Mr. &vat. said this was not a case Tor convicting.  The officer sail, if this were admitted, there nould always he found an excuse for parlour cuatom, and it would be no use foe the slicers to trouble themselves about the parlour. Mr. Bevitaa—Nor is it cur wish that you should nimble your with the parlour custom, where it is so respectable. 'the Act of Parliament says " late hours;" and in deciding what Late hours are, It leaves it to the discretion of the Magistrates, and in exercising that discretion they are aware that what are late hours to one class of persons, may ni t be late.baurs to another; and what may be a late hour for a labourer, may not be a late hour for a nobleman, or a person in a differefit statipn of life.

The child was subsequently recovered; but the complainant felt herself so much aggrieved, that she had her apprehended, and the husband and a great number of friends attended. On the Magitrate directing Mrs. Coates to find bail, she declared she could not, and a violent altercation on.6mily affairs ensued. The Dace tor, a mild, gentlemanly man, repeatedly held out the olive branch, and three Magistrates Wll4 were on the Bench zealously interf.red to reconcile the parties; but the Lady seas stubborn the Doctor, she said, would murder her, and bad a rriend who wouid then swear he was in.ane. At length, boVrever, they retiraß with a pray( et of coming to an arrangement. -The driver of the backney-ch.krior, N 0.17, was charged with cruelly beating his horses. The pri;on.r expressed sorrow fol. his conduct ; and Mr. Mtasouat. said; is it was the first in.. fringement of the new Act which had come under his cognizance, he would inflict the lowest penalty, which was ten shillings;— but his master refusing to advance this trifling sum, he was committed for four days.
