In the evening a considerable number of the respect-
able inhabitants of the place assembled at the Drum
Tea-Gardens, when JOHN CoLssitait, supported by
two of his sons, under a canopy of laurel, preceded
by a band of music and Rags flying, and followed by
his fellow-workmen, two and two, and accompanied
by a large concourse of people, proceeded to the
houses of the principal inhabitants of the place: and
it was truly gratifying to witness the reception he
met with from each of them. On the approach to
each house the band formed on the lawn in front,
playing Goa save the King, while the worthy old man
was met by the head of each family at the door, and
welcomed and congratulated on the respect shewn
him by his neighbours on the occasion; on leaving
each house three hearty cheers were given ' • and on
returning to the Drum, he was met by the landlord,
and conducted to his seat, overhung with boughs of
laurel, at the upper end of a large booth, erected on
purpose, capable of containing upwards of three hun-
dred people, where, from the liberal subscription of
many of the principal inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood, he and his fellow-workmen partook of an ex-
cellent supper, and nearly a butt of beer was distri-
buted to those who chose to partake of it. On the

bright example of honesty, industry, and integrity,
with three, it was received and drank with universal
applause, and a succession of toasts followed, viz.
" The KiNo."--.. The Propricor of Walmer Court."
" Lord Livitaroot."—Lady HARVSY and Family,"
&c. At intervals the band played several lively tunes,
and the younger part of the company amused them
selves with country dances, and in one of which JOHN
COLEMAN himself joined with one of his grand-daugh-
ters with all the activity of a young Man. This sur-
prising character is now seventy-five years of age,
and never knew a day's illness: inured to hard work
from his cradle, it became so habitual to him, that to
this day he could no more live without employment
than any other man could live without food. He has
brought up and educated eleven sons and daughters
(several of whom are now living in respectable cir-
cumstances) without ever having received, and would
even now disdain to receive parochial relief, he is
esteemed and respected by all who know him.

Friday evening, about ten o'clock, As two young
men were walking down the end of the East Pier, at
ltamsgate, they observed a bundle wrapped up lying
behind one of the stone posts ; they took a up and
unpacked it, when the contents were found to be a
lady's bonnet, bath cloak, and a shawl; and from
their not being wet with the dew, they could not in
all probability have been there long. The extraordi-
nary circumstance was immediately made known,
but nothing transpired that evening : the clothes were
lodged in the hands of Lieutenant Wainwaan, the
Harbour Master. On the following day, public no-
tices were posted, stating, that a Lady had left her
honie that evening, about aquarter before ten o'clock,
and had not since been heard of. The dress was car-

tied to the Lady's late residence, and it being recog-
nized by her husband, there was too great reason to
fear the unfortunate Lady had fallen into the sea.—

