MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MRS LIDDERMORE'S GRIEVANCES.-SINGULAR CASE.
—Mrs Eliza Liddermore attended before Mr Knox to
answer the complaint of Mrs Harriet Gee, of using threat-
ening language towards her; and there was a cross com-
plaint against Mrs Gee of assaulting Mrs Liddermore.
Mr Edward Dillon Lewis, from the office of Mr Edward
Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for Mrs Gee.
The case was briefly this:—On the 4th of June Mrs Gee
was coming down stairs with a basin of water in her hand,
when Mrs Liddermore, who had a hammer is her hand,
threatened to break Mrs Gee's head, and upon this, accord.
ing to Mrs Liddermore's statement, Mrs Gee threw the
basin of water over her.

Mrs Liddermoro, who is a lodger of Mrs Gee's, handed
the magistrate the following list of grievances, and a daily
register of the number of bugs caught in her apartments,
from March 21 to May 20. A summary of the grievances
as follows :—Number of bugs destroyed during the abova
period, 800. The area door taken away and the house,
rendered unsafe. The water-closet locked, and the key
taken away and refused. Continuous knocking for two
nights from 12 till 4in the morning. A pail of whitewash
upset, and the doors of the apartments plastered with the
same. The water run off on several occasions."

Mr Knox suggested that the better course would be for
Mrs Liddermore to leave the house, but Mr Lewis said it
was a quarterly tenancy, and it was not until Mrs Lidder-
more received her summons that she took out one against
Mrs Gee. He thought if each was bound over to keep the
peace to the other that it would be sufficient,
Mr Knox assented to Mr Lewis's suggestion, and that
course was adopted.

woman, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing from
the person of Wm. Nicholas, of Hillingdon, Middlesex, a

street, that morning, shortly before one o'clock, he heard
something heavily fall on the ground, and on looking
round saw the prosecutor lying on the ground and the
prisoner trying to bite his watch guard in two. The
prosecutor's watch was gore, and the landlord came round
and closed the doors and sent for a constable. The prisoner
was sober, but the prosecutor was very drunk.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said he did not see
the prisoner pass the watch to any one, but she might have
done so as there were several persons present.
Mr Nicholas said he was "exceedingly" drunk the pre-
vious night. He last saw his watch at ten o'clock, and it
was then attached to his person by a guard. When he re-
covered himself he found himself in the station.

all the evening, and took her to the Haymarket and bought
her a bouquet,

ROBBETLY BY A " THAMES.
VERY RESPECTABLE WOMAN."—
Marpset M'Gregor, (also called M'Geary) aged 33, and
d'soribed as a housekeeper, of No. 43, Lucas-street, St.
George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with stealing 2ilbs. of bacon, the property of
Alphonse Gilet, a Frenchman.

Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, who gave his evidence through the
medium of an interpreter, keeps a beershop and provision
store, No, 10, Lucas. stress. Thl prisoner occasionally dealt
there, and on several occasions obtained goods on credit
which she paid for. Yesterday afternoon it,. came
co cue shop and purchased a pint of beer and a quarter of a
pound of Cheshire cheese. As she was leaving the shop
he missed a piece of bacon off the counter. lie went after
her, and found the piece of bacon under her shawl. She
said it was her first offence, but he suspected she had before
robbed him of a large piece of bacon and on another occa-
sion of a German sausage.
Mr Stoddart cross-examined the witness, but did not
materially shake his testimony. He then made an appeal
on behalf of the prisoner, who, ho said, was a very respect-
able woman, and not likely to commit such a robbery unless
impelled by some uncontrollable impulse.
Mr Partridge said he could make no distinction between
rich and poor. He did not know whether she was actuated
by a sudden impulse or was a confirmed thief; but as the
prosecutor suspected she had robbed him several times
before, he fined her £5 for the unlawful possession of the
bacon, or a month in d9fault.
