Cook submitted. that if the charge of felony could not be against his -wife, it could be against his daughter, and he must insist open that charge being gene into. Mr. '.lkon and Mr. Fish. the other Magistrate, both argued with Lint amt urged the unnatural Inte of conduct he was adopting, but he still penalised in hi charge. Mi. Stihsti then observed, that he hail nothing snore to do wit'a it. 'Proof had already been given that he (Cook) had treated lvv wifo with ernelty, and it now appeared that he had kit both her and her daugh ter without Support. Mrs. Cook had taken some of his property, this the law gave hint back. Her daughter attached to her mother's for tones, and disgusted pith the conduct of her father, had. perhaps, aided and assisted her; but what was done, was done under the in *mire of her mother, and God forbid such a circumstance should be tortured into felony, eves to gratify the fylings of a faller. He, at least, would-not be the person so to consttue it. He should. thendine, discharge bath mother and daughter. One word of advice he had to give, and that was, that he. (Cook) should now hand over to his wife and daughter, put eflhe Isl. be had just received front Hall, for their esent support. 'flue complainant appeared greatly dissatisfied at the Magistrate's decision, and positively refused to give them a single shilling at present. Mr. Felton then advised them to apply, without delay, for relief, to the parish, and again advised Cook to prevent them doing so, for should they be chargeable only for a light supper, and the parish ntheers apply for a warrant next day to apprehend him for deserting his tinnily, it would be granted, and the result of such a proceeding /night be mete scrims than he was aware of. .MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

Their names are Bartholomew Spaw, alias Gee, James Pike, and Richard Davidge. The gang acted as plumbers, equipped in form, and Davidge was the master, whose business was first to knock at the door, and by false reiwescntations, such as belonging to a Water-works Company, or by any other motive, the jouriweatew were ushered in to examine the pipes ; but their object was to secure light moveables, Mkt many thonsandpoundsworth of plate. tic. har; thus been stolen.
