THE SUN, LONDON,

manding alms in a very importunate manner. Wit-
ness went up to the prisoner, liked how he dared
to annoy gentlemen, and told him to be off about his
business. The prisoner refused to move away, and
told him to go to —. lie also called the gentleman a
d—d thief and a mean humbug. Witness then tuck
him to the station.

The prisoner, who hp.s been repeatedly convicted
for begging, said he was so drunk that he could not
recollect anything at all about it.
Mr. HaßnwicK committed him to the House of
Correction for one month.

Cornelius Connor, a fellow belonging to a gang of
" mouchers," was charged with uttering a counterfeit
shilling.
Air. William Rupell, landlord of the Cambrian
Tavern, Castle-street, Leicester-square, stated that at
ten o'clock last night the prisoner came into his house
and called for a half-pint of beer, in payment for
which he tendered what appeared to be a new shilling.
On witness looking at it he detected it to be a coun-
terfeit. He asked prisoner where he got it from.
He replied that he had just received it from Ben
Caunt, in payment for a bunch of onions. On wit-
ness saying that he would go to Caunt's and inquire
into the truth of his statement, the prisoner admitted
that he did not get the money at Caunt's, but that a
gentleman had given it to him. He then gave him
in charge.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the
coin being bad, was remanded till Saturday.

APPLICATIONS FOR MUSIC AND
DANCING LICENSES.-(THIS DAY.)

There was a very numerous attendance of magis-
trates assembled in quarter sessions, to determine the
several applications for the renewal of existing licenses
for music and dancing within the county of Middle-
sex, and also to receive new applications for licenses.
—Mr. Pownall in the chair.
The greater number of the applications for renewals
were unopposed.
Upon the application of Mr. Peter Snow for the
renewal of the license granted last year to the St.
John Tavern, commonly known as Lord's Cricket
Ground, being laid before the Court,
Mr. Hector Rose said, complaints had been made
by the clergyman who usually officiated at burials in
the burial ground adjacent to Lord's Cricket Ground,
that the music so close by disturbed in a painful
degree the solemnity which should characterise the
funeral service, part of which was occasionally inaudible
in consequence. He (Mr. Rose) would suggest to
Mr. Snow, that as the funeral bell commences tolling
at three o'clock, he should prevent any music from
that hour until such time as it ceased.

Mr. Snow said he begged to state distinctly, that
no music had been performed at Lords' Cricket-
ground during the whole of this season, and, conse-
quently, latterly, the annoyance complained of could
not have been inflicted. However, he should use
every precaution to avoid even in the slightest degree
interfering with the burial-ground.
The renewal was then granted unahimously.
John Dobson applied for a renewal for the Cathe-
rine-wheel Tavern, Great Windmill-street.
Mr. Ballantine appeared in support of the appli-
cation, and called James Isaacs to prove the service of
the necessary notices upon the clerk of the peace,
churchwardens, &c. Upon being sworn,
Mr. Isaacs said he served seven or eight notices
upon four or five persons, but could not tell their
names, or in what capacity they acted.
Mr. Dobson was called, but knew no more of the
names or official capacities of those upon whom notices
had been served than the last witness.

Mr. Ballantine said they thought they could manage
the affair in the beginning themselves, without
the aid of a lawyer, and the consequence was that
they made a regular mess of it.
The CHAIRMAN was himself perfectly satisfied that
the service of the notice required by law had not
been proved, and as the Court was unanimously of
the same opinion, the application for a renewal must
be refused.—The license was therefore suspended.
On the application of ➢lr. John Savage, landlord
of the Grapes Tavern, Compton-street, Soho, for a
renewal,

The ChTAIBMAN said the clergyman of St. Anne's
Church, Soho, had complained that much annoyance
and pain was caused to the relatives and friends of
deceased parties, who were being buried in the ground
attached to the church, by the sounds of music and
singing proceeding from the applicant's house, which
abutted closely upon the churchyard. He trusted
Mr. Savage would not let this hint be lost upon him.
Mr. Savage said he should attend to the suggestion,
and the application was granted.
