POLICE EXPORTS.

Onu.naas.L.A thick-set, reepectable-looking man, dueled in black.
who gave his name Samuel Ford, bat admitted It was not his real
name, was charged with stealing six silk handkerchief. from the shop of
Mr. Bradley, linen draper, Newsate-strest.
Francis Edwards, the shepoutn, stated that the primmer, between
eight and nine o'clock on Pal evening, having selected the handker.
chiefs, said " These will do very well;" and walked deliberately to the
door, without having paid the price named, 12s. Ile followed and se-
cured him, and brought him before the Magistrate, although Mr. Bead.
ley had no desire to prosecute, conceiving that the prisoner did not get
his living this way.
Sir P. Latin= asked the primer who he was. Prisoner said he
had been clerk to a merchant in the country.
Sir Pirrita inquired when he quitted his service ?—Eight or ten
weeks ago, replied the
Sir Passes—Namereale:Chant.
Prisoner—l cannot enter into more particulars. (Here the tears
gushed from his eyes, and, leaning his head on the bar, he hid his face
with his handkerchief.)
But you must tell, said the Alderman.
Prisoner—Then_you must pitt me on the rack.
Sir PIETEZ—What object had you in going into this shop ?
Prisoner—l cannot answer that question.
Then you must answer for your conduct elsewhere,. said the Alegi..
tray. You must not expect to plunder, and escape without giving an
account of yourself.
In reply to some further questions, he stated that he had been living
on a few pounds he had saved, and by selling his property. He MIS
unmarried, but had relations in the country, where, he would not say,
for they were suffering from the pressure of the times, and could not ef-
fectually assist him. They would be distracted if they knew his situa-
don, but they would not learn it.
Sir Pzurn—Would it not be better to let thein know your si.
tuition ?
Prisoner—No, they must never know it, replied the prisoner, in a
tone of anguish.
Sir PETEa—Wu It your object to be sent out of the country?
Prisoner—Yes. .

Sir Perna—lt is lamentable that offences are committed almost
daily with the same view. There never was more real distress than
now; but, prisoner, you very well know how to get relief another way.
I have no doubt you have been • respectable man, but sitting where I
do, I cannot make distinctions on that account. I wish to treat you
with all the kindness in my power, and I will remand you for tinge
days, that you may reflect and write to your friends. You may consult
with the O' overnor of the Compter in confidence, and disclose to him
the addresses of your friends.
The rigout, who seemed deeply affected, was then removed from the
bar. He bad not a provincial accent.
Uxiox.llazt...—A man named Thompson was charged with com-
mitting a brutal assault on his wife. The parties had been only mar-
ried two months, and during that period the defendant had beaten his
wife on several occasions. On Friday night he jumped out of bed, and
then dragged her out by the hair of her bead, and struck her between
the eyes. She resisted his !natal violence, and he seised ber with his
teeth on the fleshy part of her right arm, and bit a piece out. The
poor woman declared that she was in constant danger of be: life, and
although so recently married, she was anxious to leave him altogether.
The defendant said that his wife was a " d—.l incarnate in temper,
and that it was Impossible for even an angel to live with her. He
was most willing to comply with her wish as to a separation for ever,
and be would engage never to molest her or seek a reconciliation.
The Magistrates said that his conduct towards the woman whom be
had taken " for better or for worse" was scandalous in the extreme, and
that he should not escape the punishment it so rich! deserved. Hs
should therefore find bail to answer the charge at the
Towx.sans..—Joks Hopkins, driver of a Camberwell stage coach,
was summoned for driving his horses on the pavement in Joiner's.street.
He was fined 10s. and costs.

POLICZ. Gough and JIMICS Eases were charged
with breaking into the Gate House, at St. 's Gate, Cannon-street
Read, and stealing from the person of Charles toll-collector, a
silver watch and silk handkerchief, and several other articles. They
were committed for trial.

.111aataononow-awassw...—Two MOD WITS I= in by a police-
man for standing in Pall-mall with a board and a of publications,
encircled with a tricoloured border.

Dir. Dyes inquired if they were creating a crowd lo and being an.
swered in the negative, the worthy magistrate said, " Then why do you
bring them hers any more than other individuals? let them be dia.
missed." This was accordingly dope, and the man marched of with
all their stock.

Mmtx-xx-aoxxii.—Mr. Charles Haley, a watchmaker, residing in
Wignsore.street. charged one of his workmen with Wegally pawning a
gold watch for 91. which was lately purchased from Lady Sheffield for
25 guineas, it being an antique one. The defendant had been entrusted
with it to show to Sir Gregory Wall, and did not return it.
Mr. RAWLINIION said it was a melancholy thing to see so elderly' and
respectable looking an individual brought before him, under such cir-
cumstances. The woethy Magistrate then fined him 40s. and 101. for
the property pawned, or to be Imprisoned wee months. He was locked
up in t.
A gentleman, who stated that he was one of the guardians of the
poor in the parish of Marylebone, accompanied by an overseer, waited
upon Mr. Hewitson to demand an explanation of some words said to
have been spoken by that Magistrate in allusion to the conduct of the
parish oaken to a poor woman, who recently died in the parish through
want of the necessaries of life.

