At Bow Street, on Monday, Mr. Spearman, Secretary to the

Master of the Horse, complained that one of the toll-keepers on Hammer. smith Bridge had taken the sum of three halfpence from Sir George Quentin, Equery to the Duke of Cumberland, as toll for one of the King's horses, which Sir George was riding. Sir George attended and proved the demand and payment of the money, The Secretary of the Bridge Committee urged, that Sir George had no right to escape payment of toll by riding the King's horses. But he was stopped by Sir F. Roe, who said he could not permit that line of argument : it was clear from the Act of Parliament that the Bridge Company were wrong ; and he decreed that they should pay the fine and costs, amount- ing to 21. 7s. 6d.

On Wednesday, the Honourable Mr. Manners Sutton, son of Vis- count Canterbury, attended at this office to answer a complaint brought against him by Mr. Tighe, a pawnbroker, for assaulting himself and his wife. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Tighe, as we find it reported in the Times, that Mr. Sutton behaved in a most unmanly and brutal manner. He said, that on the night of Thursday week,

He then aimed a blow at his wife, and struck her on the eye with such severity that it was bruised and swollen very much, and still occasioned her great pain. The gentleman then jumped into his carriage, and drove off; but from subsequent inquiries, he ascertained that the gentlentan was the son of Lord Canterbury ; and learning that be was to be found at Crockford's, he went there on the following morning to demand an apology for his conduct on the previous night. Ile was shown into a back-room ; where he saw the Honourable Mr. Sutton ; from whom he demanded reparation for the injuries sustained by his wife and himself. Instead, however, of expressing regret for his behaviour, the gentleman placed himself in a boxing attitude, and wanted to fight it out with him. Ile, however, declined that mode of satisfae- thin, and again demanded an apology : which the gentleman appeared willing to make, saying he was d—d sorry for what had occurred, and giving a sort of half promise that he would express his regret in writing to him. lie did not, however, keep his word ; and on a subsequent application, he told him to do his best."
