GUILD.HALL.

A person named .Mayne appeared yesterday on a sum-
mons granted at the instance of Wyatt, the common in-
former, for an infringement of the excise laws, by selling
spirits without a license.
The circumstances of the case were rather singular.
The defendant kept a brothel, and the witness went there,
accompanied by a female, and was shown into one of the
apartments, when he called for a glass of brandy and
water, with which he was supplied at a charge of 2s. a
glass, about four times the price required in a public-
house. The witness stated that the practice of persons
keeping houses similar to that of the defendant, selling
spirits, had become so general that he could point out at
least thirty such places in the immediate neighbourhood
of that against which he informed.
Mr. HUMPHREY, on behalf of the defendant, after cross-
examining the witness at great length, contended that
the information could not be entertained by the Alder-
man, because it should be laid either by the officers
of the Excise, or by her Majesty's Solicitor or Attorney-
General.

Sir P. LAURIE, however, entertained a different opi-
nion, and said houses such as those kept by the defend-
ant, under ordinary circumstances, were nuisance enough.
If the sale of spirits was allowed in them, the conse-
quences would be frightful. The law enacted the in-
fliction of a penalty not less than 5/. nor above 201., for
every such offence. As this was the first case of the
kind that came before him, he should inflict the lesser
penalty.
Two sweeps, named Newman and Cannon, were charged
with stealing some cigars from the shop of Mr. Lang-
ton, during his momentary absence from it.
The prisoners pleaded distress.
Sir P. LAURIE said shopkeepers did not observe suffi-
cient caution in exposing their goods so carelessly in
the streets, while there were so many unfortunates
walking the streets in a state of starvation. By
and bye a policeman would be necessary for each trades-
man's door,

The prisoners were sentenced to fourteen days' im-
prisonment.

A Society for Promoting Free Trade has been
formed at Sheffield. The originators of it state tient the
commercial affairs of our country have assumed aal as-
pect truly alarming. That all classes in this once pros-
perous town were suffering great inconvenience, car se-
vere distress—that this distress had not arisen from
trade being conducted upon unsound principles, either
from over-speculation or over-production; and yet, eat the
present time, numbers of manufacturers were rapidly
consuming the hard-earned profits of former years,
while thousands of industrious artisans have long been,
and still are, in utter destitution—the victims of dicease
and want, or keenly suffering with their famili's tlro most
distressing privations. That manucacturers ware suffer-
ing for want of demand—that shoplcc2pers were suffering
for want of customers--that artisans were sufferin g for
want of employment--and that these are chiefly 1-,race-
able to the present scale of Import Duties (high on most
articles, and both high and fluctuating on the paramount
commodity of corn), which have a direct tendency to
check the demand for British goods, and thus ercour ago
other nations to manufacture. It was therefbre resolved
to found an Association, to be called " The Sheffield. So-
ciety for the Promotion of Free Trade." The first
meeting is called for Nov. 15, when Earl Fitzwillim n is
George the Second
expected to be present.
