Saar.-a-Yelferday two itforinations came on ton
be heard before the LORD MAYOR, at the Manfion-1
honfe, againit a repedable oilman, in Bifliopfgate-
ftreet, far not felling the proper quantity oUSalt
' for one pony, retjutred according to the Affize
made by the Court of Aldermen. One of the in-
formations being irregular was withdrairn. The
other was for felling one-penny worth of falt to a
woman trained Clark, which only weighed two
owlets, and the Statute dire& that Jour omen and
three quarters fhall be fold for that fain, or in de-
fault the feller Sall be liable to a pedalty of 51.
The woman (wore the bought this fait of a prrfon
in the Defendant's Mop, but *as unable to (wear'
to his identity. She was corroborated by another
woman, who went with her, and as it appeared
for the purl:tote of laying this information.
The Shopkeeper, in his detente, alledged his
own good charafter, and that be had given poll:.
tire orders to his fhopman to weigh the proper
quantity. He obferved to his Lortithip, that he
was appointed Chairman of a Committee of Shop.
keepers,in Order to wait upon the Cotirt of AkleN
men to fix the of te of fait; when a large duty
was impofed on that commodity, and that it was
not likely he fhould infringe the laws which he had
been inftrumental in framing. He furthei Rated;
that he had done every thing in his power to amen
liorate the condition of the poorer claffes of focie
ty, and that he would fcorn to commit what this
information charged him with, viz. a grofs fraud
on the public. .He entered into a ,>ery long vin-
dication of his charther, and concluded with ex-
pelling his fears that he might be ruined before
nest Saturday, if this penalty was to be inffidled,
fig-Wing his Lordlip was of opinion the offence
was proved.
The Loan MAYOR faid he en",:rtained the high-
eft opinion of this Gentleman's eliaraaer, and
fhould be happy to render him any fervice, with
rtipeCt to this information, that lay in his power.
The Itatute on which the information was ground.
ed had been framed by the Court of Aldermen
with a very 'audible view, for the purpofc of
guarding the inierefts of the poor, and which his
carding
presfeffed fhould be his licitly to maintain
while he prefided as a Magiftrate of the City of
London. Therefore, fitting in his judicial capa-
city, and having the iblemn oath of two perfons
that they purchafed the fait at his fhop, he could
do no lefs than convia him in the penalty of 51.
He was Corry he could not mitigate it, hut in this
cafe lie had no alternative. His Lordlliip ohferv-
ed that this information was !be third which had
come before bim for the fame offence, and he had
d'reacd a paragraph to be inferted in the papers,
in order to put his fellow citizens on their guard;
and he had hoped he fhould have no more Infor-
mations. When he requefled the paragraph to
be infected, he defired the name of the party eon-
viCted might not be mentioned, as he was a very
refpettable tradefman, and the error might have
arifen from the careleffnefs of his fcrvants. The
fhopkeeper then paw the penalty:

for trial for (killing a calk df brandy, value pi.
the property of Mars. Burnett and Co. The
carter to Meffrs. Burnett and Co. was loading his
cart at Dice's %lay, when he miffed the calk in
quenion, and from Come information he got pur-
fued thrprifoner, whom he came up with on St.
Dunftan's Hill ; he found hint in the poffeftion of
two of the City officers, who had flopped him on
fufpicion of ftealingthe calk.

row-corner, the bottom of the Minories. The pro-
fectitor Rated, that on Sunday night laft,Teturn.
ing home, with fome difficulty he opened the greet
door, and, on entering his fhop, perceived the pri-
toner and another perfon flooding there : he fe-
, cured the prifoner, but the other effeeted his
efcape : fearching M'Neal, a dark lanthorn was
found in his pocket, and a large quantity of goods
were packed up, ready to be carried away. He
was committed for re-examination. _ _ _

ASSAVLT.—A man mimed 7 iinoiby
.Tool, was '
brought before his Lordfliip, charged with affault- 1
ing a woman with whom lie cohabited, and had 1
two children. He had been examined on a timilar '
complaint a than time fince, and was liberated on '
giving bail not to moltli the woman in future, and '
to allow her a trifle out of his weekly canting.
He, however, went to her on Saturday, and af.
faulted her by pulling her by the hair of her head.
The woman dated, that fince the had charged
him before, he had married a woman with fcme
money, and all that the Wanted of him was, that
he thould not mold! her, and the was content if
he would allow her five !billings pet week for the
maintenance of the two children.
His birdthlp talked to him, and remarked
upon the brutality of his concluQ, and Paid, he
hoped that he would have paid Tome little atten.
tion to the admonition he gave him when he was
IA before him. He, however, had not attended
to it, and the confequence was, that his bail would
forfeit their recngnizince, and- he muft be com-
mitted to prifoa, unlcfs the matter could be fet-
tled.
One of the parith officers Paid, that if his Lord-
(hip difinilred the complaint, he mutt detain him
for the maintenance of one of the children, which
was* born in his ;with.
The LORD MAYOR very humanely fuggeffed to
the man to agree to pay What the woman re-
quelled. (Ho was very unwilling to do it.) As
it would be his titter ruin if he was fent to prifon,
he would fend him for the prefent to the Poultry
Compter; and advifed him to- confider on what
was proprikd.

