"the sitting Magistrate.-Mr. Alderman. MAGNA s-, upon the charge
of Mr. Coles, of the firm of Leaf, Son, and Coles, warehouse-

and Co. and in the habit bf attending cust6mers in the Warehouse.
From some circumstances that had tmuspired, a young man of
the name of King, ,who also served lit the warehouse, had sus-
.pected that the pr.soner did not account for all the . money be
took, and accordingly determined to watch him. An opportunity
offered yesterday Morning.- An old gentleman who is in the ha.
bit of occasionally dealing with them came-in to purchase some
Imuslins. The prisoner waited upon him, and Mr, King ma-
naged, without creating any alarm or suspicion on the part of
'Jenne'', to keep his eye upon him. The gentleman paid for his
good; and took them away with him. Mr. King was not able to.
'ascertain the exact amount received, but observed that there
wereil,lwathit;..ele.

They wer.- ordered to find bail, or be conunitted.
Saturday the mother of an illegitimate child, born'in St. Cless
ment Danes, applied for parochial relief- for her infant, as the
Palish Offioers took SOL from the father for its support. The
Officers admitted having received 30/. but still refused to ad-
vance any more money to the mother, as they were willing hi
take the child' (a female) into their establishment at Hendon.
The mother wished to have charge of it, as it was only two
years and a half old. The Magistrate declared, the conduct of
the Parish Officers illesat, in taking a round suns for an liked-
mate child. The Solicitor for the parish admitted this; but
Added, that unless they took a round suns, in a few'weeks they
could not find out the father, aai. nine times out of ten, they
eluded the vigilance of the Officers. It was finally sealed that
one shilling and sixpence a week was to be paid to the mother
. for the support of her infant,. •
JEALOUST.—Jc bra -Tomkink, a .journeyman. saddler, in the
imploy of Mr. Cuff.", of Charitig7ctoss, complained of an assault
from a man whims, he stated to be a bird-catcher, residing In St.
Martin's-lane. 'llie d resident stated, that having occasion, about
a tvxelvemon.h ag, , 'to go to Germany in the line of his profes-
sion, asdi deal, r in-einary birds; the complainant in his absence
formed an intimacy with his wife, and bad ever since been
prowling about hit house; that on Tuesday he saw hint peeping
deco his wirdow, and on going out to speak to him he rap away,
-when he pursued and overtook hint iu May's buildings, where
'he gave him tie blow which he tiow complained of.—The plain-
tiff denied' the justice of the intorstashot . Ile then said, that a
servant maid in the house had told bins the defendant carried n
knife to assassinate Isim.-=Mr. 3lntsstio.o remarked, that from
this it was evident he was holding interchurse with the persons
iu the house. The feelings of the defendant ought not to be trifled
with ; and as the plaintiff had provoked the treatment, he should
*dismiss the complaiut.—The -parties then retired, the plaint.ff in-
veighing against the injustice of his treatment.
11ATTON-GARDEN —ll, Woker was brought up as a vazrant.
He had received a ticket from the Mendicity Society to g• to
work on Friday, and on Saturday was again seen begging. The
account he gave of himself was not deemed satisfactory, and he
was sent to the tread-mill for a mouth.
UNION Ilai.t..—Saturday Joseph Spencer, a butcher, of pugi-
listic celebrity, was charged by a.ressectable tradesman, residing
at Newington, with grossly assaulting him while sitting -in the
parlour at the King's Head, near the Eferhant and Castle, on
Friday evening last.—lt appeared that the defendant, who is
well known among the milling tribe, was extremely anxious to
enter into a fistic contest with the noted Josh. Hudein; but hat a
ing, it se erased, a higher opinion of his own capabih i a than ma,- y
persons to whom he had applied to become his backers, he wit-
nessed with extreme regret the disappointment which was
likely to follow. He, however, on Friday, determined on
making another attempt to procure some friends to enable • him
to carry his favourite project into effect, and for that purpose
went into the parlour of the King% Head,. where a number of
respectable tradesmen were met, and vociferously called uj on
them, individually, to put down their five poutius 'a
-piece, to
enable him to enter the ring against his preaumed opponent.—
the complainant had the temerity to remons, rate svithAiesscer on
the decieve manner in Whit); he made the demandsand for tl at
insult he was severely punished by.theaspiring pugilist,who most
unceremoniously commenced battering his head altoutinith the
most tremendt,us effect ; and he was cell), restrained from proving
Ibis science and prowess to the remainder to the company by the
united efforts of several watchmen, who, with much difficulty,
carried hint cff to the watch-house. .
Spencer admitted that he milled cortsplainania bit, but then be
had called the whole body offightingonen, ° a parcel af uncom-
mon vagabonds, with whom he neither had, or wished to have
any connection ;" and these remarks being applauded by moat
of the company, he (Speecer)felt his feeling: hurt; and went to
sow* among them.
The Magistrate advised complainant to prosecute the butcher
for- the assault in another Court ; and being of opinion that his
intention was to.raise money by tinning into, a contest with Ilud-
son, ordered hour to find sureties to keep the peace towards all
.kin Majisty's liege subjects, but more particularly towards Josh.
Hudson ' • and, in default of his finding such sureties, he should be
committed to the !louse of Correction at Brixton for six months.
TOWN Heft..—Hasa sari; Nos.—A singular case of affray or.-
copied the. Magistrate a considerable time, and arose oddly
enough, according to the prosecutors' statement, out of—
" The quips, and cranks, and wreathed smiles,"
that usually make pp, tiles:offerings at the shrine of Old Father
Christmas.—A Mrs. Green, residing in the. neighbourhood of
Blackfriais:roadi had a party ettitost respectable friends at her
house on ThorsdaLlass, the lasly.-pstreof whiCh agreed to go in
company to order the Potter (or smoier. Mrs. Green had ar-
rived at the door Of 'Kir- Hicks, Use** of the Sell, in Black-
friars-road, Mist as a shoemaker. iii the same neighbourhood was
attempting to kiss one Sirs. Bradley, Who," chaste as the Icicle
on Illan's tensple," rejected- his proffered love, pushed hint back,
whets—dire mishap this nob, or the back of his head, came
plump in Mrs. Green's face, and gaselier a full blown black eye.
From this moment ['Attie° efas.changed to ilPenseroso, and no.
thing heard but—'We must have bloody noses and cracked
crowns, and pass them cumin too ;" for Mr. Green, the son of
the wounded lady, sallied *forth Go hearing that Ms mother was
hurt, accompanied by four of MILO lends, in search of the evil-
doer, and, unhappily for him, met with the proiecutor, whose
name was Munday, and•witheut more ado, though wattled he
was not the offender, pilcited into hint ail five, and ;pummelled
him without mercy,, tor which the prosecutor. sought reritess.—
About a round score of witnesses attended oh either side; but
each so Batty contradicted the ode. r, t hat the Magistrate informed
the parties the Sessions wai open to them if the those to persist,
and dismissed the eonhatants. trons•the Office.:
