Miasionert of &we% wto. it itelnat:tlaini4 She penalty. Mr.
Hbi.tains titan-saill, &Air Manse of a K3.41.404Ch anZ
had bees made. on the previtas mentos. and lodged a rzul.s
information against the party.

80w.vram....-Yestaiday, Atones PaUlipe was charged by W.
D. Fellowes, Fig. of the Lord Cbasesberbdn's Ogee, with frau-
dulently obtaining sums of money from the Nobility and Gentry,
under the colour of a Coronation f*. When Taunton appre-
hended him at a house in Cowley-etreet, Westminster, a parch-
ment covered book, marked with gilt letters, „'l G.ll. Lord Great
Chamberlain's Office," and " Coronation Fees, George IV. I firth
Jut, ISM," was found. This book contained the names of
Dues, &c. written in their own hands, with sums of £2. its.and'
XI. Is. attached; and it appeared he had had the effrontery to
call, but at the wrong hour of the day, at the King's Palace three
or four times, and was about to receive £2O. He had succeeded
with Prince Esterhazy, the Dukes of Wellington, Norfolk, and
Northumberland, Earl Bathurst, and the major part of the No-
bility. Mr. Fellowes said, he had been on the Continent, and,
on his return, he found that the prisoner, who had been employed
as a doorkeeper at the time of the Coronation, and thus became
known to a number of the Nobility, had in the interim been car-
rying on this system of fraud.
Sir litenatu) Blame asked the prisoner 'what he had to'say in
his defence ?—He replied, with a low bow at the close of every
sentence, that the charge was a very mysterious one; he hardly
knew what to say about it. He had no idea that be was doing
anything. wrong. It had been the practice, time immemorial,
to collect these fees." Others had done it before him; and he,
having a large family, had done it likewise. Lord Ilarrowby,
*Lord Shaftesbury, and indeed every Peer upon whom be had
hitherto called, were quite pleased to see him, and very kindly
asked why be did not come sooner? There was no compulsion ;
if they did not choose to pay, they did not—and if they did, it
was all very well. Ile received it thankfully, they paid it cheer-
fully, so both parties were well satisfied: the measure was even
sanctioned by his Majesty's Ministers, and surely then there could
be no fraud in It. If his Worship would take the trouble to look
ever the book, he would find the names of most of the Cabinet
Ministers as having paid theft's. The thing, indeed, was quite
encouraged; everybody seemed happy to pay—quite pleased
with the idea. He bad gone about it with clean hands, and
found all the Peers very comfortable !
In answer to a question irons the Magistrate, be said it was
the Earl of Harrowhy who first suggested to him the idea of
getting the book to enter his receipts in; but he admitted that
the Noble Earl did not advise him to have said book inscribed
-with " G. R. Coronation Fees," &c. " That," he said, " was
done merely to add to the respectability of its appearance !"
Sir itwitAan Brame told him he had placed himself in a very
awkward predicament, and advised him to prepare seriously for
his defence. " I am sorry," added the worthy Magistrate, " that
it has fallen to my lot to be instrumental to your punishment,.
because I happen to-know some branches of your family, and I
believe they are very respectable people."
He was then committed for further examination on a future
day, when Lord Gwydyr, and some other of the Noblemen he,
is said to have defrauded, will be in attendance.
Axeiriara num Citanot!—Charles Edward Mortimer, Esq
appeared Wore the Magistrate, in custody of several guardians
of the night, charged with severely assaulting a sprach-box, in St.
Martin's-court, at the very unseasonable hour of four in the
morning. The only witness against him was• a watchman,
the occupier of the box in question. This watchman was,
quietly sitting in his box at the hour abovementioned, when sud-
denly he heard a voice exclaim," Duncan, sleep no more !" which
was followed by, " Now we'll have a lark with a Charley !" In
the next moment the front door of the box was taken from its
I hinges; and jumping out, he saw the defendant, Charles Edward
Mortimer, Esq. running away with the door on his back ; where-'
upon he sprang his rattle, and Mr. Mortimer was caught.
Mr. Min tuner, in his defence, positively denied having tooth( d
the door of the watch-box, and assured the Bench he considered
it an infamous attempt to extort money.
There was nothing, however, but his word against the oath
of the watchman, and he was ordered to find bail for his ap-
pearance at the geatter Sessions, to meet a prosecution which
would he instituted against him by the parish.
QUXEN-SQUA st.---"Testerday morning, It. MARTIN, Esq. M.P.
came to this Office, and had a long interview with the Magis-
trates. He had a printed copy of the Bill which he had lately
brought before Parliament, for inflicting punisliment ou people
for cruelties to animals. The Magistrates told him that the
'Cock-pit, in Tufton-street, Westminster, where poor animals,
of every description, were tortured by way of amusement, for
many years, is now likely to become a place of worship ; for that
a ileiirx/ist &clay had applied for it, in order to convert it into
a Chapel.. This information seemed to give the Honourable Gen-
tleman great delight.
UNION.IIALL.—.-DISTURDANCE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS. —Mr.
'DISH and Mr.Tarwa, two of the principal proprietors of Vaux-
hall Gardens, attended at this Office to prefer a complaint against
William and-John Creed, brothers and linen-drapers, of New-
street, Covent-garden, and Edward Lancaster, woollen-draper,
of Tavistock-street, fur having given very great and general of-
fence to the company on Monday night. The three defendants
were, upon presenting themselves to the Magistrate, H. J.
CHA 318 ER% Esq. dressed like shopkeepers. When at Vauxhall,
they had green neckerchiefs round their necks, and wore coats
and trowsers, which in cut and colour corresponded with those
ornaments.

