MATOR addressed him and expressed a hope that Bess Begs were
not to be for ever silent.

Mr. Hicks did not consider that there was any reason for the ex-
treme alarm which had been excited on the subject. They were
certainly stopped for the present, but he hoped; as soon as the re-
-11 pairs were completed, they would again gladden the limns of his
bellow citizen,. He paid considerable attention to steeples, and be
believed that Bow Church steeple was one of the best in the City.
It was now under the consideration of their able architect, and of
another Gentleman of high eminence to re.hang the bells in such a
manner as would prevent their operating injuriously to the steeple.
The Loss MAYOS exhotted Mr. Hicks, as one of the represen-
tatives of the parish, not to be afraid to ring the hells, whatever any
architect, however able or ingenious, might say upon the subject.—
'lle more able them Gentlemen were, the greater was the ingenuity
they often displayed in detecting danger in edifices whlala had stood
well, and would continue to stand well for years.
BOW-STREET.

A fat little elderly man teamed Ryder, a harness maker at Dock-
head, appeared before Sir RICHARD BIRRIR yesterday, and requested
his Worship to grant him a warrant against Mr. Webb, the resident
Director of the " London Brick Company" in Lancaster-place,
Waterloo Bridge.
Here Mr. Ryder stopped, and Sir Rieman Bums asked what
offence Mr. Webb kad committed ?

Why, your Worship. said Mr. Ryder, a long time ago I sold to
the London Brick Company some second land harness, for which
they owe me 71. 15s. 4d. and I can't grt the money from them. It's
'very hard, for I've got amongst a great many lately;
and it was not my own fault altogether in this case, fora neighbour
of mine recommended Mr. Pritchard, their agent, to me.
Sir Ricua RD Baum asked him where he had made application
for his money?
He said be had been to their brick-field at Peckham almost every
day since, but it was of no use ping there any more, for there were
eight brickmakers and a lawyer always in- tho 4e1c1,. and whenever
he went to ask for his money, the brickmakers only bowed, and
brought the lawyer to hint.—(Here Mr. Ryder laughed, and so did
everybody rise).
Sir Menem) asked him why he did not take poesesdon of his
harness again ?
Ryder—l can't, your Worship, for the barman Is always on the
horses. and the horses are always in the clay-mill, and the brick-
makers and the lawyer are always in the field!
Sir RiCISA RD smiled, and told the applicant he could give him no

- Ryder—Have I your Worship's authority to go and fight with
them for it? Because, if I have your permission, I will soon /ow
the whole squad the next time I go there.
The simplicity with which this was said made every body keel
Win ; and
Sir RICIMILII told him that it was his duty to prevent breaches of
the peace, and not sanction them. He then told Mr. Ryder that be
must bring his action against the N Company ;" and he left the Ace
saying' be would see what be could do with them."

of their interests, under the following circumstances I

mises, which at the dme were occupied by a tenant at will. The
terms agreed upon were satisfactory to all parties, and a regular
notice was served on the occupier to give up pawed= within six
months. Previously, however, the Company offered him 101. to
facilitate his removal. This be gratefully accepted ; bet no the day
of his departure arriving. and a tender of the money being made,
he refused to suit until the sent was raised to 201. This, of course,
they refused; and, said Mr. Hall, no objection to hisranovel,noe
demand for as increased gratuity would have beim made, seers 11
not for the ancalled-for interference of a Mr. Pitt, who had lately

very decent-looking female.
The complainant's face was dreadfully disiguredvio consequesee

The Magistrate would net listen to any compromise, observing,
that it was as brutal a cue of assault as ever came before him, and
although the defendant was intoxicated when ha committed it, yet
that fact did not 'statute his offence, but greatly aggravated
The wife should be protected against the brutality of such a fallow
as she had unfortunately got for a husband, and, for this purpose
he should procure good bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.
The wife was very loath to part with the defendant, although
treated so shamefully by him, and implored the Magistrate to
discharge him. The application for his liberation war, however, re.
jetted, and the defendant was committed to gaol for want of sureties.
QUERICSQUA RE

ESTRAORDDIAIT COMMIS OT Footer.—Yesterday, the following
extraordinary ease occupied the attention of W. A. A. Warts, Es*
the sitting Magistrate, nearly the whole morning.
Two respectable young men, named Mathews and Taiga. Gentler
men's servants out of place, the ftsrmar lately in the employ of
Right Hon. George Canning, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, we
charged with stealing Nth. of cheese; also 6s. 6d. the balance of
half sovereign, the property of O Mn George Harris, a chee
monger, in King-strect, Westminster, under these circumstances:
It appeared, from the evidence of Samuel Stokes, a shop-boy
Mr. Harris, that on Saturday evening, about half-past nine o'd
the accused. Mathews, ante to his master's house, aid said to
(vricstess) that the cheese which had been previously ordered It

Garter publie-hoitse, wbe,e he polniidotti Mathews franc a number
as the person. The dress he ewe Wok thrown koliatrl jacket and
white stockings: he also-had a bat est.'
Mathews was now called on to soma the charge. Your Woo,
ship, I have very little to say, I am Innocent of the accusation, and
know no snore about it than a child tuatara. The fart is, When I
was spoken to last night on the *hint, Mr. Harris then oared to
arrange the matter if I would pay for the cheese and return thi
change, which I most certainly refused, and told them I could larlag
witnesses to prove I wis elsewhere. I gave the constabke my ad:
dreµ and be let me go at that time.
Rhodes, the constable, stated that he went into the public bottle
with the boy, who pointed out Mathews among a number. He
called Jahn out, when be was accused of the robbery, hut he denied
it. The accused then gave his address, and he set him at liilerry.
About eleven o'clock the same evening. in consequence of the other
accused man, Talbot, abusing Mrs. Harris, witness aid her bus.
band went to a pshlic.hoese, and took both into custody.
Mr. Wares—Then you let a man go about his business at half.
past nine o'clock, and because another person abuses Mrs. Harris
you think proper to take both tato custody at eleven ; surely the
crime could not be greater than the first. Tor seem w kuow very
little of your business as a constable.

