GUILDHALL.

Yesterday, in disposing rf a case where a woman had been de-
tected in attempting to pass a bad shilling, Mr. Alderman Con-
LAUD remarked, the practice of uttering base coin had increased to'
such an extent. that the attention of Government, and the law-of-
leers of the Crown, he understood, were now engaged In fragrant
a Bill which would make it a capital offence to be found uttering
bad money, having other counterfeits in possession at the time, or
to be found uttering, having been once before convicted of a like
offence. As many as forty cases of uttering had come snider the
cognisance of the Solicitor of the slifit at the different police offices
in the course of last week.
Wm. Allen, a drover, was fined 101. and costs for wantonly and
cruelly ill.treating a cow in Smithfield, on the 14th of January in.c.
The complain was laid by Lewis Gomberts, the Honorary Se-
cretary to the Society for preventing Cruelty. who found the de-
fendant and a crowd of others, setting dogs at and beating the
poor animal, which bad dropped from weakness. It was at length
dragged into a yard In Smithfield, and.singlitered.
The Stewards of a Benefit Society called the Josephs, held at the
Flying Horse, In Grub-street, attended before Aldermen Cen-
tavo and Lucas, to answer the complaint of Maria Hemming', the
wife of John Hemmings, a member, who had been unlawfully
expelled the saki Society.
The complainant deposed that her husband bad contributed to
the funds of the Society above 50 years, and that about four months
since be became ill, being affected with a "Wind blood and
asthma. The box bad been shut for nine months past as far as
regards allowance to the sick, and having no assistance from the
Society, but supporting bee husband and family by her own la-
boor, she was unable to clear the books on the last meeting-night.
Else went to the meeting, however, sod stated her distress, begging
that she might be allowed some time to make up the amount due,
(Os. 4d) and the Secretary desired her to bring a medical certifi-
cate of her husband's ill health. She obtained this certificate. but
learnt subsequently that the club bad expelled her husband. It the
Secretary bad told her the rules, as to clearing the book., must be
complied with, she would have pawned clothes to the amount. or
could have borrowed it front a person by whom she is employed.
The stewards replied that they Warn pert In. and thereon
were not concluded by the conversation with the Secretary; and
that if the Articles were not complied with strictly upon all occa-
sioes, they would become useless. The course pointed out by the
Articles could not be legally deviated from. The whole of the so-
ciety's stock did not now exceed £lOO.
• The Aldermen were unanimously of orioles that the society
might relax the rigour of their rules ; that the consent of their of-
ficial organ to a relaxation in this case was binding on the Whole,
and that the expelled member must be reinstated on paying up the
arrears at the next meeting.
Mr. Alderman Cayman humanely gave the poor woman a few
shillings to assist her.

The gentleman gave the following account of the rubbety,which
will show with what consummate skill these feats are elected :
The gentleman said that whilst he was standing near Messrs.
Ellis's shop, half a dozen well-dressed men pushed against bins—
sweeties their intentions, he kept hold of his watch with hisham:
' but did not take the precaution of putting the seals out of sight.
He continued to guard his property in this manner for some time.
when he felt some one twitching at his bat behind, he instantly put
his baud up to his head, but on feeling for his watch, it was gone
This seemed to have been the work of a moment. Perceiving a

standing upwards adz feet high, made after the rascal, and lle
just got his head upon his shoulder, when he received a blow on
his back, and beard a person at the same time say, ' Master is this
your watch?" This salutation, of course, made the gentleman in-
stantly turn round. when the person who addressed him was the
prisoner WiMants. Of this he was meat positive, for the prisoner
shook before him some chains and seal., which beheld in his hand ,
by this means the other person, whom he bad been pursuing, ri
aped, and the prisoner likewise darted away from him.
Mr. Qualms said that a clear case bad been made out against
Williams, and sent him instantly over to the Mansion House, as

man, who described bimseU as a professor of writing, was brought
up on a warrant, charging him with assaulting his wife, a female
of ladylike appearance.
On being ushered to the presence of the Magistrates, a tragi-
comic scene, of a very ludicrous description, took place.:The hus-
band earnestly, by word and action, entreated his dearest Louisa
to forgive him for this mice, and pledged his life and honour that
never would he again o6knd her. His tears and supplications were,
however, of &de avail; Mn. C. continued obdurate, observing that
no
faith was to be placed in his promises, proceeded to detail her
grievances. Among others which she spoke of, the one which
formed the subject of the present complaint was his having bevel!
het severely an last Sunday morning.
His unmanly conduct was satisfactorily proved to the Magistrates,
sad they ordered him to find good security to keep the peace to-
wards his wife for twelve months. This he was unpr, pared for,
and left the office, exclaiming that be certainly would not outlive the
▪ t.
Bing Beasky, a nymph of the pave, was charged with robbing
Jerry Connor, an Irish labourer, of a silver watch. Prom Jerry's
statement, it appeared that, on Sunday night last, the streets being
very slippery, while walking along the Commercial-road, his legs,
to use his own expression, were take uite cline from under him,
and he was pitched into the gutter. While in the act of picking
himself up, Miss Beasley approached him, and commisserating
his mischance, commenced very sedulously clearing off the mud
with her pocket handkerchief. Jerry was all thankful-
and she all attention ; but on the sudden Ike very uncere•

ness, _ ..on ; but u. —_
moniously took her departure ; after which, much to his.grief, be
discovered that she also took his silver watch as a travelling com-
panion. She denied the charge; but it being proved that she was
absent from her lodgings since the time of the robbery, and that
she had attempted to escape when the officer went to apprehend
her, she was fully committed to Newgate.
Yesterday being the relieving-day for the parish of Whitechapel
this office was beset by hundreds of unfortunate beings, whose ap-
ipeerance presented a melancholy proof of the extreme distress and
poverty which at present exist among the working classes in ge-
neral, but of those who inhabit this large district in particular.—
The time of the Magistrates was occupied until a late boor in in-
vestigating and determining on their several cases.
