POLIO?.

I 13011-STRZET.-A hackney coachman was brought
to the Office on %turfloy, charged with stopping the
starting of the moil coaches on Friday night, near
the Gloucester Coffee-house in Piccadilly.

Mr. Charles Gurney attended and stated, that he
was employed by the Post-Office to attend every
night at the Gloucester Coffee-house to assist and fa.
cilitate the departrire of the mail coaches. On Fri-
day night, about eight o'clock, the Prisoner drove
his coach close to the foot-path, within a few yards
of the Gloucester Coffee-house, in the situation
where the Exeter Mail usually stood ; he desired the
Prisoner to remove his coach to make spay for the
mail coach when it came up. The Prisoner replied,
that his removal of his coach depended upon his fare,
whose luggage he had got in the coach, and who was
only gone to the Gloucester Coffee-house respecting
a place by one of the mail coaches. The Prisoner
I persisting in not removing his coach, he ordered
Humphries, belonging to the Office, who was in at-
tendance, to take him to the watch-house, and be
turned the roach into the middle of the street.

The Magistrate said, he had not heard any legal
charge made against the Prisoner, or any ground for
one, and wept Mr. Gurney could prove to him,
that he had some special power under the Mail-
couch Act, be bad no authority for what be had
done.

Mr. Gurney confessed that he possessed no au-
thority whatever, hut had acted according to usage.
Henry Cooke, Esq. of Bedford-square, said, he
attended on public grounds, he being the fare of the
hackney coachman, and having to set off a nephew to
Oxford, who was obliged to be there by Saturday, or
he would lose a term ; he went to Piccadilly for the
purpose of going by the Worcester or Gloucester
mail ; he desired the coachman to wait while he went
to the conch office of the Gloucester Coffee-house to
arrange about a place, which occupied but a very
few minutes. On his return he found the coach
turned into the middle of the street, with the luggage
in it, without any person to take care of it : he con-
tended that the coach was his while he paid for it,
and it lied as much right to remain where it was as
env coach that was to carry the letters of the Post-
Office. This position was admitted.
Tue afffir was at length compromised, by the
coachman accepting 21. from Mr. Gurney, as a re-
eetwnense for the injury he had sustained.
MAx•rox-house.—Thomas Booth was, on Satin.
day, brought up, and fully Committed oo a charge of
uttering a forged order, to obtain a quantity of cloth
from Messrs. Ranken and Co. Cornhill. Se*eral
other persons appeared to prefer charges against the
Prisoner.

GuILD H LL.—Samuel Hobson waa, on Saturday,
charged by Mrs. Miry smith, with hating assaulted
her, with intent to commit a rape. _ _ _

Mrs. Smith deposed, that she lodged with her has-
band in the house of the Pris;iner's mother, in Long-
lane, West Smithfis-ld: that on Sunday last, while
her husband was gone to attend divine worship, the
Prisoner, who is a married man, obtained admission,
and attempted violence upon her person, when her
screams brought another lodger to her assistance, on
heaving whom approaching, Hobson hastily retreated.
Ms'h'ws. the lodger alluded to, had heard Mira.
Smith's cries, and on opening his door and going
down stairs, he saw Mu. Hobson going down from
Mrs. Smith's room.—The Defendant was held to bail.

On Saturday a melancholy spectacle was presented,
arising from the application of two young ladies of
the name of ;Weight, whose father had unhappily put
an end to his existence by shooting himself, to the
stewards of a Benefit Society called " he Amicable
and Fraternal Societ)," which they claimed as the
next hehs of their parent, and to which, by the
rules of the Society to which their father belonged,
they considered themselves entitled. The stewards
miller the immediate circumstances of the death of
Mr. Martin, net feeling themselves warranted in pay.
ing the money without the order of the Magistrates,
requested for their own satisfaction that they might
he summoned, and on Saturday attended in pursu-
ance of the summons issued. The stewards now de-
clared that there was no rule in their code of regale-
tions which called upon them to refuse the payment
of the money demanded. It had been a subject of
discussion among the older members of the Society,
whether in case of one of their brothers putting an
end to himself, his family should not be deprived of
the benefits which wcwild accrue to them by his death.
After much deliberation, however, the proposition
was abandoned, and they saw no impediment to the
payment of the sum now demanded. Upon an un-
dertaking that the money should be paid immediately,
the case was discharged.

ham carrier, was brought before Mr.CoLouttoutr, in

sing case entrusted to his care and conveyance. The
Gentleman to whom the case belonged was sure of
the money being in it when delivered to this carrier,
who engaged to take care of it. On its being de-
livered, he immediately missed 41.
Mr. LOLQUHOUN insisted that Macbeth should
make good toe money lost under such suspicious cir-
cumstances, and if it were not replaced by Monday,
a warrant should be issued against him ou the sus.
picion of having committed a felony.
