(IPPOSITION TO THE REGULATIONS
AT WATERMAN'S HALL.

The Watermen, who do not like to submit to the
regulations of the new Act relating to Watermen, and who
Wish to have the old system, under which they could im-
Pose upon and insult the public, restred, occasionally
show some of the spirit by which theyo are actuated, at
Gravesend, where they have, of late, been in great busi-
ness. A few days ago several of them were summoned
before the Mayor of that town, for having violated the
tegUlations in various ways, particularly as regarded their
Conduct upon the arrival of steamers.
Martin,, the beadle, was proceeding in his evidence
"bast one of the defendants„ when he suddenly received
lehat is called in slang-language a " topper" from him..__
The beadle immediately tumbled prostrate at the feet of the
IlayOr, and the Town Clerk approached the assailant for
the purpose of preventing any further violence.—This
functionary, however, calculated too sanguinary upon
his Power to quell the fury of the waterman, for as soon
1$ he approached, in the name of peace, be received such
k salute as astonished and confounded him ; an officer who
interfered shared the same fate, but at length the defendant
Was secured and placed at the bar. After having under-
Rene an examination, he was committed to Maidstone
14Pan,'
i for trial. It is believed that he would, if not reso-
-4,,,,e1, ePPolied, have attacked the Mayor.
tit4-'ll Thursday upwards of seventy watermen were sum-
d'io Waterman's Hall. The charge against some of
lra was the serious one of having employed persons not
'ittermen to navigate barges. The danger to which such
ZaP,riments led upon the river, rendered it necessary to
the, Penalties Without mitigation.
r,tta of eases were charges for working without hay-
neenttes and numbers marked on the boat, and ply-
:B'
.out of order at the steam-vessels. Amongst those
.„,7ett, (and almost all were fined) were two Queenhithe
47,erten, who have been in the habit of boasting that
innever would be fined. These defendants were mulct
"le sum of 40s. each for abuse.
