MARYLEBONE.

On Tuesday night there was a great disturbance
at the ited Lion public-house, in Hampstead, and
on the following morning William Valentine, a cor-
poral of the Coldstream Guards, was brought before
Mr. RAwuNsoN, by Richard Saunders, a constable,
as being the principal actor is it.
By the evidence of the landlord, it appeared that
three corporals of the above regiment came to his
house, and called for half a pint of gin. They got
into a dispute with other persons who were there,
respecting the occurrences of the last war. Words
gave rise to blows, and in the scuffle some of the
parlour furniture was broken, and one or two per-
sons were wounded in their hands by the prisoner's
bayonet.

Saunders was called in by the landlord to quell
the riot. Ile found the soldiers and others all fight=
ing together ; he endeavoured to part them, and the
prisoner drew his bayonet, and stabbed the man he
was contending with through the hand.
Mr. RAWLINSON said the charge became very se-
rious, and asked if the wounded man was present ?
—Benjamin Harrison, a Hampstead constable, told
him there were two persons injured, and neither of
them would come forward miles: they were pool-
pelted. All the parties were drunk, and all were in
fault.

Mr. RAWLINSON insisted upon their being brought
before him, and postponed the ease till yesterday.
A sevant belonging to the Coldstreatn Guards
gave tie prisoner an excellent character, and said he
had no doubt Sir William Gl:eville would do the
same if it was necessary : and he becaMe reepon-
sible :or the prisoner's appearance when required.
Yesterday the inquiry was re3umed, and a person
lamed White, and another, were present with
the/r han4s bpund up, but they refused to 'rake
any eltarge, 4ecatpe? 'they sal.i4; f' It was an affray
altogether,`'
Mr. RAWLINSON told them he was determined, if
possible, to ascertain the whole case, and they might
have justice if they pleased; but as they had de-
clined it, he should leave the prisoner to be punished
by his commanding-officer for making such all itn-
i.opei ,I;is sdp.ertrts,
One evening last iN;eek, 'Wiwi-, sir. lio4KIN, waq
the sitting Magistrate, an Irishman, named'PatricA
surrendered himself, and desired that
he might be sent to Limerick for trial. He said he
(:)tne time afro set lire to a barn belonging
to the
. Chief BaronO'grady, and fled lt;s clammy to avoid
justice, but now lie wanted to Rutke his conscience

easy by giving himself up to the law. Revenge led
him to commit the crime, for he was a tenant of the
Baron, and the Baron had made a seizure upon his
goods for rent.
He was detained, and a letter was written to the
Baron respecting it, in nn answer to which, received
yesterday, the Baron says the man has told a true
story, but he does not wish to prosecute him, and
he was set at Eberty.

David Lloyd, a dealer in marine-stores, was corn•
mitted to Newgate under the following cirum-
stances :—About one o'clock on Friday morning one
of the police-constables apprehended Peter Connor,
an Irishman, in Baker-street, with a quanty of la.
belled bottles, such as stand upon apothecaries'
shelves, in two baskets, and suspecting they were
stolen, he took Connor to the watch-house, and
brought him before Mr. RAWLINSON on Saturday.
Connor said he bought them of Lloyd, at his shop
in Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, on Thursday
morning; he was a dealer in bottles, and after
hawking them about among the doctors all day
without success, he stayed till a late hour in a
public-house, and was intercepted in Baker-street
as above.

Mr. RAWLISSON sent an officer to fetch Lloyd,
and when he came he denied haring sold the bottles
to Connor, and said he did not even see him on
that day.

It has since been discovered that the bottles and
some poultry were stolen from the chaise-house of
Mr. Smith, in the lidgeware-road, three days before
they were found in Connor's possession. Connor
yesterday brought several witnesses forward to prove
that he bought them out of Lloyd's house on the
Thursday morning, and Lloyd was sent for trial.
