BOW-STREET—(ruis DAY.)

A.question of some interest to livery-servants came on for
hearing this day before Sir R. BIRNIE. involving a question as
to the right of servants to retain their livery on leaving their
situations. The person who was now charged was named
Thomas Moles, who had formerly been a servant at the Uni-
versity Club-house, and who was charged with having stolen
a quantity of property, amongst which It as his livery-clothes.
The Gentleman, however, who attended on the part of the Gen-
tlemen of the üb, intimated that part of the property had
been since returned, and in consequence of the prisoner's former
high character, and his readiness to enlist on foreign service,
lie was instructed to offer any. criminatory evidence, if the
property was restored. The prisoner readily assented to this
humane proposal.—Sir R. Wuxi r. deeply regretted that a man
like the prisoner, and who had borne so good a previous cha-
racter, should have been so lost as to ruin himself for ever, but
directed an officer to go with him, and see that he complied
with the terms proposed.—The prisoner left the bar with ap-
parent gratitude.
IV. Edwards, one of the night constables belonging to St.
Mary le Strand, was charged with an assault on a watchman.
It appeared, however, from the statement of Edwards, the per.
son accused, that he was in possession of the premises of I%lr.
J. Newton, the Register Office for servants in the Scram), and
who for some days has been ejected the house by artier of Mr.
Adams, the landlord. While Edwards was so employed
a number of persons came to the door, when he sprung
his rattle, and the watchmen instantly collared him, and
lie was conveyed to Saint Martin's watch-house, which was
out of the parts.--The Magistrate said the conduct of the
watchmen was shameful in the extreme, and he should
report their conduct to the parish ; and also advised Edwards,
the constable, to indict the watchmen for false imprisonment.

Thursday night Mr. Secretary PEEL arrived in
London from Brondstairs. Friday the Right
lion. Gentleman was closely engaged in business
at the Home Office. Saturday morning he left
town on a visit to his father, Sir ROBERT PEEL,
at his seat near Tamworth, Staffordshire.

occasion.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.---A young man, named
Joseph Wilson, in the employ of Mr. Bellamy, the newsventler,
went on an excursion yesterday, in a chaise-cart, with two
friends, to Edgeware. On their arrival at a part of the
road where there are no houses, he, by some means,
lost possession of the reins, fell out of the chaise, and the
wheel passing over his face and eyes, he was lacerated in so
dreadful a manner as to leave no hopes of recovery.
As the people were leaving Church yesterday
the inhabitants of Chancery-lane were alarmed
by a heavy crash by the falling of one of the
houses adjoining to where the late disastrous fire
took place. The hove was uninhabited, owing
to its dangerous situation. The adjoining houses
are in a similar situation.
