Monday, an accident occurred at the gas station'
Dublin, occasioned by the falling of a temporary'
scaffolding which had been erected over the retort•
house, for the purpaie of attaching a roof thereto,
There were about twenty workmen, mostly carpen-
ters, on the scaffolding at the time it fell. Fourteen
have been injured by the accident, some very dread,
fully. They were all carried to the Hospital.
Monday night, about nine o'clock, as two Ladies)
residing in Cross-street, Islington, were going along
the City-road, they were attacked by three boys, who
robbed them of their reticules, containing various ar-

tides of jewellery, &c.
Tuesday night, Mr. EDWARD CtiAMBERLAYIO4 red.
siding in Huston, was robbed near his own house by
two fellows, of his watch and seals.
Tuesday night, a Gentleman was attacked In the
fields near the Rosemary Branch, at Hoxton, by
three or four fellows, who robbed him -of his hat and
umbrella. _ _ _

Wednesday se'nnight, a deserter from cne of his
Majesty's Regiments, who was in the county prison,
at Northallerton, on hearing that an escort of soldiesS
had arrived to take him away the following morning,
chopped off two fingers of his right hand, but, note
withstanding, he was marched off for the Isle of
Wight next day.
. Saturday night, Mr. SMART, a linen-draper, in
Deansgate, Manchester, shut up his shop at twelve
o'clock ; and having secured, as he thought, the pre.
mi es, retired to read the newspaper. Between one
and two o'clock on Sunday morning, he was alarmed
at hearing the latch of the door gently lifted up, and
immediately the door was opened, and he beheld two
young men, one of whom said—" Don't alarm your.
self." Mr. SMART replied, he thought there was
cause for alarm, and rushed towards him, when the
other drew a joiner's chisel from his breast, and
struck him several times in the face and on the head.
Mr. SMART was so much hurt that he fell backwards
on a sofa in the room, when the villains escaped, at
the time the females of the house were screaming
" Murder!" through the chamber window. The
watchman came, but too late. An iron crow, a pair
of short boots, and a hat, were left behind. Owing
to the vigilance of the officers of the police, the two
prisoners were apprehended in a house of ill fame, on
Tuesday night.
A shocking murder was committed in Caroline County (Fre.
dericksburgh), about the 20th of September, by three men, who
got into the house of an old man of the name of Coats, whose.
family consisted, besides himself, of a maiden sister, an old wo.
man, and three Negro children ; all of whom had retired to rest.
The assassins commenced an indiscriminate attack on the whole
family, cutting and stabbing with knives and other sharp instru-
ments, and mangling in the most shucking manner the bodies of
Mr. Coats, his sister, and the old woman who lived in the house,
while in their beds, and dangerously wounding two of the •N..
groes ; the third, who escapes' with less injury, though severely
cut, was the first to give the alarm. On the neighbours repair..
lug to the spot, a horrid spectacle presented itself to their view;
five mangled bodies lay groaning and bleeding on their beds, but
the murderers had fled. Mr. Coats was lying in a senseless state;
his sister, and the oldwoman who had lived with him, were
dead, and the rest of the wounded not expected to recover.
We think it would save BISH a vast sum of money
annually, if he only advertised when lie did not see
a Capital; for every one knows that when a Lottery
is drawing, his Offices are most conspicuous: we sup.
pose, however, from his long experience, that he
knows best. Perhaps, if he followed our advice, he
would be ruined by his good luck; for were he only
to advertise when he was not successful, he would
never advertise at all. Everybody knows, on the
first day of the present Lottery he sold all the four
principal Capitals drawn. What he will do Nroer
TUESDAY, time will shew.
ELEGANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &c.—The No.
bility and Gentry are invited to inspect the Ware,
rooms of COOPER and Sow, 93, Bishopsgate-street

second-hand Plate Glasses, admirably suited to every -
descriptio*f drawing or dining-rooms. In the fur.
niture department is comprised every new and ele-
gant article of upholstery, cabinet, and chair-work,
the prices of which are reduced to such a scale of
economy as to attract and ensure the patronage of
rank and fashion.
Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the Plough, on Kendal.
green, near Paddington, on the body of Martha, daughter of Mr.
Saunders, of that place, who, in the absence of her mother, got
.to a cupboard in which was a quantity of powder intended to
be used for the purpose of poisoning flies, of which she ate sup..
posing it to be sugar, and which, notwithstanding medical aid,
caused her death the same day.—Verdict accordingly.
