COOXSON, APPILLANT--1111:Q0DijeltTlf. RitiPONDINT.

'lbis was a ea-, in ishicb a waterman and lighter/wan
was charged with not having lodged his apprentice in
his own house, in conformity with the statute, which
requires, for the sake if morality, that the apprentice
shall be is .der the immediate eye of:the master.
Mr. BOLLAND stated, that the appellant' had been
very properly convicted before Mr. D. inksld and the
Wardens of W•ter men% Hall, upon the 7th sad Bth of
I George IV. c. 75, which provided that the apprentice
should be lodges in the hoose of bis mater. Instead of
iesidics there, the apprentice, in this case, took up his
abode to a public house, where be remained nr t only
from morning till night, but from night till morning.
It might be objected that the apprentice had a tight to
throw up the business of waterman and He
Berman
al:
together as soon as he reached his twenty .first year. and
_to areas himself to any pursuit, shaking off the au:ho
tity of the master altogether, as well with, tepid to
lodging as an)thing else. But this argument would
not hold. The Act directed that waterenen,should
'ake apprentices under the age of eighteen. as the la-
hour of such a vocation demanded that the body should
have leached a certain degree of strength and hairdi:
!Fwd. This provision of course comprehended the ob-
ligation upon the master to carry into effect what was
required, as well after as b• fore the apprentice reached
the age of twenty one. The appellant bad been fined
.51. and cots.•
A witness proved that Bloodworth had been ap-
prr nticed to Cookson ; but he never knew him to live
with Cookson, nor did be know him. Bloodworth had
been employed lately.
A half drunken waterman gave the following evi-
dence—l knnwed Bloodworth, and I knows the Swan
public-house too—l should think so; Bloodworth used
to sat ye out the liquor in the tap-room there; many a
time he served myself with a drop of gin ; be want in
the she of going into no boat at all—that's truth ; on
my word he never occupied no boat at all t be meta no
man as rows a boat.

Mr. ADOLPMUS:iOr the appellant, stated that the ap-
prentice lived in his ma,ter's house until he leached his
21st year, when be refused to have any thing more to
do with the business, having better opportunities before
him. The yOung nun had Voluntarily absented him-
se:f aka period when no ina.iel could have any con-
troul, u there was no contract which a cason could
not renounce at the age of matuti..y.
The Reconuta did not consides the objection to the
convietioa of sufficient force.
Mr. ADOLPMUS then i tit his finger upon a dew in the
conviction before the Company of Watermea. and said
the ease was no longer tenable. It apprised that the
appellant was described as g• George Cotlson" in the
conviction; whereas, he was christened "Gcorge Wil-
liam Cookson..

The Remains held that this objection was fatal, and
the conviction was quashed.
Th. apprentice was ready to give evidence in favour
of the appellant, whose service he bad quitted when
eif age. •
The Appellant'. Petition, which was read in Court.
stated, that the grounds and reasons of the appeal were,
that the conviction was illegal in every resr.ect ; that
laic apprentice was hotrod to him on the 15 h •of Nov.
1821, for seven years, hat having, in about three years,
arrived at the age of 21, he absented biros& from ap-
pellant, and dissolved the contract between them ; and
the appellant had no power to compel him to serve the
remainder of his term, and therefore could not be subject
to any fine or forfeiture. •
Mr. Aim applied for the sanction of the Magis-
tures, to a transfer of the licei.se of the Greyhound
public house, West Smithfield, to Mr. John Bate. .1 he
petition on which be moved stated, that the petitioner
in Mauch last took the house. and a certain day was
appointed by Mr. Blacken, one of the Common Council,
to assign over the transfer of the license, bet viben•be
applied' for that purpose it will refused. • oti the ifllegad
ground that the house was not. con4actedl4 a proper
manner, being frequented by disorderly porn,. .Toi,
the petitioner positively denied, and said, that only on
one single occasion bad there been the least
.disiarbanFe,
mid that Was of *a trilling character! The petitioner
thaw stated that be bad espeaded a.large sum of money
on the homey sad if the license was withheld, it•would
!abject himself and family to *total rola. '

- J. Abrahams was ordered tn.Snd two sureties in twenty pounds
each, fat his appearance at the Sessions to answer a charge of as-
r Ct.:ferret, against bins by Mary Ann Nobbs, a pretty little
girl; daughter of a respectable tradesman in the city.
It appeared that, after passittg through liolywell street. she got
as far as Temple Bar, when she was called on by the dtfendant to
icturn. and obliged by him to, do so. _ When they reached Holy-
well-street,. he pushed her into his father's shop, and then accused
her of being a servant girl who Lad absconded tram them on the
previous Saturday, with some old clothes. Satisfying b.m that she
waesot the person she was takes for, she was seat about her
kosher ithout either apology or ceremony. Her father, however' took
the matter up. • At first. the defendant denied that any such affair
bad takeit piaci; but his mother ultimately admitted that it was
dix* our of a lark.
• The defendant bow protested that the likeness of the contaminant
to the servant girl was so great, that even tiles he was almost des.
etivedlly it.
The Magistrate. however, observed, that thli. finesse would see
answer. The barkers to the shops In Holywell-street were a tam-
est* nuisance, and ought to be pupisbed. If one of their were
brought before him for annoying a passenger, he would inflict a
heavy penalty upon him,—Bail was. soon • provided and the defen-
dant obtained his liberty.
