THE STATESMAN It was here surgested that the prisoner was on !riithrnan, and knew some of the parties who were fight POLICE. M arrstoarotouse.—A man nitned Dynan:, who keeps shop in Field-lane, was broughtbefore the Loan MAYOR, upon rather an extraordinary charge. Mrs. Eames stated that a man earned Sheppard, who was next door neighbour to the prisoner, hail been ap prehended some time ago upon a charge of receiving a 1 isle piece of iron which belonged to the Gas Light Com pany, and which had been stolen a short time before. Shaprarel was committed for trial, and during his stay in prison, Dynam told witness that he would ontlerake to get Shappard out of the bobble altogether, it money was advanced for the purpose. Witness consented to make an endeavour for the ontirtunate man, and got to gether the sum of 251. in the hope that he would escape conviction by its i ofiuence. The hour of trial approach ed. and the prisoner told the witness there was occasion for tuore money, and that the moment that was pit' she might depend upon a prosperous conclasion to the case, witliont the interference of lawyer, barrister; or Judge. Confirmed in her expectation by this assurance, the wit ness raised 11/. more through friends and the pawnbro ker, to the later of whom she was recommended by the ptisener, to whom she gave the whole of the money the moment she became possessed of it. The day of tail ar rived, and the unfortunate Shappard looked about in vain for an aivittal. Mr. Dynam was not to be seen—the evidence proreeileill—notiody seemed to care for the event, ease' t SI-air:led, who, to his surprise and honour, was convicted, and sentenced to be imprisoned sus months and whipped. L'niler these Orem:is-wee., the witness c onsidered that the prisoner bad obtained the money upon false pretences. Mr. HUMPHREYS, the solicitor, attended for the pri soner, and stated that Shappard had 'Petitioned upon his trial that he tint not the assistance of Counsel, in Ponce. ((mend' of the low ebb of his pocket--an ascount which little aereed with the present charge. The prisoner wt:s ordered to find hail. licii.ottatt.—Thos Tilpard an 1 JF,n. Cooper were brought up yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Al derman T. S'attill, charged with a robbery under the following circumstances: — The neighbourhood of Friday-street and the Old Change have of late been much infested early in the mooning by a set of fellows lurking about and watching tlsr it opportunities of robbing the wholesale waiebieuses, , generally at tkat hour empird only by the several per secs cleaning them oat, preparatory to bosineas. A little I lecture S o'clock yeaterday mottling, the journeymen at work in the *shop of Mr. itlaki•slee, carpenter, Friday street, observes! four suapicioes fellows, two of whom were tier priLenPrS, apparently upon the 1 ink out. Mr. Blakeslev's foreman in ronseqaence dispatched one of the men for :Jackson. an officer of the Ward, who at'rnded immediately, and stationed himself at-the corner of Dis taff-lane. to he upon the watch. Evans, the porter, at Mr. Drithoife, wholesale hosier, directly opp *site, had also got sight of the fellows, and was in censeqnence keeprso his eye apon a package Which stood in the pas 'age of Ms master's warehouse. While thus watched. one of the fellows planted himself against Mr. Blakesley's situp 'o take the attention of the men working there; a second, the prisoner Tilyard, placed himself against Mr. Pothoit's warehouse, to prevent the view down the street; and ender cover of this supposed screen the pri soner Cooper very deliberately took the box from Mr. Duthoit's passage upon his !shoulder, and was as deliber ately walking away with it up the street. Sou-of 131akeeley's men pursued, and alter a desperate straggle, secured Cooper , y the box. Tilyarii , who run La in a contrary direction, was met and taken by Jarkson, the esthete, but in ea confusion the other too fellons wade their escape. The box was produced before the Magistrate,andi len tifiecl by Mr. Unthoit as his property; it merely conteined some wrappers. Cooper did not atterrpt any defence for himself, but asserted the innocence of Tilyard. Jk4h the prisoners were committed for trial. Boa -arnarr.—J. TIMMER'S MATRIMONIAL SPE,O..