Yesterday the case of John Ball, who was falsely imprisoned in Whitecross-street gaol, came on again before the Loan MAYOR, whose surprise at the con duct adopted in the office of the Clerk of the Peace was not at all abated by the explanation which was given there. His Lordship had requested that Mr. Richardson, the under-sheriff, would make in- quiry into all the circumstances of the demand of the Clerk of the Peace, and of that of the discounter, who received the fee of 2s. from Hall. Mr. Richardson stated to the Lord Mayor, that he had applied to the Clerk of the Peace for the restitution of Hall's guinea, which bad been paid previously to his discharge from the prison, and which there could be no pretence for detaining, in asmuch as the poor man had performed all that was required of him at the Old Bailey, and his recogni zances bad been illegally estreated in the Exchequer. He (Mr. Richardson) represented at the office, that the Lord Mayor expected some recoil:pence would be made to him. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I suppose there was very little hesitation on the subject? Mr. Richard son said there was no hesitation at all, for a plump refusal was given to return a farthing of the money. lie had stated in the office that his Lordship con sidered the case one of great hardship and injustice; but the reply was, that the Clerk of the Peace had made no mistake; and for the purpose of proving that, a copy of some Old Bailey document was exhibited. The LORD MAYOR—Why, the Clerk of the Peace proceeded against the man instead of another person, and how can he say that he made no mistake ? Mr. Richardson said, the Clerk of the Peace declared that the whole mischief arose from an authographi cal error, with respect to the name of the woman whom Hall prosecuted. This woman's name was " Knowles," but it appeared in the indictment as " Nowles ;" and the Clerk of the Peace upon look ing over the list found that no person named " Nowles" had been prosecuted, and therefore, as he was bound to do, he estreated the recognizance. He had nothing to do with the mistake, and was en titled to his fee, which be had received, and cer tainly would not on any account return. The LORD MAYOR—But if the Clerk of the Peace had paid common attention to his business, he would have detected the error. Mr. Richardson said that the refusal to make the man amends was plump and peremptory. But the unfortunate watchman (Woodin), who attended to give evidence in the case, was also arrested and thrown into prison,where he remained nine days, The LORD MAYOR—What for the same crime of punctuality in attending and giving evidence ? Mr. Richardson said the offence was precisely the same. The poor watchman was obliged to apply to the parish officers to take his whole family, consist ing of a wife and six children, into their care, until his liberation, not having one halfpenny to buy bread for them. The LORD MAYOR—AII this misery anal injustice would have been spared, if the Clerk of the Peace had ordered one of his clerks to cast his eye over the proclamation list. I must repeat, th►►t I never heard of a more monstrous case of injustice. Mr. Richardson told his Lordship that Mr. Smith, the vestry clerk of the parish in which the poor watchman claimed, had applied to Mr. Allen, at the office of the Clerk of the Peace, for 355., the expence incurred by the family of the watchman during his imprisonment, but the application was useless. as they pleased, and the public were as much ex posed to the poison of unwholesome food as ever. The LORD MAYOR said that the mirkets were under the controul of the Corporation. If any cases were brought before him, he should most assured) ) convict, if it was proved that unwholesome meat was exhibited for sale, under whatever pretence. He did not like to interfere with the duties of the Corporation; but he should, in a case of this serious nature, affecting as it did the health of the public, write to the Committee of City Lands, to appoint a meeting, at which he should consult them on the most advisable course of proceeding for the correc tion of this filthy evil. The LORD MAYOR-It is impossible to believe that the law would not redress these two injured men. The false imprisonment appears, from the circumstances which have followed it, of a very aggravated nature, and the case must not rest here. The facts are of such a nature, that it becomes ne cessary to apply to the fountain head for a change, in mercy to the public. Mr. Richardson said that he had also, as his Lord ship had directed him, inquired into the cause of the charge of the 2s. discount, which Hall had to pay to a person upon receiving an order for the payment of the expences of prosecuting. He learned that a person named Hoare had received this discount money—a thing not sanctioned at all by the regula tions of the Court, and that the Sheriffs' yeomen were the introducers of prosecutors and witnesses to the discounters, with whom they (the yeomen) shared in the profits. Those yeomen, instead of attending to their business at trials, were usually acting as touters to the discounters, and as on some days as many as 50 trials took place, the poundage became considerable. The LORD MAYOR said he had never heard