UNION HALL

Yesterday Thomas Fraylen, the proprietor and driver of one of
the Clapham stage-coaches,vras brought up before L. B.Atuts,E
charged with cruelty to one of his horses. A patrol of Clapham,
named Stephen Carter, stated, that on Sunday week, about seven
in the evening, as he passed the defendant's stable-yard, at Clap-
- ham, he observed hint lashing one of his horses. At length he
alighted from the coach-box, and beat the horse about the head and
shoulders with a thick stick, but the beating only increased the at.i.
mal's restiveness, which still refused to move, when the defendant,
in a passion, pulled out its tongue, and, taking a piece of cord, tied
it round and fastened the other end of the cord to ha tar; after
which he got upon the coach-boz, and drove on with the poor
hone's tongue hanging out of its mouth.
Mr. Franks, the vestry-clerk of Clapham, brought forward Jas.
Clousely, a farrier, who stated that he attended the horse in ques-
tion, which appeared to have suffered from ill-treatment. When
the hone was brought to him, the tongue was hanging out of its
mouth, and a great portion of it was diseased, apparently in conse-
quence of some tight ligature having been bound over it, which
stopped the circulation, and caused a stagnation of blood in the
tongue, a part of which he was obliged to cut off (about the length
of his finger), to prevent mortification taking place. .
The defendant at once admitted that he had tied his horse':
tongue in the way described, to prevent Mm front kicking and
plunging. It was a stubborn and a vicious animal, and he was
obliged to have recourse to the means spoken of, when every other
failed. After he had tied, the tongue, and driven on a short dis-
tance, he desired his friend, who was passing on the road, to release
it from the fastening, but instead of cutting off that pan of the cord
which went round the tongue, he only cut off the ends, leaving the
tongue still tied. This latter circumstance he (the defendant) was
not aware of until some time afterwards, when he found the card
still remained tight, which he instantly unloosed. This it was, he
said, that caused the injuries described by the farrier.
The defendant was fined .C 4 and torts, Which he paid in the
course of the day, and was discharged, after having received a se-
vere lecture on the cruelty of his conduct.
THAMES POLICE.OFFICE.
Yesterday, Mr. John Glascow, Master of the ship Promise, a'-
peered to an information filed against him for having on board a
quantity of gunpowder, contrary to the Statute.
Mr. Ponsford, one of the officers belonging to the West India
Dock Company, deposed, that on the 9th instant he (the witness)
searched the Promise; she was then lying in the 131ackwall basin,
and found a cask of gunpowder weighing 71b. which he seized.
The defendant stated, that until the officer came on board he had
not the slightest knowledge of the gunpowder being there; and was
quite certain it must have been taken in before he joined the ship.
The Magistrate said his not knowing what be had on board the
ship would not excuse him from the penalty which the Act of Par-
liament inflicts: it was the duty of every Master to knew what his
ship's cargo consisted of : the law upon the case was ltnperatiee.—
Defendant was adjudged to pay a penalty of Si.

Mr. West, who was a dancer and subordinate actor in

extreme indigence, in his seventy-sixth year.
