name of Mr. Williams, the proprimor of the Three Tuns, Poplar,
to a check for 251. on Messrs. Taylor and Co. brewers, at Lime-
house, requesting them to give cash for it. A clerk to the firm
was about complying with the request, when perceiving a hesita-
tion in the prisoner's mariner, be questioned him as to his posseftion
of it, when, instead of giving any answer, he instantly started off,
but was subsequently secured, and given into custody.—The pri-
soner was remanded for further examination; but previous to his
leaving the office, was recognised by Mr. Miller, the Chief Officer,
to be Joseph Pennell, an old practitioner in this mode of levying
contributions.
TOWN HALL.
A well dressed and well demcanoured young married woman, of
the Creolian cute, about three removes in features from the direct
African, named Ann Nicholson, was placed at the table to answer
for having well tweaked the noses of Mr. Pigman and his wife.
The venue was laid In Littte Surrey-street, St. George's Fields,
and the violation of thf nasal feelings of the prosecutors described
to have• taken place on Wednesday last, at the door of their habita-
tion, attended with such barbarity as actually drew tears from their
eyes, and in proof of this, a certain Gentleman, who (if we err
not) holds a county warrant, and in consequence appears " con
amore" in boots and breeches, whose own nose seemed to have been
for Med in the same mould with Mr. Bardolph's of old, and threat.
ened fire and brimstone for the offence, sympathised by declaring it
was a meat wanton and unprovokod attack, and proceeded in a
strain of afflicting description, unequalled except by that where
it is said--
" St. Damns, as the story goes,
Once tweaked the Devil by the nose,
And made him roar."
To this pitiable relation the spirited daughter of the sun replied,
that she had been called an intruder in this land of liberty, told to
go back from whence she came, that she was a slave beneath their
notice, and that if she did not take care should be favoured with
the whip of Mr. Pigman, which was more than once nourished
round her head. Nearly twenty witnesses corroborated this state-
ment. 1 then (continued the defendant), determined to spew
them the whip could not be applied to me in this country, or un-
merited accusations heaped on my head, did wring both their noses."
Alderman Senn told Mr. Pigman and his wife they both richly
deserved the treatment they had met with, and to go home and
mind their own affairs, discharging the defendant without rebuke.
