Who was in the putour at the thee. corroborated the statement
'of ' Mr. Griodwin as to his consulting Mr. Ward, and as to the
nelsoner's reusing out of the roma when Mr. Goodwin was
about to eaposehis elmdeet.
The watchman stated his hiving stopped the prisoner while
gunning in the Haymarket.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the clerk, having taken down these
depositions, Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, asked the prisoner If
be wished to say any thing, at the same time intimating
te.bint. that the evidence was such as to compel him OIL
Ros) to hold him to bail.
The prisoner said that he certainly did wish to say a
great deist, end in the warmest manner declared his total
innocence of the offence imputed to him. He said that Mr.
liktedwin, when they first met at Hammersmith, asked him
While they waited for the coach. to take something to
drink, which ey did together, and fur which Mr. Good•
win paid. Ofeaheir sternal in Piccadilly, they both got off
the coach together, whilst it stopped its usual time at the
White Horse Cellar ; and feeder that he was under an
obligation to Mr. Goodwin for what he drank at Hammer-
mid), be asked tbat Gentleman to take a -glass of brandy
and water with him, to which Mr. Goodwin agreed, and
this ear what took them together up Dover . Street, when
they went into a public house, and had some brandy and
water, for which he paid.
Mr. Rot here asked Mr. Goodwin if this was tree. He
replied that ft certainly was; but he did not think it of
.any conerqueare to mention.
The prisoner then went on to state, that after coining
out of this public house, they both got in the coach again,
.aod went as far as Regent Street, where Mr. Goodwin
alighted, end asked him the prisoner to accompany him to
his !Ogler, in Jernivn Street, jest near, and have a glass
of brandy and water in edam for that they had its Dover
Street. To this proposal he (the prisoner)•ohjected for
sometime. as the hone was so late, simi he had a long dis-
tance to go; but at the urgent solicitation of Mr. Goodwin,
he at length consented, and went with .him to the Red Lion.
where they drank four glasses of brandy and water together.
daring which Mr. Goodwin conducted himself in a !metier
which surprised hid; and recollecting the circomstaoce of
that gentleman, who was a total stranger to him, having
before that given him his address on a piece of paper,
(which be now handed in to tlieMagistrate) and appointed
to meet him on another evening, be thought it best to
leave the company, and acceiditgly walked out of the
IsOnse ; but did not run, as was stated. He solemnly de-
clared these to. be the facts ; and Mr. Goodwin's assertion
as to any offensive conduct on his part was totally false.
The prisoner now said that he Is a man of property and
respectability, in the possession of several freehold houses,
locleding that in which be lives, and never was charged
with any offence before.
• Mr. 'Rot said, that under all the circumstances. ha shobld
require him to enter into bail, himself in MK and two
ren'ties in 501. each, and give 24 hoen notice of bail to
the prosecutor.
The welldredwn character, designated Lady Doerr
more, was yesterday charged with riotous acd disorderly
eortddct, on Sunday evening, in the Falcon public hoe*
Princes street, Leicester Square. i
The landlord fully proved the charge against her, and
the Magistrate was about committing her, but she pleaded
that. during the last sixteen months, she had been alma .
eotirely in prison for assaults and disorderly conduct. and
was • only liberated on Friday last, therefore she hoped his.
Warship Would not again send her to prison.

with persons to complain of the coliitact of * gentleman
Who tans himself Colonel Alles..4hil OW eillMs,Ao be.
knniro indifferent parts of the kingdoig, Mr. Bricked!,
of styr Street. Piccadilly, stated that the Colonel and his
lady took apartments in his house in March last. The
Colonel represented himself as entitled to 3,0001. from
Lewd Talinerstoo, ass compensation for wounds he had
received in the service, and was treated by Mr. Bricknell
With all the respect due to his rank and his pretensions.
Sitheequently suspicions were entertained as to his true
character, and Mr. Bricknell endeavoured to get him out
affie,house. The Colonel attempted to remove his pro-
perty In the absence of the family, and ill-treated the
thematic* who endeavoured to prevent him. At length
when a coastable was sent fee, the Colonel made his exit
at' the back window; and his lady marched off 201. in Mr.
Brickuell's debt. This gentleman hadAnce traced them

