after a Commission had been issued against him, and with having
taken with hint between 7001. and 8001. it was ascertained that the
Act is so worded as to allow a man to plunder his creditors to any
extent, provided he has out passed his 'Mid examination. The
Loco M•roa, in the course Of the investigation, expressed some
surprise at this extraordinary oversight.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Treacher, of Montague-place, Little Bri•ain, gave notice, in
order that persons might not be tricked in the saute manlier, that
a pretended Frenchman, accompanied by an interpreter, had hired
a furnished lodging at his house on Tuesday morning; and while
be was absent, had prevailed upon his wile to advance them 6/.
upon the security of a pretended valuable shawl and a gold watch.
They went out and returned no more, and the shawl and watch
bad turned out to be of very trifling value indeed.
Mr. Alderman Amur directed the complainant to take the
fellows. Into custody, if be should meet with them again. •
A PlitirlTAlLS Sins-wat.e.—Meeirs. Peacock, Harris, and
Gutsier, three young men of respect Able appearance, were charged
with drinking six quarto of milt and six pennyworth of coppers, at
the Bell public-house, Cloak-lane, Tdesslay evening last.
Elisa Rice, a Welch milk-maid in the employ of Mr. Richard
Griffiths, an emigrant from the land of gnats, stated that she went
to serve milk at Mrs. Johnson's, at the Cell. and having deposited
her large tin, containing six quarts of that wholesome beverage, and
a smaller tin appended to the large one, containing the halfpence,
at the shop door, went down stair's with the quantity she was in
the habit of leaving. On her return the tins, milk, and halfpence
were gone; and having inquired of Mrs. Johnson, touching them,
was informed that Mr. Peacock was gone to serve the rest of the
customers: She went to Mr. Peacock's house, in Thames-street,
where she saw the prisoners, who bundled her out without any
ceremony. Mr. Griffiths subsequently waited on the Gentlemen
to inquire after the sulLy-way. when Mr. Peacock attempted t,i
assault him, but did not hurt him mach !"
The prisoners alleged that they were thinking at the Bell, when
some one brought in the milk and treated the company ; atter
which Peacock touk the tins out and deposited them in the bar.
" But which of you drank the halfpence?' inquired the Alder-
, man.

The prisoners declared solemnly it was neither of them.
As Mr. Griffiths was not much hurt, the Attie' 111411 thought that
compensation for the milk and Isl. ought to satisfy bins.
The prisoners agreed to give a soversigst, it being understocnl
that the complainant was to satisfy the watchman out of it for his
trouble.

When the milkman got the snvcreign hr refused to part with
any of h. deeming twenty shillings only the value of what he hrd
lost; and being asked by the Alderman hi w much sit quart,
would cow? replied, two shillings. " l'wo slsillinga for the milk
and sixpence In nion,y only make half a crown; ther,iiiie," said
the Alderman, " you niu.t certainly give the watchman something."
The milkman grumbled a good deal as he glom the watchman a
trine, and went away aka disposing of his mil/ at a profit that
would soon make his fortune.
