SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Sir Robert Peel in 1832 was loud in his invectives against the press, which he was pleased to describe as most profligate. About this time the Right Honour able Gentleman would seem, from his own declaration in the House of Commons, to have been scared from his purpose of recanting his principles a second time to please the Duke of Wellington. The professed principles of the new Government are yet shrouded in mystery, and it would be premature to charge the Right Honourable Gentleman with an intention of doing what. the Duke of Wellington was ready to do in 1832. On the 114.119iday of May, 1832, when Sir Robert's heart failed him, the Times had a very pow erful article, which did good service to the popular cause ; and as it seems as applicable to the present crisis as to that of 1832, we cannot do better than lay it before our readers : " See what is preparing. There is not a town in the United Kingdom where a meeting is not about to be held, and where ' Create Peers or withhold taxes' is not spoken of as the single alternative. What, then, can be done with such a people? An Anti-reform Ministry ! or a Ministry of Anti- reformers, brought round by fear, tendering reform in the spirit of ' Con servation,' and nibbling at every fragment of popular conces sion in the present Bill, as if what was lost to the country must of necessity be gained to the Government I That, we can tell them, will not do now. It is, indeed, possible that the Tory House of Lords may grant to the Duke of Welling ton what it had refused to Lord Grey, and pass the identical Bill under an oligarch Administration, which, under a liberal one, it has rejected. But the people have a voice, and they will cry loudly to a Cabinet of Tory Reformers (should such a Cabinet be formed)—' Rapacious hypocrites I you shall not so torment the English nation; support an honest Administra tion, for we will not trust the charter of our liberties in un clean and factious hands like yours.' " No ! we will not trust the charter of our liberties in the unclean and factious hands of the Duke of Wel lington and Sir Robert Peel. Their hands are still unclean end factious ; they have not changed, though the language of the Times has changed. The people of England are not so indifferent as the Times would have them to be with respect to the hands to which the Government shall be trusted. The real question now at issue, as is well observed by the Scotsman, " is whether the old Oligarchy or the People shall govern the country. The House of Lords represents the one ; the House of Commons the other. The people, by the elections of 1832, placed the Govern ment in the hands of men who were the organs of their desires and opinions ; and the Oligarchy are now making a desperate attempt to get a Parliament returned which will betray the cause of the people, by transferring the Government to their enemies. The simple question which the constituency will have to de cide at the coming election, is whether the Adminis tration is to be formed of the leaders of the People or the leaders of the Oligarchy, the friends of Reform or the friends of Corruption.' The Times of yesterday tells us, that " whatever may be the cast of a man's politics—whatever his hopes and wishes—he must be blinder than a bat, and duller than a hog, if he fail to see and to understand, that the people will have none other than a Liberal and Reform Government." But the old Tory papers tell us, that the Reformers will all be in accordance with the Tory cast of politics. If men of an illiberal cast of poli tics wish to conduct the Government, it must be to give effect to their own principles. It may, there fore, be assumed, that whether they succeed to the extent of their wishes or not, the Government of the Duke and his puppets will endeavour to prevent the people of England from deriving much benefit from the Reform Bill. The great point is, make a power ful effort at once, and return men to Parliament who will make no terms with the Tories. The simple and the safe course is, act on the maxim that prevention is better than cure. We know not all that the Tories may do when firmly seated in power. Their designs may be favoured by various accidental circumstances. But we know that so long as they are not in power they can do no injury. The Reform Bill is only the foundation for various essential improvements of our institutions. Before the Reform Bill, the Lords returned the House of Commons ; and they wish to regain their ascendancy over the Commons. Till the Lords is brought into har mony with the representatives of the people, Government can only be carried on by acting on what Lord John Rus sell told us was Lord Grey's principle—introducing no measure into the Commons, to which it was known the Lords were indisposed. We are yet, therefore, in a state of Constitutional anarchy. The Whig Ministry have been dismissed, to enable the Lords to try whe ther the anarchy may be made to terminate in an oli garchy. We must not conceal from ourselves that the struggle is between oligarchy and Constitutional liberty. We must have men heartily disposed to use the power given by the Reform Bill to effect those further changes, without which we can never be secure against oligarchical