Magistrate, it having been stated by an'odicer that
both the coachmen had aced wrong.

both committed for further examination. .

mencement, to prevent the obtrusion of those light-
fingered amateurs who so generally resort to public
auetions, for the purpose of collecting curiosities,
either from the moveables on sale, or the pockets
of the company. The person in question contrived

nized. A Noble Visitant, hoWever (Lord MouNT-
