MANSION HOUSE.

THE ENORMOUS FORGERIES OP LEASES.—This after-
nooa Luther Yeates, kW of Tokenhouse-yard, was placed
at the bar, on remand, charged with forging a number of
leases purporting to be executed by the late Admiral Sir
John West.

Witnesses were examined to prove the signatures to the
fictitious leaves were forgeries.

Mr. Lewis said he now asked his lordship to commit the
prisoner for trial,' although they had only proceeded
against the prisoner for forging the eight leases before his
lordship, yet, from what had come to his knowledge, he
believed the prisoner had raised upwards of £lO,OOO by his
forgeries.

The Lord Mayor having given the prisoner the usual
caution, asked him what he had .to say in answer to the
charge ?

Prisoner—l've nothing to say, your lordship.
He was then fully committed to Newgate for trial.

BREAKING A JUDGE'S WINDOWS.—Sarah Scott, of 4,
White Hart-court, Windmill-street, described as a servant,
was charged with wilfully breaking windows at the house
of Mr, T. E. P. Lefroy, deputy-judge of the Bloomsbury
County Court.

Mr. Lefroy, who was accommodated with a seat upon
the magistrates' bench, detailed the particulars of the case.
A suit had been heard before him yesterday at the Blooms-
bury County Court, on which the present defendant, then
plaintiff, sued her late mistress for wages alleged to be due.
Upon the hearing of the case he decided-411a the plaintiff
had already received more money than she was entitled to,
and directed a verdict for the defendant. The present de-
fendant, when she heard the decision, became so noisy that
he was obliged to have her expelled. On the rising of the
Court he went home to his residence in Eccleston-place.
During the evening some one came to the door, and Mr.
Lefroy was informed that a woman wanted to see him.
He inquired what for, when he was informed
that it was respecting a decision arrived at at the
county court. He sent word that any application
on the subject of business must be made at the court and
not at his residence. She then became very noisy, when he
spoke to her and induced her to go away. In about ten
minutes afterwards he heard the smashing of glass, and the
defendant was pointed out to him as the person who had
hurled a stone through it.

Defendant said she had not had justice done her, and
certainly went to the house to say that she had laid out her
last penny for the hearing of the case, and was merely talk-
ing about her wrongs when she was charged with breaking
the window. A boy broke it to whom she told her story.
A witness was called who clearly proved that the mis-
chief had been done by the defendant, who afterwards ran
away.-

Air. Paynter animadverted in becoming language on de-
fendant's gross misconduct, and ordered her to pay the
amount of damage and 10s. fine.
She was committed for 14 days.

ANOTHERMUNCHAUSEN.—A romancing traveller
was talking of a church he had seen in Spain a mile and a
half long. "Bless me l" said Garrick; "how broad was
it F" "About ten yards," was the reply. ," This is, you'll
observe, gentlemen," said Garrick to the company, "not a
round lie, but differs from his other stories, which are gene-
rally as broad as they are long."

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER..--In ad-
dition to his acceptance of the invitation to visit Newcastle-
on-Tyne and Middlesborough in the second week of Octo-
ber, it is stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
also accept the hospitalities of Sunderland. The demon-
stration at Newcastle-on-Tyne is likely to be very success-
ful. The tickets for the great dinner to be given to the
right hon. gentleman in the Town-hall on the 7th October
are nearly all sold, and it is anticipated that when the time
approaches the accommodation will hardly be sufficient for
all the applicants. On the Bth October Mr. Rladstone will
accompany the River Tyne Commissioners, the Corpora-
tions of Newcastle, Gateshead, Tynemouth, and South
Shields, and the Chambers of Commerce of Newcastle and
Gateshead, Tynemouth, and South Shields, and other
public bodies, on a trip to the mouth of the Tyne. Addresses
will be presented by the corporate bodies of the harbour-
towns when the civic procession reaches the new piers in
the estuary of the Tyne ; and if the day is fine the demon-
stration promisee* to be one of the most effective that has
been witnessed on the waters of the noble river for many
years.

Six pieces of bronze cannon, no longer fit for ser-
vice, were brought from Vincennes yesterday and laid in
the court of the Palais Royal. It is said they are to be
melted down for a statue of the Emperor Napoleon 1., pro-
bably that which is to be erected in Corsica.
