Bow-statism—Yesterday. Mr. Phillips, a retired coal-tiler- I
chant, apparently on the verge of 70, was brought before Sir I
RICHARD BIRNIE, charged with a certain misdemeanour in
causing and authorising the incautious and wanton use of fire-
arms, by which the lives of divers of his Majesty's subjects were '
endangered.
The complainants were .two Gentlemen, named Baxter and
Stacey, and it appealed that each of them occupies a cottage in
Wellington-place, Vauxhall, immediately adjoining to which Mr,
Phillips has some gardens and meadow-land, and a barn or two,
the gardeni being .a source of amusement 0 him in his leisure
hours. Mr. Baxter is a fancier of fowls, of which he usually
keeps a large number, and some of them occasionally trespassed
upon the gardens and ground of Mr. Phillips. The latter being
grievously vexed at this, resolved to put an end to the annoy-
ance by shooting the trespassers,. or causing them to be shot, as
fast as they made their appearance. To accomplish this expe-
dient, be had loop-holes cut in the walls of his barn, and sta-
tioned some of his retainers thereat with loaded fowling places,
and peremptory orders to shoot every one of the chicken breed
that should make its appearance upon his soil. Had this warfare
been conducted with good judgment and sound discretion, no
harm of a serious kind could have come of it, and the interference
of a Magistrate would have been unnecessary ; but the persons in-
trusted with -the guns, one of whom was stated to he a boy of 14,
were either so unskilful, incautious, or wanton, as to fire re-
peatedly into the gardens behind the cottages of Messrs. Baxter
and Stacey, and on several occasions the shot had penetrated the
windows,andsome of the family narrowly escaped being wounded.
A few mornings since, Mrs. Stacey, with an infant child in her
arms, was standing atea chamber window, and bad turned from
it scarcely a moment when a whole charge of shot came rattling
through the glass. It was totally unsafe for any of them to ven-
ture into their gardens, and it was found absolutely 'necessary to
appeal to a 'Magistrate, in order to put a stop to this dangerous
nuisance. This was the statement of the complainants, who
added, that remonstrances upon the subject to :11r. Phillips were
answered only by abuse. Mr. Baxter expressed an opinion that
there was great wantonness on the part of those who fired.
Mt. Phillips, in the Course of his defence, said, that it was
vexing, very vexing, terribly vexing Indeed, to have his gardens
overrun constantly by qui fellow 'a fowls (pointing to Mr. Bax-
ter). Ile was obliged sometimes to sow seed over, and over,
and over again,. for these d-I—sh fowls scratched and raked
everything hp: 'Desklei, he had made application to the Ma-
gistrates at'Utricur-Hall, and they had advised him, as the best
and cheapest way of going to work, to shoot the feathered tres-
passers as fast as he could : and moreover than this, there was a
design against his life on the other side, for that r—s--1 Baxter
had offered to give a man ten guineas to shoot him (Mr. Phillips),
and afterwards to pay tile passage of the assassin to Van Die-
man's Lied, that he might escape being. hanged.
Sir IL Beane—And surely, Mr. Phillips, you cannot seriously
obelieve in any such absurd report? •
1 Mr. Phillips—lndeed but I do, though. It was but the other
' day he called me Guy Fawkes, and such treatment is not to
be borne. _ _ .

Csteraort.—ln consequence of information that Mr. Goodwin,
poulterer, of Great Russell-street, had game in his possession,
his premises were yesterday searched by an officer from Hatton-
garden Office, when a hare and four pheasants were found there.
Mr. Goodwin stared that two of the pheasants had been sent by
Mr. Skirrow, of Gower-street, and two by Mr. Staples, of
High-street, Bloomsbury, for the purpose of being trussed.—
The Act, however, being imperative en poult having game
in their possession, the hlazistrates reluctantly inflicted the pe-
nalty of £25.