-- tror old John Turner was brought before the Mattis +fates yesterday, charged, for the second time, with having beaten his wife. John Turner lived a haebelor in the world fur many years, and a jocund bachelor he was—always merry, and always industlitius whenever he was in the workin4 hu ewer. lie got into love too, occasionally, for the lasses liked him, anal he liked the lasses, and one of them was even kind etionali to bless him with a daughter; but he alwayi stuck stiffly to his hachelorship, for wedlock, as le said was "an awful thing." At length, about 19 months age, be found himself approaching his sixtieth year, and beginning to fed " lonesome and moped," awl then he thought within himself that wedlock might not, perhaps, he such au awful thing as he. in Lis younger days had considered it, awl then be thought be wool-I venture upon a matrimonial spec. at all events. So he diet, and went and fell in love with Mrs. Mary Ma craw was noticing loth to be courted by John TurnerMa she even professed to love him, and in due time they were n artied. But it was a sad spec. for Julio Turner, and. he soon found that wedloil; was a touch more awful thing ti au he, with all hie fears, had ever contemplated. It was nottriog but mangling from morning till night— ZnanC'e. mangle, mangle, and John Turner Inuit turn the to.ngling a heel, rove, as he said, " till the puspra- Jiox ran down the hollow of his back like water down a brook:" and if lie did not turn the wheel fast enonele , is loving spouse never failed to mangle his ears, poor man; lint Jo en Turner bore it all like a hero, and a cine times. though very rarely, he resented it like a hero; and these el sentings bare twice brought him in custody before the Magistrate, though he has only been married a abed 16 mouths. On the present *cession, Mrs. Turner—A very decent sort of body, need 46, deposed thus:—" Your Worship, 1 wants noticing but peace ; hot my husband, John Tur ner, is a eery had man , and can't, get it no how. No Jolt of work pleases him so well as wattling me, your We ship; and I've born it and bore it with the most ex emplary pail-ace, -as Mr. Nukes says, for this twelve ru atli last, come the fift of May : till last night, and lb a 1 certainly did turn again— ' 'You did !--and pray which got the best of it ? asked the Magistrate. Mrs. Tallier replied that sne Isle not know exactly; but it was a fail, she said, that she was black, and blue, -ant all manner of colones, with the repeated beatings Jahn Turner had given her. John Turnlr stook his head and sighed; and his spouse called Mr. Obadiah Nukes as a witness in her behalf. Mr. Obadiah Noises cam • forward. lie was a tall old tresn in soectacies ; and he said John Turner wen the ugliest little else tello-v that ever ratite into a body's home. for he wits Always jawing and bea'ing his wife ; and there was nu peace tor " And has the ;com as no faults r ak.ed the Magis. trate. •• Why, fur O r matter of tliut e " qitoth Mr. Oba.lialt Nokes, tl.e *maws is • coati woman eu ugh—or limes g o ." An 4 he thou began to speak agai mit John :fumes . again; but .his stopped by a .king w ho, b e d the best of it in the a.iault sminedia•ely its question — last night's battle. Mr. Obadiah Nokes replied, Dear me I your Wor ship. its a tuortal isnunsobillty for me to soy—tiler were *p, at.d Scuffling down, and at last Mrs. Twiner was topmost.'" Jobe Tarim was new called upon to speak for him• solf. and he began by showing the hack of his baud and livid from some recent violence ; bis cars and peck curiously interlaced oath scratches ; athl su u dry bumps on the birch Obis bead. He assured his Wor ship, that his wife beat him three times every day, and very often in bed at night, in such a dreadful manner. that•all the neighbours admired at her. Their battle of last night, he saidovas caused by his endeavouring to save his daughter from her fury; but eyed then, he merely pushed her away, and she directly put her hands to her ears and " ;screamed ten thousand murders." Then Mr : Obadiah Noires, who is as bad as herself, came down stairs, and taking off his spectacles, seised him by the throat, and held him whilst his wife almost beat 'situ to a mummy. Miss Turner corroborated her father's statement. She merely called at the house to ask him how he was, when her angry mother-in-law flow at her and " tore her bonnet like an eagle." Her father attempted to save her from further violence, and then Mr. Nokes and her mother-in law beat him most unmercifully—so much so that she could not beer to see it, and therefore went away, leaving them in the midst of their work. Mrs. Turner anti her friend Obadiah were very desir ous of rebutting this statement by farther eviden ce ; but the Magistrate put an end to the matter by ordering John Turner to find bail to keep the peace towards Mrs. 