MARLBOROUG H-STREET.

On Saturday, Mau Gibson, the driver of the hackney, No. 1,134,
appeared on a summons, to answer the complaint of the Rev.
George Musgrave, the hector of 111ary-la-bonne parish.
Mr. Musgrave deposed, that on the 7th inst. he was called to
visit a sick child in Cleveland-street. On leaving his house, he took
the defendant's coach, and desired him to drive to a certain number
in the •above street, but on his arrival he was placed down at the
opposite end. ().t the mistake being made, he asked the defendant,
how be came to forget the number ? on which the defendant, with-
out having another word said to him, began to make use of the
most disgusting language be had ever heard. On begging of him
not to use such offensive terms, the defendant put his Sit in his
lace, and, if possible, used snore infamous language, drawing thereby
round him upwards of 40 persons, before whom he repeated his
former indelicate observations, about complainant and the Estab-
lished
Church. Having made his escape from the defendant and
the mob, he considered he was only doing a public good in bringing
the offender to justice. . _

Mr. Dres complimented the Reverend complainant for bringing
such a character before him, for hackney coachmen were, without
exception, the greatest nuisance that a person in London was likely
to meet with ; then, towing to the fellow, he asked him what be
had to say ?
The fellow, who was as mild before the worthy Magistrate u
be bad ,been insulting to the complainant, said be was irritated
at the moment, and hoped that the worthy Magistrate would look
over it.

Mr. Musgrave—.Your language was most infamous, and tended
to lower me in the minds of my parishioners, several of whom
were present.
The master of the defendant here stepped forward, and gave him
a good character for several years past.
Mr. Dr sa—This Is the grossest case that ever came before me as
a Magistrate. I shall, as a caution to the whole body of them, in-
flict the penalty of 101. and if not paid, I will commit him to the
House of 'Correction for three months.

The fellow here supplicated the complainant for mercy.
After some further supplications, the worthy Magistrate said,
that in consequence of his previous good character, and the peni-
tence he now sheeted, he would only hne him SOs. This the de-
fendant said he could not pay, and in default, he was committed to
the House of Correction for one moods to hard labour.
UNION-HALL,. •
Tire FITCHAW Mutinees.—lii the course of Saturday, a Gentle-
man, who sent in his card to the Magistrates, with the name and
address of the Proprietor of The Fareser's &Wee written upon it,
requested to have an interview, for the purpose of suggesting a
method to discover whether Mary Ayres was at Weyhill fair. He
observed, that he had attended the fair in question on the last occa-
sion,and that some circumstances occurred there during the time that
every person who was en the spot must be aware sE Now he wished
either to put certain questions to the woman herself on the subject
alluded to, which would at once discover the truth of her assertiont
or if any objection was made to his proposition, he should most
happily write •down the extraordinary occurrences that took place
at Weybill; and added, that some other persons might examine her
ea the points.
tide. Coalmen thanked the Gentleman, and remarked, that as
no examination would take place that day, if he would commit the
facts to paper, so the next day she was brought up, bib suggestions
should be attended to.

The Gentleman ha•inj complied with the ldegistrue's re rut,
departed from the office.