trafe decided that these particulars were not sufficient for
hied to grant a warrant against the Coloael. and Mr. Rriekvell
retired t• complain, as we understood, to Mr. Peel of the Ma-
gittnte. 'rhe lady with whom the Colonel now lodges sts ted
that about nine weeks ago he took her apartments, teltlns' her

had told to Mr. Brlcknall: After being In the house abbot 3
weeks.bis conduct Weenie most outrageous ; he treated' her
to a very imbilicate manner, and wrote letters to her husband
ea:rising her of gross misconduct.---One of the lettertr was
read, and was so extravagant as to appear to be the prodrictios
.of a, audition. The Magistrate decided that In this case also
*ire was no eiblence of assault, and he could not hold the!
Colonel to bail. The lady offered to forgive the Colonel his'
debt of IN. to her If he would quit her house, and to this the
Colonel acceded, proselaing to go away on the ensuing Tinier
day. lie sod Mrs. Colonel were then discharged. This goo.,

BURTLABONN II —Yesterday, Johnson the informer, and'
Ilyers, attended to support informations against the four
&Mowing respectable bakers ;M r. Anderson, Bryanstoat
Street Mrs. Brown' Duke Street, Mr. Todd, and Mr. Ma.
son, Edward Street.
Mr. Wittuats attended for the defendants.
Byers stated that- he, on the 16th instant, went into the
shop of Mr, Todd; and told a shopwoman he wanted a loaf.
She,asked asked him whether a quartern or half quartern ?
He beplied, a half quartere; and having paid the money,
went away.
In his cross•elaminstion he said he did not weigh the
loaf, as he deemed it unnecessary trouble, there bring cm
penalty fershort weight. The leaf answered the descrip-
tion of a 2lb loaf, and very likely was weight. He would
not know the woman again, as he had not noted her in his
memoranda.-
Mr.
WI Lttans called a female who served in lir. Todd's
shop on the evening-in question, who swore positively that
Byars never was in the shop ; and that she lied never, since,
the passing of the new Act, sold bread under the de ntiest..
nation of half qnartern or quarter°.

Some bakers said, let them adopt any plan they would,
Johnson would still be aiming them, 'and would draw his
Latch.
Johnson declared upon his honour Itcwould not lay an
information against any one of them who would weigh the
bread.
hie. WILLIAM then contended that the infortnation SVm
defective, it not having averred enottith., • The 6th section
of the Act said, "No loaf shall be sold under the denoini-
nation of A quarter or half quarter of a pelt Itelf ;" where.
as the information only averred under the dnitonsination of
" half quartern."
Mr.. RAM/UNION thought the averthent was suffi-
ciently supported. The Came point bed . beets overruled
at the Sessions, and be really would hdt decide that it was
good.
Mr. WILLIAMS, at some length, contended, on this
ground that the information was bad; but his arguments
were overruled, and Mr. Todd wad convicted in the penalty
of 40s. and costs. .
. The second information was veithdraern.
The informations against Mr. Huhn were quashed, he
having distinctly proved rhat the loaf *as weighed, and
sold to Byers as a 21b. loaf.
The other two defendants were convicted, each in the
fine of 40s. and costs, on only two out 'of the five inform-
ions against them.

flutcroe.—A very melancholy instance of self destruction
took place on Friday the 19th instant, at Daltinfield. Mr. J..
Moss, mine agent to F. D. Miley, Esq., precipitated insamlf
into a coal pit. which had ceased being worked, and was filled
with water to within about nine feet of chi surface. * The tin'
happy man was got out in a quarter of an hoar ; but; botwith-•
standing the very persevering efforts of Dr. Milligaa and Mr.
Kaye, of Ashton under Liar, resuscitation did not pike place.;
This melancholy event was attended by peculiar circumstances
Mr. Astley left Dukinfield about six weeks ago, leasing Mr.
Moss in charge of the booki of the various concerns, and with
aireetions to collect several sums of mohey to k considerable
amount. Unfortunately, the deceased, 'during Inineoployees
absence, gave himself entirely op to the deatractiee habit of
drinking, and totally neglected his business. Oa the Tuesday
preceding his death, Mr. Astley returned, and *found 'that not
one single entry had been made in the books.ot any descrip.
lion, anckthat his 'gentled, is fact, absented/himseif from his
duties ever since he had left horse. Mr. Astley sent for the
deceased both on the Wednesday and Thursday, but he could

retroced a step or two. but apon'tbe servant's resale, towards
