reports that the result of the Fishery, as far as he could learn,
was as follows, viz., fifteen ships nearly full, seven or eight
with about 100 tons of oil, ten ships clean ; the rest with one,
two, and three fish. Captain Hogg left the Fishery seventeen

WEYIIILL FAIR, OcT. 13.

This grand annual Mart commenced with the
SHEEP FAIR on Monday last; more sheep were penned than
for many years past, and although they did not produce the
same high prices as at Appleshaw Fair, yet the best lots ave-
raged full 3s. per head advance on the value of last year.
The scarcity of NEW HOPS created much bustle; the quan-
tity pitched was not above a twentieth part of that of last year,
yet the number and anxiety of the purchasers were more than
could be expected ; the sellers remained so firm to their prices,
that few samples were drawn till Wednesday afternoon, when
a brisk sale commenced, and by dusk about half the ne-,v hops
Were sold.

The SUSSEX Hors were, as we anticipated last year, more
in demand than ever, the increased care taken in the drying
and picking, and the various changes in the plants, have been
completely successful, and removed the prejudices that formerly.
e':isted. Some very fine samples were produced, and com-
manded prices nearly equal with those of Bently, Alton, &c.
As under may be quoted the prices of Wednesday :

The HORSE FAIR displayed some very fine Hunters; strong,,;
blood, bony horses for carriage-work of every description, were
mach in demand, and but a very short supply. Some of the
Foreign Cart Horses made their appearance, but did not rric.et
any sale; the first-rate judges complain of their want of sym-
metry
and proportion, and the deficiency of strength in the
loins and hind quarters, for which the English breed is so
jusly celebrated. Cart Colts fully maintain the late high
prices, 150 guineas was offered for three two-year old Colts,.
but refused. For inferior Horses no sale whatt.wr.

A CAUTION TO THOSE WHO LET APARTMENTS.
—A man genteely attired, and apparently about
30 years of age, called a few days since in the
neighbourhood of Bermondsey to look at apart-
ments, and which he engaged, stating that he want-
ed them for a mother and sister who were coming
frnm the country, tendering at the same time a so-
vereign to receive back 10s. in silver (being for
earnest-money), giving his name Spence, with►
a reference to a respectable house in the High-
street, Borough, and promising to call again
in two or three days. On application to the
referee no such person was known, and the
sovereign which be left and received the 10s. in
change proved, on re-examination to be a counter-
feit and not worth 6d. It is suspected others in
the neighbourhood have been defrauded in a
similar manner.

The Society of Arts has rewarded an ingeni-
ous carpenter, named Gladwin, for the invention of a plane,
which he has constructed so as to answer all the purposes of the
jack plane, the panel plane, the smoothing plane, and the
moulding plane.
AN IMPUDENT TmEr.—Yesterday afternon,
a fellow entered the shop of Mr. Ronixsoar, writing-desk ma..
nufacturer, Dorrington-streets Clerkenwell, and deliberately
took a desk from out of the window and walked off with it
under his arm. He was pursued up the King's-road, when Ile
dropped the desk, but was taken and conveyed SP a place

