GUILDHALL

William Turner, charged with burglarionsly
breaking and entering the hat-manufactory belonging
to Mr. Armstrong, of Jewin-street-crescent, under-
went a final examination yesterday before Mr. Al-
derman LUCAS, and was fully committed for trial.
A genteel-looking couple named Thomas Tonikins
and Elizabeth Bishop, were charged with behaviog
in a disorderly manner in the street.
A watchman of Blackfriars heard a cry of
" Watch !" and ran over to King Edward-street, at
the back of Bridge-street, where a person ordered
him to take the prisoners into his charge, who were
lying together along the pavement. They were
both in some degree intoxicated, and he took them
into custody.
Mr. Tomkins (who described himself to be a
dentist), in reply to sorr.e questions by the Magis-
trates, said that he and the young Jai), were well
known to each other ; that they had met in company
last night, and he had undertaken to see her safely
home. He supposed the lady*as affected with
what she had drank, and dipped down, and that he,
in attempting to raise her, had fallen also; but he
-declared that he remembered nothing of the cir-
cumstance.

The Alderman fined them ss. each for being

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday two pauper boys, apparently not more
than between six and seven years old, were brought
forward by Mr. Earle, clerk to the churchwardens
and overseers of the parish of St. Martin-in-the-
Fields, for the purpose of having them examined by
the Magistrates, previous to their being bound ap-
prentice to a master chimney-sweeper.
Mr. MiNsllum, observed that they were both very
young, and that one of them appeared to be in a
delicate state of health. He wished that they could
be put out to any other business, and that the ne-
cessity could be dispensed with of apprenticing
children of such tender years to a trade so revolting
to humanity. As a proof of the feeling which existed
in high quarters upon the subject, he would just
mention the fact, that Mr. Peel had lately ordered
circulars to be sent to the various public departments
under his controul, apprising the principals of his
wish that they should emploi sweeping machines, in
preference to climbing boys.
In answer to a question by Sir IL BIRNIE, it was
stated by Mr. Earle that both of the children were
orphans.
Mr. MINSUULL as the sitting Magistrate, would
certainly take time to consider. It was very strange
that St. Martin's parish, more than any other, in
the district of the office, should, upon so many
recent instances, adopt this method of disposing of
their pauper children.
Here the matter ended.

John Larcomb, the owner and driver of a fly-
waggon that plies between Londou and Stockbridge,
in Hampshire, was brought in custody by two police-
constables, charged with basing fired a pistol from
his waggon, about seven o'clock that morning in
High Holborn; and also with having assaulted the
constables, who, in the discharge of their duty, had
searched the waggon and taken him into custody.
The prisoner was fined 15s. for the offence.
L A M BETH-ST REET.

A porter, named John Harris, was brought before
Mr. WALKER yesterday at this office, charged with
the following brutal assault :
The defendant resided somewhere in Rosemary-
lane, and a distress warrant had been levied upon kis
goods ; and upon the broker's going to his house to
learn if he intended to pay, the defendant seized him,
threw him down, jumped upon him, and inflicted a
most serious injury upon him.
The assault was most clearly proved, and the
Magistrate said it was a most savage assault, and he
should inflict the severest penalty of the law, which
was, that he should pay 51. to the King, or go to
prison for two months.
