We week a piece betora we returned it to the cupboard, end sent it to a chemist in Crawford-street, for we suspected something wrong. After breakfast yesterday morning I went up stair, into the parlour, end remasned three quarters of an hour ; my husband came up eitterwsele, and I went down ; so did not speak to each other.

Mai, Aisne than examined the cupeoard, and the paper parcel was gene; Mary Anne lighted a candle. but we could not find it any where. I then said, we must be careful what we tahe. I examined the port wine and bark ;it was different. I took a little, and it made my throat smart. Mr. Itawetwitow—" la it not odd you rhoald swallow some when you suspected something to be in It? ; fee. Cox--" I took but little in my mouth."

FRAUDULENT l'Al . PER. Julia Farren, a renpectablyilreseed widow, was brought up for defrauding the parish of St. Giles of various sums of money, under the false representation of having tour or five children, when in fact she had but two. The Churchwarden said the prisoner had been relieved by the parish tiiitee the 15th of March with five ',billings per week. iihe represented herself to have lour children residing with her, and a fifth in the Catholic echoed at Somers-town. IVerinenday fortnight she applied to have a sum advanced to her, to enable her to pay her tent, saying she should be turned nut of her shop in King-sheet, Drury-lane, unless the mosey was advan , ed. She was desired to bring her four children, as it is customary with parish officers to set occasionally the number in family they are relieving. She brought four children on Wednesday week. which she said were her own; but two of their beadles had made inquiry in the interim, and veer tuined that only two were hers, and that the other two were Or Aid then of a lodger. He did not wish to press the case with tolverity against tie prisoner; if an intermediate punishment could lie in flicted, he Lail rather. His motive was dictated on public grounds, **expose inch a fraud, and to deter others from the imposition. Mr. "Ron sold be had but two courses to pursue, eithee to dis charge her at once, if he abandoned the charge, or remand her for another hearing. The gentleman said he did not *dab hee discharged withotat some punishment. Mr. Ror remanded her to Thursday. ItonnEnv AT 11UVBERTS HOTEL. Joreph Clarke, formerly a waiter at Bunsbert's Hotel in Oxford. street, was brought up on suspicion of stealing two plated tea-pots. George, the porter, said the prisoner came between seven and eight o'clock, on Wednesday morning; said be was 'going tee bathe, and called to pay Charles, a waiter, two shillings that be owed ; that he induced witness to go out with him to have something to drink, without fastening the door. WitrlVe at first refused, but afterwards complied. 11'hen they returned from the wine -vaults, prisoner went into the waiter's bed-room, and wither" went about awes ping the hall. Atter this the prisoner came to him again to go out and drink ; and on his saying he would not have any more so early, the prisoner threw his broom into the street, to get him out of the house:Thee did go a second time to the public house, anti the prisoner went down stairs to the kitchen. He had then an apron en. and said he was at Statle"i Coffee.hoone. A waiter deemed to the tea-pots being safe at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, and that they were gone at eight o'clock on Wed nesday morning. Many other thing., were missing—four pair of ' phrteenut-crackets, a table-donors, and a tea-spoon. The prisoner had been there many times lately, which gave rise to his suspicion. Ballard, the officer, inquired of Mrs. Moore, of Searle's Coffin. house, for the ;Mennen and there learnt that he had been die. charged for irregularities ; and as be did not know hid person, frit fear he should lie denied at his lotinines, Lit word that two clla:. Humbert's waiters had gone away, and Mr. 11. wanted him rti. reedy. This hit told ; for on his going to the prisoner's lodgings. at Lambeth, his landlady denied his living there, and the prisoner's wife denied that site was his wife. However, witness searched the place, but did not find the tea-pros. On his return to Mr. Hum bert's tl.e prisoner bad arrived before him, and was detained. The prisoner merely said he went to pay Charles two shillings, and knew nothing of the tea-pots. He was remanded. VARIEGATED SPARROWS. John Wright, it tall fellow, dressed like i shoemaker, was brought from the watch-house, f or imposing minted sparrows and Witten; on the curious in fancy singing-biri.s, as fresh-imported caarpoun, from the Ward of Java. The mit otter had half* dorm