GUILDHALL.

A Mr. Walker appeared upon summons, at the instance of the
Parish Officers of Haddenham, in Buckinghamshire, to show cause
why be refused to reimburse them certain moneys which they had
granted in relief to a distressed son of his, who had become burden.
some to their parish. He was summoned under the statute of Eli-
zabeth, by which pe?sons are bound to prevent their relatives, within
certain degrees of consanguinity, from remaining burdensome to any
parish—provided they are able to maintain them, and provided
also, that the party to be relieved is " poor, old, blind, lame, impo-
tent, or not able to work." It appeared, however, that Mr.
Walker's son is not more than twenty-three years of age; that he
has siguandered a great deal of property, supplied to him by his
father; that he has married most improvidently, contrary to the
urgent remonstrances of his father ; that he is in good health, aid
that the Parish Officers of Haddenhans have never set him to work,
as they do other paupers, though they have been allowing him eight
shillings per week for more than three months past ; and under these
circumstances the Aldermen dismissed their complaint.

Mr. Charles Loud, a" stout Gentleman," with a very loud yoke,
who described himself to be " a mu dealer and mercantile man,
from Coleshill, in Wanoickskire," was brought before Sir Jona
Palmist:, charged with having driven away with a horse and gig,
the property of Mr. John Glover, so innkeeper in Warwick.
Mr. Glover was not in attendance, but it appeared by the cvi
deuce of a Mr. Horsey, that a solicitor in Warwick hired the
horse and gig from Glover, for the use of the stout Gentleman,
Mr. Loud. Tbe solicitor understood that his friend, the stout
Gentleman, intended to go to Colesbill only, about sixteen miles
porn Warwick, and knowing that the stout Gentleman was rather
eccentric in his habits, be sent a man with him to take care of the

gorse and gig, and return with them to Warwick. Accordingly, the
stout Gentleman and his superintendent set out together—the stout
Gentleman driving; but, when they got into the main London
road, near Stone-bridge, the stout Gentleman prevailed upon his
superintendent to alight, In order to ease the load up bill; and the
superintendent had no sooner alighted than the stout Gentleman bid
film good morning, and drove of at full speed towards London.—
The forlorn superintendent sent many unkind wishes after him,
and then walked back to Warwick, to relate what had happened to
his master, the solicitor, who forthwith wrote to his friend, Mr.
Honey, in London, and in consequence of his exertions, the horse
and gig were found at Gerard's Hall lon, Basinclane, where the
stout Gentleman had left them, with orders that they should be well
taken care of. Mr. Hursey, owever, obtained possession of them,
by indemnifying the proprietor of the Inn; and he now charged the

stout Gentleman with hiving stolen them.
The stout Gentleman in his defence said, " My name is Clink'
Loud, corn dealer and mercantile man, from Coieshill, in the count
of Warwick--or Warwickshire, whichever you please to call it ; and
I'm ready to answer for whatever I do—here, there, or anywhere
as is very well known to everybody. I got the horse and chaise
from the lawyer at Warwick, because the lawyer at Wart
wick owed me money, which I couldn't get from him b
kook, and so I determined to get it by crook; for I know enough of
the law to know that I can't arrest a lawyer—the more's, the pity
I say. I made up my mind to come off with the horse and chaise{
and I said to the fellow, the lawyer sent with me, says If you
don't get out of the chaise, I'll chuck you out, neck and crop !' but
he wouldn't—he only laughed at me ! So when we got to s bit of
a bill t'other side Stone-bridge, I groonson'd him to get out, by way
of easing the honie up the hill you see, and away I came—jnd that's
all about it; hut as for that chap thtre— Mr. What's-his.name (Mr.
Horsey), as talks of charging me with horse-stealing, I'll pull him up
fur it, as sure as my name's Charles Loud."
Sir dons PERRINO now called Mr. Ilursey to him, and after

some private conversation between them, the stout gentleman was
discharged ; and he went away vowing vengeance against " all
lawyers and their abettors."

MARLBOROUGU-STRRET.

