MAR YLEB ONE.

AN INFORMER DEFEATED.—Yesterday Mr.
Combe, of the firm of Combe, Delafield, and Co., the
extensive brewers, appeared to answer an informa-
tion laid against them by a common informer, for
not having the names and address of the firm painted
on two of their drays, as directed by Act of Parlia-
ment.

The informer, who gave his name George Giles,
No. 11, Seymour-street, Bryanston-square, and who
has been several times at this office on similar infor-
mations, stated, that he was educated for the bar,
and was now living on an " independent fortune."
His present designation was that of yeoman.
Mr. RAWLINSoN—You ought to know that there
are no yeomen in London, except the yeomen of
the mouth (the Beefeaters and the Yeomen of the
Guard.)

The'informer then stated on oath, that on the
10th of Sept. he saw two of Messrs. Combe, Dela-
field, and Co.'s drays standing, one in Upper Fitz-
roy-street, and the other was driven into Warren-
street. On examining the two drays, he fonnd the
name of " Combe, Delafield, and Co., Castle-street,
Long Acre," fastened on the front part of each of
them, in the proper place; but not according as
the Act directs, being on cast-iron plates, and not
painted, and that the ground and the letters were of
the same colour, the letters being cast on the plates;
did not know whether the iron was rusted or not ;
can positively swear the letters had no paint on
them; had asked the opinion of several Barristers,
and they informed him that letters written on a cast-
iron ground were contrary to law.
Mr. RAWLINSON would be glad to know the
names of some of these Barristers ; but the informer
did not choose to gratify the worthy Magistrate.
John James Coan (the informer's witness) lives
at. No. 2, Dover-street, Kent-road. Is a lodger,
and his business is that of a cattle-dealer in Smith-
field; he has no cattle to sell at present. He had
forty head of cattle to sell some time back for
his brother-in-law in Suffolk, but must wait till they
get fat, and then they will be sent up to him for
sale on commission. Was with the last witness on
the day in question, and examined the drays. There
was no paint on either of them, of course he meant
on the letters. The drays were painted. They
were cast iron plates, without any colour but the
colour of the iron. It was the colour of rusty iron.

Mr. RAWLINSON—How came you and Mr. Giles
Co meet together that day ? Witness—We met by
mere accident. We had luncheon, and he asked me
to go out and look at the plates on the drays.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you know that there was
a penalty of 10/. to be received if these two infor-
mations were sustained ? Witness—No, never.

Mr. Combe never sent out a dray without having

The informer then departed, minus the costs; and
Mr. Combe, after thanking the Magistrate, retired.
DUEL.—The Magistrates of this office were en-
gaged for some time on Tuesday in hearing a charge
against four gentlemen for being concerned in fight-
ing a duel. The principals gave their names Cap-
tain Ydtes, R.N., and Captain Templer, of 31,
Green-s-see:, Grosvenor-Ft-pare. The seconds were
Mr. Joseph Harefield, of 2, Hawthornden-,treet,
East India Docks ; and Mr. C. Rivier, student,
London University.
It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon a hostile
meeting was brought about between the pities in a
field adjoining Wormwood-scrubbs, where an ex..
change of shots took place without either takirg
effect; the seconds were engaged in endeavouring
to bring about a reconciliation, when a constable,
108, T division, who had received information oil
the kubj-et, came up, and took them into custody,
except Captain Templer, who afterwards surren-
dered at the office.

Mr. RAWLINSON inquired the cause that led to
the meeting?—Captain Templer said that they were
aware that they had offended against the law, and
were ready to answer for it; but hoped no questions
would be pressed upon them which were not abso-
lutely required.
Mr. RAWLINSON directed all the parties to enter
into their own recogniz inces of 200/. to keep the
peace, when they were liberated.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday, Mary Ann Yates was place i at the
bar before Mr. ROGERS, charged with the following
robbery :—lt appeared from the evidence of a young
man named Hill, that on Tuesday night, at a late
hour, he met the prisoner, who conducted him to a
house in Pheasant court, Gray's-inn-lane, where
she robbed him of 10s. or 12s. On the discovery
of his loss he called in a policeman (Barton G), who
found Bs. concealed in the prisoner's apartment.
Mr. ROGERS— What have you to say to the
charge ? Prisoner—l am very sorry ; I never did
the like before.

How old are you ?—I am 15 on the 25th of
this month.

Have you a father and mother ?—I have a father,
but no mother.
What is he ?-A half-pay officer.
The Worthy MAGISTRATE here desired the po-
liceman to deliver up the Bs. to the prosecutor. who
was told to go about his business, and be accord-
ingly left the office.
Where does your father live ?—I don't knew.
How long have you been in this way of life ?
About five weeks.

Whatever induced you to do so ?—I became ac-
quainted with a girl who got her living in the same
way, and she persuaded me to leave home.
With whom did you reside at that time ?—With
my father.
Where ?—At Somers-town.
Does he not live there now ?—No; he quitted
&reedy after I left him.

Da you think you could find out where he is gone
to ?—I could ascertain on making application to
Messrs. Greenwood and Cox.

I have saved you from a prosecution, and now
wish to restore you to society. Will you return to
your father ?—No, sir; I don't wish to go home
again.

If I find you an asylum will you consent to enter
it ?—I will pursue my own course.

Unfortunate creature ! how sorry I am for you.
If you continue in this way, and should live to at-
tain the age of 20, you will be old in constitution,
tnd that God, whose laws you seem to despise, and
set at nought—who knows all the secrets of your
heart, alone knows what will become of you.
Pause and think awhile before it is too late.-1 can
-ay nothing more.