DAILY
Extract, from the Morning Papers, Oct. 14, 18gb.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 12th inst. and the Etoile
of Wednesday reached us last night by Express.
They contain but little intelligence, and none
that is important. The news from Greece con-
sist chiefly of rumours, all however of a favour-
able nature. According to some, Ibrahim Pacha
was completely hemmed in at Tripolizza, suffer-
ing severely under the want of provisions, and
vainly expecting relief from the troops which the
Captain Pacha had been dispatched to fetch from
Alexandria, but which the Pacha of Egypt was
in no hurry to send. According to others, the
pretended Conqueror of the Morea had been
compelled to evacuate all the line of country
which he had occupied, and to retire to Navarino•
in order to be nearer the aid which he was
most anxious to receive. Another rumour,
founded no doubt, on the late offer made
to England, is said to have been in cir-
culation amongst the islands, that a King
had been appointed for Greece with the ap-
probation of Great Britain, and that we had
engaged to furnish, besides land forces, such as-
sistance by sea as might be necessary. To deny
the correctness of such a report would be super-
fluous ; but yet though grounded in error, its
prevalence seems to have exercised a beneficial
influence over the late operations of the war. It
has encouraged the Greeks, and to a correspond-
ing degree alarmed and obstructed the Turks.
Doubtful whether they might not soon have to
encounter an enemy of tried-prowess and superior
might, the Ottoman Commanders have lost the
dating spirit which they displayed at the open-
ing of the campaign, and which there is reason
to believe, had been excited by the consci-
ousness of secret support from two European
Powers. They are grown timid and hesitate,and
thus allow a breathing time to their destined
victims, which is not left unimproved. The
appearance of an American squadron in the seas
of Greece, has also contributed to encrease the
alarm and perplexity of the_ Ottomans. This
squadron, even before it is joined by the Brandy-
wine frigate, which, after bringing back General
La Fayette to France, is going to the Mediterra-
nean, is sufficiently strong to-put all the fleets of
the Porte and its satraps to the rout. Its pre-
sence is therefore a ground of deep anxiety to the
Divan, and one of corresponding encouragement
and hope to the Greeks; and it is more than
doubtful, whether as long as it remains in the
vicinity of the seat of hostilities, the Egyptian
Pacha will trust his troops and vessels 'to the
sea, though the object be nothing less than the
rescue of his own Son from the hazardous situa-
tion in which his enterprising confidence, and the
defeat of his intended supporters have placed him.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
On Tuesday we stated briefly the substance of
the intelligence which we had received from Cal-
cutta, respecting the decisive successes obtained
over the Burmese forces by Sir Archibald Camp-
bell. We are this (lay enabled, on, the best
authority, to lay before our readers the details of
those operations which have conduced so signally
to establish beyond all reach of danger, our per-
manent empire in the East. Sir Archibald Camp-
bell, who appeared to have carried on his pro-
jects with the greatest activity,. had advanced to
within two days' march of Procne; but finding
that the enemy had collected in superior force at
Donabew, and had taken up a strong position on
the Irrivraddy river, he deemed it prudent to
make a retrograde movement in support of Bri-
gadier-General Cotton the. free passage of that
riverbeing essential to the success of all his future
proceedings. Aware. of the extreme danger
which awaked his army at Prome-, should any
important reverses happen at Donabew, he deter-
mined to repair thither himself ; he arrived before
it on the 26th March. The place was immediately
invested ; the garrison, with a strong detachment,
made two several sorties ; brit they were bravely
repulsed, and the greater part of them destroyed.
On the '2d of April a rocket, early in the day,
was fatal to their General, the valiant Bundoola b.
The Burmese held this Chieftain to be invin-
cible ; their superstition had always regarded
him as the God of Battles. The die was now
cast ; an appalling consternation struck through
the whole garrison, and they made their escape,
to a man, under cover of the night, and Kith such
precipitation, as to leave behind all their artil-
lery, together with their magazines of every de-
scription. Sir Archibald having possessed himself
of Donabew, prepared, with the utmost expedi-
tion, to return to Prome ; all his army had re-
crossed the Irrawaddy on. the ll th, at Surravah ;
here he was joined by Brigadier-Generals
M'Creagh and Armstrong, who commanded a
re-inforcement of the Royals and some native
troops from Rangoon. By the latest informa-
tion received from this gallant Commander,
it appears that the :Burmese Chiefs, toge-
ther with vast masses of the population, are
anxiously tendering their submission, and two of
hisßurmese Majestyji Privy gOiiircillors have noti-
fied their arrival atProme, end their being debuted
by their- Master to enter, if permitted, into an
immediate negotiation for peace. Sir Archibald,
ins reply, intimated his consent to meet them, on
what he considered to be, on their part, so pru-
dent an errand. The preliminary meeting was
expected to take place. on the 23d April. Tine
Burmese had been, during the preceding month,
actively employed in stockading Procne. Sir
Archibald has proposed to these heralds of peace
that he should be allowed to take quiet posses-
sion. Should this proposition be opposed, which
is not likely, those who know the promptitude
of decision which marks his character, know that
he wilt not wait for a second refusal. The
military skill and bravery of this distinguished
officer have at length brought this harassing con-
flict to an end, and destroyed, we hope for every
all hopes of a successful confederacy of these lo-
dian tribes, that had so formidably menaced the
safety of our possessions in the East. The value
of this service is inestimable. Sir A. Campbell,
we may rest assured, will make such a treaty as'

