Sir C. Hums saki, the Act d PaainUM authorised the Ma.

poor, of whom the prisoner herself was use; it gave her a week to
pay that nun in, and oc tailing so to do, called on the llaglatrate to

Yesterday two young men, named Meet and Wailer, were
beaten before Sr R. Beam, charged by a Mr. Davies, a member
of the Jewish fraternity, with committing a violent assault epos
him. The complainant stated, that he went en Thursday evening,
with an acquaintance named Jones, to the house !mown as" Water
a..," it Brydges.street where billiard tables are kept, for the
purpose of having a ftieeidly game as billiards. They had not been
long playing when the two defendants walked into the moat, un-
covered, and appeared as though they belonged to the horse. Ooe
of them challenged complainant to a game at bastard, and produced
a boa and dice. The challenge was declined, upon which the de-
feedasts commenced a sneering attack upon the templaiinua and
W friend, observing, maw otheethings, that they supposed com-
plainant was afraid of spending too mach of his master's money.—
At length* (complainant) suffered himself to be provoked into
a game with the dice, and he very apeedily lost three half-crowns.
Cenapkinarst taxed Chilcott with cheating, and he immediately Sew
into a great passion, and struck him. The other defendant joined
in the attack upon complainant and his friend, and they were forced
out of the room. The noise brought up a man embed Smart, ma
hie Wife, who, it appeared, were the managing keepers of the tam,
and both of them assisted in beating the tailplanes& and Ms friend
in 11 most unmerciful avant.
Mr. Jones, the friend of the complainant, corroborated this statt-
mem, and said that the two defendants came into the street, and
be gave them in charge to the watch.
Sir R. Beams, on beariag this story, seat for Ms. and Mrs.
Smart, and placed them in the character of defendants.
The answer to the charge made by the defendants was, that the
complainants lost their money fairly, and then quarrelled about it,
and behaved in a riotous sad Insolent inaoiser.

The marker of the ailliard table was mat for, and from kink 134
R. Beams obtained the names of all the partnere in the boom in
question.

Sir Stetson° said be was glad that the nausea of the AM bad been
obtained ; it might answer a salutary purpose. He this ordered
all the foot defradants to And b4l for the 'Staudt. •

A young man, named lime, was charged by Non, a-beadle of
Covent.gardeti, with molesting his in the mastics of his duty.
Mott stated, that at a late hour an Thursday night, or rather yes-
terday morning, there was a mob of people collected in Bew-nrest,
and he and the watchmen were endeavouring to disperse them;
when the defendant came up and interfered, declaring that esitia.l
he nor the watchmen knew their duty, and that the tattier had so
business to knee theit beats to make die people g. away. Weenie!
took him into custody on his refusing to go about his bossiness.
Sir R. *num asked the defendant if he was an inspector of the
watch ?—The defendant said be was not, but an inspector was
nitwit wanted, from what he had seen of the watch in this neigh-,
bourhood.
Sir U. Blame said there was some truth in this. He wished
much that the 'Watchmen would do their duty is looking after sad
putting down the abodihtatit bonnie which abounded in the neigh-
bourhood ; if they did not, be woold-diecitarge throe or font of
them, amid that step perhaps would beteg the remainder to their
wows. He understood that a man Willi h 44 kept a house tailed
the Shakspeare, and from which be had been ousted, had opened
rooms of the same kind directly opposite the Mee. He would
net, if he could prevent it, suffer suck a nisimeee under the nary
nose of the Office. Unfortunately, the lest Vagrant Act had de-
prived the Magistrates of the right of what was called privy search,
er these houses would exist but a very Ain time indeed.—The
defeudwt was discharged.
