Mr. MARRYAT said, there was a total absence of
any evidence of contrivance and collusion. As to
the .case put• about the horse, the highway was
neither a part, of the property demised, nor could it
be demised ; but the landlord had an interest in the
space between high and low water-mark ; and by
the lease his tenants had an exclusive right to it,
and therefore it was not like the case of a horse tied
to the way-side. If it were merely an appendage
to,the wharf, and not included in the demise, his
friend who had the lease could show it to be so.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here called for the
lease, and, the premises were read : they were," MI
that wharf, ground, and prernes next the River
Thames, abutting north on the Thames, and were
from east to west sixty-six feet, and from north to
south twenty-eight feet five inches."
Mr. MARRYAT called
Samuel Brown—Witness was one of the bargemen
Of the bankrupts. Twenty, years ago, they used to
.moor their barges opposite, their wharf, and they
then, claimed all, between high and low water7mark
as their own ground. They also frequently raked
the mud till they came to the gravel bottom, to make
space fitter for the barges.
Henry Scolell, what-finger, considered the space
opposite his own wharf, between high and low water
mark, to be exclusively for • his own benefit, and
would not allow strange vessels to moor there without
his permission.
Mr. MARRYAT observed, that they bad called the
water-bailiff, as if the City had a right to the soil..
Lord TENTERDEN said, the City of London were
certainly not the owners of the soil.
The Jury found the special verdict accordingly.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 23.

•
James Wilson, a hackney coachman, was indicted
for assaulting a Mr. Wake and a Mr. North.
The defendant was found Guilty on both indict-
ments, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three
months in the House of Correction.
'lliomas Wright, a seale-maker, residing in Hat 7
field-street, Gowell-street, was indicted for assault
ing a Mrs. Mordecai, who stated, that because she
sat on the steps .in front, of the defendant's house,
he thought proper to go up stairs, and throw a pail
of dirty water out of a window upon her, whereby
she was drenched to the skin.
The defence was, that this woman kept a bous,o
of a certain description, and that she and-her young
ladies were in the habit of exhibiting themselves in
front of the defendant's house, for the purpose of
procuring customers.
The prOsecutrix denied keeping any ladies in her
house, except hero n daughters, of whom she had
nineteen.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a collector of poidtry
was charged by a countrymad with having stolen a blind 1
pony from him on the 15th of December, 1826.
The dgetidaet said, that he purchased the pony about
six months ago, of a person whotn he `did not know, at
Romford fair, and had driven hlni ever since front' different
parts of the country with quantities of poultry, to Leaden-
hall-market.
The clerk of a salesman stated, that the defendant con-
stantly, every Tuesday and ' Saturday, brought fowls to
market, and was a most honest and industrious man.
Complainant—Ay, ay; but he had my blind pony,
though.
The defendant—l'll bring witnesses to prove that I paid
money fir ite pony in the fair.
The LORI) MAYOR Was eatisfied with the defendant's
promise to appear again before him With witnesses.
A difficulty arose here. The complainant submitted to
the Lord Mayor, that as the pony was his own, and he had
sworn to that fact, be had a right to drive him home. The.
defendant, on the other hand, was willing to swear that be
had honestly purchased the pony ; and he submitted that if
he were not allowed to drive home his old acquaintance,
he could not convey to town any of the witnesses whawere
present when be made the purchase. Neither of these ar-
guments weighed teith the Lord Mayor, who refused to
sanction either party in laying hands upon the poney.
Theparties, therefore, had a run for it ; but, strange to say,
when they got to the gate of the Mansion-house, neither
pony nor cart was to be seen.
BOW-STREET.—Marcus Unlade and Bartholomew
Uniacke, otherwise George Hamilton, were yesterday,
placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Maude, solicitor to the
Treasury, with having conspired to obtain by fraud the
half-pay of their deceased father, Bartholomew Uniacke,
formerly a lieutenant in the Bth Garrison Battalion.
Previous to the death of Lieut. Uniacke, who was re-
presented to be a man advanced in years, and very infirm
to the time of his decease, the two prisoners and their
father, another, and sister, lodged at the home of a man
named Keeling, Bride-street, Dublin. The two pri-
soners were known to this man as Mark and Bat. They
were the persons wile took the lodgings, in the name of
their father, Lieut. Uniacke, and he never heard the
younger called by the name of Hamilton. The family re-
sided with this witness from December, 1824, to the
March following, on the 25th of which month Lieutenant
Uniacke died. The father was unable to sign any docu-
ment for some time previous to his decease. The witness
was shoWn a letter written by the elder prisoner, and also
an affidavit with the name ,of the deceased Lieutenant
Uniacke attached to it. . He identified the hand writing of
the letter, and said that the signature of the affidavit ap-
peared also to he written by the elder prisoner, but he
could not positively undertake to swear to that fact. In
consequence of a communication received in Dublin, this
witness said he accompanied peace officer M‘Carthy to
Clonmel, to whom he pointed out the prisoners, who were
both attached to the police stationed in that town.
Matthew Singleton, the officer of police under whom
the prisoners had saved in Clonmel, deposed to that fact.
—On examining the letter and document shown to the last
witness, and on comparing them together, this witness had
no doubt but that the letter and signature were both in the
handwriting of the elder brother. It further appeared, by
the evidence of Mr. John Somers, chief clerk in the out-
letter-office, Dublin, 'that from 1823, to June, 1826, the
prisoners were in the habit of calling for letters from the
War Office, in London, addressed to their father. After
the latter period, a little girl, who represented herself to
be sister to the prisoners, used to call for the letters.