CORN EXCHANGR, MARL-LANE, Nov. 16.—We have had but
few arrivals of any Grain since Monday, still there is a large
quantity of Wheat at market, which remained over from that
day's supply; but the demand continuing small only the flirt.*
samplei can be disposed of, yet there is no alteration in prices.
Fine Malting Barley met ready sale today, on full as good
terms as on Monday, but there wea.c• no buyers of the interior
qualities. Fine old Oats are rather dealer' in consequence of
short arrivals; but those of this year's growth, as well as new
Beans, are Is. per quarter cheaper. In other articles little or no
variation.

L 11V INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 15.
TABEDT V. TENANT AND NESBITT.
Mr. H tvr, for the plaintiff, moved for an injunc-
tion to retrain the defendants from putting to sea
the ship Aloha, at present lying hi the port of Lon-
don. The plaintiff was the owner of 3-Bths of the
ship, and the defendants were the owners of the re-
maining 5-Stlis. The shin was formerly commanded
by the plaintiff, but Nesbitt had now transferred the
command of the vessel to the other defendant Tenant.
The defendants had lately put new upper works on
the ship, which the plaintiff' was convinced she could
not carry, on account of the rotten state of her hull,
and they were about to send her on a voyage which
the plaintiff conceived she was not capable of per-
forming. By AIM! ahy law, if a part-owner of a
ship was unwiling that the vessel should proceed on
a voyage, the ether parv•owner or owners had a right
to carry her out, but at their own risk. All that the
plaintiff desire.!, theiefore, was, that the defendants
might be restrained from
.putting the ship to sea un-
til they had furnished him with an indeninity for the
risk of the voyage.
The LORD Cuaeczehon granted the ir.junction.'
VleFaCtiaNcai.Lolt'S COURT, NOVEIIIBEXI6.
HEARNE V. eatanarox..
This was a bill filed lry the residuary legatee, pray-
lag for it certain sum of money as included in his
legacy. The testator bad given certain specific le-
gacies, and then directed that all his other effects
Should he sold, and the produce given to the plain-
tiff. After pa yine:a of all legacies, there remained
a sum of money, besides saleable effects. The clues.
tion was, whether money, which in its nature was
not saleaEa, was conveyed by the expression " all
other effects to be ~o 1,1?"
• The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, That he could only
decide by construction, and by•acting upon the most
probaule view of the testator. Money was not in-
chided in the expression " effects to be sold," but the
testator having made a will, it could not.be held that
his poverty was to be disposed of as if he had died
intestate. What had been saleable effects when the
testator had made his e ill, might have become money
at the time of his death. Upon this construction the
money was part of the residuary legacy. No limita-
tion could be ghee to die team " effects" as used in
the will. The prayer of the billwas thereforegranted,t
but the costs are to be taken out of the estate.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 15.
THE KING V. HENRY COLLINS.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the judgment of
the Court upon the above defendant, convicted at
the last Sussex Assizes of an assault upon Thomas,
Sisarshaw.
The circumstances of the quarrel had no interest.
Mr. Collins (who has been a Lieutenant in the
Navy) produced cc: tificates of his service for sirteens
years, :said put in affidavits to the general temperance
and p.-aceablehess of his demeanour. He said that
he had been unable, from want of money, to employ
Counsel at the trial ; and declared that (hut for the
absence of a material witness) he should have proved
the first attack to have proceeded from Mr. Sparshaw.
The Soxterron-Getreaae spoke shortly in aggra-
vation. It appeared that Mr. Sparshaw had for-
merly acted as purser on board the same vessel in
which the defendant had served. Mr. Collins had
since been dismissed from the navy, and out of that
dismission his mashy to Mr. Sparshaw was supposed
to have arisen,
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, after a brief admonition, sen-
tenced the defendant to three mouths imprisonment
in the coated) of the Marshal of the Marshalsea; at
the expiration of that time to find securities for his
good behaviour during five years, himself in £lOO,
and two other persoas in C5O each.
THE KING V. GEORGE ii liE.
This was an information filed by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL against George Here for libel.
The Sohletron-GENERAL moved the judgment of
the Court; but
Mr. COOPER obtained leave that the case should
stand over, the affidavits of the defendant being irre-
gularly sworn.—Judgment deferred.
