MANstoit-nonsE.Yesterdaya gentleman named
O'HAra, an officer in the army, and a•relation to the
Member of Pariiament of that name, was brought
•
before +be Lord Mayor, on a charge of being disor-

dirt y• •
To substantiate this charge, the landlord of the
Swan Tavero, on Fish-street-hill, Mr. Cassedy, can'e
forward. He ~fated that Mrt O'Hara carne into the
honse on the preceding eveoing, in coMpany with a ,
female of rsspoCtabie appearance, asked for a prtvate
room, arid ordered sake beef steaks, &c. for supper.
Mi. 0' liara w.r4 immediately u -hered into a room,
and. thee waiter proceeded to lay the cloth ; but
shortly after Dolr. O'Hara lett the house without
w siting or paying for his supper; and on this account
Mr. Cassedy thought proper' to take him into custody,
confine hint in the Poultry Compter, and bring him
k,,,ire the Lord Mayor.
Mr. O'Hara then begged to be heard. • He stated
that he had but just come to town, and having some
particular bu,iness to transact with the lady. alluded
to, who was a distant relation of his, he had begged
of her to accompany him into the Swan Tavern; the-
appearance of. which induced him to imagine it was
a respectable ' house, and such a one as he could,
wit stout impropriety, condua
.the lady into, J.o
whom he had to, pay a • sum of.money ; wishing to
be alone, he requested the- waiter, who, came back—.
wards and forwards several times, to remain out of
the room till he Was called. . This injunction,
e,t er, the waiter did not • think proper to
regard, but continued to stand in- the room,
and observe what Mr. -O'Hara was doing.-•,-
Mr. O'Hara,. incensed at his condua, went
out and complained to his master, whO took no
notice;, and"on his return to the room, .the waiter
again made-his appearance, and by his gestures-and
miners evincing the greatest impertiuence. •On this
frequent repetition of Insult, M 0:14 tookli
----dra _tn
by int collar and turned himota of
_the room ; and
titling his master san&ioned him in his conduct, he
thou; ht it proper to quit the house, and crossed to
the Mitre Tavern opposite. On his coating out of
which, after having supped, Mr. Cassedy seized
him by the collar, dragged him across the street into
his house, and having sent for a watchman, hadJiim
conveyed to the PoultryCompter.
. The Lord- Mayor here interrupted Mr. O'Hara,
and Said, the landlord was entitled to be paid for the
supper, as he could not be answersble for the .mis-
eondutt of his waiter, and advised him to go out and
settle it.
-Mr. O'Hara said, he did not think it reasonable to
expect a gentleman should be obliged to pay for a
supper of w hich he did not partake, and in a house
where-the miscondua of the waiter, sanetioncd by
his waster, was such as to render it impossible to
stop with any degree, of domfort or convenience.
The Lord Mayor then Aced Cassedy if Mr.
O'Hara had spoken to him on the conduct of his
waiter. Mr. Cassedy replied he had ; bUt that as`
Mr. O'Hara had only complained of the waiter look-
ing at him, he did not think that was ,a sufficient
ground of complaint to -notice. He allowed that
the lady who accompanied Mr. O'Hara was of a most
respectable atezl sedate appearance.
The Lord Mayor persisted in the justice of the
landlord being paid, which Mr. O'Hara said he
could not allow.
The waiter, Wm. Jordan, was then called. He
-admitted that he bad gone several times into the
room ; that Mr. O'H. had desired him to atop out,
in a very rough.matmer, and finally 'took him by the
collar, offered to kick him, and pushed him out.
Mr. O'Hara said he was convinced that, had his
Lordship, or any other gentleman been similarly
treated, they would have aced precisely in the same
manner ). and expressed his intention of having Cas-
sedy punished for his mo-St gross and insulting
conduct. , -
The Lord Mayor advised him to go out and settle
mater with Cassedy, which ire refused; but
wished to prefer a complaint against \him. This
however would not be received, and the Lord Mayor
committed him to the • Poultry Compter, until he
could filed bail, tp answer for the assault on the
waiter.
The waiter had not come forward for the purpose
of preferring a complaint, nor did he express any
desire to prosecute.

GUILDHALL-Yesterday a hardened little urchin,
named Michael Flynn, was brought up for exami-
nation, charged with feloniously breaking open a box
in the house of a publican where he was employed
as a plaisterer's labourer, and stealing tliereout• an
apron and a silk handkerchief.
The -faa was fully prOved against the Prisoner;
but .the Magistrate hesitated in committing him, be-
cause it appears that he is a principal witness against a
woman previously committed, and who is a nold-
rious offender, for in case of .his committal his tes-
timony-'would be completely defeated. He was,
bovvo er, remanded until to-morrow,