Mr. Maule deposed to the fact of several warrants of
attorney having been made out on affidavits hearing the
Signature of Lieutenant Uniacke, on which five quarters'
pay, amounting to 1261. 'were obtained by the prisoners,
on the fraudulent representation that their father was still
living.
The prisoners being asked if they wished to say any-
thing, the younger still persisted .that his name was Ha.
milton. The elder requested time to produce documentary
evidence from Ireland ; and he also wished, he said, to
obtain the assistance of some professional man.
The prisoners were accordingly remolded for three weeks.
MARYLEBONE.— George Bradford, under-butler to
Mrs. Vaughan, of No. 1, Lower Berkeley-street, Portthan-
square, was charged by Henry Allen, one of the footman,
with an assault. . .
After hearing the case, Mr. BAWLINSON, addressing
himself to a Mr. Clark, who attended the examination at
Mrs. Vaughan's request, said, he did not know how to ad-
minister justice more equally than to dismiss the-charge, for
both :parties had committed an assault. He hoped Mr.
Clark would let Mrs. Vaughan know what kind of servants
she had, and recommend her, if she valued the reputation
of her house and the comfort of her family, to turn both of
them out of doors.
Mr. Clark would convey the advice to Mrs. Vaughan,
and had no doubt she would apt upon it.
HATTON-GARDEN.—Henry Milburn was yesterday
brought up under a warrant, before Mr. Sergeant Seeeoe,
charged with violating the person of Eliza Guest, a child
only tan years of age. •
She went to school to the mother of the defendant, at
No. 20,_Duke's-court, Cursitor-street; he, about a week
ago, had taken her into the parlour of his mother's house,
and having secured the door, by flattery and promises suited
to her tender and childish years in order to prevent her
making any alarm, proceeded to take liberties with, and
commit very gross indecencies on her person.

After some days had'elapsed, she, however, told the cir-
cumstance to one of her school-fellows, who immediately
went to the mother, and disclosed to her what she had
heard. Mrs. Guest directly took her child to Mr. Dunn,
a surgeon. and had her examined, but it was the surgeon's
opinion, that though violence had been offered to the child,
no serious injury had been, done.
The prisoner denied that any thing of the kind had ever
occurred.
" And what, then," said the Alagistrate, "could give
rise to the prosecution ?" " Nothing," replied he, " but
to extort money from me by way of compromise." ,
It was Mr. Sergeant SELLote's opinion, however, that
he was guilty of a, misdemeanor, and accordingly bound
him in securities to take his trial at the Sessions for assault.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday, a little before Mr.
BROUGHTON left the office, two respectable looking persons
presented themselves before him, and one of them delivered
a letter from Mr, Mellish, late Member of Parliament.
Mr. BROUGHTON .brought them into the Magistrates'
room, where it appeared the applicants were a Mr. Knight
and a Mr. Boards, and that the object of their visit was to
obtain a contradiction, or at least an explanation, as to a
Worship-street report which appeared in the Times paper
on the day before.
Mr. Knight is a farmer, and brother-in-law to Mr.
Boards, in whose establishment he is a partner, and had laid
in a capital of 4,0001. ; the report of which he complained
tended much to injure him in the estimation of his neigh.-
hours and friends ; and he therefore hoped the Magistrate
would assist bins in giving it a contradiction.
Mr. Bataa:arrow had nothing whatever to do with the 1
reports of the public press, as his duty was to look to the
decisions, and see that justice was fairly administered ; and
with respect to the office, it was one for public justice, and
open for any gentleman who should, decorously conduct
himself; and for his part he could not interfere with so
powerful an engine as the public press of England. He
had hastily looked at the report complained of, and thought
the circumstances fairly narrated,
Mr. Boards was brother to the pawnbroker, and there
was in the report the word " pest," which he thought the
Magistrate never used, but with which they were upbraided
in the neighbourhood.
Mr. BROUGHTON was of opinion'the moat substantial
contradiction of time report would be an alteration of con-
duct on the part of the pawnbrokers themselves, as the
conduct of Knight and Boards' foreman Ur not only re-
prehensible but illegal. In justice to Mr. Boards, he had
to say that his conduct was not only decorous hut praise.
worthy, in consequence of which he (Mr. Broughton) in
the evening remitted the fines imposed in the morning, and
contented himself with merely compelling him to pay the
poor man and his wife for their loss of time. At this
moment the shoemaker and his wife entered the parlour
with fresh complaints against Knight and Boards, upon the
grounds that on last Saturday night, after the decision of
the magistrate, the woman was detained from eight o'clock
until half-past 11, for an article she wanted to redeem, and that
she was then obliged to go home without it ; nor did she get the
article until Monday morning ; and the second cause of
complaint was, for not having their Christian names print-
ed on the duplitate.
Mr. BuouGuroxr said, it was as illegal as it was unjust
to unnecessarily detain any persona who presented them
Selves to redeem their property.
Mr. Knight promised an alteration should take plact.
Mr. Boards -was informed the Magistrate publicly ex-
pressed a wish that the report should go before the public.
Mr. BROUGHTON-1 have already told you that I do not
interfere with newspaper reports; and do not leave this
office under the impression that I directly or indirectly in-
terfere with either their publicity or contradiction, ay any
name or sanction shall not be lent to either. The parties
then left the; offico.
