TOWN-HALL.

A Mrs. Dewsben y, a stay-maker in the Borough, and a
Mr. M'Dermot, a potatoe salesman, carrying on his calling in
Red Lion-street, Borough-market, appeared before Sir JOHN
KEY, to answer the complaint of Eliza Hawkins.
The complainant stated that she was servant to a lady
named Whiting, who resided in the Clapham road. Some
days ago her mistress gave her a sovereign, and being in want
of that essential article to the preservation of the female
shape—a pair' of stays—she called at the shop of Mrs.
Dewsberry, where she purchased a pair, and tendered in
payment the sovereign which her mistress had given her.
Mr. Dewsberry not being able to give change, sent to her
friend the potatoe-dealer, who, not liking the chink of the
sovereign, placed it between his grinders and bit it in two. He
then refused to give change or return the mutilated sovereign,
declaring it to be bad. Under these circumstances, the com-
plainant was obliged to bring the case before the worthy Al-
derman, to compel the repayment to her, either by Mr. Dews-
bury or the potato-dealer, of the sovereign. The mutilated
sovereign had been sent to the Mint and pronounced good.
After much recrimination on both sides, Mr. M'Dermot
agreed to give the complainant another sovereign, declaring
that though in the present instance he had acted the part of a
sovereign-biter, he would take good care that he did not get
bit in future.