machinations against our rights. It is one of the artifices of the Times and other un principled journals to represent the Reform Bill as a sufficient protection to the people. We are fully sensible of the immense importance of the Reform Bill as a means to an end. We have in that measure the first step in the direction of effectual Reform. But till our municipal institu tions be changed, and some modification of the Lords take place, we shall be exposed to con stant agitation, caused by those who still live in the hope of regaining their lost power. The people must make one great effort to obtain, what Earl Grey was unable to extort. Though we have no doubt of the issue, we would not have the people to hold the Tories too cheap. They have been concocting their plans, while the people, not dreaming of a change, have been taken by surprise. There is no time to be lost. The people must everywhere make the necessary arrangements for the contest. The memory of 1832 is still fresh. In some of the counties, the 501. tenantry-at-will clause may give the Tories advantages; but in all the towns, Reformers will be returned. It would be libellina the Li people of England to suppose that they are not fu;nr aware of the importance of the coming struggle. If they fail to do their duty now, they will lay the foundation for much national calamity. Bitterly shall we all have to lament any want of exertion now. The Tories will soon make us sensible of our error. No, there can be no compromise between Toryism and Re form. Let us keep all unclean men out of the ta bernacle.—Morning Chronicle. The Times informed us yesterday, that Mr. Emer son Tennent had forwarded for presentation to his Majesty an Address, signed by 22,000 inhabitants'. The Standard, improving upon the Times, informs us that the Address was signed by no less than 23,000 inhabitants. " The signatures (adds our evening con temporary), we can assure the Morning Choonicle, have been counted. The Address is loyal, dutiful, and manly—tendering unreserved support to the Mo narch in the exercise of his prerogative ; and antici pating from his Majesty, almost in the very same words (which is remarkable, because they could not have been known in Belfast), the line of policy pro mised by the King, in his reply to the Common Council Address." We can easily believe that the names have been counted on paper, in London ; but it would have been impossible to find individuals corres ponding to the names in the town of Belfast. We had ima gined that after the exposure of the absurd state ments of the Evening Mail, swallowed so readily by the Standard, we should for a time have been freed from the necessity of adverting to similar tricks. Why, the whole adult male population of Belfast does not exceed 15,000. By the late census, the whole popu lation is 60,000 —one-fourth for the adult males, is 15,000. The other day about 6,000 Reformers met to petition against the Duke of Wellington ; and we are entitled to take the Reformers at 7,000 at least. This would leave 8,000 persons in a condition to sign the address forwarded by Mi. Emerson Tennent. The Orange musters are like the Russian regiments—very complete on paper. It is the rule, we believe, in the case of the Russian regiments, to take the actual num bers at one-half or one-third of the number on paper. But this allowance would be too liberal for Orange addresses. We are not bound to tell the process by which the number of names on paper is made 23,000. It is enough for us to demonstrate that 23,000 indivi duals corresponding to these names cannot be found in Z' &att. , leave it to M r .

Sir Robert arrived yesterday in London in time for the breakfast-table, on which, we presume, the fragrant reports of Conserva• tive re-action, as well as other dainties, were profusely laid. We wish him a good digestion of both. How he may relish the racy and well-buttered arguments lately brought on the table respecting the repentance of Old Sarum and of schedule A, and their miraculous conver sion to Radicalism—we cannot pronounce. Mother Cole's conversion to morality was nothing to this new found virtue. The alleged popularity of rotten boroughs and their champions will at all events make the Right Hon. Baronet stare. Perhaps, too, he may become somewhat confused with the self-refuting stock argu ments of the Wellington lickplatter prints :—Firstly, that the people have exhibited no excitement ;—none whatever ;—not the slightest ;•—and, secondly, that they are too wise to exhibit such an excitement—know ing what they are about (sly dogs I) knowing that their controul of the purse renders excitement quite unnecessary. Ah I that controul of the purse, Sir Robert—" Aye, there's the rub ;" there's the unlucky result of extinguishing schedule A ; " there's the re spect which makes the calamity " of a Minister who has to beat his brains for ways and means, an affair of "too long life" for the sake of his personal conve nienc.