the pugilist, appeared on a warrant, charged with having
assaulted a tradesman of the name of Swift. Ben's mouth
appeared dreadfully cut.
Mr. Swift deposed, that he and a friend went into the
Rising Sun, on Thursday night. While they were stand-
ing at the bar, Burn came in ; he entered into conversa-
tion with them ; and after a few minutes, without any
provocation, he struck him in the face and forced hint
against the wainscot. lie then said, I shall not strike
you again, but I will serve you out. He then seized
witness by the neckcloth, and forced his pin out of his
shirt.
Mr. ROE-What was the nature of the conversation?
Mr. Swift said to him, Burn, you must recollect me,
for I and Martin have often taken tea with you and Mrs.
Burn, in the bar.
_

13urn said the complainant said he was a despicable fel-
low ; and then mentioned his wife, who was now confined
in the Lunatic Asylum ; he also struck him with a glass,
which cut his face. Burn then unbuttoned his coat,
and showed his clothes covered with blood.
Mr. Swift—That must have been done after I went
away, for I ❑ever touched him.
Mt. ROE—You are constantly here for breaking the
peace. Ido not know of a more quarrelsome person.
Burn--. Whatever has been my conduct, I have been
punished for it.
Mr. Roe said, he should fine him bOs., and in default
of payment commit him for two months to the House of
Correction.

Burn instantly paid the money, and left the office.
A man, genteelly dressed in black, of a wild maniac ex-
pression of countenance, was, with considerable difficulty,
and after much resistance, placed at the bar of this Office,
uponhe following complaint:--.

Clements, the officer, stated that he was stationed that
morning with his brother officer, Goddard, to preserve
order at Dr. Brookes's, in Blenheim-street, during the
hours of the sale by auction of that gentleman's :museum
of anatomical subjects. The sale, since its commence-
ment, has been visited by many thousand persons, and, in
order to preserve order, and the admission of proper per-
sons, half a crown is charged for a catalogue, upon
showing which at the door the party is admitted. The ac-
cused passed by the persons at the door without showing a ca-
talogue, or paying his half crown, upon which he (Clements)
was requested to remind him of the omission, and he did so in
the most gentle terms. The accused said he had purchased a
catalogue ; upon which he (Clements) requested to see it,
but the accused refused to show it (if he had any), and
said he should remain where be was in spite of all the
police-officers, or Dr. Brookes himself, and all his
skeletons ! and added, that he would anatomise the first
person who laid hands upon him, and make them tit sub-
jects to b► added to the catalogue of sale ! (the officer)
was obliged to use gentle force to expel him, when he used
the broken stick (now produced) in the most furious man-
ner, striking every one near him. At length, with the
assistance of Goddard, and other persons, he was enabled
to bring him to the Office.

During the time the witness was giving his evidence,
the prisoner conducted himself in so violent a manner, as
left little doubt of his being deranged, or rnad, from the
effect of liquor.
Goddard, the other officer who was in company with
Clements, produced a very formidable stick, which he
stated the accused had thrust at him, and wounded him in
the groin.
The Accused—You lie, you Roman-nosed rascal !
The Magistrate (Mr. RoE)—Will you be quiet, that I
may hear the evidence ? The Accused—You be —.
You are a pretty Magistrate. Why don't you listen to
ate. I went to the sale. I bought a catalogue, and those
rascally officers had no right to touch ine. I'll make
them repent it. I know the law as well as you !
Mr. Brooks, jun., Mr. Franklin, and several other gen-
tlemen, corroborated the statement of the officers, and de-
nied that the accused had purchased a catalogue, or had
one with him.

Mr. ROE inquired the accused's name ? The Accused—
What's that to you. Every dog has a name, and so have 1.
After several attempts to south the accused, the Magis-
trate said he should convict bins under the new Act in the
sum of 51. for assaulting the officers, in default of payment
of which he should be sent to prison for two months.
The Accused—Send me to prison, and be to you.
Send use to New South Wales if you like, you will be
obliged to feed me.

