Two respectably dressed females, named rakers, sisters, were placed at the bar, charged, in conjunction with their brother, with committing a desperate assault on a gentleman named Penman, under singular circumstances. From the statement of Mr. Penman, who exhibited a thick stick in the office, and which be had forcibly taken from sir. Walters, it speared that he was occupying pr em i ses cu which t he prisoners conceived they had a right, under some previous agreement. On Tuesday evening the two Miss Wal. ters and their brother came to his (Mr. Penman's) house, and se verely assaulted him, the brother striking him severely with the stick be bald in his hand. The LORD !SAVOR said, that the stick was really a formidable weapon, and asked Mr. Penman how the females conceived they bad a risht to the premises ? Mr. Penman's solicitor said, the case had been before the Com mon Pleas. and dismissed. The fact was, that the sisters, in his opinion, acted under their brother, and a severe assault had been committed upon his client by the sisters at the bar, and their brother, having attacked Mr. Penman simultaneously. —His client had possession of the premises lepily, but the defendants conceived that by virtue of some other agreement they were injured. The only case to be considered by his Lordship was the smelt. Other Courts were open for the trial of the ques don of right of on. The LORD M aresid, if the brother was unable to look to his own affairs, the sisters did right to protect his interest ; but a serious assault bad bees committed, and the sisters must find bail. The brother also was held to bail subsequently.

The labourer bald that he was unable to obtain work, that he had four young children who had been waiting for assistance for six days in a perishing condition. Mr. Mohler (to the beadle)—Why did you not appear before ? The Beadle.—Why, I've had such a desperate bad cold, and it's not to be expected that one can always come out this weather. It's unreasonable to expect it Besides, I have business to attend to, and I can't always be leaving it to attend to these here sum monses. Mr. Hobler.—But I suppose your overseers, whose duty It is to attend, have not ail got colds ; and if they have, are all - those poor creatures to perish with cold in their empty stomachs, because yes well-clothed dignitaries are too delicate to venture out In the wea ther, from which these poor naked wretched wretches are dying? If the Lord Mayer's summonses are not attended to, we shall see whether his warrants will be regarded. The Beadle.—But I eyed them relief. Mr. Hobier.—Man of humanity, what relief did you give them? The applicant declared that the beadle six days ago gave him at the rate of sixpence per mouth, for himself and his wretched family. Mr. Hobler.—And what is the smallest quantity of coals Toucan do with, this weather? Applicant.—A peck of coals each day, costs fourpence, and makes a miserable ere, which will hardly keep life in us. The Beadle.—But why did you net apply to the board? Applicant.—We can get no relief from the board. When I did apply before, they only offered me three shillings a week for the le of myself and family--d: of us in all. support Loso Maros condemned the conduct of the pariah oaken, and directed that immediate and more effectual relief should be given to the pauper and his family. Th. Beadle—My Lord we have this year more poor than ever we hid before. It is impossible for us to get in the taxes. We shall be forced to try to borrow motley ; but as things are going worse, I doa't know who will lend it us. The complaints of pauperism in the City are of late become locoman.
