for the animal ; but as he had not so much money in his
possession, he wished Harrison to take a bill for 14/. 10s.,
drawn in favour of Anderson, by one John Owen. Harri-
son did not like to accept the bill, as his instructions were
to return home with either horse or money: However, as
Anderson said the bill would be duly ho❑oured, and as
a respectable looking man, named Brown, who was
sitting in the room, said it was a capital one, he con-
sented to accept it in payment for the horse, but
upon the understanding that Brown would instantly cash
it. The horse was then formally delivered to Andersen by
Harrison; and Brown began to fumble in his pockets to
find the money. He, however, said, he had not enough
of gold in his possession to cash the bill, and that he must
go home. Harrison was now alarmed, and while he was
endeavouring to descry which road the horse with Ander-
son and the other man had gone, Brown made his escape.
Anderson and Tottnan were taken on Friday; in their
defence they said, that there bad heel► a regular sale of
the horse ; hut they were committed for stealing the animal.

M ARY-L A-BONN E. On Saturday,Jo,cplt Mayfey,
carter in the employ of Mr. Jonah Parkes, the contractor
for repairing the Edgeware-road, was charged by Lord
William Lennox, with having seriously damaged his Lord-
ship's phaeton, by his negligent driving. From his Lord-
ship's statement, continued by his footman, and Wiliam
Moore, coachman to a lady named Sneyd, it appeared, that
his Lordship was driving his phaeton, in which was her
Ladyship, along the Edgeware-road, on Wednesday after-
noon ; the phaeton was on the pear side of the road, con-
sequently there was sufficient room on the other side
of the road for the defendant (who was not guiding
his horses, but Sitting on the cart), to have passed. The
defendant, however, drove his vehicle so close to Lord
William Lennox's carriage, that one of the wheels of his
cart came in contact with the hinder wheel of the phaeton,
and the shock was so great that the phaeton was turned
completely round, and almost shattered to pieces. Her
Ladyship was naturally very much alarmed, and her screams
brought his Lordship to her assistance, who took her out
attne phaeton, and placed her in Mrs. Sneyd's carriage,
which was following close behind ; and he then went in
pursuit of the defendant, whom he overtook at a short
distance from the spot. The careless driving was clearly
proved, fur it was stated that a carriage had passed the
phaeton before the defendant arrived opposite to it; and
his Lordship added, that on passing up the Edgeware-
road, on Friday, he observed three or four carts in a line,
which were employed in repairing the road, committing
precisely the same offence as that with which he charged
the defendant. In consequence of the injury his Lord-
ship's phaeton had sustained, her Ladyship, accompanied
by Lord William, proceeded home in Mrs. Sueyd's carriage.
The defendant said he attempted to get out of the way
as quickly as he could ; hut Mr. Hoskins informed him
that he should convict him in the full penalty of 40s. ;
and he wished it to be understood, that if any of his com-
panions were brought before him, he would fine them as
heavily as the law allowed him.

His Lordship considerately agreed to pay half the ex-
pence of repairing the phaeton (between 301. and 400,
the other half, of course, to be defrayed by Mr. Parkes.
UNION-HALL.—Saturday, a young man, named M.
Loman was charged with exciting Mr. Bobbett to fight a
duel. It appeared that Ht. Loman and Mr. Bobhett
dined with a large party of gentlemen at a tavern, where
they all 'got pretty well drunk. Mr. Loman and Mr.
Bobbatt left the tavern together, and on the road borne,
Mr. Bobbett said that Mr. Loman made himself very ridi-
culous by accosting several females, and in the Waterloo-
road, he insulted a poor ragged boy in such a manner,
that Mr. Bohbett was induced to inform Mr. Loman that
he acted very ungentlemanly, and if he persevered in such
conduct, he would quit his company. On the road Mr.
Loman dwelt very much on the term ungentlemanly, and
when he got home (they both reside in the same house), he
sent up a challenge to Mr. Bobbett (who had retired to
bed) to fight him instanter. Mr. Bobbett immediately
got up, slipped on his trowsers, and came down stairs
to ask some explanation ; and Mr. Loman, seeing
Mr. Bobhett without coat or waistcoat, thought he ac-
cepted the challenge, threw himself into a pugilistic atti-
tude, and gave Mr. Bobbett such a blow in his side, as
almost to deprive him of breath. Mr. Bobbett made the
best of his way to bed again, and having no relish for such
encounters, he took out a summons, and demanded that
Mr. Loman should be bound over to keep the peace.
Mr. Loman explained, that when he saw Mr. Bobbett
enter the parlour without coat or waistcoat, he thought he
came there to beat him ; and he was therefore, determined
to have the first blow. He was now sorry for it, and had
no intention of calling Mr. Bobbett out.
This apology was accepted, and Mr. Bobbett and Mr.
Loman left the Office. ,