The particulars of this deplorable ease have appeared in the report
of the Coroner's inquest, which was held on the body on Saturday
week. The words said to be used by Mr. Rawlinson were, that, if he
was Coroner on the occasion, be would commit two or three of the
pariah officers to Newgate.
The gentleman stated that the subject underwent a strict invest*a.
don before the Hoard, when the parish officers were examined, and it
was satisfactorily proved that no blame could be attached to them.
Mr. RawLiwsow directed the gentleman to look at what took place
on the inquest, as well as the verdict of a Jury. On an investigation
before a Coroner, other witnesses are exaaolned as well as the parish
ofricers. He would aster into no esplanades respecting what lass.
he thought fit to use; be mat there as a Magistrate to administer
to the bat of his judgment, and did not hold himself respon-
sible to the parish-board of Mary.la.hense, or any other parish.
When an unfortunate creature perishes through want of the common
necessaries of life, and the Coroner's Jury lad a verdict to that effect,
if he ( Mr. Rawlinson) sat as Coroner, be would feel it his duty to
direct the Jury to consider how far the parish officers (if conscious
of the state of want in which the deceased was,) were accesaaries to
so deplorable an event as the death of a fellow-creature from sus radon.
The Overbear observed that she could not starve, having 6s. per
week allowed her.

Mr. RAWLINION.—Look to the verdict of the Jury.
The Magistrate firmly refusing to enter luto any explanation with
the Board, the pestles retired.

THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOR EXECUTION, AT
EXECUTION DOCK.

The two convicts, George James Davis ahem Huntley, and William
Watts aline Charles Williams, who at. ordered to be executed on
Thursday next, at Execution Dock, near Wapping, were cast at the
late Admiralty Sessions. The details of their crime must be fresh
in the recollection of our modem. From the time of their conviction to
the moment the fatal order arrived, they entertained a confident hope
that their lives tumid be spared, but they have now become resigned to
their fate, and ere prepared to die. The two unfortunate men will be
removed from Newsom on Thursday morning next, at nine o'clock, in
a cart, to Faecution Dock, Wapping. The sheriffs will precede them
in their carriages, and the prisoners will be escorted to the place of exe-
cution by the whole of the city Akers and manhalmen, the headbo.
toughs of the Mikan parishes through which they will peas, and a
strong body of police. After leaving Newgete, the cavalcade will pro.
coed, at a slow rate, through Cheaper de, Cornhill, Leadenhall.aireci,
Aldgate, Whitechapel Iligh.street, Commercial-road, Cannon.street.
road, across Ratelift.hlghway, and down Old Gravel.lane, to the fatal
spot. The gallows will be erected in the usual place, on the causeway,
about twen
hithe ty
Cyards
hurchfront the shore, on the Middlesex side, opposite
Rother.

BARI/AWN EXPZINIAIENT ON • LIVING Doe.—
When we called at the house of Mr. & we found his about to game
upon a young terrier dog. He told us he would peeve that the bleeding
of the larpst artery Gould be stopped by twisting it, instead of Nuking a
ligature in the usual manner. He instantly mauled the hula victim, and
then cut down towards the large artery of the thigh; which having
divided, he stepped the bleeding of this blood-vessel by twisting it.
The experiment laving answered, I proposed to has the cut healed,
and the dog taken can et Mr. & said he had mu* more to show.
Afterwards this manta (for I cannot call bin a man) cut off the thigh
at the hip joist, and twisted the blood-vessels ; be then cut of the

both thighs and both shoulders, and Iliadic dog had lived some hours;

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BANKSIDE, LAST NIGHT.
Last evening, between seven and eigh o'clock, an alarming fire broke
out in the extensive premises of Messrs. Ruth and Bertram (formerly in
the possession of Mr. )I'Adam,) the oil and colour works, Willow.
wharf, Bankaide, which, owing to the inflammable nature of the store,,
raged with such overwhelming fury, that the wharfs and warehouser.
right and left, were considered in imminent danger. From the extreme] ;
narrow situation of the place, much difficulty presented itself in get.
ring the engines to bear upon the flames ; however, bythe good tut of the
firemen, this obstacle was removed. It being unfortunately low water,
the Sun floating engine could not be brought close enough to play upon
the lama; so that the firemen of necessity abandoned the premise, to
their fate, and directed their attention more particularly to the mini.,"
of Messrs. Petty and Hinton, the coal-merchants, on the east, and o
large timber-yard on the tight, to prevent the extension of the ma,.
gration. By ten o'clock the whole of Messrs. Ruth and Baritones
premises were reduced to a heap of ruins, together with the whole or
the stores.

