RIOUT TO THE TITLE 01 " ESQUIRE."
A young man, of the name of Duke, appeared to
justify bail for af4l.
Mr. Serjeant Barr—What are you t—Duke—A
householder.—Mr. Serjeant BRIT-But whi.t are you I
Duke—Whitertn. to Chel.e4 College.
Mr. Serjeant BEs.r —My Lord, I submit then, that
the description is not correct; he is described" Esq."'
"Duke—l hold a situation in the army pay-office.
Mr. Serjeant Best —Are you styled " Esquire" in
your commission ?—Duke—l believe so.
Mr. Serjeant Bear—Will you swear to it t—Duke.
No; but I believe I am.
Mr. Serjeant Bear—Do you not know that you are
styled " Gentleman r —Duke—No, I do not.
Mr. Justice DALLAS:—You cannot object to the
description, brother Best. Although a Lieutenant in
the Army is bet " Gentleman." and a Captain
" Esquire," you have no ground in the present in-
stance for objecting to the this of " Esquire."
Mr. Serjeant Beer.—My Lord, there are many in-
stances on record of persons rejected on'grounds of
this kind.
Mr. Justice DALLAS.—No doubt of it ; but this is
not like one of them. You find Small rejected ; but
he was styled &quire, and turned out on inquiry to
be a halm I—Dukv—My lather is a Colonel.
Mr. Serjeant lirs.r.—That entitles your father to
be Esquire, but does not entitle you.
Mr. Justice him, for it is no
objection.
Mt. Serjeant BEiT.—Were you ever bail before ?
Dukeo—Yes, last year, for £lOO.
Serjeant Barr.—Was thet the only time ?—Yes.
Mr. Serjeant Brisr.—Are you worth reSC, after all
your debts are paid t--Duke--I am in the receipt
of 4600 a year from Chelsea College, and also a-
year from the Army Pay Office. Duke's bail was
then accepted.

Bow-staler.—lt having been said that some of
the officers belonging to tlle Mansion House hid in
their possession bills and notes to the amount of se
veral hundred pounds, which were foundupon felons
capitally convicted, and which were the limpetty of
the Sheriffs, an investigation is taking place at all the
Offices. On Tuesday one of the Sheriffs went to
Hatton-garden Office for that purpose. Yesterday
Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, attended at the
above office for a similar purpose; he stated, that he
did not attend with any thing in the shape of a charge
against any officer or parole belonging to the office,
but merely for the investigation of two cases respect-
ing two of the petiole; they being in attendance,
Mr Bunts sent for them, and the business was eta-
mined in the public office. One of the cases was that
of Mr. Castle, cheesemonger, in Broad-court, whose
shoveling was capitally convicted for stealing his box
of noses. ice. and upon whom a watch was found,
which the parole stated he gave to Mr. Castle and
be retained it, as it was supposed to have been pur-
chased or taken out of pledge with his money. Mr.
Castle was seat hi, and he admitted this to be cot.
met. Mr. Brown tola him the Sheriff would not
ask him for the watch under the circumstances. The
other ease was that of a man of the name of Jading
who was capitally convicted, upon whom. Mr. Brown
stated, were found a pencil ease, a handkerchief. and
a lode. The patrole who had him in custody denied
seefega pencil case—the handkerchief he gave to
the prisonees father—the knife he retained as an im•
proper Instrument for him to be intrusted .wish. The
Magistrate said he bad acted perfectly agreeable to
the genteel orders of the office, which are to deprive
prisoners of knives, razors, scissars, or any deadly
instrument. Mr. Brown exinessed himself perfectly
satisfied, and again repeated, that be did not attend
with a charge against any person, but merely wishing
for an investigation. The prisoners bad given the
samillaceount of the transactions as the patrole did.

lay of the said Thhatre into the pit a large glass
bottle, which fell on, and cut often a Gentleman's
head, who was seated in the pit with his family. It
appeared that on Tuesday evening the prisoner's
' husband left his home and went to the Theatre, after
quarrelling with her; she followed him shortly alter,
and went to the gallery, where he was sitting is the
back seat between two females ; his hat was at his
back with the bottle tying in it, she took the bottle
and was in tile act of going to strike her husband,.
when it flew from her band and fell mi a Gentle-
man's head in the pit, which it cut open. The latter
was removed from the Theatre in a dreadful condi-
tion to a surgeon's is the neighbourhood, who dressed
his wounds, and be was conveyed home instantly in
a dangerous situation. The Manager and some of
the Performers addressed the audience, and offered
reward as an inducement to apprehend the patty or
patties concerned iodic act. Some persons in the
gallery who witnessed the transaction, pointed out the
prisoner, and Mr. Vickers proceeding to the gallery,
the prisoner confessed it, and the constable took her
to the watch-house. The constable stated that the
Gentleman who received the injury expressed an un-
willingness to prosecute the pnsoner on account of
her sex and hotly, and Ibe prisoner's extreme coo-
trition for the commission of the act. Mr. Vickers
ioncurred, but requested that a public apology in the
newspapers should be made, which the prisoner pro-
mised to fulfil, and was much affected. The Magi,-
trete Mid it was a most disgraceful transaction, the
prisoner deserved to be punished to the utmost extent
of tbs law, and it would be no more than proper as
an eiamPle that either the Gentleman or Mr. Vickers
should prosecute her. He should, at all events, order
het to ind bail.