mand to search for the body, but their attempts were

BOW•STRICIT4.••MR. BINJAMIN
Yesterday, Mr. Benjamin Bloomfield, the person
charged with defrauding Mr. Shirley, of Rocking-
ham-row, Kent-road, of £2OO, under the pretence of,
procuring him a situation in the Customs, was placed
at the table fronting the bar. He is a tall young man
of very gentlemaiily appearance and imposing man-
ner. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, in an undertone, asked
him hots he had been treated in prison during his
confinement ? The defendant said quite as well as the
nature of the place would admit of. Sir RICHARD
then said "Is there any person present who has a
charge to prefer against this young man?" No an-
swer was made. At this time the Office was crowded
in every corner.—Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defendant,
requested that the examination might be deferred till
Friday se'nnight. A long conversation then ensued
between the Learned Gentleman, Sir R. BMUS, and
Mr. Shirley, who pressed for an immediate exami-
nation, urging, the inconvenience of his attending
again ; but, after some conversation with Mr. Har-
mer's clerk, who attended for the prosecution, he
consented; and Sir R. BIRNI E being informed that,
if the examination was deferred till then, there
would be ample time to bring the case on at the
Middlesex Sessions, it was poitponed till that day.—
While this conversation was going on, two Gentle-.
men, who had been refused admittance at the door,
on account of the crowded state of the Office, sent
in a note to the Magistrate, and, on being admitted,
one of the Gentlemen stated that he saw an adver-
tisement, stating that a mercantile situation was to
be procured for the sum Of 1.'700, and a reference
was made to the defendant, whci, when be saw him,
said it was not a mercantile situation, but one under
Government, in the Lottery Department, and that he
had interest to procure R. Boons. " Did you
pay him the money, or any part of it?"—The Gen-
tleman replied in the negative.—Mr. ADOLPHUS said
" Then there is nothing in that case ; there is an end of
that." Sir RICH Ann BiltNIE thought the complainant
in " high luck." The second Gentleman stated that
be had an interview with the defendant respecting a
situation in the War Department, which be professed
himself to be able to obtain. The price was to be
£lO9. He called subsequently at No. 1, King's
Bench-walk, Temple, where he saw a Mr. Nightin-
gale, who said Mr. Bloomfield could not procure the
situation, and, ringing the bell, desired complainant
to walk out.—Mr. ADOLPHUS. "Then you can't say
he took you in."—The complainant then added, that
he was first referred to Mr. Nightingale, but when
be called he saw Bloomfield, who said ie was the
person who had interest to procure the situation.—
Ihese complaints were dismissed, as not being tan-
gible by the law. The further hearing was then ad.
journed until Friday se'nnight, and the defendant
was committed until that day to the House of Cor-
rection for the County.
MANSION-Mouse.—Yesterday a powciful
who is known by the name of Bob Smith, was
brought before the LORD Mayon, on a charge oil
having committed an outrageous assault on a lad
named Campbell. Oil Monday, several street-rob-
bers who ietest the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate,
were fully committed for trial on charges of high:
way robbery ; ail) amongst other persons, the com-
plainant Campbell gate evidence against them.—
Campbell, wlio lives in Angel-alley, was smoking his
• pipe near his door, when he saw two robbers go•up
to a :man .ind take his watch from him, as he was
standing at his own door. Campbell knew the man
by sight, and mentioned the circumstance to the
Police-officers, fur which his life has since been con-
stantly threatened. Ile stated, that he has been se-
veral times beaten with great severity, and he charged
the prisoner, who is the bully of the place, with hav-
ing set upon him at night and beaten him most un-
mercifully, calling him a nose (informer), and using
the most horrid epithets. The complainant's mother
had also been constantly assailed on the same ac-
count ; and they both stated, that unless they re-
ceived powerful protection, they had everything to
apprehend horn the resentment of the thieves belong-
ing to that alley. This body, it appears, is so nu-
merous and power fu!, that those who inhabit the
place are kept in such awe, that they never dare give
a word of information, or speak in any way upon
the robberies which they daily witness. The pri-
soner admitted that lie had beaten the complainant,
but said it was a private quarrel, in which he (the
prisoner) had received great provocation.• He denied
that it was on account of any police matter, and said
he had never used language which indicated other-
wise. The complainant swore to the Lica he had
stated ; and the complainant's mother stated, that she
had been assailed with the most foul abuse and threats
by the woman with whom the prisoner cohabited.—
The LORD MAYOR strongly animadverted on the
case, and said, that the characters who associated in
these places would find themselves greatly mistaken,
if they thought they could contend with the present
police of the city. Those who presumed in any way
to annoy the persons who did their duty by giving
evidence, would meet with punishment so severe as
would convince them of the folly of setting them-
selves against the law. His Lordship ordered the
prisoner to find bail to answer for the outrage at the
Sessions, and in default he was committed to prison.
His Lordship ordered the City Solicitor to prosecute,
and bound over the complainant to give evidence ;
and desired that he would bring information of who-
ever should in future in any way molest him.
GUILDHALL..--YOUTHFUL D.CPRAVITY.It is
la-
mentable to observe the alarming increase of crime
among the juvenile branches of society, evinced in
the number of grown lads that are brought up almost
daily at the different Police-offices, charged with va-
rious offences. No less than five prisoners of this de-
scription underwent an examination at this Justice-
room yesterday, before the sitting Magistrate, Mr.
Alderman Cox.
The tiva, a lad about 16, named Georg Green, was
charged by his master, James Brampton, a dealer in
coals, in the neighbourhood of Golden-lane, in whose
employ he had been not quite a fortnight, with re-
ceiving. money from several of his customers and
converting it to his own use. Brampton's customers,
who had heretofore always paid ready money, seemed
on a sudden as if to have agreed together to take
credit ; for whether it was a bushel or a sack of coals
be was sent oat with, the prisoner always returned,
with some excuse or other why they were not paid