of them in bags, all painted, one of which to :k the liberty of flying out of the window while the tight.conetaide was spreading out its wing to the Magistrate. The prisoner, who, lives in Short's Build :nits, is well known, and has been in cur tody before for the same offence. Mr. Cooke, a tobacconist in Illuneum-r/ reet. Bloomsbury, stated that he bought a couple of binds of the pit Winer last Friday evenin, which he described by a foreign word as Java nightingales; lie said they sang beautifully, and as he was distressed he would rell them cheap ; he asked 2s. each; witner s gave him Is. 6,1. Witness does not know that he should have boa& a bird of him. but for the nersoanian of his wire, who was attracted by the beauty of their plumage. Some were painted red on the lie,d ; and the wings, breasts, and tails of others, were red and bright orange. After the prisoner went away, witness reflected on the bargain he had made, and suspected he had been cheated. He wetted • bit of cotton and washed the birds, end then discovered that the water changed the reel and bright orange inn, a t'u.ky brnwa, and that his J era rale pou was no other than an Islington sparrow. On Wednesday night the prisoner came again, but witness, instead of making another purchase t sent him to the watch-house. The pnrconer said there were difftrent times In the year when he could not procure goldfinches and canaries; he admitted painting the birds ; if lie did not, he should not get Ina. in a week ; people would not btu them unless they were variegated. The first two he sold the gentlemen were hens ; he went on lVedneulay to give him a couple Man:kn. If the Magistrate would let him off Cis time, he would not offend any more. Mr. ROE fold him it was a trannoortable offence, obtaining money under also pea: ; and he 'Wald send him to a jury. The prisontyr was committed. • FRAUD ON LORD GaINOALL, ik.c. The witne hes who appeared against !tall r, Inc the fraud on the Earl of ( ;lc wall and Vrecannt Chiftien, attended yesterday.

Viscount Clifden's racket was cut opt a in the presence of the footman ; that was also brown paper. For wsnt of the evidence of the clerks at the Saracen's Head and White liorNe Cellar, the prisoner was remanded till Thursday. CARELESS DRIVING. The driver of one of Clyne's vans was held to hail, for rnnning over a little boy, mimed Brooks, In Spurr-street, by which one thigh was broken, and the other fractured. The child is in a fair way of recovory in the Ilus.oital. SIIA3I BAIL • William Taylor, who presented a check for 371. at Itammers ley's banking.house. which hail been stolen with a small box out of the carriag: of Lord Churchill, at Oxford Rand, was yesterday discharged, for want of a prosecutor. with an admonition from Mr. Roe to be ettutious of his future conduct, he having live reeogni. Lances in his pocket-book as bail for different parties. Clements ',Aid the prisoner's wife told Into he had connected himself with a set of bad character., and that he bailed than fur a shilling in the pound to the amount required. ASSAULTING WATCHMEN. Thomas Payne, a journeymen shoeniater, at 78. Remick -street, Oxford-street, was chased with mutt:l ig! the watch rah in the dis_ charge of his duty. He said he had not struck the watchman, but lied merely laid his hand on Inn collar. Mr. Ilor.—That is quite enough, and more than enough. The Act says, " whoever shall inter cot, or encourage and promote the same, shall be liable to a titre of 5/." In answer to a question from the Magistrate, the prisoner stated that his average wages, when lie worked hard, were only 17s. of a week, and that be had a family to maintain. The fine was mid pied to 10s. MaamoogE.—Thanks Norgan was brought forward on a chart!e of thef t. Edward Hawkins stated Mat he went to his master's stables yes terday morning. The door was shut. 11'llen he melted it lie ob served through an opening a person peep at him front the hay-loft ; be then opened the door, and found at the back of it a pair of the el int his master - a, anti an umbrella, which be: left on Wednesday night is thee:melt-Ix:use. Ile then went to the ladder leading to the hay loft, and, as he was ascending, he beard some one jump out of the stable. He immediately came down, and saw the back of the per son, who disappeared. He returned again, and went up in the hay loft, where he f und three places, but he did not know to whom they belonged. lie then went towards two trusses of hay lying in the hay-loft, and rdrutd tide the. largest, under which lie found the irtsoner conceratl. Hes-keel the prisoner what was his bard- Hess these. Pawner answered that he was going to