LAM BETEL-STUEET.

Sara& Atkinson and Mary Hut net were charged by Mr. William
Tiugey with having, under the mask of hospitality, robbed him of
4501. and his peace of mind. The complainant, although to all ap-
pearance far gone "in the downhill of life," was not insensible to
the kindness of the fair sex, and accepted the invitation of thy
Ladies to one of their first rate establishments, iu the vicinage of
Chick-lane. Here he found out that his companions were active
as well as sleeping partners, and that at one fell swoop they seized
the whole capital, and affected a dissolution of the firm.

.
The fair ones were remanded for a week, at the end of which, it
is pre.-umed, the partnership accounts will b.: balanced, or the
Ladies committed as defaulters.

to the Governor of the Tread-mill, to accommodate her fur 7 days.
Yesterday two constables, followed by a multitude of persons,
applied to the sitting Magistrates under the following circumstances:
The constables stated that they had just taken into custody a
man whom they supposed to belong to the sect usually de-
signated Ranters, with which Westminster abound.. The man in
question, who said his name was satin Lewis, they found holding
forth to the multitude in front of his Majesty's Palace at Bucking-
ham Gate, exhorting his hearers in a voice of thunder to " Praise
the Loan!" sawing the air with both his hands in the most frantic
manner; they at length interfered and took him away, and since
beenhe bad in their custody his conduct had been so eau emely out-
rageous, that they thought he must either be drunk or mad, and con-
sequently not in a fit state to be brought before their Wonbips.
The Magistrates ordered him to be brought before them, when
on entering the office he exclaimed, in a voice which electrified his
hearers, " here conies a man after Gon's own heart;' and taking
off his hat he again vociferated, " this is the house of the Lotto,
praise ye his name !" and fell prostrate on the floor of the office. A
number of questions were put to him, but the only answer whirl
could be obtained was " praise the LeaD !" while the wildness of
his eye, and his vehement gestures, indicated too strongly that rea-
son bad forsaken the unhappy man; his noise at length became so
deafening that it became necessary to remove him to the lock-up
room until a medical man could be procured; he was some time
after visited by a person, one of the faculty, who informed the Ma-
gistrates that he had no hesitation in saying that the man was de-
cidedly a lunatic ; be was accordingly ordered to be taken care of
by the parish until he could be placed in an asylum for lunatics. He
appeared a middle-aged good-looking man, dressed like a mechanic,
and ,on his being searched,six and sixpence were found in his pockets.
Yesterday, Mr. Thomas rule*, landlord of the Swan public.
house, at Knightsbridge, was summoned by John Macdonald, a
private in the 12th Lancers, who, it appeared, was billetted at the
Swan. Last Thursday night he went to get a candle to go to the
stable, which was refused by the landlady; complainant then in-
quired of the defendant's son whether his father had left orders for
straw for the horses ? when he replied, that he had particular orders
from his father not to give any. lie himself then applied to Mr.
Knight, who also refused the straw. Defendant also told witness,
that if ever he caught witness cooking his victuals in the kitchen,
he would kick him out, and abused him most shamefully.
Defendant here declared that he had never denied what was re-
quired till Thursday night. Complainant had burnt so many can-
dles, that he was refused at last; but still he, Mr. Knight, was
sorry that there was a complaint for not furnishing the straw.—
Defendant meant, however, to have moved the horses into his own
stables en Thursday, and he had understood that complainant's
comrade would make the horses' beds do for that night.
Mr. Gartman—This is a very Important case. You have cer-
tainly done wrong upon your own Mewing, and I shall fine you in
the sum of five pounds and costs.
Lieutenant Dewes, of his Majesty's Royal Lancers, who had
entered the room during the case, observed, that as the barracks
would shortly be repaired, it was necessary not to have the men
billetted off the highway, as from the nature of their duty, they
were required to be within call for the purpose of carrying off dis-
patches; the reason why the Colonel of the regiment had pressed
the present case, was on account of the abuse the men received.
Mr. Knight still entreated a mitigation of the penalty, as the
present, he said, was his first offence.
After some consultation with Lieutenant Dewes, the defendant
was fined in the mitigated sum of 31. and costs.
