Ta?!or were charged by Mrs. Margaret Olivier of
Pall Mall, with making a forcible entrance into her
house, with intent to take possession.
The prosecutrix, a widow, with four children, lately
,prosecuted two persons to conviction, for taking ille-
' gal possession, at the Middlesex Sessions. no De-
fondants sent a woman named Young, und^r pre-
tence of engaging a shop and parlour, who, having
obtained entrance, they rushed in, and knocked down
the prosecutrix. Th, y were ordered to find bail.

UNION HALL—WiManz Daniel, a patrole, was yes.
terday charged with severely wounding -- Laws,
on Sunday morning.
It appeared, that Laws had been passinfy, the pre.
ceding evening, at a public house in the neighbour-
hood, where he met a sailor, who, proving to be his
countryman, both coming from Birmini;harn, Laws
invited him to his house. About two o'clock on
Sunday morning, however, becoming quarrelsome in
his cups, Laws found it necessary to bail Daniels, and
requested he would assist in turning the sailor out.—
Instead of doing this, he seized Laws by the collar,
dragged him into the street, and, on his v..ife excl• im-
ing. that her husband would be • killed, swore he
I would have his Itfe, and, striking at him with his
sword, wounded him severely on the side of his head.
Laws was .taken to the Hospital, where ,he still re-
I mains, and Daniels was remanded till he is able to
attend.

stealing, near NV:n-lu, in ES,eX, whtch case was also
made out against therti, and they were fully commit-
ted upon both charges. Within the last 12 months,

Qt EEN-SQUA - Monday Andrew M'Mahon, Esq.
Barrister at Law, preferred a serious charge against
,Irlefth Maddox, a publican residing in King-street,
Westminster, for having, in c,il'inbalition with divers
persons unknown, without any provocation, violently
assaulted him.

It appeared by the statement of the complainant,
that on Saturday night he was repe•ttedly knocked
down at the Defenciatit's door by him and others,
with an intention to take away his life, which the
watchman on that station casually interposed to pre-
vent. The wounds and contusions on the prosecu.
tor's head and visage were awful to behold. He ap-
peared pt!le and languid by the meat lass of blood.—
Amidst a great pressure of business, HEXaY
Esq. called the unfortunate Gentleman before
him, and very feelingly enquired into the cmise of his
ciniplaint, when, upon hearing the evidence of both
parties, adjudged the case made out against the De-
tlmiant fully suflicient to hold him to bail for the
violent assault at the ensuing Sessions.

Conoxrit's INQMST.—Saturday a Coroner's inquest I
was held before Mr. \VILLIS, one of the Coroners of,
the verge of the Palace Court, on the body of Mr.

of Foot Guards, who died suddenly at the Suttling-•
house, at St. James's Palace, on Thursday last, where
he had supped with the landlady and her brother.—
On standing up, to go home, he fell backwards, and
instaatly expired. The Jury's verdict—Died by the
visitation of Gon. He was in his 42. d year, a stout
athletic man, stood six feet four inches high, had on

ritorious services, obtained his discharge. He has left
a wife and four helpless children to lament his lass.
Saturday se'nnight a fire broke out at Billingbear
Farm, Binfield, which consumed two large barns full
of corn, a bean and two hay ricks, the property of the
Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke : the damage is esti-
mated at near C3OOO.

The following trick was lately played off on the
family of Mr. Brown, shoemaker, of Blackfriars-
road : the mother of Mrs. Brown resides at Dunsta- !
ble, and a few days since, a woman called on her, re- i
presenting herself as an intimate acquaintance of Mrs. I
Brown, that she had some business to settle, which '
would detain her a few days at Dt.nstable ; and, cn
account of her friendship for Mrs. Brown, she should
wish to take up her abode with her mother ; she men-
timed so many circumstances relative to Mrs. Brown's
family, that the old lady thought she could not treat
so intimate a friend of her daughter too well. During
her stay she, on some plausible pretence, borrowed
s.)me 'wearing apparel, and money ; which she for-
y,ot to return, on leaving Dunstable. She then made
the best of her way to town, to Mrs. Brown's, where
she became the intimate kiend of the mother, and
with every symptom of grief informed the family of
the recent decease of that worthy old lady ; saying,
she would intrude on their hospitality for a few days,
and return with them to the funeral. Every thing
I was accordingly prepared for their setting off for
the funeral ; but about an hour before the time of the
coach leaving town they were greatly supprised by
the appearance of the old lady in pursuit of her
daughter's dear friend ; who was astonished at the
paraphernalia of woe which her son's house displayed ;
art explanation, however, soon. took place, when it
was discovered that although Mrs. Brown had not
the ion of her mother to lament, yet she had other causes
of her mother's good friend having borrowed
several articles of apparel, and kt. in cash ; which
shy hal not yet found an opportunity to retain. .