'turner; and Mrs. Turner to find bail for the assault upon Miss Turner; and they having no bail ready, lie further ordered that they should both be locked up iii the same cell until they had. John 17catlicratone, a yonngman of very respectab l e connections, was committed on a charge of robbing his furnished lodgings. He admitted the charge to be too true; and said he was drawn into the commission of the oflence by an abandoned woman with whom he had been foolish enough to form a connection. Richard Taylor, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Ward and Hood, distillers, in Queen-street, Oxford street, was charged with furiously driving a horse and cart along the Strand; thereby breaking several shop windows, and endangering the lives of his Majesty's subjects. The charge was made by Mitchell, one of the street keepers in the Strand, and substantiated by a host of respectable witnesses. Ile was tined in the full penalty of 20s. under the High way Act, and adjudged to pay for the windows Ire had broken. MARLCOROCCII•STnEET.—D. Fatty, M. O'Callaghan, and Cain. were charged with rioting. Souse Irish men were di irking togc.ltrr on Monday evening, in the N e w-road, when a tight ensiled between two of them, which in due time extended to the whole group, and ul timately to the pa by indiscriminately. One of the Irishmen, named Mqß'rath, was nearly killed. The pri soners were ordered to find bail. A Gentlemaa residing in Charlotte-rtreet, Fitzroy-square, was charged with having destroyed a bill of exchanee, tinder the following circumstances : A clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. stated that the bill to question was the acceptance of the de fendant, which was paid into their house, and becoming due that day he went to demand payment of It. He sent the bill up stairs by the servant, and presently the defendant came down and walked out of the house without saying a word about the bill. The clerk asked him either to return it or pay him the amount. Tire defendant took the bill from his pocket and tore it in pieces. T.ie complainant having co:lected the fragments from the ground, the defendant snatched them from his hand, and Instantly swallowed the whole. The bill having thus dissppeare I. he thought he was hound to sive the defendant into custody. The Gentleman being called upon to say what he had to urge in defence. said, he certainly had destroyed the bill in the manr described lie assured tIM Magistrae h did no t do n so e with any criminal Intent. The truth was , he e had h a d the misfortune to accept bills for a friend to the amount canOtli., for which he had never received one farthing value. This was one of those bills, and such was the state of irri tation ioto which he was thrown by the appearance of It for payment, that lie did that which he was very sorry for. The object of the amount of the bill to him was nothing ; he was in possessiou of property to the value of 2.t1001. n-year, al though he was at present rather embarrassed, in conse quence of the irregular payment of his rents. While making this statement, the Gentleman appeared in a state of great mental agitation. tablSomand e Gentlemen who attended, said he was very respec e, man of undoubted property. Mr. Dyer said that the best way for him would be, to pay the amount of the bill ; unless he did so, he must be ordered to find bail fur the assault in forcibly taking the bill from the owner. The complainant said, all he wanted was, to have the amount of the bill ; which the Gentleman agreed to pay, and the affair ended. Thomas Dixon, a watchman belonging to St. George's parish, attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Croker, of the Admiralty, a relation of Mr. Croker, the Secre tary. This gentleman stated, that on Thursday night last, as be was returninghotne with some friends through Conduit-street, they met this watchman, and Mr. Croker very civilly asked him what the hour of the night was? to which lie replied, that lie ought to know that himself. Mr. Croker remonstrated upon the impropriety of his making such an answer, and said he was not doing his duty; upon which the watchman seized him by the col lar in a most violent manner, tore his coat, waistcoat and shirt, and dragged him to the watch-house, refusing even I to let bins call at the house of a friend on his way, in' order to procure bail. Mr. Croker added, that the aim. sive language the man used towards him and his friends the whole way to the watch-house surpassed any thing he ever heard. Ile called them a set of scamps, black• guards, and every scurrilous epithet.he could thinkof.