Clutt.DllALL.—Considerable interest was excited at
this Jusiee room yesterday, by the expectation of hear-
ing the decision of the question between the City Li-
berty of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, and the
Inhabitant Householders of Thavies Inn, relative to
the liability of the latter to be assessed to the rate fur
the poor of that liberty.
The question was before the Magistrates at this of-
fice in the early part of October, upon the bearing of
a summons against Alexander Fraser, Esq. an inha-
bitant of the Inn, to shew cause why a warrant of dis-
tress should not be issued to levy the ratelialpon
goods and chattels, he basing refused pay s otshe
same. The then acting Magistrates. Aldermen Ant-
ley and Waldman, declined granting the •warrant,
upon the ground, that as Tbavies Inn bad heretofore
been considered to be extra-parochial, and no poor
rate ever enforced against the occupiers of houses
therein, the Parish Officers were bound to sbew their
right to rate, the prirns facie evidence of the fact be-
ing to the contrary.
The case assumed precisely the same shape, viz. a
summons against Mr. Fraser, yesterday, before the
Aldermen C. Smith and Cox, who were assisted by the
City Solicitor.
Mr. Jobson, the Vestry Clevis„was 'about to open
the case on the part of the pOr,*;,. when Mr. Fraser
observed, that as his name appevod conspicuous, as
the person resising the payment ofthe rate„ it was pro-
_
pet be should state that he was simply i housekeeper
in Thaviea-inn, and had no other interest in the ques-
' ;ion; which was, however, one of goat importance
to the owners and proprietors of *the freeholds, 'and
from this consideration be WI entrusted the disersiob'
upon it to his 'Solicitor, Mr.Doyites, who now assunisd
on his behalf. •
f 'Mr. Janos then said, that in ir taking his itpp'
-don for' a wrrrint of distress against Mr. Fraser, the
parish were Wafted by no personal. motive against
'
Thefe'obj*t was to bring live gladden to issue.

of St. Andrew's parish agaialt an order for the ft,
moral °repulse from the parish of St. Paduae le
their Liberty, *lobo the ground of having obtated
settlement therein, by servitude with Mr. Preset, ditty
were birthesed with the poor belonging to the Inn.—
, The seal question was between the parish and the in-
habitue!s of the Inn generally, it being bat justice,
:that withe parish was liable for the support of their
poor, the inhabitants of the ion should contribute to
the rate for that purpose. He quoted several eases,
and also a dictum of Lord Mansfield, to chew that all
objections to poors' rates mast be made by appeal, and
parties having bad due notice of the rate, and nag-
lasting to appeal against it, must be concluded thereby,
and could not subsequently urge any legal objections'
against the payment. Under these circumstances be
trusted the Magistrates would allow the warrant of
distress to. issue, when the parties, if dissatisfied, might
try the question upon an action for trespass. If,
however, the Magistrates should decline granting
the warrant. It would then become his duty to move
the Coact of King's Bench for a mesdames against
them.
Mr. Damns submitted that the remedy by monda-
mos would.))e the fittest and easiest method of briar
ing the question to issue. The Court of King's Bench
was the proper tribunal to decide it, and if Mr. Job-
son was really so strong in cases as be asserted. he
could have no objection, as the Court could sot in that
case hesitate to decide in his favour,
The City Solicitor said it was discretionary with
the Magistrate to grant or refuse the warrant. He
was therefore of opinion, that to proceed regularly
the rate should be given in evidence, and Mr. Deykes
should then state the reasons for the refusal to pay.
On inquiry the rate book was not in Court, and it
was at length agreed that the case should be again
heard on Thursday next.
Bow-amass.—Margaret Gilson and Sarah Doyle
were brought up by Purton and Read, on suspicion of
robbery. In searching Gilson's lodgings, at No 2,
Titcliburne-courttHolborn, under a search warrant, for
some shirts which had been stolen, the officers discovered
a trank in theroom, which they broke open, and in it
found upwards of:10 skeleton keys,3crow-bars, a dark
lantern, and several other instruments for housebreak-
ing ; two silver spoons. the names on which had bees
filed off ; and a silver watch. The prisoner at first
said the trunk was her own, and her husband bad the
key; but she afterwards stated, that it and its contents
belonged to a man of the name of Richard Stoltock,
who, it appears, was transported Iwo or three years
ago. The.prisoner Doyle was with Gilson in her room
when the officets were there, and they took them both
into custody. Her husband, however, appearing to
be an honest industrious man, she was discharged, with
an advice from the Magistrate to be more guarded
in future in the selection of her companions. The
other prisoner was remanded for further examination
on Wednesday next.
John Murphy was charged with stealing a snuff-
box from Lawrence Parodi, in the month of July last.
Senor Parodi, who lace Italian dancing master,
swore that one evening in July last, he went to the
Opera, and immediately before his coming out he
hind the box in his possession ; but missed it when he
got home.
Harriet Newton stated, that the prisoner, who sold
walnuts, Ste.. and dealt at her father's shop, told her
that he found the box at the corner of Covent-garden;
and having spent more money on the preceding day
than he ought, he was distressed for 55., and would
let her have the box for that sum. She accordingly
purchased it from him.—The prisoner was committed
for trial.
Thomas Marsh and John Cooke, whom the officers
described as notorious offenders, were also fully com-
mitted, for having picked Sir Charles Dance's pockets,
when coming out of Drury-lane Theatre. Parton, the
officer, seised them both, while one of them had hold
of Sir Charles's skirts.
tits tox-uma..—Edward Cooke, a man of distressed
appearance, was brought before the Magistrate,
charged under the following remarkable circum-
stances :
Mr. John Price, a respectable shopkeeper, stated
that the prisoner camesito his shop one morning,
and ordered goods to be sent to a lady named Ack-
low, who he said resided at Clapham. The prisoner
did not ask to be the bearer of the goods, nor did he
offer to accompany the bearer : but it was the custom
when messengers came with orders from places at any
distance, to let him have a comfortable meal. The pri-
soner was treated with the usual hospitality, and left
the shop, The geode were sent to Clapham, but no
Mrs. Acklow was to be found. There was, however,
no further imposition attempted to be practised, and
the articles were safely brought back, the complain-
ant having sustained no injury except that which
the very sharp appetite of his visitor had indicted...,
Mr. Price, upon enquiry in his.neighbourhood, leaned
that the person whom he described much resembled ea
man who had found out' a new way of getting a
hearty slimier for nothing, and that he was dining
Avery day at the expence of some shopkeeper or
Other to whom be had only to mention the charm
of Mrs. Acklow's name to secure the best of treat-
ment. This report had soon the effect of disturb-
ing the tranquillity of the prisoner's meals. He was
apprehended, and charged with having pursued this•
career for some time.
The Magistrate asked whether the prisoner had at
any time taken any money from those to whom he had
gone with oasts ? It was answered he bad not.
The prisoner did not deny any part of the statement.
He had, be said, ordered the goods because be was in
the utmost distress, and wanted bread : but he had
never gone beyond that degree of imposition, •al-
'though be bad a wife and three children famishing.
• A person in the office said, that be believed a more
serious.. chat...would shortly be brought against the
primmer.,
The Magistrate directed that the prisoner should,
under these circumstances, be remanded.
