Little Waddington, the placard•man, came to this office on
Thursday, just as Mr. Rasmus** was leaving it, and complained
that his landlord bad forcibly ejected him from his lodging.
Mr. Raws.isson said be had no power to act in this case.
Wadengton declared that Mr. Raws.nisen had denied him jus.
tice ; and said he would apply to the Court of King's Bench for
redress.

Mr. RAIILDOOII told him to do so next term.
Aka Dahill, a journeyman of Mr. Patterson, a baker in Prince's
&met, was charged with obstructing the foot way in Ozford-street,

bad brought mail), poor starving fellows to prison, and fined the
defendant 10.. and costs, and told him if be offended again, the
fine should be 401.

Thursday .Ms Thews was brought up for further examination,
before D. W. Gamteue, Esq. charged with robbing her master,
Mr. I'. Phillips, Landlord of the King's Arms, Orchard-street,
Westminster, ie sovereign&
It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Phillips bad saved
about fifty sovereigns during the last nine years, which she had
deposited in some old sticking. in a box in her bed-room, in
parcels of tin pounds each. On Thursday afternoon, the 10th
instant, she gave the prisoner the key of her room, to make the
bed, as she bad the greatest confidence in her honesty, and had
been In her employ neatly five years' during which time she
had treated her more like her own child than a servant. The same
afternoon she absconded, and it was discovered, the following day.
that the box bad been robbed of 40 sovereigns. and several pairs
of stockings. A few days after the prisoner was met, by a friend
of Mr. Phillips. in the New-cut, Lambeth, who took her into cus-
tody ; and on searching her only five sovereigns, some silver, and
several gold rings, were found on ber person. She denied having
stolen 40 sovereigns, but confessed having stolen 12 sovereigns.
The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence.
Mr. GSZOOST said, that the evidence was so strong against her,
that he should certainly commit her for trial. It was a crime of a
moat heinous nature, and as an act of Christian charity, be begged
of her to be prepared for the worst. He should, however, remand
ber for another week.

Byers again attended at this oMce, with his men, Rawlins lad

mers rush into our bowies, and then lay informations against us.

Thursday, hobslla Riakare Lad Mary Swage. were charged with
a deep Iseult and riot in the house of Mr. Farebrother, •
Lleeosed Victualler, residing near the Mice.
From the evidence of the witness it appeared that on the pre-
vious day the two prisoners came to the house of the complainant
partly intoxicated, and after vociferating the grossest abuse upon
the landlord and his servants, commenced a most violent swank
upon the latter; the prisoner Richards struck one young woman
a most tremendous blow, and was about to attack the other ser-
vant, when she and her companion were secured after great re-
*tame. _ _

The Magistrate (Mr. &maw) asked the reason of such a scan-
dalous outrage.
Mr. Farebrother replied, that his servants were bound over to
give evidence against a man then in Newgate. upon a charge of
burglary, and who was a companion of the prisoners. Theg bad
threatened, with horrid oaths, the lives of all the witnesses.
Mr. Bootimisr said, that for one month at least the prisoners.
who were well known to him as desperate characters. should be re-
strained from their outrages upon the public, and he therefore see-
tensed them to a month's COOORCIIIIIK in the House of Correction.

It is a notorious fact, that thoughtless individuals who
are prevailed upon by prostitutes to enter the brothels in the neigh-
bourhood of the winter theatres, are mal-treated and robbed
nightly in these receptacles of vies and Infamy. Several vile and
depraved girls are employed as decoys by the proprietors of these
infamous stews to bring men to their houses foe the purpose of be.
ing plundered, and yet nothing is done by the parishes to get rid of
these aboulivabk nuisances.
Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of F district,• has
issued in his division an order that no polies constable shall detain
any one carrying game about, excepting under circumstances that
excite suspicion that felony has beets committed. The following
gentlemen have beets appointed superintendents of the new division
of police to be embodied Grit month :—Mr. M. G. Dowling (late
chief clerk,) Mr. Herring, (late inspector,) Mt. Murray, Mr. Fab,
and Mr. Parlour.
Lea, a police officer from London, arrived in Limerick
last week, to receive and convey back to London, Patrick M'l4-
mars, who had been apprehendended on suspicion of having cdtg
witted an extensive robbery in Whiteeliapel. 111‘blamata had
concerted a plan to rob a gentleman's house near Kilniallock, In
the county of Limerick, and had by some means or other possessed '
himself of the key of the plate pies., which was taken from him ;
and, but for his apprehension. the robbery would, in all probability,
have been effected the nest day.
Tuesday night some malicious villains attempted to
destroy the premises of Mr. &Aland. a respectable tradesman, at
Mill-hill, Hendon, but were disturbed in their infernal designs, and
made their escape. Os examining the premises, it was discovered
that the villains had attempted to burn down the stables, one end of
which had been set fire to, and was slightly damaged. Close to the
spot was also found a quantity of oats steeped in some liquor which '
wasducertained to be poison, with which it is supposed they in-
tended ro poison the horses. A bludgeon was also •found by the
stables of a very formidable description, with large spike nails at
the end of k, which the wretches bad' left behind them is that,
burry to escape. This is the fifth attempt to destroy the preemies*
*Kirin a few months. The above facts have been laid before the
resident Magistrate, and the police of Hendon ate using their ut-
most endeavours to discover the villains. •
There are a number of stout and sturdy fellows, who
are perpetually annoying the public in gangs. making a hideous eels*
as ballad-singers and -hawkers of ballads, who are a very great
noises's& This should be prevented, as dive vagrants and lazy
irrigates draw the Means of existence chiefly from the industtiotte
.dasses of the, community, who find great ,difficulty in supporting
'bromism,. and ,who are easily duped by impostors..
Last week, -three dead bodies, packed up in trunks,
were, from the offeestie emelt emitted, found io a cart of one of
the carriers to Glasgow, residing in Newton upon-Ayr; god the
