Cure himself from these duties. The qualifications
for a Parochial Elector are the being a citizen, above
'25 years of age, a householder and a resident in the

On Wednesday se'nnight, H. Hardy, Esq. one of
the Coroners of the City of Coik, held an Inquest on
the body of -- M'Carthy, who died at the North
Infirmary, in consequence of a barbarous outrage
committed on him a short time since. About three
weeks ago, the deceased was at a Pattern at St.
Olive's Well, where, in company with his sister and
some others of his family, .he was drinking in a tent,
when some men came in, armed with the blades of
scythes fastened to flat sticks, and with swords and
pistols. One of them, named Callaghan, asked the
deceased,—did he come there to fight? He replied,
he did not, that he was not addicted to fighting, and
never was engaged in one in his life. 14e drank to
Callaghan, who refused pledging him, but made a
blow with the scythe at the deceased, which was pre-
vented from taking effect by one Barrett, who held
his arm. The deceased attempted to run out of the
tent, but found the door surrounded by a number of
armed men. He then ran to the upper end of it,
but was pursued by the said persmis, and some
one called to him to beg his life. 'He -accordingly
knelt on his right knee, ani begged Callaghan to

POLICE!
-.Antimitouau-sTABET. —lt has been stated that
the house of Bird, Esq. in St. James's Place,
wis robbed on Monday night of plate, jewellery.
coins, and other articles to the amount of £lOOO, and
upwards. Mama: Lincoln Roger: and his wife were
taken into custody yesterday morning by Jackson and
T. Foy, on suspicion of die robbery. It appeared,
on an examination of the parties, that the female pri.
soner was acquainted with Mr. Bird's female servant,
who alone had the care of the house, and she with
her husband frequently visited there, in company also
with Edward Willrnore, who keeps a chandler's shop.
in St. George's fields, the latter of whom was a prin-
cipal witness in this case. He stated, that the man
prisoner had brought part. of the stolen property to
his house, part of which he left, and observed, that if
lie was transported seven years for the offence, Will-
more would get fourteen years. He also stated, that
the female prisoner enticed the servant out of the
house, whilst her husband (who had boasted of hav-
ing keys for every lock) robbed it. To this accusa-
tion, the prisoner, in a rage, replied, ei if 1 robbed the
house, who carried the articles away ? You did, you
know you did." This the witness denied, however,
'and continued his evidence. Another person proved
having purchased a quantity of curious coins of the'
prisoner's wife, which she said she dealt in;and which
proved to have been part of the property stolen horn
Mr. Bird's house, and there were other corroborat;ons
against the two prisoners, who were remanded for
another etamination.
A person was fully committed for trial, for thret
several utterings of forged RIO notes, purporting to
be Bank cif England notes, in Essex and Middlesex.
GtoLonaet:.—George Cumberland, Esq. Who, on
Thursday last, Made a complaint against the driver of
the Reading coach, attended yesterday, having, ac-
cording to the Act of Parliament, laid a regular lulu--
mation. Mr. Cumberland again stated his ground of
complaint. He had taken a place in the Reading
stage for London, and paid five shillings and sixpence
in advance, which was regularly .noted in the way-
bill. Being apprehensive for his safety, in conseqoence
of the coach being overloaded, he felt it his duty to
quit it. He, therefore, demanded his luggage from
Mr. Williams, the coachman, who refused to give it
up, unless he was paid sixteen shiLings, the full fare
to London. This occurred on Saturday the 28th of
September ; on the following day he called for his
property at the Black Lion; in Water-lane. The book-
keeper, however, refused to give it up, unless he paid
16s- This, after inspecting the way-bill (in which
Ss. 6d. was marked, as having been paid in advance
by an inside passenger), and chewing it to the book-
keepers he ultimately paid.
Mr. Aetev, for the defendant, observed, that the
penalty of Ws. which the Act of Parliament imposed,
on conviction, weighed nothing v.ith his client, cha-
racter was every thing to him, and in support of that
had this da• forward.

he hat, _ y come.__ _
Williams, the defendant, stated, that he had never,
in his life, knowingly, demanded more than his regu-
lar fare. As to the charge of his coach being over-
loaded, he could bring eight witnesses to prove the re-
verse ; and persons who were passengers in the stage
at the time the circumstance occurred could state,
that, so far from behaving rudely, he conducted him self
with moderation and propriety.
Alderman C. SMITH, under all the circtutistanvs of
the case, directed the defendant to return the .ss. J.
and pay the expencss ; which being done, the infor-
mation was discharged ; Mr. Cumberland having
previously stated his conviction, in answer to a qtzes ,
non from Mr. ALLEY, that no fraud had been medi-
tated by the defendant.
Bow-sritEET.-- Thursday evening Jame: Scott was
brought before Mr. Read, charged with feloniously
stealing a blunderbuss the property of Mr. Brooks,
of Castle-street, Long-acre. It appeared that the
prosecutor is an auctioneer, and was holding a sale
at his auction room, in the above street, on Thursday
evening. He had two blunderbusses for sale, one
,of
w
which the prisoner, who was in the sale-room, as
observed to take in a clandestine manner, and carry
out. A gentleman, who was present, gave an alarm
t' Mr. Brooks, when Scott was instantly pursued and
taken within a few yards of the door, when he drop.
ped the blunderbuss. The prisoner said he was a tai-
lor. He was committed for further examination.
l'unteecerrs.—Themar Affarral, alias lifiutham,
and John Latham, alias Little, were brought to the
Office, charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Cal-
vert, stationer, of Shire-lane, who said, that to his
knowledge,there isgenerally about a dozen pickpockets
about Temple-bar, robbing people in the most daring
and disgraceful manner.. They contrive to evade
detection by those lion] whom they take property by
giving it to their companions, who run off through
the numerous yards • and courts in that neighbf)ur-i
hood, On Thursday evening he noticed the priso-
ners, whom he suspected to be pickpockets, in Fleet-
street; be merely. called at home, and then went on
towards the west end of 'the town, and in Carey.
street he noticed them. He could not tell whether
they were watching hien or not. He had Bank notes
to the amount of £(,),10 about him, but they being in
his inside pocket, he felt himself pretty secure as to
them. When he was proceeding through the pas-
sage leading from Clement's Inn to Clare-market, a
man and woman called to him, and said the prisoners
hkd picked his pocket ; he turned round and seized
them both by the collar, and, with assistance, search.
ed them, but could not find any of his property upon
them. However, a boy saw the prisoner Latham
dr:p a silk handkerchief from behind his coat, which
proved to be Mr. Calvert's. The prisoner Nlangliam.
alias M'Carrol, had a handkerchief tied nearly halt
over his face, which he said was for A bad eye.—
This was not ascertained, but it was suspected that
it was for the purpose of concealment. Nevertheless
Humphries.recognised him, although he gave in the
name of M4Carrol, having had him in custody for
breaking ova a shop-window in St. Martin's court.
for which he was tried the Sessions bef(xe last by the
name of Mangharn. The prisoners were committed,
fur further exaniination.

Foxes° NOTES.— Ili/limn Ricky was charged with
uttering a note, gin-pot ting to be a AM) Bank of Eng-
land note, to Mrs. .Mary Richards, of Ship-yards
Temple-bar. The prisoner went to lodge with the
prosecutrix, a few days since. He asked her to get
him changefor a £5O note, which she agreed to do,
and got it changed at a neighbour's, but she only
gave the prisoner perceivintitim to be intoxicated.