'tor, and on subsequent inquiry his master learnt that
the lad had received the money, as usual in that busi-
ness, from the majority of the customers. In this way
he had received upwards of 355. in one week, which
his master had discovered, and 'he expected to find
other sums in a similar situation. Two small sums
so received by the prisoner, and not accounted for to
his master, were given evidence of ; and the prisoner,
who had nothing to urge in his excuse, was commit•
ted to take his trial for the offence.
James Smith, a lad about a year older than the
last prisoner, was committed to Newgate for picking
a Gentleman's pocket on Fish-street-hill, in.zhe middle
of the day, being taken in the act of making his escape,
and the stolen handkerchief found in his possession.
John Davis and Charles Hickson, the former 13,
and the latter 18 years of age, had very humanely
been permitted by the waggoner to geo into the
Southampton waggon, to give them a lift on their
road to London, and in return for his kindness bad
contrived to cut open a portmanteau, and pack up a
part of its contents into a bundle • but the robbery
was fortunately discovered by a fellow-passenger in
the waggon, before an opportunity offered for them
to make their escape with the property. The owner
of the portmanteau not being in attendance, the pri-
soners, who had confessed the fact, were remanded

for a further hearing.
The case that excited the greatest interest was that
of Benjamin Butlel,an apprentice, who was brought
up by his master, Mr. Light, a wholesale hardware-
man, No. 71, Fleet-market, with the view of getting
his indentures discharged; under the provisions of the
Statutes 20 Geo.ll. cap. 19, and 32 Gen. 11. cap. 37,
for regulating Parish Apprentices. His master did
not actually charge him with theft, because,. as he
silt!, he could not bring proof of the fact, although he
considered that numerous articles that were missing
could not have been taken away without his know-
ledge and connivance ; but his general conduct and
behaviour, as described by Mr. Light, exhibited a
most extraordinary instance of incorrigible obstinacy
and perverseness of disposition. The lad, who is now
eighteen, and has been with Mr. Light four years,
was left an orphan at an early age, and brought up
by a poor couple, his foster parents, residing at
Bromley, in Kent, who described him as of a most
wretched temper, even from a child. The school-
master where he received the little education he had,
stated, in a letter to Mr. Light, that he had scarcely
ever witnessed a child of so exceedingly bad a dispo-
sition, and that he occasioned him more trouble and
uneasiness than all his other scholars put together.—
Mr. Batt, the parish clerk of St. Mary Woolchurch,
by which parish the lad had been apprenticed, bore
testimony to his extraordinary perversity. Mr. Light
said, he had used every possible endeavour to correct
the obstinacy of the boys temper, and the habitual
surliness of hi., manner, but without the slightest
effect. lie had parted with two or three female ser-
vants through the violence of his conduct, each de-
claring it was impossible to live in the house with
him. Neither kindness nor threats are of any avail
with him ; he will do as he likes, and does not hesi-
tate to say so. Indeed he allows, to use his own ex-
pression, that he thinks the very devil is in him. He
knows his business very well, and is now of an age
to be exceedingly useful to his mister. But Mr.
Light stated, that no consideration could induce him
to take him again into his house, and had no hesita-
tion in saying that he thought his own life and that
of his family in danger, front the violence of the lad's
disposition. The obstinacy of the boy's disposition
was apparent in his countenance, which exhibited no
trait of feeling or kindness ; his very voice when he
spoke was a sort of harsh surly roar, and the few
tears that he shed on finding that he was no longer
to be uncontrouled, were evidently those cf anger,
rather than sorrow.—Mr. Alderman Buren, who had
attended on this very case, the presence of two Ma-
gistrates being requited, thought it wild be rather
too precipitate to discharge the indentures, as there
appeared no prospect for the lad, without friends and
with such a character, to procure another employ-
ment, and suggested the propriety of first trying the
effect of severity upon him, in which opinion ' Mr.
Aldermaa Cox coincided, and as an experiment the
boy was committed to the House of Correction, to be
kept to hard labour for one month. •
Ilnnoa•GAanEN.—Jarncs Hall, one of the Pad-
dington coachmen, yesterday appeared at this Office,
to answer to an information under the 50th of the
late King, charging him with furiously driving his
horses, by which the pole was broken, and the lives
of Mr. G. Grove, of Postern-row, Tower-hill, Mr.
C. Burford, and other persons, were endangered.—
The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr.HUMPURZYS,
who appeared for him, objected to the summons, on
the ground of an informality, but which the Magis-
trate over-ruled. Mr. G. Groves deposed, that having
occasion to go to the w est end of the town, he got on
the coach in questidn in the City-road. While wait-
ing at the Star Inn, four other coaches came up; and
on one, in particular, going away, the defendant said,
" I'll soon overtake him," and went off at full gallop.
He did pass him, and then slackened into a trot. On
coming to the Blue-coat Boy, the same coach again
passed them, and on the defendant getting on the
box he said, " D— that Jack, I'll cut his ear off,"
and again went off at a gallop. He overtook the:
coach near the end of Penton-street, and in endea-'
vouring to pass round the coach and to escape a
chaise coming up, the pole broke, and the horses
being unable to act as the defendant wished, they
were propelled against their will down Pentonville-
hill at full gallop, till they came very near Battle-
bridge. . During their progress, one of the passen-
gers dropped of the coach, being fearful of an acci-
dent ; the witness got down as soon as the coach
stopped, and having paid his fare, proceeded to where
he was going, not deeming it safe to go with the de-
fendant. Mr. Charles Burford fully corroborated the
statement of Mr. Groves as to the furious driving
from the Blue-coat Boy public-house to the place
where the coach stopped. Mr. HUMPliaEys objected
that the words " unavoidable accidents always ex-
cepted," contained in the Act of Parliament, had not
been negatived. This objection was also overruled
by the Magistrate, and the defendant convicted in
the penalty of £lO. A long discussion ensued as to
the question whether the defendant could be admit.'
ted to bail without paying the fine (a point still unde-
cided), which was stopped by a person becoming,
conjointly with the defendant, bound to lodge an ap-
peal at the Sessions. The Magistrate then said to
the defendautp "I recommend to you to tell your

