THREATENING TO KlLL—George Forsey, who has
on several occasions figured as defendant at the
police office, on Tuesday appeared before the Beneh
in an-appetite-capacity; having ennrcnonett 'Kingman
Cook with threatening to kill him. ldr. Jloward
appeared for the'defendant. Both _partieg are cab
drivers, and it appeared that they had for a long
time past verified the adage sheet " two of • trade."
The complainant's statement was not supported by
'evidence, , whereas the defendant called Witnesses to
prove that the true version of the had not been
given by Forney. The consequence was the
summons wee dismissed.

OLD WORKHOUSE INMATES. —Hannah Pavey was
summoneclby Fanny Collins for assault and using
threatening language towards her. The parties live
at the Old Workhouse, and are evidently neither of
the best of tempers, nor on the best of terms with
each other. —Mrs. Collins felt bound, she said, to
clime there to vindicate her character against Mrs.
Pavey's aspersions, that lady having told: her, (coat-
plainaut'e husband), that she was two intimate with
Mr. Lundie's carter. She therefore went to Mrs.
Pavey to ask her what she meant by what ehe told
her husband, when Mrs. Pavey told her "To honour
and obey her parents." This was not all a satisfac-
tory reply, and some very ugly words are stated to
have followe& bat which we do not feel it necessary
to repeat. —Mrs, Pavey denied she had said Mrs.
Collins stab • She only said she saw her talk.
lag to Lundie's carter, "like as if they were court•
ine. which witness thought was " nodecent in a
married 'oomen."—The Bench consideeed defendant
had used words calculated to create • breach of the
peace, and as the complainant was afraid of her, de-
fendant must find. a surety to keep the peace. —De-
!cadent said if she .was" bound down" Mrs. Collins
must be "bound down too," or she would not be
able to live.—The Bench did not consider this was at
all 'necessary. Defendant's husband was then held to
bail in the sum of £lO for his wife's future good
conduct.
BROPLITTING.—Ann Thompson MIS charged before
the Weymouth Bensli on Tuesday with two eases of
shoplifting. The first osse that came under examination
was that of stealing a shawl and sulk dress of Mr. T.

Superuitendent Lidbury, on liar being brought to the
station, informed her that she was charged with stealing
a silk dress and silk shawl from the shop of Mr.
William,— Ha asked her to take her shawl off. She
hesitated and wished to Ms home, but he insisted, and
when she had taken off her shawl he found under her
arm two piece; of,silk, and in her pocket war half a roll
of ribbon. The silk shawl and dress which she had on La
now produced. Mr. T. H. Williams said he had seen
the prisoner MI his shop on two occasions. The first
was five weeks ago. After she had left he missed a
shawl, but coal not tell who bad taken it.
Three weeks ago last Monday she came
to his shop again, arid asked to look at some
dresses. She said she was a servant to a lady at
N 0.5 in the Terme, She visited te Mke the dresabs
with her, but as he did net like to let them go, she
askad bias to lay certain of them by en the eounter
which she had selected—and laid she would bring her
umisle,tooekstshcsn. She dicL not returo, an he
had slide iscerMined that no lady of the name she
stated lived at /go. ' 5 in. the Terrace. The next
morning he fEEDRI that one of the dresses that be had
laid aside wad misa3lm. ITS afterwardi saw the prisoner
in the street wearing the shawl he had lost, and he
accordingly gave information to the police. The shawl
produftd, and also the dress be had het from the shop.
He knew the dress Rein the silk being of two
different shades, and he had no other dress like it
in the shop. In reply to questions from the
Beath, witneae said that the dress was not made up
when he lost it It was a hngth of 13 yards. It was
worth £2 9a, and the shawl 21r. There might be other
dressed in the town like it, Mit he struld hardly supplest
It was He did not suppose that that dress was he
only one of the kind lie had made.' There ,erak 'no
private mark on either of the Midis.' The
prisoner having been committed on this •charge,
second one . was preferred against her for
having stolen two pieces of silk and 18 yards of
ribb3a, the ptsip•trt7 of Mr. Galant, draper, Bt. Alban's
Row. It appeared that the
,prisoner went into that
shop ,on Friday evening Abet 8 o'clock, and after
purchasing a trifling 'avtlisle, asked to look at some
dresses. The young woman serving her was sailed away
two or three times, and at length the prisoner, who was
thickly veiled, and who was supposed by the shop woman
bealorisigner, left the shop saying that she did not
know the quantity remtired for a dress, and that she
would return and bring her maid. Before the young
woman had placed back the dresses she had shown the
prisoner, she was sent, for to the police station sad
identified the articles with which the prisoner was
charged With stealing. Prisoner, who was committed
on this charge also, came, we understand, to Weymouth
front York a short time since as cook in a gentleman's
family. She left and was at the Albert Hotel a Very
short time, since which the has been lodging at the
house of Mrs. Tripe.

A COUPLI or XarrlrrEra. • -lihry Ann Willis was
on Tuesday -hat summoned befere the borough magis-
trates, charged with using threatening language towerds
Elisabeth Denman. From the statement of the com-
plainant, !t appeared that the green-eyed monster—
jealonsy—had entwined himself round the heart of the
defendant, and that ehemeesed her (the complainant),
with being on tee fentilier, tones with her husband, and
told her that if she• wtonted a min 'she would have a
young,one, if she were in her place, and not a grey.

She lied a husband at sea, and what a dreadful
thing 'twould be if he should come home and beer what
was sail about her. Defendant persisted that she had
'oominitted no offence, as she only called her
"stockings." The Bench asked defendant's husband if
he would he bound over for his wife's future good
conduct. Willie replied that lie certainly would not.
Defendent : "I'll be bound myself, gentlemen," The
Bench thought that defendant ought not to be sent to
gaol, and she would be discharged with paying 2.5. mat&
Defendant: "I've no money, gentlemen. That woman
there takes my husband away, and he carries dr** into
her." 'the h usbandi springing forward, said, Ilpa,y it
