MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mary Balite was yesterday brought before Mr. Co-
NANT, charged with having robbed a ready furnished room,
which she occupied in Poulter-street, St. Anne's. A se-
cond charge for deserting her three infant children, was
brought against her.
In defence, the woman said that her husband, who Is a
tailor, and who had been out of 'work for a consV.erable
time, had deserted her, and, ;:n order to support herself, she
had been compelled tq 1-,:iedge the articles in her room.
When she hoard that the landlord was coming up to ask for
the rent, she rar out of the house in a fright, to ask her
mother to bake up the trifle for which the articles were
pawned, that she might redeem them. Her mother could
not do and thing until eight o'clock that evening, and
being afraid if she returned home the landlord would
give her into custody, she resolved to wait about in the
streets until the evening. She declared that nothing was
further from her intentions than to desert her children.
Mr. CONANT sail, if the matter was not arranged during
the day he should punish her for her misconduct.
Denuis Bryant, a journeyman tailor, was charged with
having assaulted Mary Sullivan, a tailoress in her own right.
Mrs. Sullivan said she was busily employed on the shop-
board last Saturday, when a customer called in with a pair
of smallcothes to new seat. She employed the defendant
to conduct this delicate operation, and as he, in executing
it, discovered himself to be a perfect master of the mystery
of " thimble lie she confided other jobs to him,
which
were not finished until night. When they came to reckon
the value of the days labour, a difference of three halfpence
occurredbetween them. The defendant refused to relin-
quish his claim, and having put himself in a prodigious pas-
sion, he pulled off his coat, tied his handkerchief round his
waist, and called upon her to take a part Pin a ug'''
stic
duel. She ran out of the room, upon wich *tie defendant

an ~er husband contrived to place him outside of the door
and in charge of a policeman.
The defence was that when a demand was made for what
was lawfully due, the complainant called her husband to
kick him down stairs. The husband came at her call, seized
a red-hot smoothing iron, and, running at him, compelled
him to make a hasty exit, In his hurry to get out of the

had been obliged to insert a fresh piece of cloth on the M,
and he had received another scorch which the same opera-
tion could not in the least benefit. •
The complainant asserted that the smoothing-iron mat-
ter was pure invention. The prisoner had bitten her finger
nearly off.
Defendant—And you scratched my face.
Husband—rou knocked me down and danced on my ribs.
• Defendant—And you burnt me with the smoothing-iron.
The Magistrates were of opinion the assaults were pretty
nearly, balanced, but as the defendant had wantonly broken
a door, he was ordered to pay 10s. for the damage, or go to
prison for seven days.
John Brown, a chummy in the last stage of filth, and
bcgrimmed with soot, was charged with having taken a half-
sovereign from the person o Eizabeth Mulholland, a
worthy rival to the prisoner in disgusting appearance.
The prisoner, when asked what he could say on the mat-
ter, prepared himself for an oration, and after looking round
for proper attention, delivered himself as follows :—" yer
Voship, I feels kite seprised at the ordacious arsetions of
that ere ooman. I knows nothing vatsomedever in no
manner of the little yellar boy she is miners of ; and when
I purlitely made a declaration to that ere effec, I'm blest if
she didn't give out the worsest expressions that ever
()omen's tongue laid hold on. Now, yer Voship, I ban con-
fidently ax any man or ooman as is sich, to took at my

propadicler any day in the veek after three o'clock. Any
how, my vord is as good as any drunken consarn's like her.
So please yer Voship, seeing the impossibility, and more,
overer the unlikeherood that I'd filch a mag, I hop you'll
let me go to vork, from this very unhansum chaisgees." So
saying he wiped his mouth with the back of hi'
.4 hand, and
looked around for applause,

