frey, two, lads, Were charged , with oouriehing, a ;ii'ord-
Stiek in CheaOide, o Batiiidak Lout a quarter
tiericre ten o'clock.
It appeared that these two youths were quite valiant at
the time, and annoyed • every person passing, when they
were taken into custody ; previous to which the younger
prisoprisoner (Godfrey) prodlleed sword-skid; Rita declared
ner
If any ()nicer, Watchman, or any other man, dared to
strike him, or take him into custody, he would riin that
through his guts.
The LORD Mayon--.rPiay tell ite Who and what Yon are?

the LORD MA YOR-Then, Sir, you will pay five shillings
for being drunk, and your companion may be discharged,
as I think imprisonment since Saturday has partly atoned
for your offence.

James Allen was charged with attempting to bkeak into
NO2?
hh prisoner is one of those, regular thieves who get
their living by robbing counting-houses, &c. in the City,
and on Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, he was
trying to make his way into a set of chambers in Copthall-
court, when Elizabeth Ramsay, the young woman who
had care 44 the clunbetre, detected Min, doted the
}Moil Una ka.i,e an alarin, which caused a clerk of Messrs.
Grimaldi and Stables to come to her assistance. He im-
mediately seized the prisoner, and searched him, and on
him found several skeleton keys, and other implements used
in housebreaking.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, Rik, I think the
least I say shout this matter the better for myself."
The Loan MA T01L..-4 think so too; therefore, as no
actual felony has been committed, I direct you to be sent,
under the Aet of Parliament, for three months, to the
tread-mill.

A very ittiportant question here arose ; because the Act
tart that ail property found upon a person thus convicted
";shall be forfeited for the nse of his Majesty ;" and Mr.
Hobler very naturally asked his Lordship hew his Majesty
would Make use of skeleton keys and other articles of
housebreaking
The Loan Marort laughed heartily, and admitted that
he really did not know to what purpose his Majesty might
consign them ; but one thing was certain, and that was,
that his Majesty had for three months got rid of a very
bad subject.

GUILDIIALL.—Joseph Henry George, an appraiser
residing in Thorlow place, East-Jane, Walwortl), was
brought bcfbre Sir PETER. LA URIE yesterday, charged with
conspiring with others to defraud Patrick Desmond of a
horse.

Patrick it appeared, after living as servant with a gentle-
man seven years, at , his death purchased the horse in ques-
tion of the executors, and was now desirous of turning it
into cash again. A Mr. Byers, an egg and cheese.mer-
chant; living at Walworth, took a liking to Patrick's horse;
and they met on Saturday afternoon to conclude the busi-
ness. The complainant, Patrick, was accompanied by a
neighbournamed Harrington, and Mr. Byers by two friends,
the prisoner George, and a Mr. Child. They went to the
Hole-in-the-wall, ChaaCery-lane, where the bargain was
struck. The price agreed upon was 251., and the com-
plainant expected to receive ready money, but was tendered
a bill of exchange for .28/. 18s. 6d., and accepted it, under
the assurances of Child and George that it was as good as
money. The bill was drawn by Nicholas Byers on Wm.
Palmer, of No. 49, Crescent-place, Euston-square, at two
months from the 13th ult. Child . presented himself as
clerk to Mr. Palmer, and handed the bill to Byers, who
gave it to George ; and George paid it to the complainant,
warranting its goodness. Patrick had been so plied with
liquor, that he was stupidly drunk at this time, and being
unable to write or read, made his cross to a receipt pre-
pared by one of the party, and gave Byers 31. 18s. 6d. as
the difference between the bill and the horse. After all
this had been done, Harrington took the alarm that the bill
might not be worth a farthing, and alarmed his friend
Patrick. Byers instantly ran out of the house, told
Patrick's boy, who had charge of the horse at the door,
that he had settled with hii father, pulled the boy off,
mounted himself, and would have started, had not Harrison
followed at his heels, and opportunely seized the bridle.
The prisoner had followed Harrington out, and now, with
a glass in one hand, and a measure of gin in the other, sadly
importuned him to drink. Child and Patrick next came
out of the house, and Patrick declaring himself dissatisfied
with the bill, Mr. Byers said it would not matter to him if
he paid in money, and throwing a little pocket-book to
George, cried eut, " There, go in and settle it." The book
was supposed to contain money, and Mr. Byers was allowed
to gallop off, but it proved to contain nothing of the sort,
and Mt'- Si-rcu into clurroay oriror
the gang of swindlers. Child had pri.vionsly made good
his retreat. The horse was seized next day in harness.
In George's pocket-book was found several bills of ex-
change for small sums, some overdue ; and there were me-
morandums which established that he and Byers had been
acquaintances at least since April.
After a long investigation, Sir PETER remanded Child,
George, and Byers, until Wednesday, directing inquiry to
be made in the mean time respecting the bill.
MARYLEBONE-OFFICE. —Mary Morgan, a vulgar
fat prostitute of the lowest description, was charged by
Mr. Charles Rainsford, of 79, St. Paul's Church-yard,
with the following extraordinary attempt to extort money—
At half-past four on Sunday afternoon, as Mr. Rainsford
passed along opposite St. Giles's Church, the prisoner asked
him to give her something to drink, and finding her re-
quest unnoticed, she followed him along Oxford-street, for
more than a mile, threatening to send him to the watch-
house if he did not give her a shilling. At length, near
the end of Marylebone-lane, he asked two gentlemen who
witnessed her conduct, what he had better do to get rid
of her, and they, advised him to give her in eharge, which
he did, and she was locked up in the watch-house.
After hearing the statement, Mr. RawraNsom said to
Mr. Rainsford, " I think I need not ask whether she has
any demand upon you?" (looking at the 'respectability of
his appearance and the disgusting nature of hers.)
" I never saw her in my life till then," replied Mr.
Rainsford, " and I assure you I was afraid of her."
Mr. Rawrarrsem asked—Did she say any thing else to
you? Mr. Bainsford—When she found I did-not give her
a shilling, she said she would let me off for sixpence.
Mr. RA rruNsoN—Let you off for sixpence! I never
heard of each audacious conduct in my life. (To the
prisoner.)—Where do you live ? Prisoner—ln Crown-
street, St. Giles's.

