Serjeant Rowland, of the Guards, complained of :he conduct el
Mamas Harrison, the summoning constable of the pari.b of Pad-
dington, for refusing bUlets to forty.five recruits whom he had en.
der his charge, for the purpose of marching then► to their respec.
rive stations ; and lie was also charged with calling the teem:3
" vagabonds."—Mr. Harrison's defence was, that there were only
eighteen public houses in Paddington, and above 150 s•tldiers,
longing to the Foot Guards, were quartered upon them : he denied
having called the recruits vagabonds ; he merely asked the Serjeatt
where he brought the ragamuffins from? The defendant was lined,
under the Mutiny Act, 40s. and costs.
Timm ES POLICE-

Thomas Rice, a master butcher, residing in Poplar, against wheat
a complaint Was nude a few days since, for imposing upon Mr.
May, a baker of Poplar, first, in obtaining from him cash for tun
fraudulent cheques, and secondly, for having illegally possessed
himself of a Bill of Exchange for twenty pounds, which he bad
given in part payment of the cheques, was brought up for examina-
tion. On Thunday last, when the bill became due, ht requested
Mr. May to allow it to be reaewed for a month, and when Mr.
May sent his man to the acceptor's house with the bill, the prisoner
obtained it from him under the pretence of comparing the stamp
with another, and which bill be never returned. The cheques were
stated to have been drawn by Captain Pauher, whereas, they were
prepared by a man named Potter, a grocer, of Fenchurdi-street.
Another chirp was preferred by a Mrs. Allen, the landlady of
a public-house. Mrs. Allen stated, that on the 20th July, the day
after her husband was interred, the prisoner called on her, and pro-
duced a cheque, purporting to be drawn by Putter, Glynn, and
Co. for £2O. He said be owed her husband £2, which he cull-
sented to pay, provided she gave him change for the cheque.
gave him eighteen sovereigns, and received the cheque, which ve.s
dishonoured. Mrs. Allen's brother-law having discovered that
similar chequeqremained unpaid, called on Potter, but he ahuAtJ
Mrs. Allen, arM said she Mad no right to take it. Potter be:. g
present, said he gave the cheques for bills and wine, and when to
discovered that the bills were of no value, in consequence of being
drawn on an improper stamp, be stopped the cheques, and did nut
make any provision fur their payment. He had been swindled to a
considerable amount, and that might have induced him to speak
harshly to Mrs. Allen. The prisoner denied having any fraudulent
intention when be took the Mil, aad said he bad assisted May on
several occasions. He was remanded.

The witty Duke of BUCKINGHAM was used to re-
ward his worst servants first ; and being asked the rea-
son, he said, thereby he was sooner rid of them, and
the others would abide in hope."

the best cheese in the 'solid. and proved it by the fol-
lowing climax :—The best cheese in the world, said he,
is made in England—the best in England is made in
Cheshire—the best in Cheshire is made at Namptwich
—and the best at Namptwich is made by my mother!

PARSONS, the actor, lies buried in Lee Church•yard.
near Blackheath. His tombstone is nearly covered
with weeds, and the inscription is scarcely legible. His
epitaph was written by the late CHARLES DIRDIN, and
is as follows:

Here Parsons lies; oft on life's busy stage
With nature, Header, hut thou seen him vie—
He science knew, knew manners, knew the age;
Respected knew to live--lamented die !
