On the evening of Friday lasf, while the porter at Messrs.
"Snell's, carriers, London-wall, was talking with the waggoner,
he observed a man on the other side of the horses heisting a
chest of tea upon his shoulders, upon which the latter collared
him directly. .The fellow hallooed out, and immediately another
stout fellow came up to his assistance. Between them, they
threw the chest upon the porter's toes, which made him lose his
hold of the thief, and at the name instant the new comer struck
him a blow in the face. In the interim the thief escaped. The
porter, however, seized the fellow who had struck him, and, in
spite of a most desperate resistance, secured him. The prisoner
gave his name WM. AMIIISOIt, and said he was passing accidentally,
when seeing the row, and being drunk, he went into the midst
of it, when the porter struck him, and he, in consequence, re-
turned the blow.—CoMmitted.

Maalsiottotton-szatrr.—Mr. Turner, proprietor of the Prince
Regent public-house, Woolwich, brought up his own wife, and
.7. Locke, an F.tcaeman. He said, some days ago Locke came to
take stock• at his house, and took that opportunity of inducing
Mrs. Turner to elope with him—she taking at the same time
£5OO in cash, and other property. He obtained information
which led him to think they had gone to Dover; he went thi-
ther, and met his wife in a packet office, with her child, seven
years of age, arranging for her passage, when he seized her. She
expressed great oontrition, and agreed to return. Ile was pre-
vailed upon by her to return to Woolwich for his chaise cart,
that they might get home comfortably together. He hastened
back with the chaise, when, to his surprise, he could find no
trace of either wife or child ; but after some inquiry, he ascer-
tained that she and the Exciseman had started from Dover in a
post-chaise, on the London•road. He got some traces of them,
and followed to the Boar and Castle, Oxford-street ; and beyond
that he could obtain no clue until Friday, when he pounced upon
them in Oxford-street, charged a constable with them, and now
solicited permission to charge them with felony. Plank, on
searching Locke, tound in his pockets 112 sovereigns, one guinea,
and 12s. 6d. in silver; and tied up in a piece of old stocking, in
his coat pocket, were 50 sovereigns.—The Magistrate ordered
that the parties should be removed to the place where the offence
was said to have been committed.

HAtton-Goonm—Jahn rrantlin was charged with cutting
and maiming, John 'Reynolds with a knife. The complainant
superintended his brother's work, who is a intSin-bakt r in Great
Sutton-street, (ilerkenwell. Seeing the prisoner sterling some
muffins, he upbraided him ; the prisoner then seized a red-hot
iron, and made a thrust at the complainant, who parried it off,
when the prisoner struck him with the iron on the arm. Ile
then seized a knife, the blade of which was six inches long. Tae
complainant ran into the street, and the prisoner ran after him,
swearing be would murder him, and made a stab; which the
complainant warded off, in doing which his thumb was cut
nearly off, and he received a second cut across the back of his
hand, which cur through the sinews. The complainant then ran
back into the shop, wkere the prisoner pursued him, and again
attacked him with the knife, and cut his atm across to the bone,
when some persons came to the complainant's assistance and se-
cured the prisoner.—lle was committed for further examination.
Woasuir-svanwr.—Five Licensed Victuallers were on Friday
severally convicted in the mitigated penalties, one of 10s. two of
20s. and two of 40s. and costs, for keeping their house: open after
eleven o'clock at night. In the case of one of them, the oificers
stated they were obstructed ty the landlord, and that since th. t
night they were offered £4 not to bring' the case before the Ma-
gistrates. It appeared, however, that the landlord did not iF.tas
tionally obstruct them, and that a Gentleman of his own accord
"offered a bribe to the officers, thinking it better that he and his
friends should not appear at this Office, but the officers declined
any compromise on the occasion.
Saturday, Middlesex, a man of colour, residing in Cow-
cross, was fully conitnitted, charged with being a wholesale dealer
in counterfeit coin.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-THE New nAKEIte ACT.—Satunlay, a per-
son applied to the Magistrates for a summons against a baker in
Westminster, for selling him a loaf deficient in weight.
He went to the baker's shop to purchase a 41b. loaf, which
was put into the scale by the baker, according to the provisions of
the new Bakers' Act, and appeared fully to weigh the weight pat
into the opposite scale. He therefore paid for it as a 41b. loaf,
and took it away ; btit on his way home, thinking that it .felt
rather light, he called at a grocer's shop to have it weighed, and
found it six ounces deficient ; and he therefore proceeded di-
rectly to the Police Office to make complaint.
The loaf being weighed in the presence of the Magistrate,
proved exactly six ounces short of 41b. but on referring to the Act
passed in the laXt Session of Parliament, which repealed all for-
mer Acts relating to the sale of bread, it was found that no pes
natty was therein attached to the sale or deliiery of bread short
of weight ; and therefore tbeie was no way of punishing. the
fraudulent baker, except under the old law, which subjects to a
Pshopkeeper detected in the use or priss,:ssion of
tuitshortoY every
or deficient weights, but which cannot be put in force un-
less the weights themselves he produced in evidence.
The attention of the members of Annoyance Juries, as they
are named, should be particularly directed to this subject, as it is
on their activity, zeal, and well-directed exertions alone that the
Public must now rely for protection against the fraudulent baker
A licensed Victualler was convicted in the mitigated penalty
of 10s. and costs, for serving 3 woman with a glass of gin during
the time of Divine Service, on the preCeding Sunday. •

