The interior of the Old Ccurt of Justice icz
the Old 13:iiley, is now undergoing a complete
repair. Scaffolding is erected in every •part, and

to remove the cushions and other decoration of
the Judges'. Bench, and the Counsels' •:box, and
to substitute new ones hi their stead: • The pre-

About one o'clock on Wednesday morning a
loud ringing at the bell brought the porter of the St. James's
.Hotel, Jermyn-street, to the door. He there saw.a man _a.
shionably dressed, Who hastily took what appeared to be a gold
watch from hii fob; and asked the porter to lend him 51. upon
it:till the morning, when he would return the money, with some
gratuity to boot. The porter, thinking that he had to deal with
some -gentleman whu had foolishly lost all his cash at one of the
gambling houses:which abound in the neighbourhood, readily-
lent him the money: The gentleman, however, never called to
redeem his watch next morning ; which is not to be wondered
at, since it-turns out to be worth only a few shillings. ,On the
same morning the porters of the Royal Hotel and White's
Club House, in St. James's-street, were defrauded by the same
fellow under similar circumstances. .
Lao BAIL—We have often heard of this de-
scription of security being given to creditors by those who were
not prepared with better security ; but it was not until within
these few days that we have heard of its being willingly ac-
cepted on the part of the creditor. On Monday last, however,
a son of Crispin having been making plentiful libations to the
Saint, at a public-house near Lambeth Church-, and not having
wherewithal to discharge his obligation to the landlord, made
an offer of leg bail as security for future payment. 'Bciniface.
to the great amusement of the cortipany, accepted it, and in-
stantly proceeded to unscrew one of the debtor's legs, which he
retained in pledge, allowing him to hop off upon the remaining
pin, to endeavour to raise money forthe redemption of its cap-
tive companion.

On Wednesday morning a disturbance.-or6med
in Webb-street, St. Olave's, which excited great terror in that
neighbourhood while it lasted. The child of a native of Ire-
land died some days ago, and before the " wake" had taken
place the body was stolen by some of the resurrection men.
As soon as this circumstance. became known in Tooley-street,
an immense multitude of the lower orders of, that country as-
sembled together, and a report having got wind amongst them
that the body of the child was disposed of at Grainger's dis-
secting rooms in Webb-street,. thither the mob iepaired, and
having taken up their station in trent of the theatre of anatomy,
with dreadful menaces and imprecations threatenedlto Full
down the house about the ears of the inmates if the body was
.tot immediately delivered up. The anatomist' himself made
his appearance at one of the windows, and assured them that
such a subject had not been brought to his house, btit all his
endeavours to convince them of this fact proved unavailing, and
it was not until the aid of the police was called in that the dis-
turbance, which for a length of tithe had a very threatening
aspect, subsided.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A dreadful aceidentt
occasioned in a most singular manner, occurred yeste'rday at
one o'clock in the day, at the engine manufactory of Mr.
Payne, Greenwich. A young man, named Zachariah Kinslev.
being employed to clean a flue, covered himself, ekcept his
head, arms, and hands, with tow to keep off the 'ioos, and
which hi unfortunately set ire to by going too near a lighted
candle he had in the flue with him, and was instantly itirround-
ed by flames, Which the confined nature of the place I:mental
being extinguished, until his face and arms were burnt in a
manner too dreadful for description. Hi was conveyed in a
caravan to St. Thomas's Hospital in extreme agony,-, *here h-
lingers in a most deplorable and dangerous condition..
