who has lately vegetated on Saffron-hill, was brought up on the
complaint of the Overseer of the parish of St. Andrew's, nothoe„,
charged with having neglected to allow a suitable maintenance to
his wife.
The complaint was substantiated by the wife, a IPOIIIII/3 of gigat_
tic dimensions; she stated that she and Darby had been Itifult,
married by the Parish Priest of Bantry, in the mete ('arL ;
that immediately after the joytitl ceremony, Darby deserted bet;
and that on her following him here, lie is not content with (hurt.
ing her, but he mielests-her whenever they meet.
I On the Magistrate inquiring if she hau got any family, she re.
plied, " I have but one child, plow your Worship, in the family
way," pointing signilicantle at her person.
rpon the defendant being called upon to explain his conduct, he
referred his case to a friend who accompanied him.
]'lase your Worship (said the advocate), poor Darby has had Do
idication, and if you'll allow me I'll compound this matter to you,
lie then stated that defendant was taken neck and heels in hit own
country befote a priest to marry this woman, at the point of the
pike, who, it appeared, had liberally contributed preciottyly to the
population of the country, and that as soon as he club! escape
from the clan which seized him, be emigrated to this cminuy the
woman, however, still intent upon her prey, followed lust.
Here the learned advocate was interrupted by the wife excites,-
ing—" Plase your Worship? I'll be on my atlidavy, I never hid
a call to man but yon." Thu requiring a little explanation, she
said she meant the expression fur her husband, but she would net
condescend to look at him.

It appeared that Darby had no means of even supposing himself.
It was decided to pass Loth- home; upon which he exdaiou-4,
that he would rather go to Botany Bay without her, than Bantry
Bay with her.
hile the Overseer was arranging for their tour, she gave lu r
spouse a foretaste of the pleasure of the emu • saying, "By
J—s, I'll Late you as tender as a potted herrieg you us
Ballinafad."