of any of those secrets before, but lie trusted that a very important reform would take place in his Mayoralty. His exertions certainly should not be wanting. Mr. Richardson said that the Sheriffs were anxious to render his Lordship every assistance of which they were capable. He had every reason to suppose that the yeomen would be in future very cautious in their manner of proceeding. His LORDSHIP then inquired whether the Clerk of the Peace was riot appointed by the Lord-Lieute nant of the county, and being answered in the affir mative, stated that the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whose efforts were so power fully and successfully directed to the correction of other abuses, should be memorialized on this subject by Hall, and a correction would doubtless be with •ill possible celerity applied. The circumstances were such as would be warmly taken up in Par- 'lament. Mr. Dunsby, the foreman of the inquest who in spect Newgate-market, applied to the LORD MAYOR on the subject of the frequent and extensive exhi bition of bad meat in Newgate-market. The fact was, he said, diseased meat was constantly appear ing in the market, but those who sold it labelled it with papers on which were written the words, "Dog's Meat," and thus eluded justice. Mr. Dunsby declared that the clerk of the market and the officers under him had refused to seize the meat. His object in addressing his Lordship now was, to induce him to authorize the city police-officers to seize the bad meat, until inspectors should be ap• p o i n t e d for the market, A$ it was, the butchers did LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1829. bed, he was aroused by a violent blow on the head, which induced him to believe that robbers were in the house. The blow vt as repeated, and starting up, he beheld the defendant, more like a fury than a woman. Fearing that she meant to take away his life, he fled, calling for help. The defendant then seized hold of a pewter pot, which she flung at his head. Mrs. Neale explained that the reason she struck the defendant in bed was, that lie had come home so drunk he was unable to pull his boots off. Mr. Neale was driven from home in consequence of the defendant's jealousy. He could not look at a woman that she did not fly into a furious passion. Mr. MINSIIULL suggested that the parties ought, if possible, to settle the matter, and go home in peace together. Mrs. Neale—No, no, there can be no settling now. He has brought me here, and he shall take t tie consequences. Two witnesses came forward, who gave it as their opinion, that if Mrs. Neale were suffered to go at large, the life of her husband would be en dangered. Mr. MiNsituLL regretted to be under the neces sity of sending a respectable woman to prison, but with such evidence of her violence before him, he had no other course to pursue. Mrs. Neale was then removed, and subsequently conveyed<to Tothill-fields prison for want of bail. M ARYLEBON . . • A lamentable instance of depravity and misfortune occurred at this place yesterday. Hannah Allen, a young woman of respectable appearance, stood charged with breaking open the bureau of her mother, a baker's widow in the Edg ware-road, and stealing thirty half crowns and a quantity of wearing apparel. Her first examination was on Thursday, and Wall, the officer, who appre hended her at her lodgings in Windmill-street, Tot tenham-court-road, produced some of the lost pro perty, which he found there. It appeared by the evidence of the mother, that although she had not broken into the house, she had in two or three instances secreted herself there, and bra en out of it ; and one of the neighbours saw her escape over a back wall. She had given herself up to wrong courses, and every means to reclaim her had been tried in vain. At her first examination the prisoner stood mo tionless and speechless, as if bereft of sense, and she was committed for re-examination on the fol lowing day. In the course of his duty, the gaoler brought her from the New Prison, Clerkenwell; yesterday morn ing, again to the office, and a message from the Go vernor of it, to inform Mr. Griffith, the Magistrate, that her appearance and conduct had occasioned an examination into the state of her health there, and she was found to be afflicted to a great degree with typhus fever. She was fully committed for trial, but instead of being sent to Newgate, she was conveyed in a coach back to the New Prison, that she might have the benefit of the infirmary. Mr. Philip Whitelock, a little man, who lives in Little Albany-street, Regent's-park, came before Mr. RAWLINSON on Monday, with a profound bow, and requested him, as " a terror to evil-doers, and a praise to them that do *ell," to hear his case, and stretch out the arm of justice in his behalf, and in behalf of a congregation committed to his care. Mr. RAWLINSON asked him if he was a minister ? —He said he had been called to preach the gospel, and for that purpose, under a regular licence, his house was made use of as a chapel, and the God of this world had so blinded the eyes of many, that even some of his neighbours, who in all other points were highly respectable, became persecutors ; he went about in danger of his life, or some bodily harm ; the