I ain't no scholard myself, but I knows werry well its three

The bill was handed up to the Learned Commissioner,
but, although a first-rate classical scholar, Mr. Dubois de-
clared his inabity to make it out distinctly. The following
is a true copy :

What do you say to this account, Mr. Sweep, eh ? de-
manded the Commissioner. Defendant—Oh, I don't say
nuthin not in perteckeler—fast is my Lord I did git my
head through his windy, a nd I'll tell your Lordship all
about it.

COMMISSIOMER—DO SO, sir.
Defendant—l will Sir. We was a gitting up a new
piece as was a comin on that werry night at our cirkis in
the New Cut, to be titled " The Man as drew Priam's
Curtains ; or the Knight of the Blood-stained Knife."—
(Laughter.) Yer sees, my Lord, the plot on it was as
this : " Old Priam he gits to bed precious muzzy, and locks
his door, and don't put no candle out ; he's sposed to have
bin to a temperance club, and about to be served out cos he
drankt gin and water till sic!' times as he busted. Well, I
gits down the chimbley, sneaks up, and gits my head right
through a slit in the bed-curtains, and then I ses, as black.
Dan,' these ear words werry solemn :
" Hallow, old feller !—feller there, hulloes !
You muzzy, snoring warmint wot's asleep ;
Git up, old chap ; old chap, I say, git up ;
The max is gone, and half yer night cap burned."
At this ear pint," said defendant " I ducks my head un-
der the bedstead. Priam sits up, looks about, sees no-
thing, and so goes to sleep agin. Then I sings in a werry
beakitied manner, a regular piece ; lie kicks jist like King
Richard does in the tent scene. Then I ses in a werry
dismal sort of manner, and not by no means not like O'Con-
nell, when he's a goin' to cry for more rint :
" Will you git up P—once more I ses git up, Prium, my
boy—here's all O'Connell's Greeks from Saffron-hill and
Bloomsbury come down to help us regler ; now, old chap,
git up—clap on yer castor—button up your coat, that is, if
so be there's a button ou it.

" Up with the pokers, make the shovels ring,
Down Church, down State, down lazy Lords and—"

Here I absconds up the chimbly, and the plot goes on."
Mr. DUBOIS—Not here, my fine sample of the march of
intellect, I assure you.
Ah ! that's a'cause you a'int got no taste for the drammer,
said Blackey.
Perhaps not
,(said Mr. Dubois) and it would be ex-
tremely well for the ends of justice, and much to the cre-;
dit of the magistracy, if such nests of juvenile infamy were
put down. This amount must be paid immediately, and I
really must say that you afford a splendid sample of thievery
and theatricals.

The gentleman in black was then handed out of Court.

SUSPECTED MURDER AT EALING

DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN HEAD.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The parochial authorities are taking the most active steps,
assisted by the metropolitan police stationed at Ealing, to
discover whether any second crime, as horrid in its nature
as the one which has lately harrowed the feelings of the
country, has been committed in that neighbourhood. At
present the most painful rumours are in circulation, while
the parish and its vicinity are in a state of much excitement.
The portion of the skull remaining, which consists of the
cranium (the facial part and the lower jaw not having been
found), has not, as was stated, any hair. It was reported
that there was attached a length of hair. In addition to
Mr. Dickenson, the surgeon, who examined the skull on
Friday, Mr. Radcliffe, a medical gentleman residing at
Brentford, went to the station-house, at Ealing., for the
purpose of inspecting it, when he observed that the bone
over the left temple had received an extensirs injury. It is
the opinion of the above professional gentlemen that, from
the appearance of the skull, the person to whose body it
belonged was a young woman about eighteen years of age,
and that she died about twenty years ago ; and it is re-
markable that several persons recollect that about that pe-
riod a person living at the house suddenly disappeared, her
disappearance at the time causing much conversation. Since
then the house has been occupied by various tenants, and
it has been used as an academy for young gentlemen, from
which circumstance some persons suppose that some of the
young gentlemen were practising for the surgical profession,
as, not long ago, a man at work there, and who is known to
the constable, facing Ealing Church, found a thigh-bone.
As it is supposed that other portions of the body may be in
the recess where the skull was found, it has been ordered
to be cleared out.
