TAXATION OF COSTS.

Lord ABINGER in the course of the day said he would
take that opportunity of stating that the Court had un-
cle their consideration the expediency or necessity of
a(lonting a new mode in the taxation of costs in that
Court, in consequence of having ascertained that the plan
in the Court of Exchequer was different to that used in
the other Courte. That circumstance was, it appeared, at-
tended with considerable inconvenience, and in some in-
stances with much injustice to the suitors. This was a
great abuse, and one which their Lordships felt ought
to be corrected and remedied. •

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
HATTON-GARDEN.

In for ma..`_on IVas received at the office of an extensive
robbery at the '."use of !Tames Williams, Esq. About a
a most ficihion s
house in aable exterior, about
week back a female ‘,4
'
45 years of age, drove up .1;0 Mr. Williams
cabriolet, and stated she was in Zffalvh of apartments
in
town,
iu
some respectable family, having just ir.FIY d
where she was a total stranger, on urgent busi2ftss from
Colchester. Mrs. Williams, with a feeling highly com-
mendable, immediately received her into tfie hoot?, Qn
the day afterwards the lady feigned illness, and continued
in her bed-room till Saturday morning, when she re-
quested Mrs. Williams to take coach to John Lock, Esq.,
East India House, who would deliver into her care some
valuable M
property belonging to her. After rs. Wil-
liams was gone the housemaid was induced to go on an
errand by the pretended invalid, who, when left alone,
broke open Mrs. William's jewel-case and stole a gold
watch and many other valuable articles, and also a quan-
tity of plate and some cash, with which she escaped from
the house. The note to Mr. Lock (who of course knew
nothing of the writer) ran thus :—" Dear Sir,--Please
to send by the bearer what you wished me to send for.
—Sarah Latten."

The Magistrate slid that every publicity ought to be
given to such a matter, to preveut, if possible, further
edation.

THAMES-OFFICE.

George Fowke, a policeman of the IC division, No.
281, was charged by Mr. John Humble, an elderly
gentleman, under the following circumstances. Mr.
Humble was proceeding to the Blackwall Pier with his
wife to meet a steamer, and upon going down ono of the
inclined gangways at the wharf, on which there was no
other person at the time, he was rudely seized by the
policeman and forced back. It was some time before
Mr. Humble could escape from his grasp. The policeman
then made use of insulting expressions towards him.
The policeman, in defence, alleged that his orders were
to prevent people going upon the gangway before the
passengers had disembarked, and that he did not use
snore force than was necessary.
Mr. BALLAgTINE considered that the assault had been
proved. It was the duty of policemen to execute their
orders with mildness and civility, to do their duty firmly,
but not to line their temper. The defendant ought to
have informed Mr. Humble that he could not pass before
he seized him, but he allowed him to pass half-way down
the board, had seized him by the arm, put him in great
pain, and used insulting language towards him. Taking
into consideration the previous good character of the
defendant, he should sentence him to pay a fine of 20s.
only. The fine was paid.

W. JANrEs, ESQ.—The Tories have been busy
circulating a report that Mr. James will not again offer himself
as a candidate for East Cuosberland ; and that he is about to
reside upon the Continent. Of course there is no truth in
either statement. Mr. Jaws will again present himself to the
electors at the proper time ; and he has no intention of making
the Continent the place of hi; aboie. We hear he is shortly
expected to take up his residence again at Barrock Lodge._.
Carlisle Journal.
We regret to state that the Crown Prince of
Hanover (Prince George of Cumberland) has irrecol-er-
ably lost the sight of both eyes.
