Mr. BRODERIP said ter rre li i ' w t 0 .0, 1 i n c e e r n s i i o n f must be mistaken, and thik t he Metropolitan Police, A ....bk9aa -no doubt .wished to make the system as perfect as possible, could not have issued directions prohibiting a po liceman from entering a public-house under such circumstances as these. The woman had received t blow which might have cost her her life; to use he policeman's own words, ” she was in a mo-t dreadful state, and streaming with blood," and he ought to bye instantly gone in and taken the party into custody. Barton assured the Magistrate that he only acted according to his orders. The police were strictly i p n r g o h i i n b ipt public-house r from b l l i e-hou s e entering ro w rows, pu e xc b e l i p c- ho u t inc s a e s s c: or s of i nmurder,terfei. or when the cry of " Murder" was raised. Mr. BRODERIP said he was almost convinced the police were labouring under a mistake; a general order might have been given to the police not to enter public-houses, nor interfere in public-house brawls ; and there was good sense in that order but there must be some exception to the rule, or there was no knowing what might be the consequences. It was impossible for any one to say what might have been the result of the dangerous wound inflicted on the woman; and when the policeman saw her he ought to have lost no time in taking the prisoner into custody. Barton said he was labouring under no mistake; the order had been read by Fagan, the inspector, and he said that Mr. Commissioner Mayne would dismiss the first man that went into a public-house while on duty. Mr. BRODERIP—Then, unless a cry of " Murder" was heard, a person might be murdered in a public house without your interference ? Barton—Yes, Sir ; I must obey the orders. Mr. BRODERIP— I have no more to say on the subject. I have done. I find no fault with yo'r4 at all. BY AUTHORITY OP PARLIAMENT. GLASGOW LOTTERY.

She had no recollection of what occurred afterwards till the next morning, when she found herself in bed very ill, and ascertained that she had been robbed of the above named articles. She caused information to b e im mediately given to the new police, who took the prisoner into custody. Maria A , ltinson, servant to prosecutrix, deposed that early on the morning of Wednesday, as near ac she could remember, about ten minutes to 1 o'clock, a hackney-coach drove up to the door, and witness on going out saw the prisoner, who said, " Come, make haste, here's your mistress." Witness went to the coach, when she saw prosecutrix lying as though in a fainting fit, with her clothes and bonnet completely soaked with water. Witness immediately obtained the assistance of a gentleman in the house and carried the prosecutrix in doors. She then missed the chain, as also a gold eye-glass attached to it, the two rings, and a cornelian brooch, which her mistress wore in her breast, and which must have been taken away by force, as the stem was still remaining. She instantly went down to the prisoner, to whom she said, " Missus has lost all her jewellery," when the prisoner replied, " I know no thing of it. I brought her from Drury-lane, where she was put into my coach by a gentleman." Wit ness then looked in the coach and found the gold eyeglass, and, after having taken the number of the vehicle, the prisoner drove off. A surgeon was then sent for, and her mistress put to bed, where she re mained in a state of insensibility till 6 o'clock the fore pay the full penalty of forty shillings, or be imprisoned for one month, and he would also find bail to answer the charge of assault at the sessions, William Whiting, the driver of one of Chancellor's omnibuses, was charged with a similar offence, wTtli the exception that he did not assault the police constable. The case was clearly proved. Mr. GREGORIE fined the defendant in the full penalty of forty shillings, or one month's imprison ment. During the proceedings some of the proprietors of omnibuses made use of very indecorous language to the Bench, which was frequently checked by the magistrate. At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. GRE GORIE said that from what he had seen he felt con vinced that the drivers would not so misconduct themselves if they were not urged on by their em ployers. Mr. Chancellor —Very well, Sir ; now we are satisfied, perfeciiy satisfied. The several proprietors then left the office. HATTON-GARDEN. MAGISTERIAL DIFFERENCE. —Yesterday Henry I and Mary Wall, mar. and wife, were brought to this office from the station-house, where they had been locked up all night, charged by Thomas Sher lock, a brassfounder, of N 0.49, Ray-street, Clerken well, with having broken a pane of glass in his shop MANSION-HO USE. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Johnston, who was a few (lays ago charged before the LORD MAYOR with having forged a check upon the house of Messrs. Barnett and Co., was brought up for re-examina tion. Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers, appeared in support of the prosecution ; Mr. Worthier attended for the prisoner. It will be recollected that in payment of the check, which was for 471. 75., four 51. notes and two 101. notes had been given to the prisoner, who presented it at the banking-house ; that some of the notes had been stopped at the Bank of England, and traced to the prisoner ; but that no one recognized the prisoner as the utterer of the check. After some evidence the prisoner was again re manded. ALLEGED ABDUCTION.—A notary, who is ac quainted with Captain Gaylor, of the ship Marquis of Chandos, accompanied by John Hall Dix, a river pilot, waited upon the LORD MAYOR and stated that a most ruinous statement had appeared in the news papers charging Captain Gaylor and all under his control on board his ship with having most vilely maltreated a Mr. William Mills. The account of the alleged maltreatment appeared first in the Times newspaper, where it was published in a detailed and, as far as appearances went, an authentic form; but the matter had been most grossly exaggerated, by, no doubt, some interested person ; a circumstance the more to be deplored as the Captain was not here to defend himself. In order to remove, as much as could be at the present moment removed by one who was an eye-witness to part of that which formed the subject of complaint, the impression likely to be produced by representation from such an authority, the river pilot was ready to make affidavit to a statement of which the following is an exact copy " John Henry Dix, of No. 39, Cotton-street, Poplar, in the county of Middlesex, maketh oath, and saith that as pilot he had charge of the ship Marquis of Chandos, whereof John Gaylor is commander, from the West India Docks to Gravesend; that on Thursday, the 28th of Nov. last, the ship was 'brought up in the Galleons, a mile below Woolwich, at about six o'clock, A. ar. ; that at shout eleven o'clock, A.M., of the same day, Captain Gaylor and Mr. William Mills came on board from a Gravesend steam-boat, when Capt. Gsylor informed Mr. Mills that he intended to take him to Demerara, at which Mr. Mills seemed a little surprised, and inquired of Capt. Gaylor what he was to do for clothes and money. Capt. Gaylor replied that be had better write a letter to his father for some, which the said Mr. Mills accordingly did, which letter was sent by this deponent's son, Geo. Dix, and by him delivered to the father of the said William Mills, at Canton Place, East India-road, before three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day ; that they then proceeded towards Gravesend, where they arrived on the 29th of November, at which place this deponent left the ship at four r.se. of the same day, under weigh and under charge of John Martin, the Downs pilot : that this deponent further saith that, as far as re gards the treatment of the same William Mills by Captain Gaylor, no irons were used or orders given to use them, either by Captain Gaylor or any one else, nor was force of any kind used to detain the said W. Mills on board, Captain Gaylor's conduct, in the opinion of the deponent, towards the said William Mills being gentle manly and honourable, he offering not only to assist him with clothes and money, but with every other necessary the ship could afford, in case be could receive none from home previously to the ship leaving the Downs. This de. ponent further saith, that the said William Mills, in walking the deck with him (this deponent), frequently talked of the circumstances 'that had occurred relative to his quitting Demerara, informing this deponent that be should go out to that colony and give himself up honour ably to his creditors; and further, that he (the said William Mills) frequently spoke to this deponent in high terms of Captain Gaylor's kindness and gentlemanlike behaviour to him on his passage home from Demerara, and that he the said William Mills should never be ab!e to make him (Captain Gaylor) amends for the kindness which he bad received.

