xstoat-novae..--Toads CssitTs..--A number of the
nen of town carts appeared, upon summonses, be-
'• Te the LORD MAYOR, charged by the street-keepers,
sail some of the inhabitants of Bishopsgate-street, with
aving brought their carts to the stands soon after
midnight, against the regulations of the Act.
. Fur some time past the time of the Lord Mayor has
been daily occupied in hearing charges preferred
against the numerous carmen who work in the city, of
going on the stands at the most unseasonable hours,
frequently racing at full gallop down the streets, at
three or four o'clock in the morning, to the great alarm
and annoyance of the inhabitants, whose complaints to
the Lord Mayor, that their rest is constantly broken
in this manner, have been incessant. His Lordship
has nsed all endeavours to suppress the practice ; but
at a number of the more wealthy carmen find it to
their interest to run the hazard of paying the fines,
they have hitherto been unsuccessful.
The defendants brought before his Lordship this
last time were of the poorest class. They represented
that they each depended for their livelihood on their
labour with one cart. There were other carmen
who had six or more carts each, who daily trans-
gressed, by bringing out their carts before the proper
hour, and finless the defendants took out their carts at
the same time, they would stand no chance of getting
nny work at all. As the carman who hail six or eight
carts paid only the same fine fur baying the whole of
his carts out as the person who had but one on the
stand, these large owners could afford to pay it, and
would be soon rid of their less wealthy but more Ml'
memos competitors, who were at the brink of ruin
from the present bad state of work, and the fines which
were constantly indicted on them. They declared that
they had as strong a desire to discontinue the prac-
tice as any of the prosecutors ; but felt they should be
annihilated if the laws were put in force against them.
The Loess MAVOR said be felt extremely for the si-
Nation of the defendants, and had no doubt of the
truth of their statement. His Lordship said the only
remedy would be, to obtain a new regulation, which
would give the officers and street•keepers the power of
sweeping the whole of the carts found at the stands at
an improper hour to the green-yard, instanter, whether
belonging to rich or poor. His Lordship ordered the
several charges to stand over, and said be would in the
mean time endeavour to get a regulation of the na-
ture alluded to made by the Corporation. His Lord-
ship said be was convinced it was the only measure
which would give relief to the defendants and protec-
tion to the inhabitants.

The defendants warmly thanked his Lordship for
his interference, and expressed their conviction that
the measure proposed would prove fully adequate to the
cure of the evil.

One of Übe Italian boys who hawks about him-
marlres, was brought before his Lordship under the
following circumstances
The officers stated that the prisoner made it his
practice to plant himself at the door of some respecta-
ble house, and of displaying his wares about the
steps, When requested to remove, be would pretend
not to understand a word of what was said to him,
whit* *need those who wished to meow. hie to
the necessity of giving him a push in explanation,
when the prisoner contrived to let fall one of his him-
'troches, and would burst out Ist conpinf the most dread-
ful roars of grief imaginable, Correcting a crowd of
persons about him, pointing to the "fragments en the
ground, and then to the person who had endeavoured
to remove him, in a manner the most eloquent, which
excited the sympathy of the bystanders, and mostly
procured him a collection of four times the amount of
the image, besides reparation from the individual who
supposed himself to be the cause of the accident. The
officers, who bad seen him perform the trick several
times with great success, roaring until his stock of
tears was dried up, took him up.

The Loan lllAvna made the prisoner understand
that if be were caught performing the trick a second
time in the City, he would be dealt with in a mannner
wl.ich would produce real sorrow ; and as no one ap-
peared to prosecute, his Lordship discharged the pri-
sager with this intimation for himself and brethren.

Bow-in-Rim—Yesterday Major Cartwright attend-
ed at this office, for the purpose of entering into a re-
cognizance for the good behaviour of Sir Charles
Wollesley, for the eighteen months ensuing putsuant to
the terms of the sentence passed upon the Baronet at
the Chester Assizes.

The Major remained in an outer room, while Mr.
Jones, bis Solicitor, came into the public office and laid
a form of the recognizance before the Magistrate for
his signature.

MissucLi, said, that before be could sign the
recognizance he must see the Gentleman proposed, in
order to question him as to his competency to give se-
curity to the amount required (5000
Mr. Jones submitted that it was quite unnecessary.
The signing of a recognizance of this nature was a
mere matter of form, and it was not the practice to ask
any questions.

Mr. litxsuL LL said, the practice elsewhere might be
very different, bat it was a rule at this office not to tale
recognizance of ar.y man without questioning him in
the usual form.

Mr. Jones said it was quite unusual. The signing
of a recognisance was always done as a matter of
eourse by the Judges without any questions being
asked.
Mr. Masan:l4 said. that whatever might be the
practice in other places, be should not take the receg-
nisanoe of any man as a mere matter of course. He
was bound to ascertain whether the person offerinr
himself was competent or not. He did so in cases of
common assault where. the amount required was Only
1411. and-he certainly should not depart from an esta-
blished rule ha this particular case.
Mr. Jones said, the Major was ready to answer an/
questions that the Magistrate might think it his duty
to put to him. He (31r. Jones) had only taken the li-
berty df mentioning what the practice u as in the Court
of ;Ones Bench.
Maxsucu, said he most see and Interrogate the
Worthy Major.
Major Cartwright then appeared, and being sworn
and asked if he was worth 500/. after the payment of
Lis just debts, lie replied in the affirmative.
Mr. MINSIMLL asked if he was bail for any other
person at present, and Mr. Jones was understood to say
that the Major was under his own personal recogni-
sance cf for good behaviour.
