Yesterday the driver of a van d Mr. James Shearman, of the
Certain-road, Shoreditch, was charged before Mr. Aid. Tuoar, by
'Mosby, one of the officers to the Society for Preventing Cruelty
to Animals, with mal-treating his horse, drawing the said van, on
Blackfriars Bridge; he was reprimanded by the worthy Magis-
trate ; and on his promising not to offend again, and it being his
first offence, be was ordered to pay the officer the costs, 45. and be
discharged.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday Mr. Nevitt, the landlord of the George. a respectable
public-house at Hammersmith, came before Mr. Mnrsnutd., and
asked his advice how to act under these circumstances :
A party of five respectably dressed persons came to his house and
ordered refreshments to the amount of 10s. which they paid for,
but afterwards had grog amounting to 4s. 6d. and were about to
leave the house when he stopped three of them, sod they swore
they would not pay. One of them jumped out of the window,
while another threw a glass at the applicant, which Ad not strike
him, but broke to pieces on the floor. He finally got the amount
he demanded, but on Monday morning he was served with a notice
of action by one of the parties for an assault and false imprisonment.
Mr. blrusnui.t. said this was one way of answering a just de-
mand ; bat observed that he could give the complainant no assist.
ance • he must apply to his lawyer.
The complainant said he had no fondness for lawyers, but sooner
than submit to such a demand, he would employ an attorney to de-
fend the action.
Mr. Bewee, am attorney, was brought up, charged with assault-
ing a Mr. M'Kay, the leaseholder of two houses in Thanet-place,
Temple-bar.
In the course of a long examination, it appeared that Mr.
Bower occupied chambers In one of the houses rented by Mr.
M'Kay, front Messrs. Child's, the bankers, and Mr. M'Kay
was extremely anxious to get rid of one whom he considered
to be a most troublesome tenant, he being in the habit of keep-
ing late hours, and bringing home noisy company with him, to
the great annoyance of the neighbours. On Sunday night last, in
the course of a dispute, Mr. Bower struck Mr. Id• Kay a blow
which gave him a black eye. This was the assault complained
of by Mr. &May, and in answer to it Mr. Bower said he had
been annoyed in every possible way. Mr. M' Kay had endeavoured
to stalk him out with brimstone ; to " burn him out" with blazing
lanterns placed in front of his door; and to " stick him with a
sword ; and finally, he had placed an earthen pot, full of combos-
tibls matters, under his bed, for the purpose of " blowing hint
up."—(Lowl laughter.)
Mr. Minimum, after a very patient investigation, ordired both
parties to find bail to keep the peace towards each other.
H ATTON-G A RDEN.
Two men, named Russell and Blaclkurn, were brought before
Messrs. Roosts and Lento, charged with obstructing police-offi-
cers, Cole and Osborne, in Horton-street, at about two o'clock in
the morning. Cole (No. 14) deposed that as he and Osborne were
on duty in Horton-street, the two prisoners assailed them with
very abusive and disgusting language. Witness desired them to go
away quietly, but they would not, and they took them to the
watch-twine.
Mr. Rooms (to prisoners)—What do you say to obstructing the
officers?—We were drunk.
Mr. Booths—So you think it right that a parcel of drunken
fellows like you are to obstruct and abuse the constituted authori-
ties • you must find bail.

Adrianople was taken from the Greeks by the Turks
in 1350, and continued to be the seat of their empire till the cap-
ture of Constantinople in 1453—an interval of IC3 years. This
city was taken by Mahomet the Second, at the age of twenty-
three—one of the most rentaikable of the Turkish Sultans, and a
native of Adrianople. This put an end to the Eastern Empire,
which had subsisted for 1,123 years.
THE GREAT SNORING COMMITTEE.—It is usual to
designate patliamentary committees by the names of the bills, they
sit to consider. A bill was some years ago introduced into the
House of Lords, for enclosing lands in the parish of (+rest Snoring,
in the county of Norfork, and was in regular course committed to
a select committee. It is sometimes a practice to move that on a
select committee all the lords who attend it shall have voices; and
Lord Eldon, then bold chancellor, one day rose with the greatest
gravity, and said, " I request your lordships serious attention to
the motion I am about to put ; it is, that .11 the lords who attend
the Great Snoring Committee shall have voices."
The Tralee Mercury, in illustration of the blessings
which Ireland derives from absenteeism, says that " Sir Edward
Denny, not content with being an absentee himself, appoints an
absentee agent. From 50 to 60 new leases were recently papered
by the agent, and for every lease six guineas was charged fur law
costs, and three guineas towards the expenses of Mr. France front
Worcester to Tralee and back again. Sir Edward Denny draws
out of his estates in Kerry about 14,0001, a year, and an additional
I,ooof. a year for the sale of the borough of Tralee."
It is understood that Lord Southwell and several Ca-
tholic gentlemen of the county of Worcester are about to be added
to its list of Alagistrates. It is mid that Sir Edward Blouit, Bart.
C. E. Hanford, Esq. R. Berkeley, Esq. T. C. Hornyhold, Esq.
and W. Acton, Esq. will be of the number.
