Queen-roues:tr.—Tut TAxLs a Tea tcro.—A mkts exam!-
nation took place at this Office, atisiog out of the following tX-
traordinary circumstances:—James Moore, of Northeud, Wel-
ham-green, plaisterer, having a few days etto bad a dispute with
two men of the sante place, named John lirice and John '
words ran to such a height that at last they came to blows, and
to use their own phraseology, the et:iliest was, that Moore gave',
theia both a good Lirry. Ihe two beaten heroes accordingly
obtained an assault warrant each against their conqueror, and inn
was taken into custody by Pace, tile officer, on one, and by Sot-
there, an extra constable, on the other. When brought to the
Office the assault WAS completely proved itton him, and when
asked what he had to say in defence ? Defendant boldly an-
swered, that it was no disgrace to give a man a iirßeg, but he
defied any one to say he was a gie. Now he knew both these
plaintiffs, as well as some others of their parish, to be thieves,
and one of the plaintiffs. John Boulton, was the common receiver,
and bought every thing winch all the rest lend—for they were
all known to be kerns. Being asked what it was he knew Bout-
ton had received? he said the truth should come out, and he was
determined to give them a" Rowland for their Oliver," and po-
sitivOy charged them with robbing the garden of Mt. Jeplis, a
Gentleman #siding at Walhans.gresii, rat several bushels of valu-
able apples, called French pippins, for the discovery ni which
robbery a reward of six guineas was die next day cried about
U'alhamireen and the whole perish of Fulham by the Be.t..te ,
thereof. Moore being then sworn, sta ed, that about this nine
twelve-month, as lie was going home from the Crown public-
Louse, in passing by Mr. lephs' garden, he heard the shaking of
the tree; he got on the wall, and saw tin- Plaintiff and John:
it; company with Thomas Bury and Wm; Boultots, both of the
same Lettish, shaking apples front the said tree, to the amount of
several bushels. as be thought. '1 hey put them into a sack, tied
took them to the cottage ea a man named Lame Jock; who is
since dead; they were met there by the plaintiff, John Boohoo,
who purchased the whole Wt fur 24d. per dozen. Being asked
how he knew this, he answered, that he got a short ladder, and
looked over the top of the window shutter, where he could see
and hear all that passed, without being seen by them. The above
stun was the price fixed by plaintiff, Bike, and agreed to, and
paid afterwards by plaintiff, John houltoo. The mode of ascer-
taming the emotes, he said, was as follows t—Wheu they came
to a dozen, they put the twelve apples apart by themselves. and
con:lotted to proceed till the whole were counted ; and when this
was finished, there were left on the table taS apples, which
*hewed the number of dozens. He saw also on the table a one
pound note, and several shillings In silver, which plaintiff, John
Bonin:on, paid to plaiittiff, John Brice, and which wauess sup-
posed was the price of the whole. The apples on that true were
well khown in the ueighbourhood to have a very superior flavour,
and were, lie believed, words a great deal stare.—Some of the
parties nut being in custody, the prisoners were remanded for
wither examination.-1 he Magistrate desired that proper notice
should be given to Mr. Jrpha, of the prisoners being in 1 othill.
fields Bridewell. and it Is supposed this unexpected discovery may
be the means of leading to others, which may tend to relieve the
apprehensions of those living in that unfortunate neighbaurhood,
in which it appears, by repeated examinations at this llikeonore
depredations In the articles of fruit and valuable plants have taken
place within the last six months, than almost all the other quarters
round London put together.

fur possession, that such broker tae other person shall he suliji ct
to the payment of three time the amount of such overcharge,
together with costs." llse debt in this case was but £9 Its. the
possession two days, and the demand instead of as. 265. ad. The
taets being most sanstactonly proved, the broker was ordered to
pay the lull penalty, amounting to to 111. 6d. And costs.

