RIGHT of CARTAGE of GOODS WITHII

THE CITY.

A body of men, called the Fellowship of Cu'''
men, claim the exclusive right of carting goods for
hire in the City. The Corporation exercises a eon'
troll' over this fellowship, prescribes the number of
carts which shall be licensed, and under the author;
rity of an Act of Parliament, settles the amount of,.
the fares which they shall exact. The number o'
carts allowed by the Corporation to perform the
i
cartage business of the City is four hundred and
twenty. But many tradesmen of extensive busine°
who formerly allowed their customers to take home
their goods, or hired the town-carts for the purpose;
now keep carts of their own in which they send hell°
their goods, and charge their customers for the,
cartak.,. This is held to be an infringement ru
the privileges of the fellowship, and liable 0
punishment. Many persons have set up sprier
carts, and let them for hire to convey tpoig.
of a particular description, such as wine, for wine'
the common carts, without springs, are less suited.
This is also held to be an infringement of the privy'
leges of the fellowship, which it is computed are
daily invaded by upwards of 4,000 vehicles of th
two descriptions which have come into use withi°
the last fifteen years. On the part of the fellow
ship, proceedings before Magistrates have in one or
two instances been taken; but it has been held that
the words of the Act only gave the Corporation
power over carts which were licensed. It is coo'
tended by the owners of the new carts that all ft:er,
men have a right to set up carts for hire in the calf,
and that the fellowship have forfeited the whole 0'
their privileges by the sale of a part of them to the
East India Company and the Dock Companies. 021
the opinion of a lawyer of some eminence in t",e
city, they deny the validity of any act of Coane-
,
Council inflicting fines not expressly sanctioned bl '
Act of Parliament. In consequence of some In:r,
ceedings which are in progress, these questions %YIP'
no doubt, be brought for decision before the Cart
of King's Bench, when the general validity of net°
of Common Council will in all probability be deter
mined.

Prince METTERNICH has been robbed of I,'
valuable collection of very rare medals, which he bad at h°

least.

A report that Lieutenant-Colonel Sir CHAS'
CUTLER, Bart., commanding the 69th Regiment at Alb'
lone, had been shot by one of the soldiers under his eollv
mand on Tuesday last, has been in circulation, and has ob'
tained very general belief. We are happy to have it is
our power to give it a complete contradiction. The riv
moor had it its origin from the fact that Sir Citaal's9
CUTLER, having accidentally fallen from his horse.l
Tuesday last, when in front of the regiment, which its"
been firing blank cartridge at the time. Sir Cflasos
suffered some injury from his fall, but is now dota
well.— Limo- ick Chronicle.
