MARI4IOR(WCIISTREET,

Yesterday being the day appointed for the final examination of
Jana,: Hairy, charged upon suspicion of having set tire to the
premises in Argyll-place, this office was, as on the last occasion,
thronged to a great degree, previous to the commencement of the
examination.

Sir George Farrant, the magistrate, Mr. Alley, who appeared as
eounkel fur the prisoner, several gentlemen belonging to different
Firs °Aces, and a number of neighbouring trades.peuple, pro.
ceeded to take a view of the premises, which are situated very near
the office.

The shop and kitchen armoured almat entirely consumed, but
the parlour, in which there stands a tent bedatead, was but partially
burnt.

After additional evidence had been gone into,
Mr. ALLEY said he did not choose, in this stage of the proceed.
sag, to urge anything on the part of the prisoner.
Sir °Knew: F T said, there was quite sufficient evidence
to send die prisoner fur trial before a jury; but if he could make out
a good defence, there could be no doubt he would there have the
advantage of it.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial, and the wit-
nesses all bound over to prosecute.
Yesterday W. "Ivory, apprentice to Mr. Dennison, a tin-plate
worker, In Chureh.lane, Strand, was charged with assaulting his
master and mistress. The complainant stated that he, on Tuesday.
sent the defendant on an errand to Piccadilly, and the !actives gone
nearly two hours; on his return, he being justly incensed at his
long stay, remonstrated with him ; defendant became insolent, and
seised a stick and aimed a blow at complainant's head, which tin.
fortunately struck that of his wife (who interfered to prevent mis-
chief) and her comb was broken in pieces.
Defendant said the master provoked the first assault.
The mother of Avory, in vindication of her son, said he was moat
cruelly used, and had a large water-butt threatened to be nut
through him.
The muster said thatwhen parents interfered in the manner which
Mrs. Avory did, the apprentice began to think himself deprived of
the comforts of home, and being discontented with the treatment he
experiences! from his master, be became abusive.
The Itlrcristmte said, it certainly was so, and ordered his mother
to find bail ter her son.

The parties afterwards came forward again, and it seeming the
wish of each that the lad should be turned over to anew master, it
ws agreed to.
ATTEMPTED ASPAIMXATIOIL—reIterd3y, Mr. Jarrin, the
confectioner in flond.street, attended at the office, to state sonic
further particulars which had come to his knowledge relative to the
atrocious attempt that was made on Saturflzy night list to assaasi.
nate 3lrs. Jarrin. From his statement it would appear, that the
net was committed by a tall and elegantly dr.:,•,ed man, who
was observed on the opposite side of the way with a large stick in
his hand, which. it is since believed, was an air gun. lle was ob.
served to raise the stick tswardv his breast, in a parallel
direction towards the window, and immediately after the bullet
pa..ved within an inch of Mrs. Jarrrat's person. The man then
walked off in a hurried and agitated manner. At the moment.
another person. tall in stature, dressed in a dark coat, stood
near the window, and when the shnp.gitl ran out she questioned
:iim, after which ha went off quickly in the unit direction as the
other person. Front the descriptions given, it is hoped the police
will, in a few days, bring the parties to justice.