The prisoners were also charged with having assaulted two police constables, 103 and 80 of G A woman named Kelly came forward, and swore that no assault was committed, that the complainant threw beer over all the people in the public• house, and that she put her fingers in the defendant's mouth and they were bitten. Mr. BRODERIP said it was really shocking to hear such gross perjury, and indignantly ordered the witness out of the office. The Bench, to mark their sense of the outrage and the way in which it was attempted to be got over, inflicted the full penalty of .5/. and costs, and, in default of payment, to two months' imprisonment. BREACH OF HOSPITALITY.—A decently-attired young woman, named Ann Nicholson, was charged with stealing eight sovereigns from an elderly female named Ann Bailey. It appeared that the prisoner had imposed on the prosecutrix by a fictitious tale, that she had been turned out of doors by her step mother, and had no home to go to, and that the old woman kindly gave her shelter. Some ifrfferences subsequently occurred between them, and they se. parated. Soon after the prisoner left the house the prosecutrix missed the money from a hor in her bedroom, where it had been deposited, and the old woman then recollected that she had left the prisoner alone one morning while she went out on an errand, and on her return she found her making the bed. The prosecutrix told her she had no business to be there, and she made some excuse for the intrusion. The prosecutrix afterwards dis covered that the hasp had been broken off the lock of her box, but did not look at the inside until se veral days had elapsed. It was also stated that on the night of the day she intruded into the bedroom she came home with two new dresses, and said some person she did not know had given her a few pounds. Mr. BRODERIP asked the prosecutrix why she had not applied earlier to the police. The robbery had been committed three weeks ago, and there was no chance of recovering the money now. The prosecutrix stated that she went to Lambeth street office last Tuesday week, and acquainted se veral policemen in the yard there with the circum stances, but they said they had no time to look after the thief then, but one of them took her ad dress, and said he would call in the evening. He kept his word, and after she had given him a description of the thief, he said lie would call next day, but she had never seen him since. Mr. BRODERIP said the conduct of the policeman was highly reprehensible, and he ought to have used his utmost efforts to have discovered the thief, and to recover the money. The woman was poor, but she was not the less entitled to protection, and he must say the police had not afforded the woman that aid they ought to have done. He asked if the po liceman was known. Sergeant Black, the acting inspector, said he was not. Mr. BRODERIP—From the woman having first seen him at Lambeth-street, he must belong to the N, turn glo" same morning'. Mr. John Clarke, surgeo n, No. 15, Leigh-street, Burton-crescent,stated that about half-past one o'clock on the morning of Wednesday he was sent for to at tend the prosecutrix, whom he found in a state of total insensibility. He endeavoured to rouse her, but in vain. Fearing that something might have been infused in liqour that she had drank, he used the stomach-pump, and had given the contents of her stomach to a celebrated chymist for the purpose of being analyzed. Mr. HOSKINS—Is it your opinion that the state you found her in was produced by drink ? Mr. Clark—No; I never saw a person with such symptoms produced by drink. Mr. Hostitss (to prisoner)—What have you to 6d , 6d• 3(1, sold in IV, 'Die Second Edition, price 41. 6d. SILVIO PELLICO'S NARRATIVE OF HIS TEN YEARS' IMPRISONMENT. " This book ought to be read by every Englishman."— Metropolitan Magazine. division. Mr. Sherlock stated that on Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, he heard his window smash, and on going into the street he found the prisoners, whom he knew, drunk, and he ascertained that the male prisoner had fallen against a pane of glass, which was broken. He gave them into custody, when they resisted and assaulted the officers. Mr. Sergeant SELLON —You say you knew where the defendants lived ? Mr. Sherlock—l did, your Worship. Mr. Sergeant SELLON (warmly)—Then you had no right to give them into custody. Mr. Sherlock—But he assaulted the officers, your Worship. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Perhaps so, after having been given in charge ; but you knew where they lived, and had your legal remedy. Mr. Sherlock—But there was a great crowd around my house, your Worship. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—But you charge them with having broken your window, and you had no right to lock them up, when, by your own account, you knew where to find them. Mr. ROGERS (addressing:Mr. Sergeant SELLON)— How would you like to have your windows broken by such an idle vagabond ? Mr. Sergeant SELLON-1 am not aware that he is an idle vagabond. Mr. ROGERS—But he is an idle and drunken fel low, going about breaking windows. Policeman—He was only discharged the same day from the House of Correction, for a similar offence. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—I still say that he had no right to give them in charge. But now people seem to think nothing of dragging persons to the station house, throwing them into a dark hole, locking them up for the night, and depriving them of their liberty without the least remorse. I say, again, that he was not justified in charging the defendants, be cause they, perhaps, broke his window accidentally, and when he knew them. Mr. ROGERS thought that the complainant ought to be paid for his window, and the parties punished for the assaults. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—They certainly ought not to have committed the assaults; but, be it remem bered, they were committed after being given into custody. Thomas Ellis, No. 103 G, and Andrews, 80 G, deposed that they were called upon to take the pri soners into custody, when they were resisted and assaulted in the execution of their duty. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said they had no right to take them into custody. They replied that there was a great assemblage of persons. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said the original charge was for breaking the window. Mr. ROGERS told the male prisoner that he should pay 24. 6d. for the window, and be fined 20s. for the assaults, or be committed for one month to the House of Correction, and he ordered the wife to find bag; end in default they were both committed. GEORGE OWEN, THE MONEY-EATER, AGAIN IN CUSTODY.—George Owen, who was discharged on Wednesday for want of evidence, being charged with having passed a counterfeit shilling at the shop of Mr. Clayton, baker, of Battle•bridge, and which he ultimately swallowed, was again brought up by Coulton, a constable of Battle-bridge, charged with having passed two separate counterfeit shillings. Coulton, who was present on Wednesday last when the prisoner was discharged through juggling the shilling, saw him on Thursday evening pursuing his avocations, when he followed him, and per ceived him enter two shops. On entering the lat ter, and being aware of the prisoner's talent and propensity for swallowing his Majesty's current coin, he watched him until he saw him lay down a shilling for a penny loaf. He immediately entered the shop, and, seizing the prisoner, ordered the owner of the shop to mark the shilling, and the prisoner was taken to the station-house, where his appetite seemed to long after the money in the officer's possession. There were several charges against the prisoner, who was fully committed for ial. 82, CHEAPSIDE.

The LORD MAYOR said that he did not see of what advantage an affidavit to the above effect could be either to Captain Gaylor or to the person who wished to make it. He (the Lord Mayor) had nothing to do with the accusation. He had no idea who had written the article, nor did he think that any affidavit had been made before him on the subject, for he was in the habit of looking minutely at affidavits before he signed them. A gentleman, however, had called upon him at the Old Bailey, and mentioned to him the strong parts of the accu- ale 3l * ads. 599 pli eaci l per 11 division. Black said it was impossible to discover him from the woman's description, but he would make an inquiry. The prosecutrix said she had since applied at the station-house for assistance, but without success. On the preceding day she called at Lambeth-street Office again, and the Magistrates told her to find out where the prisoner lived, and give her in charge to a policeman. Policeman, 2.59 K, said he met the prosecutrix, and at her request took the prisoner into custody. He searched her lodgings, but found nothing. Mr. BRODERIP said the witness had done his duty very well ; but he must say that it was most shame ful that the policeman who had been applied to should have neglected this case, which was of very serious moment to the poor woman. If the police when first applied to bad set about it the money would most probably have been recovered. The Lambeth•street Magistrates had already been con sulted on this case. The robbery occurred and the parties lived in their district, and he ordered the case to be taken before them. than sta , A satioa. The pilot said his own character was affected by the statement, and he was determined to pursue the writer by law proceedings. The LORD MAYOR said there was not the slightest imputation upon the complainant, and that if he chose to go to law he ought to be ready to pay all the costs. His Lordship was sure that the newspapers would have no objection to publish such a refutation of the case as the pilot just fur nished. The Notary said that the Downs pilot would soon wait upon his Lordship to testify to the falsehood of the accusation against the Captain, who had never used violence nor placed Mr. Mills in irons. The pilot made the most solemn protestations of the mild and kind demeanour of the Captain, %%ho had never prevented Mr. Mills from communicating with anybody. The LORD MAYOR—But Mr. Mills was not al lowed to communicate with the land after he was once on board. To the gentleman who called upon me I mentioned that I was sorry I could not assist him, as the vessel was out of my jurisdiction, and he expressed his intention of going off at once to the Mayor of Dover. The Pilot—The fact is, my Lord, Mr. Mills's father refused to pay the debts of his son, and said he was a worthless fellow ; and the Captain was responsible to the island from which the young man had escaped for bringing him back or paying his 5 0 4 6 20S. ads Die- r the iter , ; )( a, THAMES-POLICE. j of of A , ard COPY OF AFFIDAVIT.