trother whips, that the very strongest measures will
be adopted, to put a stop to their shameful conduct.
The conduct evinced on this road is disgraceful, and
the subject of complaint at all the Police Offices, and
must be put an end to. Whatever may be the opi-
nion of my decision elsewhere, those who travel that
road are well aware that more is merited than the

Act describes."
MARY-LA-BONNE Onriez.—Yesterday, Miss Anal
Davis, a female of very interesting manners and ap-
pearance, and a youth of dashing exterior, named
George Wood, were brought up in custody of William
Hewitt, the officer; the former charged with felony,
and the latter on suspicion of being an accessary to
the fact. Mrs. Ann Stephens, residing in Welbeck-
street, Cavendish-square, deposed that the female
prisoner took a suit of apartments in her house about
eighteen months since, and was always considered a
lady of highest respectability, till within the last
few days. A short time since, Mrs. Ann 'Thorne,
who also resided in hir house, whose husband was
steward to Lord Plymouth, in Grosvenor-square, left
London on a visit to her friends in' the country,
leaving her household furniture, wearing apparel, &c.
in the care of witness, who for safety locked the
linen, &c. in a closet in one of the apartments. On
Thursday last the female prisoner intimated to wit-
ness that it was her intention to leave her apartments,
as she was about to settle with the prisoner Wood,
who was also a tenant in witness's house, and wits
going to reside in Boston-street, Regent's-park. The
prisoner then took her leave, and left the house in
company with her intended husband. Next day wit-
ness found in the apartment of the female a pawn-
broker's duplicate of a quantity of French lace in
pledge for one pound. She, knowing that some fo-
reign
lace was in the closet amongst Mrs. Thorne's
property, instantly suspected that the lace pledged
was stolen flora the closet : she repaired to the pawn-
broker's and redeemed it, and found her suspicion
was true: she then examined the closet, and found
that a valuable silk shawl, several silk handkerchiefs,
shifts, &c. had been stolen therefrom. The descrip-
tion given by the pawnbroker who received the
pledge of the person, left no doubt in her mind that
the prisoner was the thief. Witness instantly went to
No. 3, Boston-street, Regent's-park, where the pri-
soners were living in grandeur, and passing as brother
and sister. On the female seeing witness, she in-
stantly confessed having perpetrated the robbery by
opening the closet.door with a false key, during her
absence on Thursday last, but declared the prisoner
Wood was not in the slightest degree implicated.—
Witness then searched a trunk belonging to the pi i-
soner,
.in which she found two silk handkerchiefs and
a chemise, the property of Mrs. Thorne ; also a du-
plicate of the shawl, pledged for 16s. at the shop of
Mr. Akers, pawnbroker, in Upper Mary-la-bonne-
street. Richard Ilingston, shopman to Mr. Akers,
produced the shawl, and identified the female pri-
soner as having pledged it in the name of Molyneux.
The shawl was identified as being the property of
Mrs. Thorne ; and the prisoner was fully committed
to Newgate to take her trial. There being no charge
against Wood, he was discharged. The unfortunate
gill was taken from the bar in great distress.
MARLBOROUGH- STREKT....YeSterday Richard Phil.
'lips, a boy about ten years of age, of very ragged
