. BOW...STREET.
byre Evans,Esq an eminent merchant at Liverpool, was brought
up by Taunton, charged with intending to fight a duel with Mr.
Thomas Robert Richmond, aim ainerehant at the same place.

It appeared, that the two Gentlemen quarrelled on 'Change ag
Liverpool, and Mr. Richmond applied the epithet scoundrel to Mr.
Evers, upon which the latter knocked him dOwn. A challenge en-
sued, but the meeting was prevented, and they both were held te"
bail. It was subsequently agreed to meet at Dieppe to settle the
affair, but information being sent to this tact, Mr. Evans wee
arrested on his way through London, with kis intended second, Cal.
Barton, of Chester. Mr. Evans was held to bail in heavy sureties.
A tall young Irishman, named William Liule, was cLarged whir
sending threatening letters to Rowland Alston Esq. of Harley-
street, Cavendish-square, a Magistrate for Middlesex. It appeanri
that the defendant had lived for a considerable time in the service
of Mr. Alston, as footman, and conducted himself with propriety,
but possessing rather a pleasing voice, and having a very good opinion
of his own talent as a singer, he 'was continually practising in the
house, and boasting, that if he could once be introduced to Messrs.
Kemble, Mitten, or any other leading mend the cops drarsalifee,
lust to give them a specimen of his powers, they would at once be
glad to patronise him, and he should speedily come before a Lowden
audience. About' twelve months ago, he left Mr. Alston's service,
when Mr. A. gave him 51. over and above his wages, as a reward
for his honesty and attention. He obtained another situation ins.
mediately after; but firm-thence he retired with disgust, being
unable longer to endure the vile drudgery of a footman's life. From
that time, he began to apply to Mr. Alston for his assistance he ob-
taining an engagement at one of the Metropolitan Theatres' and
occasionally requesting pecuniary assistance. Mr. Alston was seem
tired of these applications; and then the defendant commented
writing in a different strain, hinting that, unless llts demands were
complied with, he should disturb the peace of Mr. Alston's family
most materially. In addition to several letters, containing eves
plainer threats than this, he wrote to a Gentleman in Grosvenor-
square, a particular friend of Mr. Alston's, stating that he should
be sorry to create confusion and dismay in the family of the latter
Gentleman, but he should feel himself obliged to do so, unless be
same forward, and lent him his influence and support. He wanted,
be said. first of all, to procure a provincial engagement, and asked
Mr. Alston to supply him with 101. to support him decently, until
be could be ushered on the London boards. At length his threats
became of so unequivocal a nature, that Mr. Alston thought it
necessary to seek protection from the law, against the meditated
violence of the defendant and a warrant was issued from this Office
for his apprehension.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, repeated all the nonsense
before-mentioned, about his great vocal powers, the loss the public
would sustain if be were nut brought forward, and the obligation
there was upon Mr. Alston, to do all he could to promote his views.
It did not appear, however, what obligation of that kind there
could be upon Mr. Alston. AU the defendant's answers were
evidently evasive, and be evinced from the beginning, an obstinate
determination to avoid satisfying inquiry. He went on to say, that
Mr. Alston had denied that he possessed any qualifications for the
stage, but had pronounced him to be exceedingly well adapted for
the prize-ring, and had offered to back him if he should fight.
Mr. Alston laughed, and declared that he had never said any
such thing.

Mr. Mamma. earnestly endeavoured to convince the foolish
fellow that be was labouring under a delusion' but it was in vain,
and he was ordered to And bail : mr. Minshull observing, that in
consideration atilt defendant's situation in life, he should call era
klm fq; only his own recognizance in 401. and two sureties in got.
each to keep the peace.
The defendant said, the Magistrate bad no business to take his
situation in life into consideration at all. If his threats were of
such a nature as to be considered dangerous to the public peace, the
law ought to have its course. He should not attempt to get bail—
' he should rather choose to endure Imprisonment.
He then made his edt, accompanied by an siker who locks&
bins up:
M A R LBO ROU G H-STREET.
Yesterday, leremirth Child, James Price, and Goodwin, pri.
vates belonging to the second Regiment of Guards, were charged
with a highway robbery.
Mr. Thomas Wayne, of Duke street, Bloomsbury, the person
whom they had robbed, deposed to his acquaintance with Child,

taken from him. _ _

A watchman swore to sering*Mr. Wayne on the ground.

parties quarrelling, and a girl exclaiming. " If you don't be quiet,
ru tell about the watch." In consequence of hearing this, he
entered, and toot the prisoner Price, and he ultimately succeeded
in securing the other two. He found the watch in the possession
of Goodwin.
Goodwin said Wayne was drink, and gave him the watch.
Mr. Wayne denied this.
Price and Child declared their innocence.
Mr. Wayne believed Child completely innocent, and be was in
consequence ilicharged.
Goodwin and Price were committed.

A Ira:—Three Pinks of the West-end, cognoselble as Captais
inks, Mr. Jabssois, and Mr. Gahm, were brought from St. George's
watch-house, where they had ruminated for the eight preceding
hours, for "flooring the Charleys."
The watchman stated, that at half-past three that morning, the
three prisoners were in Bond-street at the time a gig or chaise-cast
was passing, when that Gentleman (pointing to the Captain) called
out," Stop it, stop it, stop the cart ! there's a body in it—there's a
body in it !" The Captain and Mr. Johnson ran after the cart and
stepped it. Witness ran up to see what was the molter, when the
Captain gave him a blow in the belly. Not being able to do any
thing by himself, he sprung. his rattle, when two mote watchmen
came to his assistance, and all three were served out in the same
manner by that other Gentleman (Mr. Johnson).
The night constable said they were very disorderly in the watch.

dig-
respectful terms of his Worship (\!r. Dyer) that he was ashame 4
to repeat them.
Of Mr. Gilian little was said, and he said but little.

Mr. Johnson said he had eight shillings, be knew, in Ms waistcoat

he had the money, and was sure they mast have taken it.
Mr. Drag fisted Mr. Gillen ss. for being drunk, ordered the

to give sureties for three assaults on the others.

charge against the watchmen.
