BOW-STRERT.

Yesterday morning two Gentlemen, named Williams and Perrin,
partnered themselves before Sir Ricmaan Maids and Mr. Hm.r.s,
the Sitting Magistrates, and stated that they appeared for the pur-
pose of entering into sureties on behalf of Sir Gregor M'Gregor,
who was in custody on a charge of sending a challenge to a Gentle.
man named Spong, to light a duel.—Mr. Memsnucc, on Saturday
evening, gave directions that twenty-four hours' notice of bell
should be given, and that the notice should be %erred upon Mr.
Spong as well as the Office. Notice had been served upon Mr.
Spoil, in pursuance of the Magistrate's order, and that Gentleman,
was consequently in attendance with his Solicitor. The Officer
presented the book to Messrs. Perrin and William►, for the par
pose of administering the oath in the usual manner; but they de-
cHned being sworn, stating as a reason for their refusal, that the
legal adviser of Sir Gregor M'Gregor was dot in attendance, mina
Mr. Spong had a Solicitor with hint, questions might be asked
which they might not think proper to answer, and they wished to be
protected from being called upon to answer impertinent questions.
The Gentlemen withdrew for Vtielr, and V& Gregor M'Gregor
was sent for from the Watch House, and appeared before the kla-
giurates: •

Mr. HALL' informed Sir Gregor M'Gregor that the persons who
had appeared to give bail for him had refose4 to be sworn, and,
therefore, he should direct his commitment to be made out.
Sir Gregor M' Gregor said, that he understood the parties had no
objection to bail him.
Mr. liat.% directed the clerk to read the evidence, and when
that wag done, he directed the clerk to make out a warrant of com-
mitment. _ _

Sir Gregor 51. Gregor said, be thought he was treated with same
degree of harshness under the particular circumstances of the case

Sir Gregor M•Gregor replied, that his friends were ready to ball
him, and there was no danger of his ever being out of the way to
answer any complaint.
bit. Spong replied, that be had been for Weeks endenonriog to
find him.

Sir Gregor M' Gregor admitted having written the challenge with
the Intention which had been imputed to bim. the complainant
bad gone about the City using expressions calculated to Injure his
reputation, and also the reputation of his friends ; and being so
calumniated, he called upon the propagator of the slander to give
hint a meeting. The reason he addressed dui note to Mr. Eden
was, because be could not find Mr. Spong.
Mr. Spong said, be was always to be found, bat Mr. M'Gregor
could not be found, notwith►tanding the mint active search for
several weeks past.
Sir RICHARD RIRMIR-.-TILII is strange! because he Is s MID of
rank : he Is a General !
Mr. Spong—l do not know by whom he was appointed.
Sir Gregor M'Gregor—l am a General in the Colombian ser-
♦ice--undrr a Government which has been recognized by the Bri-
tish Government—and I have my commission to produce if the

Magistrates doubt my assertion.
The accused was ultimately committed to prison, and the Magis-
trates informed him that be must give 24 hours' :mitre of ball to
the office, and also to Mr. Wilda, Solicitor for Mr. Spans.
About an hoer afterwards Mr. Acsocenus appeared before the
Magisttates on behalf of Sir Gregor /41.0regor, and stated the res.
son why the ball declined being sworn. It was not because they
were not competent to enter Into the required sureties, but they
wished to have Catania present.
Messrs. Williams and Perrin were then called in, and gave their
respective addresses.
Mr. AMPODPIIUS said he could not ask the Magistrates to retrace
their steps and set aside the order they had given for twenty-four
hours' notice of bail, and he now gave notice that these Gentlemen
would attend this day to put in bail.
Sir Rummel) Maxie said that no objection could be taken to Mr.
Williaass,but he had not the honour of knowing the other Gentleman.

Mary Callaghan and Dialled Lynda, two utterers Obese calm
and who have been in custody sham the 7th of July, were finally
examined on the capital charge of colouring, sad also as befog
titterers of counterfeit cohi.

