MANSION-HOUSE.

Captaia Gvwrst, of the Royal Sovereign steam vessel, bur-
ies 166 tons, was summoned before the bred 3layor, for
having conveyed passengers for hire to Woolwich without
bring a freeman of the Waterman's Company. The pew.
cation was at the instance of the watamen, who tompinn
that they and their families have been completely starved rut
by the steamers.
It was stated upon the part of the watermen, by the 7th
and Bth of George the Fourth, it was provided that any rer-
son, not being one of the Waterman's Company, conveyind
passengen for I.lre on the river Thames, should be subjettol
to a penalty rot exceeding 101. On the occasion compla:n,.l
of, a great launch was given at Woolwich, and the steam.
vessel carried down between 6 and 700 passengers, who, it
might be presumed, would have pi: in the small craft pos-
sessed by privileged individuals, if the steamers did not cen-
tinue to monopolize the river.
Capt. Grant admitted that he was not a freeman of ter
Waterman's Company.
J. E. Cutler, beadle to the Waterman's Company, krew
die Royal Sovereign steam craft, and Capt. Grant, who was
on beard on the occasion charged in the summons. Captain
Grant stood on the paddle.box.
J. W. Bean, a watennan, was on board the Royal Sove-
reign, and heard Captatn Grant say to the crowds on bond,
" Gentlemen, why do you all stand on that side ? It is not
safe." The steam watt went to Woolwich. The paddle-box
was the place usually assigned by Captains for them-else..
Benjamin Payne saw Captain Grant receive money from
the passengers.
Upon the part of the defendant, it was con'ended that the
steam-vessel, beinA regularly registered at the Custom Houle,
and not entered, like little boats, at Waterman's Hall, was
not affected by the Act alluded to. If it were, au Indianian
must be subject to the same sort of rule.
The Loan MAYOR, who confined with the City Solicitor,
convicted the defendant in the penalty of 101. The defendart
gave immediate notice of appeal.
