the unfortunate young man who stands chargLd vltih having forged a bond for the security of hiis own good behaviour as letter-carrier at the Post-office, wms brought before the LoRan hAYOIt yesterdayfor re-examination; It will be recollected that the case waB postpned at the suggestion of the Selicitor for the Post-office, in consequenee of the absence of a person, named Faulkner, whose name he wSasuspected to have forged, and who was extremntl unwillng to come iorw ard as a witness for the pro. secution. The supetintesdents of th2t establishment, however apprehensive that lenierlnt treatment would be, under stuch circum. stances, attentled with danger to the pubie, gave directions to the officers to leave no steps unattempted to get hold of the necessary evidence, and the conseqdtnce was, that ff erdsfteid, the off6eer, suc- ceeded in putuing the Lord Mayor's warrant into execution upol) the person of Faulkner on Wednesday evening. Nr. Faulkner, upon being brought before the Lord Mayor, ap. -peared much affected at the condition of the prisoner, who bears an e_CceUent character- He eonsiderel it hard that a man should be compeUed to gjve evidence affecting the -life of a fellow-creature, without any proof that a moral offence had been committed or con. templated. He declared, that bad he known the possible conse. quncces of a denial that he was orp of th c unfortunate young mali's gecurities, he wvould at once have admitted it. The Lotew MAYOR said, that painful as the task certainly was, he was obliged, for the safety of the public, to assist in giving the law its course in the iresent instance. Hi5 Ljordship then ordeled that the oath should be administered to Al r.Faulkner, who, before he too', it- remonsttated strongly upon the hardship of being compelled to give evidepce. The witne Aen tAted, but ?ith,conaiderable hcsitation and re. luctance, that ijeither of the rignatures to the bond was his writingl The prisoner was faUy cotanmited for trial.

Alr.

The first case entered into was against ill r. John Fisch. ;;ewitt, the cbief officer, atated, that on Samur(lay lie passed by the premises of the defendant, and that lie saw his dog, which was-a largd and fierce one, at liberty on tlc outside of the door. Air. Fischt, In his defence, conlined himself to the fact, that since Saturdav he had kept fim fastened up, and should continueso to do. M)r. (inlFsFITH8 declared liis intention ofexerting hi1mselfto the utmost of hispower to compel all persons within that district eitlier to muzzle their dogs, or to keep theni otherwiise secured. He should call upon him to cnter Into his own recogniZance ia ten pounjs toant. swer any coniplaints which might be preferred against him at the sessions, for keeping a fierce and tlan erous do-. A similar comnplaint was exhibite against Mr. William Wilson, of Cleveland-strget, for having two dogs at large. AIr.Wilson contended, that the dogs were the property of his man. servant f but it appearing that they were employed in drawing Mr. Wilson's trucks, the Mlagistrate decided tiat that gentleman was liable, and therefore called upon iinm lo enter into his recognizance to kecp the dogs secured. Mlr. Wfilliamn Tltompson appeared to a similar complaint at the instance of Stowell, who stated that he saw thie-dog on Sattrdav eta- ployed in dragging a barrow, and withiout any muzzle. Al r. Thompson, in hlis defence, urged that the dog was now muz. zled, and had been ever sincc Saturday night. He had ordered the muzzle to be made several davs back but had not been able to get it completed at the time spokeri to by tile offcer. Under the circum- StanCes,,MIr. GnIFs ITI-s did not call upon him to enter his recogni. zance, but dismissed the summons on his paying the costs. Air. John lfudsouI also ampeared ona chargeofhaving a largadog, anti suffering it to go at largc, and unmuzzled. The case was proved by Stowell, and the party ordered to enter his ovn recognizance. A gentleman who happened to be in the office stated to ihe ma. gistriate, that in Christfania, duringthe hot weather, all dogs rousd at large became the property of the street.keeper, who, in the event of tile proprietor not being wilting to purchase them back again, was at liberty to destroy them, or to dispose of them to some other party. Alr. Baldok, a builder, and MJr. Hituls, a bricklayer, appeared to an inforir.ation exhibited at the jnstance of Mlr. Wniie, the distifct. surveyorof the parish of Marylebone, charging them with an oftence under the 14th section of the Buihlding Act, in having built the party. wall of a house, in Porrland.terrscr, town, of unsound bricks. ilr. bite prefaced h1is charge by observing, that the act under which thle lnfonnmion was lsid, had only regulated the materials of which party watts and ffues shouldt the consEctd, probably from the circumnistancc that the other parts of thc brick-work wvere alwavs withio view of the eye, and tleir defects therefore easily de- tected. Of late years the immense number of buildings which werebeing constantly erected in the righbourhoodof London, had caused such a demand for bricks, that the supply was found to be inadequate, and the consequence was, that the bricks were remnovetl from the clamps in a half-baked state, and in ronie instances wheni yet nearly red hot. Ie had observed some bricks of this kind on the scaffolding on which the defendant8' men were at work, about ten days back, at which time he gave them notice that they would not be allowrd to use them, and he also left a printed notice at the house of the builder to the same efct.Notwithstandingthi8 notice. he afterwardsdiscovered that the party-wall had been built up of bricks of the quality of which lie produced a sample, and which lie was prepared to declare to be unsound. (Tlie bricks were produced before the lagistrate: they were only in a half-burnt state, and some parts of them crumbied on the slightest pressure.) For the tlefence, it was contended that party.walls of houses all over the parish were being built, with bricks of a similar quality; and it was also urged on behalf of M\r. Baldock, the builder. that the bricks had been used by the workmen without his knouvledge or privity. Mr. White adPt;tted that the offence had become tos general, and it was with a view of checking it, that lie had a short rime back caused printed notices to be cireulatedl generally throughout his dis. trict; andfinding these insufficient to stop the evil he was obliged to adopt the present course, in wlhicl lie should makle no distinction of persons. IUr. srttIFFITlIS thought proceedings of this kind highiv neces. sary, but as It appeared the builder was unconscious of the lkind of bricks which were being used, lie should only corivict the bricklayer in a penalty of Pills. Alr. Whiite returnedl his moiety of the pesalty to the bricklayer. _ _ _ ._ _ POLICE.
