Betta has been a hairdresser, residing in Round-court, Strand. A very respectable-looking man, weho stated hirtself to be 80 years of age, but did not appear to be above 60, who said hii name was Mar'k Tanrner, a ship-chandler, residing at No. 9, Mill Pond-street, Bermondsey, was brought to thie oftce by Read, one of the Bow- street patrol, who stated, that he found the prisoner at the top of Oxford-street, near Cumberland.gate, holding the large placard pro- duced in his hand, with a crowd of persons collected round huim, to whem lie was distributing pamphlets from a bag full, which stood by his side. Mr. CONANAT, the hiagistrate, looked over the placard, which was printed on a large piece of canvass, and it was-headed " Anz Addrerm to hig Msjesty 1rltg fcorgc IV." It wetit on to state, that tbe ministers and goverttgauthorit:es of this co'ntrv are not adopting the proper means to check the progress of itreltgion, &c. In the land; and that he (the prisonet') had determined to awakei the nation to a just sease of its danver from atheists, deiete, &c. The pamphlets were of difibrent titles-one called "1 Thur Flaninig Sword of Jrstieei -" another, " The 'ing's Letter ;" that is, said the prisoner,-the king's Letter of Patent from the Throne of the Most High. The Magistrate, addressing the prisotier, said, that his anode of proceeding was a very unlikely one of brinrging the lilinisters of the country to a proper sense of what he considered their duty, bemause Jtwas a millon to one if any of them bhould pas or stop in Ox- ford-sireet to read his pamp.et er placard. The prisoner salA tbst at all events he must do his duty by caling public Lttn-tion to Ctav esvllc. After various obiemationrs of this nature from the poor sinar, hich clearly shoVed that he w ar 9 Stter Object for commiseration than punisbment, lllr. CONANST directed thet inquiries should be made abont him at hie addrcss, and his -friends informed of his situation, and, in the mean time, that the pamphlets, &c. sbould be taken care of, and the poor man himself was told that he mig,ht cal5 at any hour he pleased the next day. as it was not intended to keep him in custody, ead he wotald ther. get an answer as to the disposal of' his placard. Mr. Ellis, a iilvenrsnitil, residing in John..tteet, Oxford-street, npplied to Mr. COXANT for permission to c6tmunircate *tith Mr. Fauntleroy. itlr. Elfisaid, that having occasion to comtj3unicate with AiJr. Fauistl^roy upon particular businesa, he went to the Houa of Cor- rection for that purpose, but wa:s refused permtsiion by the Gover- nor of he prison to see him. He thoen wrrote a letter to ir. Faunt- acos', but (ihe (,ovetnor also refused to delsver this until it should be seen by the comlitting Magistrate, and te letter new remairs in the innds of the Governor. VIr. ,COVAN-T saifl that it was contrary to the rules and r'egula. tions of the prison to admit of any communication, written or other. wise, until petmission was had from the committing Magistrate. He (lIr. Conant) said, however, that, with tbe permission of Mr. Ellis, if he wishcd it, he would peruse the letter, and theoL give hit; an answer to his application. Mir. Ellis said, he had not the slightest objection to this, as the letter was purely on business. A9rsn froach, a girl in the service of AIrs. Warren, of Eton.street, Pimlico, was filly conmmitted for trial, on a charge of robbing her mistress of a quantity of plate and other property. A Gentleman, who reuresented himself to be a solicitor, applied to the magistrate to know if he could obtain a warrant against a ccr_ tarn sexton of a certain parish, which, for eertain reasons he did not wish at present to name, for removing a certain boay from the churchyard of the Raid parish, without the knowledge of certain rc- latives to the deceased. M1r. CONANT Said that he would not issue a warrant without hearing some further particulars. The ayplicsunt then produced his client on wbose bebalf he made the application, to state the whoile case. Alt. Ssnith, landlord of the Plough public-house, at Kinrel-green stated, that lie purchased asout five years agno a piece of icrousld as a freehold buryinig-place fbr bis family, for vwhich he paidl eight uineas, in a particular churchyard. A Mrs. Adaws a relation of nis, had since been buried there, and he lad lately (iscovered that the bo(ly of .lrs. Adanms and the coffin had been removed, by the consent of the sexton, without letting him (Mr. .9nith) knovw ary tting of the circumstance. And to accunt for this comdisct, the sexton rays that he acted bv the direction of Mr. Adams, the son- in-law of'rhe deceased, wbo bad the body taken up to be retnored to anothier place. Mr. CONAxaT raid that lie could not grant anv wrarrant upon such grouinds; he supposed the wvhole was a family dispute, in which he could not interfere; nor could he see any offence that was tom- intted by the sexton. The applicants then withdrew.
