wise with gross abuse. Colonel Powers stated, that he took the

fendant to set him down at the end of Orchard-street, °afore!.
street; on doing which he (the Colonel) off.-red a shilling, but
he 'demanded eighteetoperce. The &stance being no more than
a mile, be gave him hia demand, threatening-to summon him
for the exaction, 'when. the defendsre poured a volley of abtoe
upon him, and said the Colonel wanted to rob him, and %woad
hang him for five shillings, and he supra-sod he was one of Lcrtt
, Cestlereagh's mtn.—The yrisor.er confessed the abuse, aed
pressed great contritioe. 'The extra demand, be said, arose frcrrt
a mistaken idea of the length of grotnch He apologised to tee
Colonel, who said, that he pursued the present steps for the ere-
tection of the I'i:bile; he thought hint a proper person for ee-
ample, but left it entirely to the decision of the Magistrate.--"
Mr. DIAIIMARING remarked; that the abuse and exaction of
hackney-coachmen, above ail others, deserved punishment, ane.,
although .the Colonel -had a desire to be lenient, he could set
peas it over without a conviction.—lle was convicted io ti ;

highest Penalty attached, to a case as abeve.

GUILDHALL—A curious discovety was developed yesterday
befdre the • sitting Magistrate '(Ble.-Alderman Senoort), tied
which mafin some measure account for the meagre sort of Part
wine our Ileadees have probahly'met with on their travels is
the country. Mr. and :tiro Walker,'a middle-aged sisals, -who
keeiotheWageon-yard in Giltspnr-street, the sign of the Green
Dragon, were alarmed between three-and her o'clock yesterday
mooting by a noises in the yardo "which' they 'conceived to be
occasiosted by thieves breaking Into one of their:icehouses.; Mr.
Walker accordingly resolved to get up- and_ ascertain the fact;
his wife too (aroinstatice of heroism and conjugal affection Wink'
thy of anoieet times) determined to.share the danger of the en.
teeprise, nod they hob 3allitA.forth te-ether, the Lady, with a
candle in her hendejeeding the van. Upon operiog the door of a
warehouse in which --ere stored- two pipes of Port wine, de-
stined to proceed by weg en to the ceantry the same day, they
perceived their own AJlt," hos:ter, stationed doge to the cesOs
with a lomp.iiehis.iseudees Lich he blew out on hearing the door
opened ; but seeing-his mistress bad a light, he said immediately,
in a very innocent tone of voice, " Loan bless me, I've put toy
light out !" Mc. Walker theroatleauced from the rear to recon-
noitre the place, and discovered close by the side of his trusty
servant a pail with nearly two gallons of water in it, and a tin
machine floating in it, adeairably well contrived for withelrawine
the wine from the cos.:, and nitro:hi:Mg the water in its piece;
a gimlet also for making the necese.ry perforation to introduce
the tube of the machine, which might be celled a 'pocket wine- I
lynch, was found near the spot. Although so well prepared for
r action, it turned out, on an examination of the casks, that the
hostler had not commenced his nefarious operations. t:iierr
such, suspicious civet:instances, his master hesitated not to 6har;e
him with the intention. '1 his the hostler denied, but after
same time confessed that there bud been somethiag wrong going
on in the premises for a length of time, 'hut refused to say olio
were the guilty parties.. Worrell, the officer, was sent for, who,
after lodging his prieoner in the Compter, proceeded to search
his apartments in Chick-lane, where he found several bottles
with gin, brandy, rum, ar.d wine in them, the probable prodere
of some previous operations of the aforesaid lynch. • Worrell
pressed hint to discover all he knew of these sorts of robberies,
but he strenuously refused, and declared " be would not split."
When brought before the Megistrate, the hostler boldly &M. d
any intention of taking the wine, and all knowledge of the pail,
the water, or the lynch; asserting also, that the liquor found at
his lodgings he hatthonestly'hought Ittd paid for. He accounted
for his being in the warehouse at that hoar by saying the yard-
bell had been rung, and he was obliged to get up, and to go
the warehouse to get to the stables.—He was remanded.