A couple of asses found their way yesterday forenoon •
into the Royal Exchange, and made strait for the corner where
the transactions in Foreign Sticks are carried on. A sort of com-
petition for a hearing immediately took place between the dealers
in the above commodity and their long-ear'd vi,itors, in which
the latter seemed rather to have the advantage. They were,
however, alzeivn ma rather unceremoniously. The instinct which
led them to that particular corner, as well as the fervency with
which they seemed at once to give vent to their feelings on reach.,
ing it, was a subject of no little amazement. It was observed,
that a paleness immediately overspread some of the countenances
at sight of th s uninvited visitors !

There is a singular circumstance connected with
Bideford-bridge: the tide flows so rapidly that the
bridge cannot to repaired by mortar ; the Bridge
Corporation, therefore, keep boats in employ to bring
muscles to it, and the interstices of the bridge ate
filled with those muscles; and it is supported from
being driven away by the tide entirely by the strong
threads the,e muscles fix to the stone-work : and by
an Act or Grant, it is a crime for transportation to
any person n ho shall remove those muscles, unless its
the pretence and by tke consent of the Corporative
Trustees.

Sir R. Blawit—l think you cannot complain of epithets, after
having, in the presence of a Magistrate and a crowd of spectators,
called Mr. Baiter a fellow and a rascal. You might, Sir, in
common decency, restrain your temper here.
Mr. Phillips—You don't seem to know me, Sir Richard : do
you not recollect me?
Sir R. HIRAM—Mr. Phillips, you are an acquaintance of
thirty years standing, but here I know no one, and those who
know me ought to know that I shall do my duty as a Magistrate
by you as I would byes stranger. The wanton or inconsiderate
use of fare-arms amounts to a misdemeanour, for which, if the
charge is pressed, I must call upon you to give bail for your ap-
pearance at the Sessions. I would, however, recommend some
kind of adjustment to all the parties.
Mr. Phillips said, he would consent to no adjustment with
such fellows, for his life was in danger.
Sir IL BIRNIL—Then you must give bail.
Mr. Ph illips.— But what am Ito do? I-low would you advise? I
Sir RICHARD BfiNilf.--Sit, I shall give DO advice. I am not
placed here for that purpose, ond besides I have a proof now be.

FEROCIOUS D. o.—Ye.terday an Inquest was held
on the body of D. thigh LI, in the employ ofMr. Ran-
dom, oilmen, of Whitechapel road, who on going to
s. edit to his master in the counting-house, had to pass
a house dog that *as chained up, which seized him by
the leg, and mangled it so severely as to cause his
death. One of the Jurymen asked Mr. Random why
the dog was not muzzled as well as chained? Mr.
Random promised it should be so its future!—Verdict
44 That the deceased died of mortification brought on
by the injuries he received from a dog."
An.lnoyest was also held on the body of E. Bond,
four years old, who in the temporary absence of its
mother, set its clothes on fire, by which it was so
dreadfully burnt as to cause its death in the London
Hospital. Verdict—Accidental Death.

Mr. Phillips still pressed for advice, but was desired to apply
to his solicitor, and the matter ended by its putting in sureties to
appear at the next Surrey Sessions.
Maat.i.a-BoisNz Orricz.—Yesterday, John Goyiter,a middle-
aged man, was brought up before the Magistrate, on a charge of
pa/manly, in having intermarried with three wives.
Sarah Scotsman stated she was a singleoroman, and was pre-
sent at the marriage of her sister, Lydia Scotsman, with the pri-
soner, at -Mary-la-Boone Old Church, some time in May, 1514 ;
her sister is now living.
Phoebe Laming stated, that she was married to the prisoner ea
the 16th of October, 1818, at the parish Church of St. Awn,
Westminster.—The prisoner declined saying anything ; he was
accordingly fully committed for trial, and the parties bound over
to prosecute.
"he first wife, a very interesting young woman, has four young
children ; and upon an explanation between herself and the second
wife, it appeare4 that the prisoner used occasionally to visit them
while in service, but was, in fact, residing with the third wife,
whom he married in January; 1541 ; but the moment she heard
of his apprehension, she went into the country, and has not since
been heard of.