shall leave the King of Ava without the
means of organizing hereafter any force that
may at all endanger the renewal of hosti-
lities. Would it not be politic to profit by
this crisis, and to place the Burmese territory
at once under the Company's Government ? The
beneficial effect of such an incorporation, in main-
taining the undisturbed prosperity of India, is
obvious. The Burmese themselves, under such
an alliance, would learn gradually to estimate the
blessing of civilization and tranquillity, which
they would enjoy under British protection. They
‘would, in progress of time, become familiar with
the principles of political and moral justice. As
a feudatory state, it would, moreover, form a na-
tural barrier—indeed the only one—between us
and China. Certainly the best result of the ope-
rations of war is the power of thus making them
subservient to the obtainment of permanent. peace.

[NEW TIMES.]
We have been tavoured with the sight of seve-
ral private letters from Rangoon, written, about
the latter part of the month of March, the fol
lowing extracts from which afford
.a lively picture
of the state of affairs at that period:—
" We expect that the whole army, with the exception of a
corps left to garrison Rangoon, will proceed to Prome, about
200 miles ; where they will concentrate and canton during the
rainy season, which commences towards the end of May and
lasts till the end of November. During this period the coun-
try, from being low and swampy, is generally under water,
and military operations must he suspended until the cold sea.
son, when it is believed the combined forces from Bengal and
Madras will advance upon Ummerapoora, the capital of the
kingdom of .Ava, distant about 500 miles from Rangoon. Um-
merapoora may, perhaps, be in our power by Christmas. The
protraction of the campaign will be severely felt at home, as
the expences attendant on carrying it on exceed in magnitude
those of any military operations that have taken place in India,
since the attack on Seringapatam, in 1799.
" The army now in the kingdom of Ava, under the orders
of Brigadier-Generals Sir A. Campbell and Cotton, consist of
the Governor-General's Body Guard, one troop of European
Horse Artillery, and a European Rocket Troop from Bengal,
about 500 European Foot Artillery from Madras and Bengal,
under Lieutenant-Colonels Hopkinson and Pollock, his Ma-
jesty's 13th, 38th, 41st, 45th, 47th, and 89th regiments ; Ist
Madras European regiment, and the 3d, 7th, 9th, 12th, 18th,
22d, 26th, 28th, 30th, 34th, 38th, and 43d Madras Native In-
fantry. Of these the 3d are at Martaban the 7th at Mer-
gui and Favoy, the 12th at Bassein on the Irrawaddy, and.
the 18th at Panlang. The 9th, 34th, and a provisional bat-
talion of 1,000 men under Major Ogilvie, remain to garrison
Rangoon, and all the other corps are either in advance or
going up immediately. His Majesty's 45th regiment and
the 30th Madras Native Infantry, march in a few days, as
soon as the Commissariat can collect a sufficient number of
carts to transport the arrack and provisions. Besides the
force already named, Brigadier-Generals Morrison and
M`Bean have advanced upon Arracan with his Majesty's
44th and 94th regiments, about 300 European Artillery, the
10th and 16th Regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and five
Bengal Native Regiments. This force, after the capture of
Arracan, will move upon Prome, and join Sir A. Campbell.
Brigadier-General M`Kellar has advanced to Chittagong with
about 4,000 men ; and Brigadier-Generals Shuidham, Donlan,
and Richards, are penetrating by Sylhet and Rungpoor in the
direction of the capital.
" I should suppose, if the King of Ava persists in protract-
ing the war, about 30,000 men will be before his capital in De-
cember, when all our Divisions concentrate.