lie refused to leave the bar, and upon the efficers at-
tempting to remove him, it required the strength of five
officers, a publican, an exciseman, and several medical
students, before they could remove him out of the office to
be locked up. He was ultimately conveyed to prison.
UNION-HALL—EXTENSIVE SEIZURE UNDER THE
EXCISE Lai F.—Yesterday Mr. Rentoa, proprietor of
Balaarn Cottage, Wandsworth, was charged with being
enicerned in the manufacture of soap en his premises with-
out being duly entered.
Linater, an Excise officer, stated that ou Thursday he
went with three other officers to Wandsworth Connuen,
and then preceeded by different routes to Balaam Cottage.
Witness got over a ditch in the rear of the premises, and
immediately after saw the prisoner running across a field,
where he was taken in the act of. crossing the ditch. A
desperate scuffle ensued, and he struck the officer repeatedly.
Caton, the third officer, entered at the front, and found se-
veral cases of soap in a manufactured state, containing nine
to ten cwt. each, and a quantity unfinished. The copper
was at full work.

Mr. SwABEY—Did you find any one else but the pti-
woner ? Witness—ln the house we got a maid servant
washing, but no other man but Mr. Renton.
Mr. SW &BEY addressed the prisoner, and asked him had
be any legal adviser employed for him. The prisoner re-
plied in the negative ; on which Mr. Swabey desired him
to put any questions he thought necessary to the officers, as
it was the Magistrate's wish that he be satisfied that justice
was fully done Lim.
The prisoner then said that the officer did not take him
on the premises at all, but in a field adjoining : that he was
used most brutally by the officer, and struck by him over
the bead with a large pistol.
Mr. Swaim- to the officer—Was the field in which you
took the prisoner adjoining to the cottage. Officer—lt lay
directly between the rear of the cottage and the coach-
house attached to it, in which we found a considerable por-
tion of apparatus for making ..,oap, as well as of the mate-
rial itself in an unfinished state.

The prisoner then said, that he was employ-ell merely as
a day labourer in the garden, and had nothing whatever to
do with the proprietorship of the premises.
Mr. SWAERY—Who employed yon? Prisoner—A gen-
tleman named Weston.

gWABEY—Is he here now? Prisoner—l don't
suppose he is.
Mr. SIVABEY—Do you think you could find him ?
Prisoner—l don't know whether I could find him.

Mr. SWABEV to the officer—When you took the pri-
soner, had he the appearance of working in a garden?
Officer—Nene in the least ; his appearance was as respect-
able then as it is now. There was neither spade nor any
other implement of husbandry in the field.
Prisoner—l was not digging. I was only employed to
weed it.

Mr. SwaoEv—When he went into the house, did he act
there like a man who was master of it ? Officer—En-
tirely so.
Mr. SWABEY then read the Act of Parliament (the 7th
and Bth of George IV.), under which he convicted him in
the sum of thirty pound•, in consequeoce of being found on
premises where exciseable goods were illegally manufac-
tured.

On the Magistrate declaring the conviction, the pri-
soner, who is an elderly man, of very respectable appear-
ance, instantly paid tile entire sum; on which he was or-
dered to be discharged.

The late Archbishop is said to have left op-
tions at the disposal of his successor to the amount of at
least 10,000/. per annum.

On Monday last a fine line-of-battle ship,
named the Royal Adelaide, was launched at Plymouth in
tke prescnceof the Duke and Duchess of CLA RENCE. Ac-

We are glad to hear that Lord NOREURY is
so far recovered from his late indisposition ae to be able to
visit his drawing-room ; and it may be reasonably expected
that his Lordship will, is a few days, venture abroad,—

The sale of the Croydon Theatre, by order of
the Commissioners under Mr. ELLISTON'S bankruptcy,
took place at the Auction Mart on Thursday. This property
was submitted to the hammer by Mr. G. Robins. The
theatre was described as being 34 feet wide by 70 feet
long, independently, of the back premises, and containing
10 upper boxes and gallery, 12 lower boxes, pit, orchestra,
wardrobe-room, &c., and when well filled as holding
nearly 60/. After some observations from the auctioneer
on the present and prospective advantages as sure to arise
from this investment, a bidding of 500/. was obtained, and
subsequently the property was bought in at 7801. In the
purchase were also included the green curtain, drop, 12
rolling scenes, three sliding ditto, chandeliers, and other
stage properties. From the difficulty of obtaining an upset
price, and the languid advances which followed, it would
appear that the mania for theatrical speculation is at a
very low ebb.
