Peargrusr. PiNSIONS.—The following is the text of
the peak° recently forwarded from Poole to Mr.
Br sdlaugh for presentation to the House of Commons.,
supporting • m..ti 'a of e .quiry, of which the honour-
able member gave notice last session, into the question
of Per; otos' Pensions :
"To the llonorahle t.le Gunmen, of Great Britain and
Irelan lie Parliatnent assembled.

" Toe humble petition of the undersigned sheweth that
thera are several perpetual penal ins of I.Na amount now
eh •ri-d neon She Co-isolblat-d Fund anou ally voted
by your H ii.oi able 1t0,,,. That slimc of the nerd st semi
winoons bore la en p •id for the pact SOO veers. That in
some mars the origin of such said several pen,i O. ha.
been entirely noc-nnected with any benefit or service to
the nation. Teat in every such instance of perpetual
pension the amount already paid Lai far exceed.d the
value of any eervice alleged to have been renderel to the
nation by the original grantie. That in Nome case, the
conduct of the orirn iigrantee of such pensions has been
the revere.' of marl ioriou. and the original grants of such
prltil`o4ll .re utterly indefensible on ray ground of public
pubes. Your petitioners theratore pray that your Honor-
able H..use wilt dir..ct careful enquiry to be made into the
cr oilu.l mem of the original gran t of all pirpatual pensions
LEM paid, and -le-her or not lug h pensions are charged on
the Ganallidst Fond, and also es to Ins circumstances
under which net Is it sorb pensiont is now paid, and by
whom and why each of such pinsions has been received
from the date of the original groat (when the recipients of
any of such pensiotli are not the direct beim of the bodies
of the original grantee.), and that your Honorable House
ari'.l, who.° necesmry, r. peal any statute and will cease to
VW env :cite under which suoti pensions are respectively
payable."
A PENSIONER IN TROUBLL Messrs. Militia and
Farmer were the pr..eirling magistrates at the Police.
court on Tuewlay, when Henry Tubbs, a pensioner, of
Chalbury Common, was brought up in custody charged
with having been druok and disorderly, and &moulting
the police, on the previous eveuing.—P.C. John H-roe,
about half-past 11 ou Monday night, was no duty in
that aristocratic quo r er, known as Borbers' Piles, and
bearing someone at the bottom of one of the gardens,
went to see who it was. He found it was the prisoner
whom some time prey i 'ugly be bad met in the town
and directed to Wimb 'me. He told him to clear our,
or be should make him. Prisoner told the con-
stable he didn't think he could do that, and "flew" at
him. They struggled, and had several ups and downs,
during which the man struck the constable four or five
blows. Horne, finding he could not master the fellow,
blew his whistle. P.C. Ballett came to his assistance,
and an onlooker, having in the meanwhile fetched the
handcuffs, the police treated him to what Horne said
"We call the Rogue.' March."—P.C. Ballett was
called in support of this statement, and he concurred
with his brother officer, that the prisoner was very
violent, and that they had great difficulty in getting
him to the station. He was very drunk. No money
WY found on him—Prisoner had nothing to gay in
his defence. He admitted he WI, drunk and knew
nothing about it. He had come to Poole for his
reserve pay, and by some mum lost two half-
sovereigns.—For being drunk and disorderly, he was
fined ss. and costs, or seven dap, and for the assault
on the police, 10t. and costs, or 14 day.; in iii, 245.
He was locked up in default of payment.
