ATROCIOUS ASSAULT.-oil Monday, one
John Holt, an ordinary-looking young fellow, was brought
before the Magistrates at Rochdale, and remanded on a
charge of a most cruel assault on his wife, who was unable
to walk to the court in consequence of wounds on the legs
from kicks given her by the ruffian at the bar. Mr. Chad-
wick, the overseer of Wuerdle and Wardle was present,
hut took no part in the proceedings against the prisoner.
It would seem, however, that John Holt, the father of the
prisoner, and as great a brute as his son, supposed Mr.
Chadwick had interfered to his son's prejudice ; end in con-
sequence of that suspicion, he followed Mr. Chadwick ont
of Tipping's, the Waggon and Horses public-house, at
Small Bridge, on the same night; and overtaking him, he
cursed him, knocked him down in the road and kicked him
dreadfully on the face, body, and limbs; after which he
took to his heels, and ren across the road. It was quite
moonlight, and Mr. Chadwick knew the fellow, and spoke
to him, lie then returned to the public-house, and got
the constable, Mr. Howarth, to accompany him home.
The scoundrel was brought to the police-office. on Wednes-
day, and, in default of paying a fine of 5/., was committed
for two months.—Manchester Guardian.

FiTzwALTERS.—We last week gave an account
of the destruction of this mansion by fire. In 1301, the
estate wasethe property of Robert Earl of Fi'zwalter. The
house was built by John Morecroft, EFq., in the seventeenth
century, after an Italian model, and was an object of gene-
ral observation and curiosity, being of an octagonal form.
Notwithstanding this singular shape, each floor contained
four square rooms, the centre of the house being occupied
by the chimneys : staircases filled up two of the interven*
ing spaces between the square rooms, and the remainder
formed small triangular apartments, devoted to dressing
rooms, closets, &c. The interior was built chiefly of timber,
the girders being of very large dimensions. Fitzwalters
was many years the property and country residence of
Thomas Wright, Esq., the banker, of Henrietta-street, of
whose representatives the late Mr. Hall, grandfather of the
present possessor, purchased the property.—Essex Herald.

COItPSE LEFT IN THE. CHURCH WITHOUT
INTERMENT.—A short time ago application was made by a
poor woman to the Rev. R. Jones, curate of Ilkeston, in
order to have her sister interred on the Sunday The
Rev. Gentleman, without hesitation, met her request by a
positive denial, adding that they must bring the body on
Saturday. The woman endeavoured to persuade him to
alter Lis mind, by stating that her deceased's sister's hus-
band was a poor man residing in Nottingham, and could
not be in possession of the requisite fees until six o'clock
on Saturday night; and that her brother, a coal-Niggler,
could not bring the body on any other day. These argu-
ments failed to convince Mr. Jones that it would be proper
to inter the corpse on the Sunday. Being informed dur-
ing the day that every arrangement had been entered into
by the other relatives of the deceased to inter the body on
Sunday, she sought a second interview with the Rev.
Gentleman, but he could not be found. She then told
the clerk that the body would positively be brought on
Sunday. On that day, about a quarter past four o'clock,
p.m., the relatives and friends advanced with the body of
the deceased towards the churchyard ; but their approach
was not announced by the mournful tolling of the bell; no
minister was there to meet them, nor even a grave pre-
pared for the reception of their dead. They deposited the
corpse in the church, which lay, as in state, to await the
period when it should please Mr. Jones to consign it to the
grave. None of the relatives appearing on the Monday, he
with the clerk and another person, performed the last
tribute of respect to the mortal remains of the deceased.—
Derby Reporter.
HACKNEY COACH NUlSANCE.—Yesterday
morning, at nine o'clock, the parochial authorities of St.
Marylebone commenced removing part of the long-existing
hackney-coach and cab nuisance, in various parts of Ox-
ford-street, where the stands were allowed, to the great
annoyance of the respectable inhabitants and shopkeepers.
At a meeting of the vestry gentlemen of the parish, at the
Court-house, held on the 9th ult., it was resolved that the
number of hackney-coaches, or cabs, should be limited, on
some stands, to only four of either vehicles, and five on
otbers, viz., the Portman-street stand, five; Bond-street,
four ; Bolsover-street, five ; Berners-street, four ; and
Charles• street, five. Painted boards are affixed, with the
above regulations, against the lamp-posts opposite the re-
respective stands. The parochial authorities are deter-
mined on carrying the above rigidly into execution, under
severe penalties to the offenders, which is highly gratifying
to the inhabitants, the nuisance having been previously
particularly great.
