
improved system of management has been brought about
with little difficulty, advantageous contracts made, the
moneys duly paid into the bank, the tradesmen's accounts
promptly discharged, a considerable amount of old debts
paid off ; and all this with two rates up to this date ;
whereas, at the corresponding period of last year, the fourth
was in a train of collection. Such results have given a new
and pleasing aspect to the affairs of the parish, and we only
discharge a duty in saying, that we are indebted to the
Poor Law Amendment Act for.the principal part of these
advantages."

ceived, together with advices from Madrid of the 10th

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The comedy of The Provoked Husband was last night
performed. It was, for the most part, strongly cast, and
was received as such a production, when even moderately
well supported, must always be received,. with great appro-
bation. Mr. Macready, as Lord Townly, has improved
much. He dresses the character better than he was wont
to do, and his manner has more of the ease of the beau
monde than it formerly possessed. He was always excellent
in the delivery of the text, especially in the fine and touch-
ing separation scene, and _never more so than last night.
Lady Townly was personated by Miss H. Faucit mode-
rately well. She cannot assume that exuberant buoyancy
of spirit by which the careless woman of fashion is distin-
guished. Mr. Bartley, as Sir Francis Wronghead, placed
the pompous blundering of the country Member of Parlia-
ment in a broadly ridiculous light. His hopeful offspring,
Squire Richard, and Miss Jenny, were rather caricatured
by Mr Meadows and Miss Taylor. Mrs. W. Clifford's
Lady Wronghead is the best we have seen for many years.
It was humorously vulgar, without any taint of extrava-
gance. The comedy was followed by a new piece, entitled,
the Afrancesado ; or, Secrecy and Truth, which the bill
denominated " a melo-dramatic. romance." We, however,
are much puzzled to discover to whatorder of, dramatic
architecture it belongs. It is, in our opinion, a sort of bas-
tard composite, where we find tragedy, comedy, farce, and
opera jumbled together. This piece occupied two hours.
The performance was suffered to proceed with a patience
truly exemplary until nearly the close of the second act,
when a storm of hisses plainly spoke the feelings of the un-
biassed part of the audience.

Friday evening, about seven, a few hours before the
lunar eclipse began, the tide rose so suddenly in the river
Parrett, between the bridge and basin, that seven or eight
heavily laien barges, which were about to enter the canal
for this town, were driven from their moorings, and, being
forced against each other, were much damaged ; one, we
are sorry to hear, belonging to Messrs. Stuckey and Co.,
with a valuable cargo on board, was driven underneath
another boat, and icamediately sunk. Such ... sudden and
boisterous influx of the tide has not been before known in
that river for the last 30 years.—Taunion Courier.

Reformers of the age for the intrepid consistency with
which he has throughout a long and bustling career
advocated the cause of freedom ; and thus honourably
distinguished, may safely laugh to scorn the drivelling
abuse of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and a whole herd
of such " small deer."

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS

OCT. 18.—The average prices of Wheat and Rye in the
second week of October, were—Wheat, 17f. 18c. ; Rye,
11f. 12c. per hectolitre; import duties, 37f. 50c., and 21f.
50c. per 1,000 killogrammes.
The Commerce Beige announces in its last number, that
a project of law for facilitating the importation of foreign
coals, has just been discussed in the Council of Ministers,
and that it will be immediately presented to the Chambers.
We (the Moniteur Beige) are authorised to declare that
this statement is false. _ _

From the summary of the decimal tables of the popula-
tion returns from 1823 to 1832, made to the tribunal of
Brussels, it appears that in the communes of the arondisse-
ment, the population of which is 193,939 inhabitants,
there were 61,949 births, 44,934 deaths, and 26,686 mar-
riages—the excess of births being ;7,015. In two com-
munes only, Ixelles and Oilvoede, the deaths exceeded the
births, which is accounted for by there being a house of
correction in each of them. There were to each marriage
two births and a fraction. This proportion is nearly the
same for all the other communes ; several had three births
to a marriage, two had four, and four had but one birth and
a fraction to a marriage.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are moderate arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week,
and a middling supply of Flour. The Wheat trade for good
parcels is firm at the terms of Monday, but other quotations
still remain dull. Barley, Beans, and Pease continue to sell
heavily, at former rates. Oats are unaltered from the terms
of Monday. The Flour trade continues slack, and last quo-
tations for ship parcels are hardly supported.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Mr. Wm. Smith, surgeon, of 21, Dorset-
street, Portman-square, appeared before Mr. SHUTT to show
cause why he boxed the ears of James Wrist, a foot-boy in
the service of a gentleman named Stevel3s, residing in the
same house.

