A MONOMANIAC AT THE POLICE COURT.--yesterday'
whilst Mr. Smith, one of the borough magistrates, was en-
gaged in. the business of the Police Court, an old lady, whose
eccentric manner caused much excitement, made her appear'
ante in Court, and, addressing the magistrate, said she came
to complain; that in the neighbourhood of the gas-house the
poor were not allowed to keep. pigs. This she thought 3
great hardship on the poor, who, she begged to say, laved
bacon just as well as their worships. She said that she ap-
peared there on- public grounds, to complain of what she
considered as a_ public grievance. Mr. Smith, the magi'
strate, said, " Kadam, you have brought your pigs to the
wrong market. I have no doubt but that you are a whole"
hog humanitarian, but in sanitary affairs you must apply at
the Town-lla11."

SCENE IN A CHRISTIAN COI:INTIM—Passing along
• St. Anne-street, about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, our

been carrying a shell, in 'which were the remains of ono 13'
her children, aged from 12 to 13 years. The poor woman
had placed the coffin on the church wall, to rest her wearieu.
frame. Whilst there, she was surrounded by a crowd of
persons, who looked on with cool indifference to her mental
and bodily anguish. Amongst those who had assembled;
we noticed a gentleman, who sported a yard and a half. of
white muslin in the shape of a neck tie, a cane, black:
,1
jet, and a profusion of sable coloured cloth. Ile enquirel
what was the matter, and having ascertained, he turn
eT
coolly on his heel and left the spot, without uttering a word
of consolation, or bestowing a fraction on the affiiete
woman, who, true to her trust, again took the coffin on her
back, and proceeded to discharge the duties of her last
office, with the bones of her child rattling against the shel",'
as she walked through the streets ! We wished we knew the
name of the rev. (?) gentleman.
