the servant of Mr. Rawlinson, a fishmonger, in ing-
street, Portman-square, was charged with remaining

Portman-square, for about two hours on Tuesday
evening, and knocking violently at the street-door,
snaking a great noise, thereby causing a number of
persons to assemble round the house. It also appear.
ed, that the defendant and his master had, for some
time past, pursued similar conduct ; Mr. R. some-
times taking a chair to Mr. B.'s door-way, and smok-
ing a pipe, &c. On Tuesday the prisoner particularly
annoyed Mr. B. on account of his having a party to
dinner ; when he reeatedly desired him to go away,
inn he refused. Mr. B. in consequence horse-whip- '
pea' him ; but this did not have the desired effect, as
he persisted in remaining there, to the great annoy-
ance of Mr. B. and his party. Mr. R. justified his
own, and servant's conduct. who acted by his direc-
tion, as he could not get his bill paid for fish. Mr.
Mutes, the Magistrate, observed, that Mr. B.'s not
paying his bill, did not justify their conduct, and or-
dered' the defendant to find bail.

public importance was decided at this office. D. Gib-
es, a hackney-coachman, was fined 10s. a few days
Since, for exacting 3s. from a gentleman, in Dorset- 1
Street, Manchester-square, for a fare of Is. The deal'
fence at that time was, that there were six persons in
the coach, and le. per bead over, Jour was charged ; '
two, however, were children., Commissioners
have decided against the ccavictieen. on the grounds
'that no person can be. Cosineivod any thing less than
in adult who can sit algae, By this decision the con-
', fiction is cancelled.
M. Dance was charge by .W. Thorogood, an Ex-
thse Officer, with vending sprits without a licence.—
The defendant went to a public-house in the Hay.
fnarket, and offered the Excise Officer, whom he sup-
Posed to be the landlord, some spirits. The Officer
got the spirits into his possession and secured the de.
' lendant. He was sentenced to pay a fine of £lO, in

GUILDHALL.—G. Jones, sen. and jun. B. Medley,
and G. Lassen, were charged with a violent assault
• on the patroles and natchmen of St. Andrew's, Hol-
born. J. Myatt stated, that between one and two in
the morning be obseried the prisoners in altercation
with the drivers of some hackney-coaches on Holborn-
hill, and endeavoured to persuade them t o disperse, and
to summon the coachman before a Magistrate ; iq-
\ stead of which they put themselves in a posture of at-
-1 tack, when their noise attracted the attention of other .
officers of the aght, who approached, and in a few
, seconds a general engagement took place ; at length,
however, they were ct nquered, and :onveyed to she
watch-house.. In support of this testimony a variety
of winteises were called, who exhibited their beads,
noses, &C. on which were evident symptoms of a
severe contest. The defendants stated, that they
were lightermen, and on returning from a friend's
house through Holborn, were endeavouring to induce
a hackney-coachman to convey them to their houses,
When the patrole accosted them in the most insolent
Manner, and actually struck Mr. J(.nes, sin. this Pro-
duced a counter compliment, n and so the row be-
gan ;" when the watchmen drew their cutlasses, and
t used them in the most violent manner. In correbo.
ration of which Mr. Jones shewcal his head, on which
were several very severe wounds yet bleeding. Mr.
Alderman MAGNAY observed, that this was not the,
first occasion on which be had been obliged to repro-
bate the too free use of the cetlass, which, in the prc.
' sent instance, seemed to have been used with no ordi-
nary violence. Had not this been the case, he should
certainly have taken notice of the assanlt ; but, as an
unnecessary as well as unjust degree of force had been
used, he should dismiss the complaint.

.Chain public-house, in the Tower, with having pri-
vately entered his bar, and stole thereout n'B, in sil-