Extract of a private letter from Plymouth, dated Dec. 2 :—My Dear --, We embarked on board his Majesty's steam-vessel Dee, on Monday, the 25th ultimo, and have had the most miserable dia. gusting scene on board that you can imagine. In the first place, though the steamer is a powerful one, and carries four 48-pound carronades, there was no accommodation for the troops, except on deck, and they were supplied with a blanket each, to weather it out as well as they could. There were also in the same situation about 40 women and 66 child ren. The first night went off very well, but the second day a tremendous gale comraencipd, which, for three days and nights, produced the most inde scribable misery amongst the poor wretches, and, after getting round the Land's End, we were nearly drifted into the Bristol Channel. The paddles were sometimes quite under water, and became al most useless, and we were obliged to return to the port we left, where we have just arrived. The men, women, and children, were almost dead from ex posure to wet and cold, their blankets and great coats being completely drenched and heavy. The women were placed in every corner that could be found on deck ; but when the weather became bad, and the decks were washed over by the sea, their situation was rendered wretched in deed. They were starved with wet, cold, and hunger; and but for the exertions of Capt. Stanley, who is a cousin of the Secretary of State, they would all have died, or been washed overboard. Nothing could equal his humanity and feeling in getting them into places of security, and afterwards in administering to their comforts in every possible way, to both which objects his attention was un remittingly exerted by night and day, whenever he could be spitted from the important duties of the ship. Captain Stanley gave up his cabin, one large room, and two small apartments, to the officers and their families. Only two embarked. Their situation, however, in consequence of the bad weather, was almost as bad as the rest, as Captain Stanley had the women, amounting to forty, and sixty-six children stowed into his own cabin, the gunners and midshipmen's berth, and, from the crowded state in which they were for three days and nights, and their lying one over the other, the effiuvia was horrible. The men were placed in the coal hole, in the engine rooms, and every place likely to afford them security, and they were nearly suffocated; two women miscarried, and there were two premature births, and one still-born. One sickly child, ten months old, died. Two sailors narrowly escaped suffocation; the circulation was not perceptible when they were discovered, and they must be sent to the naval hospital. When the men emerged from the coal-hole they were the most ludicrous objects, black as climbing sweeps. We were solely indebted to the exertions of Captain Stanley and the other officers of the ship for the lives of the women and children, and many of the men. Ido not know how to thank him for his kindness to us ; lie was only appointed to the ship too or three days before we came. We are ordered to go alongside the Genoa, 74, hulk, and disembark all the men, women, and children into it, and there remain until another opportunity occurs of going to Cork. The flooring of the paddleboxes and boiler is all carried away, and the engine requires exa mining before she can carry again. We expect a tremendous sick-list in a day or two, as many are already suffering from swelling of the joints and face. I expect every thing on board is ruined ; we can find nothing. [We have omitted the more disgusting details of the sufferings of the persons on board this crowded vessel. The voyage will form no pleasant reminis cence in the history of the 95th Rifle corps, who were the troops on board. It is often that the tragical and ludicrous are intermixed, and it was on this occasion, for no person can suppress a smile at hearing that there was a Clergyman on bo a rd, who had embarked fo r a trip of pleasure.] —English (!hroniele.