" You may judge of the expence of carrying on the war by
one or two articles. The transport service has had from 70 to
100 ships employed in conveying troops, stores, provisions, &c.
from the beginning of March, 1824. The Fort William, the
largest transport, is hired at 25,000 rupees per month, so that
this month she is entitled to three lacs of rupees. The smallest
sized vessels are about 300 tons, and receive about 6,000 rupees
per month. The other great article of expence is provisioning
the Europeans, the country being a complete desert, and till
very lately abandoned by the inhabitants, a few of whom, but
in scanty numbers, are now beginning to return. The Commis-
sariat have been obliged to feed the whole army, cattle, &c. at-
tached to it, with the provisions they require, by means of sea
conveyance. For a long time the troops were fed on salt meat ;
but the scurvy broke out amongst them so dreadfully, that the
medical officers declared, unless fresh provisions and vegetables,
with wine and beer, could be procured, the European part of
the army would, in a few months more, be annihilated. In con-
sequence of this, a contract was entered into at Calcutta to
supply the army with beef, which will yield an immense fortune
to the contractor. The average slaughter of bullocks is about
20 per day. Hay for the cavalry horses, and grain for them
and the draught cattle, as well as rice for the Native army, are
also sent by sea:
" The Madras Government have made gigantic efforts to
bring the war to a close ; and two more Native Regiments, the
Ist and 23d, are now under orders for Rangoon, which will be
more than one-third of the whole of the Native Infantry on the
coast. His Majesty's 59th and 87th Regiments are also coming
round from Calcutta. It is the opinion of most experienced
men here, that the season is now too far advanced to admit of
any thing being done before November next, except taking
possession of Prome, on the Irrawaddy, which, from the
strength of our army, we can do without much opposition.—
The thermometer is now at 98, and April, the hottest month,
is still to come, before the rains."

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Letters were yesterday received from Constan-
tinople to the 11th, and from Smyrna to the 4th
of September. The former contain no political
intelligence worthy of notice, as it consists in
loose rumours or unauthenticated statements, re-
specting the war in the Morea. The Smyrna let-
ters are nearly as barren, though that city is much
nearer the scene of action. They chiefly dwell
on a destructive fire which broke out in the
Frank quarter, a few days before, which con-
sumed 30 houses, anti would probably have com-
mitted much greater ravages, had it not been ar-
rested in its progress by the crews of several
ships of war at anchor in the Bay. The fire is
supposed to be the work of incendiaries, insti-
gated by hatred of all Europeans, without dis-
tinction of nation, in consequence of their sup-
posed partiality to the Greeks. The charge
with respect to the people generally may be
true : but the Turks betray their usual
ignorance, in implicating the Governments in
the pretended offence, as these are more
careful of their interests than they imagine.
Their exasperation, however, is chiefly directed
against the English, which is to be lamented,
on account of the personal risk to which it will
expose a number of respectable individuals;
though it cannot be denied, that it is a compli-
ment to the English character, and a sullen tri-
bute to English policy. From the silence of these
letters, respecting the affairs of Greece, we are
inclined to augur well of them ; and therefore
hope that intelligence, which reached town yes-
terday from Genoa, will prove to be unfound-
ed. In a letter from that city, addressed to
an eminent house in London, there is a para-
graph to the following effect :—" I am sorry
to apprize you that Napoli has fallen." \Ye
have not seen the letter, containing this
most disheartening passage ; but we under-
stand there is such a document ; and that the re-
spectability of the individuals, to whom it is ad-
dressed, is above all suspicion. The fail of that
place, the seat of the Greek Government, and
one of the last bulwarks of the national inde-
pendence on the Continent, would be a most
severe, if not an irreparable loss; and we are
therefore glad to learn that the Greeks in this
country treat the statement with the most marked
distrust. They say, that they have direct ad.