—Morning Advertiser. The first official act performed by the new Premier was, as we have stated above, the despatch of commu nications to Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham. Upon the result of this communication, it is of course useless for us to speculate at the present moment, but certain we are that the acceptance of office in such a Government as that which we are satisfied Sir Robert Peel will form, will be as consistent with the honour able and high-principled conduct evinced by his Lord ship and Sir James, in withdrawing themselves from the Destructive Cabinet, as it will be serviceable and satisfactory to the country at large. We yesterday made some observations upon Mr. Attwood's address to his " dear friends and fellow-townsmen" of Birming ham, in which we repeated our often-expressed opinion of the absolute necessity at the present moment of the oblivion of past political differences upon minor points for the purpose of securing that unanimity in which alone is strength, in defending the Constitution from assaults and inroads which now all men, except the most desperate destructives, view with apprehension and alarm. It was in vindication of their Conserva tive principles that Lord Stanley. and Sir James Graham secededfrom the Cabinet in July. In support of those principles we sincerely trust they will join the Cabinet in December. There do not appear to us any questions, or if any very few, and those of se condary importance, upon which any difference of opi nion can reasonably exist between the Conservative Whigs and the Conservative Tories. Almost all the topics likely to divide a Government firmly resolved to serve the country honestly, truly, and constitutionally, have been exhausted ; and if the results have not been such as the Conservatives of either party might have anticipated, still, as we yesterday said, it will be the duty of the new Ministry to carry into effect those measures which have already become part of the law of the land with judgment, discretion, and temperance. Sure we are that, at a crisis like the present, the good sense and good feeling of those whose property, nay, whose very existence, is at stake, will combine generously, vigorously, and disinterestedly, to maintain the insti tutions of the country, anxious, as our gracious Mo 'larch has said, to " correct abuses wherever they exist," and, like him, " to support and maintain the Constitution in Church and State." We are con vinced that no party bickerings, no desire for office, no feelings of jealousy, no suspicions of neglect, will be suffered to operate upon the minds of that class of men who are likely to be personally affected by the construction of the new Ministry. To make the Go vernment firm and lasting, there should be no prepon derating interest in its composition—no particular sect or party should be predominant ; but a selection should be made from all divisions of the Conservative. party of the country, to check the ravages of the De structives, who would seek (as Mr.- Attwood says) to produce in our country a reign of " anarchy, wild ness, blood, and terror." We must be content to wait for a short time for the consummation of the event which teems with such vital importance. We do so, however, with hope and confidence, and look forward to the wisdom and integrity of Sir Robert Peel, in his new capacity of Premier Minister to a magnanimous and Constitutional Sovereign, for the establishment of a Cabinet pure and independent in character, in whose elements neither selfishness nor personal prejudice shall mingle, but which, by its firmness, steadiness, and in tegrity, may arrest the progress of a system from which all conscientious men and loyal subjects have turned, or are turning, with dread and loathing ; and, by a due attention to the interests of all ranks of their country men, ensure for themselves the respect and support of the people, and for the nation peace, honour, and prosperity.—Morning Post. The Scotch have the reputation of being a frugal people, but their Judges are singularly deficient in the national habit of good thrift, according to the evidence given before the Committee on their salaries. Mr. John Hope states that his father, the Lord President, who has for many years had a salary of 4,3001. a-year, is greatly in debt," and obliged to give up his car riage, though lie has lived, and brought up his family " quietly and economically," and none of his children - have, by their debts or expenses, occasioned his em barrassment. How the effect can have been prodnced is, then, quite a riddle, considering the value of money and the prices of things in Edinburgh. An income of 4,3001., regularly paid, in the northern metropo lis, must be at least equal to one of 5,0001. a-year in London ; and it is difficult to understand how the possessor of such a fortune, living quietly and economically, keeping only one carriage, and unen cumbered by the debts of an extravagant family, could become involved. Yet upon this case and another of a similar kind will be grounded a demand for an increase of salary. It should, however, be quite clear that the demand is rather for an increase of prudence or better management, as we may be pretty sure that no accession of income which the country could be asked to afford, would suffice to pay the way of a gentleman who without any expensive establishment could so contrive as to involve himself in debt in Edinburgh upon a salary of 4,3001. An extra vagant man, who gets into difficulties with a good certain income, may renounce his expensive habits and bring his expenditure within bounds ; but we know not