upon the professional person employed to issue the writ against one of the parties who were arrested He stated that the prisoner applied to Mr Biown in the regular way and produced the document upon the authority of which the affidavit of debt was drawn in the case in which Burchardt was defendant The de fendant employed Hr Isaacs the attorney who after the arrest called upon Mr Brown to tender bail and stated his belief that his client did not owe a farthing of the money and that the whole was a fraud The bail was accepted and afierwards the parties called at Mr offices and paid the fees which were upon a reduced scale on account of the circumstances as represented by Mr Isaacs The Lord Mayor: Was the prisoner known at Mr offices The Clerk He had called upon business of a similar kind about twelve months ago but Mr Brown refused to act for him and that gentleman would not have issued the writ in this case if the prisoner had not asserted so positively that the money was due to him He was particularly questioned about the debt which was 70 and was perfectly aware of the consequences to which a false affidavit would subject him The Lord Mayor And Burchardt savs that he never had had dealings with him and never even saw him in his life before these proceedings were takeD Burchardt: 1 never did my lord in my life Prisoner Aye so thev all say Why my Lord? there is 300 of them

Ptisoner: What Why I can explain it all my Lord (Laughter) This Marks Israelis the cause of all this All the Jews in Cutler-street are in a conspiracy against me I do assure you that these people owe me the money The Lord Mayor: You must convince a jury of that if you mean to serve yourself I shall commit you to Newgate for trial The prisoner was then committed upon the charge of having extorted money from one of the Jews (Aaron Bernstein) by arresting him for a considerable sum upon a false affidavit The office was crowded during the investigation which caused a gieat deal of curiosity

and Air Scarlett on accurate investigation of the votes supposed to be bad it was found that of that number they could not defind 21 given to the Alarquis of Douro and 25 given to Air Scarlett The result would be that the numbers on the poll taking some who were divided lor the candidates would stand thus For the Alarquis of Douro 1842 Air Smith 1841 Air Scarlett 1840 Without going into evidence he would take the shorter course and admit these to be bad votes The committee then came to the usual resolutions That the Honourable Chas Wellesley commonly called the Alarquis of Douro and

the assembling of the committee Mr Austin informed them that having attentively considered in support of the petition although they had a strong case in support of the allegation of bribery yet they saw a technical difficulty in proving agency Taking this into consideration and knowing the great expense it must entail the petitioners have come to the determination of proceeding no further The committee then resolved that Thomas Hope Esq was duly elected and that the petition against the return was not frivolous or vexatious nor the opposition thereto We heard it talked of in the room at the close of the en quiry that the condition upon which the petiiion rs agreed to abandon their case was on the understanding that Air Hope should pay all the expenses of the petition accept the Chilcern Hundreds on Monday evening and again stand for Gloucester This is sirange THE CORONATION Meeting at the Freemason's Tavern We do not imagine that the Marquis of Londonderry is likely to busy himself again in getting up meetings for the purpose of petitioning the Queen for the postponement of her coronation On Friday he had a lesson which even he will not soon forget Experience they say keeps a dear school but certain people will learn in no other The noble marquis has been agitating in London and Westminster he has made speeches in the House of Peers he has written letters to the Lord Mayor and he has been mainly instrumental in cal'ing together a collection of people at Tavern on Friday The meeting altogether was one of the most uproarious and disorderljl we ever remember to have been present at The contest was a most keen one during the whole day id it was quite a matter of unceitainty for a long period which candidaie would be returned At two Lord John Churchill headed his brother by two votes but from that time until the final closing of the poll he did not we believe obtain another vote while seven more votes were polled for the Alarquis of Blandford These last votes came in very slowly as nearly all the strength of the con-situency had been exhausted The Al arquis of Blandford 160 Lord John Churchill 155 Alajority for the Alarquis of Blandford 5 EXECUTION

instant and to proceed without tielav in their proposed demolition of the wreck of the brig William which lies at the bottom of the Thames The colonel has been training some of the Royal Sappers and Miners to conduct the under-water operations in the use of the diving helmet after having satisfied himself that there is neither danger nor difficulty in the use of the ap paratus by his own experience having gone down himself to put the matter to the test he says I thought was the best way of forming a judgment of the practicability of the proposed With regard to the danger to vessels