sleep. Witness then asked him who it was that jumped out; he said he did not know. A carpenter came forward and claimed the planes. CH ARG E OF A SAA Matthew Tierney, an Irishman, was charged with beating a wo man, who stated that she came to complain of her husband, hut. in deed, she was not sure whether the could call him so, as he had another wife; however ' he struck her twice last night wi t h a c h a i r , and threatened to kill her daughter. A neighbour stated that he saw the Frisoner strike the complain aid with only one fist, and no more. Pat denied the whole charge, and addressed the Magistrate in a long speech, delivered with such rapidity, in the tune peculiar to Ids countrymen, that we could mJyy gather ' from a few words which we understood, that lie had comp l aints in his turn against his wile. Haar ITR, in consequence of the contradiction in the evi dence, discharged the prisoner, to the no atuall disappointment of his wife. Frijol; Barrow, a boll-looking athletic young fellow, was :te amed by Jahn Young of theft. complainant stated that the prisoner, without any provoca tion, struck him a violent blow on the back of the ear last night. The complainant, determined'not to brook the injury, invited the prisoner to a held, where they might have • regular turn out. They accordingly went, and, alter the battle was over, the prisoner laid bald the ' and silk handkerchief, and ASSIZE COURT OF TILE lIIGII GARONNE, Amg•39. A deserter, well known to the gendarmerie, was suspected to have taken refuge with his parents at the village of Chaum ; and on the night of the 211 and 3d December, 1825, the Brigadier of St. Beat proceeded thither. Scaling the wall of an enclosure, the Brigadier entered the yard and opened the door. The gendarmes and the Mayor came to his assistance. The man of the house was then called, and a candle being lighted, search was made for the de- serter. In the mean (line a cry was heard of r• There he is ; that is him in the yard !•• The Brigadier then saw one of the gendarmes struggling with the deserter, who nought to make his escape.— Upon the same spot all the family and the armed three met tope , thee, while resistance, darkness, and contusion ensued. Blues were exchanged, and many of the gendarmes wounded. The Brigadier was rendered insensible; nevertheless the deserter was wince. The loss of blood made him unfit for service for a month. It was upon them facts that the whole family was accused of hay• ing assembled in arms in a greater number than three persons, for the purpose of resisting with violence the gendarmes, who were executing the orders of the public authority. At this time the de serter alone, being the only one of his family who was under arrert, was tried upon contradictory evidence, and being acquitted e Court, he was, for a military offence, brought before a t martial, and there also acquitted; but his family were, for c - macy, sentennil to six years' imprisonment. Such was, hitherto, the state of the affair. 'flits day the mothe- of the deserter was brought before. the Court. If her countmance betrayed ma.ks of misfortune, it also exhibited those strong traits of vigorous charac ter so peculiar to the inhabitants of the mountains. M. Charelet, the Solicitor-General, conducted the prosecution. which was sup potted by the evidence of three gendarmes. According to one of them, ft was this woman who wounded the Brigother. He had seen the tick she made use of; according to others, she was armed with a stout bar. M. ADOLPIIIrS Ma - arrnt, for the defence, contended that the house of a citizen was en inviolable asylum, and that the gendarmes were net justified by the laws of the country in making such an artsek in the dead hour of the night. The Jury unanimously found her Not Guilty, and site was im inediately discharged. POLICE. BARTIIOLOM ENV FAIR. M wetow-lioust:.—Vesterday Mr. Wright, the ironmonger, In Smithfield, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and expressed his hopes, that al.hough it was resolved to continue the fair, the former re striceionr not be discontinued. Above all, he hoped fiat care would be taken that every public-house would be shut up, and every fiddle in the neighbourhood silenced, before twelve o'clock. That, Indeed. was our hour too late, and they should cot be sllowi.ll to let any one in'after eleven o'clock, The LOAD MAYOR AMIUTeII 11r. Wright that none of the for mer restrictions should be relaxed, and that t7-.e time should as much as possible be abridged. His Lordship expressed himself fully sensible of the evil that was sustained by housekeepers, and the heads of families, from the fair. He was determined