what is to be hoped from an economist, who, living in a quiet way, gets greatly in debt upon a sa lary equal in value to 5,0001. a year in London. To attempt by any addition to remedy this kind of defi ciency, would be like pouring more water into a sieve in the hope of filling it. The quiet manager in Edin burgh, for whom 4,3001. a-year does not suffice, must indeed be plenus rimarum. It is unpleasant to have to advert to such a case, but it is evident that a coming job has cast its shadow before it, and we have not only to consider the delicacy due to individuals, but also the justice due to the public. An Edinburgh magazine (Tait's,) which has some convincing statements and just remarks in answer to the pretences for increasing judicial salaries, observes on the new habits of ex pense which have superseded the old f ruga lity, and has " a change of style,' which been the cause of much dishonesty and r uin, and asks, "Is this cor rupting, unsafe, and vicious state of mann ers one i n which the judges of the land should acquiesce, much less claim to lead as the highest " d b e e r o e f ea r a e i 'd den u t ) Scottish society, and are :5—.1 to• -•.et. e d re .

The actual amount of money is, however, a mere trifle compared with t t o " the father or to ."" - the principle upon which increase is urged, . S and the ungracious time selected." The other case at -" ' Iv cods supplied to the father ;" and others, " Because the' which we glanced is that of Lord Craigie, quoted by Mr. Hope in proof of the inadequacy of the Judges' salaries. His salary was 20001. a-vear, about equal in value to 3,0001. in London : he was " a bachelor of remarkably retired habits," and lived in a small house, kept but one man-servant, and no carriage, and yet we are told his total savings at his death were but 5001. and an insurance of 4,000/. upon his life. What does, what can this prove, but mismanagement ? It cannot be supposed that the salary was not su perabundant for the style of life described. In Eng land it is remarked that no men are so unfortu nate in their investments of money as the lawyers, especially when they touch land ; and from these instances we should be inclined to suspect that their northern brethren must be us unlucky in their speculations, for we know not how otherwise to account for the poor circumstances of functionaries of good incomes and economical habits in a cheap country. We are no advocates for a niggardly system. The Judges should be so paid as to be in easy, we may say in affluent, circumstances, but short of maintaining a style of luxury or fashion incompatible with the moral dignity of their office. Whether 3,0001. or 4,0001. a year and upwards in Scotland, equivalent at least to 4,0001. or 5,0001. a-year in England (and by some calculations equivalent to 4,5001. and 6,000/. a year), is sufficient for the proper maintenance of the Judges, is no difficult question. No case is made out by bringing forth instances in which the emoluments have proved insufficient for the persons. There are men who with their rent-roll of a hundred thousand a-year are in debt, but that does not prove that a no bleman cannot maintain the style of living suited to his rank with so narrow an income as • 100,0001. a-year. We hope to hear no more of this matter.— Times. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 8. THE SUN, LIONI*N % WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1834. FORTH V. C. K. WHITAKER. Mr. F. Pommel( stated that this was an action of libel. The plaintiff was a young man just entering life, who had been, educated as a surveyor, but who, until a favourable opportunity offered for entering upon the active duties of his profession, was residing with his father. The plaintiff had been charged by the defendant with absconding from his sureties. This scandalous charge was one of the worst kind, and especially when directed against a young man. The plaintiff, while waiting for the opportunity of eligible employment, was living upon an allowance made him by his father ; ; he and the defendant had been school-fellows, and the defendant was now a clerk in the office of an attorney. The defendant offered to get a bill discounted for the plain tiff, and he did get it discounted, for the sum of 28/. ; that bill became due and was dishonoured, and an arrangement was subsequently made by which the sum due upon it was to be paid at 21. per month. One of these days of pilyment fell on a Sunday. The person entrusted to pay the money went up on the Saturday afternoon to the office where the defendant was, but saw no one but a little boy ; he did not therefore leave the money, but he left a message and a note. On the Monday morning he called again to pay the 21., but was told that judgment had been signed under the plaintiff's cognovit, and that the money could not be received unless the amount of costs incurred in signing judgment was also settled. Of course he refused this de mand. A very short time afterwards the following hand bill was printed by the defendant, and circulated by him amongst the plaintiff's friends : " Absconded—Whereas Henry Townsend Forth, late of 241, Oxford-street, has absconded from his sureties ; no tice is hereby given that one guinea reward will be paid to any person who shall bring the