HATTON GAKDEN.--•Yesterday itikkt !Parton, ap-
prentice to George Smith, a tailor, was charged by
his master witb several acts of disobedience and inso-
lence. After the complainant made several charges
of disobedience against the apprentice, the apprentice
was asked what he had to say to the charge made
against him ? He stated that alt the complaint his
master had made against him, was for interfering to
save his mistress froth his fury, as he was certain tie
would have long since murdered her, were it not that
he interfered and saved her; and that be (the ap.,
prentice) always attended regularly to his work,
along with his mistress, whilst the complainant was
getting drunk, and all his family at home starving ;
that atter spending their earnings, he came boom
drunk on Saturday nights without money, and they
had not a bit to put in their mouths on Sunday, nor
the rest of the week, but shift as well as they could.
Here the complainant began to storm and show his
temper, but he was called to order. The comphin-
ant's wife was then celled and examined, when s::e
fully established the charge .made by the apprentice,
and related st.ch a tale of distress, And the cruel. y of
her husband to her and her children, as sensibly sf 7

recta those present. She stated, that she bad had
the apprentice since be was a child, and looked on
him as if he were her own—that he was always very
attentive to his work, as there was nothing done but
what he and she did, as the complainant was gene-
rally idle and drunk, spending what they earned, and
leaving her and her family to starve—that he then
owed stB for a public house score, and had it not been
for the interference of the apprentice, the complain-
ant would have long since taken her life ' • in confit-
mation of this, she produced an infant she had in her
arms, whose head was beaten flat by a kick from
the brutal husband. Here the tables were completely
turned--the apprentice was discharged, and the
master committed.
Mansion Hovsx.—Yesterday Jobs Binitead, a most
respectable young man, was brought up, and under-
went a final examination, charged with uttering a
ten pound note, purporting to be of the Bank of
Ridge and Co. Chichester, well knowing the same to
be forged. It appeared, that about a month since,
the prisoner, in company with a person named Rea-
der, went to the shop of Mr. Romains, the hosier, cf
Cheapside, and tendered the note in question, in pay-
ment for a few articles of.hosiery. Mr. Romains at
first declined changing a country banker's note with-
out a knowledge of the parties, but it appearing that
one of his shopmen was acquainted with Reader, the
prisoner, after affixing a false signature to the note,
received the change. On the following morning, Mr.
Romaine presented the note at the house of a respee-•
table banker in the City, where it was made payable,
and discovered it to be a forgery. Search was in-
stantly made for the prisoner and it was ascertained,
through the medium of Reader, that he had left town-
for his residence in Sussex. A warrant was accor-
dingly obtained, and Fogg, one of the City Marshal-
men, sent to execute it. Upon his arrival at Chi-
chester, the residence of the prisoner, he learned that
he had gone to Arundel, whither he I ,liowed him,
and took him into custody. From hence he was con-
veyed to his house at Chichester, where close search
was made, but nothing discovered to elucidate the
traustction. The planner, however, in presence of
Mr. Ridge, the officer, floc. subsequently made a full
and voluntary confession of his guilt. He stated,
that in concert with a young man named Jardin,
(since absconded) he had forged ten, five, and one-
pound' notes, the whole, however, not exceeding one
hundred pounds. The prosecutors also, it appeared,
had already received the entire of these notes, which
had been circulated, and at length returned to their
bank. The prisoner, who was an artist, had been
hitherto much esteemed by the prosecutors, and the
most reipectable part of the county in which he resi•
des!. He was fully committed for trial.—nomar
