GAME Lac....—Saturday, a warrant was
issued upon the deposition of a common informer, named Wise,
to search the house of Richard I) ty, an old man living in Stlitt
Martin's-lane, for game. Puron, a p.!trol, went, accompanied
by Wise, and found in the old rhan's bed-room. seven phea,ants
and four hares, which with illy himself were h:•ought before ;he
sitting Magistrate, G. It. M:Nsitut.i.., Esq.
Mr. Missuuct fined the defendint in the.penaity ()TICS upon
each head of game, amounting in th;.t wltole-to
The defendant said lie was totally itizapable of paying such
a sum.

Mr. Mnrsnum, (as empowered by tip, Statute) betted a war-
rant of distress itainteer against the defendant').goods•and chat-
tels. Purton went to execute it ; art a:%l one of his co-
adjutors picked up the game, ‘vlt'efi wits strewed about the
Office floor, and were waikhig off %Nee% it, when a Gentle-
man suggested that the Statute did net eeelare th'e forfeited game
to be the property of the informer, but left it cruirele.at the dis-
posal of the Magistrate. Mr. :11INSIIULL said that WAS quite true,
and ordered the game to be conveyed to St. Martin's workbouie
for the benefit of the poor inhabitants. The informers did nut
volunteer to carry it there, but dropped it on the flsur as though
they had burnt their fing?ra. •
Parton returned with a broker, whom he ha.l employed to
value the goods, and the latter stated titat the 'Like of r 4 be

Mr. illtNsHty.t. said he must commit the defendant for three
months, there not bang goods sufficient t covet' the amount of
the penalties, and the tlistre-s would end in nothing. '
%Viso submitted that the .1(t empowered the Magistrate to
levy distress, and if there was not luificient to cov:r the amount,
then the good, must go in pert payment of the penalties, and
the defendant he committed for a certain period:
Mr. Mitssunni. said, the words of the Act were, " in default
of sufficient distress the defendant shall be committed,' &c. and
he could not conceive that the Legislature intended that a man
should have his goods seized and be imprisoned too.
'1 he defendant was committed for three months to TothilL
fields liridewell, there to be kept to bard labour.

MANsvow-Hoirsm—A day r two ago, a Miss Simpson applied
for a warrant against Moiis. Thoury, perfumer, of Laurence
Pountney-lane, on the ground that, on going to his house, nn
Wednesday forenoon, to buy some oil for the hair, he had vio-
lated her person in the shop, and, by stopping her mouth with
her own hands, prevented her alarming some persons who were
at th,• time in the parlour. Miss Simpson was accompanied by
her mother and a Medical Gentleman ; and Alderman MINTER,
who was sitting fur the Lard Mayor, caosoled the Lady that no
moral stain himd upon her character, and dispatched a Mar.hal-
man to bring the culprit before him. The complainant waited
for some dive in great perturbation, hut the party could not be
found. The ca,e was then necessarily postponed till next day,
when Thoury was brought up, but nu prosecutrix appeared.
llis Lordship, suspecting so ne foul play, ordered the injured
girl should he searched tun, and she was led in in tears. She
averted her face from the prisoner at the bar, and upon being
asked whether she had any complaint to make against him? re-
plied," Alas, I have; he is the will& as dune the had."

The Loan MAYOR.—" You mean that he used force of the
worst kind towards you, and that there was no consent on your
part?" _ _

• Miss Simpson.—" Consent! ah no, none. What! T consent
to such a thing ! no, no, never. But he has a wife and family,
and I shouldn't like to hang him."

The LORD MAVoR.—" I understand you were quite deter-
mined to prosecute when you first came here. AVhat has led
you to alter that intention?"

Miss Sampson.—" If I go on, he'll certainly be hanged,
for he knows he as done the /act. He don't deny it.
The Loan Nlaros.—" Oh, then, you have seen him since.—
Where did you have an interview with him ?"

Miss Simpson.—" Ile came to my lodgings last night, and con-
versed with me, and I said I would not go any more against him."
The Loan MAYOR.—" And at what time did he c • nclude his
visit to you ?"
Miss Simpson.—" Tie went away is the morning.
The Lostn NIAYOS.--" In the morning ! Why where did he
sleep ?"

Simp.on—" Why, he slept in my room. How could I
send him out in such a night, when the wind watt blowing, and
therainwas r.tin ?"

The Loaf) NIATCI4.-" 011! then because the wind was hirer-
ing, and the rain was raining, you had too much humanity to ex-
pose him to the storm

Miss Simpson—" Ah! I/LAVIN knows I had. I woulen't
send out a dog in such a night, and why should I send out a
man, wicked as he is?"

Harrison, the :Marshalman, assured his Lordship that it was
quite affecting to see the meeting that took pLics.: between Miss
Simpson .and the perfumer when matters were brought to an
accommodation. Miss Simpson, in the spirit of forgiveness,
threw her arms about the perfumer's neck, and wept upon his
bosom, saying " 1 shan't swear against you no more : atv! never."

Some farther little explanations •xi ye made, and a receipt for
part of 5/. which he had ptomieed her, was produced. The per-
fumer, who could not speak a wt.' d of rnglish, declared that he
had actually been persecuted into the act now complained of.—.
Ilk Lordship, in dismissing him, however, severely censured
his conduct as a lather and a husband.

AMERICAN PUFFING.—The Americans boast their
superiority over us in :natters of literature; and
there is certainly one branch of it, in which we must
yield the palm to then: —that 0! puffing.; Listen, ye
