A mist gallant act of intrepidity was perform-

so nobly rescued a fellow creature. In March
last, while the Andromeda was air the Limn d, she
lost her rudder, and it. being nece,iary to apply
an immediate remedy, the jolly Nita was lowered
down with Mr.,,NAsn, a master's rna,e, and ftmr
men for that purpose. In the act of lowering, one
.tackle gave Way, and Mr. N %sir was precipitated
into the waves. After continuing in the water a
long time, he, was picked up six inile.s astern of
the Andromeda , by the „Silvia cutter, and restored
to the profession which he so much honours.
Being an excellent swimmer, he owed this event-
ual preservation chiefly to floating on his beck,
and relieving himself in every way he >rrcrulilr from

Magistrates,--On the 25th of last Month; John
Myers, the informer hi the present case, and Mat-

company, liaising by the door of Mr. llenfield; ire
Church-street, St. Giles, at the time a load of coals
stood at the door for delivery, Myers observed
to his companion, that he was sure from the ap-

Parliament, it was'hately two htrhels and a halt.

Mr. ALLayappeared as Counsel on their behalf,
KNowfts, for the. proseentiOn, opened the
ease, and stated- the iMposition •practisid on, the
public at large t such glaring fraud and abuse
he •termed Ihe worst kind of robbery, •and
which he,would prove was knoWingly and wilfully
committed, by the defendants. They sent the
coals'in tptestioa by their own carman, Joseph
Casse)l; who, with the.coals, delivered a printed
ticket, purporting it to be a load of coals of :35
sacks, also. a bOshelineasure deficient in measure-
ment, in a waggon of their 'own,. with their name
. and ~addrestv painted thereon. After the coals
were delivered, at Mr. 13entield's, the waggoner
delivered the ticket which' he now hold in hi

up to the. nformer, but 'Mr. lienfield

person might make use of the defendant's 'name,
in order to screed himself from justice. -This oh:.
jeetion,' after Some observation, was over-ruled
'by the carman acknowledging that he delivered
'the enals and ticket. Mr. ALLEY next contended
that the Coals in question did not require to be
measured sacks, nor did they require to leave a
coal-meter's ticket, being what was usually called.

therefote might'be filled into any kind of sacks,'
large or small, and without a meter's ticket, Mr.
KNOWLEs shewed that this statement was un-
founded.; as, if it were so,-there was no necessity
for sending a ticket, mentioning 35 sacks. Hey
called on the defendants to prove that the coals in
question were part of a room or4ot of coals poi
eliased by Mr. Benfield, which they had, to
do. The defendants were fined in the penalty of
twenty -pounds. • .•
