QUEEN SQUARE,
Byers and his man Rawlins again appeared to support an infor-
mation against the proprietois of the Lewes stage coact, Messrs.
Homes George Sincombe, and Thomas Bryan, for not
having their names at fulllength painted on the body of the coach.

coach, No 6,664, with the words Lewes and London on the pan-
nels, the name of William Horse was on it, but the names tit the
other proprietors were not on.
Mr. Gunmen (looking at the information)—Where doyou state
the coach piles farm ? From Lewes, Sir.
Mr Gammas—Bow do you spell it?—L, e, w, e, s.
Mr. Giacome—That is the correct mode, but it is spelt Lewis
in the information, which error I bold tote fatal so your present
enterprise.
Byers—But, Sir, the mistake in the averment of the information
is only trilling, and can he got over if you will allow me to say—
Mr. GRiaoltlr—You nerd not taercise your lent ingenuity,
Byers, as the information must be quashed in consequence of the
flaw. I therefore dismiss the case.

expected defeat.

siderabk amount, were roles; ; every cupboard and drawer in the
shop and parlour ransacked, and three files of receipts and bills, of
eight years standing,
shad been collected and mainioudy torn to
pieces ; all his accounts and account books had been thrown into the
water-tub in the yard, evidently for the purpose of destroying them,
as it must have taken a consid. rable deal of trouble to get at the
water which was at the height of ten feet.
The prisoner William Mitchell; had form( rly been in his em-
ploy, but was discharged for embezzlement, and at the time vowed
to be revenged some day. Several trifisug articles, his property,
were found in the pockets of George.
UNION HALL.
Friday night the body of Mrs. Cuthbert. a respectable trades. I
man's wife of Stockwell, was stolen from the burial ground od. the
Dissenting Chapel, and on Saturday an application was male to the
Magistrres of this Office, requesting the assistance of the Officers
to recover the corpse.
The husband of the deceased attended, and, as will be readily
believed, was much shocked that the remains of his wife should have
been disturbed. The body was only interred on Friday.
Hall, the head constable, and another Officer, proceeded to the
Borough Hospitals in search of the corpse. but were unsuccessful.
It is supposed that the body snatchers have not yet taken the
deceased for dissection.
The representation made before the )lagisirates was, that the
deceased was highly respected; that she was particularly benevolent;
and that considerable anxiety prevailed in the congregation in con-
sequence of the outrage committed.

charged before the Mayor with hating administered to a very
respectable and rathet handsome young female a quantity of Can-
tharides, commonly called Spanish" or 44 French dies." It
seems that he bad taken a strong liking to the young Lady, and.
took the opportunity of being at a tea pasty with•her to give her
a considerable quantity of the dies above mentioned, reduced to
powder, and either sprinkled on the toast or infused into the tea
which she took. This was done, no doubt, in the notion that the
effect would be the excitement in her of feelings correspondent
with his own. a vulgar error which should usuversally exploded,
for, instead of the rod proposed, the only certain result from such
applications is much torment, and nut improbably, death-to the
individual. In the present case, the sufferings of the young Lady