appearance, was brought up in the custody of Bart-
lett, the beadle, charged by Mr. Walker, bookseller,
of the Strand, with stealing a sovereign under the
most artful circumstances. Mr. Walker stated that,
yesterday morning, he was walking along Broad-
street, St. Giles's, and on releasing his hand from his
pocket it turned inside out, and fifteen sovereigns
contained therein fell on the. pavement. Several per-
sons assisted in picking them up, and restoring them
to him ; and he received the whole of them with the
exception of one. The prisoner, who had been stand-
ing by the whole of the time, was lurking off under
very suspicious circumstances, when some one said
he had the sovereign. He was secured; and on being
questioned he positively denied that Ire had it ; how-
ever, he was given into the custody of Bartlett, who
searched the whole of his dress, but found nothing.
The officer, conscious of there being other places
of concealment besides the pockets, determined' on
sear ching the prisOner's mouth, where, tinder the
tongue, he found the sovereign snugly concealed, and
the prisoner was forced against his. will to eonfess
that it could not have come there by its- own accord.
The beadle stated that the prisoner was a well-known
character, and had been in custody several times
before on charges of felony. The Magistrate, how-
ever, not feeling the case to be sufficient for a con-'
mitment, discharged the prisoner, assuring him that
if ever he were to be brought there again, he would
be severely treated.
Qtreeri-SQUARE.--Mr. Jackson, a respectable boot-
maker in Chelsea, 'obtained a warrant yesterday for
au outrageous .assault committed upon him by a man
of the name of Reed, and his son. On their appear-
•ance to answer the complaint, it appeared that the
younger Reed had been apprenticed to Mr. Jackson
by the Royal Military Asylum ; and that his proceed-
ings had been so bad while au apprentice, that his
master had him brought twice to this Office for mis-.
conduct. The assault originated in Mr. Jackson's
refusal to grant a proper certificate of the young
man's good conduct.while in his service, which would
have enabled him to get £5 from that Institution.—
The assault was clearly proved against both father
and son, and Mr. Jackson was bound over to prose-
cute them at the ensuing Sessions. Mr. WHITE
strongly animadverted upon their conduct, and trusted
that no consideration would induce Mr. Jackson to
refrainfrom prosecuting two individuals who had
been guilty of such an outrage to himself, and at-
tempting to obtain money unworthily from so excel-
lent a Charity.
Jane Connelly, the unfortunate woman who 'was
remanded on a former examination till to-day; for
robbing a man of 16s. was fully committed' for trial.
UNION-HALL.--A young Irishman, who has not
been long in this country, complained against a court
tryman of his, who had part of a room and a bed to
let, that the latter had acted in a very unkind and
ungentlemanlike way. The complainant said that
he lodged with the defendant about three months.—
He was out of employment :in this town, but he got
• a little job in the country, sand asked for his clothes,
which were worth about £5. The defendant refused
to give them up, and witness was obliged to go to
business without them. The,Magistrate asked what
complainant owed to his landlord? The-complainant
said he believed about 20s. The defendant said, the