devotion of his congregation was inter rupted ; it had been threatened to pull down, his house, or burn it over his head ; and if a warrant was not granted against Mr. Thomas (a respectable manufacturer of rustic furniture), his next door neigh bour but one, the place would soon be in flames. Yesterday the case came on for hearing, and Mr. Thomas was required to answer it. Mr. Thomas said, he considered religion a per sonal thing, and kept his to himself, but his neigh bour, the complainant, drew congregations of people to his house every night, who called themselves Bellyzonians, and they disturbed the whole neigh bourhood by hallooings, hootings, and other horrid noises ; and strangers passing by were as much astonished as if murder was called. " We do not call ourselves Bellyzonians," replied the parson. " You have got plenty of names," said Mr. Thomas : " that is one of them ; and you told the Magistrate, the other day, at Marlborough-street, you was a Muggletonian." " No," said a person in the crowd, " a Babylo- nian." " It's false," replied the parson. Mr. RAwuNsoN (to the complainant)—Pray what do you call yourselves ? These are all mon strous hard names. The complainant answered, Bethelonians; but his case failed, for the Magistrate thought his fears were groundless, and he told him he considered him one of those unfortunate enthusiasts who, instead of pro. moting peace and good-will by their religion, dis turbed them. GUILDHALL. Sarah Shannon was re-examined before Mr. Al derman ANSLEY yesterday, charged on suspicion of having murdered a man, whose name is unknown, in the year 1819, at a house in White Hart-yard, Drury-lane. Brown, the woman who caused the prisoner to be apprehended, said she had something to add to her former deposition. When the young man spoke with the prisoner about five months ago about some rumours that she had committed a serious crime, the prisoner said that witness was in possession of a secret by which she could have her topped (hanged) at any time. Then you rte st have committed either murder or forgery, replied the man, and she said she had committed the latter. The man asked her how she could have done that, when she could not write or read : and the prisoner turned-she conver sation to some other subject. Witness did not hear of this second confession till Saturday evening. She called Benjamin Powell, the man alluded to, who corro borated the above statement, except as to the time when this conversation occurred. He represented that the admission was made to him three months ago. The Alderman did not inquire who he was, or how long he had known the prisoner. Corby, the constable, then put in the following document:— " This is to certify that I have examined the bas ket of bones brought by Mr. Corby, and found them to be those of a beast ; and, from their general ap pearance, think it likely to be that of a calf. " ROBERT DAVIES, Surgeon. Aug. 12.-126, Holborn-hill." Corby produced two bones as specimens. One of them was, beyond dispute, not the jaw-bone of a man. The ALDERMAN asked if there was any suspicion that the witness was actuated by malice.—Corby said there was suspicion, as she had caused the pri soner to be apprehended on a charge of stealing a brass cock and some leaden pipe. Witness said this was true. The prisoner told her where she sold the pipe, and what she got for it ; and she gave information to a constable. A constable said he apprehended the prisoner, but as the landlord, on being acquainted with the facts, would not prosecute, the prisoner was liberated. Alderman ANSLEV said the prisoner denied having raised the report, and, at all events, no proof of her guilt had been discovered. The prisoner must now be discharged.—She was accordingly liberated. The landlord of the house in White Hart-yard complained that Brown sometimes came about his door and seemed disposed to raise a mob. He begged that she might be ordered to keep away. He in tended now, for his own satisfaction, to have the whole of the back cellar dug up and searched. The woman readily promised to abstain from vi siting White Hart-yard, and so the matter ended. A salesman in Newgate-market inquired what he ought to do if a carcass was brought to him, the wholesomeness of which was doubtful in a trifling degree, some butchers thinking it sound enough for food, others doubting. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said he would do well to take the opinion of some inquest-man who is also a butcher; for if any decidedly unsound meat should be discovered on his premises, it would be presumed to be for sale for the food of man, and he would be heavily fined. The only way to avoid the fine was to refuse to receive within their premises all unsound meat. The reason of the graziers continuing to send their " casualties" to — Newgate-market, — is obvious enough. The sausage and soup-makers give twice as much as the horse-slaughterer, and the grazier pockets the profit which the horse-boiler would get, if the beef, &c., were consigned direct to him, and by him hawked about the trade (the sausage and alamode beef-trade. BOW-STREET. On Tuesday night, Mr. James Neale, an engraver in the Strand, appeared before Mr. MINSIIULL, to charge his wife with having assaulted