A DANCING House.—Mr Antonio J. Tysn, the pro-
prietor of a large dancing saloon, in Great Richmond-
street, was summoned by Inspectors Duggan and White,
under the following circumstances Mr. Snowball
appeared for the defer 'ant. Inspector D ,ggan said, Mr.
Tyan keeps a " hop" in Great Richmond-street. Mr
Snowbell: It is not a " hop," sir, and I wish yon would
call things by their proper name—this is done for the
purpose 4 f prejudicing the defendant in the eyes of the
bench ;it is not a hop, but a respectable dancing room.
Inspector Duggan : Mr. Tyan keeps a dancing room in
Great Richmond-street ; on the 20. h October, I went there
along with Inspector White, at half-past eleven o'clock at
night, and saw twenty five prostitutes, and thirty-seven
men in the room, and I reported it. I cautioned him the
night before Mr. Snowball : Were they all sober ? Yes,
air. Were they acting improperly ? No, sir. Then you
saw no one drunk, no improper conduct, nor nothing wrone
of any description. ? I did not, sir. Mr. Crosthwaite
What sort of house is this ? It is a dancing house, air.
A'derman Helme : It's a lrge room, eighty feet long—ae
bg as this court. Mr. Ewart : Was there any drink there?
Inspector Duggan : No, sir, there is no drink sold in the
place ; t' ere is a room 1:..low stairs where ginger beer an-I
British wines are sold, but nothing else. Mr. Snowball :
There is no refreshment sold in the ro nu? No, there is
nothing done in the room but dancing. Mr. Snowball :
And that respectably ? Yes. Inspector White corrob.
orated the evidence of Inspector Duggan. Mr. Saowbell :
Is that the case ? Yes, that's the complaint. Mr.
Snowball said the summons did not come within the
meaning or the let er of the Act of Parliament. He then
read the 251st section of the act and cmtendei that there
was not a word in the summons nor the evidence to bring
the cas • under the act, which it.flietcd a penalty of £5.
He would ask where were these women to go ? Would it
not be far batter to have them in a well-conducted house,
as the officer stated this house to be, than out in the
be excluded from such houses ; Alas, were not excluded
from entering any tavern or inn to procure refreshments ;
they could enter into the refreshment roem at any railway
station and get whet they wanted. They could sit in a
carriage with any ore in the land, and it was not a prose-
cution, but a persecution, to proceed as in this instance.
Besides, how was his client to know what sort of persons
these female; were? They did n thing improper in
the room, and he contended that the case ought to be
dismissed Mr. Ewart: Suppose they went to the Con-
cert Hall? Mr. Snowball: I would advise them to go to
the Concert Hall on Saturday night, as they have a
perfect right to do so, or to St. George's Hall, or any other
place in town, as long as they conduct themselves properly,
as they de in my client's dancing saloon. In reply to Mr.
Ewart, Inspector Duggan said this house was the same as
the two honey in Newington, and these were not com-
plained of Mr. Crosthwaite said they would only fine
the defendant ss.

AN IMPUDENT ROBBRT —Joseph Parkinson, a navvie,

with stealing a coat and a two foot rule, the property of
Robert Buckley. The offence was committed in the house
lately occupied by Mr. Styin, upholsterer and cabinet
maker, in Chester Street. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on the
morning in question the prisoner came up to the house
from Woodside, and after looking about for a short time,
was seen to enter the shop, and in 6 or 7 minu'es after-
wards was seen by a labourer named John
MuTenna, to return by the same way with a coat
on his back, which he (MeTenna) had not observed
when he entered. Observing this, and without saying
any thirg to the prisoner, he ran outside the pre-
mises and called to Buckley, who was working on the
roof, asking where he had left his coat. Buckley told him
he had left it in a closet in a room at the back of the shop.
Having examined the closet, and found the coat gone, he
went after the prisoner, followed by Buckley, overtook him
in Pilgrim street, and the coat still on his back. The
prisoner pleaded dtunkenn as, and said he had lost his own
coat. Upon being asked whether he would be tried here
or sent to the sessions. preferred the former, and pleaded
guilty, lie was then sen'eneed to 21 days' hard labour.
POACHINCI.—Thomas Baxter, a tall, hearty looking man,
whose drees betokened his avocation, was charged with
being in pursuit of game on the land of Richard Naylor
Etq., at Hooton. Richard Price, a night watcher, in

3rd instant, between nine and ten o'clock, he was
on duty, when he saw the defendant, accompanied
by a dcg, come from Eastham village down the
Cheater road towards Chester, and after walking for
about half a mile, he went into a field in the occupation of
Mr. Hope Jones. In a short time he returned into the
turn/A.3 road, upon which he (Price) apprehended him,
and, having given him in charge of another watchman,
went and searched in the direction the defendant had been.
and there found a hare, fresh killed, and quite warm. He
then returned to where he had left the defendant, and
upon searching him, found three nets in his pockets, such
as are used by poachers. Mr Bretherton, who appeared
for the defendant, urged that the evidence was not bitch as
was required by the Act of Parliament. as at the time of
his apprehension he was on the turnpike road ; and al,o
that there was a want of proof that the defendant's dog
had killed the hare. The Bench, however, said there was
quite sufficient to account for hie bring there, and sentence'i
him to 14 days' hard labour in the Knutsford House of
Correction.

