TRt Ar, OF a LITTLS WADDINGTON" FOR AN
ASSAULT.
• TO THE BDITOR OP THE STATESMAN.
Ste—Hating bees is the Sessions House, West-
'Mester, last Peldey, ilnrin7 the trial of Samar' Wad-
, diesgtee, I feel Yannli surprised that not one of the
daily papers reported the proceedings no thin trial, as
they oisabt to have been reported. I therefore take
the liberty of xadfng you a few particulars respecting
ibis eau, which t humbly think merit the attention of
the Secretary of State fur the Home Department, par
titularly so at this time, as Mr. Peel has given notice
to bring before the Hoose of Commons, on the sth•
July, a Bill for the better Regulation of the Police of
the Metropolis. in this Bill, 1 treat some clauses
will be fumed for the better regulation of oar petty
constables and geurdiaes of the night, aid that the
public of may be cleared of worthless characters,
who assume the importasee aid character of officers
of police, sometimes without any other authority than
having by some means possessed themselves of a coo.

Werreat. This warrant ought to be give, to none
• lint those who are unexceptionable eberietere. lem
w a ted in making the above remarks, by what
tr►nspired on the trial of Samuel Waddington.
It appears that Waddington was taken up in Wind-
snill•atreet, early is the moreieg of the 10th day of
March last, and when brought before the Magistrates
at Marlborough-st►eet Police Office be was charged
wi►h being riotous and latoxicaled is the streets, and
refusing to go stray when requested to do so by the
%redline.. On the testimony of the watchman, Wad-
dington was reprimanded and ordered to be fined for
being drunk, &c. bit on some respectable person coot-
ie: forward, and proving that IVaddingtoi was not
intoxicated, the Magistrate remitted the Sae and IVad-
dingto■ went about his beldam. Theo commenced
the operatioi of • system which is too often Frac-
tined. Tito charge of druakenness hay* been lent,
the watchman goes and prefers a Bill of Indictment
against Waddington for an Assault. This brings me
to die trial on Friday last.
Samuel Berridge the watchman swore, that he saw
a great crowd of persons io Windmill Street, making a
noise and being very riotous; that he told them to
move on; that soma of them did go away; that lie
returned in a quarter of an ►oer and he there saw the
* people collected spin and Waddington at the bead of
7 them; that be very kindly, very softly, and very gent-
ly took Waddington by the arm, and requested, that
he would move on that instead of attending to so po-
lite a request, Waddington turned round and snack
him (Berridge) two violent blows fa the face;

The Members of this ttuly laudable Institution as-
sembled for their almost dinner on Monday last, al
Free Moons' Hall. William Young Haight, Esq.
Principal, was in the Chair, supported au his right by
Mr. Lockhart, M.P. and Mr. Leake, M. P. (sat Prin-
cipals. There was a considerable number of the Mem-
bers present. and it must be highly gretlfyisg to the
people at large to know that they consisted of the
meat respectable Solicitors sad Attorniea that the
Metropolis could supply, and in poist of talents,
knowledge, and probity, it may fairly be asserted that
in those respects they may rank with any other
class of society. The number of Members lea con-
siderably increased, tad se►eral new ones were ad-
mitted on Monday. The main object of this Society,
as is well known, is to clear the profession front all
unworthy members, those who, though regularly be-
longing to it, are guilty of illegal practices, and those
who, for a small fee, obtain certificates to practice
without knowledge, and who couple trades with a pro-
fession that requires a regular inistion, study, and ex-
perience. These objects of the In-tination were well
explained by the Chairman, Mr. Relight, and by Mr.
Leake, who had previously held that office. Mr. Art-
derton, the Secretary, to whom the gratitude of the,
public is due for having instituted this Society, which
most be of incalculable benefit in sifordiog security
from ignorance and empiricism, read a very satisfae-1
Report of its proceedings. After the usual
toasts, the health of the Chairman, of Mr. Leaky, Mr.
Lockhart, Mr. Aoderton, and Mr. Wright, the Tres-
surer, were gi►en, and most warmly received, and
each of these gentlemen cap d their thanks in re-
turn. Mr. John Hindus, whose social character is
well known, and some other gentlemen, gratified the
company with bumourous and convivial songs. We
regret that the p of other matter p is as
from entering more at large into the proceedings of
the day, as they relate to an Institution which, in
poiat of utility, is of the utmost importance in a coun-
try where property is in constant fluctuation, and
where the various relations of commerce, aid other
causes, might produce the must serious evils in domes-
tic life, i( the rights of individuals were left to the
management of presumption, ignorance. and venality,
sad did not derive additional protection from so ad-
ntirable an Institution as the METROPOLITAN LAW
SOCIETE.

