LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Right Hon. J. E. LAW, Recorder.)
To-day was appointed for the sitting of this court, and
an unusual number of cases were on the list, in conse-
quence of the last court day not having been observed,
through a special Court of Aldermen having been called,
which the Learned Recorder had to attend. Some in-,
convenience having. arisen therefrom,
His LORDSHIP expressed his regret that the counsel
had been incommoded by the sitting, and he would have
avoided it if possible, but the intimation did not come in
time. This was not an adjourned, but a callendar sit-
ting, so that all persons interested might have been aware
of it for some months. His Lordship said 13 causes had
been set down for hearing, but only two would be heard.
Probably, after the proceedings had been commenced, the
parties bad been brought to their senses.
The two cases, which were of no public interest, and
which did not occupy the Court ten minutes, having been
disposed of, the jury complained of being unnecessarily
detained. It appeared that, under the form or the sum-
mons, they were required to attend at ten o'clock ; but
there is a " N. B." at the foot, ‘• attend at a quarter to
eleven precisely." The" pains and penalties" hinted at
in the body of the summons brought most of the jurors
at least an hour before the time, as his Lordship did not
sit till eleven o'clock, and then eighteen jurymen were
called before twelve were found, many others being kept
in waiting, although the cases alt3gether did not last ten
minutes.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.)
John Pivot, a beershop-keepor, was charged with
committing an asmult on Thomas Edwards, a harp
player.

The complainant, who exhibited a black eye, stated
that he was a musician, and was engaged to play at a
ball given on the preceding night at the " General Aber-
cromby," in Suffolk-street. In the course of the night
it was proposed that a collection should be made in the
room for the musician, and the defendant voluntarily
undertook the task of collecting the money. When this
was finished the defendant handed over some money
short of the subscription, and this being observed by
some of the company, it was commented on in pretty
sharp terms ; when the defendant, irritated that his
character for honesty should be impeached, immediately
proceeded to wreak his vengeance on the unfortunate
harp player, whom he attacked and beat in a very violent
mariner. A policeman was called, and the assailant was
given into custody.
The defendant was fined 205., and in default of pay-
ment was committed for 14 days.
Mary Ann Davis was charged with wilfully breaking
a valuable pier-glass in the Equestrian Coffee-house, next
the Surrey Theatre.
It appeared that the defendant, on the preceding
night, went into the above house, and called for some
liquor. After taking it she went over to the glass, and
with her fist broke it in pieces. She was then given into
custody. The most remarkable part of the affair was,
that she did not cut and lacerate her hand. The value
of the glass was at least 2L 10s.

Mr.SECKER adjudged the defendant to pay that
amount, and in default of payment committed her to
prison.

MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY).
John Roberts, proprietor of the Suls' Arms, Hamp-
stead-row, appeared to answer to a summons issued
against him, for refusing to receive five soldiers of the
3d Infantry, that were billeted on him by Sergeant
Richard Daniel, 12 S.

Mr. Roberts C,-,mplained of there being no names
given in with the billet. He urged that he was respoia-
sible for the acts of the inmates of his house, and
yet if any of these men committed any offence,
he had no means of ascertaining their names.
He thought it was a very loose way of billeting soldiers,
without affording the publicans anything like a descrip-
tion of the men thus foisted upon them. In this par-
ticular instance he had no accommodation for them, and
had offered them five shillings, but they had demanded
ten shillings.

„
Mr. LoNG was of opinion that Mr. Roberts was not
justified in offering any fixed sum, as he was bound
either to take them in, or provide them with lodging
elsewhere. However, he agreed with him in considering
that, as a responsible person, he was entitled to have
the names of the parties billeted upon him, and he
t should, therefore, dismiss the summons.

ORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Lawson, a japanner, &e., of No. 10, Watt's Build-
ngs, liing►sland-road, charged one of his workmen,
named Williams, with the following gross assault :--
Mr. Lawson stated, that at about five o'clock yesterday
afternoon the prisoner, who was somewhat the worse
for liquor, opened the door of the countinghouse in
which he was engaged in writing, and demanded of him
some money. Witness perceiving the state he was in,
refused, and advised the prisoner to go home. The
latter, however, continued to importune him, and
witness at length removed the prisoner's hand from
the handle of the door, for the purpose of closing it.
The prisoner immediately pounced upon him, and they
fell to the ground together. Witness called loudly for
assistance, and two others of his workpeople came, but
before their arrival his shirt and clothing were literally
torn to ribbons. The prisoner was now secured, and
upon the arrival of the police he was given into their
custody. It took four policemen an hour to get him to
the station house.
Mr. BINGIIAM fined him 103. or one month's im-
prisonmen t.

An individual of respectable exterior, and who said
he was a wine merchant, was fined 30s. for assaulting
Mr. Inspector Pascoe at the station-house.. The de-•
fendant, who was extremely tipsy, it appeared offered
himself as bail for a person who had committed an assault.
The defendant, however, being in such a state his
bail was refused, and he struck the inspector. The lat-
ter offered to look over the assault if he would go
quietly home; he, however, became so violent that he
was obliged to detain him.
The defendant acknowledged the justness of the Ma-
gistrate's decision, and having paid the fine he quickly
vithdrew.
