John Allen. aged T 2, was indicted for assauttin g
Richard Lees, on the highway, and taking from him a

was another ease of street robbery at Manchester, but of
a much more ageratated description.

On Tuesday Madame Simeon, an elderly Frenchwomen, set
the mother of Mrs. Chatterley,Ake clever amnia actress, was
brought before Themes Halls, Esq. charged by Mau. laiwabeth
Christmas. shady of matronly appearance, on the verge *USG.
with committing an assault and battery upon ber, by cutting
her lip severely, and loosening several or her teeth, with
large candlestick.
The statement of Mrs. Christmas, who was very strongly
agitated while giving her testimony, was to this effect :—She
was formerly the wife of Captain Wsigbt, R. N. who at hie
decease, some years ago, left her a fortune of something snot*
then 0,0001. It happened that Capt. Wright kept oath at the
banking house of Messrs. Hoare and Co. in Fleet-street, whose
Mr. Christmas, her present husband, was and is now a clerk,
She saw him there ; he was assiduously attentive ; she viewed
him with an eye of favour, and after • courtship of moderato
length they were married. Their connubial happiness was,
however, but of short duration. Mr. C. became cool and in'.
attentive ; this led to repeated qoarrela; -finedir, matters were
so bad. • separation was agreed upon ; Mr. C. consenting to
'allow her 1201. per annum so long as she 'should live.—
Barly is the evening of Monday sennight. she was going with
a young gentleman to the house of a friend, and • when near
Craven-street, Strand, she was slopped by a person, who told
her, that if she was qu:ok, she would see Mrs. Chatterlej, (uf
whom she was manifestly jealous) and her Wieland talking to.
gether at the top of Craven street. She ran on, mid saw Mrs.
Chatterley going hastily down the street, but did not sae her
husband. She followed her and demanded to knew where
her husband was, brit received no other notice than a contemp-
, toous sneer. Mrs. Chatterley stopped at the house where she
.and her mother (the defendant) reside, and when she entered
the pauage Mrs. Christmas renewed, repeating her enquiry for
her husband. ,Al that moment Madame Simeon rushed forth
from a parlour, aud with a heavy candlestick struck her ON she
mouth. ller lip was out through, her gums dreadfully lacerated,
and her teeth loosened.
Madame Simeon, in answer to this statement, declared that
Christmas was guilty pf the first assault, as well as • trespass.
She (Madame Simeon) hearing &noise, went into the passage
with a candle, and there saw Mrs. Christmas grrupiag bar
daughter fast by the throat.
Mr. Halls said, that his duty was very plain And
Whether or not there was any real foundation for the jealousy
of Mrs. Wristlet's, he would not enquire. An assault had
been sworn to. and Madame Simeon meat bad bail.—Bail was
given immediately,
[We feel it deedlo the highly rtspeetable stouter from whence
we have received the most authentic assurance of the het, to
state, that the inference which might he damn togabiag him
Chatteriny's conduct, has not the slightest foundation in truth—.
and farther, that the annuity des to MOLChristaisa has alway•
been regularly paid.—Ee.)

a**, deevioced them to the people present as body matchers.
To taro array the growing eager of the audience, Vaughan im-
mediately retorted no the grave-digger. Ito hesitated rot to
avow that the gravedigger bad received upwards of 701. within
the last three months, io the boom of which time be (Vaughan)
had bees supplied with 43 bodies. The sensatioo produced by
this information on the public mind may easily be conerived.---
Ilusbands, wives, fathers, mothers, brothers. sisters, soon, mid
deughters, rushed to the ground ; the graves were opened, and
ant many of their dearest relatives were gone from the tomb.—
distress and fury commuoicated with the populace who bad
assembled 'resod ; an attack was regularly commenced upon
tbe house ender which • gateway leads to the burial ground,
sod where the persons lived who had the care and received the
fees for interment, and presently not a pane of glass remained in
the front or at the back of the premises. Most probably the
rage of the populace would not have stopped here had sot the
police-Akers of *hie ogee. interfered for the preservation of
tie psblia pease.

Ott Thursday eveaing the grave digger was takes into ow-
Maly, sod brought before Wow Bennett, Esq. the presiding
magistrate, who remanded him for further easmination. When
this man was brought to the °dice, he and the officers were sur-
rounded by an immense concourse, who rent the air with their
•seerations, and it was with difficulty he was preserved from
the vengeance of outraged feeling.
Oa Friday the work of opening the graves was still going on,
which induced us to visit the spot, where we beheld a scene
revoftisg to all the common feelings of humanity. A large
etrocourse of people crowding tb the gate, which was guarded
the patrols and parish ofiloers, and on the ground were pro-
s!sted groupes of relatives looking with dreadful anxiety to the
opesiog of each grave.
Oa one side we beheld the wild wary of &tender mother,
wise had with her owe heads dog out the cots of her ono*
darling child, and Omagh its weight intimated that its linmate
was out fled, still the mother was not satisfied, the lid was
gently opened, when she became convinced and fraatic ',Bh-

gloom of despair. He had examined the g f his departed
father, mother, and little brother, whose empty coffins were to
him ntelancholy proofs of lbu fate of their bodies. The whole
scene was distressing even to a bye 'tender.
William Waggett, the grave digger, was again brought be-
lose the magistrate, when Vaughan and snottier resarrectie*
upor attended ; but they bad only to state, that the mac who
was the immediate trader with the prisoner bad told them, he
had received on impression, in was, of the key-to the grated,

the river Thames,

that about len o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, he
was going down the river in his :mat, with • fare to London,
when off Barnes shore his fen, who was pulling one of the
'mills, observed a body flutist( an Ilse surface of the water.
Witness pulled towards it and (mood itlo be that of a female,
bat in such a state of putrefaction that it would not have beer•
proper to hare taken it into the wherry. He therefore called a
boat from Chiswick, and the body was towed' along, and placed
in a shell in the bane-house. The deceased had en • black

The Coroner said it was • melancholy circumstance that no

was called in, and every attention paid to his distressing

though the damage to the house was immaterial, Isis