THE KING V. MARY ANN CARLIER.
This was an indictment preferred by the Society
for the Suppression of Vice, for the publication of a
blasphemous libel. The defendant (who is a sister of
Mr. Caraile) was tried in July last, before Mr..histice
Br;T, at Guildhall. The Jury found a verdict of
Guil~y.
Mr. Gunner now moved the judgment of the
Court.—No affidavits were put in on either side.
Mr. COOPER (who appeared for thedefendaut) sub-
pitted that it was for Mr. Gurney to begin.
Mr. GURNEY submitted that his Learned Friend
was mistaken.
Mr. JusticeßATLev.—Where judgment goes by
default, the prosecutor opens, because he has to state
the facts to the Court ; but where the facts have been
before a Jury, and where a verdict is found, it is for
the defendant to begin.
Mr. COOPER then addressed the Bench in mitiga-
tion. No one, he said, held in higher reverence than
lie did the purest religion which had ever spread its
doctrines over the earth, but no man on earth could
feel less apprehension of danger to that religion from
efforts like those of the defendant. The judgment
which their Lordships were about to deliver would,
Lint (Mr. Cooper was sure) be in any degree inflamed
by the contagion of that general odium which at-
tached to the defendant's family ; but there was some
danger, perhaps, that her sentence might be affected
by an exaggerated view of the danger to be dreaded
from her canduct. He begged, with humility, to
remind the Court, that I'orteus, Watson, Lardner,
and a hundred other!, all the warmest champions of
the Christian religion, had deprecated prosecution
against those who impugned it : he would refer their
Lordships to the severe penalties which the family of
Carlik sere already suffering in support of their opi-
liana; and he trusted that the firmness with which
those persons bunt their punishment would at least be
taken as evidence of the sincerity of their feelint;.
Mr.GURNZIC (in aggravation) felt it unnecessary to
detain their Lordships one moment with cournients
twice the character of the libel in question. Upon
the conduct of the defendant, few words would be
eutficiem. Whatever might be said as to sincerity of
• opinion, be (Mr. Gurney) believed gain,-sordid gain,
W be the atimuiluing motive which had led her into
Four distinct individuals—Carlile, his wife,

his shopman, and his sister--had been taken,one
after another, from the shop in Fleet- street ; they had
first been !Nought to trial, and subsequently to punish-
ment. Penalty, it appeared, excited the defiance ofl
Carlile's family, instead of operating upon them asi
example ; the arm of offence was insolently set up
and pitted against the arm of law ; but the sentence
of the Court (Mr. (iur:my trusted) • would prove to
the world, that however offence might prevail for a
time, the am of law, in the long run, was the stronger.
Mr. Justice llavLee (after deliberating with his
Learned Brothers) pronounced the sentence of the
Court nearly in the following terms Mary Ann
ICarlile, you stand here to receive the judgment of
the Court, for a libel reflecting upon the Old and
New Testaments. Every subject of Great Britain is
entitled to hold whatever opinions he pleases; but
none can be allowed to impeach established faith, or
to endeavour to unsettle the belief of others. Your
Counsel, in his very judicious address to the Court,
has treated your opinions as erroneous; and I believe
that every man who thinks upon the subject will,
come, sooner or later, to the same conclusion. For
myself, I can only say that, after much deliberation
and research, such is the conclusion at which I have,
arrived. The Court has no fears for the safety of the,
Christian Religion. It does not believe that the rock I
upon which Christianity stands can ever be shaken
by exertions like yours. But the Court has a duty
to perform to society : to the poor, who have not the
means of examination ; and to the young, who may
neglect to use the means. To those persons, whose,
greatest enemy you are, the Court is boost(' to give
ats•protectionz the example of your family has not
deterred you from offending; and it would be dread-
ful indeed if, for your particular profit, you could be
allowed to poison the minds of a whole community.
