LAMBETH-STREET.
DOMESTIC BROILS.

Yesterday the Magistrates at this off ee were occupied
some time in hearing and endeavouring amicable to settle n
dispute bet ween a Mr. Thomas Noble and his wife,
Mr. Noble, a diminutive youth of about ;as ho states) 19.
although apparently not more than 11 years of age, fell into
company with his present wife about ten months ago, then
the blushing Miss Eliza Clement, and being smitten by her
conquering charms, after a ~hurt courtship, proposed a more
intimate alliance, to Which the said Eliza, " nothing loath,"
consedted, apparently to the satisfaction of all parties ; but
no sooner was the matrimonial knot tied, than he discovered
that.he had got a perfect devil to dual with, and although he
has been only eight months married, they have been a long
eight months of trouble to him ; " she did just as she_pleased
with-me," said this unfortunate husband, " and if I offered to
renfonstrato she obtained the assistance of her mother to
silence me."

The little man went on to say further, that she pawned his
property and reduced him to great distress, although he car-
ried home every shilling of bill wages to her every Saturday
night. At length she left his house and took shelter st.tb her
mother, living in Batteystreet, Cemmerrial.road ; thither
his doatin.: fondness for his wife carried him, but he was cru-
elly assaulted by her and her mother. It was for Ibis assault
that be had obtained a wanitut from the Magistrates.

Mrs. Noble was then called on to give tier account of the
transactions alluded to by her hsuband. She stepped forward
with • countenance brightened up with much expression,
thinking probably she would get rid of such a tiresome little
tellow as her husband was, and, in a most flippnet manner,
laid a long string of complaints against him, how he had
reduced her to the necessity of pawning the goods fur sup-
port, and how the bailiffs were in such close pursuit of him
that, for her own safety, she had gone to reside with her mo-
ther ; but, worst of all, how he deceived her in the onset of
their acquaintance, foe, instead of his being in respectable
circumstances previously to their marriage, be was " over
head and ears" in debt.
_ . .

In concluding a long and derma Metier., she declared that
sho would not go home to her spousy again, nor should any
law compel her to do so.
All these complaints, and other recriminating matters, her
mother, Mrs. Clement, when called upon fur her defence,
corroborated, and bore out her daughter's courageous resolu•
lion, by declaring that pour Mr. Noble never should enter
her house to see his wife.

Mr. Wyatt. the silting Magistrate, said that at all events
the husband was authorised to pursue his a ife wbcreever she
might be, and all persons preventing him front exercising
that right, would do it at their peril, and be liable for the
minsequences. The worthy Magistrate however said, that
the poor little fellow seemed to be completely beset by the
mother and daughter.
. . . . .

Mrs. Noble being requested to give up all the duplicates
she possessed, !lauded to her husbaud a cousiderable number
of them.

At present it was throught pmper to dismiss tho complaint
with a proper precaution to the too Ucf•ndants.
The bewildered husband had no sooner left the office, than
his wife and her mother made an attack wpon him, and no
doubt would have extinguished him but for the interference
of the officers, by whom they were taken again before the
Mseristratcs, and fur this last assault ordered to flud good
bait.
