AN lIITORTUNATII Barrow—On Wednesday T. Kdridge,
the son of a lady of property, in the vicinity of Vauxhall, was
charged with threatening to shoot a young woman named
Mary Ann Dalton. The complainant deposed that she was
in the service of the defendant's mother, and for the last
twelve months she had been subjected to the greatest pos-
sible annoyance by the importunities of the defendant, who
wanted her to marry him. She frequently told him she
would have nothing to do with him, and he latterly made
use of several threats to shoot her, and being apprehensive
that he would carry his threats into execution, she was
obliged to apply to the present mode of restraining him.
The defendant, a dingy and singular locking person, ad-
mitted that he bad made proposals of marriage to the com-
plainant, and he believed from her extreme kindness and
attention to his mother she would make a kind and good
wife to him, and denied that he meant her any serious
mischief.
' Cook, the gaoler, here said that the defendant had been
for years, from his drunken habits, a great annoyance to the
other members of his family, who were highly respectable.
The complainant said, that all she requested was to be pro-
tected from hie importunities and violence, and the defen-
dant was ordered to Sod good ball.
