see that it is carefully packed, and enclose your bill with it"—
The applicant, however, instead of sending, took the gun himself
to Uxbridge, and there learned from Mr. Green, the landlord, that
he had certainly seen a person of the description of the gentle-
man who ordered the gun at his house, but that he did not ismw
him as Sir George Cayley, nor had he seen him there for some
time; neither, had any goods been sent there as yet, though he
had received notice that he might expect some. The applicant '
was a little puzzled at this information, and did not feel quite
satisfied that he had been dealing with the genuine Sir George
CaYley ; but fearing that, if it were otherwise, that he might
give offence by not' executing the order, he resolved to bring it
back with him to London, and dispatched it by the iegular,Con-
.
veyance to Brompton-bouse, regularly addressed. This was
done, and in three or four days he found that he had reason to
rejoice at his cautions prudence, for a letter was received from; the
real Sir' George Cayley, stating that he had not himself' ordered
a gun, or thought of ordering one; that his son, Digby Cayley,
was on the Moors,' shooting grouse, but he thought he had not
ordered a gun, else he (Sir George) would' have been informed of
it before his son left; and that in all probability, it was some
swindling attempt to obtain goods, which had fortunately been
frustrated by the vigilance of the firm. The objeot of the pre-
sent application was to ascertain whether or not 'the case, as it
stood, came within-the reach of the law, and if not, 'to give 'the
public notice,. that 'they might be on their guard against the tricks
of a very specious swindler. He had an air of open blunt care-
lessness about him, and his manner partook much of those of an
English country gentleman of the'old school. The applicant said
he had since ascertained that the old fellow had actually obtained
goods from several tradesmen.
The applicant was asked if he bad lost any thing ? He said the
carriage and other matters 'Would cost him some pounds, and he
had besides had a 'great deal of trouble.
The applicant was told, that no gocids having been obtained, the
case did not corns within the grasp of the law,' but he had done
perfectly right in making it -known.
The applicant said, that if the offender should he taken into
custody on any other charge, he and his partner would lend all
the assistance they could in furtherance of a prosecution.

Charlet Jackson, the landlord of the Shades tavern, Charing-
cross, was charged with assaulting Mr. Richard Peirse, a re-
spectable coca-merchant residing in Camberwell.
Mr. Patine owed, that on the night of Tuesday, having din►d
with a friend, be Went into the defendant's house and called for
a glass of brandy and Wittetr ;he had also some'oysters. He was
fresh, but not drunk. . Some diference arose' as, to the oysters,
and not having sufficient change about him, he deposited his um-
brella with the landlord as a Security for the reckoning. The de-
fendant, however, althoUgh be detained the umbrella, insisted on
expelling him• from the house by fbrce, in accomplishing Which;
he struck him over the left eye, which, as the Magistrate might
see, aura blackened and closed up. licwas also struck by the de-
fendant in the mouth, and was then thrust into the street, with
his linen torn and his fie covered with blatgL ' _

A respectable-looking woman, who was resent/4 theassault,.
corroborated the complainant's statement '
Mr. Jackson, in his defence, admitted having el:pellet? the com-
plainant froni his botise, but denied that he struck him. Mr.
Piers', he said, was very noisy and troublesome ; aiul .the hour
having arrived for shutting up his house, he thought if batter to
use coercive measures with a man who was too far gone in I,vor
to listen to reason.
Mr. MtrisnuLL said that, if the complainant had acted in.*
riotous and disorderly manner, the course which the landlord
should have taken, was to have given him in charge of a con-
stable; but he had no right to take advantage of his situation,
and to strike him with such violence on the.eye. He then asked
-Mr. Peirse if he was determined to prosecute the defendant.
Mr. Peirse replied, that it watt his determination to do so : he
had been ill-used in the house on former occasions, and he was
therefore resolved to follow up the present charge.
Mr. Jackson was then held bail On his own recognizance.
Catherine Halton, a distressed-looking Object was brought
up, charged by Mrs. ••Gralaam, who keeps an establishment for the
education of young ladies in the Hampstead-road, with raising a
disturbance at her house.

Mrs. Graham,. who came, .to the office accompanied by her
daughter and a- solicitor, stated, that for a Considerable while past,
she had been annoyed by the defendant, who, presuming. or some
imaginary, claim, took the liberty of presenting herself her door,
creating disturbance, to the Yet*: great annoyance of herself,
and the discredit of the respectable establishment over Which she
presided. The defendant, when denied admittance or' relief, would
knock loudly at the door, and pull the house-bell most furiously,
until both hell and knocker were.obliged to be muffled. Yester-
day evening she renewed her attack,. and became so violent, that
she (Mrs. Graham) was obliged to give her into custody, and
bring her before a magistrate, with► a view to prevent a recurrence
of the annoyance complained of
The defendant, who with difficulty restrained her feelings dur-
ing Mrs eiraham's statiosent; said, that the complainant was her
sty-mother, and that her only object in going to her house was to
recover an annuity of :101. a year, which was left her by the will
of her father, who died many years ago, while holding a responsi-
ble appointment in the Gmunissariat-Depirtment in India, under
the Marquis Wellesley, hie friend and patron. She had made, she
said, repeated applications to Mrs. Graham to be allowed the in-
come left her by her father's will ;- but she never could obtain the
least satisfaction.

Mrs. Graham, here desired her solicitor to hand some dom.,
ments,to the. Magistrate, who, after he had perused them, ask,
ed the defendant her age ? She replied that she believed she
was 44, and, although her father was married to her mother
when the latter was only 14 years old, the marriage was equally
as valid as that which ,he afterwards engaged in. She wanted
nothing from Mrs. Graham but that to' which she was entitled
under her father's will.

Mrs. Graham denied that an annuity bad ever been settled
on the defendant by her, husband's will. He had certainly
left her a legacy of 101., which she (Mrs. Graham) had long
since paid to the defendant and her husband, ,who at that time
were settled at a place called Ballybriggan, near Dublin. She
denied that the defendant had the slightest claim either on her
justice or humanity,. and said that she had afforded her relief on
several occasions, until her behaviour became at last so violent,
that she had come to the determination .of 'never giving her a single
sixpence. In consequence of the annoyance of the defendant, she
was obliged to leave her residence in Euston-square, and to take
the house where'she at present resided, but the defendant found
her out, and renewed her system, rapping and ringing with re-
doubled violence.

The defendant again repeated her claim, and contended that the
income which she sluiuld inherit by her father's will was unjustly
withheld from her. She had consented to take 12/, a year from
Mrs. GrahaM, in. lieu of the annuity, and a settlement was about
to 'he concluded to that effect, when Mrs. Graham suddenly left
her residenee in Eusten-squure, and was no where to be found for
a considerable time. With respect to her supposed
there was no foundation for such a supposition. 'She bad no
friend in gilgland to espouse her' cause, but she was known to
several distinguished pereons'to he the legitimate daughter of the
complainant's husband. , colonel Shaw, military secretary to the
Marquis Wellesley, in Ireland, knew leer father well, and
,could
testify thatshe was no impostor.
Mrs. Gralunn, after again repeating that the defendant had no
possible claim on her, either' in law or equity, requested the Mit-
giatrate'ii interference to'prevent her being again annoyed.
The defendant said she had neither home nor friends.
In that case, said Mr. MtlistruLL, you shall have an order to
the workhouse, where you will he taken care. of;• otherwise, you
must give security, that you will not again annoy this lady, who
must be protected against your violence, even although your claim
were just, of which I c;ai form no opinion.
' The defendant was locked up in default iif !mil, mllll the parties
left the office.