Edward Matthews was charged with assaulting Robert Winder in Newgate-market The case exhibited the march of gentlemanly feelings among the journeymen butchers to which class the paities belong Winder explained that he was engaged in selling his meat when the defendant who is a weigher on the same premises came to him and asked him if he had got a bunch of greens The inquiry was put as a quix and he quietly told him no There the matier dropped tor an hour when the defendant provokingly inquired again if he had got a cabbage He answered no but if he wanted a bit of fat he might get some at Mr The defendant instantly struck him in the face He did not return the blow though he believed he was as good a man as defendant but he thought it would be a more gentlemanly way te acquit himself to appeal to the magistrates Alatthews after he had recovered from his surprise at what he had just heard said he was quite as respectable in his behaviour as the complainant who as yet was only a butcher's Winder assured the alderman he had been out of his apprenticeship several months Matthews re unied Winder had lately married a daughter and the defendant and his companions were butcher-iike in the habit of him a bit about it Butcher-like no replied the alderman Winder begged to explainthat he had married the daughter of a market-gardener a respectable lady Matthews went on again almost in tears He had misbehaved about four years ago but his master Mr Colling-wiud forgve him and he had reformed and it was cruel to bring up the bit of fat and throw it at him Mr Alderman Lains told him he should remember that he commenced the and that he should never suffer passion to get the better of discretion He asked the complainant if lie wished to press the charge at the sessions inder said no he only wanted to be protected so that he might not be obliged to tight like a common blackguard The Alderman exacted a solemn pledge from Alatthews that he would neither provoke nor strike the complaiuant again and dismissed the parties TOWN-HALL THE POOR-LAW COM 51 16SIONE RS AND PUBLIC AlORALS On Saturday Phillis Wood a protector of unfortunate girls and who resides in Grirth h's-ren Kent-sneet was charged th unlawfully detaining the clothes ot Maria Povey Several similar cases had during the week being proved before Alderman Farehro-ther of so digram a nature that he wag induced to direct the parochial authorities to prefer bills of indictment against parties concerned The ror girl in the present instance it seems had been duped in the manner which Hogatth has ably depicted in the scene of the country girl coming to town By her statement it appears that she had been seduced by a nobleman and then thrown like a blasted flower to be trodden on by the worthless and the base Having fallen from her purity she became the organ of profit to Mrs Wood but now having an opportunity to go to a situation whereby she might regain a character Airs Wood refused to give up her clothes Aldetm tn Farcbrother having heard the evidence said she ought to be indicted Inspector Cor-uorphon said the parish would not prosecute Alderman Farcbrother What palish is this house in

the expenses Alderman Farebrother You hear what you are charged detaining this po rr Defendant Very good Alderman Farebrother: not very good very in-famous Defendant: Just as you please your worship All I know is a perfect moiher to them Alderman Farebrother: And all I know is you are the most impudent woman even of your class that ever appeared before me Alother indeed you profane the name What do you ask of this poor girl Defendant 3 18s 5d I turns out respectable Alderman I doubt it Now as a lesson to those in your infamous calling I shall hold you to bail for keeping such a house and to suppress such iniquitous dens I shall order indictments to be laid and it the Poor-law Commissioners after this examination Tefuse to pay the expenses parliament must be petitioned on the subject RIGHT AND WRONG On Friday a worthy known as Bob Smart Ihe common informer but as Sir Peter Laurie designates him or off-side appeared before that alderman to support a complaint against the driver of one of the drays of Air Plimmer a brewer in Bel-videre-place Southwark-bridge-road for riding on the shafts of his dray The defendant appeared with a smirk on his countenance which perfectly paralyzed Bob who although he did not exactly understand the thing knew it was all wrong The defendant asked why he was summoned Smart For riding on your shafts Deiendant I nor you see me It was only what your pal Harry Smith told you You knows he goes out as a put up tor you Sir Peter Laurie What is your name? Defendant John Atkins Sir Sir Peter Laurie Ah you are servant to Mr Plummer re you Defendant No Sir I not at all sarwent to Air Plimmer and I jest want to take an adwantage of that teller Now 1 right when 1 say that wrong cos he summoned my master in the wrong name (Laughter) Sir Peter Laurie (laughing) Why I think he is and so I shall decide Smart you are a very unlucky man and you informers take a great deal of trouble to do wrong you must pay the costs for this The summons was discharged to the gratification of all who saw Smart MARLBOROUGH-STREET A COMMISSION DIGN1 Mr Henry Ridding appeiiredon Wednesday before Mr Dyer on theml-lowing charge Dr Evans recently rented a furnished house belonging to Air Taylor when the house was delivered up a dispute occurred respecting the value of certain breakages which was referred for decision to the Castle-street Court of Requests The case was to have been heard on Tuesday and Dr Evans at three attended at the cou tand told the commissioners he was summoned to give evidence befote a committee of the Hous of Commons