LAMBETH-STREET.

A very jolly-looking :li fellow named Davidson, a pilot
at Limehouse, during the hours of business presented him-
self at the entrance to the Justice-room, and expressed a
strong desire to see the Magistrates. The officer on duty
perceiving him to be at least three sheets in the wind, and
having refused to state the nature of his business, hesitated
to admit him, upon which he expressed some indignation at
his refusal. "He had been," he said, " a boatswain on
board the Gloucester, 74, while his present Majesty, the
Duke of Clarence, served in that vessel, and spun many a
yarn to his Royal Highness, by whom he was not as yet
forgotten. He had also served at the battle of Navarino
under Sir Edward Codrington, and at several other engage-
ments, and it was hard," he continued, " that he could not
have a few words with their Honours."
Having at length been admitted, he was asked by Mr.
HARDWICK the nature of his business, or what he could do
for him ? Applicant—l want your Worship's advice about
my wife. I found her in Stepney churchyard in a very sus-
picious manner with a man, and I at once desired her to
leave him and come home with me ; but she refused to do
so unless he came home also ; so they both came, and I re-
peatedly asked my wife to come in doors.
Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, what do you want us to do for
you ? We cannot compel her to go home with you if she
does not like.
Applicant—l forgot to tell your Worships that I found
some letters from a soldier to my wife, a!:14 if she does not

W ORSHIP- STREET.
A tradesman of the name of Wiggins, living in Green"
street, Bethnal Green, appeared before Messrs. TwYrottv
and GROVE to a peace warrant, taken out by Mrs. Wig—
gins, charging him with putting her in fear of her life.
The complainant had been married to the defendant.
above twelve years, and they had four children, the eldest or
whom is twelve years old. She had led a very uncomfor—
table life for some months past, which latterly was so bael
that she was induced to take the present step.
Mr. TWYFORD—Why, what does he mean by such come
duct ? What has he done to you ? Complainant--.
Friday last he struck me, and took up a candlestick, wio°ll
he flung at my head ; and on Monday he stated to me the t
if I did not go away and leave him, he would be the de; it h
of me.
Mr. Twvrortn—l see a bundle by the side of you.
Complainant—When he told me that he would be • be
death of me if I did not leave, he took these clothes ou
eoof
tny drawer, and told me to put them on and leave, threa
i
ng that if I refused he would put the clothes on the &re,
when, as I persisted in nit putting them on, he placed t'ol
on the fire.
The defendant did not deny the charge, but alleged Chat
it was the wife's temper which was the cause of his condo
No one could be more comfortable than the complains nt,
who went to Church when she pleased, and did as sir,
liked. She had a shop to look after, and so long as she: diu
not interfere they agreed very well together, and might be,
the happiest couple in the world. She took the rel tit °I
three freehold houses, and made use of the money in- her

business.
Mr. TwYFoRD—It is quite lamentable to see you ;0 °,ll
in this way, when you seem to do so well in the work'
What is the reason of it ?—Defendant—She toi vents
me—she nags me cruelly.
Mr. TwYFoRD—Why, what does she do ?—r)efendant
—When I return home, she asks me, " Where have Y°ll
been ?" I reply, " What is that to you? Let me aloir t°
attend to my business, and you attend to yours. will 0 .
away altogether." She then calls me a good-fo e-nothl
rogue, and accuses me of being false. A few day S agl3.,
put forty sovereigns on the table, and told her to pint thew
in the drawer. She refused to do so until I had lei t her.
Mr. TWYFORD—You hear what he says.
Complainant—The fact is, our tempers do not ag Tee.
A person here stepped forward, of demure cast of coun-
tenance which seemed not to have been enlivened by $
smile for many a day. He stated that he had kmovi° the
complainant twenty-four years, and that she was a sertwis'
steady woman. No one could be more industrious..
The defendant, who observed that he did not w, int any
stranger to interfere between him and his partner, will then
held to bail.
