Judith Mikity was charged. by Mi. Petty, it 'to-
bacconist, with attempting to pass as genuine three
different shillings, all of which were cetinterfeit.--
Oo sending fur an 'Officer to lake Iter into Custody,.
the Prisoner was observed to swallow fire pieces
of a sintilai description.— She was ordered to be
remanded till Monday, end the Solicitor to the
Mint, in the mean time, to be made acquainted
with the circumstances of her case.
Three several complaints were made before the
Sitting Alderman (Sir JAMAS SMAW), by different
Gentlemen residing In various parts of the City,
!against the .porters belonging to the White florae,
'Fettet.lane, for overcharges made for the cuuvey-
ance of packeges coming by the coacherwhich ar.,
rived at that Inn. The overcharges consisted In an
article of two-pence fur warehouse-room, which,
the worthy Alderman Informed the persons coin.
pleined upon, they must have been SW are, at the,
aline Of making it, was illegal, being in tlic very
fiee of the Act of Parliament, which directed that
.cliirge fur warehousing should be made only where
the package was direited to be left till called for.
every other respect, where the package was ad.
dressed to the house of the person by whom it was
to be received, an allowance was to be made for
porterage; according to the distance, but no charge
w lialeier was allowed to be made foearstahuusiug.
It seas admitted, even by the persons now cam-
plaincd upon, that, for two years, at least, there
fed been a constant practice of making this illegal
rcharge. It would not, therefore, be deemed at all
surprising that he neiw imposed oo the persons so",
offending the full penalty of 20s. expectiug, and
intending that it should operate as a warning to ill
persons in this situation, to entail] in future from
'any such charge. Ile therefore ordered? in the case.
of a complaint made by Mr. Bellamy, of Trinity.
square, that the Porter who now appeared to
answer a charge brought against him, for extorting
beyond the usual charge for carriage and porterage,
the sum of two-pence for warehouse.room,, do pay
for such overcharge, the full penalty of 201. ; and
thatxiati nun-payment of such,fine he be committed
to prison.
The porter begged, that, as he had only obeyed
orders, dud bad accounted fur what he received, his
master might himself be summoned to answer to the
charge. He should be sorry to disobey the worthy
Alderman, but still he must resist the payment of
the fine, if" ultimately imposed. He was advised
that this was an Act regulating porterage alone,
and not at all relatiqg to penalties fur .any other
over charge.
The worthy Alderman (Sir JAMES SLOW) had no
doubt that the person now complaintal of had the
best advice, and that it wag intended that this
question should be carried farther. He was anxi-
ous that every thing should be done in the most
regular manner; that if brought before the Quar-
ter Sessions the question might receive a aatisfac-
torydecision. With this view, it was agreed, that
the Master of the Inn should be summoned, and
that an information in writing should be lodged, an.
die the clause in the Act of Parliament relating to.
the point ia question.

carried her up stairs, and when he gut her into,
their own apartment, lie beat her, knocked her
down, kicked and stamped iipon her.. Their