The complainant having a turn for music, was constantly
humming and dancing some favourite jig, much to the an-
noyance of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who had a mortal antipa-
thy to such noisy and boisterous mirth. On being remon-
strated with by the latter, he became extremely impertinent,
and instead of desisting struck up ", Pray Goody please to
moderate the rancour of your tongue," to the great vexa-
tion of the lady. On this coming to the ears of Mr. Smith
he resolved to bear it no longer, and made up his mind to
present the complainant with a " musical box" for his
trouble the next time he favoured them with a tune. An
opportunity of this kind presented itself on Tuesday
evening, and while the complainant was on the stairs, sing-
ing his favourite song of " Jim Crow," having just finished
the words " Turn about, wheel about, do just so," Mr.
Smith suddenly came upon him, and gave him such a box
on the ear as made him wheel about and turn about to quite
a different tune. The complainant informed his master, but
instead of obtaining any pity he was told that it served him
right. _ _

Mr. SHUTT being of the same opinion discharged the
warrant on the payment of one shilling.
SINGULAR DELUSION.—A respectable-looking man, who
gave his name Brown, was charged as follows :—The un-
fortunate man, whose mind has been wandering for some
time past, among other delusions fancied that he had been
challenged to fight a duel at Chalk Farm, and he accord-
ingly repaired thither on the previous evening, with a
large loaded pistol, to meet his imaginary antagonist. The

prisoner, having waited for some time to no purpose, began
to grow impatient, and at length by his strange conduct at-
tracted the attention of a constable, who secured him. He
was delivered up to the care of his friends.

Mr. David Wernyss Jobson was yesterday brought before
Mr. CONANT and Mr. CHAMBERS for re-examination,
charge with having violently assaulted Mr. Stocken, a trades-
man in Regent-street.
The defence of Mr. Jobson was, that he was first as-
saulted—a statement which Mr. Stocken positively con-
tradicted.

The Magistrates would let a Jury decide on the matter,
by requiring the defendant to find bail to appear at the en-
suing sessions.
Bail was procured, and Mr. Jobson was liberated.

LAMBETH- STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Fitzgerald, the present occupier of an un-
licensed theatre in the Commercial-road, called by some the
New Brunswick, and by others the New Royalty, attended
before Messrs. COMBES and HALSWELL, at the request of
the former Magistrate, in consequence- of a complaint made
at this office on Tuesday last by Mr. ex-Sheriff Ward that
the place was an intolerable nuisance.
Mr. Fitzgerald, after reading over the report from a
Morning Paper of the charge alleged against him by Mr.
Ward, denied in the most positive manner that any nui-
sance whatever had been caused by his theatre, and said
that if necessary he would prove the fact by many re-
spectable tradesmen in the neighbourhood. On the con-
trary, he had for some considerable time past, by raising
the prices of admission to those of the Garrick and Pavi-
lion, and refusing the admission altogether of disreputable
characters, made the house respectable, and this he had
done principally in the hope of being able to obtain a
license at the Quarter Sessions on the last licensing day.
Several of the neighbours participated in this hope also,
and were as much disappointed as himself at the refusal ;
but he attributed his disappointment then, as well as his
annoyance now, solely to Mr. Ward. He (Mr. Fitzge-
rald) would wish to have the opinion and decision of the
Bench, and if they were against him he must of course bow
them, and close the house.
Mr. COMBES would ask Mr. Fitzgerald if he had not
kept the house open without a license, and therefore in vio-
lation of the law ?—Mr. Fitzgerald admitted he had, but
said that others had done the same thing.

Mr. ComBES observed, that after Mr. Fitzgerald's own
admission that he acted in violation of the law, it was ridi-
culous to require his (Mr. Combes's) opinion on the subject.
Mr. Fitzgerald then withdrew.