and he would therefore be obliged to go iway and return again at five The defendant a friend was requested by Dr Evans to wait until the plaintiff came in order that the reason of his absence might he properly explained Air Taylor came shortly after three o'clock and acting on the provisions of the new act relatiugto Cnurtsot Requests applied for the hearing of the case The defend int represented the state of matters to the court but the court decided on proceeding with the case in Dr absence and made an a ard accordingly The defendant became rather warm in the expression of his feelings at what he conceived to be an arbitrary mode of proc eding and lie snapped his fingers with the observation that the commissioners might do as they pleased as he did not care hew they acted In the new Act a clause from the old one had been embodied which gives the power to these courts of ordering any one into custody for contempt Tins action of the was construed into a mark of contempt and accordingly the chairman called him back and said that had the defendant been a person in a mean station of life lie should have felt no surprise at what had occurred but as the defendant had the appearance of a gentlemen his conduot was inexcusable The defendant expressed his feelings of respect towar Is the chairman but his sentiments towards one of the commissioners (pointing the com missioner out) were of a tut ally opposite nature The commissioners on this determined upon treating the aftair al a contempt of court and accordingly the defendant was given into custody and lodged in the Vine-street station-house Inspector Haining on his own responsibility admitted the defendant to bail When the defendant was brought before Air Dyer the matter was stated as above and it appeared that the penalty for contempt of court was not more than 61 together with a term of imprisonment not exceeding seven days Air Alarriott the chairman of the commissioners said it was by no means the wish of the court to press for severe punishment the object of the present proceedings being intended solely to vindicate the power of the court and to show that it had the power of punishing any intentional disrespect Air Dyer lectured the defendant on the impropriety he had been guilty of The defendant admitted he had used the action complained of and alleged in extenuation that it appeared to him to be an extraordinary proceeding on the part the court The Chairman said the plaintiff had asked and obtained no more than what the law sanctioned Air Dyer then inflicted the fine of 1 and remitted the imprisonment THE GOVERNOR OF BERAIUDA On Thurs day the domestics recently in the service of Sir Andrew Leith Hay ti newly-appointed governor of Bermuda came to this office and applied to the sitting magistrate Air Chambers for advice in the following awkward dilemma: The spokesman said that himself and com pantuns had been in Sir service for some time and they had unfortunately been compelled to le( their wages run into arrears in ome cases for so long a period as fourteen months When Sir Andrew luckily got appointed to his new office they were in expectation that their claims would be speedily liquidated and they therefore felt no alarm when Sir Andrew took his departure from his residence at Fulham A few days ago however Lady Hay likewise left the place to join her husband and the servants seven in number were left behind in the house with their claims unsettled The servan had an assurance from Sir Andrew's agent that their wages should be paid but yesterday under an authority from the Court of Chancery a policeman came and turned them out and by virtue of the order all that was on the premises including even their clothes was detained in satisfaction of the claim All the servants were in a miserable plight not only on account of their long arrears of wages but because their little stock of wearing apparel had been seised in such an unexpected manner Air Chambers asked how the servants could be so imprudent as to let their wag stand for so long a time The applicants replied they had been deluded from time to time by promises and that had induced them to wait Air Chambers said he regietted he had no uower to order the restitution of the clothes of the applicants It was a very hard case and the only advice he could give the parties was that they should proceed to the Court of Chancery and in open court make the same statemen to the Chancellor as they had made to him He had not the least doubt his lordship would take their application into consideration The parties thanked the magistrate and retired Ql'EEN-SQUARE THE FAITHL c-SS PHIbLIS AND HER On Wednesday Charles Gibbins a genuine Cockneyite with a most unpoetical visage was charged with assaulting Clementina Osborne a pretty little dark-eyed brunette The complainant previous to stating the circumstances of the a-siult informed the bench that the defendant had for sometime past had the impudence to pay his addresses to her and though she always treated them with yet he continued to annoy her On Tuesday evening last she went by spicial to a at a house in Alalay-gardens Chelsea and upon entering the room where the company were assembled the first object that presented itself to her sight and notice was her odious He however very mded her a seat and then placing himself by her side began talking of a brand in his and such like nonsense when she told him she hated the sight of him and to go away from her The defendant rose from Ins scat called her a faithless