MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The two Mrs. Smiths, of Portland-court, next-door
neighbours, but in no way related, curie to the office, the
one to complain, and the other to explain, matters relating
to a box on the ear which the fattest of the two had inflicted
on her neighbour.
Fat Mrs. Smith had a favourite4bby, for whose moral
rectitude she was particularly solicitous, and well knowing. •
th it her neighbour had a tortoiseshell torn, whose caterwaul-
ing propensities made him a general fainurite with the feline
tabbies of the neighbourhood, she teok more than common
precatuiun to keep the character of her charge perfectly im-
maculate. The tabby, however, was not at all dispos7d to
second the ticws of her squeamish mistress, and having
already acquired something more than a mere penchant for
the whiskers of her tortoiseshell admirer, she tried various
stratagems to aceotuiTsh a nearer acquaintance. Fat
Mrs. Smith, on Saturday last, locked miss tabby in the
garret, and, believing, her to be secure from all amatory,
visits, neglected the precaution of shutting down the win-
tbitv ; for tortoiseshell torn happened to be reconnoitering
just at that moment on the housetop, and his beseeching
enolrows having been responded to by the complying wow-
wows of his fair one, he quickly made his way along the
p irapet and presented his whiskers at the window. Same
uopropitious deity, willing to afford- another illustration of
the amatory axiom that " the course of true love never
doth run smooth," sent fat Mrs. Smith into the garret on
some errand which required the use of a mopstick. No
sooner did she spy the manoeuvre of the tortoiseshell-wooer
than without inure ado she lent him a whack on his' crup-
pe-r which tumbled him into the area below; and f r some
time rend red him oblivious of ail mundane matters. Word
having been brought to short Smith of the tvolul plight
of her tofu she ran into the house of fat Mrs. Smith, and,
on opening her errand, was quickly complimented with the
weight of her fat neighbour's fat fist.
Mr. CONANT said it was strange that women took such
fancies to cats, and pointed out the folly of neighbours fal-
ling nut about such triflus.

The ladies, however, were too warm to be pacified, se
the warrant was discharged, after a small fine was inflicted
on. the defendant.

UNION HALL.

Yesterday Jane Ekes, a young female, with a profusion
of showy-coloured ribbons in her cap, was charged with
violently assaulting her mother, an elderly woman.
The complainant was a widow, and the . defendant
(her daughter) lived with her, and, by her extravagance
in dress, had nearly redUced her to the condition of a pau-
per. On Saturday last, in consequence of her refusal to
give her daughter two shillings to purchase ribbons, the
latter, exasperated at it, struck her a violent blow, the mark
of which was still visible on her body.
Mr. JEREMY asked her if she had any witness who was
present when the assault was committed ? Complainant—
Yes, I have a most essential witness.
She then beckoned to a little bald-headed old man, with
a remarkably long nose, who stood some little distance off,
saying, " Come forward, Mr. Goddard, and say all you
know on the point." Mr. Goddard immediately answered
the call, and soon stood next to Mrs. Elmes, by whose
side he looked like a minikin, she being a tall corpulent
woman. The daughter, on seeing Mr. Goddard, directly
exclaimed, " That little man is the cause of all our dis-
putes. Although he has one foot in the grave, yet my
mother and he live together like man and wife, and, tq get
rid of me, they have trumped up this charge against me."
Mr. JEREMY asked the witness if he could give any evi-
dence against the defendant, and his reply was, that lie saw
her strike her mother between four and five years ago, but
not since.

The complainant then denied that any improper intimacy
existed between her and Mr. Goddard, as her daughter
represented, and that she (the mother) had only lived
with him at one period as his housekeeper. The old gen-
tleman was 76 years of age, and it was ridiculous to suppose
anything improper.
Mr. JEREMY was bound to believe the false and un-
founded nature of the aspersions thrown out by the daugh-
ter against her mother ; and as the assault was proved he
should make the former find bail to keep the peace.
The daughter having found the requisite bail was then
liberated, and her mother expressed her determination not
to permit her to " darken her doors" again.

WORSHIP_ STREET.
Yesterday a man of the name of Hardy, a coach-painter,
and a woman named Davies, were placed at the bar be-
fore Messrs. CODD and BROUGHTON for re-examination,
charged with having committed a desperate assault upon
Brown, Tilt, and Eagles, officers of the establishment, while
conveying the prisoners from the office to the prison van.
In consequence of the blows which Tilt received he was
prevented from attending to his duties.
Hardy was fined 205., or one raonth's imprisonment ;
and Davies Ios., or fourteen days' imprisonment.

THAMES- OFFICE.
Yesterday 2[r. John Wri.ght, a respectable ship-rigger,
was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE, on a charge of
stealing an axe, a handsaw, a screw bolt, and other ar-
ticles, the property of Thomas Bullock.
After hearing the facts of the case, Mr. BALLANTINE
expressed himself perfectly satisfied that there was no
foundation for the charge, and that the prisoner left tl:e
bar without any imputation on his character.
The prisoner was then told he was at liberty to depart
when he pleased.

Mr. Gaily Knight gave an elegant dinner yester-
day at his house iu Lower Grosvenor-street.
