made by the plaintiff, his Honour ordered the remainder of
purchase money to be paid into Court ; this order the de-
fendant was not able to comply with, and consequently was com-
mitted to the Fleet Prison, upon an attachment for contempt. The
defendant's ease therefore now was, that the plaintiff never had

the - branches of the Court ; indeed a mare agricultural motion

ad b:en is possession, far the course of ten years, of a very
estate, and now, when called upon to pay for it, and after
resisted the payment, to the extent of lying in prison for

The granting of the injunction might be the entire de-

' THE HATTER ON W. KEMP, A BANIRTITT.
AT presented a petition in this matter on behalf of the

this Court from proceeding at law in an action to try the

the petition rested, was that of acquiescence to the corn-

he again took the bacon from her, and tamed her out of the shop,

Neither this threat, nor the double detection, meld overcome, it
seems, Molly Cogan's attachment ft Mr. Hill's bacon, for, a short
time afterwards, she darted into theshop again, and snatching up a
, piece of baron, weighing upward' of ale pounds, fairly ran off
with it ; he howeser pursued, and overtook her, and finding there
was no other way of p" wing his bacon," gave bet into the cue-
tody of en officer.
Potter, a beadle of !Halftime, the officer called in, took from
her • bag, which was found to coetain a large piece of beef, con-
sisting of See fine ribs, the greater part of a loin of mutton, and
several small loaves of bread, which seemed to be the proceeds: of
some previous depredations; and he assured the Magistrate, that

As Mr. Hill had do wish to press the cnarge, the Magistrate
thought the best till_ rig wdo with her was to send her to her parish,

Southwark.
Thil decision operated like a miracle upon 'he prisoner. Her

REJECTED ADDRESRES.
HATTOIr-G•RUCX, Auo. Ill.—Joseph Paget, an elderly man,
from whose appearance one might presume that the very recollec-
tion of the " hey-day" of youth put his memory on the stretch, was
brought up under a warrant, by Lee the officer, charged by a
Mrs. Lacon with putting her in bodily fear of her life.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Lacon, a decent littlo
woman, that about sixteen months ago the defendant paid his ad-
dressee to her, and not to " give a chance away," she admitted''
them. The bans of marriage were published in Pancras Church;
but before the solemnization, Mrs. Lacen got a hint that the de-
fendant had not strictly viewed the bill, of mortality In the parish,
as it seemed that his first wife was neither dead nor buried ; she,
therefore, by the advice of her friends, transplanted her affections
to her present husband, who was recommended to her as an honest,
hard-working, labouring man. Three weeks after marriage the
defendant wrote to her, threatening her life in case she did not
abscond with him. She disregarded the letter ; but in a few even-
ings afterwards he contrived to get admission with a loaded pistol,
and she narrowly escaped having her brains blown out. He was
then brought to this Office ; but on his promising not to permit the
hallow'd form to lingering haunt the greenest spot on Memcry's
waste," he was discharged. Since that time he has written both to
herself and her husband the most threatening letters, using the
vilest epithets, challenging the husband to single combat, and
imploring the complainant to permit ham and her to be one.
51ra. Lacon now produced a packet of documents, that would 'do
honour to any Chancery Barrister's bag, which Sergeant Sellon
most patiently perused.
The defendant declared his intentions were quite philanthropic.
He understood that the parties bad separated on some grounds of,
jealousy, and in order to give the young woman a humane asylum,
he wrote those letters in the won language described.
Sergeant SELLON observed, that his going before to the woman's
residence with a loaded pistol, gave a seriousness to the case which
it might not otherwise deserve, and ordered the defendant to find
bail, not being prepared with which, the parties separated; the
lady—not " to a nunnery," but the lover to the lock-up-room.
MARI.DOROVCII-STREET, Aro. 16.—A Spaniard, named
Francisco Blasco, who had Seen taken into custody some days
ago, upon suspicion of being concerned with some other foreigners
' in practising impositions upon various pawnbrokers, by pledging
with them imitation pearls for real ones, was brought before Mr.
Dyer, die sitting Magistrate, :or final examination. The particu-
lars of this case were stated in our Paper of Monday.
Mr. Fleuland, a Frenchman, residing in Newman-street, by
whom, on hie examination CM Saturday, the prisoner said he was
employed to sell these false pearls, now attended and confirmed his
statement, but he added that the prisoner Dever had instructions to
pawn any, nor did he (Mr. Fleuland) believe that he ever did so.
These pearls were made at a patent manufactury for the purpose,
at Paris, of which manufuctory Mr. Fleuland was the agent in this
country, and he employed the prisoner, with many others under
him. The articles from this manufactory were never intended to
be offered as real pearls, but to be sold for what they really were, a
beautiful specimen of imitation made from the scales of fish, chiefly
those of the dace and roach, which are exported in vast quantities
for the purpose to France from this country. Mr. Fleutand also
stated, through his Solicitor, he himself not speaking English, that
the only way in which he could account for the imposition practise4
upon Mr. Charoneaux, the pawnbroker by whom the complaint was
made, was, that a short time ago, he ( Mr.Fleeland) made apresent of
two or three of those necklaces to a female of his acquaintance, not
being things of any great value, only worth about 15e. each, and
he supposed it must have been this female who had sent some per.
son to pledge them as real pearls ; but he could not tell who the
female was, or where she was now to be found. It was quite im-
possible, he said, that Mr. Blasco could be guilty of such an act,'
as he had received the highest character of bin before he employed
him.

Mr. Charoneaux maid, that although his man could not swear post.
tively to the prisoner, he understood the shopman of Mr. Norman,
the pawnbroker. Princes-street, Soho, could.
Mr. Norman's thopman was accordingly sent for, and he pro-
duced two necklaces similar to Mr. Charonesux's, containing sixty
pearls, which were brought to Mr. Norman's shop by the prisoner.
who asked for them at the rate of Ls. each pearl, as a loan ; and
this siren, amounting to 151. was advanced to him. Witness directly
asked him if they were real pearl, and he replied that they were.
Ile had not the slightest doubt of the prisoner being the person who
pledged them.
The prisoner, notwithstanding this positive evidence, still denied
that he was the person; but the faith of his friend Mr. Fleuland
seemed to be considerably shaken, and he proposed, through his
solicitor, that rather than the case should he further proceeded
with, Mr. Norman and Mr, Charoneaux should both be remune-
rated for their loss.
Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, said, that although the came was now
most distinctly made out against the prisoner, yet as it was
merely one of fraud, and not of felony, he Ohl not feel it necessary
to press a prosecution, and would not object to the arrangement
proposed, as the prosecutors were disposed to do so.
The parties then retired, and Messrs. Norman and Charoneaux
received a part of their money. and the remainder to be paid this
day. The prisoner was then discharged.
It is supposed that these frauds have been carried on to a consi.
derable extent ; and such is the beautiful perfection that these
imitation pearls are brought to, that many jewellers yesterday pre.
sent at the Office declared, that nothing but the most experienced
'-eye could detect them. Mr. Norman's young man paid, that had
they known them to bar imitation. they would not have lent any
thing on them, or takeo them in at aIL -• .

CHARGE OF BIGAMY.
WORSAIP-STIEXT, AUGUST 16.—A young man, named
Thomor who had been in the service of Mr. Christie, of
Hackney-wick, aa groom and coachman, was brought before Mr.
TWYTORD for final examination, on a charge. of Intermarrying
with Sarah Horton, a, former wife being still alive. The eircum.
stances. as detailed in evidence, were as follow :
In May. 1820, the prisoner married a young woman named
Martha Delay, in the parish of Newington-butts, who shortly
after their marriage went into the service of a respectable trades-
man in St. Paul's Church-yard. and the prisoner himself after-
wards entered into the service of Air. Christie, where he became
enamoured of his fellow-servant, Sarah Horton, and in August, I
11122, married her at the parish church of St. John, Hackney.
Here he was frequently visited by his firm wife, between whom and
i
the second a sort of ntimacy commenced, but so artfully were
matter,, conducted that each wife was uncomiciotta of the claim the
other had to the perun.of the lord of her affections, and the result
was, that each wife presented the doating husband with a living
pledge of their love, and but a few weeks intervened between the
bird) of the two children. In process of time the second wife,
being deserted by her husband, became chargeable to the parish,
and the prisoner vu taken into custody for the desertion, and
brought before the Magistrate. The parish officers having then
heard of his former marriage, he was remanded until this day, to
give time for the production of evidence of the first marriage.
This day the first marriage was proved by the evidence of a
bmther-in-law, a subscribing witness, who swore to the person of
the prisoner.
Sarah Hinson domed, that on the 10th of August, 1822, eh,
wan married to the prisoner, and produced the certificate of such
marriage.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.
This is the third ease of the same nature that has been brought
to light in the same purish within the last few months through the
wives having bees left chargeable to the parish.

Dash of night is in the highest degree interesting.
al labour ceases, the promenade is deserted, the
returns home to his family, and the day is defini-
ended. We Cimmerian' scarcely know what it is
day-light. Enveloped as we are in an atmo-
fog and cloud, we feel really little difference
y and night ; for how rarely are we blessed with
. serene sky. Here, on the contrary, the day,
consists of a distinct morning and evening, is all at
succeeded by the night. Twenty-four hours have
_leer course and a new series of twenty-four is begun.
The bells are rung, the beads are counted, and the servant
girl enters one's chamber with her lighted lamp and her
usual greeting of felieissima notte ! This moment varies
according to the seasons; and the people, who live in a
,tree and unrestrained manner, incur no risk of mistakes
saspecting time, as their business and recreations are deter-
itsined, not by the clock, but by the natural division of the
.day. To force an Italian to regulate his conduct in con-
Serenity with a northern dial, would be to lead him into
error. An hour, or an hour and a half before night the
marriages begin to drive to the promenade. The grand
place:of resort at Verona is the Bra, a fine broad street,'
which leads to the Poi ta Nuova. When the night bell
rings a new movement takes place. Some go to church,'
tO repeat tile Ave Maria della sera ; the gentlemen
approach the carriages and converse with the ladies; but
the pedestrians generally continue their promenade till late
in the night.
The trades-people here seem to live in a strange kind of
confusion. In some streets there appears to be no division
between the different shops and stalls; there are no doors
to the shops and warehouses; and their houses are entirely
open in front, so that the passengers command a full view
of the interior, and see all that is goi.lg on. Tailors, shoe-
makers, and other tradesmen carry on their business partly
in the open street, which is half occupid with their tools
and materials. Li the evening, when the shops are lighted
up, the city has a most animated and chi et fa! eff2et.
Market days in Verona are always full of bustle and
activity. The market places are stocked with an incredible
abundance of fruits and vegetables. The people are full of
gayety and, spirits, singing and laughing tic whole of the
ay. The genial climate, and the chespnt ss of provisions
insures an easy life, even to the very poorest classes, who
live almost in the open air.
At night the bustle and gayety are resumed. The air of'
Mar/brook resounds in every street, played either on the
dulcimer or the violin. The chirping of birds is imitated
on the fife and flageolet ; and the whole produces a most
singular combination of sounds. The mild climate grants
to poverty an exuberance of spirits, and the freedom which
prevails.makes even the shadow of a nation appear respect-
able.

To these habits, however, must be attributed the incon-
venience, incommodious arrangement, and the revolting

—.fitness of the interior of the houses. The people
seek all their enjoyments without doors, and consequently
are indifferent to domestic comfort. They are content with
little, and even the middling classes look for nothing more
than to gain a subsistence from day to day. The nobility
and persons of wealth shut themselves up in their resi-
dences, which, for every purpose of life, are far inferior to
ours. When they invite a party of friends, they never as-
semble in their own houses, but in places of public en-
tertainment. The vestibules and porticos of the houses are
the common receptacles of filth. All travellers are shocked
at the state of the houses in the towns of Italy.—Goethe.
