INSOLENCE OF WATERMEN.

MA NSION.IIOUSE.—The owner of the wherry, No.
45, plying on the river Thames, attended before the
Lo RD M A you yesterday, in pursuance of a summons
issued by his Lordship, at the instance of a gentleman
named (leading.
Mr. Heading stated, that on Tuesday last he hired
the Defendant to convey him across the river, from
Pickle Herring-stairs to the Old Swan-stairs, and
On landing gave him three-pence, which he knew to
he his full fare. The Defendant found fault with
this payment, and on finding his insolence did not
obtain him such an addition as he thought himself en-
titled to, he immediately abused the Complainant in
the most violent and insulting manner, applying to
him a satiety of gross epithets, and, in fact, putting
him completly at defiance.
The Defendant had nothing exculpatory to say in
his defence, simply urging, that if he had not gone
with the Complainant, he might have got a much
better fare.

The Lonn M.s YOR observed, that the insolence of
watermen had become proverbial ; and, indeed, to
such an extent had they carried their audacity, that
females were utterly deterred from going into their
boats, as they were sure to be either grossly insulted,
or imposed upon in a most exorbitant manner. With
these feelings, he thought he should not be doing his
duty if he were not to impose the heaviest fine the
law warranted on the Defendant: His Lordship ac.
cordingly sentenced him to pay a fine of 40s. with
cost. This fine the Defendant paid, and was dig-
chi rzed.

David Slone, servant to Mr. Nicholls, an iron•
monger in Birf holomew.close, was sentenced to pay
a fine of 20s. for wheeling a truck on the flag-way,
contrary to the iojusiction of a Police Officer. Not
having the mines• himself, ho was committed until the
tine shall be paid, and his Lordship took occasion to
remark on the danger to which passengers were sub-
ject by the prevalence of this practice.
George Benson, a servant in the employment of
Mr. J. W. Nlutiby, cheesemonger, in Broad-street,
was brought up on a charge of embezzling various
sums of money, which he had received on his master's
account. The persons who paid the sums alluded to
not being in attendance, he was remanded for a fur-
ther examination.

Cornelius Brown, a boy about thirteen years of
age, was charged with stealing a pair of shoes from
the shop of Mr. J. Hepworth, a shoemaker, in Sun-
street, Bishopsgate-street. The Prisoner, who is
connected with a gang of young depredators of his
own age, as a colour in his knavery, drives about a
jack ass, laden with penny bundles or wood, and
under pretence of vending these, he gets admission
to shops which may chance to be open, and if an op-
portunity should offer, is sure to purloin. the first
portable article that may offer. Several thefts have
been committed in this way, and in furtherance of
the practice, the Prisoner went into Mr. Hepworth's
shop on Wednesday, and was met coming out by
Mr. 11. who, from the confusion he manifested, sus-
pected he had been playing some trick; He was
consequently followed, and was detected handing the
spoil to one of his companions.
The Prosecutor having expressed a wish to decline
a prosecution, the Lonu MAYOR sentenced the Pri-
soner, after a severe reprimand, to be confined one
month in Bridewell, and to be well whipped.
Joseph Gage, a man of good appearance, was
brought up on a charge of breaking the windows of
Mr. Pidding, the Lottery-Office keeper, on Wed.
nesday eveno►g. It appeared, that the Prisoner,
without any apparent cause, dashed his hand through
the glass and frame of the window, and conducted
himself %%id' ungOvernable fury. A Constable being'
procured, he was sent to the Compter, where be I
was guilty of a ♦ariety of extravagancies, such as
stripping himself naked, and throwing his clothes out
of the window. Ile yesterday stated, that be had

that having died, lie was discharged. The serjeant I
of his company neglected to bury Mm, and he was
now walking about with the dead body, without
knowing what to do with it. He had no objection, I
however, to serve in any other regiment, if he could I
get a new body, as the old one was very trouble. I
some.

The LORD MAYOR sent for the Churchwarden of
the parish in which the Prisoner had been taken,
and he kindly undertook to provide for him till he
can be returned to the parish of Bodkin, in liswx,
from whence he came.

A poor woman, named applied to his
Lordship for redress, under the foliating ciicum.
stances :

It appeared that she was in the habit of coming to
town from Bedford, where she usually resided, to
sell thread lace; and for economy she occasiminlly
stopped at the house of a woman living in Golden
Lion-court, Aldersgate-street. This woman took
charge of her boxes; but Complainant had no supi-
cion of her honesty till her return home nfter bet
last journey, when she missed a parcel of lace to the
value of 501. She recollected having le!( it in her bus

MELANCHOLY MISTAKE.

A Coroner's Inquest was held before GEORGE
lloousom, Esq. at the Prince of Wales, Exeter-
street, Chelsea, on the body of William liewetson,
formerly an Officer in the Bombay Marine, who died.
during the night of Wednesday, under very distress-
ing circumstances, in consequence of poison. For
some time past he had resided in Ilans-place, Sloane-
street.

It appeared from the evidence of M. Bartollacci,
brother-in-law of the deceased, and Dr. Black, of
Sloane-street, that Mr. newetson had long been in a
very infirm state of health, bring much troubled with
pains in his limbs, disc. and the latter having long at-
tended him as his medical adviser. A few days be-
fore his death, Mr. 11. stated to his brother-in-law
that the many medicines which he had taken to give
him relief from pains, had effected no good, but
that be had now obtained a recipe for an ern-
brocation, from a person in Ilatton-garden, from)
whicl► he was led to expect great if not im-
mediate relief. On Wednesday he was very ill,
having taken this embrocation inwardly, instead of
applying it externally, as prescribed, and on learn-
ing that he had poisoned himself, the embrocation
consisting of sugar of lead and vinegar, he replied
that he had taken it inwardly, thinking that it made
no difference; that if it did no good it would do no
harm! Castor oil, and other things, were applied,
but in vain ; he survived the fatal error but a few
hours. Although he swallowed a large draught of
this embrocation from so extraordinary eq. thoughtless
a motive, nothing appeared before the Inquest to
call into question the state of the deceased, and the
Jury, therefore, without any hesitation, lamenting
only that Apothecaries were sometimes rather too in-
definite in describing how medicines were to be used,
returned a verdict of—Casually poisoned kry
strong medicine.—Dr. Black having opened the body,
it was found, that the death had been occasioned by
the sugar of lead embrocation.

in the woman's brume, and knew thit she.• had not
taken it out herself. She immediately returned to
i town, and called on the woman, .but•got•no tidings
, of her property, save that the woman had been seen
to sell some lace after her departure.
The Lotto MAvott granted a search warrant to
search the house of the woman first mentioned, and
of the person to w horn she had been seen to sell lace.
