UNLAWFUL WEIGHTS.-YeSterday Josiah
comb, a butcher, who lives. at No.-12, Lucas-
street, Gray's inn-lane, appeared to a summons
to ans‘ver to an information laid against him by
the Gentlemen wild go round to inspect weights
and measures in the parish of St. Pancras, charg-
ing hint with having an iron pound weight in his
possession, not stamped agreeable to the Act of
Parliament. 'l4e charge being proved, the de-
fendant was convicted in the mitigated penalty of
of 20s. and costs, which- he sternly ielmcd to pay,
in consequence of which. there was an ortkr of
distress issued for his goods and chattels.

Yesterday morning, bet‘veen the hours of 12
and one o'clock, the wine and spirit cellar of the
Neptune public-house, corner of Johnson-street,
Somers Town, was attem;:ted to be broke open.
The depredators had wrenched out the boltsavhich
are placed in the middle of the doors by which
the cross-bar is attached, and also had drawn the
staple or bolt out of time wall to which the said
bar is fastened, when a dog in the house gave the
alarm, and the thieves made their. escape without
being discovered, leaving behind the Marks of the
tools, which appears to be crow-bars. It is only
a few weeks since, that. the water pipes in that
street, and those in Briclgewater-street adjoining,
were close cut off by the.xvall, and all the ball-
cocks, and those in the butts, were carried off,
excepting three or four.wich were prevented by'
a dog giving -the.'alarm, and that dog has
.since
been stolen, no doubt but with:a view to .ensure.!
success in those nocturnal depredations.—lt„ is''
svislied that the watchmeo would not so hastily'go
round their beats, but walk slower, or that they
would-if possible go rskund every halt' hour in-
stead of a whole hour ; for there is no doubt hut
on these occasions time watchmen are taken notice
of when they leave their boxes, and before they
- return that way again the villains have nearly an
hour for their purpose.
