MARYLEBONE.

It will be remembered that on the 16th instant a consi-
derable degree of sensation was caused at this office (which
was then crowded to excess), in consequence of that day
having been appointed for the hearing of warrants against
Mr. Henry Parrott, cheesemonger, 13, Munster-street,
Regent's Park ; and Mr. James Tomlin, a baker, of No. 6,
Granby-street, Hampstead-road, for having caused a crowd
to assemble in a riotous manner in the street at the period
of a distraint being made by Mr. Richard Bond, a
broker, residing in Seymour-street, Euston-square, on the
first-named defendant's goods for fifteen shillings, the amount
of a church-rate due. A number of witnesses were exa-
mined touching the case, and the defendants, at the termi-
nation of a protracted inquiry, were ordered to find bail,
themselves in 501., and two sureties in 251. each, for their
appearance to answer the charge at the sessions.
The particulars of the above proceedings were fully re-
ported in the followine, day's paper.
Yesterday Mr. Bond, the broker above alluded to, ap-
peared before Messrs. RAWLINSON, SHUTT, and Lord
MONTFORT, to answer an information laid by Clarke, the
well-known informer of twenty or thirty years' standing, for
having carried away in his cart a weighing-machine (the
article seized), this same vehicle having neither the name
nor address of the owner thereon, for which offence, under
the Act of Parliament applicable to the case, he had ren-
dered himself amenable to a penalty.
Mr. Clarkson, the Barrister, appeared on the part of the
trustees of St. Pancras, and, as before, a great number of
witnesses, as also other parishioners, were in the office.
The first witness called by Clarke was a Mr. Henry
Parrott.

—.........
Mr. RAWLINSON (to witness)—State what you know of
this affair, Sir ; but don't take up time by going into extra-
neous matter : confine yourself simply to the facts of the

case.

Witness—On last Wednesday week I was seized on for
church-rates by Mr. Bond, who took away my goods in his
cart. There was neither name nor address on it.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you examine it very closely ?
Witness—l did, Sir.
Mr. RAwuNsoN—How do you prove that vehicle be-
longed to Mr. Bond ? Witness—He told a man to go and
fetch his
after the first one had gone away.
iR cart,wuNsort—How comes it that this complaint is
made by a common informer ? Why did you not lay the
information yourself? Witness (confusedly) Because
Mr. Clarke happened to call on me for a few particulars
connected with the business, and I thought it might as well
be left to him.

Mr. CLARKSON—After the distraint you were brought
to this office and held to bail for a riot, were you not ?
Witness—l was.

Mr. CLARKSON—Was the man who came with the first
cart told by any one or more persons what the distraint was
for ? Witness—Yes.

Mr. CLARKSON—NOW, on your oath, were you not the
very person who said to this man, " I've been seized on for
church-rates, and surely you'll not lend your horse and cart
for such a purpose ?" Witness—l merely said, " Rus-
sell, they want to have my goods ; are you going to take
them ?"

Mr. CLA.RKSON—Was there any one in the vehical at
