The eireunivianees which led to this violence, amid the complaint be WWI about to make, were these.— Tbe Complainant, some time since, lent the Defendant about I,hofil. for immediate necessities, but expected the allimout returned as soon an possible. A short interval, linnsainrOnd bit elapsed, when, to hit surprise, be learned that, without offering him any security far the money so &d -immed, he had became embarrassed. and was colopellesi to submit his affairs to his creditors.

Mr. Mathews most readily admitted to the Lord Mayor that he horsewhipped Mr. Farrell, but thought be was well warranted in so doing, after the vile liberty he bad taker with his character, and in so public a place.

Mrs. Dawson, the wife of a salesman in Covent•garden market, staled, that she had known the Prisoner several years, and had occasionally employed her, until she had married a man of must uoiorinua bad character, in cootie queoce of which she discharged her. In April last, how. ever, she came to her in • state of great poverty nod wretchedness, and the witness was induced, through charity, to take her into her service. On Friday evening the house was left, for some time, in care of the rummer, who aller• wards came to the market to the witness. At ten o'clock they went home together, and footed the street door standing open.

Ibis eiir mica:Thee, coupled with the fact of the Prisoner's linstcool having helm lately liberated from New. gate, where he was some time nob° a charge of • very se rious nature, caused the witness to susiwct that the rubbery had teen committed with her knowledge and connivance, and she therefore gave her its charge. The Priamter, with seals in her eyes, and with much eariostuesy denied that she knew any thing of the robbery or the robbers. Her mis tress, she said, had been as kind as • mother to her, and sis far from having an idea of robbing or injuring her in any way, she would lay down her life to do her a service. Mrs. Dawson admitted that the Prisoner had ll her very faithfully; and she hail often beau.' her expres , the utmost abhorrence at her husband's course of life, and wish be might be transported. Mr. HICK/ lamented the unfortunate situation of the woman, and wisher, she might prove to he Minima, but be must Maio her for another examination at least. The Prisouer was remanded till Wednesday.
