M AIRLBOIIOUG H.STRRET.
Mr. Henry Hunt came to this Office on Saturday, and addressing
Messrs. Deem and COXaNT, the presiding Magistrates, said, that he
had to complain of a very great grievance in the publication of tlte
exparte statements of a foreign Lady, who called herself Madarnede
Gill, as frequently made by her at this office. He held in his ha at
a Morning Paper, in which a minute account was given of the com-
plaints made by this Lady against him, which, in point of fact aat
reality, had no foundation whatever. In the first place, it was not
true that be had got possession of the premises which he occupied
in Pall Mall, by any stratagem. He took them under a regent
contract for a lease from the proprietor, Colonel Ashworth, to
whom, by the bye, said Mr. Hunt, this Lady was no more related
than she was to him. Colonel Ashworth had, however, since tairea
it into his head that he had made a bad bargain, and refused to
fil his engagement, and is endeavouring to evade doing so by some
legal process; but he (Mr. Hunt) had filed a hall in Chaticery it
compel the Colonel to complete his agreement, althot6h, in point cf
fact, the bargain was a very dear one, for he (Mr.llunt) paid a rent
more than the premises were worth; and what was mere, paid
that rent always in advance. As to the irregularity said to he car.
ried on in his shop, and the great nuisance it was described to t'
in the neighbourhood, Mr. Hunt said there was nut a syllable of
truth in the assertion. The shop was closed regularly every ailin
at ten o'clock, and it was only on one occasion that any noise
ever was made on the premises, and that occurred a few nights ago,
when one of the persons in his employment was married, and they
had a sort of merry-making and wedding in the house, which, per.
haps, might have been kept up to rather a late hour ; but this was
the whole of the riot complained of. V.lth respect to the neighbours
complaining of a nuisance, ur hie shop being, as it was term( d in the
paper before hins," a Radical Coffee-shop, it was cute the revere;
and in fact ought to be called the Royal Roasted Corn Warehouse,
and should have the Royal arms aver it, for there was tenacity a
morning that the servants from Carlton-house did not come over and
purchase large quantities of his roasted grain; and it was well knotra
that even his Majesty had used it, and expressed his approbation si
its flavour, and the wholesomeness and nutrition of its qualities;
and not only this, but most of his Mejetty's Ministers sent to per.
chase it:efts. weight at a time, and used it in thei: establishment..
' Mr. CONANT said that he was glad to hear that Mr. Hunt's spe-
culation bad succeeded so well, and he had no doubt but the graa
sold by Mr. Hunt made a very wholesome beverage.
Mr. Hunt assured the Magistrate that it did, and entered into a
long description and chemical analysis of its component parts, :rd
ended with expressing his surprise that any Magistrate should c:w-
cider his shop a nuisance, as Sir George Farrant was stated in the
Papers to have said.
Mr. Dexa assured Mr. Hunt that .Sir George Parrant said as
such thing, nor indeed was he represented to have said so. All Sir
George said was, that if the neighbours considered the house as the
Lady stated, to be a nuisance, they might indict It as such.
Mr. Hunt said there was nothing wrong in that advice, and then
left the office.
