None so deajas then, that won't hear !"-At York
Assizes, on Monday, as soon as the LORD CHIEF Jos-
TICE had taken his seat, the names of the Jurymeti
were called over, and several certificates of ili.health,
&c. were produced, to account for the absence of
some. One was produced by a Juryman himself,
stating his extreme deafness as a cause for being-ex.;
cused serving, when the following scene took place
between the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and the Juryman :
The Loan Cuter Junica—(ln a loud voice)—Hoer old
you, my good man ?—No answer.
The Loan CHM Jussicm—(ln a louder tone).--How old are
you 7—No answer.
The Loan Cum Jorrscs—(Still louder)— Fie* old are you
No answer.

The LORD Cori,. Jcsrscs—(in a very low tnne)..-Well, yon
are excused serving, can you hear that?—Answer, riot and ho
immediately left the Court. amidst a roar of Laughter.
Yesterday afternoon, the horse patrol, to the numk
ber of seventy, and six officers, with a party of conk
ductors on foot, were drawn up at the back of White-
hall Chapel, Privy Gardens, for inspection before Sir
RICHARD BIRNIE, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street,
and Mr. HOBHOUSE, Under Secretary of State for the
Home Department. The horsemen were drawn op
in two small squadrons, and after marching in or+
derly time singly round the spacious place, bearing
their staves in the right hand in a graceful manna
on the side of the saddle, resumed their first stations
and were dismissed with expressions of the utmost
satisfaction at their appearance and conduct.

Bow-syrtsax.—Yesterday twelve persons, keeping shops and
stalls in Covent-garden Market, were convicted of exercising •
their callings on Sunday.
Arnokb Hunter was charged before the Sitting Magistrate,
T. Hatt% F-sq. on suspicion of robbing the Porto Bello public-
house, in St. Martin's-lane, on the 10th July last, of upward! of
.C342.—Committed for further examination.
Thomas Shearson* was charged with riotously and tumultus
ously assembling, with about-thirty other persons, round the
house No. 49, Pean-street Soho, about eight o'clock yesterday
morning, and forcibly entering the room on the first floor, occu-
pied by Mrs. Acne Hadley, forcing open her window, and •
man entering from a ladder, the shutters were broken to pieces,
the prisoner bring at the bottom of the ladder urging another man
to get in, but WAS prevented by the exertions of Sir. Thomas
Baylaon, the landlord. The neighbourhood was alarmed with
the cries of murder. The cause of this violence and outrage
was a dispute of right of possession. Mr. HALLS called upon
the prisoner to find bail in £5O to keep the peace.
Manv.r.a-Bouxs Ornex.—Hanssais White, the young woman
who had sworn her child to Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, yesterday
repeated her- assertions, but her c 'nation by. Mrs
Parkins and his Solicitor, and the evidence some respectable
witnesses, went materially to discredit her allegations. The Paro-
chial Officer put in his bill of charges for the expenses incurred.
and said that the highest claim for weekly allowance was Is.
but the Parish would take the sum of 4s. per week. Mr. Parkins
then entered into the usual recegnizances to appeal at the Stn.
sions. He should dispute there all the cases, even the expenses.
The Magistrate made the order en him for 4s. per week.
islaarnoseuou-srarwr.—Mrs. Flight, whose case was the
other day entered into at Bow-street, attended at this Office
with her husband, who was summoned by the Overseers of St.
Pancras to stew cause why he refused to support her. Mn.'
Flight entered the Office with great confidence, while her bus.
band did so apparently under the most excessive pier, accom-
panied by two female relatives. On the case being stated against
Mr. Flight, the Magistrate told kim that be was bound to snow
his wife something to support herself. Mr. Flight was about
to enter into the merits of the case, but his utterance was stifled,
he was so very much affected ; his peace of mind, he said. was
stolen from him; be had been deprived of every comfort; be
had a large family, and being without the services of a wife, so
essential to a man in kis situation in life, be was rendered mi-
serable. A Gentleman suggested that it. per week should be
allowed to Mrs. Flight, which tke Magistrate considered too
much, and thought its. would be sufficient. Mr. Flight agreed
to pay her lOs. 61. per week; which he said was more than he
Intended to have allowed her.
