1M ANY,ION-HOLsE.-A young man of respectable appearance was brotsght before the LORD IAYOR, charged upoa susplcion of hav ing committed a forgery, to the amount of 2001., upon the hIolsee of Willianms and Co., bankers, of Birchin-lane, in the namc of hiis employers, Alessrs. WVilliams. tea-brokers, of Jewry-street. The o , l01R DIAYrot thougltt it necessary, for the Cn(ds of justice, that thc examination slitild be private. The following account contains as many of the particulars as; we are at liberty to give at present:- A gentleman ot the nante of' Hayne, of Dorclester, has dealings with 3llessrs. Willianis, the tea-brokers, antl remits money to the,in which they receive throughl the banking-Itouse in Birchin-lane. A notice always precedies the order upon the banking-hiouse, andi the clerks of the'tea-brokers ttre a] watys aware of tlte transactions between the house aTid ilr. Hlayn)e. A few days ago Air. Haityne wrote wrord to the tea-brol;ers, that he would send an otder to them foir 2001. on the 20th instant l and a comintonication was made to the banking- house, in Birctin-lane, from the Dorciester bank, (according to ciustom), to the satne effect, with a direction to give c.tsh for the order of' Messrs. Williams. Tite banking-house was scarcely open on dlmiday morninlg, wrhen a voting man entered andc presented an order, signed Willianis *and Co., Jewry-street, for 2001. The clerk immediately paid the amount in a 2001. Bank of 13ngland note, and the Dersoit wlto presen:teti it speedily disappeared. In the course of" the day, ilir. Williams, to whelm the suim oughtt to have been paid, entered the banking-house and presented an ortler for the 20f3., to the great astonishment of the casitier, whio satid tile money hadi already been paid, atinI cx- hibited the order upon which the amount had been given. It wavs then ascertained that the first ordet was a forgery. It certainly was such a deceptiotn as none bttt the most experiencet liand could have executed. The prisoner was, itpon being apprehettded, seen by the person who paid the 2001., btut it was positively stated that fie was not the man. A lication w ts then made at the Bank of England. whiere the votlig man who took ttp the money had been seen initme- diat.lY after he left Birchtin-lane, atnd where lie had clianged the 2011. fbr sovereigns. It was there mentioned to .Mr. Williaois, thiat tht9 person who recvived change for the 2001. note appeared to be in a statt io confttsioin, andt, ott being asked in wliose name he presenteed thie Blank-note. said in that of Messrs. WVilliatns. As he had written the name of " Mlurray, 13, Tavistock-scquare," on the note, some sor- prise was expressed, but, upon his saying thlat his namte was .lurray, thie sovereigns were put down upoil the coittiter to hitm. Ttie ,io- ment he saw the gold he began to tumble it itito his bag, withilut reckoning it; and.upon being asked by the clerk whiether lie would not reckon h is money,lhe said he thought itunnecessary,and wasin ahurrv. The prisonier was apprehended by the direction of Mlr. Cope, but no cotltlesive testitnonv was given against hitn in thle course of yestertlay. He denied any knowledge of the transaction, and was remanided for a few days. A boatman who plies unear one of the wltiarEs in the city, was sunitl moictl before the LoRD M1IAYOtt, for having taken into his boat more passengers than the law allows,to the imminenit tlanger of lile. A Ruiet of the Watermen'sComnpany stated, that thelivesof the public were frequently exposed to great peril, in consequence of the conduct of watermen in ferrying over more passengers tIhan their boats were capable of conveying safely. As this practice had causetd in sonme in- stances the loss of life, it was determined to checlt it, by prosecutting those who were guilty upon the act of Geo. 11., which inflicted a penalty of 51. 0pOn arty person convicted of carrying in his boat a greater number than eighlt passengers. A waterman named C'oles was called upon to give evitlence on the occasion. ile said, he had been branded with tile name of informer; itn conseqnetse of having objectedl to the dangerotis practice of wlshic bte had lately witnessed a fatal example. Tite defenlant hiaA, lie stated, taken nine persotns into his beat, and be gave that informa. tion, at lthc same tinte that he disdained the idea of receivinz a share of the penalty, a uoiety of which the act directs to be given to the The LORD MAYORt said the public were muchl itidebtedI toColes for his contduct on the oecaslon; anti lie tupposed the watertuen weotltd be led by what occurred at the Mlansion-house to be cmutious as to the overloading of their boats, for it would certainly convey a hint to the itformers, who were employed upon much muore osliots and less profitable specilations,to look to the boats in the river. The smallest fine to be inflicted for the offence'was 51., and he apprehen(l. etl from what lie heartd daily, that an informer could pick up a most comnfortable livelihood by now and then taking a row oni the river. The defettdint pleadea a wife and several ehildlren In mitigation of the penaltv, and solemnly declared that he would never exceed Itis nit.tiber again. lit'le LoanR AIAY OR said, there could be no abatement of the pe- nalty. Coles s3id fie would take notne of it. The LORD MAYOrt said ie hIad just been given to understand, hat Coles, tlte tnan who was called informer, .was the person who ws!s most instrumental in saving the lives of the lieople who were overturned up the river, when Alr. Bull'; son and another lad were drownid. His Lordship added, that if an informer were thc evi- dence upon this occasion, the penalty would have been inevitable, as informers were in thie habit of looking to their share of it, and would insist upon a conviction. He was not disposed to make the defend- ant's family kuffer privation, and had'heard a good character of hlit, antI would therefore rensit the fite. I-e expected to find the infor- mers, wltom he should be happy to see on such occasiotis, very tctive on the river after this hint, and he should in evefy case of overload- ing, mpst peremptorily inflict the penalty. TITEIES N THE CIT Y.-It will be recollected that a short tinme since Alr. Bleneairn, a gentleman who resides in America-squarc, waitid ujion the LotD MiAYoU, and requested his Lordship's irter- te.tnce to prdtect him and- a number of other inhabitants of St. Botolph; Aldgate, from somne very opprcssive proceedlings whieli. it was stated the lav-i.ipropriator oI the parish had adopted towards them, tocotIpelthem all to pav the 2s. 9d. in the pound on therack. tent. The LonD IlAYost then said he had no powet to interfere, and advised the applicant to call a meeting of the parishioners, and etter into measures wlth others wvho w,vere also oppressed, to resist the ttnjusti fjable proceedings.
