A hearty-looklag man, beginOn 30 and 40 years of age,
applied to the asegistrate or the following cir-
eametheose :
Applicant said that bra/desirous of emipating with his
wife to Auckland, New Zealand, sod eealnß ea adveriee-
meat in the newspaper airing facilities to poor prams
for that purpose, he applied to Mem% Monism and Gra-
ham, as directed, sad having emptied with the meal forms
paid 41. for the parse. He had left his employmest in
the country in order to make the seersary preps/Mims foe
Lori/1g &dead, bat sow found that he had wryproba-
bility of losing the money he had paid, as ha was informed
that that was for his own parage only, and not for his
wife's for whom a further aura wee demanded. He could
not lyre her behind him, end was at a lam to know what to
do. He had bees to Mors. Hold's, the shipping sesta,
and found that 31. or 41. mere was abed for his wife.
Applicant produced a number of he had reoeived
upon the subject of going out, and said he had sent the
contract Wirt and complied with all the seem cry forms.
Mr. Suite, on examining the papers, said that it was
quite deer by the whole of them that the seer had °sly
supposed applicant himself wanted to go oat. They clearly
stated that, and It seemed, when subsequitatly informed
that he was desirous of taking his wife with ham, they
had writhes to inquire the necarary particular, which
would show that they Ind not hem amarated with them
before.
Applicant said that in his original applioation paper it
would be found that he bad stated that he wished to take
hie wife with him. He had told the manta, when be fried
mom money was required, that be had no mesas of raising
it ; tor had be except by disposing of sours of the articles
they required to take oat with them • sad it would hes
omens for to him to have to forfeit Ls 41., which be un-
derstood would be the ease.
Mr. Belie said he did sot for a moment think that he
would to required to forfeit therarrey, or he had evidently
acted under some mistakes impression. The roost of taking
out en emigrant to Auckland was 371., and he could hardly
ham imagined that be and his wife could both have hem
taken out for so small a rum sa 41.
Applicant said he did not think of that ; be was un-
acquainted with the oast, sad he was to work and pay hie
parse out when be got there.
la reply to further emotions from the magistrate, sp-
plirat
said be was a miner, and had of late years bees
employed by differeet builders se a Wanner la town aid
ematry, to whom he scald refer. He had two brothers
settled at Auckland, who were doing very well there, and
it wen at their arratatica that he and his wife were going
out,
Mr. Halle repeated he car quite sure the awe., he had
already paid would not berme forfeited emu if he could
not restrive to rise the additional required amount, sa there
had evidently been a mistake, end it was never intended to
grant a menage for more than himself.
The worthy magistrate then, after some further rionver-
satlon, informed the applicant that if he would bring kiln
way artifice,* of good character he would give him • err
reign towards the payment out of the poor box.
LAMBETH.
&a ye Warmitame, the driver of one of her Majesty's die.
trim Basil ear* surrendered to his bail for Seal examination;
before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of berg drunk sad incapable
of taking Dare of 11is hone and vehicle, sad also with run-
=Lead injuring Mr. Erhard Croxfori, a respectable
_ . . .

Poliaccoariable 76 P said that on Bozieg musing he saw
the prisoner driving a mail cart is the Brixton-road, sad,
being drunk at the time, he drove on to the pavement. Bo-
hm that he drove over Mr. Croxford, and so severely injured
him that be was unable to attend the next day, and upon
that charge, es well as for being drunk, he took the prisoner
into custody and locked hi up.
George Smith said he *se with Mr. Croaford at the
time, and they were both going across the road whet the
prisoner drove along very fast. He gave no mottos what-
ever of his coming, drove against Mr. 41Voxford, knocked him
down, and the cart went over him. His arm, foot, and
thigh seemed much Mined.
Mr. Richard Oroxford, who attended to-day for the bet
time, said that on Boxing night he was coming from Brix-
ton-hill, in company with the last witness, sod while
erasing the road he felts blow from behind, sad was la.
squatty knocked down. and recollected no more about IL
He was, however, a good deal injured, bat for this be bad
received compensation, and did not, therefore, wish to
press say charge against the prisoner.
mThe prisoner pleaded guilty to having taken "too
uch," sad
Mr. Elliott remarked that though the prisoner bad made
compeesation to Mr. Crashed, seek reckless and improper
conduct as his could not be paned over, and therefore he
must pay a penally of 40e., or 20 days.
THAMES.
Ann Murray, a tall and powerful Irishwomen, who is
one of the most audacious and disorderly of the Ratcliff-
highway women,was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
assaulting and wounding Amron Amis. a master mariner.
