ad went away; bet -beforeleitness sent the goods he
ascertained that the check was forged, so that
he
saved the candles. A clerk from Jones and Lloyd's
proved that the checks were false and forged. The
prisoner, although repeatedly urged by the Magis-
trate, refused, to say who or what be was.—He was
fully committed.
TOWN•HADL, SOUTHWARK......7Oh/l Minns was yes-
terday brought before Mr. Alderman J. J. Smrrn,
charged with stealing certain artisles, the property
of Mrs. Sewell, of John-street, Bermondsey, with
whom he bad lodged. Kinsey, the officer, being in-
formed of the prisoner being suspected, came to the
house in the evening, when the prisoner was at home,
to make a formal search. The prisoner, however,
locked his door, and refused all admission. " His
house," he said, " was his castle, and nobody should
go in without he liked." Kinsey then advised an
entry by the other door of the room. The prisoner
observed, very adroitly, " Aye ! that is the way the
things must have gone, if anything is stolen." Some
furniture was found missing. On this Kinsey took
him into custody, and, after much resistance, lodged
him in the Compter. Part of the articles missing
were produced by a pawnbroker, who identified the
prisoner as the person who pledged them with him.
The prisoner admitted the facts, and entered into a
long harangue, the tenour of which was, that, having
received a wound in his head in his Majesty's service,
in which he had been for twenty-nine years, a little
liquor rendered him wholly incapable of deciding
between right and wrong. Being now sober, he was
willing to make good the property, and trusted the
Magistrate would forgive him. Mr. AldermanSm [IV
observed, that it was a very mistake!, notion that,
after an actual felony had been committed, the re-
storation of the property would set all to rights again.
The Magistrate, however, in consequence of another
charge of a similar kind, considered him as habitually
dishonest, and fully committed him to take his trial.
Usion HALL.—Yesterday, Christopher Wottime, a
young man about twenty-one years of age, was
brought before the sitting Magistrates, C. CHAMBERS,
Esq. and KING, Esq. charged on suspicion of
having stolen a trunk from the back of a Gentleman's
carriage. One of the horse patrol who scour the
Kent Road stated, that at about seven o'clock in the
evening, as he was going along that toad, near the
Lord Nelson public-house, he observed the prisoner
lying in the ditch on the left hand side. Upon going
over, he saw that it was something more than acci-
dent that Lad brought the person to that situation,
and that if he had fallen, a large trunk must have
fallen with him. Ile immediately took the prisoner
into custody, and found that the straps of the trunk
had been cut. The trunk was, however, in every
other respect uninjured, and the property of the owner
perfectly safe. Several persons who had been robbed
of trunks attended at the Office; amongst them was
Harry Leech, the celebrated dwarf, whose friends
cry him up at the fairs round the Metropolis, as " the
most wonderful of all GOD'S living creatures." This
extraordinary little being, having succeeded, after
some efforts, in making himself visible to the Magis-
trates, stated, that he had sustained a heavy loss of
the same kind. He lost on Wednesday last, in the
evening, at six o'clock, a trunk from the back of his
chaise, to which it had been secured with straps. In
the trunk, be.ides clothes and other things of value,
was the sum of El 4. Mr. Brown, one of the Clowus
of Astley's Theatre, also appeared, to ascertain whe-
ther he had any claim to the trunk or not, having
lost a trunk through the activity of some of the drags-
men with whom that road abounds. The trunk, which
is covered with an oil-cloth, has not, however, been
recognized. The prisoner was remanded.
M A ItY-L A-BONN OFFlCE.—Yesterday an infor-
mation came on to be heard at this Office, before Mr.
GRIFFITHS and Mr. HOSKINS, the sitting Magistrates,
against Mr. W. Tollett, proprietor of one of the
Uxbridge coaches, for carrying more passengers than
is allowed by Act of Parliament, and for placing.a
portmanteau on the coachman's foot-board, contrary
to the statute. The informer stated that, on the 28th
of September, he saw the coach in question passing
through Oxford-street, with seven outside passengers
(the Act only allowing five). There was also a port-
manteau on the foot-board of the coachman, standing
upright. The defendant observed, that it was a very
hard case with respect to the portmanteau, which
might have been placed there by the passenger to
whom it belonged ; and if coachmen were always
to refuse carrying trifling and light luggage on the
outside, at times they would have no passengers at all
—Besides, in the present instance, the portmanteau
might have been placed in the boot, but through its
length projected from it. Mr. GRIFFITHS said it cer-
tainly was a hard case with respect to the portman-
teau ; but the Act was imperative, and only allowed
the Magistrates to mitigate the penalty from £lO to
£5. The defendant was accordingly convicted in
the latter sum on each information.

SIRWILLIAM CURTIS.--It could be little suspected
that the present Royal favourite, Sir WM. CURTIS,
had originally been the political ew of Jona HORNE
TOOKE. Such, however, it appears, was the case, and
in this manner Toone related the occasion ;--.! Sir
WILLIAM'S father had been a zealous friend of popu-
lar politics in the city and county, and at the period
of the great contest for Middlesex, when WILKES
was opposed by LUTTEREL, old Mr. CURTIS regretted
that his business and time of life prevented him being
so active in behalf of his favourite candidate as he
wished to be. gMy son, however,' says he, 6is just
now of age; he is young and strong; take him, Mr.
Howie, under your own direction, and make him
useful in your. canvass. The young man (continued
Holm Twits) retained his acquaintance with Are
for some years afterwards; but subsequently, as
would be readily supposed, we seldom met. It hap-
pened, however, after a very long interval, while I
was a Member of the House of Commons, that we
did meet at the door of the House,. going out
into the lobby, and, what was more e
going out on a division upon the same side. Being
side by side," said TOOKE, " I offered him my hand',
as an old political pupil, and told him I was heartily
glad to find that he had returned to his master and
to his original principles at last. Return r

Sir WILLIAM, archly, I never left my principles; it
is you, Mr. TOOK E, who have changed.'--, How am
I to understand you, Sir WILLIAM?'.' Why, Mr.
TOOKR, when I engaged in politics with you we had
the majority with us; by the majority I have always
stuck, aad I w4l keep among the majority to the "
