Row STSIEBT.—JARV:S v. Jittr.-013 Satorday, the
hackney-coach owners renewed their attack upon the
titan ;rage proprietors, before the Magistrates at this
oUlce,.in the shape of a fresh information against ono
Groves Cteyeland, the proprietor of a pair horse coach,
running from St. Paul's to Kew-bridge, for presuming
to ply fur hire on the carriage way pavements of the
metropolis. Each patty sppearee to be in downright
earnest—barrister nes arrayed against barrister, and so-
licitor against solicitor, and mush forensic eloquence,
with many manifestations of profound coachography,
was displayed on both sides, to the very great-masa:up- ,
Lion of both time abd patience; but, as we doubt whe-
ther our trailers would take any interest in the argn-
inents„ the citings of statutes and cases, Ste. &c. from
Queen Anne down to his present most (rations Ma-
jesty, we shall content ourselves with giving the plain
result, viz.:—
That the Magistrates held, a short-stage-man has a
right to ply for hie passengers on the carriage-nay pave-
Metle of the metropolis, so long as be does not deviate
from the direct route of the distance for which be way
be 'licensed : and so long, also, as he does not, by an
plying, create agy nuisance or übstrnction on the said
carriage-way payments, contrary to thestatutea against
such obstruction made and provided. But, unfortu-
nately fur the defendants in the present case, it was
proved that after he had plied along the whole line of
licensed route, from St. Paul's to Devonshire-house,
in Piccadilly, lie turned bark to the White Horse Cellar,
and there plied again; and the Magistrates holding this
turning Inch- to he a deviation from his direct route, con
victed him in the penalty of 3/. under the Statute of
Geo. -

boars, two hackney coaches drove up to the door, the
hell was pulled. and head the principal officer attended
to know what they wanted. The driver of the first
coach informed hint be had a gentleman in his coach
%bow he had a charge to prefer against; the coach door
was opened. add a respectable looking man, about forty
years of ego, very stout made, and having a tremendous
pia of black eyes, was b:nded out; be wit conducted

is Leather-lane, where the prisoner demanded a pair ofl
Welliagtos boots, which be said be had ordered to be
made for him, but it appeared that Mr. Reeves never
paw the man before: he then ordered to drive him to
the Borough, and Immediately after to Somerstown, and
they, suspecting he meant to bilk them of their fare,
thought tit to bring him before a Matistrate.
During the time the complainant was stating his case,
the prisoner evinced strong symptoms of a disordered
mind ; he laughed, and said he was ready to pay the
coach hire, and for the glass he broke, if he could put
his hands in his pocket to get the swami- ; his bands
were joined across his breast ; Limbrirk, the officer,
laid hold of Iris hands, and then, to their surprise, they
discovered he was handcuffed, the handcuffs bring coo-
reeled ender the cuffs of his coat sleeves. Limbrick
searched his pockets to see if he bad any money. but
they contained nothing but some small stones asd bits
of paper. Limbrick asked him how long be bad been
bandcaffed, or from whence he made his escape? He
answered he had been h soden tied since Wed ne‘ilay morn-
ing, and that be escaped from Mr. Diamond's, in the
New-road (a private mad la on se.) Limbrick accompanied
him in one of the coaches, and delivered him at Mr.
Mankind's, who paid the fare of both coaches and
broken glass. It appears the unfortunate man's name is
Thomas Redfern, who kept a large hatter's shop In the
Borough, and that he received the black eyes from the
persons In attendance in rescuing the keeper from him.
He broke two strait waistcoats, and effected his escape
throogh the roof of a summer-house, and ever the gar-
den wall.
I.7stow.oaLt..—On Saturday, the person charged with
having in bis po.sessi.m a one pound vete, part of the
property stolen from the Ipswich Bank, was brought op
for le-examination.
Toe depositioas taken on the former hearing were
read over, the summary of which • is—that Mr. Lewis,
the landlord of the Bog and Duck in the Blackfrisra
road, gave change for the note in quessioo, on the 16th
instant, to a jonrnevissat Of Mr. Weeder!, a farrier, in
Church street, Blackfriag's-road, who received it frost-
Morgan the same niornMil In paymeht of a bill dee to
his master. Lewis afterwards paid it away-to elessra.
Hodges and Co. his distellers, and by them it was re-
tuned to Lewis as one of the notes stolen from the Ips-
wich Bank. 'the prisoner was then taken into ens.,
fatly ; sod having been examined, was remanded ta of%
ford the Ipswich bookers an opportunity of bringing M.'S;
dente against them. Those Gentlemen did not attend on
Saturday, and 00 the prisoner being asked to accoust for
baring the note in his possession, he called Mr. Bosja-
, min Ceely, who lived in Holborn, and he stated, that •
short time sines be paid the prisoner M. on moment of
some dealings between them, and that be rooellected
that a part of it was a one pound Woodbridge Bank
solo. which he had received on the 20th September from
a Mr. Botcher, a respectable dealer in the Isle of Bly, as
part of a wager on the fight between the Gas-light elan
and Neat.. Before he took the note, he had heard of
the robbery of the hank, but at the time he did not think
of looking et it particularly, any did he put any mark
upon it. On bearing that Morgan was is mastodv for
having a country note is his possession, be mentioned'
the circumstance to Butcher, and requested him to ap-
pear before the Magistrates, bat he bad not done so.
Hall the office* ptodsoed the note; it had stamped on,
t " referred to Alorander and Co. is consequence of the
fakery of the Ipswich Bank."
Mr. Seely inspected It, and believed it to bar the same

