LAW AND POLICE.

At Bow-street, Mr. Martin, landlord of the Ship Tavern,
Chichester-rents, Chancery-lane, was summoned before Mr.
Twyford, charged with having opened his house for the sale
of beer, &c., at illegal hours, namely, at a quarter past one
on the morning of the sth April, Good Friday. Two police-
men having been examined in support of the charge, Mr.
Wire said the defence was very simple. A benefit society
met at his house, and the night in question being a quarterly
night, they had sat late, to make up the accounts, but there
was not the least liquor drawn after twelve o'clock, nor were
there any persons in the house but members of this society.
Mr. Martin had been a licensed victualler for nineteen years,
and had never had the slightest charge brought against him.
having served all the parochial offices with honour and credit.
He then called George Raisin, the waiter, who proved that
nothing was served after twelve o'clock, and that the house
was cleared of customers at that hour. Mr. Twyford con-

sidered the case fully answered, and dismissed the informa
tion.—This is the fifth charge of the kind brought by the
police before the Bow-street magistrates, in two days, and all
of them have been dismissed:
At Worship-street Mary Pettigrew, an infirm and aired
widow, in her 82d year, was charged, conjointly with het
daughter, a middle- aged married woman, named Mary Ann
Joblyns, with having wilfully and maliciously set tire to a
hou t e situated in Old street-road, and which was said to have
be"n i the occupation of the elder prisoner for the last forty
years. A broker and two policemen gave evidence as to the
property in the house, the conm:encement of the fire, &c.
when both the prisoners strongly asserted their innocence
and the younger one said that her husband was a wine mer-
chant, residing in France, from which country she was sum
mored about-six weeks ago to thn sick bed of her mother,
upon whom she had bee❑ since in constant att.endance.
Mr Broughton said Oat after the evidence he had heard
could come to no other conclusion than that the house had
been wilfully set on tire, under circumstances that attached
strong suspicion to both the prisoners, and he had no hesita•
tion in remanding them till a future day. The prisoners were
remanded until Monday next.
• James Standen, the proprietor of the hackney cab 710, was
charged at Queen-square, by Richard Carter, a relic of that
degraded class of society called common informers, with hay-
iug to inserit;i2 in vonspi.uous characters the num-
ber he was licensed to carry The defendant, whO appeared
to be a very respectable man, pleaded guilty, but hoped to be
excuseil, as it was entirely the effect of accident. The cab
had undergone some repairs, and the coachmaker, after paint-
ing it, had omitted to replace the plate on which the words
"to carry two persons" were inscribed. He was fined 10s.
and costs.
At Marylebone Police-court, David Smith, a cab-driver,
badge 7,056, was charged with cruelty to his horse, by strik-
ing it upon the head with the butt-end of his whip, and also
flogging. the poor animal so unmercifully under the flank that
the blood dropped down upon its hoofs. Mr. Rawlinsoncom
mated him, without the infliction of any fine, to two months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.

son of the late Hon. Philip Pusey, and grandson of the
Earl of Radnor. His father assumed the name of
Pusey on becoming the possessor of Pusey. in the
county of Baits, an estate held by that family from
a period considerably anterior to the Norman con-
quest, and held under a grant from Canute by
coinage, or the service of a horn. The Pusey horn
is well known to antiquaries. Dr. Pusey was born in
1800, and entered the University of Oxford in 1818,

Regius Professor of Hebrew and Canon of Christ Church.
