GUILDHALL.

Saturday, Edwawi Douse, porter with Messrs. Nevill, hosiers, of
Maidrn•lane, Wood-street, was charged with robbing his employers.
with whom he had lived three or four years. The prisoner was
fully committed.
Harry Harmer, the host of the Plough, in Smithfield, applied for
a summons against a fellow, who, though by no means a twitch
for him, had been trying to provoke him to fight, and aim-
ing at him within striking distance, but carefully avoided giving
the first blow. This was not the first time be bad dune it.

.-- —.—
Sir JAZICS SHAW... All you know howsuperior to him you are,
continue to treat his efforts to provoke you to an unbecoming contest,
with contempt. If he has not struck you, I can afford you no assigt-
anee,for I think I understand that you are not in bodily fear of him.
As, of course, nothing about " fear" could pass poor Harry's lips,
he was obliged to retire, taking (as the lawyers would say) nothing
by his motion.

BOW-STREET.

Saturday, James Firdson,the driver of the hackney chariot, No. 17,
was summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. Arnold, proprietor
of the English Opera House, for refusing to take hint from Charing-
cross to Golden-square.
Mr. Arnold stated, that late la the evening he called the de-
fendant's chariot from the stand at Charing-cross, and desired to be
driven to Golden-square. When the defendant mounted the box
and started, the hordes, instead of going straight on, ran up to the
watering-house close by. The-defendant irnmediaely began beating
them in a most unmerciful manner, and this he continued, even
after he got them past the house, at such a furious rate that the wit-
ness called to him to desist, for that be was in no hurry. The de-
fendant
made no reply, but brat his horses more severely than be-
fore, until he came to the corner of Suffolk-street, when the wit-
ness, determined to suffer it no longer,pulled down the front glass,
and called out" you d—d scoundrel, why don't you cease, did I
not tell you I was In no hurry?" No sooner had he said this than
the defendant pulled up, jumped off the box, and opening the door,
said " I ant d—d if I drive you another foot f ground,and so get out.
You have called me a d—d scoundrel, and I will have satisfaction."
Witness did not know What satisfaction he meant, but certainly felt
some apprehension that he would take it on the spot. He got out, and
the defendant then demanded a shilling for his fare, which witness
refused to give him, on the ground that he had not performed his
contract, but the defendant refused to let him go, and pushed him
several times. A crowd got about them, and witness gave him his
card, which he read and returned, saying " I don't care for your
card--I won't have it—l'll have your money and satisfaction too."
Witness at length gave him a shilling in order to getaway.
The defendant, In answer to the complaint, stated that it was
late at night when he was called, and his horses were tired and
thought they were going home, and It was absolutely necessary to
Box them. He had no sooner commenced doing so, than the com-
plainant, who was very drunk, put his bead out and began with
" you d—d scoundrel, you thief, you infernal rascal," and
continued a whole string of similar abusive terms, and therefore he
was determined to take him no farther. _ _ _

Mr. Arnold denied saying more than " you d—d scoundrel."
Mr. bloom:La said he never saw a more impudent fellow than
the coachman bad shewn himself to be even in that room, and he
certainly should have fined him in the highest penalty of 31. but for
the circumstance of Mr. Arnold having descended (and be Mr.
Muumut . sincerely regretted that he had done so), to use
the expression which he had himself admitted having used. If a
Gentleman so far lost his self:command as to use an abusive epithet,
it gave a sort of license for retort to a vulgar man, and he could
not reconcile it to his duty as a Magistrate afterwards to punish the
one when the other escaped. Fined 10s. and costs, the lowest penalty.

A novel circumstance took place at Shrewsbury on
Wednesday. evening. As the Holyhead coach was
passing opposite to Maxon's wareh:mse, on its way to
the Lion Inn, the leader was seized by the throat by a
large dog, of the bull and mastiff kind, which continued
its attacks from one horse to the other (notwithstanding
the repeated attempts of a crowd with sticks and other
weapons to disable him) till the coach reached High-
street, wheat they succeeded in destroying him. Two of
the !toms were considerably injured.
Monday night last the neighbourhood of Guildford
was visited with a violent storm of thunder and light-'
ning, during which a tremendous hurricane, apparently
limited to a small space, did much damage at Stoke
hill House, the residence of W. P. BRIGSTOCK, Esq. the,
windows of which were driven in, and other parts of
the building injured, and'several fine trees were broken
asunder. About a mile distant to the west, at Hyde's-
hill, a b int, which had been lately rcpaited, was com-
pletely moved altogether upwards of a foot from its
foundation, as ileffected by machinery.
In the case of Thomas Harrison, in the Insolvent

, moved for examinatio❑ to the country.
