chants, Stationers, Carpenters, Shoemakers, and Tailors.
On these petitions being brought up—
Mr. DOHERTY declared that he was quite willing
to admit that petitions proceeding from such respectable
sources were entitled to every consideration. The Hon.
Member who introduced them had laid much emphases
on the " Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of Dub-
lin," although he Mr. Doherty) was not aware that the
Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of that or any other city, much
of necessity feel more deeply on this subject than other in-
dividuals. He was glad to her, however, that the Lord
Mayor of Dublin was in no particular degree of alarm, it
put him in mind of another Lord Mayor, who, upon the
starting of a horse emphatically exclaimed, " Thank God,
I'm not afraid."--(Laughter.)—Why then, he would ask,
should the Lord Mayor of Dublin be afraid, when the
House was now on the eve of placing on a permanent
footing the peace and happiness of the country.—(Hear.)
My Hon. Friend has told the House that the petitions
are worthy of the best consideration. What petitions are
they ? why of the carpenters, of bricklayers, barbers, &c.
And what do they prove? why the very existence
of that passion and prejudice which this Bill would do
away with. Hon. Members had stated in that House,
that petitions had been signed at the rate of 13 in x minute,
so eager were the people to express their opinion upon the
subject. He bad listened with the greatest attention
to the arguments of the Honourable Member for Dublin,
and all that he could collect from them was, the glorious
constitution of 1683 was in danger.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO W-STRk;ET.

A eiutite i;tiiiatift, arising out of the practice of ladies
wearing large bonneta at filacgi bt ain,:igerrie'nt; yesftr-
day heard before Mr. Mlntoivt.L-
The complainant (a gentleman of fortune, named gold,
who resides at West-lane, Kilburn) stated, that on Satur-
tli;.; ti t Ite,st he went to the pit of Covent-garden Then-
tee, in company a !Vs. Higgitilxittom and her son.
They were rented quietly in 16 pii .X7ittisssing the per-
formance, when Mrs. Higginbottom complained that tl.e
defendant (who subsequently stated that his name tta::
James Iliac/Liam?) was annoying her exceedingly, by
sticking his knees and elbows in her back. On remon-
strating with the defendant, he grew exceedingly abusive,
Calling Mrs. I-licginbottom a , and finally seized
(the complainant) by the collar, tore the buttons from
the im,iai of I".ii shirt, and also tore his coat to tatters. A
hoy, who was of the defendant's !sally, held his (the corm-
plainant's) hands while he was at/Ustll and beaten. After
the play was over, the defendant gave his name and address,
but the other persons who were with him, and assisted in
the assault, refused to do so.
The complainant showed the coat which he had worn
hit Oie b6e..asiln, and which exhibited several large rents.
" This is a tv:telets, your Worship," he continued,
holding up the tattered gertiztoi " of the defendant's vio-
lence.'
Mrs. Iligginilt;tt
orn'a son confirmed the statement of the
po,;::7'ely that the defendant was
complainant, and swore
lie applied the epithet
the most violent of the party, and iba.
-to his mother.

Mr. Hutchinson, who was attended by his solieton,
stated in his defence, that he went to the theatre on the
night in question, accompanied by a friend, who was now
present, and a young gentleman, who was at a bearding-
school in Greenwich. The latter happened to sit imme-
diately behind a lady who was with the complainant, and
whose bonnet was so exceedingly large that the young gen-
tleman was prevented from witnessing the performance.
The defendant's friend requested her to remove the cause
of annoyance, as several ladies had done, who were sitting
close by. The lady returned no answer, and the first act
of the play being over, the young gentleman was trans-
ferred to a scat on the advanced bench. This movement
the complainant resisted, when he (the defendant) took
him by the collar, and irr..isted upon the young gentleman
being accommodated with a seat, there being sufficient
room upon the bench. The defendant added, that he did
not either strike the complainant or tear his coat ; and de-
nied further, having used any offensive term towards Mrs.
II ig ginbottom.
" Who are you, Mr. Hutchinson ?" asked the Magis-
trate.—" I am in the Stock-Exchange," replied the de-
fendant, " and can bring forward persons of the first re-
spectability in the city to speak in my behalf."
" Yen certainly give a very different version of the busi-
ness," observed Mr. Afitismum.; " have you any witness
to confirm your statement ?" " Here is a gentleman who
was present when the alleged assanit took place," said the
defendant, " and who is willing to be sworn."
A gentleman accordingly stepped forward, and said his
name was-Lomna, and that his connexions in the city were
also of the highest respectability. He then stated that the
account given by Mr. Hutchinson was quite correct, and
that he was the person who had requested the lady to re-
move her bonnet, which was one of the most outrageous
dimensions, and more resembled a hay-stack in bulk
thin a lady's held-dress. Having taken the seat from
which the young gentleman had been driven, he (Mr.
Lomas) said to the lady, " Really, Madam, your bon-
net is of such a tremendous size, that I cannot see a
particle of the performance : I must trouble you to re-
move it." An altercation then began between the com-
plainant and Mr. Hutchinson ; but the latter never streck
the former, nor did he apply the term -- to the
female, although her conduct was any thing hut that of
a holy. _ . .