The Court, taking into consideration the circum-
stances of your case, does order and adjudge, that
you, Mary Ann Carlile, do pay to the King a fine
of £500; that you be imprisoned in Dorchester Jail
for a period of twelve months ; that, at the expira-
tion of that time, you do find sureties for your good
behaviour during five years, yourself in £lOOO, and
two other persons in £lOO each; and that you be far=
ther imprisoned until your fine he paid, god your
sureties provided."—The defendant left the Court in
the custody of the proper officer.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. F. Pou.ocs moved for a Iluleto shew cause
why a criminal information should oot be filed against
certain Burgesses of the town of•Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The application proceeded from the Mayor, Town
Clerk, Bailiffs, and certain Aldermen of the Borough;
and it was founded upon the facts stated iu the fol-
lowing affidavit:
The Corporation of Berwick-upon-Tweed having
leased certain tolls in the neighbourhood of the town,
a Guild was held for the purpose of putting the cot-
porate seal to the lease, and also in order to the ad-
mission of certain Burgesses to their freedom. In
the course of the day, Holmes and Jefferies (two of
the parties against whom the Rule was prayed) in-
terrupted the business of the Meeting by outcries and
violent conduct ; and, when the seal was about to be
affixed to the lease, they rushed into a part of the Hall
called " the Bench," appropriated to the Magistrates,
prevented the ceremony of sealing, and threatened',
to tear the lease and put it into the fire. The Mayor,'
finding it impossible to restore order, dissolved the
Guild ; when Holmes, and a person named Burgess,
assaulted the Town Cle:t, tore open his coat in search
of the obnoxious lease, and (not finding it) attempted
to throw the Town Clerk and the Mayor over the'
balustrades of the Hall staircase.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought there was sue-
cient stated to warrant the granting a Rule.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER IL
The Court sat at Westminster till past twelve
o'clock, but no case of any public interest occurred.'
Mr. Justice PARK went at one o'clock to Guildhall
to hear Nisi Prins cases. The following was the
only one worth notice:
RICHARDSON V. LAMB.

This was an action of trover to recover possession
of certain articles, the alleged property of the plain-
tiff, and said to be illegally detained in the possession
of the defendant. The articles were a Gentleman's
dressing-case, splendidly fitted up with silver gilt
ornaments, and valued at £160; also a silver ink-
stand, value £4O.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated, that the plaintiff
had been an officer in the army, and from embarrass-
ments had been obliged to take the benefit of the In-
solvent Act. Before that time the articles were his,
and had been ordered for him by a Mrs. Mesteir;
in fact, the action was brought for the benefit of
his creditors.
Mr. Cox proved that he had called on Mr. Lamb
(one of the partners of Wells and Lamb, of Cock-
spur-street) to see some dressing-cases, and was by
him shewn the one in question, as the one belonging
to the plaintiff. On a subsequent occasion defendant
admitted the property to belong to plaintiff in the
presence of witness and plaintiff's wife. Witness fur-
ther stated, that he had taken a notice to the de-
fendant to deliver the articles, and that defendant
then refused, alleging that he had a demand ofl
£lBO for them.
On his cross-examination witness denied that the
plaintiff had ever told him that he was the son of a
Mrs. Mesteir, or that his mother was a Princess.—
Heard that the articles in question were purchased
for the plaintiff by Mrs. Mes:eir, and were charged
by defendant to Mrs. Mesteir's account.
The next witness was Mr. Hague, who stated that
he was Solicitor to Mrs. Mesteir, the residuary le- I
'gatee of the late Mr. Mesteir. He proved that he
had called on the defendant Lamb, for the purpose
of arranging any accounts between Mrs. Mesteir and
him. On this occasion lie presented an account
which had been sent by Lamb to Mrs. Mesteir, in
which the dressing-case and the ink-stand had been
charged to her. Witness remonstrated against this,
and said, that the articles ought to be charged to
Mr. Richardson, but Mr. Lamb pen i ,ted in declaring
them to have been sold on Mrs. Nlesteir's credit.
This was the plaintiff's case.—For the defence,
Mr. Serjeant LENS contended that no sufficient
evidence was called to support the plaintiff's claim.
He would admit that Mrs. Mesteir had ordered the
articles for Mr. Richardson, but he should be able to
prove, that pursuant to order they had .been sent to
Mr. Mesteir's house; that in two or three days after-
wards Mr. Richardson called, and having been told
that the articles were sent to Mr. Mesteir's, he said

he was sorry for ; that. Mr. Mesteir was dead, and
that it was not likely they could be paid for them,
but he begged of Lan.b to send for the dressing-
case, and keep it until he (Mr. Richardson) could
pay for it. If this should be proved in evidence, -he
contended that it' would destroy the case set up on
the other side; for even admitting that the original
purchaser had been Mrs. Mesteir for Mr. Richardson,
yet the subsequent Aquest of Mr. Richardson to keep
the things until he could pay for them, would render
him liable for them. He then called
-- Lamb, the nephew and shopman of the de-
fendant, who proved the conversation of whkli the
Learned Serjeant had spoken.