to do all in his power far their prevention. His Lordship then gave direc tions to 11r. Brown, the Marshal, upon the subject. Mr. Wright said, he should arc impany the Marshal and officers, to a!il in putting an end to die acme at twelve o'clock. lie was de aims not merely that the Mk of liquor should be prevented after that time, but that the dancing should be stopped. Mr. Brown said. that the officers would go in, and carry away all the fiddles they beard after twelve o'clock. The Loan MAYOR said he hoped they would this year he spared the mockery of a printed proclamation against shows and in terludes, at the very time that the corporation received heavy tolls from the proprietors of the booths erected for the performance. 3/r. Brown said, he believed die proclamation would not be issued this year.. ANGEL-AbLEV. Four men were brought up, one charged with having aided in the demolition of a house in Angel-alley, and secreted some of the materials; the other three with having endeavoured to rescue him from custody. Angel alley, in Bistiopsgate, Is well known to the inhabitants as a neat of thieves and characters of the worst description. This place, and flalf-moon-allcy, Still-alley, in Houndaditch, Petticoat ? Lane, and Ifoscinsty.lanr, are the chief places in the City for the refuge and supply of thieves, receivers. rogues, and prostitutes, of every description. Angel-alley„ which is, perhaps, in Pro portion to its else, the must prolific of vice and mischief, has been' appropriately called " the %Potreo." A proportion of the inha bitants basing fancied that die houses they inhabited were ilex Chancery. declared their intention to keep the rent in their o*n pockets pending the suit. which they calculated would last out their own lives, and perhaps those of their children t nor could they be undeceived on this head, excepting by the exerc;se of a strong force. Some of them having been ejected from a house, a number of the others conceived the carcase, which was unoccupied, to be fair prey, and set to work to raze it to the ground, but were inter. cepted, after they had got away a considerable portion of the ma terials; one oldie prisoners was amongst them. Ilia mother, who had got one of the rafters of the house, said she had endea voured to convince him that he was wrong, and ordered him to restore the rafter, though it was a difficult matter to persuade him that he was not entitled to it. It was announced to the Lord Mayor by the landlord's solicitor that this place would. at no great length of time, be cleared. It was Intended to build a rem church there. and the ground et Angel-alley would he required as part of the site. Mr. HOaLER observwl, it was disgraceful to the metropolis that such a place should have been so long suffered to exist there. No idea could be formed of its nature, except by visit. lle had gone over it once, in company with an officer, and though he did not go into the worst parts of it, and was under good pro.. tection, lie felt glad when he got out of it. The Lunn 'MAYOR expressed his pleasure at the prospect of the place being rooted out of the City. Ile only liberated the poi. sorters on their relations coming forward to be security for their future goal behaviour. JUVENILE THEFT. James Baker, an errand-boy, was charged by Mr. Moses Cash more, merchant, of Desk Hacks, with having stolen much pro- Pert • Arr. Cashraore mated that the prisoner was his errand-boy. He had repeatedly misatd things from the Moine. At length he sus. pected the prisoner. and on Wednesday evening he caused him to be apprehended, but, not wishing to send him to prison until his guilt was made manifest, he offered him a bed, on his assurance that he would not attempt to escape. Ile said to the prisoner, " Now, if you attempt to escape, I shall consider it as a proof os your guilt." He gave noti ce to the night constable to be on the look out for aniy attempt of the kind. After midnight notice was given that the pr . wrier had gone out. The officer and the prosecutor went .0 a street in the Commercial road. While they were looking with lantern far the number of the house they saw a door open ; they ran to it and Mond the prisoner, whom they took into custody. They' found upon him some spoons and a quantity of stolen property, which he acknowledged he was about to secrete or destroy ; he would then have returned to his muster's. Air. Cadtmore lamented the ntcessity of prosecuting the pri. saner. He was a niec boy, acute, and well informed, and had been twice vatdoned. iu the hope that he would reform. The hewn MAYon remanded the prisoner, that the other pro- perty missed might be sought saki..

