TOO MUCH WINE.

BOW...STnuT.—Yesterdny four young men who were very,
fashionably dressed, and who were said to be of highly respect,
able rank, were brought up to this office front St. Martin's
watch-houses charred with committing divers. assaults and:
other acts of disorder, at three o'clock In the morning, in New-
street, Covent-garden. Three of the young gentlemen had
given their names at the watch-house, John Jones, John Ham-.
ineralcy, and Thomas Anderson, while the fiturth appeared in.
.the Constabls as r,Lord Levison (lower, of Grosvcnor.square."r
Th 6 principal complainant was a watchman of New-street,.
who having with a woeful countenance described the great
hardships he and his brethren in that street had to put
up with, it being " the most noisiest and troubleekomest
street in all Westminster ;" he proceeded to state that after
being a-foot through the live long night, arid worried tend
teased almost to death by queer people of all sorts, he'
beet . Just retired his box.. ter a few enlimecaeseet,e w !leer
he heard " the devils own row coming- down on his side
the way. He just. Popped out his head to bid there gr, pm-Tr:V.7
to theirbecis, but his bidding was stopped by the fist of a young
roan who was running ty,. coming slash m contact wall his
teeth. Other watchmen were following the assailant, who a few
yards further on fell down very lumpy, and hutted himself
aguirst the stones.
Other watchmen stated, that the four defendants, two of
whom were most particularly drunk, cam© rolling down New-
street, and meeting a gentleman, one of them gave him a slap
in the face and ran away. The watchmen pursued him, and
saw him salute the first watchman with the compliment ha had
described.. Ile was very drunk and fell down. The other three
interfered with n view to rescue him, and his Lordship was par-
ticularly active in the fray. They were equally noisy and va-
liant at the watchehouse.
The defendanta had but little to say. The young man who
fell down was in a pitiable plight. His face was bruised, one
of his eyes blackened, and it was said he had received so much
internal iejUrras to came a spitting of blood. He it appeared,
and his Lordship were, what le termed toad drunk, and deter-
mined upon mischief; and the other two, though not so " far
gone," were almost equally pugnacious.. They did not deny
the charge, but placed them to the account of " too much
wine," 'rho gentleman who had bestowed a Peerage upon hint-
self readily admitted that he had no claim to the title of Gower,
but did not tell his own name.

_.....-
Mr. Mlxsuutt. told.them they had placed themselves in a
very foolish situation by taking " too tutsch wine," and they
must now put up with the consequences. By the bye they must
understand that" too much wine" was no excuse for the com-
mission of, an outrage. He had no objection to their settling
the matter with the watchmen.
This we understand was done by the transfer of a tolerable
round sum from the pockets of the defendants to those of the
watchmen.

ancstite very respectably Mrs. Younglon, the wife
respectably connected, re-

yid ing at 67, Heath-street, in the parish of Stepney, was brought
before Mr. WYATT and Mr. Hanbevicx, by the overseers of
that parish, under the following singular circurnstaices :
Mr. Meltby, one of the overseers, said, that on Monday last
I%lrs. Youngman brought a female child about 7 mouths old, to
the workhouse, stating that she had found it that morning in
her garden, and denied, in the most positive terms, that she
kliew anything further of the child except finding it in the
garden. On her representation .the child was taken into the
workhouse; and on making further inquiry into the ear-se and
from the information he had received, he had every reason to
believe that Mrs. Youngson knew who the parents of the child
were, and endeavoured to conceal them. Under these im-
pressions, he thought it his duty to bring her before their
Worships.
Mrs. 'k'oungson, on being called on to account for thin extra-
ordinary charge, said, that on Monday morning, at six o'clock,.
she had occasion to go into her garden, where she found the
child, and with the advice of a watchman, she took it to the
workhouse. This, she said, was all she knew ; but on being
pressed by the magistrates, she admitted that on Saturday last,
a servant that had been in her empioyment about two years
past, came to her house, and had it child -with her about the
same age as that she left at the workhouse, and that she wanted
to remain with her all night; but not having sufficient acconi.
modation, she got a lodging in the .neighbourhood. She also
admitted that she came again at a late hour on Sunday night,
When her husband allowed her to remain ip the house all night,
and she was gone early in the morning.
The person in whose house she stopped on 'Saturday night,
proved the child to be the same that slept with its mother at
her house, . anti that the mother told her that it belonged .to
Daniel Mini, the brother of Mrs. Youngeon.
Mr. flannw lock said, that it was perfectly clear that Mrs.
Youngson had withothere concerted to defraud the parish,. and
that she was entirely at the mercy of the overseen, who might,
if they thought proper, indict her at the sessions for the fraud.
-Under such eieetunstaneem' he should considet it his duty to
bold, her to bail; but understanding that such was not their
intention,, he would therefore order Mrs. Youngson to take
the as she *AS bound 'to take eery of it until the parents
were fouud.• .