— When they got to the watch-house, so satisfied was the constable of the watchman's improper conduct, that he refused to take the charge against Mr. Croker. Two Gentlemen who were in company with Mr. Crot her at the lime, corroborated his statement, and said they never saw any thing so bad as the watchman's conduct. The defence set up by Dixon was so little satisfactory to the Magistrate, that be said he felt it his duty for such gross misbehaviour to suspend him for one month, and that any reusissierief ti part of that -time 'would depend upon the good character that might be given him by some respectable persons. Yesterday, M. a constable employed by the inhabitants of the New-road and Regent's Park, was brought rip on e summons, charged by T. Whalen, a Alary-la-honne constable, :vith gross neglect of duty, by cowardly running away, although armed with a blunder buss and cutlass, during a serious riot and disturbance en Monday night last, an account of which was given in our paper of yesterday. Whalen being sworn, stated, that on Mclnday evening during t! e riot he was called to the spot, and in the heat of the battle, while the sticks of the rioters were flourish ing in (platters, he thought it must prudent not to in terfere until he procured some further assistance. Ile accordingly went to the prisoner,/who he knew to be well armed, and requested bis ass stance. The prisoner with a cool sieliberatiun took Lis blunderbuss, and laid it :sews his eras, and accompanied witness to the spo: ; on !Melt he (witness) malted into the midst of the rio wthen ers, and a orehended leo of them, whom he collared, he expected the prisoner to have assisted him; but. not a little to his alarm and astonishment. on losking : round, he saw him running across the fields with the deadly waapon over his his shoulder. and leaving the scene of action with far more speed than he cause to it. The prisoner. in his defencq, said, that he did not ran away through fear. but on witnessing such as alarm ing riot He returned to his watch-box in the fields to pro. core his rattle, which he had forgotten. He denied Whalen*s statement of his having a cutlass, but con t.:wrest having a blunderbuss. 'lke rJagistrate thought him a cowardly Whie, and was surprised that the Vounnissioners of 11 nods and Fo rests should hare such'! protecter. He was very nr.fit fur his situation. tog. He confessed being; acquainted with Connor, but knew nothing of the quit rel. The Magistrate reprimanded him, and discharged him from the office. Illaar-ta-nonsts Oynca.--Darby Macauley, ism bronglit to this office, on ac carge of migrating an in tere ding looking young girl to whom be bad connmit ted a breach of promise of marriage. It appeared that Maucanley some time ago had formed an acquaintance with the eirl. He professed excess I , er a'- ive love, in return for which Miss was (vial in . ferliens, and granted him every tiling. Her mother looked on him as one of the family. He occasi malty made prosecutrix pre enta, the first he made to her was a gold ring, which put her very much in mind of the wed ding, and caused her to feel no doubt of its taking place; her mother prepared every thing, and was quite rejoiced at the anticipation:of her daughter being so well provided for. but tll. on his lost visit pet a question which blasted all the pleasing hopes of the parent, and turned the joy of the expectine bride into disappointed grief. 0.) pay ing this last visit he had the impertinence to ask, "To how touch he was going to marry ?"—or, in utter words, " That she (the moth meant to give?" The wo rd " Nothing" confound ed the swain, who bale adieu to Mrs. and her child. His visits were less then usual; whenever he came, the tines, ear-rings, and trinkets, seemed to be his only oloject, a• d the by mimes' altar as as never thought of by Mr. M. unless reminded of it, and then a deaf ear was paid. At length they considered him an intruder, and the mother and dangliter forbade hint the house, and attempting to eject him by force, he as saulted both of them. The defendant was ordered to find bail. John Williams, otherwise Frederick John William Norton, was brought before JOUN RAW LINSON, Iraq. and underwent