Little Waddington made his appearance at the
Mansion House yesterday, and complained to
the Loan MAYOR that some mischievous persons
had torn down placards, posted by order of him-
self and other friends of the late QUEEN, to in-
vite the " useful classes" to a public meeting.
After he had indulged•in oratorical flourishes, in
his own peculiar style, he was informed by the
LORD MAYOR that he could not exercise any au-
thority to prevent the offensive conduct of which
he complained. His Lordship saw no harm in
the placard, but if the industrious fellow who
stuck so close to the heels of the bill-sticker and
spoiled his labours were bad enough to persevere
notwithstanding the remonstrances of Mr. Wad-
dington, he must be left to suffer from the com-
punctious of his conscience.

Yetterday, Wm. Brio wN, agid 10, 7as put to the bar on an
indictment charging huh with knoiringiv tittering i certain
piece of paper purporting to be a not,s*-Che Bank of England
• for 51. on the' th of August last. •
Mr. Timbery, engraver, of Fetter-lane, proved the prisoner
to have come to his shop on the day mentioned in the indict-
ment and asking for a hammer and apolishing iron, at the same
time saying he came from a bookbinder in Bell-yard. On being
asked what weight the hammer was to be, he said he did not
know, and was sent back to inquire as to that. On his return
he said it was to be 10Ib. It being. necessary to " face" the •
hammer, he was told to call agate in, half an hour, when he ob- '
served that he would pay for the articles, and take the polishing
. iron with him. He then - tendered a 51:: note, and having - re-
ceived
the change departed; but never came for the hammer.—
The
witness was positive of the :ilentity of the prisoner.
4s: This witness was •cross.e.aniined• by Mr. ANDnEws for the
Prisoner, but nothing was elicited from him in the slightest de-
gree to shake his testimony.

• eitry4Xlispi;,-1?f - No. .4, c,.4o4tititi, L -Ink Acre, proved
- - the prisoner came to the shop of 1. r. Bough, gold-beater,
of Fetter-lane, and asked for 200 of gold leaf, and tendered a
51. note in payment. The prisoner then said it was for a Mr.
Rowley, of St. Andrew's-hilt Doctors Commons. On in-
quiry, the note was suspected, and the witness returned- to the
shop and informed the prisoner, whom he accompanied to St.
Andrew's-hill, Doctors Commons. The prisoner stopped at the
house of Mr. Penney, of St.',Andrew's-hill, and hesitating to
go in, at length admitted thathe was not sent by any one there,
but by a person whom he met. at the corner of the street. The
witness, on farther inquiry,. found that there was a Mr. Row-
ley, a bookbinder, in Wardrobe-place, to whom he applied,
and found that the prisoner had not been sent by him, and also
that he, Mr. Rowley, had learned that another note had been
passed in his name to a shopkeeper in Fetter-lane. After some
farther inquiry, the prisoner was given into custody, but he
had contrived previously to put away the last mentioned note.
Several persons were called in support of the prosecution,
who negatived the different stories of the prisoner, who made no
defence, nor did he call any witnesses to his character.

Mr. baron GUAITA3I summed up, and the Jury baying con-
sulted for a few minutes found the prisoner Guilty, but recom-
mended him to mercy, being of opinion that on account of his
youth he might have been the dupe of some designing person.
