MAT?YLEBONE.

Wednesday, after the disposal of the night charges,
a tall, athletic Frenchman entered the outer office,
and, having accosted Jones, the usher, to whom he
stated that he wished to make an application of much
importance, he was introduced to the sitting Magis-
trate, Mr. Rawlinson, who inquired the nature of his
business.
Applicant (who carried in his hand a great number
of papers, soxe of which were printed)—l have to
take the liberty, Sir, of requesting that you, as a Ma-
gistrate, will use v:nur best endeavours to get one of
my papers presented her Most Gracious Majesty
Queen 'Victoria, in order 'hat it may be brought un-
der the notice of King L0u!..4 Philippe, now in this
country and a guest at Windsor Castle.
It will be remembered that, aboOt a fortnight ago,
the applicant attended at one of the Cit.' ''. police-courts,
for the purpose of obtaining a warrant- fu:' the deten-
tion of the King immediately upon his settikce
foot in
England, and it need scarcely be added, thlt the
wished-for warrant was not granted.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to the applicant)—What do you
think I can do for you ? Applicant—l think you
can assist me, your Worship.
Mr. RAWLINSON—I can't do anything of the sort ;
if you wish to forward anything to her Majesty you
should do so, I apprehend, through one of the Lords
in Waiting.
Applicant—l thank you, Sir. Will you be good
enough to accept of this (handing in a printed paper),
and do what you can for me ?
Mr. RAWLINSON-111 look over it at my leisure.
The Frenchman, who seemed highly elated at the
Magistrate condescending to peruse his appeal to her
Majesty in his behalf, bowed respectfully, and then
quitted the Court.
The paper, which he placed in the hands of the
Magistrate, contained a voluminous statement, printed
in English and French, in which the writer sets forth
certain pecuniary claims on his Majesty the King of
the French, for services rendered by him (the appli-
cant), in maintaining and supporting a large number
of the most active partisans of the revolution of July,
1830. The applicant, in very energetic language, mixed
with no slight share of bombast, entreats her Ma-
jesty to use her influence with her royal guest to in-
duce him to recognise his claim.
The document is signed " Buchoz Hilton," and is
dated-41, Prince's-street, Leicester-square, October 1,
1 844. From the whole tone and tenour of this docu-
ment we should not be surprised to learn that Mr.
Buchoz Hilton's affairs were placed in the hands of
the police.
Our reporter recognised the applicant as the same
person who, between nine and ten years ago, was
brought before the then sitting Magistrates, Messrs.
Shutt and Hoskins, charged with having caused a
mob to assemble in the vicinity of the residence of the
French Ambassador, Manchester square. Upon that
occasion the applicant, who was then a vendor of
blacking, was mounted upon a donkey, caparisoned in
a most grotesque manner, and had a quantity of
blacking for sale, which, according to bills put forth
by him, was manufactured from the bones and blood
of the satellites of the hypocrite King Louis Philippe,
who had been killed fighting against the Republicans
of Lyons. Ile Was then discharged by the Magis-
trate, upon his promising not to cause an obstruction
in the streets again.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Wednesday Mr. BOND gave judgment in the case of
Charles Lowing, of Hatton, near Hounslow, who was
charged at this court, about a week ago, with hawk-
in, hay without a license.
!The question was one of considerable importance to
shopkeepers in the corn and hay trade, who were said
to have sustained great injury by the practice of
hawking hay about the streets. The case was clearly
proved by Skinner, an officer of Stamps and Taxes,
who had seen the defendant offer the hay for sale to
several persons at Chelsea, but as Mr, Bond expressed
some doubt as to whether it was an offence within the
meaning of the Act, he took time to give the matter
consideration. On the case being called on,

Mr. Childe, of the firm of Wire and Childe, who
represented the body of corn-chandlers and hay sales-
men, said that they were determined to prosecute all
persons offending against the statute, and was about
to make some further observations, when

Vv
Mr. BOND said, that as this was the first case of the
sort that had come under his notice, he had adjourned
it in order to make himself better acquainted with the
law on the subject. He was now perfectly satisfied
that it was an offence within the meaning of the Act,
and he must therefore convict the defendant in the
penalty of 101., or in default commit him for three
months.
A gentleman here stepped forward and made some
observations in favour of the defendant, in the course
of which he said he had erred from ignorance of the
la w, and expressed his opinion that the fine was very
heavy.
Mr. BOND observed that he had no power to miti-
gate it; there was an appeal to the quarter sessions,
and the Court had the power under this Act of Par-
liament of stating the facts for the decision of the
Court of Queen's Bench.
Mr. Childe said, thatgreat pains had been taken by
the body he represented to caution persons against
the commission of this offence. He had not the
slightest objection to try the matter, if the defendant
or his friends were dissatisfied with the decision and
wished to appeal.
The gentleman who had spoken in defendant's be-
half expressed his willingness to appeal at his own cost,
if the expenses were not very heavy ; but, on being
informed what they might be if the ease were taken
into the Court of Queen's Bench, he abandoned
the idea.
After some further conversation, in which
Mr. Childe repeated that it was the intention of the
trade to prosecute the hawkers,
The defendant was removed in custody; but in less
than half an hour the fine was paid.
Mr. Burrell made a similar decision under this
Act of Parliament about three months ago.