vices from there to the 26th of August, which, so
far from holding out any expectation of the kind,
contain on the contrary the most encouraging
assurances with respect to the security of that
important place, and to the state of affairs
generally. Besides there are accounts from
the Captain of an English vessel (the Nimble),
who left Napoli on the 22d of August, which
concur in substance with the foregoing. They
also speak of great advantages gained by the
Greeks over the Egyptians, a few days before
the Nimble sailed ; and we only regret that the
requisites of time and place are not observed with
all the exactness so necessary to credit upon oc-
casions like this. Another vessel (the Elizabeth)
which left Napoli a few days before, reports
equally as favourably on the state of affairs ;
whilst the inhabitants are represented as free
from all alarm—a sentiment in which the report
does not fully agree, as it says that a single Eng-
lish regiment, were it to appear before the place,
would take it in 24 hours. However, the
Egyptians are not English ; and something for
national pride must be allowed in a flourish of
this kind.

[THE TIMES.]
We are confident that the mingled compassion
and mortification we have experienced on read-
ing a late paragraph concerning Mrs. Belzoni,
are feelings which every individual member of
this humane and enlightened community must
suffer in common with us. The distressed lady
has long been endeavouring to unite with the
means of a decent livelihood for herself, the most
pious and affectionate offices towards the memory
of her lamented husband. Mrs. Belzoni has clung
to the relics of Egyptian art which were first
rescued from the silence of 30 centuries by her
lost partner's sagacity, patience, and courage,
with a firmness and tenderness which never could
have been prompted by the mere consideration
that in them consisted the wrecks of a little for-
tune which was sacrificed to the instruction and
gratification of mankind. She kept them in her
own faithful hands, as precious memorials of the
fame and honour of Belzoni. The caprice of
fashion deserted the exhibition of these magnifi-
cent remains for objects of perhaps not one-thou-
sandth part of their intrinsic curiosity and value.
The receipts from visitors have for some time
ceased to defray the expences attendant On the
exhibition, and the afflicted widow of the most
eminent traveller that modern times have pro-
duced, is left in a state of destitutiorr—not
only painful to reflect upon, but absolutely
disgraceful to the civilized world. If Govern-
ment were to buy at a liberal price the fruits of
Belzoni's most able researches, we should say
that the public money was not ill bestowed. But
the poor man had hard-hearted enemies while he
lived, and it is not in the nature of such people
to let go the sweet passion of jealousy and ma.
lignity when it has once been domesticated in
their bosoms. Yet a creature more unassuming,
more unoffending, more kindly, or (so far as his
humble resources admitted) more liberal, than
poor Belzoni, we have reason to know never
existed. If, however, the influence predomi-
nating at the British Museum should be one from
which no friendly interference on behalf of
Belzoni's reputation, or of his suffering widow,
can he looked for, let us at least supplicate
for the living and the dead a small con.
tribution from the munificence of our gene-
rous countrymen—that an exemplary woman
may be released from the pangs of extreme po-
verty, and that the original and unrivalled col-
lections by which Belzoni has enriched this age
and country, may not be torn to pieces by the
rude talons of the law, to perish with his unfor-
tunate relict, for want of a little, but well-timed
effort of humanity. We are sure that any re-
spectable banking-house would be happy to re-
ceive subscriptions for Mrs. Belzoni's benefit, and
we know that there is a kind and constant friend
of Belzoni's at one of our Universities who might
succeed in assembling a committee of gentlemen
to undertake some plan of permanent benefit, as
well for the support of the widow as for the pre-
servation of the Belzoni Gallery. Why do the
Travellers' Club look on while she is suffering ?

