QUEEN-S(11;A RE.
nouns 4uircs, coach-master, owner of the hackney coach Na.
165, was summoned before F.. Esq. at the instance of
ilichard Martin, Esq. M.l'. fur Galway, tot cruelty to a horse.
Mr. Martin said, that on Thursday he saw the defendant's coach
in Cannon-row, Westminster, in which 'we of the horses was so bad
as scarcely to be able to stand; the fore knee on the near side was
swollen as large as a skittle ball, so that the poor animal could not
put that leg to the ground, and she was obliged to walk on three
legs. The coachman frankly told him the mare had been so for four
months, and during two minims she bad never lain down. Mr.
Martin considered the permitting a horse in such a state to be driven
at all was a wanton and cruel act.
George Ellis, a llow.street patrol, corroborated Mr. Martin's
statement, and tided, that the mare had a discharge from the knee,
and had been several times fired. She was in a very low condition,
and wholly unfit for the work.
The horse being brought up to the office door, Mr. Martin and
the Magistrate went to look at het, and she was, in fact, worse than
had been represented.
Mr. Maximum, on his return, said he must have proof on oath
of the horse's unfitness for use, in order to convict.
Mr. Martin.—'Alen, on my oath, she is unfit for use, and wan-
tonly cruel it is to drive her.
Mr. MAIM LAND said, es the defendant was now desirous of dis-
posing of the horse, he would mitigate the penalty to ss. besides
Mr. Martin's expenses.

Wednesday, about tour o'clock, the extensive ware-
house, formerly in the possession of Mr. Bennett, tobacconist, in
Wolstenhohne-square, Liverpool, and since occupied by Messrs.
High&ld and Birch, was discovered to be on fire. A sufficient
supply of water was obtained in the course of twenty minutes after
the fire was discovered, but it bad, unfortunately, gained too great
att ascendancy, and before seven o'clock, the whole fabric was
in ruins. Great apprehensions were entertained for an adjoining
warehouse, which was partly full of brimstone and oil; but was,
through the exertions of the firemen, prevented from taking fire.
