respectable looking tis Ats, described as a half-pay of-
: firer, wait charged nith leaving an infant child about
twelve months old, at the llrtinance Oth.:e iu P.,11
Mall tin Saturday. The child watt wrapped in a thin
tnit.liti an.; the accused was overtaken in the
vtreet, and brought bark, when Pepper, th. St.
Jante,C% constable, nar 'rut fur and lodged the ac-
rased in the hated-house.

It W4ll stated that the defendant, who received his
half-pay at the Ordnance Offive, frequently went there
disguised as a e.)al hearer, at other times a country-
man in a round hat, Scr. and that the chill he bad left
was his own, and he bad gut it away clandestinely
from h,s wife's lodgings, as they were not at present
*Tin together. The defendant's look was wild, and
hie manner incoherent, but as the child was restored
to the mother, who was present, he was informed by
the Magistrate that if he did nut take care he
would be in a madhouse, or a prison. Ile was dis-
charged.
Braut..tay.—.l man named Yeoman, alias Joyce,
was charged with a burglary in the house of Mr
Daumage, cheesemonger, in King-street, Seven Dials,
on Sunday evening.
Mr. Ilammage left his parlours fastened at six
o'clock on Sunday evening, and lie returned from
divine service at eight, when he discovered that the
parlour door had been broken open, and an i
box cuniaining Slit. in slyer, was stolen from under
the bed. The suspicion against the prisoner was
that lie had been in and out of the 'souse more than
final during the absence of the prosecutor the two
hums ; that on S. Furzeman and Roberts examining
him, they found IS keys upon him, one of which open-
ed a drawer whi.:ll had been unlocked in the parlour,
and u hieh fitted no tither lock in the house. Ile
said he had ! •en to Whitechapel on his return born.,
hut the • of his shoes were not dirty ; and his
account himself was considered altogether incon-
sistent. Remanded.

liow-srurET.—Ye‘terday a second I barge was pre-
ferred against Erfoqrd 6e, CM, the clerk of the pre-
tended firm in Howard-street, by a nsilitary gentle.
nran, who had been defrauded in a similar way to
Hr. Bulltner, lent not to an equal extent. Unfortu-
nately he had given a receipt to Green, which, of
rourse, gave a valility to the transaction, and pre-
vented any criminal proriecution. .
11µicirrom.-011 Thursday the Collector of the
Port of Shoreham, before the Sitting Magistrates,
Parker, and J. 11. Bates, F:sqrs., two brothers,
John and Jatnes.Parsons, and a third named Sawyer,
the crew of the Bristol racket, in which vessel, nine-
teen packages of 'tea had been found, making in time
aggregate thirty-seven pounds, contrary to time statute
in snrh cases made and provided, as touching that
&rain The penalty upon the crew severally woniel
have been upon conviction, one hundred pounds, or
time year's service in his Majesty's nary. The prose-
cution was grounded upon the 45th and 47th of the
late king, which was sufficiently explicit, but which
made all exception to square rigged vessels, as well
as to tea that might have been taken on board from
any port in Ireland. The plea set up, and which sir-
cupietlithe Bench for some hours, was, that the Bristol
packet, or sehrooner, came under time denomination of
square rigged vessels, and many nautical characters
were called, who, upon oath, agreed upon that point,
and thereby, put it out of the power of the Magi-
strates to ark,urlicate upon the case, beyond that of or-
dering the discharge of the prisoners, and they were
discharg. el accore:ingly. The absence of Serjeant
littaningtvoi upon this diificult case, was, certainly, a
stthject calcuiated to induce regret, as both Magi-
steate s expressed themselves incompetent to decide
spun the square rigged plea resorted to. Sir. Bates
humorously uhferved, that he had been a soldier, I
horse sal ier, but he lutist become a noose ssautsm.
before he could enter law the full merits of the case
[
before the Benda."
