The boy,, named Samuel Lander, bad, it apprAred, no
parents, and was brought up in Deptford workhouse, but.
latterly had been living with his grandmother. She died in
November, bequeathing 501. to him, and 50L to her exe-
cutor, George Bradbury. On Thursday the executor sold
the stock, and the boy, who is fifteen years old, wished to be
paid his share forthwith in the street, which brought a crowd
about them on Ludgate-hill.
The executor said, lie had no intention of cheating the
boy He was a brazier, and had worked many years for the
ironmongers at the west end of the town ; but he did not
choose to pay the boy in the street, nor was it safe to trust,
him with so much, as be was addk4ed to gambling. The
boy wished to go to sea.
The boy was still tint;nling, to leave the money in the
executor's hands,
Mr. Aldan Cowan recommended that 301. should be
placed 1D
'a savings' bank, in the boy's name, and that the
reoninder should be lodged with Mr. Theobald, the City
I,larshal, for the use of the boy, either to rig him out for
sea, or furnished an apprentice fee to some trade. Both
parties assented to this course.

Yesterday Edward Bland, .Joseph lifaik, 717illiam Bur-
ton, Thomas Kitchener, and John Wickr, five athletic la-
bourers, were placed at the bar before the sitting Magis-

constable John Fallow, S 196, who appeared. to
dear marks of recent ill-treatment, was the first witness ex-
amined. He stated that about nine o'clock the previous
night he was sent by his inspector, Mr. Aggs, to disperse a
mob collected round the Holly Bush Tavern at Hampstead.
He went there, and found about 250 persons assembled, one
of those standing in front beating a drum, several others
near him playing " rough music ;" they were creating a
great disturbance, and witness desired them to go away
quietly, when the prisoner Bland, raising a large cleaver in
the air, swore that he would kill any policeman that dared.
to interfere. Thinking that his manner was such as to ex-
cite the mob to commit a breach of the peace, he darted
forward and wrenched the weapon from his grasp, and
handed it to another constable, who just at that time came
up. The prisoner then struck him a violent blow is the
face, upon which he closed with him, and was endew:ouriilk
to secure him when Mr. Mose came out .; ede tavern,
and, laying hold of him by the collar, said, L-4 him go."
A cry was then set up by several voice's of, " Oo it mas-
ter," " Take him away," " Go it ,
;" hnd directly afterwards
witness received a heavy blow on the shoulder from some
bludgeon, which felled him to the ground. The prisoners
Bland, Maile, Burton, Kitchener, and Wick then com-
menced kicking him in a most brutal manner on different
parts of his person. He, however, at length regained his
feet ; and, although very much hurt, succeeded, with assist-
ance, after a desperate struggle, in conveying Bland to the
station-house. Witness added that in the scufle he lost his
hat and cape, which had subsequently been restored to him,
though not in a fit state to wear.
Sergeant Neil, S 3, said that he, accompanied 'by ser-
geant Nesbitt, S 18, went up to the assistance bf the first
witness, when sergeant Nesbitt was immedi'tely knocked
down by one of the prisoners, and kicked in so violent a
manner as to be unable then to attend. Witness was also
very much ill-treated by the mob,,
A certificate from Mr. Dar;•,,
was here handed to the 111-
agis surgeon, of Hampstead,
trate, stating that sergeant
Nesbitt was confined

Several seriously injured.
P.;;fier constables in part corroborated the pre-
'di' evidence, and deposed to taking the other prisoners
'":co custody, by whom they were also dreadfully beaten.
Inspector Aggs here begged leave to explain the primary
cause of the disturbance, and from his statement it appeared
that an old man named Kerrison, a builder and bricklayer,
at Hampstead, had on the previous morning led to the
hymenial altar his third wife, a young woman not so old as
his eldest daughter, in celebration of which event Mr.
Mose, wbo was his friend, had procured the prisoners and
several others marrowbones and cleavers for them to play
opposite the bridegroom's house. Mr. Kerrison then, to
get rid of the annoyance, placed a sum of money in the
hands of Mr. Mose, to be spent for the benefit of the
" musicians." The latter gentleman accordingly wended
his way towards the Holly Bush Tavern, whither he was
followed by the mob, who, understanding that Mr. Wood,
the late candidate for Middlesex, and his father, together
with Lord Storniont, Colonel Clitheroe, and other distin-
guished persons were then in the house, attending a dinner
given by the former gentleman's Election Committee,
struck up by direction of their leader (Mr. Mose) " God.
save tha King." They afterwards became very outrageous,
one with another, and created a great disturbance, upon
which he (Mr. Aggs) deemed it advisable, for t'ie peace of
the respectable inhabitants, to send an officer to disperse
them in a quiet way, but which had ended in the manner
related.

Mr. Mose and the other prisoners, who denied what had
been stated against them, were ordered to find good bait to
answer the charge at the ensuing Sessions.

DOW-STREET.
The proprietor of the hackney-coach No. 1,460 was
summoned before Mr. HALLS, by Carter, the informer,
for allowing the plates of his coach to be in an illegible
state.
Digby, the informer's witaress, said he was in Piccadilly
on the 27th instant. He saw the defendant's coach there.
The number was 1,46 P,, but it was defaced that he could
not make it out.,
Mr. 114Ils—If it was defaced, as stated, how could
you tell: what the number was ? You have closed your
ca" -, and I shall hear no more from your witness. In-
formers may be necessary evils, but I shall take care they
do not re-open their case after having closed it. If you
have any other witness I will hear him, but I shall not al-
low Digby to say any more.
Carter then called Byers, the informer, who said he had
summoned the defendant at Queen-square, for the same
offence, not knowing that Carter had laid the information.
He proved the fact, but at the request of the defendant the,
case was adjourned till Monday, to enable him to produce
the plates.

Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL, charged with stealing a
great coat, value 255., the property of Mr. George Her-
bert, in the dressing-room of the Westminster theatre.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday, John Palmer was brought up in custody,
charged with hawking spirits without a permit.
The defendant was observed in the act of calling at se-
veral houses, and endeavouring to dispose of a quantity of
very strong white spirit, which he carried in two large blad-
ders. He pretended to those upon whom he called, that it
was smuggled brandy, which had just come over from
France, and offered to sell it for half its real value. The
last house at which he called the Excise officers pounced
upon him, and he then altered his tone, and said that it was
British spirits he was trying to sell. When asked to pro-
duce the permit, he admitted that he had none, and was
then taken into custody.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said, that being
out of. employ, he was compelled to have recours',3 to the
act for which he was taken into eirstody. He refused
to
divulge where he obtained tilt gpirits, and the• officers of
the Excise stated there waS no doubt he had procured it.
from an illicit still.

The MAGISTR 'ATE inflicted a fine of thirty pounds on the
defendant, wto, in default of payment, was committed fw
three months.
he defendant said, that he had a wife and children de-
pendent upon him for support, and that if he was locked up
they would all starve.

The MAGISTRATE told him if he had any thing to urge
in extenuation, he must write to the Commissioners or
Excise.