One George Nelson, a man of nototiously bad character, was
brought kefore Sir G. PASSAU/ yesterday, charged with having
stolen a box-coat from the hind seat of a phaeton, belonging to
Thomas Harman, Esq. on Wednesday night.
The prisoner was seen by a footman to the Solicitor-General, and
another person, taking the coat. They immediately stopped him ;
but he threw the coat down, and made a desperate resistance; and
it was not till he had inflicted sundry bruises upon the constables,
and given the Solicitor• General's footman a terrible black eye, that
be was taken into custody. He was immediately taken before
Sir George Farrant, who committed him for re-examination yester-
day. In the mean time his lodgings in Newport-street were
searched, and filly-six duplicates of gold and silver watches, gold
seals and rings, &c. were found. From information the officers re-
ceived, they went to the lodgings of the prisoner's brother, in
Rupert-street, and there found three or four deal boxes (one of
which cont.,ined models of horses' feet, broken to pieces) and three
leather portmanteaus, with the locks broken eff.

No owners having been found for any of these articles, the pri-
soner was committed to the House of Correction for the present;
and Sarah Green, a woman with whom be cohabited, was put to
the bar. This woman, when she learned that her paramour was in
custody, removed the trunks, &c. from their own lodgings to those
of the prisoner's brother, where they were found.
A great many questions were put to her by Sir Giotto' FA muter,
with a view of eliciting from her how the prisoner Nelson became
possessed of the property, but she obstinately evaded answering
such questions.—She was remanded for further examination on
Friday next. _ _

A number of pawnbrokers were in attendance to identify tbe
prisoner, if possible, but they were not examined.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—The following painful
event occurred at. the village of Pudsey, near Leeds, on
Tuesday evening last. Mr. Joseph Blackburn, a re-
spectable cloth manufacturer, had been in Leeds Market,
and walked home late in the afternoon, and proceeded
to the house of Mr. Thomas Carlisle, at Pudsey, to
whose daughter, a lady possessing great personal at-
tractions, and very highly accomplished, Mr. Black-
burn had for some time been paying his addresses.
The family had retired to rest ; but being anxious to
communicate with Miss C. he got upon the ledge of
one of the lower windows under her apartment, and
succeeded in inducing her to speak to him. The young
Lady, however, became so alarmed, lest her parents
should be disturbed, particularly as her father was in-
disposed to sanction Mr. B:s emotion, that she en-
treated him to leave the window, as, if he was discover-
ed, her father would kill him; but he delayed obeying
the injunction, and Miss C. became so agitated, that
she wept aloud, and startled her sister, who slept in the
same room with her. The latter, not receiving a satis-
factory explanation of the noise, flew to her father's
chamber, and called out, that the house was attacked by
robbers. The old man seized a sword, and rushirg
towards the lower window, against which the moon
threw a distinct shadow of Mr. B:s person, darted the
weapon through one of the panes of glass, and into the
abdomen of the unfortunate Gentleman. The wound,
from the first, endangered Mr. Blackburn's life; he
was able, however, to walk to his brother's house,
distance of 500 yards, though bleeding profusely. When
he got to the house, he exclaimed, •" Let me in, I am a
murdered man." His tr•:us-r, stockings, and shoes,
were then found soaked with Ll rod, and he himself
almost completely exhausted. A surgeon was sent for,
who dressed the wound. Meanwhile, the constables
sent an express to the Rein rend J. A. Rhodes,
for instructions, and he instantly proceeded to the
spot, when he found Ar. Carlisle in custody.—
The depositions of Miss Carlisle, her sister, and brother,
were taken, and the old man was heard in explanation
of his conduct. Mr. C. afterwards went to see Mr.
Blackburn, and expressed the deepest regret for what
had taken place. Late next night he remained in cus-
tody, and at that time the inflammation arising from
Mr. Blackburn's wound was rapidly increa,ing, and
threatening a fatal termination to the unfortunate
sufferer. Mr. Blackburn is upwards of six feet in height,
and in person anclappearance one of the finest men in
that part of Yorkshire. Miss Carlisle, about 18 months
back, kept, in partnership with Miss Laird, a boarding
school in that town, and has been always highly re-
spected.
