This cause came on before the Commissioners on
Friday, and excited considerable laughter in the
Court. The defendant was a Lady of fortune re-
Oiling at the West End of the Town, and the plain-
tiff was her servant, and had summoned her mistress
for 4s. which she said was due to her as the balance
of wages. The plaintiff having stated her claim,
bee mistress entered on her defence. She acknnw.
incised that she deducted the sum in question from
the full amount of her servant's wages, but said she
had done it in consequence of the plaintiff having
misapplied the same .sum with which she had been
intrusted, under the following circumstances :
The defendant went on Monday last, with three
friends, to the Lyceum, to witness the representation
-of My Aunt, and on leaving home, as she expected
her friends would return with her, bhe desired the
plaintiff would provide a light supper against their •e-
-turn, and gave her some money for that purpose. The
plaintiff had frequently been employed on similar oc-
casions, and had always given her satisfaction ; but
Shaving a little disagreement on Monday morning,
she supposed she had acted as she had done on this
occasion from motives of revenge, for, on returning
from the Theatre with her friends, she was surprised
to find the eld jest of a light :upper carried into effect;
her friends and herself 'were astonished, on cote, ing
the supper-room, to see no less than twenty-lour
mould candles lighted up on the table and side-
board; upon the supper-table were three covers, oil
lifting up of which, she discovered in one dis!i a slice
of ham, another contained a slice of beef, and the
third dish contained four roasted potatoes ; at one
corner of the table stood a decanter of lemonade, and
at the other a bottle of toast and water. •

On remonstrating with the plaintiff, she defended
herself by saying, She had followed her orders and
provided a light supper, and in her account of money
expended she charged 4s. 41 for four pounds of
candles. The defendant,considering all the candles,
(swept two, as unnecessary, had refused to allow-
more than four-pence for candles, and deducted the
other four shillings from the plaintiff's wages.— '
The Commissioners, after hearing both parties, de-
clared themselves of opinion that the -plaintiff had
been vested with a discretionary power, which she
had exercised to the best of her judgment, and there-
fore, that the • defendant was bound to pay the four
shillings ; and that, upon that sum and costs being
paid, she would be entitled to the candle ends.

At the York Assizes, the proprietors of the Tra-
falgar coach were ordered by an arbitration to pay
£450 anti the costs of suit, to Mrs. Newlove; whose
leg had been fractured from the overturning of the
coach, and WAS afterwards amputated. The accident
had arisen froM the breaking of the axle, and the de-
fendants were adjudged not to have paid sufficient a•-
tention to its previous condition.
MAIL COACH Koneita.—At the Leicester Assizes,
Peter Machin, alias lif.Glym, was tried for robbing
the Mail Coach between Holyhead and London, of a
box of guineas, to the valise of £l4OO, which had
been forwarded from a merchant in Dublin, to his
,correspondent in London. The prisoner had been
employed as occasional guard ; the case was clearly
made out, and he was louudguilty......'rransportation
for seven yews.
Bow-arnzer.—Yesterday J. Jones, alias Eller:, was
re.examinvd, charged with endeavouring to obtain
Ss. 6.1. from Mr. Shaw Lefevre, by delivering a
parcel, which he pretended to have come by the
Dover coach, but which consisted merely of grass.—
Ir appeared that the prisoner 1E44 lately practised a
similar deception on Lord Gwyder. He is likewise
suspected of having committed frauds of a more se.
rious nature ; but the proper witnesses not being pre.
sent, he was remanded.
