A IsOIISTEI WITHOUT BOWELIIO...A man, named Simmons,
applied to the Loin MAYOR on Saturday for advice In what roan,
net to act under the following circumstances e—Being in want of a
lobster far his wifellusir, the applicant went to a fishmonger at
Billingsgate, and a very fine-looking fish, agreed to give
the sum et one shilling or it. The salesman had many other
lobsters an his board, but he particularly recommended the afore.
I said. When the applicant turned round the fish for the purpose
of examining what- be called the " bowel part," the salesman de.
sired hien to tandle it in a particular way, for fear the beauty or the
shape should suffer detriment. Bs accordingly handled the lob.
stet, not by bolding it up by the tail, as is the usual way, but by
merely pat it on is back. All seemed right, the body of the
lobster had a and Mr. Simmons went away pet.
fatly modelled with Ingrain, and preenteed it to his wife. Mrs.
INouneete, however perceived a Walsh, which- had escaped the
oyes snit beebend—there was not a morsel of " bowel in the
engem* disk se that supposing that her husband had been treat.
log some unworthy woman to the contents, and that he thought pro.
per to bunk ber, she dung his purchase at his bead, sad Wowed
him up mast terribly." He did all he could to pacify her, an(l
took her to the lish.salesman, who made things wore, beam he
said he "snowed nothing about the lobster." This canoed much
mirth.

---
The Loan MAYOR said the fish-salesman had no more bowels
than the lobster, to deny the knowledge of the fish, when one
word from him would have restored perfect harmony. His lordship
regretted that he could not punish so cruel and unjust a salesman;
but he really thought the claws, which appeared to be full, wet,
worth the shilling. " I know," said his lordship, "if I were to
send for a lobster, they would charge me eight or nine shillings for
such a one as that was." _

Mr. Simmons said he could excuse the deception, if it had not
brought an old house about his ears. He hoped the Lord Mayor
would cause the salesman to be brought before him to account, not
for the deficiency, but for the deception.
The belly of the lobster was here 'exhibited—the skin had but
neatly tucked under parts oldie shell, so that the hole through which
the most delicious portion of the fiah bad been scooped was out
visible until-the tail was unfolded.
The Louis MaToi felt the lobster, and thought it so light, that
he doubted thefurniture of the claws very much. He smelt it,
but all was right in that respect—nothing could be more sweet. Hi,
Lordship then held it up to the light, and, to the surprise of all, said,
I " Bless me, why I could read a newspaper through any part of it !"
Mr. Simmons exhibited the greatest passible indignation, and
begged that a summons at least might be served upon the sales.
man. He, however, admitted that he had selected the lobster Ix .
cause it was ticketed " one shilling ;" and he produced the ticket,
on which was discovered, under the words "A fine lobster," in very
email letters the word " Shell."

The Logo litYoa advised Mr. Simmons to buy a lobster for
his wife as soon as possible, and " Tate care," said his Lordship.
" that it shall have plenty of bowels." (Laughter.)
With this advice the applicant was dismissed.

saulted a Hide boy named Fletcher, nine years of age. A police
constable stated, that about nine o'clock on Friday night, he ob.
served the defendant take bold of the boy by the chin, raise him up,
and then dash him on the ground. The boy fell on his head, and
remained insensible for some dme.—Mr. Keith, a surgeon, stated
that the injury was of that nature that the burs recovery was ex.
tremely doubtful.
The prisoner, in his defence, said the boy ran against him, and
applied insulting language to him.
Mr. DYill ordered him to be committed to prison till he found

On Saturday Mr. Sergeant ADAM., as Counsel to the Imperial
Ow Company, preferred a complaint against Tires°eh, Prior, a
baker, in Tottenham-court-road, for having two extra lights from
the Company's gas, which subjected him to a penalty of 50L for
each light. It was proved that the defendant rented two lightt
from the Company for the upper part of his house, and had caused
two lights to be taken from the same pipe foe the baking cellar.
He was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 101. and costa—Mr.
Sergeant ADAMS then preferred a charge against Robert Dolastno,

Saturday, a young man, respectably dressed, who gave his name
Middleton, was brought before the magistrate, on the following
cha r—The landlord of the York Hotel, in the Waterloo.road.
stated, that on Friday night the defendant called at his house, and
ate two pounds of iamb chops, together with a half quartern loaf,
and washed the whole down with a half gallon of ale and a couple
of tumblers of hot rum and water. He slept in the house the;
night, and in the morning declared he had no money to pay the
reckoning.
The defendant said, he was an artist by profession. From several
letters which were found in his possession, it appeared that he was
a young man of very expensive habits, and had very speedily got rid
of several remittances which he had received from his father.
The Magistrate said, that the defendant had committed no offence
which would subject him to punishment by a Magistrate. The
only remedy the complainant had, was to sue the defendant for the
demand.
