ing the Lyons affair, is about to enter into the Rus-

of, he endCavOured to ascertain who were the ring.
leaders, baits efforts proved fruitless. A large iron
bar had been wrenched from the staircase for the
purpose of making a hole in the wall, which had been
perforated nearly two feet, and three feet wide ; the
bricks were piled up in a heap, and it seems it was
their intention to procure some gunpowder to blow
away the stone-work, in order to get throUgh.—

yet has been found. On Friday night 25 of thcw
were removed to the hulks at Sheerness, preparatory

POLICZ

Csumate LL.—A respectable trtiesman in therty I
applied to the ...lagistrate, in his private room, to ;
grant a warrant for the apprehension of his sister and,
a servant man, with whom she had thought proper
'to dope, and marry without his consent.—Mar.
straw, " hay, Sir, is the lady a minor '—Appli-
cant; " A minor I The 4-1 I she is within a year of
•my own age, and I am nearly threescore!"—Magi-
strate, lam afraid your application to me will be
of no use, fer you cannot even shew that you have
any conneul over the Lady. You may, how-
ever; relate the circunetances, and if I can assist you
1 will." The
tradesman
then proceeded, with much
warmth, to intbrie the Magistrate, that the Lady,
had been his housekeeper, his nurse, and his every
Comfort for more than .20 years, for he himself was
a bachelor. .The only domestic in the family, with
theerception of a cock-maid, was a man aged about
40; dgtaie Ind sober:habits, named Michael, who
had been all 'his life in the service of the family His
sister was constantly sounding the praises of "steady
•oher Michael:" and the result was, that she eloped,
hiia, yeaviag; a letter addressed to the com-
44aiitant, siatiog, that she could not resist thein-
` treaties of " t e dear fellow" to make him happy.—.
'l.lte fugitive were now living in Aldergate-street.,
He had sblie red his sister tias return, but to this she.,
!.would not e hisent, unless accompanied by her hirs-s'
b4nd... He determined upon trying whether or not
the law co tit compel her to act as he wished,' and
at,the same tinge punish the-perfidious Itlichael. The
Magistrate said he felt very much for his distress;
but lie w surprized at his application, as it was A
mater of .vhich a Magistrate could not possibly take
Cognizance. He would recentrnead him to accept
of the terms proposed hyhia.sister. To this the ap-
plicantwould not for a moment listen, and departed,
in bitter wrath, sowing 'vengeance titimallie head of
poorMichltel.
MattasoN-irousr..—W.. Tomlinson, a porter at the
Swan with Two Necks Inn, Lad-lane, was summon-
ed before 'Alterman WA ITHNIA N (who sat for the
'Lotto MA von), on the following charge—for taking
fi-orn a Gentleman 2s. 2d. for a parcel, and upoa his
examination-of the books at the Coach-otfiee,
only was charged. The prisoner, in his defence,
rged it was a =Stake. Toe Alderman, on consult-
ing the Act respettiag the Jelive. y of parcels, found
that any overcharge was liable a discre.ionary pe-
nalty from 2d to ss. •but it appeared, that owing ti-
the berry of business, or neglect of the clerks, the
porters themse:ves made out the tickets; this gave
rise to a point, whether the prisoner came &thin the
meaning of the Act, and whether the Magistrate
could inflict the penalty eh him. If he did not, it
amounted to a fraud, and the 'prisoner mus_ take his
trial for it; but thaAlderman, was inclined to t.txe
the lenient course; and, as an example, he thought
the largest penalty should be iafficted.-ui on
The prisoner preferred being fined,. bet dectired his
inability to pay the above sum ; and that. he half
been four ve.r c in his present situation, and never
was summoned before. He assured thp Ma/filtrate
it was al, a. mistake: • The Alderman replied, ":It is
no mistake.;. you know better :...it is astrand. . -This ;
.ircumstance ought to be lilOwn.over the NetrOpolis
with a trumpet, that every persoa may hear of it.—
It is a most itrevous thing upo4 the trading rut of
society. It is a..very. pretty • trade for you porters,
should you hato.so parcels to deliver of a day, to
add an imposition.cf Cid:.upon each of them, thnato
realize 25s —lt is:sr:growing evil, and an example •
must be made:" :The prisoner was'ordered to ad.e..d
on Tuesday,: as a further investigation must lake
place," and theclerk of she Coach office also be exa-
mined. His word was taken,.having no bail at hen&

WA 1T1111.114 -said he Wa. happy this case had been
brought fora-a rd.- He !lad i-eceived• various letters
of this description, bin .he seldom paid -attention to
them till he ascertained the truth of the application.
Some time sineka pets al came to him 'with a list of
names, stating that a Clergyman had been taken in
a fit in the pulpit, and that it was maliciously re-
ported that he was drunk. The consequence was,
I that it became n?ce,iary to raise a subscription for
the injured and unhappy- man. Seeing a number of
highly respectable names in the paper, each of which
was pledged-for a guinea, he put down his guinea,
and soon atter, on meeting sime. of his neighbours,
whose signatures were attached to thespaper, he said,
" Good 'Goo, what a sad thing has happened•to our
Curate !" His ft ieads seemed to have forgotten, with
Christian liberality, the benefiti they had conferred,
when Ile repeated what had been. said to him by the
person who presented the petition; but the only an-
swer he metre was an assurance that they knew
nothing at all of the matt T.—Prisoner remanded.