MARY LEB ONE. CHARGE OF ROBBERV.—EITRAORDINART IN VESTIGATION.— Walla in Brett, driver of the hackney coach, No. 923, was yesterday placed at the bar be fore the sitting Magistrate, Mr. HostoNs, charged on suspicion of stealing a gold chain set with ame thysts, one diamond ring, one emerald ring with diamond centre, and a cornelian brooch from the person of Mrs. Elizbeth Wood. No. 2, Claremont place, Judd-street, Brunswick-square. The prosecutrix (a dashingly-dressed female of extreme beauty, about twenty-five years of age) stated that on Tuesday night she went alone to Drury-lane Theatre, which, not feeling very well, she left at a quarter to eleven. On reaching the outer door she met a gentleman whom she k ass new, and who, on learning the state of her health, isted her into a hackney-coach, the driver of which was the prisoner, who was desired by her to drive to her residence. The gentleman then left her. On their way home she pulled the check-string, and desired the prisoner to draw up at the next public house, when he stopped at the corner of Leigh street, Burton -crescent, and on his alighting she put sixpence into his hand, telling him to get her a little drop of brandy in some cold water, as she felt ver y faint.jfiHe went in and got the liquor, which she say r Prisoner—The lady got into my coach, as she stated, near Drury-lane Theatre, and at her desire we stopped at the Hercules public-house, Great Queen-street, where we had sixpenny worth of rum and shrub, which I, at her request, paid for, she saying that she would return me the money when she got home. The next house we stopped at was the corner of Leigh -street, where we had two more quarterns of rum and shrub, which we had just finished when a gentleman came up to the coach door and entered into conversation with the prosecutrix. Thinking that they were ac quaintances I fell back, when the gentleman in a short time called to me, saying, " Here, coachman, here's a shilling; get the same as you have been drinking." He (prisoner) then procured another quartern, of which the prosecutrix partook. The gentleman then went away, and the prosecutrix having taken sixpennyworth of brandy and water he drove her home, when on opening the coach door she was found to be in the state described by the servant. He knew nothing at all of the rob bery. The prisoner further added, that on one occasion he drove the prosecutrix home from Drury lane, and on the following day returned _a pair of combs to her that she had left in his coach. Mr. HOSKINS (to prosecutrix)—You did not say any thing about your having stopped at the first public-house ? Prosecutrix—l have no recollection of any thing of the sort. I only stopped at the corner of Leigh -street, and drank but the brandy and water. Mr. Idosxms—How do you account for your clothes being so wet ? Prosecutrix—l imagine that he must have taken me to some house, and having plundered me, became alarmed at my state of insensibility, and threw some water over me, thinking that it might be the means of my partly reviving. Prisoner —I deny having done such a thing. I know nothing about the water. William Tuck, potboy to the Norfolk Arms, Leigh-street, deposed to the prisoner driving up to the door, and having three quarterns of rum and shrub and a glass of brandy and water, which wit ness took to the coach, in which was a lady. lie saw no gentleman come up or near the spot, but just at the moment the coach drove off he heard the lady exclaim, " Oh, dear me !" and saw her fall back on the seat. Police constable E SI said he took the prisoner into custody on Thursday evening, but could find no property in his possession. The prisoner was then remanded till Thursday next, it being intimated that if he could in the meantime find bail, himself in 501. and two sureties in 251. each, it wo QU uld be taken. EEN- S U ARE. CAUTION TO THE DRIV_:RS OF OMNIBUSES AND OTHER VEHlCLES.—Considerable interest was ex cited amongst the proprietors of omnibuses, coaches, &c., in consequence of the police constables having adopted a new method to prevent the obstruction of omnibuses and other vehicles in the King's high way, which it appears they are empowered to do by the Act of Parliament, if they think proper, without either taking out a summons or a warrant for the apprehension of the offender. Thomas Hooper, the driver of a Hammersmith omnibus, was charged by Police Sergeant Thatcher, of the B division, No. 17, under the Act of Parlia ment of the 3d William IV., cap. 19, sec. 24, with obstructing the highway, and refusing to move his omnibus when desired to do so. It appeared from the sergeant's statement, that about five o'clock on the previous evening he saw the defendant, with his omnibus, standing opposite to Mr. Harv e y' s door, Lowndes'-terrace, Knights bridge. He was on his wrong side of the way, and witness desired him to go on. After some persua sion, he did go on for a few vard4, but refused to go any further. Witness, finding him obstinate, and determined to obstruct the road, took him into custody. During the time, the defendant cut hint several blows with his whip. Several other policemen confirmed the above .ty referred to : statement.