frier mules in a loaded waggon carelessly, came in contact with
the chaise-cart, turned the horse on the pavement, upset the cart,
and demolished the windows in the front of Mr. Payne's sl ijr,
and wttnesi himself narrowly escaped being killed. He called
several times to the prisoner to stop, as also did several other
persons; hot h continued to drive on, heedless of the damage ,
be had committed, till he was forcibly arrested, and the number
of his wagon taken.
Several, persons spoke tothe indifferent conduct of the orbs:eat
in continuing to drive on after he had been called upon to stop.
The Magistrate called upon the prisoner to answer the
complain t.
He stated that he stopped as soon as he could, but the mules
'that were in the waggon were very aged. One of them was blind
and could not see, and the other was so duany that he could not
hear a word, although he called " anon" several times. He there-
fore begged the Magistrate would deal mercifully with hint
The Magistrate told him it was /serried by many persons that
he never attempted to stop his Mules, therefore he should order
him to find bail to answer the charge.—The prisoner was then
locketlnp is default of the required sereties.
J. linchalt was charged with robbing Mr. Vine,surgennv of
Bast Peckham. Mr. Vine stated, that while passing on Mute-
day through Sir W. Twisden's grounds, near Mereworth, two
fellows, armed with bludgeons, seized hit horse's head, and
threatening to tastier nut his brains, roobed bim of his watch.
Mr. Marslaiid, pawnbroker, of the London-road, said, the pri-
soner offered to pledge the watch with him; and prevaricating
in his account of the mode of obtaining it, he had him taken
!nth custody. —Full y committed.

milted, foiemb.zzling various sums the property of his employer:

, pupil. H. Lewis stated, that in consequence of a quarrel, and a
blow received from a schoolfellow, In the absence otitis master,
he complained to him on his return, but be choosing to rely on
the defence rather than the accusation, seizing a heavy leather
strap, beat him till his head and body were coveted wan bruises.

discipline on the occasion, and was willing to settle the business
with the youth's friends, on their own terms, for which purpose
the; r.:tired.

him. Arhang, who had been supported to the Office, and
peered to have been most cruelly used, was then sworn accord-
ing to the custom of their country—a China saucer being given
to Arhmg, and one to the interpreter, they both advanced to-
ward the window, directed their eyes to Heaven, and repeated
in their own tongue the following :—" In the face of Goo I
break this saucer; if it conies together again, China-man has
told a lie, and expects not to live five days; if it remains asunder,
China-man has told the truth, and escapes the vengeance of th
ALMIGLITV."—They then smashed the saucers to pieces on the
floor, and return-d to their.places. The interpreter stated, that
Arhang was standing at a window in Ratcl.ff-highway, when
the prisoners dragged him into the road, and would have mur.
dered him, but for the interference of the Officers. The Ma:
gistrate ordered th:rii to find bail; *ten NIL-. West, who at-
tended for toe Keep -r of the Chinese Barracks, stated it was
impossible they could find hail ; and if the Magistrate wouid
let them go, he would keep them confined until Thursday, when

try, wai out in the grounds in quest of poachers, he

knocked him down, and' inflicted several tremendous
blows on his head, and every part of his body, leav-
ing him for dead ; in this situation he was found