[MORNING HERALD.]
The" war" of the parochial authorities against
the apple-women still rages with unabated vigour
in many parts of town. The fruit-stal.k, with
the green embellishments and " golden fruitage,"
which rather decorated than deformed the dreary
length of Oxford-street, have not only been driven
from the more fashionable air of that vicinity,
but even the purlieus of Clare-market have un-
dergone a purgation. The desolating besom of
reform was wielded there recently, and cleared
those respectable precincts of the " vulgar traffic"
of the children of Pomona ! On Saturday this war
of extermination was carried to its height—every
table or stall that boreagnilty weight of fruit or gin-
gerbread, and presumed to stand erect in the pre-
sence of the " Dogberries," was overturned, and
groups of the poor creatures to whom theybelonged
were seen gathering from the mire their stock in
trade, which the rude hand of petty tyranny had
dashed upon the ground. I n this " land of free-
dom" there is a class of people whose delicate
and moral sensations are not so much offended
with any crime as that of hopeless poverty. We
have known some of those persons who would
express no small sympathy for the fate of a
dashing thief or forger, and would kick an
apple-woman out of the street as an intole-
rable nuisance !—nay, they would promote, with
much cant about the inhnmanity of the laws, pe-
titions for mercy on behalf of culprits, whose ra-
pacious frauds had bereft the widow and the or-
phan of their all, and yet deny to ragged house-
less people the privilege of standing on the bare
pavement to make a scanty livelihood in the open
air!! Now we would ask the persons who set on
and encourage this parish tyranny, whether
they would rather see the unfortunate people
whom they persecute standing at the bar
of the Ohl Bailey, to answer for crimes
which want and despair drove them to commit,
than making a fair livelihood by selling cakes and
nuts, as this humble class of traders have done
from time immemorial ? If they would, we mint
say they .are more dangerous pests to society

than the forlorn creature! Oh' whom they trample.
That portion of the poor deserve rather to be en-
couraged than repressed, who prefer an industrious
living to the charity of themorkhouse, or the gains
of criminal pursuits. So it was thought when the less
squeamish and more manly grandfathers of their
persecutors went to school, and carried-'in their
satchels more " forbiden fruit" than was ever
plucked from the tree of knowledge. We hope
the sensible and humane part of the public, who
interfere in parish matters, will put an end to the
disgusting scenes of oppression, which some
" Jacks in Office" are delighted to practise upon
those who, like the negro girl in the story, have
none to stand up in their defence.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have more than once observed, that of all
the ill-served offices of this country, that of Co-
roner is, generally speaking, the worst served ;
and this being the case, it is certainly by no means
surprizing that some of these functionaries should
be extremely anxious to keep their proceedings
from the public eye. It i 3 almost impossible to
read a Coroner's Inquest without being struck by
the contrast between the earnestness and shrewd.
ness with which the Jury enter into the busi-
ness of inquiry, and the very opposite qua-
lities commonly displayed by the Coroner. It
would almost seem that one of our beauti-
ful balances had been purposely introduced
in the constitution of these Courts, and that
the presiding authority was chosen with a view
to a leaden capacity, which might render him a
counterpoise to the activity of Jurors—a sort of
dead weight to close the door to inquiry. Cer-
tain it is that we are accustomed to observe a
perpetual struggle between the vivacity of Jurors
in searching out truth, and the indifference of Co-
roners—the former are always for bringing light
to bear on the matter in hand, and the latter
are too often for clapping an extinguisher on
it. Juries, it may be objected, are apt to run
over the ground too fast, but Coroners, on the
other hand, are too prone to check the pursuit al-
together, instead of endeavouring to give the ex-
cess of zeal and activity a useful direction. They
are, in fact, generally dull men, who love their
ease, and are consequently inclined to adopt that
solution of every difficulty which gives least
trouble; they are further, commonly acquainted
with just so much law as serves to perplex them
and render them distrustful of their own judg-
ments, even in the most simple cases. Some
there are of a different character no doubt ; in so
large a body there must necessarily be intelligent
individuals well qualified for their situation,
but, generally speaking, the office is ill served,
and Judges, who are not prone to find fault with-
out very sufficient provocation, have frequently
of late adverted to the negligent and slovenly
manner in which Coroners perform their duties.
The publication of proceedings of course throws
a disagreeable light on the imperfections of these
gentlemen, and they are naturally desirous of
every possible degree of privacy. We can,
therefore, perfectly understand the feelings which
prompted Mr. Farrand, of Oldham notoriety,
to observe with a naivete that is quite charming,
" I am sure the business of Coroners' Inquests
was much better conducted before Newspaper
Reporters meddled with them, and when Co-
roners were left entirely to themselves, that is
my firm opinion, and 1 have had a few years'
experience as a Coroner. Ever since the second
day of the Oldham Inquest, I have made it a
rule not to permit any Reporter whatever to be
present at an Inquest that I hold." So far as
Mr. Farrand is personally concerned, this is
undoubtedly an extremely prudent resold-
tion. l'rivacy becomes him. He may lay
down " Crowner's quest law" like the grave-
digger in Hamlet, and nobody can say nay to
it, so long as the doors are closed to the
Press. But this rule, so advantageous to the in-
dividual, is, unfortunately, not equally beneficial
to the public ; and we rejoice that the legality of
it is about to be tried. In Ilawkins's Pleas of
the Crown, we observe that it is held, that " if
the Coroner omits to take an inquisition
upon an untimely death, it may he done
by Justices of Gaol Delivery, Oyer and
Terminer, or of the Peace, but it must be done
openly ; and if it be done secretly, it may
be quashed." (Of the Court of the Coroner,
cap. 9.) The obvious inference is, that the In-
quisition of Justices is bound by the same rules
(with the single exception of the view of the
body) as the regular Inquest, and that the pub-
licity which is held by the Law essential to the
one is equally essential to the other.

MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

BE/OTC FRANCIS CONST, Esq.
The Court met yesterday for the purpose of trying the few
cases remaining on the list.

CONDUCT OF TWO OF THE BOW-STREET PATROL.
Mr. Joseph Such, jun., an auctioneer and brewer, residing
at Hounslow, and Timothy Lewis, his gardener, were indicted
for assaulting John limmerson and David Johnson, two of the
130 w-street patrol, while in the execution of their duty at
Hounslow, on the 27th of July last.
Mr. ALLEY briefly stated the case to the Jury, and called
the following witnesses :
David Johnson, Bow-street patrol, sworn.—On the day
named in the indictment, myself and Emmerson were on duty
at Isleworth, where we apprehended a person of the name of
Levingstone, against whom we had a warrant. (The warrant
was produced and handed to the Chairman. It was for a com-
mon assault.) We brought the man to Hounslow, on the way
to Brentford, but it being four o'clock in tile afternoon when
we got to the former place, we found we were too late to take
him before a Magistrate on that day, and therefore determined
on lodging him in the Cage of that place till the following morn-
ing. The prisoner, on finding our intention, resisted, and a
great crowd was in consequence collected, who attempted to
rescue him from us. Seeing Mr. Such among the crowd, I
called upon him in the King's name to aid and assist, which he
refused doing, and I then desired him to get out or the way.—
saying this he struck me in the side with his elbow.
Inponmy
consequence of the clamour of the crowd, we took the prig
soner on to Brentford, where we saw Mr. George Clark, the
clerk to the magistrates, who permitted the prisoner to go at
large,f on his promising to attend the following day.
Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY.—Why did you not take
the prisoner before a magiAtrate at once, instead of attempting
to put him in the cage; you knew it was a bailable offence ?
Witness.—Because Mr. Creighton ordered us not to bring
any one before him after two o'clock in the day.
Mr. BattaY.—Did not the prisoner tell you that l‘lr. Clark
bad given orders for his being brought before him, immediately
on the warrant being executed ?
Witness.—yes, but we were not hound to believe him.
In answer to a further question, the witness admitted that
there were a great many respectable tradesmen of the town pre-
sent when the of took place, and that the defendant, Mr.
Such, on his first cnrelbg up, said that it was a d-..d shame to

put a reVettabie man in the cage for the night wu-
his CO Id 0

John Emmerson, the other patrol, told a similar stor/hlnl
