Mat-isms-Woo se.—On Mnndaya Hackney Coach-
man, belonging to No. 83. was foromoned before the
LORD MAYOR, charged with cruelly beating and ill-
treating one of his honks. It appeared on the evi-
dent. • of three relpetahle Gentlemen who came for-
ward, from motives of humanity, that one of the
hurfes fell down, on which the defendant jumped
from off the coach-boc, and began to flog the puor
animal moll unmercifully, and, not giving him time
to get up, he dragged him along with the other
boric which was to the coach. On being fpnken to
,n) the impropriety of his brntal behaviour, he clench-
ed his flit at one of the Gentlemen, and tiled very
improper language, aliedging at the fame time that
the horlis were and that he would tilt them
iis he pleated; and if he ran sae of them through,
what iras it to any other petfon, as he mull be the
Infer? On being raked by the Lnan MAYOR what
he had to fay for himlClf? hear fwered that the horfe
was lame and very flubbotn, and that he flogged
him to get up. On which the Loan MAYOR gave
him a very levere reprimand, telling him at the lame
tme, that his defence was rather an aggravation of
his crime. As the poor animal was lame, and per-
haps otherwife unwell, he Ihould have been tliffered
to rife without being installed in that brmal manner
for a fault he could not help, merely becanie he was
lame. His Lot dlhip looked over the Aft of Parlia-
ment, and was going to fine him 4c.r. but taking his
family into confider:llion (he having a wile and four
chsitlren) after giving him a good admonitioa. and

plainant, he forgave him this time, on condition of his
publicly begging the gentlemen's pardon, making a