Mrs. Mulheholland called as witness a person who was pre-
when s was dri`.king at the public-house but, to
her utter consternailon, he declared that he had never seen
the sooty individual at the bar before.
The party accused was accordingly dismissed, and he left.
the Office with a look in which injured innocence appeared
beamini,; through the dusky coating of his visage.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Yesterday a young man, whose whole dress consisted of
a threadbare soldier's jacket, canvass trowsers considerably
the worse for wear, a pair of old shoes, and a shocking bad
Gossamer, and being without shirt, cravat, waistcoat, or
stockings, applied to JOHN HARDWICK, Esq., and two
county Magistrates, for their humane interference to pre-
serve him from perishing in the streets from hunger and
wretchedness.
The applicant had been. brought up to the medical pro-
fession, an a' had obtained his diploma from the College of
SurgP'ons in Dublin. Having a near relative a surgeon in
`i;panish regiment, he volunteered to
go out to that
country with the British Legion, in the hope 'that his re-
lative, by his interest, would procure his promotion in his
profession. On arriving in Spain he was appointed as dis-
penser of medicine to the 7th Irish regiment, at an allow-
ance of 2s. 6d. a-day, and his relation having died shortly
afterwards, he gave up all thoughts, or even hopes, of
preferment ; but at the same time had ur) great fault to
find with his situation, as he was rather comfortable than
otherwise. During the engagement. at St.- Sebastian, he
was taken prisoner by the Carlists, and with 73 others, who
were also captured, conveyed to the rear of the Cr-rlist's
line, and being stripped of their clothes and sw'ora never
again to join in the Queen's service, was est:el:led by a
strong military guard into the frontiers of Frr.nce. They
were subsequently marched through France by a French
military escort, and ultimately put on boa-rd a vessel, and
landed at Dover, in a most deplorable an a wretched state.
On Friday morning last he arrived in Viwn, and on Satur-
day he wrote to his brother, a respec.olle clergyman in the
south of Ireland, acquainting hint of his wretched condi-
tion, and requesting immediate AP sistance. It would be
impossible for him to receive an answer to that letter before
Saturday or Monday, and hav'ir,g not a single friend in the
metropolis to whom he coal-,1 apply, or a farthing to pro-
cure him the common necf:ls'saries of life, he was inuced to
make the present applica:ci.on.

THAMES-OFFICE.
Ye:Aerday Charles Johnson, a costermonger, was brought
beff,re Mr. BALLANTINE, for final examination, on a charge
of stealing a large quantity of pewter pots, belonging to
'various Licensed Victuallers.
Mr. BALLANTINE asked tho prisoner what he had to say
in his defence ? Prisoner—l can say nothing. I was a
long time without provisions and without work, and I could
not starve.
Mr. BALLANTINE—If you had been caught with one
pot only your story might have had some effect, but you was
detected with a bag full. Prisoner—Why I picked 'em
up in the road, I thought it was no use seeing them lying
about.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Where do you come from ? Pri-
soner—From the country to be ware. There is nothing to
be picked up there but starvatirab
Mrs. Moses, a marine story-dealer to whose house the
prisoner had brought the Dots, was questioned as to her
knowledge of the prisoner, and she said she had never seen
him until he placed. the ''oag of pots in the scale.
Mr. BALLANTINE—...It is quite clear he knew where to
come to, or he wouhl_ not have walked into your shop with
a sack full of stolen pots ; and if Lewis had not been so
close upon him, we should never have heard of the pro-
perty again.
Mrs. Nl•Jses—l don't know howiit is, your Worship, he
should b•Ave selected my shop and put the pots in the scale.
Mr. BALLANTINE—It is very clear.--(A laugh.) Mint-
street is not far from the prosecutor's houses, Mrs. Moses.
Mrs. Moses—Dear me, it is very odd indeed.—(More
laughter.)
Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall commit the prisoner for trial.
Prisoner—What ! for picking up publican's pots ; sure
your Worship don't mean that.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I do, indeed, and I shall bind over
the Licensed Victuallers to prosecute.
The prisoner was then sent to Newgate.

EXPULSION OF A CORONER AND
JURY FROM AN INQUESZ:ROOM.

On Friday evening last a poor man named Ambrose
James and his wife Diana James t•Jok a night's lodging at
the house of a small shoemaker of the name of Ward, at
Hounslow. Tile unfortunate eQuple, who had travelled on
foot from Oakingham, in Oxfordshire, were in a state of
very abject distress, added to which the poor woman was
suffering from severe indisposition, brought on by excessive
fatigue and the want of the common necessaries of life.
On the Saturday morning, between six and seven o'clock,
the occupiers of the douse were disturbed by an unusual
bustle in the room, in which James and his wife slept ;
which, on inquiry, was found to be occasioned by the poor
woman being d'.scovered by the husband at her side in the
agonies of 'Leath. Mr. Frogley, a surgeon, was imme-
diately se•at for, and promptly attended ; but before his
arrival she breathed her last. Information of the death,
with. the attending circumstances, was forwarded in the or-
dinary way to Air. STIRLING, the Coroner, in order that an
Inquest might be held on the body, and the inquiry was
fixed to take place at three o'clock on Monday afternoon,
at the house of Mr. Binfield, the King's Arms, Hounslow.
Previous to the evidence being taken, the landlord abruptly
entered the room, and protested very vehemently against
the proceedings taking place in his house, and insisted UPOR
the removal of the Coroner and Jury elsewhere.
CORONER (with evident surprise and indignation)---Do
you intend, Sir, to disturb me in my judicial office ?
Landlord—l cannot allow my house to be made a con-
venience of', without the parish make me a certain remunera-
tion for the same—the law does not compel me to do so.
CORONER, to the beadle—ls no allowance mßde to this
man by the parish for the use of his room, in the prosecu-
tion of investigations like the present ? Beadle—l believe
not, Sir. The churchwarden!, and overseers have objected,
either to remunerate landlords for the use of their rooms, or
to make any compensation to Jurors for their trouble and
loss of time in attending inquests.
CORONER (rising from his seat)—Then all I say N, that
the parochial officers of Heston parish are a mean , pitiable
set ; and I will speak of their conduct wherever. I go. I

