for Mr. Stonebouse, but they were not quite satisfied who
was the party entitled to them. Mr. Hammond was,
therefore, to retain the deeds, and merely show them. A

authorizing him to deliver the deeds to Mr, Tyrrell., upon

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BARKER.
This information, filed by the Rev. Mr. Hand, relates to
a free grammar school at Wilton, in Cheshire. Mr, Knight,
for Mr. Hand, who is master of the school, now moved
that 450/., his arrears of salary, and his yearly stipend of
1501., henceforth should be paid to hiin pending the infor-
mation. This case Wag of tks iiitkch importance to the
public as to the individual for whom he moved. In the
country these,?, thatitieS were conducted by local trustees,
and if there was any misconduct in the management of the
charity, the schosimaster was the most likely person to
come at tle knowledge of it. But if he was kept
under the terror of being deprived of his salary, the effect
would be to stop all proceedings and make the trustees
irresponsible. Here the master alleges breaches of trust,
and Claims to be entitled to a larger salary than 1501.
The trustees, however, who make no case whatever
against him, say, you ,may take the consequences and they
stop his salary, for the purpose of pressing him to silence.
These trustees paid Mr. Hand his salary from 1825 to
1831, and in 1832 they acted him at first his, salary 'of
1501., but on his refliting to give a receipt their
own terms, thty resolved to withhold fifty !hailer payment.
Tttis said there Were mod reasons why the trustees
should withhold the salary. After the Learned Counsel
had ent'ereA Into the nature of the information, whereby
tilt real dispute appeared mainly to relate to the appoint.

His HONOUR observed that the motion must be granted,

SURREY SESSIONS-WtMESDAY.

•TikilhAttNlNG LETTERS.
John Yo etit was indicted for having written and sent
certain letters to Lady Grey, of Woodmansterne, threaten.-
ing to burn kind destroy some ricks, unless she discharged
from her service William Jarratt, her servant.
Lady Grey had received two threatening letters, one on
the loth of September, and the other on the morning of
the 22d, both of which were brought to her by her servants.
A letter in a similar handwriting had been addressed to her
before, but, being informed that it was a begging letter, she
refused to take it in, and it was returned to the Post Office.
The property threatened to be destroyed consisted of bay,
clover, and corn. She knew the prisoner by sight, but
never spoke to him but once.

George Hodgkinson, butler to Sir Charles Grey, was ex-
amined, and said that Norris was in his master's service from
the last week in April to the 30th of October. He remem-
bered taking one of the letters, and placing it on Lady Grey's
breakfast table, He recollected finding, on the 22d Septem-
ber, another letter, which was taken up to Lady Grey by the
lady's maid. The letter seemed to be written with a steel
pen with a very fine point. An officer came down from
Union Hall, and the next day all the servants upon the esta-
blishment were requested to write the most peculiarly spelt
words in the letter. Norris wrote those words four times over
during that day and the next ; the writing and spelling of
the words corresponded with those in the letter. The pri-
soner having been asked if he had any writing paper, said,
that during his residence at Lady Grey's he had but one
sheet of paper, which he bought at Tooting, but it was dis-
covered that he had purchased three sheets at Carshalton,
on one of which he said he wrote a letter, directed to his
sister in London, and the two others he sent to a young
woman of the name of Matthews, in order to make her pay
double postage for them. On Sunday last, witness went to
a shed in which the prisoner was in the habit of sleeping, in
which he found some red wafers of the same size as those
in the letter.

William Jarratt, the head gardener of Sir Charles Grey,
deposed, that it was he who hired the prisoner as under
gardener, and that previously to the 9th of September, he
mentioned to the prisoner that he must leave the service of
Sir Charles Grey on the 19th of September. He gave the
prisoner this notice of warning merely on the score of his
incapacity. This witness corroborated the evidence of the
other witnesses as to the similarity of the prisoner's hand-
writing and the writing in the letter.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
THEATRICAL AND MUSIC LICENSES.

On the application of Mr. Jemmett, renewed licences
were granted to the Royal Surrey Theatre, to Astley's
Royal Amphitheatre, and to the Victoria.
A license was also granted to the St. Helena Tea Gar-
dens at Rotherhithe.

The Learned Counsel applied on the part of John Hub-
bard for an original license to allow music and dancing at
the Leather Warehouse Tavern, New Weston-street, Ber-
mondsey.
Mr. HEDGER, the magistrate, opposed it, on the ground
that he had not received proper notice of the application.
Dlr. BUCKLE, another magistrate, asked if it was not legal
to hold concerts at Inns by private subscription? Mr. Jem-
mett said that if there were tickets issued and stewards ap-
pointed, concerts and dancing might take place at inns pro-
vided no money was taken at the doors.

Mr. BUCKLE said that the present application was made
to enable the applicant to take money at the doors. He
would therefore oppose it.

Colonel CHAU:O'NEIL had maturely considered the sub-
ject of granting licenses to open places for the amusement
of the people, and when he reflected on the progress of im-
provement in the education of the people during the last
twenty years, he thought that laws passed twenty years ago
were not the best to govern the people now. He had been
in many countries, and this was the only one in which the
people were debarred of innocent amusements. Amuse-
ments in this country were either so expensive, or clogged
with so many difficulties, that the lower orders were pre-
vented from enjoying them. Unless a good case was made
out against the granting of music and dancing licenses, he
would always support such applications. Great inconveni-
ence had arisen in those parishes in which Clergymen had
prevented the people from playing at cricket after church-
time on Sundays, and the consequence of this was that the
beer-shops were filled with people who, otherwise, would
have been enjoying the healthy and innocent game of cricket.
Mr. WILSON opposed the application, on the ground that
music licenses tended to drive respectable people away from
taverns.

The Bench consisted of sixteen Magistrates, twelve of
whom only voted, five for the application and seven against
it. The license was consequently refused.
The Court sat till between eight and nine o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr: gent* Wheeler) a stock-broker, was summoned
before the Lord Mayor by Mr. Thomas Keogh. Mr.
Keogh, in May last, gave instructions to Mr. Wheeler to
purchase 2,000/. Columbian Bonds, giving at the same
time to him 157/. in cash, which, together with stock which
Mr. Wheeler held of his from other transactions, would, it
was calculated, be sufficient to pay for the bonds. Mr.
Wheeler appointed a certain time for the production of the
Columbian Bonds, but disappointed the complainant, and
finally disappeared altogether from his office and the Stock
Exchange, without giving any satisfaction for the money, or
for the stock originally left in his hands.
Mr. Flower, for Mr. Keogh, said that his client had
employed the defendant in such a manner that the transac-
tion came under Peel's Embezzlement Act.
The LORD MAYOR_What stock had the defendant
from the complainant ? Mr. Keogh—Spanish Bonds.
The LORD MAYOR—Had you ever those Spanish Bonds
in your hands ? Mr. Keogh—No, I never had ; but he
acknowledged to having purchased them for me.
The LORD MAYOR—Oh, then, it was a mere gambling
transaction in which you were both engaged. Pray, did
you ever pay for these Spanish Bonds ?
Mr. Keogh had not paid for them, but repeated that Mr.
Wheeler had enough of Spanish Bonds, his (complainant's)
property, to purchase, in conjunction with the 1751., the
Columbian Stock. The defendant had received the Spa-
nish Bonds on his account.
Mr. Wheeler said that Mr. Keogh's representation was a
most gross falsehood. It was very true they had transac-