present residence of the said Henry Townsend Forth to Mr. C. K. Whitaker, 19, Pickett-street, Strand." The Jury would see what were the motives with which this placard was issued, when he told them that it was sent to the plaintiff's attorney, to his sister, and to his brother- in-law. Mr. MILLER, for the defendant, contended that his client had a right to complain of the manner in which he had been treated throughout this case, and not the least in the opening of it. The youth of the defendant was care fully kept out of view. It appeared, however, that he must be younger than the plaintiff, for while the plaintiff had finished his education, the defendant was still in his articles of clerkship. Now, who was the plaintiff ? Why, he ap peared to be a young man that wasted his time at cigar divans, and accepted bills which he could not honour, and then gave cognovits, on which he did not pay the instal ments as they became due. The. Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dim. 9. PRINGLE V. STURT. Mr. WILSON stated that this was an action for breach of promise of 'marriage, to which the defendant had pleaded that he did not promise. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case. The plaintiff was of Scotch descent, and having emigrated to America, there married a cousin of the same name, who was prac tising at the American bar. She was shortly left a young widow, and falling with ill health, resolved to come to England. She accordingly embarked, and on the voyage became intimately acquainted with the defendant, a Captain in the Royal Navy, and connected with a family of opu lence in the west of England. On the arrival of the vessel in England, the defendant made a written promise of mar riage, induced the plaintiff to accompany him to London, where he took lodgins for her. He subsequently went into the country, and wrote her a number of letters, in which the same promise was repeated. (The Learned Counsel here read the letters, many of which contained promises, and references to promises of marriage, and were signed as the plaintiff's " Betrothed.") Jane Hill, examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—Is wife of Mr. Zechariah Hill. I formerly lived in ---, City-road. I recollect Mrs. Pringle coming to lodge there in February, 1831. She lived with me a year and nine months. During that time Captain Sturt vi s ited her. The first time was about theee or four months after her arrival. She was in the family way, and had a child, a fine boy, who is now alive. I overheard some conversation between Captain Sturt and Mrs. Pringle. It was the second day after her confinement, when she was in bed. I showed him into the bed-room. I heard her say she " would rather he would have thrown her overboard, than have brought her into the distress she was then in." He said, " Isabella, you need not fear, I will allow you 21. per week, that will come to 1001. a-year, till I return to London, and then I will marry you." That was all I could then hear. Mr. Henderson, a clerk in Hammersley's banking-house, said Mr. Sturt, of Buckshaw H ouse , near Sherburne, is father of the defendant. He keeps a good account at our house. I know he has a son namod Richard Henry Sturt, and am acquainted with his handwriting. I believe these letters to be in his handwriting. The witness then underwent a long examination upon the appearances of particular parts of several letters of the de fendant, written after that above referred to, and in which the different references to the alleged promise of marriage were, in his opinion, written upon erasures, and were not in the handwriting of the defendant. After this examination Mr. Sergeant WILDE and Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD consulted together, and agreed, that as it was now growing dark, and it required a good light to examine the letters, the cause had better be referred to a Gentleman at the Bar.—Referred accordingly. ROGERS V. ANDERSON AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case had been inspector of police. The defendants were proprietors and publishers of the Morning Advertiser newspaper, in which. a letter had ap peared charging the plaintiff with having been found in bed with the wife of one of the policemen. The publication havinc , been proved, and the first witness having established the falsehood of the statement, the defendants made an apology, and expressed their regret that they should inad vertently have admitted the letter, whereupon a verdict of 40s. was taken by consent. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, DEC. 9. BINGHAM V. HAMMOND. This was an action brought before Mr. JAMES, the Se condary, for the recovery of 181. 3s. 6d., for clothes sup plied by the plaintiff to the defendant's son, a minor. The son of the defendant had been for a considerable time served with clothes by Mr. Tongue, a tail or , w h o worked for the defendant's family, and his clothes, although be was, at the time the plaintiff gave the credit, no more than seventeen years of age, cost about 401. a year. It was was proved that a gentleman named Robertson bad recom mended the defendant's son to the plaintiff, by speaking of the undoubted respectability of the defendant himself, and that no expostulation had been made by the defendant on the subject of giving credit to the boy, until payment of the bill was demanded. It was also proved that the defendant had said that, although he was not liable under such cir cumstances, he would pay the demand when the twelve months' credit was expired. Upon the part of the defendant, it was contended that the plaintiff had not exercised necessary precaution in the case. 