SiYesterday John Barnes was placed at the bar before
is
fromr L'lluita, charged with having stolen 61 silver plates
the house of the Marquis of Bath, in Grosvenor-square.
John Brunston, house-steward to the Marquis of Bath,
having been sworn, deposed that the prisoner had been in
hi' 14rdahiP's service as under butler, and was discharged
ot his situation on the 16th inst. The prisoner had had
the"ed entire care Of the plate. On Wednesday week witness
r• 61 Silver plates from the pantry, and from informs:-
ion
subsequently received, he was induced to believe that
the prisoner had stolen them.—The prisoner was remanded.
John S. Grindall, one of the nephews of the late
Grindall, whose will was the subject of a recent trial
41 the Court of King's Bench, was summoned by the driver
of the hackney-coach No. 911, for IL 125., being his de-
roand for fare alleged to have been incurred by defendant.
It appeared that at nine o'clock on the morning of the
trial the complainant was hired to drive the defendant and
some friends from Judd-place to Westminster-hall.
Whether owing to an accidental omission, or to his ex-
treme anxiety as to the result of the proceeding, Mr.
Grindall omitted to discharge the coachman, who declared
that he remained in waiting front the time he set down
his fare until half-past eleven o'clock at night, when the
Jury returned their verdict. The coachman produced two
witnesses to prove this fact, and
Sir It. BramE was reluctantly compelled to decide
against Ur. Grindall. It was a had job altogether, and
as matters had turned out, he could have wished to ad-
judge differently. The office fee, however, should not be
demasummonsed, but the coachman's demand and the summons
Must be paid.
The Clerk—You are to pay ii. 155., Sir.
Mr. Grindall looked at his solicitor, who desired the
coachman to call upon him for the amount.
The coachman, however, declined to accede to this ar-
rangement, and
The Clerk observed, that Mr. Grindall must remain in
custody until the amount should be settled.
Sir R. BIRNIE should be very eorry to put Mr. Grindall
to so much inconvenience, and told the coachman he had
better take the gentleman's word.
-Mr. Grindall said, however unfortunate he had been,
he had no other intention than to pay the coachman his
just demand, and he pledged himself that it should be
satisfied.
The coachman reluctantly consented to call upon Mr.
Grindall's friend in the course of the day, and the parties
retired.

UNION.HALL.
A Mr. Yeakell was brought up in custody on the corn-
Plaint of his wife Jane, who charged him with cutting
nearly all the hair off her head.
The complainant, on taking her station opposite to the
Magistrate, pulled off her bonnet and cap, and exhibited
the'rava,,es committed on her auburn locks, the whole of
her hair having been closely shorn off, back and front. The
poor woman appeared in great trouble about the loss of so
necessary an appendage to female beauty, and with tears in
her eyes bewailed her bard fate. She then described the
circumstances that led her husband to commit such an act,
hY saying that they bad a few words together relative to
lotne domestic affairs early on the preceding evening, and
as she considered, after the fracas was over, the defendant
Would have thought no more about the matter, they went
friendly to rest together. He, however, lay awake until
she was asleep, and then cut her hair to be revenged. She
slept so soundly that she did not awake while under the
operation of the scissors; but the next morning she was
horror-struck on beholding about 31b. of her hair cut off
lYing on the counterpane before her eyes. On seeing the
havock that had been committed at the time she was in-
capable of resistance, she certainly used harsh language to-
wards her husband for so cowardly an act, and in the
height of his dispute he threatened her life, and she was
actually afraid he would do her some bodily harm.
SWABEY condemned the very improper means re-
'lotted to by the defendant towards his wife for her sup-
Pfted misconduct.
The defendant declared, that if ever a man was cursed
With wife possessed of a fiery and impetuous temper, he
na the man. On the occasion she spoke of, she irritated
4141 to the utmost, and rather than strike her, or have re-
'parse to violent measures, he waited for the opportunity
%lie she was asleep, and cut off her hair as described.
/le Was aware that the loss of her hair would vex her
More than anything else, so he clipped her cicsely.
The wife having declared that she went in bodily fear of
the defendant, and as a proof adduced the threatening
language he used, the Magistrate held him to bail.