IRISH CA MIMIC CLERCT.—Mr.J. BROWX gave notice
that, in the first week of the next Session, he should
bring forward a motion for providing for the Irish Ca-
tholic Clergy oat of the public Revenue. And we
give Mr. J. Beown notice, that we shall with all our
might, with whatever means we may possess, oppose
any and every such project. It will be a pretty
scheme indeed, while two.elevenths, or almost one.
fiJM of the whole of the produce of the land in Ireland,
is bestowed in patronage by the government and by
the great families for the rapport of the Protestant
Church, and for the conversion of Catholics to the Pro-
te►tant religion, the people of England and of Scot-
land were to be called upon for A part of the fruit of
the sweat of their brow to support the Catholic Clergy
of Ireland I Oh I so! We shall not quietly submit
to a scheme like this, and o( that Mr. Blowy may be
assured. If the Catholic Clergy be to be supported
out of taxes, let those taxes be raised upon the land
and labour of Ireland.
BOASTS° CORN.—Mt. LI:SUINCTON moved the
third reading of the Roasted Corn Bill. Sir Rouyn'
lVtLeort moved a clause for remitting the fines that
had been imposed upon the toasters. Upon an under-
standing that the fines were to be remitted, the mo-
tion was withdrawn.—We are very glad that this
thing is called by its plain manse at last, and we shall
not be at all sorry at an effectual prevention of selling
it onderany other name. If it bad been called roasted
corn from the beginning, there sever would have been
tine or prosecution. We repeat, for the information
of one readers, that Rye is the grain to make it of;
and it is very well known that Rye may now be bought
for little more than a halfpenny a pound. Properly
prepared the Rye coarsely ground as coffee is, is pot
inferior to coffee in smell or taste, and is wholly free
from its bad qualities. The country people make it
for themselves; and competition will soon cause it to
be sold in the towns at such a price as will leave rea-
sonable profit, and so more.
Score■ JUMIEII.—A dismal subject; and one that
will never he settled in the manner that it ought to be
■s long as the Parliament remains unreformed.
Boaaltwica.—A Petition was presented from him
by Mr. Aneecitomete. Our readers will reeollect
that this man was the Editor and ostensible proprietor
of a Pittite newspaper, the business of which was to
assault and pull down the Whigs; that SOUTHWICK
took in a partner of the name of ALEXANDER ; that
ALRIANDER bought bitty out; that AccvANIMR did
not pay him ; that BORTHWICR then went back and
took possession of the office; that he now took away
manuscript papers in the office; that he showed some
of these papers, and amongst the rest, those written
by Boswet.a, which produced the duel between him
and STUART; that BoturnuiClC was afterwards laid
hold of by the law, charged with felony fur
taking away these papers, and otherwise desk
,with according to the fashion of the I..rd Ad-
vocate of Scotland, who had bees oue of the pro-
prietors of the newspaper in Tuition. The present
proceedings in the House about t►is lioaTuultlC are
manifestly intended to worry the Lord Advocate and
the iGovernment on account of these stretches of
power with regard to BORER% ITR. who complains of
having been unjustly imprisoned and cruelly tre.ited
in prison. Oar readers will look at the conduct of
BORTIIWICK ; they will see that lie bad been the in
'tremens in spreading all those atrocious calumnies
that the Whigs template of; and, while they
will by no means we trust, approve of unjust
imprisonment or cruel treatmest in prison, let the
parties he who they may, they will also. we
trust, reflect that the case of Roneuwice
wholly unworthy of notice when compared with that
of Mr. JOUN KNIGHT, Mr. DAWAWNST, JOSEPH
SWANN. and scores of others, of which the Whigs
Its,. take■ no more notice, than if these men
had been only so many sparrows or so many mice.—

