HA'TTON GARDEN.

Yesterday Joseph Ford, a pale-faced fellow, about.thirty
years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with having
cut and stabbed Margaret Philips, so that her life is iu

daunt:.

Police constable 178 G, yesterday morning, about three
o'clock, received information that a woman had been stab-
bed at a house in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, and on
proceeding thither he found a young woman bleeding pro-
fusely from several wounds on her person, and, the prisoner
being pointed out as having inflicted them, he took him
into custody, when he confessed that they had had a quar-
rel, and he wounded her in. taking a. knife from her. The
prisoner was committed.

Yesterday several aged persons, keeping houses in the
Lower Liberty of Saffron-hill and St. Andrew's, Holborn,
appeared before Messrs. BENNETT and LAING, pursuant
to appointment, in order that evidence might be produced
to prove their pauperistn,,.agreeably,to.t4seirculated regu-
lations of the Poor Law Commission;sr,s, which. requires
that such course shatild" be aapt,,reparatgry to their
being excused from the payment of the_poor-rate..
tria Faulkner, an aged woman, a widow, nearly
blind, was the first called on.

She kept a small house for many years for which she
paid 171. per year, and she derived support from the rent
of her lodgers ; but latterly she was unable to pay the rates.
Mr. West, the churchwarden, proved that the defen-
dant was a poor widow, who was in the habit of receivinc,
a loaf every Sunday from a charity called " The Church-
warden's Fund." There were twenty-one on the list of
claimants -who were recommended as persons unable to
maintain themselves. Mr. Rodwell, the Curate, had re-
commended her.

Mr. LAING asked whether her receiving the loaf every
Sunday induced a belief that she was too poor to pay the
rates ? Mr. West replied in the affirmative.
The vestry clerk said they would not press the case.
Mr. LAING informed her that if she remained in the
house, she should pays the rates.
She was now excused, conditionally that she would quit
the house on the ground of her poverty.
Frances Ward, another aged widow, was excused under
similar circumstances, and told she must quit the house.
Defendant—l do not know what to do.

Mr. LAING—Why, as others do, take a lodging.
In other cases the pauperism of the parties was proved,
and they were excused, conditionally that they should quit
their houses.

QUEEN- S QUARE.
Ann Paule, alias Haygive, the wife of a broker residing
in Charles-street, Westminster, who was described by a
policerrlan of the A division, a few days ago, as a very re-
spectable housekeeper, was yesterday charged with fortune-
telling.
Mrs. Ellen Brown went to the defendant's yesterday
morning, and asked for Mrs. Haygive, and stated that she

wanted to ask her a few important questions. Mrs. Paul;

immediately invited her into the back parlour, and then,
having said, " My dear, I'll answer you," handed a dirty
pack of cards to complainant to shuffle, which she did. She
was then requested to " wish," a matter which she also
complied with. Defendant then laid the cards out in divers
ways, after having cut them several times. After cogitating
a few minutes she said, " My dear, you have had a great
deal of sickness during the last year, but you won't have so
much this year." After this important communication sbe
paused, had another peep into futurity, and then continued,
" You'll have two husbands, one will be a fair man, and the
other exceedingly dark." The cards then underwent another
twist, and the lady who had the reputation of " telling so
true, pitifully concluded, by informing Mrs. Brown that
she would have nine children, but that three only would
live. Having received all this consolation, Mrs. Brown in-
quired what she had to pay, and was told whatever com-
pliment she thought proper. Complainant then gave her
2s. A warrant was immediately afterwards granted at this

office, and the " clever woman" was soon placed before the
Magistrates. She did not deny the offence, and was com-
mitted for fourteen days.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday William Bennett and Louisa Ferdusson were
placed at the bar before AlOESri. CODD and GaoyE,
charged with uttering counterfeit sixpences. They were
remanded.

A BEGGING IMPOSTOR.—Harriet Webb was brought up
in the custody of George Chapman, a Mendicity Society
officer. With her was a youth who was stated to be an
idiot, and which from his manner appeared painfully evi-
dent. He was unable to speak, and he was obliged to be
carried by his mother, as Ile had lost the use of his leg:.
Powell, a streetkeeper of Shoreditch, stated that the
prisoner was one of the most sturdy beggars he had to deal
with. He always had much trouble with her.

Mr. Conn—the boy is quite a fortune to you.
Prisoner—Oh no, Sir ; 1 get work when I c.in.
Officer—She said that she could get a living in the way
she did with the boy. Several persons said that such a
pitiable object as the boy ought to be placed in the work-
house.

Mr. Copt/—You must go to prison for ten days.
Prisoner (crying)—What is to become of my child ?
Mr. CoDD—That will be taken care of in the workhouse
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

pose of revising the lists which stood over from the last by.

Mr. TAMLYN said he would look into the Act before
giving his decision.

Mr. Baylis supported the claims.---Judgment was deferred.