a final exasuitiat:on on a charge of burglary. Mrs. Mary Johnston, stated, that sloe resided at No. 4, Spring-st reet, Marv-li -bonne. On Wednesday evening the 2Gth of March, she was in the kitchen, when bear ing footsteps of some persans in the passage, she ran op stairs aril heard the street door suddenly closed; on loolcin g into the fr nt parlour, which was standing open, she miser.' a valuable table cluck ; witness, on examin ing two other parlours, discovered they had bred entered, and several valuable articles stolen. Pere: ng, wa t c hman, apprehended the prisoner in Pad dington-street, in a harlotry-coach, which had broke down, and in which was the clock. In his pockets were found a tea-pot, and a cream jog, also a swill trunk, containing three gold seals, chain. ring„ necklaces, &c. which were identified by the prosecutrix as her pro perty. Tile prisoner, who said he slionli reserve what lie had to say until a future Jay, was fully committed to New gate for trial. UNION-HALL.--SEICIDE PREVENTEII.—A decent looking female, about the middle age, was yesterday brought before D. King, Esq. by Gill, the officer, from the watch-house, where she had been taken the preceding night, having made an attempt to destroy herself. Gill stated, that 'shoat two o'c'ock that morning he was passing through the Mall, in Guildford-street, Southwark, when his attention was excited by the cries of a female in distress. lie hstened and found that they issued from the common sewer, a filthy ditch running through the grove. lie spoke to the watchmen, and they examined the sewer with their lanterns,when they .'iscovered the female present in the filth, and nearly lifeless. After much difficulty they succeed ed in getting her out. nearly smothered in mud. The account she gave of herself, and the reason she assigned for commit ting the rash act, was, that her husband had believed very' cruelly to her, anti had turned her out of doors, and tout she had latterly experienced such treatment from him, that she was tired of her life. The officer said she would inevitably have been lost had not he gone to her assistance. The Magistrate ad bised the poor creature to return to her husband, and if he refused to tag her in, or support her, then to apply to the parish, who would procure her redress ; but upon no account whatever to offend the Almighty by cow. muting self-destruction. The poor creature said she should net according to the Magistrate's suggestion, and left the office. James Freeman, residing in Benne:street, Blackfriars, was brought up on a warrant, charged with cruelly ill treati Ise his own daughter, about ten years of age. The little girl stated a series of ill treatment received by her trout her unnatural parent. A few night ago her father, she said, came house at a very late hour , and for a trivial offence struck her in the eye, and blackened it (her face exhibited the marks of theblow.) He then knocked her down on the floor, kept her in that position, and pre vented her crying out by stu ffi ng his handkerchief in her month. 'f he child stated main- other acts of barbarity tonards her, and ultimately declared that she went in danger of her life. A number of the neighbour', residing in the street, proved that the child's screams wore to be beard at all hours of the night proceeding from the house. The father, in expisnation of his conduct, stated that the child was of a most perverse temper, and he was obliged to have recourse to chastisement, in order to bring her to a sense of obedience to her mother and himself. The Magistrates severely reprehended his conduct to wards his clsil l ; and gave directions that she should be taken care of in the Parish IVorkhouse, until a situation could be procured for her. In the meantime the father is to allow the parish ss. a week for her support.

Llt The prisoner fell on his knees, and begged for mercy. admitted getting over the fence, and stealing the pigeons; that he had put them in his bag, and had thrown them over the wall, and just as he was getting over, the dog seized him first by the leg, and then by the breech, and there held him, till he was secured. Upon the intercession of Mr. Pusey, and it being the first offence known to have been cm committed by the prisoner, he was discharged, with an admoonition. On Saturday, Henry Shaugnessv, the Quack Doctor, was flogged through the town of Arid, pursuant to sen tence at the last Assizes of Limerick, fur assaulting a very young femde.
