BOW-STREET.

mentioned in the information. - _

Mr. John Sidney Taylor said, that he appeared as Counsel kr
Mr. Kent. He stated an behalf of his client, that the house was
what Is called a watering house, for the hackney coach stand, in the
Strand, and it was also an office for the purpose of booking passen-
gers for a coach, Which conveyed passengets front London to Green.
wich, which started from the metropolis between twelve and one
o'clock, every night, while the Theatres were open.
Two Gentlemen were called for the defence who deposed, that
the house of the defendant was used by travellers, also by Gentle-
men connected with the press, and by Gentlemen of the theatrical
profession.
Sr IL Brame said, that the Legislature never contemplated the
closing of a house of this description, which was not only well con-
ducted, but was a travellers house. He, therefore, dismissed the
information.

The Ake was crowded, and the loudest applause followed the
decides' of the worthy Magistrate.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The two Stewards of the Benevolent Society of Carvers and
Gliders, held at the Coach and Horses, in Little Compton-street,
were summoned by John Forster, a member of this Society for
thirty years, for striking him off the hooks, and refusing him relief.
Mr. Harmer attended for the Club, and read a clause from one
of the articles, stating, that if any member should be seen gaming,
or found at work while on the sick list of the Society, that should
be considered an imposition sufficient to warrant excluding the
offending men. He should prove that the complainant had been
found working at his trade, which would complete his case. The
Society had been enrolled, and the articles had not been altered
since. There was no arbitration clause. _ _

One of the Stewards stated, that having received infoimation that
the complainant had imposed on the Society on former occasions,
be, on the 25th of last month, when he was visiter, went to Mr.
Forster's rather suddenly, and found him with a brush in his
hand, and a pan, doing some process to a frame on the bench
before him. Favor, hearing the witness behind him, turned
round and said, "Oh I" and laid the brush down. Witness
replied, "that is quite sullicient. I see what you are at," and left
the rose. Mr. Forster was summoned before Ow Committee, who
decided on his exclusion. _ - -

Mr. Forster very shrewdly crosswzarnined the last witness, who
admitted that be was a tailor, and not cognizant of the process of
gilding; be user* saw his hand going backwards and forwards as
V pirating; that be had been told the complainant followed his trade
while on the siek.list, and said he would find him out if he could.
The vieithig days were Meader, but sometimes be went on
Wednesdays.
Mr. Marshall, a carver and gilder and member of the club, was
called to prove the nature of the business. He saw the frame the
complainant had been employed on ;it was of the kit-cat size, and
at the time Mr. Forster was complained of, was undergoing the first
proems—what of discharging the gold, previous to regilding, which
might *take an hour or a day. On one occasion when he visited, a
child at the door gave the signal of his approach, by calling out
" Father;" and when he went into the room the complainant was
seated in a chair.

Mr. Forster said his wife and apprentice could work at the business
as well as himself, and that at the ame the steward spoke of, he was
merely giving instructions to his wife as to what had best be done.
Sir GIORGI Fikaitaus said his view of the affair was, that the
member must be proved to be actually at work. He knew of 'two
eases in which members had been excluded improperly; one Was a
carpenter, whose chair had wade a hole in a rotten board, and for
being found in the act of mending it had been excluded ; the other
was that of a tailor, who was found repairing the sleeve of his own
cost. The steward in this instance pops in his head, says " That's
enough for me," and reports the complainant to the society. It was
like a man who provokes another, and says, "Ah now you've
struck me," and gets a warrant.
Mr. Harmer, on the pan of the Society, consented to withdraw
the exclusion at the end of two months from the time of Mr.
Forster's susperision.

coming within about twenty yards of him, disguised themselves in
each others clothes, and thus attired, to prevent recognition, three
of them went after the Captain, and the other three concealed
themselves in the grass. The three that went in pursuit, on coming
up to the old Gentleman, surrounded him, two of them held him,