The defendant denied that he was obstructing the highway, and said that if he struck the constable it was unintentional. Mr. GREGORIE said that the charge appeared to him to be clearly proved, and he saw no reason to mitigate the penalty. The defendant would there- A DESPERATE VIRAGO. Margaret Nicholls, a woman of very abandoned character and habits, was brought before Mr. BRODICRIP and Mr. COMBE, charged with committing a most violent assault on Catherine Harvey, an elderly female, who keeps a fish•srall in Ratcliff-highway. It appeared in evidence that on Monday last the complainant and a boy had been to Billingsgate to purchase some fill), and on their return went into the Duke of York public-house in Shadwell High street, to obtain some refreshment; and while Har vey was drinking out of a pint of beer, the prisoner, without any provocation, struck the bottom of the pot with great force, and the edge of it caught her eye and cut it open. The blood flowed profusely from the wound, and before the poor woman could recover herself from the first attack she was again struck over the eye with a pot, which rendered her senseless. As soon as she recovered she went into the street, and requested a policeman to go into the house and take the prisoner into custody, but he said his duty did not allow him to do that, and ad vised her to obtain a warrant. Witnesses proved the assault to be quite unpro voked, and that the woman's eye was so severe]} cut, and she bled so profusely, that it was not expected she would recover. The complainant appeared with her bead tied up, and said she could not see out of her eye, and she was afraid the sight was gone for ever. John Barton, a policeman, No. 40 K, said the woman came out of the public-house with her eye cut open, and streaming with blood. She was in a most deplorable state, but 'his instructions wool,' not allow him to enter the public-house. Mr. BRODERIP—Do you mean to say that when you see a woman come out of a public-bouee in the INTERESTING ANTIQUITY.—A few days since, a gentleman of thia town, while out shooting, chanced to rest under a clump of venerable fir trees on a lofty hill, about a mile and a half to the east of Shurding ton. He observed that the trees were planted on a raised mound resembling the tumuli known on Salisbury Plain by the name of " harrows." On the highest point, which is the centre of the mound, be remarked a large flit stone, nine or ten feet in length, and about four feet in breadth, with one end imbedded in the earth, and the other raised on a broad, upright atone, about three feet from the ground. The form and time-worn appearance of these stones struck him as remarkable, and seeing an old labouring man in an adjoining field, he asked him whether he knew for what purpose the stones had been placed there ? The old man replied, that he remembered, when a boy, having heard a curious story about the stones, which was then commonly related by old people in the neighbourhood. It was, that a great many years ago there were other stones of the same kind art up in a square form, with a large flat one at the top, the side stones being much earthed up on each side. Some people who were curious removed the flat stone, and, in the square, hollow place beneath it, they found bones, which had been the skeleton of a man, in an iron chair. The gentleman to whom the old man told his tale, though he deemed it extraordinary, if not fabulous, then inquired if his informant knew what had become of the iron chair The labourer replied, he rememtered being told it was token to Coberley church.—Perhaps some of our readers, versed in antiquities, can throw a further light on this not uninteresting local tradition.--Cheltenham Journal.
