mistaken as to the persons of the Prisoners.

Mr. Ayaiws, the Sitting Magistrate, observed,
it was his-duty to commit the Prisoners; one of
them (Wilson) had been before him once before,
-and was very near being committed for a similar
offence; nothing prevented it, hut that the Corn.
ptainant could nut identify the goods. As to the
other Prisoner, he was informed he was writ
known to be of an infamous character, and it eras
not hiq first appearance at that bar; they vs' ru
both hardened in vice, and it was his duty to pre.
vent them going at large, to enable them to carry
on !inch warfare against the property of their fel.
low subjects. They were accordingly fully com-
mitted for trial.

llArstox-Tiouse.-17 Myers was charged by
Moses Levy with making an outrageous attack
upon him, with a spade. It appeared that the
Prosecutor had employed the Prisoner, they being
both of the Jewish persuasion, to perform a day's
work for him. He offered the Prisoner, in pay.
ment, seven shillings, which he refused to take,
alleging that he was entitled to nineteen shillings.
The Prosecutor resisted this demand; the Pri-
soner seized a spade with which he had been at
work, and raising it in a menacing posture, with
dreadful imprecatioot, threatened to cut the Pro-
secutor dawn, if he had not, %bat he termed, his
rights. A person of the name of French, who
had Chanced accidentally to pass when the busiin-s
was nearly ended, tiaid, that having himself eon-

sopa, he was induqJ, from curiosity, to mine,'
in ,the crowd, and to inquire into the circum-
stances, when he heard the Prisoner declare to a
woman wins was remonstrating with him on his
improper conduct, that he would cut any man
down who attempted to deprive him of his rights.
The Prisoner was ordered.to be committed. in de-
fault of his finding bail, to take his trial for t!;‘,
