BLACK INGRATITtioE.—A young Of the far south) with a
countenance beaming with an 4boolithre 'which might shame,
the shining gloss 'produced by ;Day and Marlin, was placed be-
fore-the ufagistrates, charged, by a somewhat oldet niitive of
the clime with having cheated him. It was difficult to say
which was the blackest. They ,presented the very beau,qeal of
beamitig' hright, beautiful blackness; as Milton says, " braCk
they stood as night." On being asked for the charge, the Coin-
'gamut surd, "Massa Magistrate, dat nigger 'boy defy, him
'bout a town' berry badly off, oh berry! Him got nothing for
yarn, him no clothes 'for a Vack, him nothing for de but a;beg.

berry!" The defendant did not deny the charge, but said that
he had come from America to Liverpool, inthe ship John Jay,
about four months ago since when'fie had been mearty destt-
'tote. He 'had earned ; a few pence .he 'said, occasiorlly, by
wheeling coals, but this had been' very' precarious. Ito ma-.
gistrateS, "coMpassionating his 'case, discharged Min, with an
order that he should' be taken'to'the AaterieauConsul;who was
to be informed of his situation.

A DUMB AlASTEB.—Willialrl Dyke, who stated that. he was
an'apprentice to a cork-cutter, appeared tO..verify a
.cotnPlAiris
'against two other apprentices to the same business. Tlie cum-'
plainaut stated, that.he went with .a,ffriend into a ptiblic7house
en Monday night last, and theie met the two defendaUts, whp
had abused,and called him "fictitious names;" and ultPlialelYl
conunitted a violent assault on his:person. ,141agistrate.-- W hat!
wits the cause of quarrel?" Couiplainaut.—'"Ehey accused me ;
of serving a dumb master." Magistrat e.—" A dumb master !"
Complainant.—" Yes, your worship, it dumb master; a master
who is not in the Union." Aw• ;
tnes+, named William Aurley,
corroborated .the statement of the comPlainent. Mr. Yates Ap-
peared for the de fe d ants, and cross-examined the witfesses,
with a view of proving that they 'had sat and drarkk together,
and made the quarrel up afterwards' and that, therefore, the
case 'was unworthy of beingentertained by the inagistrate4. The
complaMint and his witness avowed,.that they had merely sat
and taken another glass, and appearedsto v;ith.tbr, pri-
soners, froth the fear of " catching it worse." The.magiitrates I
ordered that'eadi of the defendants should pay a fine of :10s. 1
and costs, or in default of payment, be :sent to the .1-louse of
Correiition fin. fourteen clays.

Two country yokels were .brotight before the sitting Magi-
strate on a somewhat dubious charge. One was a simple,
rit 'sooth-loOking, rather decentish-Inoking clown, who has the
honour to be his Magsty'S rePrectitative, as constable,,at .the
refitwned. town 'Of anbuiy. The other looked uncommotilY
like a newly washed Sheep ; his cravat was yellow, tubse„and
his doilies being loose and ragged

Bair enjoyed Perfect liberty ("min all yiolence of comb or brush.

STEALING A Fix-cu.—A fellow, with a most inharmonious
arrangement of features, nained Jones, was charged with having
taken,a fancy to a flute, the property of a maker of that instru-
ment, named Jordan. frhoflute maker stated that on Saturday
last a man came into his shop, in Tithebarn-street, and asked
if
he had lost a flute, as he had seen a man offering one for sale.
On examining his shop, he missed an unfinished flute, which,
in its then state, was worth ten shillings. Id eWent out -in pur-
suit of the prisoner, and .found ,him at a public:house in the
neighbourhood; 'but.the•flute had been dispesed of. A ragged-
Nuking witness, who described .himself as an oyster merchant,
here stopped forward and said .he kuow'd something about the
case." .yer worships,t' lie continued, "as I was a
selling a•few native hiseters, (The season for 'em is just a coming
in, yer worships,) this .here chap come up to me, and says he,
will ye buy a flute? What should I do with a flute? says I.
' Play Qn it, says he. Can you play? says I. ,No, says he.
Thep, as Ilandet says, says I' What a precious flat you must
be to try to play upon me.' Don't put yourself into a quan-
dary, SUVS he, for I spys a swell that'll buy it, and he goes up
to a geniletniin and sells it him for a shilling."
You .Fat~ him sell the flute then ? asked the magistrate.
Witness.—Yes,-.and :he stood two pennyworth of gin to me
,out of the shilling. I did nut know the gentleman what bought
it.

The prisoner in his defence said he would take a doty that
he bought the flute for 6d..
. Not being .believed,.be was committed.
