coachmaster, at the suit of Thomas Simpson and John
Richards, for carrying too many outsides on the
Hendon coach. After Richards had given evidence
on the first information, the case, at the request of the
Defendant, stood over till next week. On the second
information, Richards had sworn that the coach was
drawn by two horsef, when it turned out to have
been drawn by four, and the informer, on being ques-
tioned by the Magistrate, said he was 'whin,' the
coach, but he thought it had been drawn by two
horses. The information was discharged with costs,
and Mr. Eaton solicited for Richards's address, ob-
serving, that he should prosecute him for perjury.
The landlord of the Hole-in-the wall public house,
Grosvenor Mews, yesterday underwent an examina-
tion on the charge of robbery. A servant belonging
to the Duchess,of Manchester paid for sotne porter in i
the said house, when he had in his pocket a 101. note.
• In half an hour after he had left 'the house, he missed
the note, and concluded he had dropt it in the public
house, but on his making enquiry, the landlord and
his wife said they knew nothing of it, when the ser-
vant gave'them the number, to stop it if it should be
offered for change. The note was stopped at the
Bank a few days since, and it was proved to have been
paid in by Mr. Whitbread's clerk, who received it of
the publican, who had indorsed k. The publican said
he had received it in the way of fair trade,_ but did
not know of whom. He was committed' for re-ex-
amination.

HAI ON GARDEN.—E. hp?, autai My Hearty,
aged 82, who has been 76 times arraigned at the Old
Bailey, was yesterday charged with stealing a pair of
scales from the shop of Mr. Rybott, in Gray's Inn-
lane ; also a pair of sheers front the shop of Mr.
Smith, in Holborn ; and a bag of lump:sugar from
that of Mr. Jordan, grocer, in the same street. He
had previously stolen a piece of bacon from the shop
of Mr. Marshal, in Brooks-market, in which fact Mr.
Marshal detected him, but in pity to his age forgave
him. This lenity, however, appears to have been ill-
bestowed, as the other crimes were all committed
within two hours after. This veteran votary of Mer-
cury is in the habit of going itito different shops with
a bag under his arm, and, while asking the price of
any article, throws his bag over any thing that lays
loose about, and takes it up therewith. He was fully
committed.