translate one of these sermons into Welsh, and then back
again into English ; after which Satan himself would not
know it again,"

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 183t7.-

It was our painful duty to lay before our readers yes-
terday, a :lamentable account of another tithe massacre
in Ireland. The inferior agents of the law in that coun-
try have tak;tri their cue from Lord LYNDHURST, and
his Tory compeers. The fierce spirit of hatred to Ire-
land which manifested itself in the Hereditary Chamber,
'has been practically exemplified and followed up by the
murderous ferocity Qf the tithe police at Dunkerri n, as na-
turally as the cause is followed by its effect. No one pauses
to inquire why these murders have been committed—no
one asks who is to blame for the perpetration of these
barbarous atrocities. All with one voice exclaim—
The Lords ! the Lords ! .On their devoted heads
rests the guilt of all the blood ;Aid' has been poured
out like water in this unhallowed v,-arfare, and against
them shall the avenger of blood cry, till the last drop
be atoned for.
When the House of Lords rejected the _Bill sent up
from the Commons, which, though far from a complete
measure of justice to Ireland, would have been a peace
offering to that much injured portion of the empire,
they well knew the direful consequences that would re-
sult from such rejection. They had made up their
lordly minds to witness that state of things which could
not fail to be produced by the insane attempt to en-
force a law against which the feelings of a whole na-
tion revolts. We say a. whole nation, for the number,
even of Protestants, vho voluntarily pay tithe in Ireland,
is so small that it is not worth mentioning as an
exception. Experience had amply convinced their
Lordships that the Irish people would suffer any pri-
vation, any hardship, any degree of misery which an
inhuman law, and the still more inhuman wretches
who set the law in motion, could inflict upon them,
rather than submit to th,- payment of an impost, in
itself the most unjust and oppressive that it is possible
for the mind of man to concei ye, and rendered still
more hateful, still more execrable, by the wanton cru-
elty exercised, and the innocent blooz; shed in attemp-
ting to levy it. They have no re-ach:
on--no hope
even of re-action—to
plead in this case. They may
go back more than half a century, and still find il.rostes-
tant combinations existing in Ireland against
For more than fifty years has opposition to this de-
testable tax been spreading among the Irish people.
Has it, durin7 all that time, ever relaxed ? Never :
so far from this, every succeeding year has seen its
further extension. It has grown with the growth, and
strengthened with the strength of Ireland, until, as we
have said before, it embraces the whole mass of the
population, both Catholic and Protestant. Every new
scheme for subduing this popular feeling has
only
served to render it more inveterate. Every successive
massacre of the Catholics has rivetted more and more
their conviction of the unholy nature of the exaction,
and their determination to resist it even to the death.
And what degradation to a Christian Ch arch—what dis-
grace to the Christian religion itself—have the vain endea-
Yeurs to enforce the sacrifice of conscience occasioned !
Who that has the welfare of Christianity at heart—who
that cai2s himself a Christian—but must recoil with
horror from the awful spectacle of Ministers of that re-
ligion which ;sreathes peace and charity to all men,
with their own ha,:zds shedding the blood of their fel-
low-creatures, rather than relinquish an imaginary
right, to wring from them a few pence as a tribute to
the ecclesiastical Mammon whos.:, rites they abhor.
Merciful Heaven ! What a view docs this give of
human nature—what a testimony does it afford of the
truth of the Protestant religion, in its power over the
hearts of its votaries—aye, of its chosen Ministers 1
