GUILDHALL.

Mesgaret Painter, a poor Irish woman, was charged under the
small Trespass Am with being " a wilful and malicious wrong
doer," and committing damage to the athount of U. Margaret, it
seems, had been buying a load of cabbages, and set them down
under a public house window in Barbican, while she went in to
regale herself. In the mean time, a tame sheep, which bad been
kept some years by Mr. Drum butcher, on the other side of the
street, as a decoy to entice Rocks cote the slaughtering house,
strayed over, and ate a single cabbage leaf. Margaret heard of the
spoliation, and went out just in time, as she declares, to catch the
butcher's man making motions to the animal, which it appeared to
comprehend, to pick off another leaf or two. She silently walked
ever, and gave the butcher two tremendoes blows in the face, and
spit at him. His mistress interfering, drew the whole of Peggy's
ire upon her, and she forthwith commenced pelting the meat with
mud and filth, and did not cease till she was secured. The value
of the joints so bespattered was estimated at 501. and the loss in
trimming and parlbg, where the sponge would not effectually cleanse
them, was supposed to be upwards of 51. Sir Otani.= FLovres
fined her 40$. and in default committed her to the tread mill for
seven days.
BOW-STREET.

A watchman, named Robert Newman, whose hem is in Norfolk-
street, Strand, was charged with a felony. A female, named
Hooper, stated, that on Thursday night, about one o'clock, she was
walking along the Strand, between St. Clement's Church and
Somerset House, and she dropped her reticule, containing about
thirty duplicates, the keys of her lodgings, a yard of muslin, and
some half-pence. She instantly gave information to the different
watchmen of her loss, and yesterday morning she went to the
pawnbrokers to stop the property. At one of the pawnbroker's
shops she found that the prisoner had taken out a brooch. She
went to another shop, and a female presented herself to pledge the
same brooch which the prisoner had redeemed at the former shop,
and she asked her where she got the brooch? She admitted that
her husband, the prisoner, had picked up a reticule that morning
in the Strand, containing duplicates, &c.—A Bow-street Patrol
said, that he accompanied the prosecutris and the wife of the pri-
soner to an apartment in Milford lane, Strand, and he there found
the reticule he produced, containing duplicates, &c.
Sir R. Blame asked the prisoner what he bad to say for himself ?
He confessed that he picked up the reticule, and he did not see any
harm in redeeming the property.—Sir R. Mama said, that he
could not conceive from whence the parish of St. Clement Danes
got such a set of watchmen. A felony had been completely made
out against the prisoner, and he was ordered to be remanded till
Tuesday neat.
UNIONaHALL

Yesterday, two young men, who gave their names George Wilson
and William Eldon, and described themselves as horsedealers, were
brought up in custody, charged with violently assaulting one of the
waiters in the service of Mr. Ford, the proprietor of the newly-
established wine rooms called the " Rotunda," at the Surrey aide of
Blackfriars Bridge. The defendants, who are both powerful men,
were farther charged with outrageous conduct in clearing the room
of the company, flinging bottles at the heads of those who opposed
them, and fintlly with smashing upwards of four guineas' worth of
glass, in the shape of decanters and wine glasses.
A Mr. Jones stated, that on the previous evening, while be was
sitting in the Rotunda wine-rooms, enjoying good cheer and excel-
lent singing, the defendants entered the room together, and having
placed themselves near the situation in which he sat, began at the
outset to ridicule and insult several gentlemen within hearing.—
Their very improper conduct drew forth some remarks In the
room, which were no sooner uttered, than Wilson jumped up and
struck witness a violent blow across the head with a stick, without
the slightest provocation, accompanying it with this expression,
" There, take that bonnetter on the :sapper case." The blow was
no sooner struck than it was the signal for a general engagement ;
the other defendant, Eldon, who was also armed with a thick stick.
paid away at the heads of those who approached him for the pur-
pose of expelling hlm altogether from the place, as it was the una-
nimous wish of all present that two such troublesome customers
should be turned out without further delay. This object, however,
was not accomplished so easily ; •for both the defendants jumped up
on the tables, which were crowded at the time with glasses and
decanters, and there stood, ha defiance of a whole room of com-
pany, threatening destruction to any that should approach them,
and flourishing their sticks about, to the no small terror of the land-
lord and all his waiters. At length some resolute persons, deter-
mined on their expulsion, as the place was by this time a scene of
the greatest confusion, went towards them, and at the moment
Wilson seized upon a full bottle of wine which stood neat him,
and flung it at the head of a gentleman, who narrowly escaped with
his life, by bending when it was thrown. The defendants were
ultimately hauled down off the tables, but not before they smashed
every bottle, glass, and decanter in the room, besides assaulting
many gentlemen, who were under the necessity of quitting the
room, in consequence of the defendauer outrageous conduct. They
were at length taken off to the watcb-houre.
Mr. Ford, the landlord, said that he was convinced the defend-
ants entered his house for the sole purpose of exciting a riot and
disturbance there. lie had never sten suth outrageous behaviour