'The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the amount demanded, The counsel for the defendant asked whether the Jury • verdict, because they considered the goods were supplied to the son." They again entered into con sultation, but could not agree. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday, for the dis patch of public business, at which the Lord Mayor, sixteen Aldermen, and the City Officers were present. The inquest of the parish of St. Sepulchre, in the ward of Farringdon Without, presented some ruinous and danger ous premises, which the Court ordered to be immediately boarded up, to prevent accidents to the public, and instructed the solicitor to put the Act of Parliament into force. Sundry persons were allowed to be admitted brokers, and several discharged from that office. Commissioners of the Court of Requests, for the month of February next were appointed. The Court directed a by-law to be prepared, for the re gulation of the number of passengers to be carried by steam navigating the river. The consideration of proceedings to be adopted under the Act passed in the last session of Parliament, respecting ward constables, was postponed till after Plow Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A case of rather a curious kind came on yesterday be fore the LORD MAYOR. A young woman, who appeared to be in great distress of mind, was brought up on a charge of felony, but her prosecutor was not present. The LORD MAYOR bad received a letter signed by a fo reign gentleman, named Lucett, who stated that he was a professional man and well known, that his engagements for the 'day were of so important a nature as to prevent the possibility of his attending until Wednesday at the Justice Room, and that he hoped justice would be done to him. His Lordship said that he was anxious to do justice to his correspondent as to the female at the bar, but he could not do her the injuotice to send her back to prison without in quiring into the cause of her detention. - A witness, as he was standing in Token-House-yard, at half-past eight o'clock on the preceding evening, saw the prisoner coming down the yard steadily and quietly. Im mediately afterwards he saw a foreign gentleman who was walking up the yard, and who of course met the prisoner, suddenly seize her by the collar, and shake her in the most violent manner, and accuse her of having robbed him of his purse. The woman appeared astonished and quite ignorant of any robbery, but the foreigner persisted in his statement, and grasped the prisoner by the neck i❑ a very rough man ner. At length, at the request of the people whom the odd ness of the matter collected together, he called an officer, and gave her up to the care of the keeper of the Compter. Other witnesses deposed to the same effect. The prisoner cried bitterly during the examination. Sho declared that she was shocked and surprised at being laid hold of by a person she had never seen before, and charged with robbery. The LORD MAvon said it was evident that the gentle• man had made a mistake, and discharged the prisoner. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Roach and Thomas Cannon, in the em ploy of Messrs. Blyth, Hamilton, and Co., feather dressers and horse-hair manufacturers in Upper Thames-street, were brought up for further examination, on suspicion of having attempted to set fire to their extensive Warehouse, by placing a small piece of candle against a post on the fourth story, so as to ignite a partition by the side of it and a beam above it. The prisoners were discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Win. Cotton, a toll-collector belonging to the Islington trust, was summoned to this office, on the com plaint of Mr. Freemantle, currier, West-row, Carnaby market, charged with having demanded and taken more than the legal toll. Mr. Freemantle, being sworn, stated that he was en gaged by a Mr. King, of Oxford, to bring his household furniture to Dalston, and on arriving wich the load at the turnpike-gate, Islington, the defendant demanded Is. 3d. toll, which witness paid him, on which he then demanded ss. 3d. post horse duty. Witness disputed his right to make such a charge, saying he had no check, when the de fendant said that if he did not pay it he should seize one of his horses, and in a rude manner told him that he had a very comfortable stable to keep it in. Rather than have his horse seized he paid the money, and instituted the pre sent proceedings. The case was dismissed. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Catherine Long, a young Irishwoman, was brought before Messrs. WALKER and. HARDWICK, on a charge of stabbing Catherine Long, her sister-in-law, se veral times about the face and head, with a chissel, and in juring her so seriously that it was supposed she could not survive many hours.—The prisoner was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PEACE WARRANT.