seated on the bench in this receptacle, one of
the defendants thought proper to undignify himself
by speaking disrespectfully of the civic functionaries,
and even omitted to do justice to the Lord Mayor
himself, whom he had the audacity to describe as a
gentleman not at all unlikely to supply the streets with
night crawlers, as he had seen some guests issue from
the Mansion-house a short time previously in the
opposite direction, who appeared to be more fit for a
bed than a battle. No notice was taken of this sally,

found that there was more fun than danger in the ac-

Under all the circumstances, however, it was thought
proper to oblige the defendants to appear before the
Lord Mayor.
The defendant who had had the pleasing accident
alluded to, regretted much that the young lady bad

' their reasons for wishing to meet with drunken rather
than with sober gentlemen. He did not think that
he succeeded in his attempt to inflict a kiss, for theL
moment he perceived that the little exordium Two
unwelcome to the young lady he fell back into the,
arms of the police.
The young lady shook her head, an action which
testified that her lips had been profaned. The de-1
fendant, shocked at this intimation, very heartilk'
besought forgiveness.

The second defendant most heartily begged pardon
of the chief magistrate, of the lady, of the constable,
and of the police.

The LORD MAYOR was sorry to find that two per-.
sons, who had so much the appearance and manners of
gentlemen, should be of that caste whose conduct com-
pelled the legislature to rack their brains in devising
remedies for curing the vice of drunkenness. His
lordship thought that the gentleman who carried the:
pistol would act much more prudently in trusting to
his heels, which he would find would perform their
office much better in case of attack than any other oft
his limbs. (Loud laughter.) The defendants were
then each fined ss. for being drunk, and discharged.

BO W-STREET.
John Mills, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 216,
attended on a summons, charged with having on Wed-
nesday last, by wanton and negligent driving, run
against a chaise cart, thereby causing a serious accident
to a man named Jeremiah Woorston, who was driving
the same at the time.

He was remanded to the lock-up, and will be again
brought up on Saturday next.
Mr. Bush, the proprietor of the Adelaide steamer, a
small vessel which occasionally plies between Hunger-
ford-market and Greenwich, and to which the water-
men at those places have evinced frequent hostility,
applied on Saturday for warrants against certain
watermen plying at Hungerford-wharf, for a violent
outrage committed by them on Thursday.
Mr. Bush on his return from a trip to Greenwich
on the above evening with a number of passengers on
board his boat, was surprised to find that several boats
had been moored off the •end of a floating pile run out
from the quay of the market, by which his passengers
were enabled to land, so as to prevent any communi-
cation with the shore. He desired the watermen to
remove their boats, to which, however, he only got an
insolent reply, that their boats had as much right
there as his. He repeated his request, and remon-
strated with them on their conduct, but was again
edtdoo doit doing

assailed with abuse. He then ordered his steersman
to direct his vessel in such a way as to part the boats

water-
men suddenly drew from about their persons a number
of ironshod bludgeons, with which they made a violent
attack upon his vessel, swearing they would sink it,
and batter in its sides. He repeatedly ordered them
to stand off, but without avail, and they continued to
batter the sides of the steamer, until they at length
succeeded in breaking it in in many places, to the in-
finite alarm of the passengers, and detriment to big
boat. After a time he succeeded in landing his pas-
sengers, and the men dispersed.
Mr. MiNsntiLL suggested that the better course
would be to proceed against the men' for the wilful
damage they had committed, by which damages to the
amount of 51. could be recovered.
Mr. Bush coincided in the opinion of the worthy
m .gistrate, and warrants were immediately issued.