Mr. Trott, who, among his other recommendations to the notice of the fair, turns out to be a married man, was accordingly discharged on paying his fees. DOG STEALING. John King/font and William Sharp were brought before the Sitting Magistrate, T. Ilacts, Dag. in the custody of Parish, one of the patrol belonging to the establishment. the former charged with stealing a spaniel of King Charles's breed, the prueerty of Mr. Coltins, a tailor, residing in Charles-street, Covent garden ; and the latter with obstructing the officer in the Execution of kis duty, by endeavouring to rescue his companion. The prisoners being placed within the bar, Mr. Collins stated, that last night. about half-past 0 o'clock, while engaged in shutting up his shop, he perceived Kingham snatch up the little spaniel which lie now held in his arms, and which he declared to have been his property for more than two years: be immediately threw down the shutter which lie had in his hand, and pursued the prisoner, who wax joined by Sharp. Seeing Mr. Collins closely pursuing, they ran off as fast as possible. Kingham taking the precaution of ridding himself of the corpus dAieti, in anticipation of his being captured. After a very long chace, and many cries of " Stop thief !" the pri soners were secured by Parish and a Mr. Farthing, • clock-maker. of ItethnaLgreen, who detained them with much difficulty, till Mr. Collins came up with them, when a desperate resistance was offered by bath of them. Parish stated, that on searching the person of Sharp, who struck him teveral Revere blows oa the wrists, to make hint quit hia hold of Kingliam, he found no less a number than thirty-six letters' from various parts of the country, all relating to sporting dogs. and also a cord will, a ortofie in it, ready to throw over the head of any dog he should think it worth his while to ensnare. The prisoners being Mina on for their defence, both declared their innocence of any intention to steal the dog, though Kingham admitted " that he had certainly picked it up to avoid running over it. In fact, he said "he would rot have it at a gift." His Worship having referred to the Act, ordered Kingham to ray a fine Of 201. to the King, the sum awarded for a first offence in this kind of depredation, which Ilan now become so common, and in default of payment committed him for six months to the !louse of Correction. His companion was ordered to find bail for the assault, himself In 40/. and two sureties in 201. each, which rot being at hand, he was locked up till they should be forthcoming. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. IfATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterdsy Combat. Fitzallen, who has been so frequently examined on a charge of robbing her late MSc ter of a 50/. Bank of England note, was brought pp * F ain, a fresh charge having been preferred against her by Mr. i segurton, of Bri:klane, in whose family the prisoner had lived as servant prior to her engagement with Mr. Brooks, of Leigh-street, the present complainant. Mr. Ferguson stated that during the time the prisoner was in his house the key of a bureau was missed, wherein various articles of jewe:lery and cash were occasionally deposited ; and front the ex pensive manner in which prisoner armed, he was not quite satis fied at letting her continue in the house. Presenting that a servant with very mod:rate wages could not appear in silk and satin, urless the means were obtained either by illicit commerce or dishonest pnleticea, he discharged her, and in a day or two after a valuable 'coral necklace was missed, but no trace could he had of the prisoner until he accidentally saw her name in one of the Morning New;- papers, under the head of Ilatton-garden Police, and on subsequent inquiry she turned out to be the same person. ' Kirby. the officer, produced a coral necklace, which he found in the prisoner's trunk at the time of her apprehension, and Mr. Fer guson immediately identified it as the one stolen from Ilia house, as already described. Mr. ROGERS directed the Chief Clerk to take the evidence in this case, and hind °meddle parties to prosecute, in the