HATTON-GARDEN.—A gentleman named Cook,
living in Camden-street, Camden-town, yesterday applied
to the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. ROGERS, for a warrant to
bring up J. Gilbert, driver of the hackney-coach No. 442,
for having made upon him an overcharge.
Mr. Cook stated, that at 20 minutes to 11 o'clock on
the Right of the 30th of October, his servant called the
coach in Wilsted-street, New-road, Somers' 4own. The
driver agreed to charge according to time, and drove, as
Mr. Cook expressed it, " with a snail's pace." When the
coach arrived, at the door of Mr. Cook's residence in
Camden-street, it was nearly 20 minutes to one, which
made the time two hours. The driver demanded 6s. for
the time, and Is. for back fare, but Mr. Cook conceiv-
ing that his legal fare was only ss. remonstrated with him,
and said if he insisted on more, fie would certainly have
him brought to justice. The driver persisted in his de-
mand, and was accordingly paid the Is.
Mr. Cook summoned the owner of the coach, John Ed-
monds, whose wife only attended ; but she seemed to know
nothing of the man who drove on the 30th of October,
and against whom the warrant was now issued. The case
stands over for Friday.
Thomas Nicholls, pawnbroker, Gray's Inn-lane, was
fined in the mitigated penalty of 40s. and costs, for charg-
ing illegal interest.
Anne Browne deposed, that on the 9th of October, she
pawned a gold ring with the defendant for 3s. 6d. and that
on the following day, the 10th of the same month, she re-
deemed it,' and was charged one penny interest for one
months, whereas the law gives but three farthings.
Upon this an information was filed against Nicholls,
who came attended by Mr. Harmer.
Mr. Harmer thought to ground an objection to the pro-
secution upon a want of formality in the information. He
said the words "gold ring" were set forth in the informa-
tion to have been pledged, whereas upon the duplicate
there appeared only the unqualified word "ring."
Mr. ROGERS thought there could be no valid or reason-
able objection in the use of the epithet "gold," as Mr.
Nicholls could not be supposed to.have lent 3s. 6d. upon
a brass ring. Whether the quality of the ring was
ex-
pressed. or not, did not, in his opinion, signify three
straws;. .he would, therefore, convict the defendant in the
mitigated fine of 40s.
By the advice of his solicitor, Mr. Nicholls appealed
from this decision of the Magistrate, and accordingly en-
tered bail.
UNION-HALL.—Some days ago six informations were
exhibited at this Office against the Proprietors of the Circus
and the Rotunda wine and concert-rooms, situate in Great
Surrey-street, Blackfriars-toad, on the complaint of some
of the inhabitants of the adjacent houses, who considered
the performances at each place of amusement illegal, and
not sanctioned by the 10th Geo. H. c. 28, which enacts
that any proprietor of a theatre suffering to be performed
therein an entertainment of the stage which comprises a
comedy, tragedy, farce, burletta, &c. without a licence
front the Lord Chamberlain, shall be 'liable to a penalty of
501. on conviction of each offence.
Yesterday was appointed for the hearing of the "_infor-
mations.
Mr. Thesiger attended to support the informations, and
Mr. Adolphus on the part of the defence.
The first information having been 'read, charging the
defendant, Mr. John Cook, the proprietor of the Circtis,
with having represented , a certain entertainment of the
stage, called Paul Pry, cr the Whimsicalities of Pun-
chinello and Judith, without a licence, whereby he had in-
curred a penalty of 501. on conviction of such offence, he
pleaded not guilty to the'information.
We have no room for the evidence or the argument.
The Magistrates, M.'SWAritty and J. T.. Norm, Esqrs„
pronounced that the exhibition of Paul ,Pry, as performed
