Mr. Cobhett, jun. attended to prefer four informations against
Mr. William Cawood, the toll collector at the Kingsland-gate, for
taking illegal tolls. Ile called John Collett, the driver of a coal
'can, who deposed that the collector would not allow him to go
land return with his load for we payment, but having made four
jourui...l in one day, he was made to pay four times. This, Mr.
-Coheiett conteeded, was a violation of the' General Turnpike Act.
Mr. Wookr, from Mr. Harmer's oilice pointed out the Local
Act by which the General Act was superseded, with reference to
carri iges loaded, and of cootie, there was no ground for the infor-
mation, whi.:h the Magistrate accordingly dismissed.

the Gentleman from Sutsoitteet ro his reeklettor, and In his way had

coachm an back catage kw merely trMaing over suck a small space
of road from one part of the paved streets to another.
The coachman respectfully submitted that his Worship was
wrong. Ile was entitled to back carriage, unless there was a caw-
tinumbin of pavement the whole distance ; and Mr. Dyer, living
near the same place, had paid him without hesitation.

a little bit of road, sad was .et down en the pavement.

was inflicted, and the Gentleman did not even require payment of
costs, but merely a refundfalg of the la. overcharge.

UNION-HALL
g young woman, named Elisabeth Lyons,
has been in custody a week, charged with stealing a valuable
garnet ring, the property of Menu. Barber and Jepp, pawn-
broliers, High-street, Suuthwark, was brought up for final exami-
nation. The Kintner was. apprehended on suspicion :of having
Jobbed a journeyman draper of SW. but he declined prosecuting.—
,The constable, however, who took her into custody, knowing that
she was light fingered, and finding that she had recently pyre-
. ased some wearing apparel, •as well as ear-rings and other
articles, made inquiry to ascertain of whom the property had been
bought, anticipating that probably the money thus spent might
be traced as belonging to the young man. In her pockets were
found sewsral new rings, and she likewise wore a pair of large
earrings, also new. These, she said, had been purchased of
Messrs. larber and Jepp. The constable also fitiunA. in her pos.
eession a garnet ring, which she told him was given her by
a young sailor In the mouth of March last: all the articles of
jewellery the constable took to the proseturors, when one of the
firm, Mr. Jepp, recognized the garnet sing, saying, that he did
not sell it when the other articles were. purchased by the prisoner.
A jeweller who made the king in question, with five others, stated
" that it had only been delivered to the prosecutors about a fortnight
ago," so that the prisoner's tale of receiving it from a Tailor fell to
the ground. She now declared that she had never asserted such a
fact ;.hut the constable assured the Magistrate, Mr. Hone _that.
what ite had already saidwas what she told bant. The prisoner
was fully committed.

ST. JAINtS'S PA att.—The workineti who have lately
been employed forming a foundation with bricks from
the Bird Cage Walk, have advanced as hr as the Pa-
rade, and have been succeeded by masons and smiths
placing a six inch stone coping and iron railings, which
will form a barrier about sis feet is height, of a very
Her and elegant character. The site on which these
railings ace placed is that of the former wooden pal.
In gs ; so that, in feet, the Ogsrre of the green enclosure
want not in the least be altered.

The new paving 91'41.e-street has been at length
finished. The foundation of the pavement has been
completely Macadamized; and-there is great probability
that the experiment will answer. The manner of paving
parts of the street w varied, and a few months sal
show which plan is the best, and the most proper to be
adopted hereafter, with respect to durability and the
saving of expence.
YeAerslay afternoon Mrs. Amelia Saunders, an elder.
ly lady of fortune, residing in Camden Street, Islington,
was pt °reeding along the New Road, towards the Cha-
pel, to attend divine service, when she suddenly fell
back, and br fire assistance could be procured, the un-
fortunate lady was a corpse.

Dandy of the first water, having painted a picture for
the Marquis of Lonsdown, called on his Lordship not
Icing since, and was introduced. The Noble Marquis
not being much amused with his airs and graces, and
perceiving an affected reluctance to mention the object
Obis visit, put it bluntly to him—" I suppose you are
tome for your money ? and, ascertaining the amount,
inesented him with a draught. No becoming imme-
diately, as it was wished, " a retiring beauty," but ficirf
ling his cravat, and dangling about, his Lordship said,
" I believe, Sir, that is right? any thing snore?"—
"No, no—not exactly—but," said Mr, " but 1
wish to apprise your Lordship that I shall send my en-
graver in •a few days for my picture, as I intend to have
lit engraved."—" Your picture!" said the Marquis, with
some .emphasis, " your picture! I thought, Sir, it was
mine•--have not I paid you for it?"—" Yes, certainly,"
was the reply. gs Then." added his Lordship, " I intend"
to do no such thing, and with- you /good morning.'
