Ilattstox-Noess..—lfesSerday, some members eithe ,
Corn and Coal Ceinnsitt" sad two of the pdacipal
Coal Meters of the city. Wooded at the Justine-room,
for the purpose of establishing a charge against Wos.
Walker. one of the labooriag coal-meters.
Mr. Anderson, one of the principal coal-meters, stated ,
to the Lord Mayor that he had, by the direction of
the Corn and Coal Committee. suspended the defend-
ant for improper conduct. On the 21st of December
the defendant delivered twenty-six sacks of coils,
which upon being re-measured were found to be deb
cies' thirteen bushels—a thing which could not have
taken place had the defendant performed his duty.
Walker said in his derma, that he was safortn-
'lately sick on the morning the coals were measured,
and although be told a different story to the Commit-
tee, bad not attended until the coils had left the yard.
which took place before six in t►e morning. He ac-
counted for the deficiency by stating that the waggon
were detained in the street nearly three hours, after
they bad quitted the yard, and probably were pilfered
during that period.
Mr. Perkins, who had purchased the coals, and
ascertained the deficiency. stated that be was coo
vinad the loss was owing to t►e conduct of the de-
fendant. The sacks which were found to be deficient,
had so marks whatever of baying been pilfered; and
the deficiency no doubt arose from the understeadiug
that too frequently took place between the sellers of
coal, and the labouring coal meter.•
The Members of the Committee and the Leap
MAYOR for some time consulted together upon the sob-
jut, and the result was the diseased of the coal-meter.
His Lordship, in delivering t►e sentence. took the op-
portesity to state. that there were mealy presume im the
coal trade. wbo were in the habit of advertising
" Che■p Coals for sale ;" but who were daily eliciting
the pablic is quantity and quality. Those persona,
the Lord Mayor added, could not pursue such a vil-
lainous system, without the assistance of the labouring
coal-meters, who had it in their power to give a com-
plete check to the practice.

fied in taking bail at present.
Mr. ALLer said, the prisoner bad already been a

bad got all the evidence be could.
Mr. filtusitra• said, that though there was not suf-
ficient evidence to commit, there was • strong prism

tare as to demand a thorough investigation. The
prisoner was at first apreheeded epos &nonpluses in
formation. and until he (Mr. Mtesima.) had some

sibly come before the public, sad meet the eye of per-