our paper a few days tack); look at :bat petition ;

that be did succeed, with theassistance of Wm. Pepper,
• strong powe►ful man, and a constable of the night,
is tskiag Waddlsgtoo to the watchhouse.
William Pepper and another man, corroborated the
watelmas as to the disorderly coadnet of Waddington;
bat when Waddington bad cress-examised the wit
nesse% the thing put on a very different completion.
On being asked if they knew any t►ing of amen being
in the crowd without his treat, sad the constable Pep-
per snaking a bet to fight the next day for five gui-
neas, Pepper could sot recollect any thing about it at
first, though on the Chairman putting the gustiest ea
Lim, he had some recollection of seeing a man without
his coat; and after the ',nehmen had swore to having
received two blows from Waddingtes, be admitted
that Waddington went very quietly to the watchhottee
with hien.
Waddington called two wit in his behalf,
one of whom, • Mr. Dean, swore t►at he being
in Windmill-street, at the time named in the indict.
sent, saw a few persons, about 12, collected together ;,
iLat there were two men quarrelling and making a
noise ; that one of these men appeared to he a carpen li
-
ter, and the other was the constable Pepper, who bad
jest been a witness against Waddington; that this
constable exasperated the carpenter in talking shout
6.hting for five guineas ; that the man took his coat
off sari wanted to fight then; ■pen which Pepper took
from his pocket a staff. Till this time so one thought
that Popper was a constable. Dean did not see Wad-
dington strike the watchman. or behave any way dis-
orderly.
William Davis swore that Waddington (being a
perfect stranger to him), stopped hire in the neigh-
bourhood of the Seven Dials, and enquired the near-
est way to Carnaby-street ; that Davis being going
that way offered to conduct Waddington; that
'when sear the end of Arebers•atreet, leading to
Windmill-street, they beard a great noise of people,
and saw a crowd, and a ma■ without his cost ; that
Waddington said lie would go and see what the matter
was. and ►hat almost as semi as be had got to the
crowd, the watchman laid hold of him, and dragged
him away. Davis swore positively that be saw no blows
struck ; if there had been, be must have seen them.
Davis followed Waddington to the watchbone, but
was ►efssed admittance. He, feeling that Waddiegton
wee unjustly detained. was desirous of obtaining his
liberation.
. After this evidesee io f f the defendant, Mr.
Coen., the Chairman. having enema up t►e case, in
a very impartial mass.% the Jary immediately ac-
quitted Samuel Waddington.
I think, Sir, that the facts disclosed at this trial,
clearly prove the serenity of adopt's, some means
for rendering oar police not only more efficient, bat
at the same time, more respectable. We should sot
sites hear of constables casein or promoting street
riots, and then endeavouring to stake a property of
any on. that might be led to interfere. If the salary
of a police officer is not *efficient for his support. It
ought, in justice, to be increased, and then officers
would not have their time consumed in laying petty in.

P. S. After the trial of Waddington, the constahl.
and watchman quarrelled respecting not keeping in
one story ; so that it appears there was as agreement
as to what they should swear to. The parish officers
ought to look to this. Hawing left the Court before
the cosversation which the newspaper. state took
plan between Waddington and Mr. Alley, I cannot
say bow far the reponof lt is correct.