Sunday night the lodge of Moreden-hall, Surrey,
was broken open by a gang of villains, and a large
quantity of linen, apparel, &c. stolen.
At six o'clock on Sunday evening a Gentleman
was hustled by a daring gang, facing the end of
Shoe-lane, Holborn, and his watch, with gold chain
and appendages, forcibly taken out of his pocket ;
and although many persons were passing at the time,
the villains effected their escape.
Tuesday morning the house of Mr. Warrea,isign
of the Magpie and Punch Bowl, Fenctiurcli-street,
was entered from the back-kitchen, the bar door forced
open, and the till robbed of £7B in Bank notes.
Monday, a person of the name of Keith, who keeps
a public.houre in Exeter, was apprehended, for hav-
ing in his possession counterfeit three.shilling tokens
and shillings, to the amount 'of upwards of 8200..,.:
Two men, his companions, are also in custody.
Monday se'nnight, the Recker coach, which runs
between that place and Bedale, meeting the Leeds
and other coaches at Northallerton, arrived on its re.
turn to Redcar, without any driver ; and when the
circumstances of the case are related, the escape of
the coach-passengers must be considered as nairacn-
ious indeed. At some distance from Guishorough,
the passengers (an elderly Lady, and the Rev. Mr.
C. CLAPHAM), perceiving the coach went at an un-
rl usually slow rare, called out to the driver, but he
was not at his post. He had dropped off, somewhatintoxicated, i
ntoxicated, but was able to resume his seat, and con-
tinued to drive on for several miles. A diff.reut
spirit was, however, soon manifested by the epii rte.!
nags: the passengers found themselves proceeaing at
a furious rate : the driver was again absent, but no.
thing but the course adopted could, perhaps, have
saved their lives. The female was greatly alarmed;'
but Mr. CLAPHAM, with great caution and coolness.
let down the windows, and exhorted his fellow pas-1
Kroger to sit still. In this way the horses draggedl
the vehrele, at a furious rate, for above two mil: s,
along a bridge only wide enough to allow a sin;;:.
carriage to Pau'--rnak;ng several dangerous turns,
and actually arrived sate in the Inn-yard, at Red-
car, without the slightest • to the pa:tenger:4
horses, or coach.

Gluten SAILING MATCH —II•ItTHFU PART:CT:LAU.
—On 'Tuesday evening, the eregant Cup given by
the Gentlemen of the London Yacht Club WAS sailed
for by the following Plea,ure Boats, steered by the
owners, or Gentlemen of their noni.natioh, viz. Wa.
teflon, Captain Metes;; Mermaid, Captain G. GVN-
ETON ; Produce, Captain Wneetie, nominated by gr.
NETTLF.FAD, the oVilivl ; Spitfire, CiptAttr Bras.
WORTH; Ludluw, Captain A. Lynx ; Atalanta,
Captain HUBERT ; and Petrel, Captain IX. Hoer.
'Else boats were started by Commisciure Nt:lTLErotn,
from Blackfriars 13i iJge, at 5 P.M. with a fresh ereeze
at E. S. E. The Waterloo endeavoured to weather
the Petrel, Produce, and Atalanta, but tailed, and
fell to leeward ; tie! whole of the boats were nearly
together at Waterloo Bi id.e. In Westminster reach
the Mermaid headed ail the boats, and continued to
leave them. The Mernisie, 1..u.i10w, and Pachluce,
passed round the beat at Wandsworth, within three
Orsinutes of each and here ail the boats were
nearly together ; the flood tide mining, and
the wind being foul, in turning elf Wandiwurtb Cteek,
the Ludlow and Produce came in contact, by which
they were retina d ten minutes, and this gave
Atalanta,
the Petrel,
decided
ad-
vantage, and they passed them. The Mermaid and
Waterloo were then the headiriost boats; the Water-
loo gained fast upon the Mermaid, and came close
under her stem. The wind then freshened, and these
two boats got down to Battersea Bi idge betoa high
water ; and, in attempting to shoot that bridge, they
both lost their way, and gut athwart the weather
piers of the bridge, as did the Ludlow. This cistern.
stance decided the wager, as the Petrel wisely passed
through a more southerly arch, whilst the Watetloo
and Mermaid were foul of the bridge, and was after.
wards unmolested, and entered at Cumberland Ger-
dens first, closely followed by the Ludlow and Pro-
duce. The for tunate Captain was chaired round
Cumberland Gatdens. aniehit the hearty cheering of
a numerous and slegant assemblage of well-dressed
persons, preceded• by a military band, pla7ing the
air of " See the conquering hero comes." The Fr:•
sentation of the cup took place immediately after.
wards by a numerous meeting of the London Yacht
Club. The evening was spent in the utmost hilarity,
and many excellent duets and glees were sung. The
Waterloo, Mermaid, Petrel, and Produce, are to sail
again on Saturday next, from Blackwell to Crave.