Tmenesi Nore' Orvics.—Friday the two men
fo frequently Mentioned as being part of the brew
of the brig ACHILLIS, bound lei the Welt Indies,
of the tnames of Thompfon and Godfrey, were
examined, charged On fufpicion of robbing the Paid
ireffel id the rivet Thames, and afterwards atttnipt-
Ing,to murder the Captain and Mate, by mixing a
large quantity of opium in their common drink,
which affee.ted the mate fo much that it was with
great difficulty his life was preferred by the faculty:
the brig was at the Nore when this happened.
Mr. Atkinfon, the owner, with the Solicitor,
appeared for. the profecution, the Captain and
Mate having proceeded on the voyage. An accom-
plice, as receiver of the Men goods, was admitted
an evidence for the Crown. Thompfon was coin-
mitcd for re-examination; but •
Godfrey was further charged t the fuit of the

combe, Efq. a Commander of his Majefty's Navy,
and lately Commander of the hoop Albanaife,
formerly in the fcrvice of his Majefty, as being
guilty of mutiny, on the tut of November, i Beo.
After a laborious hearing, the prifoncr was given
in charge to an Admiralty metfenger, to be put on

feized hold of her, with an intention of bringing
her to juflice ; bitt unfortunately dining the

Coos+ or )(sops srs.--On Saturday Philip
Steers, one of the porters belonging to the Golden
Crofs, fnmmoned Mr. an eminent jeweller
near the New Church, for the font of 75. the 'ea•
lue of a turkey left at his houfe on Chriftmas eve.
The name on the diredion had, b Tome means,
become obliterated, but the addrefa jeweller and
filvetfmith, near the New Church, flood.

The porter Paid he carried the turkey to the de-
fendant's boufe, and deed the maidtervant whe-
ther her matter expelled filch a prefent from the
country? the replied, he frequently received pre-
rents, and the had no doubt it was for him ; ac-
cordingly the paid the porterage, and took in the
turkey, vehith was dreffed, and formed part of the
Chriltmas dinnenat which,no doubt, the unknown
donor's health was drank. In the mean time, the
perfon who was the lawful confignee of the turkey,
received advice of its being fent ; he therefore ap-
plied at the office, and, after Tome enquiries, dif-
covered it had been take!? to grace the table of his
neighbour. The porter mitantly paid the demand'
that was made upon him for the value of the tur-
key, conceiving be was bound to repair the confe-
quence of his millake; he therefore retorted to the
defendant, and defied to be reimburfed; but the
defendant refuted, obferving it was his own tnif-
take and he moil fuller for it.
Upon the above fads being dated, the defen-
dant was called upon for an anfwer.—He inffkd
be had no right to pay the money; that he would
not have bought a turkey, nor had one for dimier,
if the one in queftion had not come as a prefent ;
and that if he was obliged to pay it, it would ena-
ble poulterers to get off their hands any quantity
of their poultry, no matter whether good or bad,
for whatever price they pleated to a&, by having
them fent from the country, and conniving with
the porter at the inn to deliver them to wrong di-
redions, under pretence that the real one was
crated.•
One of the Commiffioners Waved, that there
VIM no pretence for imputing to the plaintiff any,
fuel trick as the defendant had fuppofed, by way
of defence. It was but fair and reafonable that the
perfon who had eat the turkey should pay for it,
and accordingly the defendant was awarded to
pay 71. with coils of fuit, to the no (mall amute-
ment of the Court, and the diffatisfadbion of the
defendant.
Richard 'tore, a journeyman hair-drefer, was
fummoned for 25. 6d. for the nfe of a cocked hat
to go to a ball in.
The plaintiff, who is a hatter in the Haymarket,
Paid, he very frequently charged .and ss. for the
loan of a cocked hat, and that he.made the prefent
demand fo low, on account of the defenitantts R.
maim.
Tlie defendant contended, that a feconi.hand
liat, as this was (not worth a guinea), was too ex-
, ttaVagantly paid for at ss. 6d. per night.
The toinmlffioners obikiired, that if barbers
*otild be fucli fools as to go to balls in cocked
bats,inftead of flaying at home, and minding their
bufifief, they mai le content to pay for their
