A burst of several voices exclailtiffd tat the a great many
other grievances of the same complexion.
One of the officera of the Mendicity Society said that there was
one poor fancily that had been totally ruined by the prisoner.
The prisoner here launched out into a volley of abuse against
the Mendicity Society, who had, he said, brought all his creditors,
like a hornet's nest, about his ears, by representing him to be a
swindler, and every thing had [" And so you are," called out some
dozen of voices. ] " Why," said the prisoner, " don't the Men-
dicity Society bring their own manager, Mr. Walker, to this
bar for defrauding the funds of the society of 300/. ; I never
did that."

Mr. ROE said, that he would recotnmend an indictment for
conspiracy to defraud against the prisoner, Dr. Golding, and Mr.
Brazier.

The prisoner, who behaved all through in a most hardened and
impudent manner, was then sent to Newgate to take his trial tin.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—Amongst the disordetlies brought up
from St. Margaret's watchhouse this morning, was a very fashion-
ably-dressed gentleman, who gave his name Mr. John Clementr,
of No. GS, Regent-street, charged by two watchmen with being
riotous and disorderly on the previous 'evening.
Thomas Perry, a watchman, stated, that about one o'clock in
the morning, he wag going his rounds, when he saw the de-
fendant, apparently intoxicated, making a variety of noises : know-
lug the defendant before, he remonstrated with him iu vain, for
he was in the frequent habit of making these noises, and had
before been taken to the ivatchhouse for the same offence. De-
fendant snatched a stick from him, and ran off, but was soon
taken into custody.
Mr. Clements—Please your worship, I was returning home,
and found myself overwhelmed with sleep, when in the act of
yawning, I might have made the satire mew that other people do,
Cooksey, a patrol, here said that the defendant had an uncom-
mon strong noise of a very peculiar nature ; for he could with the
greatest ease imitate the springing of a watchman's rattle, by some
method in his throat, which he was continually practising, and it
put all the watchmen on the alarm, which was a great annoyance
to the neighbourhood.
Mr. WHITE—Pray, Mr. Clements, what may you be ?
Mr. Clemente—Me, Sir ; why, Sir, I am a teacher.
Mr. WHITE—A teacher ! a teacher of what, pray ?
Mr. Clemente—Why, Sir (with dome hesitation), I am a teacher
of the art of cutting to fit the human shape. (Loud laughing, in •
which the magistrate joined.)
Mr. Wurrx—Why then, after all, you are a tailor.
Mr. Clements—No, Sir ; you may term me tailor ; but I do
not consider myself as such.
Mr. Wurrx—Oli yes, to be sure you are.
Mr. Clements—No, Sir ;lam a teacher of the fashionable art
of cutting out.
Mr. Wnere—Now, Mr. Clements, I will give you your choice;
you may either pay be for being drunk, or find sureties.
Mr. Clements--I shall certainly prefer the latter.
Mr. Wurra:-.-Nery
Mr. Clements--I wish you very good day, Sir, (bowing.)
Mr. Warrx—No, Sir, it is not good day until you have found
securities.
Hereupon Mr. Clements was stopped, and upon further consi-
deration, payed the ss. and left the office, where he had affiirded
much amusement.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday a decent-looking female,
named Sarah Smithenum, was introduced to the Sitting Magis.
trate, Mr. Breererr, by Beavis, time beadle of Nortoefelgate, who
stated that she had been very cruelly treated. From the state-
ment of the poor woman, it appeared that on Tuesday morning
she was carrying about for sale some ribands and other articles,
when a man named Hale (an inspector of hawkers' Bern* met
her, and demanded her licence. She had not one to produce, and
he brought her to this office in order to prosecute her under' the
hawkers' and pedlars' act. She offered him half a sovereign to
let her go, but he refused to receive it, and left her and her goods
in charge at the. office. Afterwards, however, some of her
friends paid him a sovereign, and he did not appear against her.
She wail kept in the strong-room from ten in the morning until
eight o'clock in the evening, during which time (as she alleged)
no person was allowed to visit her, and she was then set et liberty.
Mr. BENETT, addressing the coruplainant, said, he regretted
it was not in his power to redress the wrong the had sustained.—
If she had been a rich prison, he said, be would have advised her
to bring an action against Hale for assault and false imprisonment,
but he would not give that advice to a poor person.
Eagles said, he had put the complainant in a way of obtaining'
redress. He hail given her a written direction to the
and Pedlere-office, and lie had no doubt the Conalnissioners
would prosecute Hale.
Mr. lIENETT said, any thing that could he done to serve the
complainant at this office should he done, and he desired that the
officers would render her any wait:tome in their power. He also
declared that it Hale should ever again present himself at this
office, his testimony should not be received.
The female appeared to be well known to the persons about the
office, who gave her the character of u peaceable and industrious.

lIATTON-GARDEN,—,A poor, miserable-looking
(kneed. in shabby black, With scarcely a shoe to his feet, and
worn-out hose, with a remarkably white'head of hair, and a pre-
pooterous pair of whiskers, whose real name is George .erudite/,
but who passed himself off as the it Earl of Strethinote," was
brought before the Magistrate on a warrant by Andrew Lloyd,
the officer, charged with attempting the life of an old lady named
Coleman, residinF in Curaitoiestreet, Chaneery-lane.
Thu assault being clearly proved, the defendant was held to bail

with it was locked up.
THAMES POLICE-OFFICE.-A respeetable- look ing &mak,

A Captain of a vessel. About seven years ago a young lad, her
son, then about I 4 years °cage, went out to India in the Prineess
of Miles schooner, and they were shipwrecked at the titeert
Crozet's Islands, and five of the crew and the Captain were throwu
destitute upon them. There they remained fur two years, hav-
ing built huts, and chiefly supported themselves by hunting and
fishing, and clothing themselves in seal-skins, of which they had

to touch at the Cruets, and on their presenting theruselvea in their

they were immediately received on board with their 4,000 skins.
fur the purpose of being landed at New York. However,
on their passage, the Captain seized all their skins, put them
in Wens, and landed them on a desert island, called St.
Paul's. Thus deprived of every assistance, they knew not
what to do, and bereft of every thing, save and except two mus-
kets and a few pounds of powder and shot, they, imagining that
they should spend their lives there, commenced building lints, and
providing for a future settlement. They found the Wand of St.
Paul's not only abounding with seals, but also with sea elephants.
So, after remaining three yew's, the American vessel, which had
brought them there, touched at the island, and the Captain, no
doubt under the expectation that lie would as easily get poesesaiou
of their seal-skins ache did before, offered to take them to the
Isle of France, as the best mart for the disposal of their elephants'
teeth and blubber, of which they bad a cmviiderable quantity :
after much negotiation they agreed with the Captain for their pas-
sage to the Isle of France, and were landed there. On their
arrival they sold their skins, elephant-blubber, and tad,
of the crew lodged their money in the hands of the British
