POLICE.

Bow-rntEar.—Saturday Joseph Parish, a water-
man, was brought to the Office, charged with a new
offence under the Act of Parliament for building and
regulating Waterloo Bridge, which enacts, that no
waterman shall ply for fares on the horse or foot-
path leading to Waterloo Bride, and that they shall
not exceed a certain space at the top of the stain on
each side of the bridge, an.d, as a caution to water-
men not to offend under the Ac; of Parliament, prin-
ted notices are posted up, signed by the Clerk of the
Company. The prisoner was convicted in the mid-
gated penalty of ten shillings ; but he, denying the
charge, pledged himself to appeal against the convic-
tion, and produced bail for that purpose.
Mr. Belkhamters, the husband of Mrs. Bedcham-
bers, who is singing at Vauxhall Gardens, was
charged before Mr. BIRIVIC with sending a threaten-
ing letter to Mr. Cord, the music master and corn-
poser, and was ordered to find bail to answer Mr.
Coni's complaint at the ensuing Sessions, to keep
the Peace.

MARL DOROLTGII-STREET.--D OG CA SE EXTRAORD
NARY.—Judgment in this rase, the particulars of
which appeared in our Paper of Friday last, was
given on Saturday by Mr. Justice Bunnouuns and
Mr. Justice DYER, in favour of the prosecutor, who
after commenting upon the evidence adduced by
each party, with great force and perspicuity, were
decidedly of opinion, that the prosecutor had proved,
in the most satisfactory manner, both the identity and
continued possession of the animal from its birth.—
The prosecutor's Solicitor waved the question of pe-
nalty upon Mr. Curtois's Solicitor undertaking to
pay all the costs.
MANSION HOUSE.—A case of some importance, as
it regards shipowners and Captains, was on Satur-
day heard before the LORD MAYOR. The Captain
and part owner of a large merchant vsssel lying in
the Thames, was a few days ago called upon by thel
other owner, Mr. N. a merchant at Wapping, to give
up the certificate of the registry of the ship, but he
refused, notwithstanding his being warned of the con-
sequences that would ensue. Mr. N. not being able
to prevail upon him, applied on Friday to the LORD
MAYOR for a warrant to apprehend the Captain. The
LORD MAYOR at first doubted whether he had the
power to grant one ; but upon reference to the sta-
tute of the 28th Geo. 111. c. 34, the following clause
appeared :—" If the Master of any vessel, who shall
have received the certificate of the registry thereof
(whether he be part owner or not), shall wilfully de-
tain and refuse to deliver up the same to the proper
officers, upon the owners, or the major part of them,
requiring him so to do, he may be apprehended, and
upon conviction before any Justice of the Peace, he
shall forfeit the sum of £lOO ; and in default of the
payment he shall be imprisoned in the common jail
fir a term not less than Si; months, nor more than
twelve."—The LORD MAYOR immediately granted
the warrant, and the Captain was brought before
him. He was for some time firm in his resistance of
the demand of the certificate, but at length, aware of
the very disagreeable consequences of a refusal, he
consented to give up the document required, and the
matter terminated.

of mankind is intended, it is with pleasure we can
inform our Readers, a Publication of importance will
shortly make its appearance from the Medical Board in Great

'rations on prevailing Diseases ; a publication emanating from
that Establishment no doubt will be read with avidity by those
who have been afflicted, and perhaps improperly_ treated by
perims unacquainted with an important branch of the pro-
fession ; it will also be useful to Students and young Practitioners.
