named Maraliell, an artist; made a complaint against two of the
money-takers at the toll gates on 'Waterlos lkelge, of tan
names of Cra alid Steel. • .
Mr. Marshall stated, that his object was to obtain a summons .
against the toll-collectors, to chew cause why they refused to
take farthings in payment of the toll. Monday afternoon, having
been into Surrey, he deierrnined to return tar the Si 'lnd along
Waterloo Bridge. When he arrived at the gate, he recollected
that ell the small change he bad about his person was six farthings.
Ile tendered four of them to the pate-keepers in payment for the •
penny for crossing the Bridge, when they abused him, and re-
fused to take them, stating at the time that they were not a legal
tender, and they were not obliged fo be troubled with farthings.
He assured them that he bad no wish to give them unnecessary
trouble, and stated to them that the cause of his having so many
farthings was, that he had say. &thew for his childrett•to play
with, and that he had no ether money, or he should not have
. offered them. •
The gate-keepers still refused to let him pass along the Bridge,
and he was compelled to gie to the Waterloo Bridge Tavern, and
burrow a penny to enable him to get into Middlesex.
~
The Magistrate (Mr. Cifitatesits) said, that the applidtion
was of a novel description, and he remit refer to the Statute ))e-
-fore he granted a summons, as it was a matter of doubt with
him whether four farthings was a legal tender fur a peony. ,Upon
the Magistrate referring terthe Waterloo Bridge and the Mint
Acts, he ordered a summons to be issued against the parties.
Mr. Marshall said, that if the Magistrate should dismiss'the
case upon hearing, he should feel it his duty to apply to the At-
torney-General on the subject.