Obstinate gill !. I am astonished to see one that
has been well brought up so depraved ; go about
your business, and remember that in case you are
wrought here again you will not escape.
The unfortunate lost gi►l then curtsied, and left
t office smiling.

W ORSHIP- STREET.
A DANGEROUS TENANT.—Wheeler-street, Spi-
raffia's, has for the last week been a continued
scene of riot, in consequence of a tenant named
Bragg retaining possession of a house belonging to
Mr. Hinton, of Blackman-street. He has paid no
ent for a long time, and the landlord, after seizing
his goods, in order to compel him to quit, took all
the windows from the house. The obstinate tenant,
with a wife and three children, then slept on bags
of straw, exposed to all the vicissitudes of the sea-
son. Not content with keeping possession, he re-
peatedly threatened to burn the house down to the
ground. Mr. Hinton then obtained a warrant against
him, and he was ordered to find good bail, in default
of which he was committed. After this a large body
of persons surrounded the house with an intention
of pulling it down, and three persons, named Eliza
Hodges, Thomas Tandy, and Mary Bragg, the te-
nant's wife, were yesterday ordered to find bail. A
body of police were stationed at the house to pre-
vent further outrages.

REPORTING IN HANOVER.

HANOVER, SEPT: 29.—The proposition made to the
Alinistry of his Majesty, Ly the General Assembly of the
S ates, concerning the admission of short-hand wtiters
to the sittings of the Assembly, was to the following
effect :—.
4. The States must have concluded, from the Royal re-
script of the I Ith of May of this year, concerning the fun-
damental law, and of that of the Royal Ministry of the
30th of May, having reference to the new regulation, by
which the publicity of the debates of the Assembly by the
admission of strangers, and which was proposed in a note
dated the 30th of April, shall be suspended to the end of
the discussion of the fundamental law, and until its publi-
cation.
_ _

‘• The States felt it necessary to confine themselves, in
consequence, to consider an arrangement which, without
interfering with the decision, might at the same Time make
much more complete and exact the reports which have
been given of the discussions occurring during the present
Session, through the exertions of some of the Members of
the Assembly.

" The only way in which such an object can be advan-
tageously attained is by allowing short-hand writers into
the Assembly, and the Stites propose that they shall be
admitted under the following regulations :

" The President of the Assembly of the States shall, on
the application of the proprietors of the Gazette of Han-
over, permit the entrance into the gallery, on their re-
sponsibility, of a certain number of short-hand writers,
and of an editor to take notes, which shall be communicated
in their journal.
" The persons appointed to perform these duties shall
not communicate their notes to any one, save the proprie-
tors or the editors of the Gazette of Hanover.
" They shall evacuate the gallery whenever required to
do so by a Member of the Chamber; their report shall
present no public character, and the speakers, as well as
the voters in each Chamber, shall not be mused in the re-
ports, unless they are willing to permit it themselves.
" The States believing that by these modifications they
will be able to remove all the difficulties which at present
exist against the proposed arrangement, entertain a hope
that the Minister of State will not hesitate to adopt it as
soon as passible. They conclude by presenting to the
Minister of his Majesty the sentiments of their high con-
sideration.

" V. DECKEN,
" HARTMANN,

" General Assembly of the States of the Kingdom."
The following is the answer of the Minister, in which
it appears that he has complied with the proposal.

" TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATES OF

THZ KINGDOM.

" We have received the proposition, dated the Bth of this
month, by which the States proposed the admission of
short-Land writers, for the purpose of affording a suitable
decree of publicity to their discussions.
" The importance of the proposition, and the well-con-
sidered resolution of the King relative to the publicity of
tie debates of the Stites (which resolution bas been com-
municated to the General Assembly of the States), have
induced us to apply for orders from his Majesty, in order
to ant'cipate every scruple which may result from it.
" The Siates being of opinion, according to the report,
that there was no intention of efftcting a change which
would be contrary to the intentions of his Majesty in the
resolution respecting publicity, but that this proposition
Las substantially for its object to remove the difficulties
which have existed, and his Majesty believing with entire
confidence, that, in adopting the proposed changes, all the
Merrhers of the two Chambers will find in it a powerful
motive to avoid in their debates all that may be fairly con-
sidered as infi inging on the limits of a free and candid di,-
ctision, and is thereby endarnering the peace of this
country, as well, indeed, as that of ail Germany ; and his
Majesty also believing that the Presidents of the two Cham-
bers will resolutely enforce, in case of met!, the observance
of these instructions, and will feel it to be their duty to
take care that the order maintained in the Chambers
shall not he in any manner disturbed, either by the 'Mem-
bers, or by any persons admitted by virtue of this
proposition ; his Majesty having further thought that as it
was well undt,rstood that the right of determining to what
ext. nt the Editors of tl.e Journal of this city should go in
the publication of the debates ; and that it was well un-
dcr also, that a due conformity to the regulations of
tlio law slinulil be kept up; his Majesty, under all these
circumstances, is satisfied, not only to comply. with the
wishes expressed by the States, but has further authorized
us to declare to the States that he agrees in all points with
the aforesaid proposition modified in the manner already
stated.

" In malting this communication to the praiseworthy
Sat s, we leave to them as well as to the Presidents of the
two Chatntm,, the duty of carrying it into execution, and
to this and we have invitud the editors of the Gazette of
Honorer to forward his application to the President of th,
two Chambers.