event of the other charge failiog. b Rh. Brooks totid Nit he had made frequent inquiries at the Bank, but the NI, note had not yet been prepented ' • he had, how. ever, ascertained both the date and number. lle had also disco venal that the prisoner's landlady, Mrs. Stanley, the wife of a tailor, who was one of the tavern party, had changed three 51. notes at the shop of Mr. Bradley. a pawnbroker, since the rubbery. The pr Owner (who aelpred completely thrown off her guard) ex claimed with great vehemence. " No, no it was lung before." Mt. Humphreys, whit atswasiesi as. her Solicitor, begged she would be silent. Mr. Bradley, however, proved that he had received from Mrs. Stanley three notes of 5/. each, in the release of some pledges, and in payment for some silver spoons.which Mts. Stanley had bought; they were all subsequent to the time at which Mr. Brooks spoke to the robbery having been committed. ' Mrs. Stanley gave a very vague and unsatisfactory account of the manner in which she became possessed of the money, and was or dered to enter into recognizance* to appear whenever called upon to give evidence. 1 The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. BARING ROBBERY. Information was received at this Office of a robbery hating been committed on Sunday night, at the National School, under the Cha. pel, in Liverpool -street, Battleridge. The thieves forced the iron railing from the window, though quite contiguous to the watch. man's box. and getting into the school-room unperceived, they car ried off with them a large quantity of Bibles and Testaments (rather extraordinary booty for burglars), together with a library of mis. cellancous works, adapted to youth, in all about one hundred so. Mines, making a complete clearance of every moveable. The Om. canoes have offered a reward for the apprehension of the parties concerned. All the Bibles and Testaments are stamped on the co vers, " British and Foreign Bible Society." STEALING. A well-known fortune-teller,nanted..4rts Nelson, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing two silk handkerchiefs. Ann Ilattye. a decem-looking young woman. stated, that she was talking with a female acquaintance on Wednesday , morning, when the prisoner addressed them. announcing herself as a person . whir rudest the destiny of all the young lasses at the west end, but that kw a Platen prepossession in favour of witness, she would open tyre Wok of fate to her for a piece of silver. \Witness, how ever,- declined the kind offer, and, to avoid her importunities, walkod on with her friend, and supposed they had got tid of the prisoner. Their went into a house in Fleet-market, and had a pint of porter. but bad scarcely been there a minute. when the prisoner ' again entered and renewed her solicitations * which were still denied. In order to pay fur the porter, witness put her hand into her Pocket, that taking out a couple of silk handkerchiefs, which were laid on the counter, and having tendered a shilling and received the change, the handkerchiefs and prisoner were both missing ; witni ss, how ever, met her yesterday morning, in flatton.gardcn, and gave her into custody. ROGT.II4 said that he hail no doubt how the ease stood ; but as it happened in the city, he should transfer the charge to Guild. hall, and ordered her to be taken there forthwi.h. Robert White was brought up before the Sitting Magistrate, on a charge of being concerned in a burglary in the house of Mr. Parkinson, watchmaker, Doswell-street-road. A week since he had Men brought up on a charge of robbery in Ratcliffe-terrae?, having been stopped by a watchman, with • hut die, under very auspicious circumstances. On beinic searched by Underwood, a constable, a quantity of wa'climakers tools were found in his possession, which were ultimately traced to be the property of Mr. Parkinson, who has been robbed at different times of property to a considerable amount, of wbich at present no traces hare been found. The prisoner being fully committed on the lint charge, Mr. Park. inwn was told that he might prefer a bill against him at the Sea. shoos on Friday next. CONDUCT OF. A NIGHT CONSTABLE.

