TRE WAITS !—Mr. James Munro, a musician, ac
companied by several of his tuneful brethren, ap-
plied yesterday to Sir ROBERT BAKER, at Bow-street,
for his advice and assistance in the following curious
matter :—Mr. Munro stated, that he was one of "the
sworn Waits of the City of Westminster ;' and having
long suffered from the encroachments of Unlicensed
persons, he had determined to appeal to the laws of
his country for protection. He then produced a very
official-looking parchment document, with a large
seal attached. It was dated from " the Court of
Burgesses of the City and Liberty of Westminster,"
and authorised Mr. Munro, of —, to serenade the
good people of the said City and. Liberty during the
joyful season, that is to say, from the 29th Novem-
ber, to Twelfth-night, both inclusive, in the room of
Thomas Clay, deceased.—Sir ROBERT BAKER said,
he was not aware that there was any such warrant or
, appointment as that now produced in existence; for'
in all his reading he had never met with any Mention
of such an office as " a sworn Wait." It appeared,
however, to be a perfectly regular instrument. With
respect to the wandering musicians complained of,
they ssemed to be liked by the Public generally ;
and perhaps in many instances deservedly so. But
at the same time they ought not to trespass on the
purchased rights of others. They mighrcertainly be
given in charge to the watch if found wandering in
the streets after twelve o'clock at night, under the l
Vagrant Act ; and if they collected money under pre-
tence of being what they were not, in that case they
might be prosecuted for obtaining money under false
pretences. Mr. Munro did not seem very well satis-
fied with this decision; but no other being to be had,
he and his colleagues retired.
UNION HALL.—Yesterday no less than sixty women
of the town, and a number of reputed thieves, were
brought before the Magistrates of this Office, on a
privy search warrant, charged as rogues and vaga-
bonds. Acts of the most depraved character_ were
proved against them ; and as the Magistrates, from
what has recently occurred in the Metropolis,. are
fully detetminesi to treat such persons with the
utmost rigour of the law, they were all committed
to prison.