On his cross-examination he said Mrs. Mesteir had
ordered the dressing-case. She said it was for her
son. He admitted that credit had been given in Mr.
Richardson's account for £lB for the ink•stand.
Mr.,Corry was the next witness, who said he was
appointed an assignee to the plaintiff, on his having
taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. He had given
no consent to the bringing of the•present action.
The plaintiff's Agent here stated, that the witness
was not appointed assignee till after the present action
had been commenced.
Mr. Justice Paint summed up to the Jury. He
observed, that there could be no doubt whatever that
the articles in question were- the property of Mr.
Richardson, for it was clear on all hands that this
Lady, Mrs. Mesteir, had ordered them to be given
as a present (for some reason or another) to the plain-
tiff; but the question which the Jury had to try was,
whether Mr. Richardson had not given the defendant
a lien on the article, by telling him to keep it until
he (plaintiff) could pay for it? Utile Jury believed
evidence on this point, it would make the case diffe-.
rent, and they would find for the defendant : if on
the other hand, they would find for the plaintiff; but
the whole was a question of credit due to the parties.
The Jury, after consulting for a short time, found
a verdict for the plaintiff—bamagesi.:l7B, the value
of the dressing-case and ink-stand.
•
GUILDHALL—The final decision of tie questionl
between the City Liberty of the Palish of St. Andrew,
Holborn, and the Inhabitants of Thavies Inn, relative
to the liability of the latter to be assessed to the rates
for the relief of the poor of that Liberty, took place
yesterday before the Aldermen C. SMITH and Cox,
who were assisted in their determination by the City
Solicitor, in addition to their usual legal adviser, Mr.
PAYNE, the Magistrates Clerk. After hearing the
parties, the Magistrates withdrew with their -legal
advisers into the parlour, and on their return into
the Office, Mr. Alderman C. SMITH said, that he and
his brother Magistrate had entered fully into the con-
sideration of the question, and Mr. PAYNE, the Clerk,
would read their decision upon it. Mr. PAYNE then
read from his minutes the decision, to the following
effect:—" That the Magistrates having taken into
consideration the evidence brought forward, and the
arguments adduced, entertained great doubt whether
Thavies Inn is liable to be assessed to the poor-rate,
and do not, under all the circumstances, think them-
selves justified in granting the warrant against Mr.
Fraser."
Mancoortouon-STREET.—lnformation was given
yesterday of a young man of genteel but sickly ap-
pearance having passed a number of £lO notes to
different Gentlemen in the medical profession. Dr.
Gregory, of Great Portland-street, stated that the
man in question called upon him, saying that he la-
boured under severe indisposition, and wished for ad.
vice. After relating the symptoms of his disorder,
the Doctor wrote him a prescription, for which he
tendered a £lO note; but the Doctor not having
change in the house, desired him to call again. Dr.
Gregory, shortly after, understood that the sick man
had passed a £lO forged note to a neighbouring Sur-
' geon, and got the change. It was then ascertained
that the practice has been very general, and a de-
scription of the offender has been taken.
MARY-LA-BONNE Oretce.—Yesterday a man of
the name of Samuel Patmore underwent a second
examination before JOHN Rawtansos:, Esq. the sit-
ting Magistrate, on suspicion of having robbed seve-
ral churches of various property. He was remanded
for a week.
BOW•STREET.—Yesterday, J. Towers was charged
with attempting to defraud Mr. Sparkes, a draper,
in Southampton-street, Strand, of two silk handker-
chiefs. The prisoner went to the shop in the name
of Mrs. Spat kes's laundress for the articles ; observing,
that she could not quit her home, as her son had fits,
and could not be left. Unfortunately for him, how-
ever, she had within a few minutes quitted the shop;
he was thetefore taken into custody. In defence, he
said, that, as he did not get the goods, he had no
right to be detained; but the Magistrate differing
from him in opinion, committed him for trial.