The complainant, who had • surgioal plaster on his left
r id be was peariag Highutreet, Shadwell, on
Tuesday morale& and saw a cluster of peruses on the foot-
path, and hauled of fate the road to avoid them, when the
prisoner, without saying • word, and without the semblance
of provocation, struck him a violent blow on the eye, which
staggered him. A serious wound was ioilieted, and
M bled profusely. He produced his handkirobief stained
with blood. A yeses man who was with him made mine
rentarke on the prieoaer's savage °Deduct, sod the prisoner
struck him in the same manner and wounded him.
Mr. Paget—Where is be ?
Witness—He has gene to a shipping office to be paid off
this morale& He signed the thane sheet.
PoliMooestable Pie, No. 87 K, said he arrested the
wiemer, who bad be quarrelling with a man whom she
amused •f striking bar on the mouth, and who ran sway.
The prisoner said in her defence that the complainant
struck her on the mouth, and she hit him in return.
The complainant mid that he offered no violence to the
prisoner ; he never toothed est spoke to bar. His heeds
were in his pockets, and she was quite a Amager to him.
He really believed be wee struck with • key or sharp te-
st:moot.
Mr. Paget said be could not take the other ease of earwig
into oonaiderstam, because the person injured was not
preeent, but if be liked to attend and apply for a summon'
be could have one. The primer had committed a savage
and unprovoked assault on a respectable man quietly pass-
ing along the streets. It was neosseary to protect quiet
and decent persons from such characters as the prisoner.
He sentenced her to one month's imprisonment end hard
labour.
WANDSWORTH.
Mr. A. Taylor, the chief clerk, brought under the notice
at Marigham an unfortunate clue of distress. He stated that
a woman who was committed from that court on a
of stabbing so Irish labourer named James Condon clinarX
eye with a shawl pin, was tried at the ionises end animas&
to eighteen months' imprisonment. The poor man had the
sight only of one eye at the time, but the stabbing of the
other unfortunately deprived him altogether of his vision.
The oousequenoes of the calamity were that be had been
unable to resume his employment, and be had been
in an ill state of health ever sines. His daughter had been
obliged to give up her situation to wait upon him, and they
were now in very great distress.
Mr. high= sympathised with the unfortunate man's
condition, and mid he should like to do something for the
family of a permanent character.
Mr. Taylor said be had suggested the purchasing of •
small laundry, when perhaps they would be able to obtain
the sympathy of the inhabitants in the neighbourhood to
employ them. He asked the wife whether she had say
friends in the neighbourhood who could raise a subscription
for her.
The wife, • very areditable.looking Irishwoman, here
risme forward, and said she had no friends who could assist
her.
Ia answer to questions by Mr. Ingham,
Payne, one of the officers of the court, said be had made
*miss about the man and his family, and be found them
very respectable persons. The nun was very ill, sod there
' was a deaf and dumb child to suppart The family were in
peat distress, and they were pledging their things.
' The wife said even to the clock off the wall. All they
had to live upon was what she *mead by working, with •
little relief from the parish.
Mr. Ingham mid he would redeem their things for them,
bat in their present state they would be taken out only to
be pledged agsio. Be wee afraid it was • hopeless ass to
obtain anything of a permanent ohsreeter for them. He,
however, allowed hoc • sovereign from the poor-box.

