MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Two warrants, of a very remarkable nature, are in-
coursc of execution by the police. The first relates to
the well-known Mr. Gundry, of the Albany, against whom
a warrant has been out upwards of three weeks, for as-
saulting the housekeeper of a gentleman resident in the
Albany. Mr. Gundry has completely set the police and
the law at defiance. He has in a manner made a regular
fortification of his house, and has engaged a number of
rough fellows to keep watch at the door, and to prevent
any attempt of the police to capture him. Mr. Gundry
has had his street door furnished with a new chain, and
he will only allow the door to be opened by himself,
when his meals are brought to him from a neighbouring
tavern. One of his chief myrmidons is a sweeper of a
crossing, who has abdicated his broom, and now struts in
a fine livery, Frovided by Mr. Gundry. Mr. Gundry's
trustworthy body-guard was sent with a 51. note some
days back to get changed ; the man has found his task
so difficult that he has not as yet made his appearance.
The proceedings of the men hired by Mr. Gundry—
drinking and smoking short pipes in the place—have