—Mrs. Dorothea Evans and Mrs. Bridget Middleton, two of the fattest and funniest-looking females in Crown -court, came yesterday before Mr. CONANT and Mr. CHAMBERS, the former to substantiate two accu sations against the latter of having " ki c ked up a r u m p us " with her on Sunday irorning. Mrs. Evans set out by describing her own temper as one of peculiar pl aca bility an d m ild ness , an d th en b ranc h e d o ff with certain insinuations against the temper of her next-door neighbour, the defendant, plainly showing that it was ex actly the reverse of her's, and, in fact, that its natural viva city was by no means pleasantly stimulated with draughts of something not to be procured from the parish pump. Numberless were the provocations which she had put up with, her peculiar excellence of temper enabling her to withstand the attacks ; but she confessed that on Sunday morning the business was done by four double knocks at her door. She popped her head out of the window, and, to her great alarm, discovered the defendant, surrounded by a mob of people, standing before her house, using op probrious epithets towards her, and calling her, as she said, everything but a " lady." Mrs. Middleton assigned as a reason for her knocking at Mrs. Evans's door that she went to demand the restoration of her husband's tongs. The MAGISTRATES, finding the parties disinclined to ar range matters amicably, held the defendant to bail. POOR LAW QUESTION.—A paralytic old man belonging to the parish of St. James, stated to Mr. CONANT and Mr. CHAMBERS, that he had applied for relief to the Board, and the only relief the Board would grant was to admit him and also his wife into the workhouse. Now his wife was able and willing to work, and at present bad a situation as nurse, receiving her food and eighteen pence a week, which was sufficient for her support. His wife did not wish to become the inmate of a parish workhouse, but the Board refused to admit him without her. Mr. Bryant, the acting overseer, said he was relieving the applicant although he was a non-resident. He had stated the man's case fairly to the Board, and that was the decision they had come to. The old man, with tears in his eyes, said he would do anything to keep out of a workhouse, but as his wife's earnings were insufficient for both, he had been obliged to apply to the parish. He was still able to carry a board about, and if the parish would give him a'shilling or two a week, he would try to maintain himself. Mr. Bryant was inclined to think the labour of the wife was sufficient for the support of herself and her husband, and in that case he considered the wife was bound to exert herself for her husband's maintenance. Mr. CHAMBERS said that the wife, however capable, was not .bound to contribute towards the support of her husband, and remarked that it was not worth while to go into general principles. Here was the case of an old man afflicted with paralysis, and the question was, what did the Board mean to do for him ? Mr. CONANT said it appeared to him a case so well de serving of compassion that, as the pa r i s h did no t c h oose t o do what appeared to him to be fitting, he should order him half-a-crown out of the poor box, leaving it to the applicant to do with the money as he thought fit, and not giving him any particular directions how to apply it. Mr. CHAMBERS fell no sort of hesitation in tellling the applicant to go and get a bed with part of it in St. James's parish, and then he would have a claim legally on them. _ Half-a-crown was then handed to the applicant, and he withdrew. SUSPECTED MURDER.—A few weeks ago a lady named Sedgwick, living in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, came to Marlborough-street Office, and stated her suspicions that foul play had been practised by two persons, foreigners, named Chabussier, and their servant, Mary Ann Taylor, upon a female infant, which had been born a very short time after the marriage of Madame Chabussier, who occupied lodgings in her house, and carried on business as a milliner and dress maker. Her lodgers had left her for a short time, and after occupying apartments in different parts of the suburbs, they came from their last lodgings at Hornsey to her again, but without the infant. A number of circumstances having oc curred to awaken suspicion, she questioned the parties respect ing the child. She received unsatisfactory answers, and then she considered it was proper to lay the matter before a Magis trate. A warrant was instantly granted, an officer of this establishment, who proceeded immediately to take the accused into custody. He, however, discovered that the parties had taken the alarm, and a few days previous had procured pass ports, and had gone to Belgium. The affair having got wind in the neighbourhood of Hornsey, a diligent search was set on foot, to see if it was possible to find the body of the child. The search proved unsuccessful up to Monday afternoon last, when a body, of which little doubt can be entertained that it is the body of the infant belonging to the parties was found, and information given to -the authorities at Hornsey. The Coroner was sent to, and an inquiry, it is expected, will take into this mysterious affair. plaid HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.