quite incredulous that each aa awful drama was being en-

Body after body, shirk, stiff, yet warm, mos drawn from
out the writhing mar, and conveyed into the ball, which
by tine noshed bees cleared, and there laid out is each
plan as wen most available for the purpose. Medical
MIIIIILOCO was at once art for, and Dr. Smith was the err
profeenooal moo who reached the spot. Be rates that
when he arrived, about loalfloast seven o'clock, the stair was
in • frightful condition, about seventy people, so afar as
be could miliniata, lying packed or shoe-, the other. The
fur body to which hie attention was called wee that of
young man lying sear the door, all die :cleared, bat quite
dead ; and seer it were about • doses bodies, all dead,
sad presenting the same appearances ot having been
suffocated. Close to the entrance to the lobby
were the bodies ol two young girls, aged about
fourteen or sixteen
_yens, lying is each other's
arms, and both quite dead. In • room to the west side of
the lobby were four bodies, which bad bee. deposited there
after being removed from the an in which they had been
suffocated. He toned that nothing could be done towards
the relief of the sulfeeers, except in the case of several per-
ilous who bad bees rescued with life, but who ware meth
exhausted. To these every attention was paid by Dr. Smith,
as well as by the other medical pities's., who eon came
to the place, and among whom were Drs. Gibsoo, Lang-
lands, Cowper, and Bragg. The bodies, es being removed
from the place where the accident weaned, where laid out
on the floor of the ball, and in several of the rooms Adjoin-
ir.g. The scene on entering the hall at this time was
of the meet painful desorption. On • bench in the
entrance lobby were seated two young lads who
had been throw, down in the crush, but who had
forturtely reaped with life. Their livid, swami free
and the dull, vacant stare in their eyes, however, showed
that they had had a narrow reaps, ad that if they had not
received timely assistance, their nausea would also have
had to be added to the list of the dead. In the 'mall room
at the back of the entrance lobby were laid three or four
bodies, mostly those of young gob, who bad her premed
Is death in the crush, and whose tattered arineiros and
disordered attire showed the fearful chararer of the
struggle that had taken place. Eateries the ball, the brit
abject that attained attention was the dead body of a
shout man, lying oa the floor, the mouth wide open, and the
Panne rigid, as if the poor fellow had expired in the spay
of eadeavouring to get free from the living loam
which lay above him. Along Use back of the hall,
oa the floor, were ringed other bodies, both of mew
aid women, all bearing the appearance of having been
@why:lard. Ott a raised bench at the seat sod of the
ball was the body of • boy apparently about Shiner
years of see, quite eold and stiff, but who looked as if
he had fallen asleep, and showed so mike of having
an a violent death. In the lower dressing-room at the
earth side of the had, were the bodies of two young
&la, evidently these which Dr. Smith meationd as
having been elasped ia each other's arms ; while in as
inner room was a young led, who, though considerably
exhausted by the pressure which be bad sustained, was
able to state that his name was Peter Mann Dyer's Pen,
opposite Sessiosoreet, and he afterwards recovered so far
es
to be able to be cosveysd home. In a small room up-
stairs, occupied by the ball keeper, the most affecting light el
all perhaps was presented. On the floor in frost el the fire
were laid out four bodies of young lads or girls, all
quite deed, and much discoloured and &sunned ; sad
near the door was a young girl who screamed in 6s nooks
of suffocation, while kind kends were engaged in bathing
her temples and rubbing various parte of bee body is order
to induce circulation. We are glad to say that in this ta-
ster* the efforts made for the recovery of the parer were
succesefal, and that the poor girl was moveyed boats in the
coarse of the evening. In all, no fewer than nineties deed
bodies were laid out at on time in the hall and adjoining
apartments.
Besides these a young lad named Holland, who bad bees
removed by the front entrance, was placed in a cab while
yet alive sod named to the infirmary, but before that
place could be rescind he had expired. When the body
was taken into the infirmary the galvanic battery was ap-
plied by the medical men there, but with Do effect, as life
was found to be quite extinct. There are thus twenty lives
in all ascertained to be lost.
The news that such an snidest had occurred, attended
with • lon of life so deplorable, soon spread through the
town, and mused the meet intense excitement, Prom the
feat that the night was that of the chief holiday in the year,
when most young people are absent from boon and in
search of enjoyment, the uncertainty that prevailed as to
who bad formed part of the ill-fated crowd caused the meet
painful feeling is many families, and bugs numbers of
anxious friends and parents soon crowded the streets in the
vicinity of the hall, meetly desiring information as to the
eaters and extent of the accident. Those who stated that
they believed they had friends among the dead were
admitted to the hall, and allowed to see the
bodies, and in this way many of the. beam
were soon identified, and authority was per dee
their removal. The Metrification of the bodies ma •
spectacle of the most heartrending d..,. se. Ott par
woman, Mn. 11'Swiney found that she bed ben ben
husband and son, and ier expressions if grief wen men
poignant, and went to the besets of all who were pesent.
Others, ou recogniske their loot friends in the seep=
which lay before them, berme quite hysterics', sad relned
to be comforted. One boy who bad canned adminn to
the hall went up to the ball.keepees roue, when Nat
bodies were lying on the floor, and caries his eyes ist rase
of them, which proved to be that of Campbell, bent wad
crying, and exclaimed, " Oh, I ken that Wdis I" He mid
Campbell were close soottaintsen, sad bad some to the
hall together that night. Taking sooner glans ei the
body, sod not being quite sure of the Heathy et
be told those who were looking oa Ss sanda no
pockets of his friend, and me if there was a aim
scarf in them, as he had purebred or that evening. A.
bystander did so, and drew out a Sae nth scarf, which seen.
plotted the proof that was necessary for the instant= et
the poor boy. By eleven o'clock mart of the bodies bad
bees identified and removed by their freaks, bet live wine
hadnot been recognised up to that time were token te the
deadboose. Shortly after the boar bad bees laid them
