MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-Mr. H...
1UARLBOtROUG.HSTUEET.-MTr. Henry Htlnt came to this of: fice on Saturday, and addiressing Messrs. yyit and COTA1T, the presiding magistrates, said, that he had to complain of a very great grievance in the publication of the er-parte statements of a foreign lady, who caslld herself Mladame de Gill, as frequently made by her at thia office. Fe held in his hand a morning paper, in which a minute account was given of the complaints made by this lady against Iilm, which, in paint of fact and realits, had no foundation whatever. In the first place, it was not true that he had got posses- sion of the premises whicbhhe occupied in Pall-mall, by any strata- gem. wletook them uneer a regular contract for a lease from the proprietor, Colonel Ashworth, to whom, by the by, said Mlr. Hunt, thislady was no more related than 8he was to him.- CoonelAshworth had, holwever, since taken it into his bead that he had made a bad bargain, and refused to fulfil his engagement, and is endeavour. ing to evade doing so by some legal process; but lhe (Mr. Hlunt) had filed a bill in Chiancery to compel the Colonel to complete his agree. rnent, although, in point of fact, the bargain was a very dear one, for he(Mlr; Hunt)paid a rent more than the prenlises were worth * and what was mnore, paid that rent always in advance. As to the irregtn- larities said to be carried on iu his shop, and the great nuisance it was described to be in thie neighbourhood, Alr. Hunt said there was not a syllable of truth in the assertion. The shop was closed regularly every night at ten o'clock, and it was only on one occasion that any noise whatever was made on the preniises, and that occurred a few nights ago, *vhen one of the persons in his employment was married, and they bad a sort of mnerry-making and wedding in the house, which, perhaps, might have been kept up to rather a late hour; but this was the whole of the riot complained of. With respect to the neighbours complaining of a nuisance, or his shop being, as it was termed in the paper be- fore him, " a radical coffee-shop," it was quite the reverse ; and in fact oughit to be called the Royal Roasted Corn Warehouse, and should have the Etoyal arms over it, tor there was scarcely a monr- ing that the servants from Carlton-house did not come over and purchase large quantities of his roasted grain; and it was well known that even His lMlajesty had used it, and expressed his appro- bation of its flavour, and the wholesomeness and nutrition of its qualities; and notonly this, but most of ffis Mlajesty'sAlinisterssent to purchase lOOlb. weight at a time, and used it in their establish- ments. Lr. CON ANT said, that lie was glad to hear that AMr.Elunt's spe- culation had succeeded so well, and he had no doubt but the grain sold by MIr. Hunt made a very wholesome beverage. IVIr. Hunit assured the magistrate that it did, and entered into a long descrip. tion, and a chymical analysis,of its component parts, and ended with expressing his surprise that any inagistrate should consider his shiep a nuisance, as Sir George Farrant was stated to have said. AI r. DYEs assured Mr. Hunt that Sir George Farrant said no suci thin" nor indeed was he represented to hare said so. All Sir George said waq, that if the neighbours considered the house as the ladv stated, to be a nuisance, they might indict it as such. Ir. Hunt said there was nothing wrong in that advice, and then left the oice.
