MaNstoN• Housr.—Yesterday a gentleman was
charged with bespeaking a supper, at the Swan
vern,fish-street•hill, and after assaulting the wetiter,''
departing without paying for the same, though it was
ready tobe served up. The defendant stated, that having
some money affairs to transact with a lady who was
in his company, he desired the waiter to withdraw,.
which he refused to do, with some impertinence, he
then put him out of the room, and complained to the
master of his rudeness, who appearing Ist tes disap-
prove of his servant's conduct, he thought himself
jiustified in adjourning to some other hotse, where he
might be accommodated with mr.re civility. The
LORD Mayon, however, ordered him to find bail,
with which he complied, professing his determination
to seek redress in a superior Court, the landlord hav-
ing seized him in the street like a thief, and delivered
him to a constable, who took him to the Poultry-
COM pter.

Flynn, 12 years old, was charged with steal-
ing from another boy, who worked with him in the
service of Mr. Johnson, a plaisterer, in Mot*well-
street, an handkerchief and an apron. The handkei-
thief, which he said he had picked up on his master's
stirs where both the boys lived, was found at his nm-
ther's, but he denied all knowledge of the apron. A
watchman, who was also a labourer for Mr. Johnson,
stated, that Flynn was in the habit of going to the
Catherine Wheel, and that he was an evidence against
a woman of the tdrn, who is to be tried at the Old
Bailey, charged by him with stealing from him ss.
In consequence of this information the Alderman
was unwilling to commit him, as by his so doing his
evidence might b; wanting to convict an older and
worse.criminal. He however ordered him to be re-
manded.

prisoner escaped with a great coat and a watch, by
the area, but was accidentally met the next day in St.
Giles's, and taken into custody.

Thursday a charge was exhibited by a Mr. Camp-'
bell, against a lamplighter, named Glover, for wan-
tonly smearing his pantaloons w 4 his torch, and
afterwards thrusting
_it in his face, by which act, his
clothes were spoilt, and himself severely burned.—
)4r. CamPbell's own evidence to this effect was most
circumstantially corroborated by a friend and a stran-
ger who observed the whole transaction. The pri-
soner denied the charge, and a livery-stable keeper,.
in Oxford-road, his servant, and another man, declared
eieir readines.3 to swear that it was completely false.
The Magistrate, however, in order to prevent the pri-
s .ner's escaping the hands cf justice, said he should
not admit him to bail. He was therefore committed
to Tothill-fields prison, to take his trial.
