OLD BAlLEY—('lams DAY.)

At the Sitting of the Court this day thirty-
three prisoners were discharged, there being no bills against
them, and both the Middlesex and London thand Juries hay.
ing bean discharged.
CURIOUS CASR.—Jor:ph Salmon was again put to the Bar,,
on an indicttnent charging him with stealing 34 pain of boots,
the property of Elizabeth Crawley. This prisoner has been
a:reigned every day during the Sessions, but the prosecutrix
never answered. In consequence of this the Recorder ordered
be: recognizances to be estreated, and directed that when she
moved for a respite he should see her himself personally. The
boots were then directed to be given over to the pawnbroker,
there being no evidence before the Court that they ware not the
property of the prisoner.
George Davie: stood indicted for stealing from the person of
John Baxter a watch, its appendages, and divers pieces of
vet money. The parties met at Bow Fair, and the prosecutor
having got intoxicated, the prisoner took him on his back,
when he availed himself of the opportunity and rubbed him.
The property, however, had been returned.
The Jury found him guilty of stealing from the person, hut
not with force and violence. In consequence of the good elle.
recta he received, the Jury recommended hitn to mercy, which
the Recorder said should be attended to.

AUCTIONSERING PHRASEOLOGY.—Somp recent
catalogues and printed particulars of the Knights
of the Hammer tutve been very curious.—Placards,
a short time since, headed Sale q'a Nobleman,'
left many to deplore the ineffectual attempt to
abolish the traffic in human beings, and that such
a sale should take place in the most public market in
the metropolis. In a catalogue, 4 A Green Man's
Goal,' and ' An Elegant, Ladies' Shawl," seemed
to show that the pressure of the times affected all

Tits Humousts or WIII3KEY.—On Sunday
evening, Some countrymen, from the neighbourhood of ICI-
. marony, in the Queen's County, after attending a funeral, ad.
journed to a public house m this town, where, warmed by
the too liberal use of checy, IMiskry, they entered into an
altercation, which ended in a tight. The Chief Constable
of Police, Captain BATTERSDY, hearing of' the row, sent
word to the publican to turn the parties out, which he not
being able to do, Mr. BATTER3BY went himself to the
scene of action, accompanied by one or two of the constables,
who were set upon by the entire belligerents— followed into the
street—and severely beaten, for having interfered betwc,en
friend:. Were it not for some gentlemen of the town, and a
few of the yeomanry, who came to the assistance of the Police,
there would have been very serious work : However, three of the
principals were taken and lodged in jail, where after a night's
sleep, and a little sober reflection, they because cot v:ne:ti
of their error, and have be:n admitted to bail. We him great
pleasure in stating, that there was no party feeling wha%ver in
this affray ; and though Captain Dettersby had a tooth knot:kid
out, he very good naturedly places it to the amount of those
new regulations in the Excise Laws, by which %V hiekey h.s
become so comateble.—(Carlow 3fon.ing Post, Oct. 23.)

PUBLICANS AND INFORM:EI.—The Johnsonitsn
fraternity have commenced a new system of ex-
tortion against the puldicu'is, in consequence of
the disrepute into which their informations have
latterly fallen with the Police Magistrates. The
practice now is, two of those fellows go into a
house and call for Lquor, and then accuse the
landlord or attendant of having served it con-
trary to the provisions of the Act, threaten him
with information, and ut the same time hint at a
compromise, which in some instances has very
foolishly been agreed to. A case of this nature oc-
curred at a respectable licensed victuallet's house
Oxford-street,iu on Saturday last. Two men w eta

in, and brought steaks, which were cooked for din
ter, agreeably to desire; they then called for porter
and gin, of which they amok pretty freely ; and
on settling the bill, observed to the landlady (her
husband was from home) that she had incurred
the penalty under the Publicans' Act, by serving
spirits in glasses in place of the measure. The
woman assured them, that if it had been brought to
them in that manner, it was contrary to the mph.
tion of the house, and was entirely owing to
the negligence of the servant. This apology,
however, did not seem to satisfy their nice
sense of justice, and a bribe was hinted
at, which would save not only the infliction of a
full penalty, but prevent the inconvenience and
loss of time attendant on being "pulled up."__
The woman fearing the result of an intorma.
tion, was on the eve of compliance, when
her husband fortunately arrived, and being in,
formed of the circumstances, instead of crouch•
ing to the fellows, set them at defiance,
and instantly sent for a constable to take them
before a magistrate on a charge of extortion.—
This firm and manly conduct had the desired
effect, as the fellows took occasion. to sneak ofl
before the arrival of the eflicers.