and left the room She then saw no more of him until she was putting on her bonnet and shawl when he presented himself again called her faithless smacked her face tore her bonnet and shawl off and said she should not stir a peg from that place until she promised to make him happy A policeman however was called in who took the man of tender passion to the station house where his feelings soon subsided Air White (to the defendant) What have you to say in excuse for your foolish conduct Defendant (crying and looking imploringlv upon the complainant): She niver luved me niver though I luves her and vouid die for her yes that I vouid your vorship I tempted to romance with her last night ven she called me a (Here the mt made a dead pause) Air White What did she call you Defendant (blub-b run: aloud) A niucumpoop" (Roars of laughter in which ffe bench joined Air White You had better pay your addresses in a more favourable quarter it is evident the young woman does not like you Complainant: Like him! I detests him as soon have a kangaroo for my husband Loud laughter Deiendant: Kangaroo indeed Vy you knows Clementina I gets two shillings more a week than that ere fellow wot you prtends to like betterer than me Air White: You must not show proofs of your affection if you must make love do it without smacking the lady's face or tearing her bonnet You must pay 10 Defendant: I got it The knight of the tender passion was then removed HA TTON-GARDEN BRUTAL On 1 uesday John Callahan a ferocious looking fellow was placed at the bar charged by Airs Jane Alott the wife of Air John Wm Alott printer of No 21 Bowling-green-lane Clerkenweil with the following unmanly outrage The prosecutrix who was far advanced in pregnancy was supported into the office and allowed a chair whilst giving her evidence Being sworn with much difficulty she stated that on Monday night last about nine she was proceeding to her residence along Coppice-row Clerkenweil and on her arrival opposite the workhouse the prisoner and two other men stopped her when one of them chucked her under the chin and made use of an indecent expression and another came up and violently seized her and tore her clothes from her bosom and conducted himself in an unbecoming manner Shescreamed out and called Police when the prisoner lifted her clothes up and she struck him on which he knocked her down and kicked her several times and she lay on the ground in the greatest agony unable to move until she was taken into Clerkenweil workhouse where she was attended by a medical gentleman Sergeant Ashton stated that on hearing the screams of the prosecutrix he proceeded to the spot and seeing the pri oner running away he pursued am! overlook him when he made a desperate resistance and he succeeded in taking him into ci stody Air Benett told the prisoner that the consequence might eventually prove to be more serious than he seemed to imagine and asked him what he had to say to such a brutal outrage upon a helpless woman The prisoner asked for merry saying he had a wife and family Air Benett said he never heard of a more unmanly and infamous proceeding He remanded the prisoner The prisoner was then locked up and Airs Alott was suppoited out of the office evidently in a dangerous state and conveyed to her residence in a hackney-coach The Missed Snuff box The snuff-box which Mr Flood lost at the Easter bauquet has been restored to him The facts are these Mr Flood quitted his seat late in the eveuiag and retired to another part of the hall and a gentleman who belongs to a great mercantile establishment in the City (the principal of which had presented him with a ticket) and who had a seat near Mr Flood had occasion also to leave his place Upon the return of the latter he saw a snuff-box on the table aud perceiving that uohody was iu the immediate neighbourhood he put it iuto his pocket iu the belief that it would be safer there than in the exposed place in which it lay The next morning he mentioned the circumstance to the clerks and warehousemen of the establishment and while some of them advised him to take the snuff-box to the Lord Mayor others said he had better wait until an advertisement should be issued He was disposed to fol'ow the latter very indiscreet counsel but on taking up a paper of last week he was shocked at finding an account of the loss under the attheMausion aud immediately went to the residence of Mr Flood and removed that apprehensions The gentleman afterwards waited upon the Lord Mayor and explained the occurrence aud his lordship observed upon the occasion that it certainly was the duty of a guest to briug any article which might fall into his hands at the table of the Mansion House to the chief magistrate himself and thus save him a great deal of annoyance It is not our intention toinjure the character or the 'feelings of the individual who so thoughtlessly took this box away in his pocket from the dinner-table at the last Mansion-house entertaiument no as hehas nowr returned it after an absence of lourteen days to its proprietor at Chelsea we shall not further notice it but we Uo most loudly complaiu of any alderman presenting a diuner-ticket to the seeoud and inferior clerk of his warehouse to meet and sit down with the nobility and gentry invited on such occasions Such a total uisregard of decorum must unavoidably injure the reputation of these civic entertainments aud ultimately will deter even the most curious from attending them Muiujer of Ain Austin Cooper The rewards for the apprehension of ihe