Mr. Messer, of High Holborn, gave information,
that as he was walking on the Hampstead-road, he
*as surrounded by a set of ruffians who were hunt-
ing an cot, one of whom snatched his watch and ap-
pendages, worth £BO. He seized the fellow, who
struck him several times in the stomach, and Pt
length got away, but not till Mr. Messer had torn
off the flap of his coat. He made another effort to
secure the villain, but was tripped up by some of his
confederates, and the fellow eventually escaped.
Alexander Bowers was brought in late on Wednes-
day evening, charged by Dallas, the street-keeper,
with disorderly behaviour in the Strand. This worthy
was clad in female apparel—a white muslin gown,
with a multiplicity of frills and frippery round his
neck, beneath a pair of enormous jet-black whiskers,
and a chin of the same colour. Dallas stated, that
he found him in this trim haranguing a mob of nearly
two hundred people, in the Strand, between five and
six o'clock that evening ; that as there was a ,
consi-
derable tumult, he considered it his duty to take him
linto custody ; and that, as he was bringing him to
Ithe Office, he said, " If the Magistrate has dipped
deeper into the law than I have, -he must be a d—d
clever fellow."—The Magistrate, who seemed to
think he was mad, asked why he dressed himself so
I ridiculously ?
" Merely for a frolic," replied the prisoner, in a strong sylla-
bic and sepulchral tone.
" Slow Innz have you been seized in this strange way?"

saw Rolls get on the shoulder of Walton, and from
thence into the first-floor window of the prosecutor's
house, and, after remaining there ler some time, lie
descended by the same means. The alarm was gives,
and the three prisoners were appzeliended, all n
diem having been seen acting in conceit together
the same court. Oa one of them was found an ir.
chisel, with which a box in the room had ben
broken open, and a watch taken front it, which wa
also found in their possession.
A Gentleman of respectability preferred a charge
against an officer attending the Coburg Theats tefor mis
conduct In icing out of the following circures•ances:—
Titesday evening the Gentleman, acconicanied lq
his Lady, went to the boxes of the Theacie, and re.
mained there undisturbed till nearly the ciose of the
performance. In the last act of the evening's enure
tainment, one of the box-keepers desired his Lade ts
take off her bonnet, but on its being repreented that
she was an invalid, and that it would he attended
with an inconvenience to her, the request was net
pressed, and the person retired. Shortly afterwards
the principal attendant on the boxes came and ne
newed the application, and the same reason was gives
why it could not be complied with. On this reply
being made, it was alleged that he was assailed wit
language highly derogatory to a Gentleman, aad
threatened to be taken forcibly out of the Theatre.
He left the box, and on reaching the saloon, theta-
cer. now charged was about to handcuff him, rat-
withstanding he had proposed to leave his name and
address, if the Proprietors of the Theatre thought
proper to institute any proceedings against him.—
Mr. Rorauer, the box-keeper, and the mine: Wing
spectators, however, interfered, and he was die
charged on leaving his card.—The officer admitted
that be hadlaken out the handcuffs, but not till after
the complainant had manifested a disposition to be
turbulent, and did actually throw him nearly across
the saloon. The accuser was not handcuffed, and,
at Mr. Rorauer's desire, he was discharged.—Mr.
Rorauer, on behalf of the Proprietors of the Theatre,
related that one of the under box-keepers had per-
mitted the Gentleman and his Lady to occupy seats
in the dress circle, on the condition that the 14
would take off her bennet. After- a consideralk
lapse of time, it was observed that the primed
not been attended to, and a message was sent daft
was against the regulations of the Theatre to de
bonnets to be worn in the dress boxes; an emits
made to the messenger, and Mr. Rorauer heed
went to the Gentleman, and politely 'minded ks
of his engagement, and at the same time offered*
the accommodation of a private box. The proposi
was rejected, and he was certainly told that hist*
duct was unlike that of a Gentleman, and 'battle
rules of the Theatre would be enforced. The dress
stances before related then took place ; but he was
berated on giving his name and address, the object
being solely to maintain propriety in the Theatre.—
Mr. CIIANIBERX said, that it appeared that time G
tleman who had the management of the boxesbad
been very desirous of affording every accommode
tion which, under the circumstances, he could, ael
the complainant bad been admitted into the drew
boxes under a stipulation, which he thought Fea
per afterwards not to abide by, and to set himself
up in opposition to the regulations of the house:m
better way was to turn such persons out of tie
Theatre.—The charge was dismissed. •