Mr. POwell, the Mint solicitor, and Mr. Field, an inspector, were
present, but by the express order of Mr. Lando, the room was
cleared of all pet sons not immediately interested in the examinadee.
The following are the facts connected with the case. Some time
before the apprehension of the prisoners information was received
that they were selling, but at the time not the slightest suspicion
was entertained that colouring formed part of their employ.
ment. In consequence of this information a person named
Kelly was employed to make purchases, and marked money was
given him for that purpose. Being in some degree known to the
parties, they felt no scruple in proceeding with their business before
him, and on more than one occasion he was compelled to wait while
the colouring and finishing off was performed -by the prisoners.—
These circumstances being communicated to the officers, Limbrick
and Kirby went at an appointed hour to the residence of the prison-
ers, at a retired house in Chegaer•alley, Bunhill.row, and succeeded
in apprehending them both. On searching the apartmerff, two of
the marked shillings were found in a little bag, hanging by the bed-
side, and in other places a quantity of grey powder and other articles
used in the process of colouring. Several pieces of base metal in
an unfinished state, and some ready for circulation, were also db.,
covered.

The whole of these articles were produced, and were strictly
scrutinised by the Mint Authorities.—The prisoners offered nothing

lodgings, where tie prisoners claimed him as a countryman, and
appeared vastly civil. After a short conversation about the harvest,

BRIGHTON, Aucturr 24.
At the Sitting of Magistrates, yesterday, a eye 01
most revolting cruelty to a mare was stated. It 20.
',eared that a Gentleman, residing at an hotel in sike
town drove her in a gig to a place called Newhaven,
about nine miles from Brighton, on her return bolsi
which she kicked, and was restive. Instead ot flagging
die poor animal at the moment, he kicked and heather
when she was brought back to the stable and finished
by tying her to the rack, with a rope passed through
the mouth. In this state she was left, without food,
from about half-past six o'clock in the evening till nine,
when the Gentleman came again to the stable, and
ordered the ostler, who had previously remonstrred
with him, to release her. When the rope was loosened,
it wits found that its pressure had literally severed a
large piece of the poor animal's tongue, which hung
so loosely to the rest that the ostler cut it off the nett
morning with a knife, not liking to do it by candle-
light the same evening. When first cut off, it was five
inches long; and on ;is being produced to the Magi*:
trates, although dried and shriveled up, it was still
three inches. It is unnecessary to describe the feeling
produced in Court by this statement, which unhappily
cannot, it would seem, be punished except by the en-
posure that has been made of the circumstance; fori
on referring to Mr. Martin's Cruelty Act, it was dig,
covered that information under it must be laid within
ten days ; while, in this case, fourteen had elapsed
since the transaction.

A curious case was heard a few days ago at the Head
Police Office, Dublin. A Lady, twenty years of age,
of highly respectable connections, was charged with
four others with conspiring to entrap a young Gentle:
man of fifteen into a marriage, which was performed
at Gretna Green. The young Lady was held to bail,
but three persons were committed to pri.on on the
charge. The bridegroom was sent to the house of his
father. The names of the parties have not transpired.
Monday, Patrick Walsh was tried at Clonrnel
Assizes, for the atrocious murder and burning of the
Shea', at Tubber, in the county of Tipperary, on the
might of the 19:h of November, 1821. This important
ease excited a strong and general feeling of anxiety:
the Court House was crowded, and at six o'clock is the
evening the jury retired for deliberation. There appear.
ing no probability olio agreement, the Court adjourned
to next day, the jury remained in all night, and at tea
o'clock on the morning when the latest accounts left,
they had not then found a verdict, and prepararion
were being made for kicking the panel to the b ,undr of
the county. Last Spring Assizes Par. Gorman was
found guilty and Wit:emoted to-I...this. horrible outrage.