Mr. RawuNsoN—And why did you single out this
young man to insult him ? Prisoner—l am very sorry for
having offended the gentleman.
Mr. RAwmesox—l wish I could punish you more
than it is in my power to do. Mr. Rainsford—l do not
wish to press the charge further, Sir.
Mr. RAWLINSOIi-I will take her out of your hands,
and fur the sake of the public send her to the tread-mill.
She was committed fur a mouth.

MARL BOROUG IT-ST R EET. —Da yid Milan, James
Cummings, and Richard Briggs, three guardians of the
night, were charged with stealing from the premises which
they were bound to protect front robbery. The first was
a private watchman and the Litter two belong to St. Giles's
parish.

Blr. Richard Andrews, clerk to Messrs. Coombe, the
opulent brewers, stated that he resided on his employers'
premises in Store-street, Bedford-square, and that he is in
the custom of going tound the premises several times in
the night to see that all is right. Yesterday morning, be-
tween two and three o'clock, as he was going his rounds,
he saw Milan (who is hired by Messrs. Coombe as a private
watchman of their extensive premises) open the iron-gate,
descend into the cellar, and bring up a bucket of porter,
at least, two gallons. This the prisoner Milan took to the
far end of the yard and concealed it behind some
Milan then let in the other two prisoners, who began to
enjoy themselves with frequent potations from the bucket.
Witness went in search of a watchman, but none could be
found, as the two stationed in Store-street Were the two
prisoners, Cummings and Briggs. Witness, however,
succeeded after some delay in finding the patrol, and gave
all three into his charge, and they were conveyed to the
watch-house.

The Magistrate committed Milan for trial for stealing
the beer, and Cummings and Briggs he ordered to find
bail for being found upon the premises with a felonious in-
tent. They were sent to prison for want of bail.
The wretched woman who goes by the title of Lady
Barrymore, was brought to this office for the 101st time,
charged with being disorderly. She was committed, and
Pepper, the gaoler, had come difficulty in conveying her to
the lock-up.

The person charged with the murder of the
old man, Edward Gregson, of Preston, as stated
in our last week's paper, has been apprehended,
It appears that he never left the town.—Leeds
Mcroitry.

It gives us great pleasure to state, that the
manufacturers of Whalley advanced 3d. per cut
on the price of weaving on Wednesday last.
The workmen have now 2s. 3d. per cut for the
same fabric they were paid ls. for in September,
1826.—Blackburn Mail.