"IL Lir.

TituE MEANING OF " SWING. —As tho signature
"6 Serino" to the many threatening letters, received by peraona sp.
pairs to be of an ambiguous nature, may I be allowed to offer you my
idea of its signification. In the hay season the mowers generally cut
the grass in parties of from three or four to seven or eight men, who
have a head-man or leader. Occasionally they stop to sharpen the
scythe ; when done, and the men ready to go on, the leader cane out
" swing," and the whole party proceeds with cutting down the grass._
The definition of the word Swing may, therefore, be considered as " one
and all," or one and all have agreed to cut you down .r
MRS. MActzon.—Nothing material his transpired re-
specting this lady, whose extraordinary case has attracted so much the
attention of the public. Mr. Jones, of Crosby-square, pointedly denies
that he had any knowledge of the case whatever. This lady is great
grand.daughter to the celebrated Colonel Gardiner, who was killed at
die battle of Preston Pans. The estate of Mrs. Macleod is situated in
the Isle of Skey, and is one of the most romantic in scenery and situa.
Lion in Scotland.

" Caow z a's Qu es r LA w."—At an inquest lately held
at Tisbury, near Foothill, on die jury returning a verdict of justifiabh.
homicide, as the subject of it had been killed while attacking a soldier,
the coroner decided that the deceased must be treated as one guilty of
felo de se. That because he aimed at the life of another he meant to
get killed himself ! " How infinite in reason !"
VALUE ov COV ENT-GA REID/ li Private Act of
Parliament, passed in the time of Henry VIII.—" On the fyrst day of
June, in the XXVIIL of the reign of our Sovereign Lords Kyng
Henry the VIII. (l 5 yeare36.) The Abbot and Convent of the Monastery of
Bt. Peter of Westminster, gave to the Kyng all theyre garden lyeng and

Abbott to and at the dere yerly value of fyve pounds VIA. VI Ild
lyng." What would the Duke of Bedford now say to 5L 6s. EkL for his
share of it ?

BANKRUPT'S LIST EXTRAORDIWART.—It is fortu-
nate the Gazette of Tuesday did not fall into the hands of any punster.
Had such been the cam, we should have been told, that among the
Bankrupts might be found a Lay, and a Page, a Bost, a Moor,a Lid
a Foy, and a Friend. A Hen, tolerably tame, it may be presumed,
as one near it is Wilder. A Swell:pale and Wills under Price.
One whose wife (if he were married) must have been given to Gan* ;
and another, who might truly say, in the words of Tata wcz, "Dares
saes non Miliyus."
POLITR SLAUGHTERING OP AN ENEMY.—At Pines,
an Indian warrior, when about to kill and scalp a prostrate enemy, ad-
dresses him in such terms as the following:—" My same is Cachegra
lam a famous warrior, and stn going to kill you. When you read[
the land of spirits, you will see the ghost of my father: tell him it
was Cullers sent you there." The uplifted tomahawk then descends
upon his viedm.
Some years since, the late Lord Pembroke' wife, and, we
believe, an aunt of the present Duke °Hit. wee present at an
anise ball at Exeter. The High Sherif officiated them as Malta of
the Ceremonies; and on her ladyship's entree, begged she would,
if agreeable to her, make choice of a partner. She accordingly
polmsd to an interesting-looking young man, standing fa • retired corner
of the room. The Sheriff returned from his inquiry with the intelligence
that he was a Baronet " birJohn Anderson.' On the Sheriff's mention.
*to him his desire of introducing him to the lady, he with great mu.
dewy drew back, but immediately after, on recollecting himself. was
and danced wth her. To the Sheriff's dismay he was almost
Aadsreentely told that the gentleman was not Sir John, but Steven
.

CITY IMPROTIMUITS.—Noticee' signed by the City
Romembmcer, were on Thursday affixed in the Middle.
sex Sessions House, announcing the intention of the City

Also, for an Act empowering them to borrow a sum of
money for repairing Blackfriars-bridge ; or to authories

Tin New Brsnor or ExtrEa.—On Thursday the
Right Rev. Dr. Philpots, presented in the usual form at the
rina, room adjoining the Hall of Doctors Commons,
the necessary documents, showing that he had been duly
elected by the Dean and Chapter of the See of Exeter to
the Bishopric of that diocese, vacant by the translation of
Dr. Bethel to the See of Bangor. The miuutee of
election were registered in the archives of the
Archdiocese of Canterbury, by Dr. Arnold. Vicar-general•
The new Bishop, accompanied by the Vicar-General uw
other officers of the Court,proceeded, after these foram. had

Court, Dr. Philpotta subscribed the oaths prescribed by the
Canons.