ANOTHER CASE.—John Meadows, of H ylake, wal also
charged with trespwssing on the land of Jchn Ralph Shaw
Rig , at Arrowe, 'with a lurcher dog, in pursuit of game:

charged with creating a disturbance in the shop of Mr.
Stewart, a chemist and druggist residing there, from which
Hughes had been sent to eject him. Upon getting him
out he became very rough, and Smith, the other officer,
having come to his assistance, they got him away. but
while doing so, Thomas Davis pushed him (Smith)
down. Ultimately they got them a Kay, and as they were
known, summonses were taken out against them. Mr. Bra.
therton defended them, and in the course of he eross-ex-
atnination elicited from Hughes that he and his brother
officer had, on a former occasion, been to the Punch-bowl
public-hone, where there was fiddling and dancing,
although they knew the magistrates had ordered that eort

of entertainment to be discontinued. Defendants were
ordered to eater into their own recognizances to keep the
peace for six months. That having been done, they were
discharged.
lINPRQVOKED APSAULT —Richard Walters and James
Smith, two butcher lade, living at Lower Babington, were
charged with the folio wing unprovoked assault on John
Harper. Complainant, who is in the employ of the Patent
Candle Company at Broniorough, said that, on Sunday
night last, as he and a female friend were walking home
from the direction of Tranmere, and shortly before they
got to Rock Ferry, the two defendant' came up behind
him, and, without saying a word, Smil struck him in the
face, and, directly after, Walters did the same Bath
defendants were strangers to him, and he could in no
way account for their conduct. Isabella Shackleton
gave confirmatory eviderce. Mr. Crafter, who keeps the
Derby Arms, stated that complainant ran int.) his house
for protection, when Walters came to the door, and called
out that he would have the b out, and he would

In re CIIRISTOPTIBB BAr. CFIS. —The bankrupt, who wag a
ship-chandler, carrying on business in Liverpool, appeared
for his certificate, through his solicitor, Mr. Evans. Mr. Hill
appeared on behalf of a creditor, and examined the bankrupt
at considerab'e length. - His Honour stated that although
Mr. Hill's objecion fell to the ground ; the bankrupt could
not at p-esent have a certificate, at his estate had not
realized tie £l5O required by bankrupts coming to the
court on their own petition. Mr. Evans gave notice that
he should appeal against his Honour's decision, and said
he was strongly of opinion with others of his legal friends,
that if it were proved to the satisfaction of the court, that
at the time of making the adjudication, the bankrupt's
available estate was worth £l5O, but should, through no
fault of the bankrupts, fail to realize that sum ; the act
never contemplated withh 'Ming such a bankmpt's certifi-
cate. His Honour fixed the amount to be deposited on
appeal, at ten pounds.

BELFAST CORPORATION.

Subjiined will be found a copy of the award,
signed by the Arbitrators, on behalf of the Town
Council and of the Executive Committee :

The undersigned, having been r( quested to meet and en-
deavour to effect a settrernent of the litigation at present
pending between the Relator, on behalf of the ratepayers, and
certain members of the Municipal Corporation of Belfast, have
come to the folowing conclusion :—That, believing that the
removal rr the evils from which the town and corporation are
suffering (by means of a settlement of the litigation in question)
has been mainly retarded by a s rong impression which exists
in the minds of many of the ratepayers, that, in the past elec-
tions of members of the To sn Council too much regard has
been had to the political feelings and interests of the candidate ;
and, believing that this impression has been strengthened by
the fact that, with a few exceptions, the members of the council
have been selected cxeusively from one political party ; and
that, so long as this state of things continues, there will not
exist ench an entire absence of political feeling, or such general
public confidence in the council as we believe all parties now
desire to establish and maintain—Vire recommend that, as
vacancies occur in the Town Council, they should be filled up
from the most respectable ratepapers, who are willing to under-
take the duty without regard to political feeling, and that the
special respondents, and all our fellow-townsmen, ought to use
their best exertions and inflaence to effect this object, until the
council has been divested of all appearance or suspicion of
political bearing, or of any of its powers being used for any other
objects than the well-being of the town. That, in order to
effect this object, we strongly recommend that, at the falling
in of fift •en vacancies at November next, ten at least, of
these vacancies should be filled up from the liberal class of
ratepayers. In making this recommendation, we disclaim
situps her any wish to interfere with the rights and privileges
of our fallow-townsmen as to their votes, but merely suggest
what we believe to be the course likely to restore the harmony
and good feeling which h-s been so seriously interfered with.
Tha', on this being effected, and a sum of eight thousand five
hundred pounds (as proposed by Messrs. Lemon, and Bristow,
exclusive of three thousand to be paid to Mr. Lawless, under
Mr. Bruce's letter), being lodged by the special respondents in
our hands, all legal and equitable proceedings shall be immedi
ately stPpended, and no opposition shall be offered to the
passing of the bill to legalise the borrowing of all moneys lent
to the Town Council, and to relieve the special respondents
Team all liability for the application and expenditure of all
moneys received by the council, and finally to put an end to
the existing proceedings in the Court of Chancery; and we
recommend that all parti s should join in requesting the Lord
Chancellor, to take charge of such bill as a public bill, and to
we his influence, and that of the government to have the same
caused through the houses of parliament. That on the passing
of the act of parliament the sum of eight thousand flee hundred
pounds shall be handed over to Messrs. Dnnville, and Mac-
namara, to he then ap,died to the discharge of all costa and
expenses which have been incurred and not otherwise provided
for. This recommendrien to be submitted to, and subject
to the approval of the Attorney General for Ireland.

adultery was on Tharsday submitted to the Paris Tribunal
of Correctional PJlice. The defendants, a young married
woman named Eugenie G—, and a young professor
named It ibinet, made no attempt to deny their guilt,

a violent passion for each other, and were engaged to be
married, but their family misfortunes prevented their
union, and that the wocaan married another ; that after
a while they again met,. and their pa:sion reviving, the
