Tan cases of " BALL• r. and;" Alain
r. BlAtIA11," which have lightened our "Law
" Intelligence" within the last few days, tall their
own tale, and, for aught we can discover, point no
moral. Omnibus conductors are a mysterious order
of beings, and may easily include a "fancy man"
or two, and even an occasional wetter of a teal
diamond ring. Most men have some besetting
weakness or " idea," for which they are ready to
fight and fall ; now the idea for which Mr.
E►H•AIM Batts fought and fell was the idea
that he was a gay deceiver—an irresistible
seducer ; and this is how, se soon as he came into
a little money, he bethought himself of the ways and
means of conquest, and with an eye to long-range
practice bought a diamond ring, to Hash triumphantly
upon the optic nerves of his female "fares," and even
to strike with envious awe the fashionable world in
carriages as he twirled his hand disdainfully in the
direction of the Bank. The apogee of this brilliant
Conductor's successes was the conquest of Mrs.
Azalea, • lady with a bow of many
strings, but whose virtue, or rather whose
sins of propriety, wen still sufficiently exigent to
require that the last comer should take refuge in the
cupboard, or in some still more uncomfortable and
undignified retreat. This sensitiveness on the part of
Mrs. ARCHER completely won the heart of the Con-
doctor, and, with his heart, his diounond ring. It was
not until Mr. Batts suddenly became aware olds,
flagrant perils of his situation, and found himself face
to face with the seventh commandment, with • legi-
timate Mr. ARCHER in the background, that he asked
the erring lady to give him back his ring, which she
had already deposited " for a consideration," and, on
her hesitation, applied to no less • person than
her husband, who with a fine sense of
honour paid a Nam into court for the
redemption—not of the ring, but of his wife who
had pledged it. If Mr. Bau.a declined to be con-
tret with this paltry satisfaction we need not regret
that he was sent Tingles', and moneyless, and
laughed, oat of court.

The cue of MICHLR v. Saunas is sa appropriate
sequel to Braze r. Awns. Bat to generalise on
suck a jack nips ss Mr. ARCM., the husband, and
to argue as if the peer bird had its /whiten even at
the top of the Haymarket, would be as silly as to
deny to the LOUIS BRAHMA species • useful function
in society. Is it not in troth a wise provision
of nature by which young men of weak brain and
low habits, with money in their puree, who many
from the Blue Poste, and take home their wives'
friends to supper from a night-house, are accus-
tomed to meet aith a kind friend in the shape of •
L01:14 liaxuist, who reduces them by a gentle pro-
cess of suction to their primitive skin and bone ? In
great cities, where there must needs be Mr.
Mullen", the mission of a Loots BiLAHAII may
be regarded aa providential. We trust our country
friends who have come up to the Cattle Show this
week have met with no short-horns of the Loots
Bun to breed in their searches after life in the rank
pastures of Piccadilly Cirrus.
Bat is snot Lout Ba.tnevs and their noon_
plisse, or their victims, that good society used be
msheesed. They are diseases, it is true, noisome and
pestilential, but not mortal. The mortal diseases of
esenty are those over which the strong but tender
heart of the AnnioTair JI:TW.E could hardly rends
from weeping at the Middlesex Session on Tuesday.
There wane poor widow woman brought up for trial for
steeling ribbon and silk braid. She had been in priest
three weeks, and was now on her trials" a shoplifter.
She pleaded guilty. The respectable firm who pre-
seemed her had known her as • customer for years,
and had no doubt that atm was really a hardworking
woman who had struggled hard for • liviog. It
her defence it appeared that she was a widow ens

poor prsoner had lodged for eleven years came for-
ward to bear witness in her behalf. And what welt