Mr. Mimstscet, asked Mr. Higginhottom if he meant
to swear that the defendant had applied the 'obnoxious
epithet mentioned to his mother?—Mr. Higginbottom
declared upon his oath that he had stated the fact.
Mr. MinanoLL.—The charge of assault is proved, and
I must call upon Mr. Hutchinson to find bail.
A gentleman, who declined to give his name, but who
said lie was a friend of the complainant, and a house-
holder in Berkeley-square, said lie hoped Mr. Lomas would
also be called upon to enter into securities, he having been
one of the persons by whom Mr. Sadd had been assaulted.
Mr. Minsmum..—l shall certainly call upon Mr.
Lomas to find bail also. I am finite convinced of the
respectability of all parties, and am induced to believe
that tke defendant and his friends were irritated in [OA-
sequence of the refusal of the lady to take off her bonnet.
The practice of ladies wearing large bonnets at theatres,
and other places of public amusement, is certainly very re-
prehensible.
The two defendants were then allowed to depart, Mr.
Thomas Sidney Hewett, solicitor, of Tokenhouse-yard,
having become one of their sureties, and they having en-
gaged to produce another.
Three respectable inhabitants of St. Martin's-court came
before Lir It. BIKHIE for his advice and assistance under
there circumstances :—They stated that they suffered con-
siderable annoyance, and were greatly injured in the husi-
ness which they respectively followed, owing to a shop in
the court, the windows of which were filled with political
caricatures, which collected such crowds of idlers as com-
pletely to block up the passage. Butchers' boys with their
trays, and bakers with their baskets, were continually stop-
ping before the windows of the shop in question, com-
menting on the prints and pictures exhibited there. One
of the applicants complained that the crowd of persons wee
so great as to frighten away his customers ; and another
said, that one of the panes of glass in his shop-window
was smashed that morning owing to the pressure of the
crowd.

Sir R. BIRNIE asked if the prints exhibited were of an
immoral tendency ? One of the complainants answered,
that tome of them certainly were, but they had chiefly a
political bearing.
" We are a nation of politicians," observed Sir R.
Buostit, " and I confess I can see no great harm in stand-
ing before a window and looking at a few pictures."
" But some of them are really indecent," observed one
of the applicanta : " for instance, there is a picture in the
window representing his Grace the Duke of Wellington in
a very unequivocal posture with a lady."
" Pho !" said the Chief Magistrate, " I know the thing
you allude to. The picture is an allegorical representation
of the Duke of Wellington about to violate the Constitu-
tion, by admitting the Catholics to power. lam sorry I
cannot assist you; but I can see no means of doing as. If
the shop is a nuisance, you should call upon the pariah to
indict the owner."

The applicants said that the Lord Mayor, when a similar
application had lately been mare-to hiin, told the com-
plainant to bring the offender to the Mansion-house, and
he would know how to deal with him.

Sir R. BraNIE admitted that the applicants suffered a
very great hardship, and advised them to call in the
assistance of the parish constables to disperse the lamb,
course which the applicants declared they should certainly
pursue.
Mr. Miera, the jeweller in the Strand, whose shop
nearlyjicee Exeter Change, waited upon Sir R. BusDux, in
the course of the morning, to give information of an attempt
at fraud which had been practised upon him. On Wed-
nesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, a yonng
MAR, very fashionably dressed, wearing a handsome cloak,
came into his shop, and asked to see some articles in gold
which were in the window. After looking over the articles
for some time, the young man selected some of them,
amounting to upwards of 41., and desired them to be put
up for him. He then drew forth a pocket-book, contain-
ing a large bundle of Bank-notes, and selected one for 5/.,
which he tendered in payment for the jewellery. Mr.
Miens immediately perceived that the note which was
offered to hire was a palpable forgery, and he said so to
the young man, who no sooner heard the word forgery
uttered, than he attempted to make his escape. Mr.
Miens, who was at the opposite side of the counter,
stretched over and seised the cloak, when the young man
Blipped it off his shoulders, and dropping kis hat at the
same moment, darted out of the door into the street, leav-
ing both hat and cloak behind him. Mr. Miers pursued
him crying " Stop thief !" but th.r! fellow was two nimble
for him, for he jumped into a cabriolet, which was evidently
waiting for him, and he was driven off with the utmost
rapidity. Mr. Mien, on examining the hat, found that
it was of Irish manufacture, arid quite new, from which
circumstance he inferred that the young man had just
come from. Ireland. Mr. Miens added, that he had read
in a newspaper lately, that a great quantity of Bank of
England notes had been manufactured in America, and
transmitted from that country to Ireland, for the purpose
of being circulated. This was, probably, the first attempt
in London to carry on this new system of uttering forged
notes.
Sir R. Bisonx told Mr. Mien to go into the clerk's
office, where his information would be taken upon oath, in
order that it might be transmitted to the Governor and
Company of the Bank of England.
MARYLEBONE,

Yesterday a most extraordinary charge of felony WM
made before Mr. Ravrunsen, by Mr. Thomas Ta-
bour:2, eon of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Tichbourn, of

the Hon. East India Company's service, agliest fit'

tercepted at Dover, and she is now a prisoner in Ckeketn:
