COURTSHIP AND JEALOUSY LlT?.—.3ftp.
Broomfield, a decently clad widow, of Rae-street, in the i.ku and
china line, stepped forward yesterday to the plaos of accusation, fd-
lowed by her daughter, holding a little child in her arms, sod ht.-
ing been sworn, charged Matilda flutter with striking her list
through her frutit door, which was made of glass, and touching her
on the forehead.

She stated the case in the following terms :—" As I wu quiet!!
going to bed, your Worship, and my children had been pencesb y
gone to sleep, I gut off all my clothes but my petticoat. your ►l'es.
ship, when there came a loud rapping to the door. It was belt-
past eleven ; I cried out, •My goodness, what is this ?' I loosed
nut and saw three men endeavouring to push down the shutters:
I repeated, • 3ly goodness, what is this ?' when, your Worship,
this woman struck her first through the glass and touched me on
:he forehead."

Mr. Sergeant sr.Ll.oN—Can you assign any moon for all this?
Ira. Broomfield—None in the world.
Mr. Sergeant SELLOX—Can you? (Looking at Miss Matildt
Butter.)
A person rushed forward from the surrounding crowd, and begged
to be allowed to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
He was sworn and said, •• We are all shornates. your Worship,
and mica us, Mr. Wall, is a widower, arid is paying his addresses
to this woman (Miss Matilda Rotten, and when hit. West mid is
us last night, • Come, lads, ye may shut up for this night,' we
went to hare a pint of beer, and Miss Butter with us. This we-
man's daughter then came and beckoned Mr. !falls away, so we
went to her house to see whether Mr. Walls was there, and instead
of Matilda Butter striking hlra. Broomfield. it was Mn. Broom-
field who pushed .3lutilda Butter from the door, and that is the
truth, so help me (loil !
.Magistrate—Oh, it was jealousy of Walls between the accord
and the daughter.
Mrs. Broomfield—four Worship, Mr. Walls and my daughter
were asked in church.

"I deny that," cried oat the ungallant Walla.
After some uncourtenus altercation about this coort,liip. the
Magistrate °reefed Walls to repair the broken pans of 'Aar&
and to withdraw at once with the crowd who now puss&
around him.

ADeLrIII THEATIE.—Amongst the amusements which
are daily given in the metropolis we have seldom been more
gratified than by witnessing Mr. Hen►y's performances at
this Theatre. We thought the Lill of fare seemed calcu-
lated to please a general taste ; and indeed we cannot
withhold our meed of approbation. A variety of deception
of the most pleasing kind, experiments on hydrogen,
oxygen, and carbonic acid gases, musical glasses, and a
phantasmagoria, are all included in one evening's perform-
ance. We must refer our readers to the exhibition itself,
which only occurs on the Wednesdays and Fridays in
Lent, and which has hitherto been honoured with fashion-
able and crowded audiences.
