was to make a public statement on the sut:itet, so that it
might obtain the publicity given to the other am unt-

Mr. MURRAY said lie had a perfect recolleetia n
cof the
Mr. Jenkins who was brought before him under th,,) Ott
stances detailed in the report, and he had no hesit tation
saying that he did not bear the slightest, resemblant '0 t 9 ill'
applicant.
Applicant—The report deseribed the Mr. Jenkin who
was brought before your Worship, and fined ss. for .b eing
drunk, as being a grave-looking man, with his hair et m bed
down over his forehead.
Mr. MURRAY again repeated that the man allud ict I to
was quite a different person from the applicant, and b of )ed,
for the sake of the latter, that the misconception as t o his
having appeared at that office in the character of a keen-
klant would be explained by the mode which he had at inpted
for the purpose, and that it would satisfy the minds of !those
who were doubtful on the point.
The applicant having thanked the Magistrate, then. : with-
drew with the friends who accompanied him to the o ice.
In the course of the day two persons presented them-
selves as bail for the appearance of GrobQker and I d oore,
committed a few days ago from this office, charged . with
conspiring to defraud. Mr. Grainge of property t o the
amount of. nearly 6001. The Magistrate (Mr. TR A: ILL),
however, rejected the bail of the parties, in consequent le of
the unsatisfactory answers which they gave as tq their
responsibility.

NEW STREET FROI WAT
BRIDGE.

Yesterday a deputation from the parish of St. Paul, Ccvent-
garden, consisting of the rector, the Rev. G. Bowers, Messrs.
Read and Walker, the Churchwardens, the Vestry Clerk, and
several gentlemen belonging to the Paving Committee and
Board of Guardians for the Poor, waited by appoint meat on
Lord Granville Somerset, Chief Commissioner of IA roods and
Forests, at the office in Whitehall-place, for the pi.trpo se of
remonstrating with his Lordship on the de2ay which, had' taken
place in opening the proposed line of street from the St rand,
at Waterloo-bridge, through Charles-street, Bow-street. &e.,
and to state the inconvenience and loss to which that delay

had given rise.
Lord G. SOMERSET received the deputation in the most
courteous manner, and, having requested them to bss seated,
proceeded to say, that being aware of the object they bad in
view, he had made the necessary inquiries, and having bail an
Interview that morning with some of the parties cone, rued in
the works, the result was, that the opening between ) Exeter-
street and York-street would he immediately undertakes 1, to the
extent of 35 feet, and he had been assured that it w( tuld be
completed by the 31st of the present month.
The VESTRY CLERK said, that although the immedi 'late ob-
ject of the deputation was the opening in question, yitt they
had also to complain of the delay as regarded the inters sts of
the householders and traders in the immediate n&ghbotar hood.
He was quite sure that his Lordship would do the pas.* is ,h the
justice to say, that they had not complained without cause.
The Bill which authorized the undertaking had pans ed the
House of Commons five years ago, and his Lordship wog uld be
good enough to recollect, that public works of a much more
extensive nature, such us the Great Western and the L ondon
and Birmingham Railways, were engaged to be compls ted in
little more than half the time already consumed in the p resent
undertaking. The new street leading from the Mansio a--house
to London-bridge would be completed in eighteen nam oths, al-
though the undertaking comprised several extensive buildings.
Lord G. SOMERSET replied, that the delay complained of
was not owing to any remsssness in the department ovi tr which
he now presided, but might be attributed to the fact that the
greater part of the property involved in the undertaking- did net
belong to the Crown, but to private individvals, who of course
had their own interests to look to. He was quite away e that
the Woods and Forests might have exercised the legal power
they possessed of compelling the owners of property in I he line3
of street marked out to come at once to terms, but that Was
power which they did not wish to exercise unless in, an ex-
treme case.
Mr. YOUNG, of the firm of Black and Young, book sellers,
said, that his house immediately adjoined the proposeci open"
ing, and he could bear testimony.to the fact, that from :the lay
passable state of the street in that direction, a dead robber,
had been sustained by all the retail shopkeepers in the neigh;
bourhood. He hoped that the opening, when effected, wouhi
be made passable for foot passengers, otherwise the evil wouw
not be abated.
Lord G. SOMERSET replied, that as soon as the openings
made, a pavement would be laid down.

were pulled down, to make way fo:

the street had been coal;
what were called

pletely destroyed, and the inhabitants ha,.! now nothing in b
but Exeter-hall, a new theatre, and a new t2lture. h•
Mr. WALKER, one of the overseers, was
the attention of his Lordship to the upper part ate
which be would say was in a most disgusting Bow-stre

state. It was a very great thoroughfare for carriages plas3l4-b,
to and from the theatres, ana unless an opening were epees',,
effected, by removing the corner house, lately in the occur;
tion of Mr. Houlditch, the coach-builder, he should net
wonder if some serious accidents took place. At precept tbaai

description. ce
Lord G. SOMERSET said that he was not prepared to og
and ;:langerc.)o;
any explanation himself with regard to Bow-street, but 1';
would send for Mr. Milne, the principal surveyor, and I/
doubt he would afford the necessary information.
Mr. MILNE, on being sent for, said that some diffieniti
had arisen in the removal of Mr. Houlditch's house in eel;
quence of a defect in the title, but he believed the diffetthe
would be very soon removed, and then the house would d
taken down, and a sufficient opening effected. He admtt:o
that an unnecessary delay had taken place, and that the 1130
of street ought to have been completed long since, but .0%
delay was occasioned principally by private individuals holte,
property under the Mir .uis of Exeter and others. He ad' of
that there would be no delay in completing the pavement
Bow-street as soon as the oin should be made. Asp
The VESTRY-CLERK waspen desirousg of asking his Lora
whether it was intended to complete the line of street e""
Hanover-street to Holborn ?
Lord G. SOMERSET replied, that situated as he was, 133%0
so lately entered on the duties of the department, it ceito
hardly be expected that he could give any explanation oa
point. The deputation must be aware that the street e°3oi
not be carried on unless a econsiderable expense, pariica'
as the line embraced very little Crown property.
The deputation were then about to retire, when .„
His LORDSHIP hoped that they felt he had afforded
much information connected with the subject as be Ice
taking into consideration the fact that he wu s but new In tl3l
The deputation then retired, thanking his Lordship 1°-
polite manner in which he had received them.
