peayeil qt dna qtlice on a summons to answer the complaint of Mr.
Thomas Parker, die manager of the Metropolitan Alderney Dairy
Company,
.Edgeware-roat!, Paddiugtori, who charged him with
having committed an areault.
it will be recollected that Dir. Parker was charged at this office
on Friday last by Mr. Onhistuid, with embezzlement, which
was nat substantiated by evidence, when, according to the decision
of the Magistrate, Mr. Parker was lett with full power to continue
his duty as the Manager of the above Company. It appears, that
after the decision of the Bench, he repaired to his residence in the
Edgeware-road, where the business of the Company is carried on,
and he had not been there long before Mr. Golds:Mil (who has em-
barked considerable property to promote the views of the Company)
proceeded to thelinuse hit the purpose ofdernanding of Mr. Parker ,
to deliver up certain property to which he (AV. (1.) felt himselt
entitled, and to accomplish sane arrangententallshich lie thought
necessary to be made, and while in the pursuit of his object, the as-
satin complained of was committed.
The case seemed to excite considerable interest, and the parties,
who were in attendance from an early hour. waited patiently in the
office for tie arrival of Messrs. Broderick and Adolphus, who en-
tered about two o'clock.

Itaolmutciattentled for Mr. Parker. and Mr. A nor.-
Pima for Mr. Golasinid, who was attecded by Mr. FLO/lAN C
his solicitor.

. Mr. (later yr the 31:it:nitrate, prior to the ease being entered

I:dgeware.road, be had nut been there long when Dlr. tioldsruid
arrived at the house fur the purpose of seeing hint (witness). who
.4 Ills time was coming down stairs to consult with his solicitor,
and while passing along the passage Mr. tioldiunid made
his appearance, and placing his back against the outer dour,
roused ro let him pass, and obstructed his passage for some
time. Witness insisted on passing, hut Mr. Goldamid still per-
sisted Is his determination not to suffer him to do so, and placing
his hands upon his person in order to keels him inside the house,
would not let him approach the door, and c.•tlled two men
to assist him in his objem—for what reason he could not account.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—Pray, Sir. was not this a private passage?—
No, Sir, it was not; there are two passages leading to tLe offices.
but the one I wanted to pass through leads to every part of the
house. _ _

Mr. Asorrnus—Did not Mr. Goldsmid call after some pro-
perty ? Did he not say to you that you should not pass until you
delivered him up coin. property belonging to him 9—No.
Mr. ADOl.rit vs—Did he not say that you should not leave that
house until a certain person arrived there ?—No, he did not.
Mr. A nor.onlVA—And will you swear that ?-1 will, and I shall
say nothing but what is perfectly right. Ile said, if you are an
honest man you will a nv where you are.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—Did not you approach Mr. Goldamid while in
the passage, before he touched you ?-1 (lid not.
Mr. A notriz us—On your oath. did not you do sn, and touch
Mr. Goldsmid before he touched a•ou 9—On my oath i did not,
Sir; now are you satisfied? I did not touch him till lie touched me.
Mr. Anor.vii Goldsmid is the person to be satisfied.
Mr. BRODERICK said, that that was all Mr. Parker had to
state, it won a short and simple case.
Mr. Gittri•Vrit —lt certainly is (smiling). I shall call upon
Mr. Goldsmicl to put in his own recognizance in the sum of MIL, to
appear at the Sessions if necessary. It will be a wiser plan to end
the matter amicably.
Mr. PROTER/Cii-1 have advised them to settle their differences
by arbitration. which will put an end to all disputes and prevent
expense, trouble, and actions at law.
Mr. Goldsmid put in his own recognizance. Subsequently a
private consultation was held between the parties, which we con-
jecture led to an linkable adjustment of matters, and the parties
quitted the office.

Thomas litrtett, a master tin-plate workev, was brought before the
sitting Magistrates, Messrs. %Priet and HARDWICK, on a war.
rant issued at the in.tance of the pariah officers of Whitechapel,
charging hint with refusing to support his wife, and calling on hint
to account for so doing.
The wife, a very young woman. stated, that in consequence of
his neglect she was unwillingly compelled to resort to the parish
for relief, and that the treatment she received from him was of the
cruellest description. She here entered into a long detail of her
domestic grievances, which however were completely met by a
shrewd-looking old man, the father of the prisoner. who said that
be had kept a journal of each day's occurrence for this some time
past, which would at once exhibit the affair in its true light, and
exonorate his son from the imputations cast upon him by his wife.
He here handed in the register, which, from its general style,
evinces that its compiler was at one period of his life a follower of
nautical avocations. We give it verbatim, thinking that its
adoption hereafter by the wedded part of the community may be
attended with advantages, and serve to place, if kept with accuracy,
all matrimonial differences in their proper position :
Loo OF THE UNITED-STATE SCHOONER MATRIMONY.
—" Thursday, January t.—John wanted his wife to mend his
apron. She would not. Words arose, but no violence (blew
titA.)—Jacuary 6. She was fur leaving him.-to prevent her, be
took the child. She flew into a screaming rage (gale sprung up),
saying " you want to murder me." John's mother sent for her sinter
to try to reconcile them, h t instead of that, she only augmented
the flame, and left her after continued abuse. Afterward;, when
all was gone, all was made up, and all sapped together, and after
supper, John and wife went to bed quietly. After that, her
mother, father, sister, and two brothers, came to the house, and
insisted on seeing her. They were told she was peaceably in bed,
but they insisted on getting into the room, and John got out of
bed, and let them iu, but she did hot put on her clothes. and would
not go with them. So far it ended, except a deal of violent abuse.—
Jan. 7. Peaceable all day. At night went to bed in peace. Sunday
morning, Jan. 3.—trresh squalls.) Took herself off quite suddenly
(shipped cables). Soon found she went to atop away. Went and
reasoned with John and her. advising her to come again. In the even-
ing her brother came and told John all should be made up. They
both came home, and went to bed quite loving.—Monday, dead
cabin—Tuesday, Jan. 10. She went to a raffle. lle went and
joined her ; but not coming home when he wanted, fresh words
arose, and continued violently (blowing a gale) off and on, till
Jan. 13. Seeing they could not now be reconciled, I said, as
it was morning, she had better go to her mother's house—
thinking their tempers at night would be in a better state; but
instead of renaming at night, as I expected, she staid away
till Monday, the Itch. My son and daughter, John's brother
and sister, tried once more to make peace, but she would not. After
that, John went, and seeing the child in the cradle, took it out and
brought it home with him, thinking she would come after it. but
she did not. Next day she passed by the door, John ran after her
and pulled her in—she swore she would not live with him, and
would stick a knife in herself sooner ; she went away.
During the perusal of the above the auditory were convulsed
with laughter. At its conclusion, the Magistrates reconuttanded
the parents on both sides to use their influence to reconcile the
young couple; they refused, as it appeared Are had voluntarily left
her husband without making any provision for contributing to her
support. The Magistrates impressed on both the great sacrifice
they were making of their domestic comfort and respectability by
the repetition of those family jars. The husband seemed most
anxious to take the worthy Magistrates' advice, but his better-half
left the office expressing her determination no longer to cohabit with
him.
