was brought before Mr. JEREMY for creating a disturbance
in front of his shop.
Mr. Brooks stated that since the unfortunate olcurrence
of Miss Moyes jumping from the Monument, until it was
ascertained who the unfortunate individual was, his house
had been one scene of disorder, in consequence of a report
that it was his divorced wife who had precipitated herself
from thence. She, however, had come in front of his house
notwithstanding what had passed a very few days pre
viously at another police-office, and made such a noise and
disturbance as to collect a crowd. She was evidently
under the influence of liquor at the time.
Mr. JEREMY observed that it was a lamentable case ;
that be was quite aware from the number of times she had
appeared before him, she was thoroughly lost to all sense
of duty, that he feared it would be useless to attempt to
render her any service. There was no doubt her father
was a highly respectable man, but how could be receive
her amongst the other me mbcrs of his family after she had
disgraced herself, and had been divorced from her hus-
band; and, in addition to which, she was an inveterate
drunkard, the commencement of her ruin and degradation.
Mr. Brooks made some observae ions upon the fal3ehood
of the statement the defendant had made when lately at
another police-office. He produced a copy of the divorce'
obtained against his wife for a breach of conjugal rights,
and said that although he was absolved from all further
connection with such a woman, yet that he had given, and
was still disposed to advance, as much money as would take
her to her family, in order that he might not be subjected to
the disagreeable annoyance cf her coining in a state of in-
toxication before his door and causing a disturbance.
The defendant, who is extremely well-looking, and was
perfectly sober when brought into Court, begged to be
forgiven, and said that she should not trouble Mr. Brooks
any more if she were permitted to go th's time.
Mr. Brooks, however, said that she had made so many
promises of this kind, that he had no reliance in them.
The Magistrate said that he should consider her a single
woman after the prosecution of the divorce, and require
her to enter into her recognizances for her good behaviour
for the next three months.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR.ROWLAND

HILL.

The inhabitants of Wolverhampton have taken the
lead in presenting to Mr. Hill a testimonial expresstve
of their gratitude for his successful exertions is obtain- '
ing for the entire community so great a benefit as the
uniform penny postage is calculated to confer. On Sa-
turday last a most respectable meeting of gentlemen
connected with the principal commercial houses, and
other influential inhabitants of the neighbourhood, met
at the Assembly Rooms in that town—when Mr.
Hill
was introduced to the meeting by Dr. Delivered and 1
the chair taken by J. Weaver, -"Zsq., who dan
eloquent address explanatory of the object for which
they were assembled, expressing the strongest
anticipations of its salutary results both on the na-
tional character and its public revenues, and con-
veyed to Mr. Hill the thanks of the inhabitants of
Wolverhampton, in which all men of all parties cordially
concurred, for the intelligence, labour, and perseverance
he had shown in the cause, and which were now crowned
with success. Mr. Weaver, in the name of the meeting,
presented the testimonial, which was manufactured at
the Soho Plate Works, and consists of an elegant can-
delabrum, weighing one hundred and seventy-four
ounces, convertible into an epergne, and which, when
placed upon a plateau, produces an excellent effect. The
candelabrum consists of a fluted column, ornamented
with foliage and flowers. The column is surmounted
by four richly decorated branches, the centre ornament
consisting of a globe resting upon acanthus leaves, which
supports the figure of a winged Mercury, inoJelled from I
the celebrated statue of John of Bologna. The figure \
bears in one hand the caduceus, and in the other a
letter. The base is divided into four compartments, one
of which bears the arms of Mr. Hill, and another the
following inscription :
" To Rowland Hill, al., presented by the Inhabi-
tants of Wolverhampton, is testimony of their high
sense of his public services, as the Founder and able
Advocate of the Plan of a Univeesal Penny Postage.
A.D. 1839."
Mr. Hid, in a neat speech, acknowledged the com-
pliment paid to him by the inhabitants of Wolverhamp-
ton ; and, after a short address by the Rev. S. Hunter,
who dwelt on the improvement which the alteration
was calculated to confer on the social condition of the
middling and poor classes of society, by facilitating the
intercourse of mind with mind, the meeting broke up
after three hearty cheers to Mr. Hill.