UNION' HALL.—Yesterday a Mrs- Allen, dressed out in ill d e gaudy coloure.l the rainbow, war brought belare the Sitting Ma. gistrate, M. SwAar.v, Eaq. charged with hovirg mmraittea on assault on the person of Mr. fil`laennali, a tea-dealer residing in Lambeth. The complainant, whore scratched face exhibited a ampl e o f what the lair sex can do when exasperated, c o mmenced the *cg s by stating that the female whom he now accused o f l u ti n g as. united him, was formerly a customer of hie. She, however , ma off dealing with him latterly, leaving a small Wane dae'•. few this balance he called on the uterine% day, art h av i ng been al. ruined into the house he proceeded to the par'cour, where Mn, Allen was sitting at the tune, and very civilly a,kea h et to clear off the balance of her account. Be, however, had scarce l y made the demand, when up she started from her chair. g rzs p e l hi m firmly Iby the hair of the head, and fairly draraed him about th e MM. until it gave way by the. rows, a e sota h a i ow a limdful of the hair in her hand. Not content, he said, with depriving him of the covering of his crown, she a l so i n . flitted the market visible on his fare with het finger nail's, and threatened to "punch" out his other eye (the complainant a blind of one eye) if he did not make himself sum, and be of out of her presence. A Ithough a good deal alarmed . at such a terrible attark,Mr. alsKennah exprssia d his determina tion of not quitting the house until ilk hill was paid. " Oh, if that's the cue, the,,'. said Mrs. Allen, " I shall soon have you bundled out, auk sad trop • " and then lustily squalliog out " Murder !" a ti , . Abb ott rushed ir.:o the room, who, without wailing for any eaptanoti„ as i hlef(complainant's) part, proceeded to use both his fists and his feet, and fairly kicked and cuffed him out of the house into the Mae: Re added, that had net some persons, who were retracted to eke .pot by the noise, wasted in rescuing him, he verily believed his other eye would have been stooped out of his head, a Com was the " lady" to get another claw at hia visage. The tea-deakt having finished his account of the affair, The Magistrate expressed some surprise that he should have been so roughly handled for MT* demanding that which he alleged was due to him. Mrs. Allen was then asked what she had to say in answer to the charge. flaying thrown back her veil, which had previously concealed a very pretty fare, -the lair defend. ant began her defence by admitting that part of Mr. 31•Kennahlt account of' the fracas was true, but by far the waster portion of it was invented Gm the purpose of giving her into hot water. She acknowledged that she was indebted to him a trifle, but Instead o f calling at her house, and demanding it in a proper and tradennan- Lite manner, Ito rudely entered her parlour, took a chair without being invited, and commenced abusing her in the most gross man . nor helote her children. She repeateCly requested him to desist, but he perrevered in that hoe of conduct until the was at length under the necessity of railing aloud for aasistenee in expelling a man that was capable of such behaviour. Fortunately for her, the said, Mr. Abbott. who was in the habit of visiting at the house, heaving her screamie, tame to her aid, and certainly turned Sir. M•Ketuiali into the Street. With respect to the charge of dragging off a lundfol of his hair, Mrs. Allen derlared there was no truth in the assertion, for if the Magistrate would be so good as to CM a glance at the complainant's hend, he would readily perceive that there was by no means a sufficient covering of hair upon it u enable a person to drag him about in the manner he deathbed. The hair au certainly very thinly scattered over the complainant's head. Mrs. Allen then said, as tar the expressions that the was ac cused of hating uttered, namely—" I'll punch your other eye out," sod" I'll have you bundled out of the holm. neck and crop" she could amino the Magistrate it was a specie. of slang phrase that she never indulged in. In fact, the complainant's statement, she added, was grossly exaggerated throughout. The MAGISTRATE censured the complainant's conduct for la. truding Wu - lull so unceremoniously into the crimplainant'a parlour, and the, abusing hcf. ‘• There were other means of MOUT ing the money she was indebted to you," observed the Magistrate, " instead of adopting those you have had recourse to." • Mr. SWADEY then remarked that he should not hold the defend. ant to bail for the alleged assault, but Mr. M'Kennah might, dna ehose to try the experiment, indict her at the S ssions. The tea.dealer looked Nightly chagrined at this decision, and shook his held, observing that he should go to work another rosy. in order to punish a person, by whom he had not only been deprived of Us locks, but bad also got a scratted Lice into the bargain.
