Mr. Marsh, of Ludgate-street, told his Lordship
that he thotlght'the Pavement 'about the Mansion_
house was much worse than his ,door ‘t'as, the day

very much aggrieved. • •
The Loki) M.Avott told- him, the City P4role

payment for serving the summonses, as the 'Penalty,
by the Aft of Parliament, was dirdied otherwise,

doors they would be summoned,-. he was deter-
mined to enforce this At, for. the credit of the
city of London, not only in frosty weather -but in
wet, and said if -any body- could 'prove that ate
Mansion.hmise was not swept, and scraped every
morning, he would fine his Porter, and sent for him

Several Informations•were brought against shop.
keepers for selling Narbon Honey, supposing it
to be a mixture, and sold as a medicine to cure
colds, &c.

Mr. Wood stated, that he brought forward th:s
and some other Informations at the desire of the'
Commissioners, of the- Stamp Office, and read the
clause in this. Act, which he thought was sufficicng
to ground these Informatigns
The Defendants cantended, that this Honey was
genuine, as it came from abroad and called two
or three persons conversant icr the article, who alt
declared they thought it without aril, mixture.

.The.LoRD,MYOR begged one of the Gentlemen
of the Household, whais. a Medical Gentleman, to
try this'in a tumblerOf water ;. whicli,he did, and
declared it to be without mixture; upon' which
Mr. Wood.give' up' the information,_

.Yesterday Ann LlV'd was brought before the
Lem o MAyott, charged on suspicion of having cam-,
miffed a btirglary in the house of Mr. Bish, No. 4.,
COrnhill.. Mr. Bish stated, that. he had been to
spend the evening in Grosvenor. Place with his fa-
o
mily; and returned about three 'clock this morn_
ing : they sat a short-time in the dining-room af-
ter ..heir return, and then retirecito rest. He ob-
servedat that time every thing was safe on the
side-board; In the morning he was aldrmed by
one of his servants, who told him the house had
been lloirc 6nen, • and a great many articles stolen.
On Mr.kioldswolth
Mr.r.Canner, the City Marshals, who, with 'proper
assiliants, went- to Mr. Bish's house, and after ex..
amining the door through which it was alledged the
robbers, had retired, they discovered the lock had
been fal/2.eri off in the inside. . MF. Holdsworth ob-
_
.served, that the robbers, -whoever they were; must
have broken :out, and ,began, to:examine the servants
to discover if tier were; concerned, . when the FL
soner seemed much •conftised, in consequence of
which her • 'loxes. were searched, and in them were
found several bottle§ of wine, ale, &c. and a great
quantity of candles;
,soap, arld other articles, which
Mr. Bish identified as his property. '
A young man, servant to Mr. .Bish, was also ex..
arnined, as it appeared that the Prisoner had been
washing his clothes, contrary to, the.pogitive orders-
of her mistress; , but when she found the City Mar..
shall were in the house,'she secreted ten pair. of his
stoekings, several shirts, 84-c-. On this intimacy be..
tween the two servants, his Lordship thought it ad-
visable. to commit both to the Poultry Compter, and
kept separately, for a future examination. The young
man denied any knowledge ,of the robbery.

.Mr. Holdsworth, the City Marshal, brOught
two miserable,looking Children, the one abciut ten
years old, and. the other eight, whom he foundiast
night near: the Exchange begging. The
,poor
children were almost naked, and exhibited a most
Wretched appearance. Mr. floldsworth said, it is
the pralice of -the Parents of these 'children, of
,whom there are a great number wandering about
the streets, that if they do not bring home a cer-
tain sum every night, they are abused and unmer.
cifully beat.
The children said, their parents, lived in Shore..
ditch,_ and that their father
.is a coppersmith, and
is at 'present out of work, and that sometimes they
have'bread ro-eat, and' at others went without.--
His lon:Wily ordered thein to be taken care of for
the preSent,,,,anddireded that an Officer should
sent to the parents to bring them before him.' •
