Once since, he had received it loaf front him which was deficient eight ounces and a liftlf. Mr. Nilsen, in his Ilervoice, stated, that his bread was par ticularly moist; that this circumstance, together with the chipping of the frosts, and the knocking off of the corners of the bread in its carriage to his customers, might account for a deficiency or name than 2 minces; that be always weightd his bread at it came nut of the oven, and it was extraordina ry it should be always thr full weight at his shop, and defi cient at his customers' houses. The Nlagistrate observed, that the fault might be in his own scales. We arc particularly indebted to Mr. Browne for tlik complaint, said lie. The public are obliged to any geotlemaii who will lake the ti noble to detect and convict a uaker who sells light bread. It is a matter of great import ance. By the late act, we can take cognizance of none which has nut been houghs, and is not complained of by the purchaser. Tints the pour, with whom bread is the chief article of sostemaiire, and who cannot afford to complain, are obligril to ;tibiae by the loss. I ag.ain say we are indebted to Mr.B.rowne for this complaint ; and it would be well if every gentleman. who, like him, can afford it, would be equally vigilant for. the Astke of his poorer nrighbouis. 'This being the first charge of the kind against Ansell, he was convicted in only half the penalty. We;hiesday, Joseph Knight, a well known character, was brought up by Thompson, a constable, charged by Mr. J. Denson, with picking his packet of a silk handkerchief. The otlicer stated that he saw the prisoner on Tuesday even ing in High Holbert', following the prosecutor, and suspect lug him, watched him. and heard him say to two of his com paiiions, " He off, be after him myself;" and soon after witness saw the prisoner draw the hanilkei chief from the pocket of the prosecutor, when he took him into custody. It appears the prisoner belongs to a gang of thieves, who are dressed in white aprons to give themselves the appearance of porters. The prisoner Wal telly committed to Newgate fur trial. OtT: POLICE. MAN lION HOUSE. A NOTHrn SHIP BOUND YOH Ni', York.—Thortflay W. J. Reynolds, hi ;Apr of 12, 'llarogmortoo-street, appeared to musser the complaint of John Watkins, who the day lielme mentioned to the Lord Nlay or 'tine circumstance' relative to the ship Isabella, hound for New York, and now Iviu;; in the 'fliames without ;my probability of performing the s oy. sae. The complainant having repeated the giounds ul his sippliention. The Rroker admitted, without hesitation, that the promises he had made to the passengeia .") weeks ago, that the ship should set sail without delay, and that their comforts should he partienlatly :mend to, were not kept with the necessary punctuality. 'l'lle Guilt, however, he declared, did not rest with him. It was his duty to reecive t h e passage mutes, iu confo; unity with the order of lit. 11;11 the charterer of the ship, to whom he handuil uve his ieceipis, and that ditty Ile performed. The Lord 'Mayor said, he understood the passengers se err in 3 most deplorable condition, there being little or no pro• visions on board, The broker said, there were some provisions on board, but not at all stitfieis nt for 6.1 persons, for which accommodation was professed to have been The Lord Alayor —‘t by is not Mr. Guyard here? The Broker and some otaers said. Mr. litiyard had been in the office tip w a rtis of au hour. The name. was called, but there %AS Ito answer. The complainant said, he could not conceive that there was only one culpable persons engaged in the ti ansaetion.— The many gross ini•representdtiotts made by Mr. Reynolds to the nufurttanate persons on board favoured this suspicion. The Broker declared, that lie was %%holly blameless. He had received how the passengers 4:121., of which he pro &cell the particulars in a book, and had paid that stain to Ni'. Gnyard. A militate person here stated, that he had paid for his pas sage upon the assurance that the ship would sail immediately after he had paid the money. 'flue disappointment was of course exceedingly unpleasant: bot what he had mo•t reason to deplore was the situation of a number of poor Germans, who suffered inure keenly front the delay, being under the necessity of begging every day in the streets. The Broker admitted thi• consequence of the unfortunate arrangements, said the ease was excessively crJel, but dis claimed any participation in the conduct that brought his fellow-creatures to such an extremity. The Captain of the slip represented matters on• board as ♦ery exceptionable. He oC course crushd not think of sail ing without sufficient jirosisions ; the altet nabs e of starving at sea being worse than that of running the hazard of starv ing The Lord Mayor.—This is a most lamentable case? what dues the owner say to it ? The Owner said lie could not be justified in allowine the ship to sail without coining to a settlement with 'lr. aid, from whom he had received the sum of 1701. instead of %al, to which his claim amounted. John Watkins.—l presume them is a partnership between you and Mr. Guyard The Ilruker.---No such thing ; I am merely employed by Lim ;is a broker. I regret the delay, hat I could nut help it. John Watkins.--The wretchedness and anxiety iu the chip lre indeseribalde, and for God's sake can there he no re di est• The Lord Mayor.—This case bears a strong resemblance to that which is now so well known, and we must do oar Aitinost to put an end to such a horrible traffic. Is there slily hotly here who has paid for his passage to Mr. Guy ard Mimelf? A gentleman immediately answered from the crowd, who were interested in the matter, that he had paid WI. to Mr. llin,ard upon the occasion. The Lord Nlavor. • 'limn let a summons be served upon Mr. Guyard. lie must account for the delay. Where does be live? John Watkins.—He and Mr. Reynolds live at No. 12, Throg nun rect. The Broker.—We live in the same building, but there is no more connexion between us Omni have mentioned. Friday, a gentleman upon the part ot• Mr. Guyon!, the chart, e, r of the ship Isabella, requested that the Lord Mayor would postpone the examination of the cause of complaint for a few days. He assured his Lordship, that arrangements wee making with the utmost expedition for the departure of the slop, and That by Monday uext every thing %amid be must satisfactorily regulated. John Watkins had no objection to the postponement, pro• sided every thing was done as it ought to be dune. .loieday would determine that. The Lord Ma)or.—l consent to the postponement. I have considted au eminent solicitor, and find there are grounds fur a criminal prosecution in the Cu mit of any further cousin. mince of this matter ; but a criminal prosecution cannot sorry those passenger., and I trust there will be uo necessity tia it.