SW*IIIIT observed, that Hie man bad been in m-
inty for a week, and during that time no erideoce bad
been brought (untied even to prove the note had been
'stolen, and much less that the prisoner had been
rated in the robbery. He thought the prisoner had
produced • fair witness to account for the manner in
which the note got into his bands, end be should there-
fore order him to he liberated. The note wasthen given
to the prisoner, and he was discharged.
The Magistrates received a note from the parish offi-
cers of Bermondsey informing them that on Friday
night the body of a pauper, who bad died in their work-
house, had been disinterred from their church-yard, and
requested their aid in assisting the son of the deceased,
in recovering the body. The young man himself, who
was much affected' by the indignity that bad been shows
to his fathet's corpse, also joined in the request, and hay-
ing obtained permission for an officer to accompany him,
they went to',,St.iThomas's Hospi:a! ;also to Mr.(lranger's
in Webb-street, and to several other anatomical theatres,
and inspected all the "subjects." In one of them they
found a body, which in all.probability was the one they
were is search of; but it was so much mutilated, il.at it
was ilsiPotsible to identiffit. This inspecti.m touch in-
creased the young man's affliction; for he said he really
believed he had seen his father's mangled remains,
and was not suffered to take them, to a resting' place.
A man was brought op for a final examination, charged
with being privy to several robberies which had been
committed by his daughters, two interesting little girls,
both of them under nine years of age, and one of whom
has been fully committed fur trial.
Several lines drapers and. other shop-keepers gave evi7
deuce that they had been plundered to a very great extent,
by a gang of young thieves of both sexes, who would come
Into the;r shops Iwo or three together,and while one of them
was engaged in making some trifling purchase, the others
would manage to steal any light article which happened hi
-be within their reach. The prisoner's two daughters were
some titneago taken up on suspicion of baying been con-
cerned in some of these petty robberias, and from a disci*.
mare which one of them made, the Magistrate immediately
ordered the prisoner's house to be searched, which being
clones, a large quantity of black silk handkerchiefs were
found, besides upwards of fifty pawnbroker's duplicates,
which were hid about his clothes. Some of the property
predated was identieed by Mr. Watt, a linen-draper, and
roved by him to bare been stolen by Matilda Dunn,
(the eldest girl. The si:ic haeriterchiefe, Mr. Highest, of
Blank-Prime row, •Walworth, claimed; and • stated that
about two mouths since he missed them inintedintely.after
the girl. who is now ia prison. had been in bier atop.
The pri over said he had purchased ti`efve black sHk
handt.n.cliOa's of an itinertnt dealer in the about
four months since, for which he gave Vs.—lie was com-
mitted for trial.
