CHIAVNAL isronzATlON.

Mr. Serjeant i3e*r moved for a rule to slew cause
why :: criminal information r:iould not be filed against
'Mr. Guy, an Attorney of thin Court, for using Ora
following words to Mr. Rogers, a Magistrate, acing
in the town of Croydon s•—•' You are no gentleman,
and will always tar you so. If it was titit fir I
know hat, I'd lit you know 'What." T:iese words.
.0 was contended, were intended to provoke Mr. R.c-
.
gars to commit a breach of the peace.
• Lord ELLENBOROUGH-11 I don't know what Mr.
Goy meant, but I think he acted very foolishly: Tlie
prosecutor may indict if there is ground for it.". 7—
Kole refused. •

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday an information came on to be heard
against R. Shohard, for vending brooms without
having a hawker's licence.
The Hon. Mr. Easxmit attended, and stated, that
Lord Emma bad many thousand acres of land
covered with birch and heath, and by way of clear-
ing it, be ordered several persons to be employed to
make brooms, and send them to town. The Lear-
ned Gentleman contended, that a person had a right
to manufacture his property, and sell it to the best
advantage. To prove this, be quoted many cases un-
der the. Bankrupt Laws, which were decided before
Lord Mansfield, Lord Ellenborougla, &c: where it
was proved to that effect. What constitutes the
:brooms was the produce of the estate, and the persons
'employed were his servants t therefore, the informa-
tion should be laid against his Lordship, and not 11;s
servant, as all the 'benefit went to him. Neither of
these perseni could be proved to be hawkers or *ea-
ters, as specified by the Act of Parliament.
Mr. Spaams, on the other side, said, it would be
one of the wonders of the age to see the Et-Chancel-
Jar of England in the humble occupation of a hawker
'of brooms; and although the persons he employed
were not previously in that occupation, they now sub-
jected themselves to sr
,penalty, by doing what other
hawkers do, and neglecting to take out a licence.
Mr. FIELDING said, be was satisfied himself upon
the subject that his Lordship ought to have been li-
wonted, and therdore he must convict.
When Lord ERSElNZentered the Court, and war
inforgbed by the 'Magistrate they must proceed
td conviction, his Lordship replied—so If you do, it
must be under a sweeping clause," and immediately,
give notice that be should enter an appeal to the
Quater Sessions, and stopped the conviction.

Unlikk our modern Darius of Fashion, Fortune
seems to be more partial. to the rest end of the town
than to the ova j this it is, we suppose, which has
induced WEBB, with whom she bas been doseiticatiq
some time in Ludgate-street, to open another Office
at 9, Cornhill—indeed the fair Goddess deserved no-
tions less at hii hands than a compliance upon his
part with her desires, for however she may be ac-
fused of fickleness to ethers, she has, to all those who
have sued for her favours throagb his aseacy, been,
most constant, as may be seen by the list of Capitals'
ijid ky him in the last Eight Months, and to which,

hounds in the kingdom have liacrthis season --On
Friday, the 26th ult. a forunkennelled at Dringhoe,
went off immediately on the hounds being. thrown;
into cover, for sir George Wood's plantations
crossed Nunkelling Moor, turned to the right over
Frodingham Field, Item thence to Foston, straight
for Kelk Pastures, when the hounds pressed so hard
upon him, that he would not turn down to the OA
Wood, but went away for Little Kelk. Gembling,
and Barmston, and from thence to Harpham Vil-
lage, which he went throngh—then down to Kilhain,
-over the Sheep Walk to Dotterel Park, where the
hounds ran out of scent into view, and killed him be-
fore he could reach the village of Timing. The chace
lasted one hour and 25 minutes, at the best pace, with-
out a check the whole way ; and what adds to this
very extraordinary ran is, that 22 couple of hounds
were taken into the fild, and at the death '2l couple
were in. At the close, the huntsman led the way
over the last fence, and was immediately followed by
Lady Boynton, who left all the other sportsmen ar a
respectable distance. With due gallantry, the hunts-
man immediately presented Lady Boynton with the
brush, who went off decorated with the honours of
the field, after a ran of upwards of 20 miles.

The Marquis of ANOLESEA arrived in town yester.
day from his sporting tour.
Sir HENRY DAMPIIItt one of the Justices of the
Court of King's Bench, died on Saturday. He is
succeeded by Mr. HOLIWYD: the appointment was

We understand that numerous applications have

seems the present Lottery Scheme, by having all the
Capitals floating in the Wheel, including two Grand
Prizes of 25,000 Guineas, to be paid in Gold, Two
of £20,000, &c. &c. all of which may be divided on
that interesting day; and as there are Net Two
Blanks to a Prize, and every Prize will be proclaimed
twice, if what calculators say be true, that the odds
are .5 to 4 in favour of a Prize in Two Numbers, we
shall hear more Prizes proclaimed than Blanks. •
Monday se'nnight a man in the employ of the
Greenock brewery, fell into one of the coppers, and
was. so dreadfully scalded, that he died on Thursday.
Thursday se's:sight, Michael Erskine, tide-waiter,
Greenock, was found dead en the stair of the house
in which he lodged. No cause is assigned for his sud-
den demise, he having previously appeared in good
health.

Wednesday, as some boys were playing in a
bakehouse, belonging to Mr. Wood, contract baker,
at C.risbrook, one of them seeing a gun carelessly
laid by, and not knowing it was loaded; took it up
and presented it at a son of Mr. limes, and clic-
charged its contents in his face and breast, which so
dreadfully wounded him, that little hopes are enter-
tained of his recovery.
Four seamen of the A FRTC A INE frigate were crece-
ted on board that •ship, at Portsmouth, on 'Thursday,
fur a detestable crime—two of them were rtatives of
Italy.

Monday se'nnight Patrick Keogh was hanged at

sion, for being of the party who pulled down the bar-
rack at 134110neli.
STAFFORD, FEBRUARY S.—The agitation in the
colleries, in the vicinity of Wolverhampton, has not
subsided. The neighbourhood of Dudley and Tip-
ton has been disturbed by riotous assemblages of col-
liers and others, during the week. On Friday, a
party attacked Mr. Zephaniah Parkes, near Holly.
Hall, put a rope round his neck, and threatened to
hang him, unless he acceded to their illegal demands;
and a reward of fifty guineas has been offered for the
discovery of the offenders. Great numbers assembled
in and near Dudley on Saturday and Monday, but
no other particular act of outrage has come to our
knowledge ; and we have great satisfaction in stat-
ing, that- she Civil Magistrates have made such ar:
rangements for the maintenance of the peace as eii--
cumstifices demanded—and that troops are arrived
in all the neighbouring towns.
During an assemblage of colliefs, in consequence
of a redtection in their wages,. at Tipton New Church
Colliery, a boy threw a piece of 'ironstone down the
shafts of one of the pits, which falling upon the head,
of Isaac Whitehouse, aged 14, (who, with another
boy, was waiting in the skip to ascend) instantane-
ously killed him. The. whimsey, however, was not
at the time in motion ; and it appeared from evi-
dence, 'that the boy who precipitated themone was'
unaware of any person being below when the acci.'
dent happened. ,
Elizabeth Grew, four years of age, and Samuel
Jones, three years of age, bate been burnt to death

On the 25th ult. a dreadful fire broke out in the
premises of Randle Wilkinson, of the parish of Wes.
