ment.. calling upon the Haab. Constable to provide a billet for
Francis Edwards, a,private soldiers..
„Tim Corporal stated, that on Wednesday last be went, by order
of Captain Stanley, to the residence of Mr. Lee, in Charing-cross,
for the purpose of obtaining his 'signature to the requisition in

any reasyn, and shut the door in the witnees's face.
Sir R. Theme said he had received a letter from Copt ala Stan-
ley, stating the complaint according to the Corporal'sevidence, and
'requastieg that he (Sirli. Birnie) would fine Mr.-Lee for refusing
to accept the requisition.
Mr. Lee calk upon the corporal to produce the requkition, and

UNION.FI ALL.
A youth named Janes, was yesterday daargedhy Mr. "rest, of
the Surrey Theatre, with presenting a forged a/imitators order for
three persons, purporting to be in Mr. West's Lind-writing, at the
pit entrance of that place of amusement the preceding evening.
Jones said he bought the order, for one shilling, of a female who
was standing near the pit door. In answer to some Observatlons
respecting the probability that the prisoner had himself written the
order, he answered that he cou'd not write. After Mine further
remarks, the case not being pressed, he was discharged:
A stout ferocious-looking man, named TA•nes Wiwile, was yes-
terday brought before Mr. Swann, on the followinecherge.
The prisoner, it was proved, entered the Hercules.,'Wens, West-
minster-road, on Thursday evening, accompanied by two friends,
and called for liquor. Being intoxicated at the tank, the landlady
refused to give him any. He then commenced abusing an who were
present, except his own companions; and having concluded his
drunken low tongued harangue, tent his fin through two panes of
ease, and then wantonly injured some bras* *work kept for the
protection of the window.
The hisois directed him to pay for the damage thus done.
" I have no money," said the man in a surly tone of 'voice.
Then I shall commit you to Brixton for seven days, observed the
Magistrate you must be taught not to destroy other people's pro-
perty.—Lie was then taken away by the gaoler.

any sort of game for money, except Knights.an4 also
Clergymen, who in one whole day and. night should not
.each lose more than twenty shillings, on pain of forfeit-
ing one hundred shillings to the Archbishop of the
army. Tne two Kings, might play for „what they
pleased; but their attendants not for more than twenty
shillings, otherwise they were to be whipped naked
through the army for three day!.

ELOPZUENT.—Sunday a young Lady, do-daughter
of a rich boniface at H—ck—y, in this county, eloped
with a gay Lothario. The old folks havirig a suspicion
that all was not right, watched the party. The„young
lady left the hciuse ssithout a bonnet, aad was shortly

Mr. RYLAND, for the prisoner Gosling, sahroiuti
that the evidence was not sufficient to support the charge
against him as a principal. The robbery by the oihet
prisoner was complete before Gosling interfered at all;
and though he might have been indicted as an sect'

The Learned Jtriacr was of opinion, that these vas