HATTON GARDEN. BAKERS.-- Allst•ll,3lllTikil appeared to answer the complaint tat MI. Browne, a Vt.i) respectable Itabitaut of that village. !Br. Browne Slimed, that one day last week he had called at Mr. <tt i sell's shop, and bought r.itir quark:En loaves of that dad's baking, UR taking theut home he weighed them, when NA' BOW-ST RE ET.

The account she gave of the possession of such articles, was, that she had brought them from her husband in Newgate, who was a convict there 'toiler sentence of II p.m.,. transportation. In consequence of this statement, Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, and one of his turnkeys, attended the examination, when the turnkey identified the clothes to be the tame that she brought out of Newgate, winch belonged to her husband, and which he used there (hiring his confinement previous to his being sent ott to Bo tany Bay. He stated, that he examined the bed clothes very particularly previous to her bringing them out of the prison, and he was positive the picklock keys and saw were not among them then. Mr. Brown observed, that it was impossible to guard against the ingenuity of women , without they were stripped entirely naked, as they had been known to take improper things into Newgate in cabbages and bacon. The turnkey said, he had no doubt but the largest pick lock key would open the gates of Newgate. %Ir. Brown asked him which he meant, he replied the iron gates, but did not think that James would have eventually escaped out of the prism'. Vickery, the officer, examined them, and said they were the best pick lock keys he had ever seen. The largest was made to act both ways, and he had no doubt but that it would open any lock it euuld enter. James and his father were allowed to he the best manufacturers of picklock keys that were known. He had seen a sack full ut their making. Mr. Brown observed, that the prisoaer had applied fur permission to accompany her husband to Botany Bay, but her late conduct was not the way to gain that object. There being no direct charge against her, she was discharged. QUEEN•SQU ARE.

In another room lie found 20 pee king cases made of thin sheet iron, calculated to hold each 1,000 of the pieces.