Rhodes—l certainly acted from ignorance.
Henry Alerrit, servant to Lk. Shiner, of No. IE, Guildford-
street, stated, about twenty minutes past nine o'clock on Saturday
night Mathews came to his master's house, and asked for a lotion
for the Right Hoe. George Canning; there being no person pre-
sent who could make the medicine up, be cony/wised with him, as
did also his fellow-servant. for about ten minutes, When witness told
him to return home, and he would bring -be lotion as soon as pos-
sible. The dress that Mathews wore was white stockings and a
cap, but be could not speak to the jacket. Mathews had repeatedly
been to their house for medicine.

Robert Clark, clerk to a solicitor, uw Mathews about ten o'clock,
at his brother's house in Charles-street; he requested him to in-
form his brother, a footman to the Right Hon. Gentleman. and %vim
had sent him for the medicine, that it would be sent very soon.
Mathews wore the dress ha now appeared in.
Stokes, the boy, was repeatedly called, and cautioned if ha was
positive of the person of Mathews, and strongly insisted he was
the same man.

The Steward to Mr. Canning said that Mathews had been In the
Man. Gentleman's service for above &to years and a half; he Will
a job coachman, and repeatedly employed to go to Mr. Shuter'sfee
medicine, when wanted. The Right Hon. Gentleman left tows
on Sunday, and therefore the job horses were not required.
Mr. Wisrut-4 am inclined to think the boy I. quite mistakenia
the person of Mathews; but the lad positively swears to him, there-
fore it is my duty, Mathews, to hold you in sureties to be foethcoas-
ing should any charge be preferred against you at the Ses.ions.
Two persons instantly became responsible, and he seas set at
liberty. With respect to Talbot these was no charge whatever.

Yesterday, a Miss Harriet Wifsow, a young woman about 19 years
d age, was brought up for final "lamination on charges of robbing
a number of children, boys and girls, of property belonging to their
parents, and was fullytomnaitted.

THAMES POLICE.
Aka Thirst, Captain of the schooner Hill. appeared to answer to
a summons founded on an information of Thomas Simpsey,
skew cause why he did, on the 2d of July last, refuse to receive on
board his vessel John Pentin, a licensed pilot, contrary to the Mb
seed= of Geo. IV. cap. 125.
The Solicitor of the Trinity House attended to support the in.
formation. He addressed the Bench, and said, that ender the 77th
section of the Act, be claimed that the defendant might be con-
victed in a penalty double the amount of what the pilot's legal fees
were; provided he should be able to pro* his case. He thee called
James Pekin, who stated, that on the 2d of July last, be saw
the schooner Hill going down the river under sail. She was pro•
ceeding on her voyage. He went on board, and asked him where
he was going to. He said to Hamburgh, and was laden with mer-
chandise. He offered to take him down the river. His reply was,
that he was competent to navigate Ids own ship. He at the elate
dine had an unlearned pilot on board.
Mr. Bottmerniz asked him what he did when the Captain re-
fused to permit him to pilot the vessel?
The Pilot said, he immediately came on shire, and in doing so,
4 took her depth, which was about fie feet, and Wirers on piloting
her would have been se7 10s. 4id.
Mr. BALLAWANZ said, he should be glad to hear any defence that
could be made for the defendant.

The owners of the vessel appeared, and stated that they relied on
the 59th section of the Act, whereby it empowers all British vessels
•having a British register to trade inwards and outwards without a
pilot, provided they are constant traders from the poets between
Boulogne, inclusive, and the Baltic, whilit within the limits of the
ports to which they belong. After much discussion, and on referrieg
to the several clovers of the Act,
Mr. BAUAlffilllt was of opinion, that while trading inwards the
Act applied, but outwards, as was the case in the present instance,
it precluded them from the benefit of that clause under which they
sought relief... Gamely, the 59th section.
The Soho:hoe for the Trinity House stated that he took the opi-
nions of the Attorney General and Mr..Berjeant Bosanquet upon
the question, sod lie should juet trouble the bench with reading their
opinions to the following query Whether vessels belonging to
the port of Loudon fall within •the exemption given by the St i►
section of the sth of George IV. whilst they are within the hairs
of that port?"
' "We are of opinion that vessels belonging to the port of London,
are excluded from the exemption given by the 59th section of the
4th of George IV. whilst they are within the limits of that pun.
(Signed) " J. S. COPLEY.
" Sergeant's be, July 5." " J. B. BOSH NQUICT:'
Mr. Bau4seruni perfectly concurred in the opinions given by the
Attorney General and Mr. Bosanquet, and therefore irk it his duty
to beim t►e penalty ander the 77th section of the Act, that is, of
double the legal fees which the Pilot would have been entitled to:
be therefure convicted the Captain lu the penalty of 151. 9d. being
double the amount of the Pilot's fees, at the same time deducting
40s. for the coats from the penalty. The owners said, they would
appeal from the decision.
