MA RYA A..BONNE.

William Young. driver of a Paddington stagecoach, was charged
with wanton and furians driving.
The cue was proved by David Montagne, Eq. of Sessez-place,
Regent's Park, who saw the defendant racing with Mien, another
coachman, in the New-road, on the 15th inst. and, to get Winn
him, drive furiously through the wrong, or off-side gate, of Battle.
Bridge turnpike.
The defendant said his horses were not galloping.
" Not both of them, I admit," replied Mr. Montague " bet one
of them was trotting at the rate of fifteen miles an boor, and the
other galloping to keep up with it. I drive a groat deal in the New-
road, and am surprised so few accidents happen, for you Padding-
ton coachmen pay no respect to the right side of the road."
" And can nothing about life and limb," added Mr. Grimm.
He was fined 10s. and threatened with a much heavier penalty
in future, if be repeated the offence.
Thomas Maly, a journeyman baker, was charged with embez-
zling monirt belonging to Mr. John Mills, of Edgewarocoad, his
matter.

This appeared to be an aggravated we, and the Magistrate cons.
mended Mr. Mill's determinatioo to prosecute as an example to
others, and fully committed the prisoner for triaL

Charles Chevaliers was charged at the instance of the parish of-
ken of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, with a violent assault upon

PRIVILY:OEII OF TIM WATIMISIN'III COMTANT.--YrSterdly an in.
formation was exhibited by Mr. Itule, master of the Swiftsure
steamer, against Mews. Barnes and Poster, owners of the new
Gravesend packet the Sophia and Jane, for plying for passengers
without being licensed by Inc Uatermen's Company.
I'ovey, from the Custom House, showed the Registry of
the vessel.

Mr. Jones, clerk to the Watennen's Company, proved that Mr.
Barnes was not a freeman of that Company.—ln his cross-examina-
tion by Mr. Ryland, he denied the possibility of the name of any
person applying fur his freedom being omitted by mistake.
A per.on in the employ of Rule proved having, oe the 19th of
August, paid at Purfieet 2s. 6d. for his passage from London by the
Sophia and Jane, in which he went to Gravesend.
Mr. Ryland having taken a preliminary objection to the mode
in which the defendants, not being freemen, was proved, pro-
ceeded to prove that the Sophia and Jane was not of that descrip-
tion which the Legislature contemplated should come within
the jurisdiction of the Company. If this veisei were con-
sidered of that denomination, the Company might with equal
propriety demand that every vessel sailing out of the flame-,
no matter where his destination, should have a freeman of their
Company for its Master. The terms used in the Act were,
" wherries, fiat boats, barges, lighters, and other craft ;" but not a
single word was said about steam or other sailing vessels. Tee
Sophia and Poe was a ship propelled by steam, for the coasting and
foreign trade, and be contended she could not be considered as
' coming within the denomination sought for. In the course et ar-
gument, be took a review of the clauses of the Company's Act,
which, he declared, never would have been granted if such a ma-
strolls power as that now sought for was claimed.
After some farther conversation, Mr. Bitoosair adjourned the
case for one week, when be would give his opinion.
UNION—HALL.

John Simmonds, a seaman, lately discharged from the King's
service, was yesterday charged with stealing a silver watch sad
some money, the property of Maurice Rowland. On Saturday
night the prosecutor and prisoner occupied an apartment at a public-
house in Charles-street, Newington. The following morning at an
early hour the prosecutor missed his property. The landlord searched
the room, and under the prisoner's bed the watch was found, and
some giver in his pocket. The prisoner denied in the most 'ottani
manner having touched the property. Mr. Hong told him that the
case must go before a Jury, and committed the Frisoner tut trial.
