When the gaoler was conducting Vizard from the
bar, the voice of a female' amongst the crowd was
heard. " I'm blessed" said the woman, "if I don-%,•
sarve you out for this go, Mrs. Abbott."
The LORD MAYOR—What's that ? The Woma—
n say, -my Lord, that I'll sarve her out for what she
has just: done to my husband. She's served him
out with the bars of a gaol, and I'm blowed if I don't
sarve her out in my way. That's all, and .I will do it.
The LORD MAYOR—Take that woman into cus-
tody, officer, and put her to the bar.
Mrs. Vizard was then brought forward : her coun-
tenance betrayed the very extreme of rage.
" What do you mean," said the LORD MAYOR,
"by serving this poor woman out ?' " Mrs.
Vizard—l mean that I'll do for her. .
'I he LORD MAYOR—Very well ! we must see
whether we can't protect her. Ido not think it safe
to expose her to the fury of such a person as you.
Mrs.Vizard—You may depend upon it you never
got it until I give it you. Oh, see if .I don't.
The LORD MAYOR—Are you prepared with bail ?
I shall require substantial bail on this occasion. Mrs.
Vizard—Oh, dear, yes. She then called to some
friends who had accompanied her, and asked them
to enter into securities for her good conduct. " De-
pend upon it," said she, "I'll not break out until the
time of the bail is gone by." Her friends, however,
slunk away, and she was lefr alone at the bar with
her
.husband, nobody having stood forward as her
security.

The LORD MAYOR ordered that husband and wife
should be put into the cage.
This incident operated well for the poor • woman
who had-been plundered. Vizard, after having been
about an hour with his wife in the cage; and after
having patiently,borne her reproaches, thought proper
to produce the amount fQr which the spoons were
pawned, and thus procured his liberation. His wife,
however, who could not bear the idea of being locked
up without a companion, adopted a plan for her own
liberation, aud.actually, sent to the Lord Mayor her
compliments, and requested to be allowed to hare a
few words with him.

His Lordship, who is polite to the fair sex under
all circumstances, ordered that Mrs. Vizard should
be brought before him.

The confinement worked a very palpable reform
in the dejected Mrs. Viiard. •
" Well," said his Lordship, "how do you like the
cage ?"—Mrs. Vizard, in tears, deplored that her
language had been misunderstood by his Lordship.
She meant by "carving out" that she *004" sarve
Mrs. A bbott out in law—nothingelse."---(Laughter.)
—Sbe had no idea of knocking her head about.
The LORD MAYOR—Oh, if you meant that sort
of " sarving out," its quite a different thing, and the
gentlemen of the bar will be much obliged to you :
however, 1 won't trust you altogether; your hus-
band must be bail for you.—(Langluer.)
Vizard looked rather gloomy at this intimation, but
at length consented, and the case ,terminated.