Mr. Bish stated, that at eleven o'clock the defendants entered
the Garden-s, and spewed at that moment a disposition to insult
everybody. They hallooed through the walks, broke through
several companies, knocked off the hats of Gentlemen, and
adopted in every respect the conduct of the theatrical heroes
whose example had operated so much to the injury of the lower
orders. There were many persons of distinction in the Gardens
at the time, and the chief Proprietors thought proper, upon
learning that the defendants were perseverin: in this scandalous
course of amusement, first, to send Mr. Simpson, the superin-
tendent, to expostulate with them, and afterwards to }lace them
in the hands of•the police, Mr. Simpson's interference having
produced no other effect than that of exasperating them to a
more offensive line of conduct. The advice and threats of the
officers were laughed at-by the three Gentlemen, who continued
to perforin the parts they had selected to astonish the Public in,
until they were collared and dragged out of the Gardens to
the watch-house.

Hall, the officer, deposed, that by the direction of Mr. Simp-
son, he followed the defendants, and saw them insult several
gentlemen. There were other fellows in the Gardens who, wit-
ness believed, were of the same parsy, and constituted a very
formidable gang; but when the defendants were disposed of, all
disorder was quickly at an end. One man appeared in a High-
land dress, and having attracted notice by that singularity, and
by a very close imitation of the Tons and Jerry school, occa-
sionally drew a dagger, to the terror of the ladies, and brandished
it in a most theatrical manner. This gentleman became as quiet
as the test, upon finding that the l'roprietors were determined
to remove all blackguards. Witness added, that the defendants
told him they went to the Gardens to have a lark.
Mr. CHAMIFRII expressed great indignation at the conduct pur-
sued by the defendants, and highly approved of Mr. Bides de-
termination to bring such offenders to justice. There were, he
observed, two courses to be proposed—the one was a prosecu-
tion ; the other a fine, upon pain of prosecution, and a public
apology in the Newspapers. Flther of those would be satisfac-
tory, but one of them was indispensably necessary, as well for
the sake of the Proprietors as of the I'ublic.
Mr. Kish said he should proceed upon the suggestion of the
Magistrate, and the defendants declared. they were ready to
comply with the mild alternative proposed by Mr. Chambers.
They had, they said, drank too much wine.
1, The Proprietors merely demanded, that in order to prevent
a prosecution the sum of 6/. should be paid by the defendants,
and that the apology should be signed upon the spot. This being
done, the money was sent off to the Committee now sitting for
the relief of the famishing Irish. Mr. Bish declared that the
Proprietors were resolved to have the Gardens most vigilantly
watched, and to punish every person who disturbed the company.
0 UILDUALL,—The inhabitants of the North side of St. Paul's
Church-yard having determined, in concert with the Dean and
Chapter of St. Paul's, to remove, if possible, the nuisance occa-
sioned by the number of stage-coaches continually waiting about
that spot, one of the Richmond stages was seized and taken to
the Green-yard last week. No conviction, however, ensued,
the then Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Barnum, being of
opinion, that a more formal and efficient notice ought to have
been given of the intention of carrying the act into ezetution.—
Agreeably to the suggestion, Mr..Hou.ann, the Solicitor for the
Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, served a printed notice on all
the stage-coachmen who come to ply foe passengers. This notice
had a proper effect on some of them, but others have determined
to set it at defiance; and on Monday one of Cloud's Hammer-
smith coaches was seized and taken to the Green-yard. Jack-
son, the driver, applied yesterday at dab Office to•have his coach
scorned, on paying the.creams-yard expenses only, a demand of
£S additional having been ma4e, lie rafa;ed to *Km-
