HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Mary Lynch, a formal-looking Irishwoman,
was brought before Messrs. BENNETT and RUGERs by the
parish officers of St. Pancras, for the purpose of being
passed to a lunatic asylum. The unfortunate woman was,
of the Catholic persuasion, which she pursued to fanaticism,
and she laboured under a delusion that her priest was in
love with her, that he had married her, and his sprit was
constantly with her. About a fortnight ago, whilst he was
celebrating mass at the chapel in Clarendon-square, Somers-
towp, she made her way through the congregation, and,

climbing over the railings before the altar, she rushed to-
wards him and attempted to embrace him, but was prevented
and given into custody, when it was ascertained t 1 :'t she
was a lunatic.

Dr. Roberts had examined her, and -she was decidedly,
deranged. He asked her whether her priest had not mar-
ried her ? Lynch (solemnly)-- Oh bless hitn,
yes.
Dr. Roberts—When did you last see him ? Lynch—
I see him every night. He was with me last night when
was in bed. His spirit came and laid upon me, and hugged
me so (putting her hands upon her neck; and pressing
herself).
The Magistrates thought this quite sufficient to justify
them in signing an order for her liamission into a lunatic
asylum._

Another melancholy instance of religious fanaticism in
James Abbott, a young
Town, was brought ,nan, a hair dresser of Somers'
be;.7ore the magistrates for the same
purpose as the ahoy, . The lunatic it appeared was in a
respectable way of
that he 1r business until he joined a religious sect,
where he devoted himself so over assiduously to their forms
beer- raving mad, and he was obliged to be con-
ftn°ll in 4 straight waistcoat, and nothing could be elicited
from hiv..i except that " his old black silk hat Had gone to
11-11 • ,

~i he Doctor—Where is your old black silk bat?
Abbott—Gone to h—II, or at least I hope so, for if it is
not, I hall never go to glory.
'file order was signed for his admission, and the unfor-
tunate man, on being led from the office, gave expression to
the most blasphemous language.

Witlima Hcn6k, a sanctified-looking elderly man, was
finally examined on various charges of obtaining money
under false and fraudulent pretences, when the office was
crowded by clergymen and gentlemen connected with cha-
ritable institutions, upon whom the prisoner had practised
his deceptions. The Rev. Mr. E. N. Short, Rector of the
parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, stated that about a fort-
night ago, whilst he was in his study, the prisoner called at
his house, and requested an interview, which being granted,
he represented that he was an agent employed by the
Committee of the Episcopal Floating Chapel," and re-
quested a subscription. He produced one of the Reports
of the Society, and, under the impression that he was an
authorised person, he advanced him one guinea, and he
quitted the house. • Witness was subsequently informed
that he had been duped, and that the prisoner, who was an
impostor, was apprehended. Several other charges of a
similar nature were made against the prisoner.
The prisoner was fully committed on the several charges.

• MARLBORO UGH-STREET. •
A tailor from Cork-street and a young medical man from
the same neighbourhood came before the Bench on an as-
sault warrant. To corroborate his case the Doctor was
provided with a black eye, and to strengthen his defence
the, tailor brought with him a green morocco memorandum
book and a solicitor.

The case having been called on, the doctor, ns com-
plainant, begun—'. On Wednesday I went to this person's

Tailor—Wait a minute. I'm not quite prepared—(whip-
ping out his green memorandum-book, and sharpening Ins
pencil.) Now, Sir, proceed.
Doctor—l called to see a particular friend, upon whom I
have been attending► professionally ; but I was told the gen-
tleman was not nt home. I was certain he was within, and
I said I would wait in the passage until I saw him, upon
which the defendant came out of his shop, insisted on my
leaving the house, and ultimately hit me a punch with tho
handle of his umbrella.

Tailor—Perjury, and I'll prove 4.---(writing " handle of
an umbrella"—it was my walking-Yliek.)
Doctor—He then struck ma a blow on the face and ap-
plied opprobrious epithets.

to oblige you to leave the Doctor—l think he pushed
me further than ne( esr
Tailor—Ha! Ittally false! My whole establishment can
prove I did not.l:,ush him further than the passage.

Mi.koisTuATE—Your conduct is extremely improper, and
Ir:ust request you will conduct yourself with more respect
guile you are in this office.
Tailor—l offer ten thousand apologies. I never har-
boured the remotest intention of offering disrespect to the
criminal jurisprudence of my country. A highly comic
thought having crossed my mind it caused me to give way
to au ebullition of merriment. Am I now permitted to enter
on my &fence ?

MAGISTRATE—You can proceed.
The tailor here elbowed a passage right and left, and
threw himself into a Dernosthenie attitude. " Fortunately,"
said he, flourishing his green memorandum book, " the
strong points are already registered. It will now only be
necessary for me to give a succinct account of this very re-
markabletray.isaction. This person did call-to see a gentle-
m.u► stayi'►g at my house, and knowing that the indisposi-
tion of i!►e gentleman had been brought on by want of
mediedl skill on ti►e part of the defendant, I determined
at. all risk to prevent his ingress into the chamber of the
invalid. With this view I stationed myself at the third
stair, and, with my walking-stick, assumed an attitude
which no prudent man would have ventured to disturb.
The defendant insisted on passing. I remonstrated—l►e at-
tacked me--I defended myself—and, after a short, but des-
perate combat, succeeded in placing him on his back in
the passage. To this single statement I feel it is quite un-
necessary to add another syllable (retiring to the back of
the office), except (coming forward) to impress on the
Bench the right every British subject possesses of ejecting
intruders from his house. It is impossible to say another
word on the subject (retiring again)—only this (cominc,
forward)—that as an educated person, I consider the use of
opprobious epithets is unfit for a man—improper—
Magistrate—Pray, Sir, be quiet.
Tailor—lmproper for a gentleman, and disgraceful to a
member of

him.)

community.

The Magistrate being of opinion that the complainant
ought not to have persisted in remaining in the house, and,
considering that there was a doubt as to the person who
committed the first assault, discharged the warrant on the
payment of a shilling by the defendant.

HAMBURGH, FEB. 28, 1837.
ALL those who may have to write to us are re-
quested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH;
but neither the denomination BANKERS, or LOTTERY CON-
TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on
the Address ; and Letters directed
HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH,
without any furt.ler remarks or description, will do for any Branch
of our multifarious Tinsiness. We beg further to observe, that a
Letter with one encloure doubles the postage only, but several en-
closures would by far increase the same • thus 201. 401, or 801.,
for instance, if remitted h., one Bank of England Note would only
cause double postage ; but >'ol. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes,
or Four Five-pound Notes, would be liable to a much higher
charge. It is, therefore, most a‘lvisable for those having to remit
money to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible,
in One Note, or One Check, or one 17ank Post Bill, &c. &c. The
same is advisable on receiving Money from Hamburgh. Of course,
large sums, to be received from Hamburg2', amounting to some or
many thousands may rather be received in .Bills of Exchange on
London.
All those having to give any Orders for sue Branches of our
Business as CANNOT BE EXECUTED LATI.-.R THAN BY
THE MAIL FROM HAMBURG II OF THE 28th MARCH,
are requested TO LOSE NO TIME IN FORWARD:NG THE
SAME, and to FOR WARD THEM BY THE REGULAR
STEAMER, as the Post via France takes too long. The
LONDON STEAMER

of the 21st and 24th of March will be
THE LAST MAILS
that can be expected to reach Hamburgh before the 28th of March.
HEINE BROTHERS.
