13,1 A RY.LA-BON NE.

Yesterday, flick, the engine-keeper of Mary-la-bontte Parish,
was again charged at this Office with gross neglect of duty, while
attending at a fire in Wigmore.street, Cavendish-square, and
making use of extremely violent and insulting language to several
individuals who called upon him to perform his duty.
ft appeared that after the alarm was given at the manufactory
of Messrs. Harwood and Olive', in Harley-mews, the engineer
was in attendance. and though there was plenty of water, he refused
for some time to play the engine, though earnestly requested by se.
veral inhabitants whose premises would have been endangered had
the tames spread. And not only neglect of duty was alleged, but
gross nsisconduet•and abuse. Alick is the same fireman who was
charged on the preceding day with having forced himself into
a drawing-room full of company, alleging that there was a fire
In the house.

The Magistrate severely censured the conduct of the fireman,
and, as on the former occasion, recommended the Gentleman to
lay the case before the Vestry.
UNION. HALL
Jahn Goulsicerilty, an Ivory polisher, in the employment of Mr.
Lacy, was charmed with having obtained money by false pretences,
and also with robbing his master of a quantity of ivory.—On Satur-
day night the prisoner. gave a note to a boy, whom he met in the
street, and directed him to take it to Mr. Rees, of the Mitre, sank-
side. The note was signed by a tradesman named White, and
requested the loan of 51. or 61. for half an hour. Mr. Rees, how-
ever, knew it to be a forgery, and he gave the boy into custody.
The boy then said he had been directed to take the note by a man
whom he had met in the street, and upon taking the officer to the
place where he appoiutrd to meet him, there the prisoner was
found and secured.—A similar charge was preferred by Mr. Per-
cival, a soap-bbiler, of Green-street, Blackfriars, who said that a
man resembling the prisons', called at his house on Christmas•eve,
and handed him one of 11r. Lacy's cards, on which was written,
" Mr. Percival—Do me the kindness by letting the bearer have
lg.?. for me, as I am short of cash, and have nothing but tool. bills
in the holm.. I wish to settle with my men before I come out.
If you will oblige sue, I will call upon you in an hour or two.
.. J. LACY."

Mr. Lacy said the letter was not in his hand-writing, and that
he had never directed the prisoner to call on Mr. Percival and
,borrow money. It also appeared, that upon searching his Jodgiuks,
a quantity of ivory articles were found, which were identified by
Mr. Lacy, who said he believed they had been stolen by tlpe pu-
saner. Several mites were also found, with different signatures
attached to• them.—The prisoner was committed on the charge of
having rubbed his employer.

There are persons going about purchasing the notes
of country bankers; and in order to obtain such notes
at a low value, they throw out hints of a most dan-
gerous tendency, as to the credit of very respectable
firms. Country people should be particularly on their
guard against such dealers in notes.
GIN.—By the market price, gin does not appear to
be reduced more than one shilling per gallon, but, as
the imperial measure has increased the gallon in size
about one-fifth ;in effect the price is reduced about
Ss. 6d. per gallon.
