"Snell's, carriers, London-wall, was talking with the waggoner, he observed a man on the other side of the horses heisting a chest of tea upon his shoulders, upon which the latter collared him directly. .The fellow hallooed out, and immediately another stout fellow came up to his assistance. Between them, they threw the chest upon the porter's toes, which made him lose his hold of the thief, and at the name instant the new comer struck him a blow in the face. In the interim the thief escaped. The porter, however, seized the fellow who had struck him, and, in spite of a most desperate resistance, secured him. The prisoner gave his name WM. AMIIISOIt, and said he was passing accidentally, when seeing the row, and being drunk, he went into the midst of it, when the porter struck him, and he, in consequence, returned the blow.—CoMmitted.  Maalsiottotton-szatrr.—Mr. Turner, proprietor of the Prince Regent public-house, Woolwich, brought up his own wife, and .7. Locke, an F.tcaeman. He said, some days ago Locke came to take stock• at his house, and took that opportunity of inducing Mrs. Turner to elope with him—she taking at the same time £5OO in cash, and other property. He obtained information which led him to think they had gone to Dover; he went thither, and met his wife in a packet office, with her child, seven years of age, arranging for her passage, when he seized her. She expressed great oontrition, and agreed to return. Ile was prevailed upon by her to return to Woolwich for his chaise cart, that they might get home comfortably together. He hastened back with the chaise, when, to his surprise, he could find no trace of either wife or child ; but after some inquiry, he ascertained that she and the Exciseman had started from Dover in a post-chaise, on the London•road. He got some traces of them, and followed to the Boar and Castle, Oxford-street ; and beyond that he could obtain no clue until Friday, when he pounced upon them in Oxford-street, charged a constable with them, and now solicited permission to charge them with felony. Plank, on searching Locke, tound in his pockets 112 sovereigns, one guinea, and 12s. 6d. in silver; and tied up in a piece of old stocking, in his coat pocket, were 50 sovereigns.—The Magistrate ordered that the parties should be removed to the place where the offence was said to have been committed.  HAtton-Goonm—Jahn rrantlin was charged with cutting and maiming, John 'Reynolds with a knife. The complainant superintended his brother's work, who is a intSin-bakt r in Great Sutton-street, (ilerkenwell. Seeing the prisoner sterling some muffins, he upbraided him ; the prisoner then seized a red-hot iron, and made a thrust at the complainant, who parried it off, when the prisoner struck him with the iron on the arm. Ile then seized a knife, the blade of which was six inches long. Tae complainant ran into the street, and the prisoner ran after him, swearing be would murder him, and made a stab; which the complainant warded off, in doing which his thumb was cut nearly off, and he received a second cut across the back of his hand, which cur through the sinews. The complainant then ran back into the shop, wkere the prisoner pursued him, and again attacked him with the knife, and cut his atm across to the bone, when some persons came to the complainant's assistance and secured the prisoner.—lle was committed for further examination. Woasuir-svanwr.—Five Licensed Victuallers were on Friday severally convicted in the mitigated penalties, one of 10s. two of 20s. and two of 40s. and costs, for keeping their house: open after eleven o'clock at night. In the case of one of them, the oificers stated they were obstructed ty the landlord, and that since th. t night they were offered £4 not to bring' the case before the Magistrates. It appeared, however, that the landlord did not iF.tas tionally obstruct them, and that a Gentleman of his own accord "offered a bribe to the officers, thinking it better that he and his friends should not appear at this Office, but the officers declined any compromise on the occasion. Saturday, Middlesex, a man of colour, residing in Cowcross, was fully conitnitted, charged with being a wholesale dealer in counterfeit coin.
