MA NS lON-I-1015S E P6llCe Officer belonging to
the Lord Mayor's Court' yesterdesCharged a fellow,
ti: hone he had taken up in ThaMes-street, the pre-
ceding night, tar riotous end ditorderly conelia6teese
He stated that a young girl, a hawker of walnuts,
now present, bed her ass run dawn, and its kg frac-
tuSed, by a brewer's dray wantonly driven over it. -
A Gentleman passing at the moment, took the
• number of the dray on a piece Of paper, which he
gave to the girl, as some clue to redress for the loss
Of her donkey. The Prisoner snatched 'the paper
from her -hand, grossly abesed her, and would not
give it up. A crowd colle&ed, the Officer inter-
fered, :led the Prisoner insulted, abused, and pushed
tfe;Gentleman` about, and otfired to the Officer
who bad taken him into custody five shillings to let
- him go and fight-his way throcgh the crowd.
This 'testimony ells Corroborated by the girl,
whose ass was destroyed, and by a Gentleman who.
was present at the tratisatlieu; and the Priscrtxr,,
who conduaed himself, even at the bar, with gross
contumacy and insolence, was very properly ordered
by the Magistrate to be sent on board the Tel der.
A Gentleman of the name of Hurst having ob-
tained a summons against one Harris, a ticket
porter, for detaining train him his trbnks and bag-
gage, the parties attended this day before the Leen
MAYOR.
The Gentleman stated, that having returned from
Margate, he had sent his servants yesterday to bring
his property from on board the Ship, but that the
person against whom he now complained had re-
fused to allow the property to be taken away.
The ticket porter said that he coneeived,himself
as alone having a right ta load, unload, and carry all
. goods from on, board the Ship. He produced an Ac}
of Parliament, as his ;lethality to do so, prohibiting
all persons whatsoever from exercising that privilege
except ticket porters of the City of London.
The LORD MAYOR, being assured that the persons
whom the Gentleman had employed to unship his
goods were actually his own servants, informed the
porter that he bad no such privilege as that which he
now claimed— The Gentleman might himself, If
he had been able, or if he had chosen it, have re-
moved his property frOm on boaed of ship, and he
was eqUally entitled to remove it by, means of his
Orvents. If the porter was. dissatisfied with this
constration put upon. the Ad by his Lordship, he
might bring his action. .
The porter, seemingly much displeased with the
decisions, said that lie , did not ehooso to brieg any
action, He owlet etood &had been the duty of the.
.Lord. Mayor to prote& and aSsert the privileges of
the citizens and freemen of London. He. tsPee Saw
that there Was no use in being a freeman of isentlem,
and that their privileges .xere gone, or of nieaeall.
Gut Lllll A1..1.1.-,-.411tg ll'ett was charged -with at-
tempting to 'utter two bad shillings to Mr. Grant, a
publican in Smithfield. The Unfortunate steeman be
havedin a most incoherent manner, and Went into
fits while at the bar. It appeared that she had seen
better days ; there was reason to believe that she
had come by the base coin accidentally ; and that
the shame and trouble of mind attendant on h eon.;
hrtement in the cumptct• had reduced her to the mes
latieltoiy sitnation in which she now appeered.
The Sitting Magistrate ordered her to be brought
up again to enorroW, that it might be considered* in
the mean time how 811'6 'coeld be bestprovided for:
