GUILDHALL.

Saturday an ostler, named Howsun, in the employ of Mr. Eames,
the coach proFietor, was charged with driving a van over a poor
woman, named Ann Smith, on Thursday evening, at the corner of
St. Mar tin's le-Grand.

Wilmer,a patrol,stated,that as he was passing alongNewgate-street
he heard some boys shout, and saw the prisoner driving a unicorn-
team, at the rate of ten miles an hour, up St. lilattin s-le-Grand.
He held up his stick and called to him, to induce him to slacken
his pace; but he disregarded him, and turning very sharply round
the corner, one of the horses overtook an old woman just as she
was reaching the pavement (having crossed) who fell, and the
wheels passed over her thighs. The horse had previously tram-
pled on her body. The prisoner was in a slight degree intoxicated.
but not so much so as to be unfit to be entrusted with the care of
the horses again. She was carried to the hospital, and the house-
surgeon had certified that she had suffered a fracture of the leg and
other severe injuries ; and though it could not be said that she
was at present in a dangerous state, yet, considering her age,
which was understood to be 68, and the extent ..of the injuries the
had received, he was of opinion that she might become so.
The Alderman committed the prisoner.
NI Ait LBOROUG H-STR ET.

A man named Lacey, in the employ of Messrs. Sever! and Cross.
the silk-mercers, in Compton•street, was charged with defrauding
his employers. The prisoner was a porter at Nles,r,. &well and
Cross's, and it appeared that he was in the habit of charging more
for the carriage or parcels, which he conveyed to the wharfs in the
City, than be paid for them, and in this manner he had defrauded
them of various sums of money. The prisoner had nothing to say
in his defence; and :11r. Draa, in remanding him, observed that
the firm of &well and Cross were more frequet•.tly plundered by
their own servants tban any other house in the metropolis.
On Saturday an application was made by the mother of an inter.
eating girl, aged 17, for a warrant against her master. According
to the statement of the mother, the girl was foolish, and incompe-
tent to judge between right and wrong. Her mistress is confined,
and about a week since bcr master took the opportunity of accom.
plisbing his purpose. The Magistrate. Mr. Rot, to.d her he could
afford her no redress, as the daughter (who seemed unconscious of
what was passing), was incapable of giving evidence.
WORSHIP-STREET.

On Saturday F. Bunten was chargedwVisbeing concerned with
a man named Kent, in stealing a horse from Mr. Alexander,of the
Repository, in Well-street. The prisoner had been taken into
custody at Islington, on suspicion of having stolen two sheep and
a horse, found in his possession. Those charges, however, proved
untenable as matters of felony, and the sheep and horse have since
been returned to the person from whom they were obtained. He
is a very young man, but known to be very suspiciously connected
with others. Kent was supposed to have arrived in London with
the prisoner after the horse in question was stolen, the latter acting
as servant,. He was remanded.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Saturday J. Christmas was charged with stealing a horse, the
property of Mr. ';lover, a hackney-coach master. lie had taken
his master's coach and horses out on Thursday last without orders;
and, on passing along Westminster-bridge, one of the horses was
taken ill; be drove to a farrier's in the neighbourhood, where un-
luckily the horse died, and the prisoner sold the carcass to the
knacker for XI 12s. 6d. he drove the coach home with the re-
maining horse, and absconded with the money. Nothing was
heard of him until he was apprehended by Drew the officer. The
prisoner was remanded.
TOW N- H A I. L.
Saturday R. Riggs„ clad in a flannel waistcoat with sleeves, and
lately returned from transportation, was charged with stealing, or
being concearned in stealing, blankets from the poor-house.
Several blankets having been missed, an inquiry was insti-
tuted, productive of the information that a man named Rear-
don, applying for relief, had tampered with a boy at the gate,
by asking hint if he could not sneak a blanket or so? To the
the boy's credit, whose name is Blizard, he said " No ;" when
Reardon replied, " Oh yes you can, and you and I will go snacks,
and I'll put you up to it. When you've got the blankets, put as
many pipe-tubes under the door as you've got blankets, and that
shall be the signal." The boy said no more, and the villain departed.
—Thus stood the affair until twelve o'clock, the time appointed,
at night, when matters being arranged, through the boy's fidelity,
the gate was kept upon the hasp, and two pipe-tubes passed under-
neath, followed by as many blankets ; but ere they could be well
picked up, out sprang the gate-keeper himself, Fife, who seized
upon the prisoner, with one of the blankets in his possession, Rear-
don dropping the other and running away.
Ile was committed for trial.
. UN lON- HA LI..

Saturday a coal-meter, named Btiu,w;s charged with hav'ng
allowed a greater portion of coals to be carried away than he was
authorised to measure. Ile had measured thirty-five sacks instead
of thirty-one, for two cbaldrons and a half. This subjected hint to
a penalty of 104 by the act of Geo. IV. After some discussion,
the information was dismissed, in consequence of an informality.
In consequence of great aumbers of complaints having been made
to the Magistrates, against persons carrying on their trade eml call-
ing on the Sabbath-day, summonses were issued lay the orders of
Mr. Chambers against the offenders. Five-and•forty of them ap-
peared on Saturday, and were fined, some .55., others Gs. 8d ; the
amount altogether was nearly 81.