and threatened to do him some bodily harm. Mr. Neale was ac companied to the office by his uncle, a solicitor, and commenced his statement by saying, he had no other resource to save himself from the fury of the de fendant, who was a woman of the most violent and jealous temper. Mrs. Neale here interrupted her husband, exclaim ing, " Oh, you false man, you cruel wretch, how can you say so ? Your worship, I have been married to this man for ten years, and have borne him four children. The truth is, he goes with other women." Mr. Neale declared that this was totally untrue. Mrs. Neale—Why, you know you told me your self that you have had four or five children by a cousin of your own. The uncle of Mr. Neale assured Mr. Minshull that there was no truth whatever in Mrs. Neale's asser• tion. Amore prudent or virtuous female could not exist than .the person to whom allusion had been made. Mrs. Neale, with increased vehemence, asserted that she heard the tale from her husband's own lips, let him deny it if he could. Mr. Neale—l do deny it. There is not the least foundation for such a calumny. Mrs. Neale—Oh, you false man. Did you not yourself tell all about it, and did I not catch ber kissing you in the ball, and declaring that she was the person who ought to have had you ? Did she not say, " Oh, James, my dear James, you and I ought to have been united." Was that proper, I say ? Was that conduct which a faithful wife ought tamely to submit to ? Mr. MlNsuum, requested the lt.dy to be more moderate. Mr. Neale said that the husband of the female of whom Mrs. Neale had spoken was in the hall when the transaction took place. He was about to enter into some further explanation when Ifs uncle told him to proceed at once to the charge of assault. The complainant accordingly stated, that on Sunday afternoon a friend and his wife, Mrs. Neale, and him self, went down to Queenhithe. They were stand ing by the water-side, looking at the steam-boats as they passed, when Mrs. Neale, without any sufficient reason, began abusing a waterman. He (complain ant), fearing that she might get into some scrape, requested his friend to see that she was not insulted. Mrs. Neale—Oh ! you cared much about me. Why did you not tell his worship that you walked oil' arm in arm with another man's wife ? Was this proper conduct ? Could flesh and blood bear it ? Mr. MINSIIULL—You do not mean, I hope, Madam, to cast any imputation upon the lady, because she took him by the arm ? Mrs. Neale — Oh ! by no means. I believe that lady to be quite virtuous. The complainant went-on to state, that his wife left him at Queenhithe, and he saw no more of her until the night following, when being at Dome in QUEEN-SQUARE, Yesterday John Potter was fully committed by Mr. MARRIOTT for trial, on the charge of forging and uttering a bill of exchange, drawn on James Burton, of Cowley, near Uxbridge, and paid by the prisoner to Mr. Neale, of Battle-bridge. Charles Jarroms, a watchman belonging to St. Margaret's parish, and whose beat is in Parliament street, brought before the Magistrates an unfortunate girl of the town, named Ann Wylie, whom he charged with being drunk on the previous night. The watchman began his story, but was so drunk himself that he could scarcely stand or speak ; and both parties were ordered to be locked up. After the watchman had recovered, they were again placed at the bar, when the girl was dis charged, and the watchman was fined ss. for being drunk, and ordered to be discharged from his situation. The affrays between English and Irish la bourers, of which frequent mention is made in the country papers, and the attempts of incendiaries in the country, are signs which it would be folly to neglect. " Can such a state of things be borne (says the Newark Times), that one parish should be burthened in one week with five hun dred and thirty-two paupers, in addition to four hundred persons in the workhouse, anti perhaps half that number already working on the roads for the same parish ? Our streets and towns are filled with Irish peasantry, seeking employment, and finding employment to the injury of our 0111 workmen; and yet, in one parish, the above appal ling fret exists." The people of England may rest assured that so long as Ireland remains a prey to anarchy, they will be overrun wits the victims which it creates. Ca tholic Etnimcipation is only valualdr, as it leaves a clear course for entering on the improvement of Ireland. It is time, however, that something should be done- The land lords of Ireland have had their way long enough, in con science.—Morning Chronicle. A woman 107 years of age walked from Melksham to this city, on Wednesday last, a distance of 12 miles, to see her child, who is upwards of eighty.

Before these two deaths took place, Catherine, the youngest daughter, had left the house, and lived as a servant in different families. Rive years elapsed, during which nothing transpired touching the deaths of Ann Maria, of the wi dow, or Madelaine, her daughter. But there existed a witness of the crimes of Riembauer, and that witness was Catherine ! This young girl, who was naturally of a very lively disposi tion, was sometimes attacked with fits of sombre melancholy and convulsions, which could not be accounted for.
