GUILDHALL -(THIS DA V.)

IMPORTANT TO PAWNBROKERS.--Mr. Whitaker
was summoned by Mr. Weston, of No. 12, Fetter-lane,
under the Metropolitan Police Act, passed last session,
to show cause why he refused to deliver up a quantity
of calico, linen, and buttons, beir, materials for making
shirts, which had been unlawfully pawned with him.
Part of the calico and linen was cut up in collars, wrist-
bands, &c., and came under the denomination of un-
finished work, fin receiving which in pledge, pawnbro-
kers are liable, according to the new Act to
a fine in twice the amount of the money lent,
with costs, besides the restitution of the goods to the
owner. In this case it appeared that Mr. Weston has
been of late plundered to a great extent by sonic of his
work people (who are in custody upon the charge). and
a qu Antity of unfinished work has been discovered in
the hands of pawnbrokers.

Mr. Weston swore that the money lent by the de-
fendant upon the goods now produced in Court was
more than their value.

Mr. Whitaker said that showed he knew the person
who pawned them, and that he believed the person to
be honest.

Mr. Weston contended that it showed the pawn-
breker was a gainer by the connexion.
The MAGISTRATES (Mr. Alderman Copeland and
Mr. Kelly) Mtheted the full penalty.

COLONIAL MARKET.

The public sales were unimportant, but by private treaty a
fair amount of bosines,. was transacted at former rates, and some
articles were rather higher. The Imports still come in slowly
from all quarters. 'Etc auctions declared are of little moment.
