COUN'T'RY CORN ➢IARKETS DURING THE. WEEK.

LONDON, THURSDAY EIrE,\ING, OCTOBER, JJ, 1838.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 10.

The Magistrates sat yesterday morning for the purpose of
hearing appeals.
At the sitting of the Court, Heaton Ellis, Esq., who has
recently been appointed Clerk of the Peace for the county of
Middlesex, in the room of Thomas Selby, Esq., who lately
resigned that situation on account of ill-health, was sworn in
the usual form. The appoi9tment is in the gift of the Duke
of Portland, the Lord Lieutenant of the county. Mr. Ed-
wardes, who has been appointed Deputy Clerk of the Peace,
in the room of Mr Unwin, also took the usual oaths.

The Court was occupied almost the whole of the morning
in hearing parish appeal c ,sea relative to the removal and set-
tlement of paupers, none of which were of the slightest pub-
lic interest.
A LioN's PAW.—Mr. Wm. Johnson, a cabinet-maker,
complained of Felix Spun, his apprentice, having left his
service without reasonable cause, and the apprentice put is
a counter petition, complaining that his master was incompe-
tent to teach him his business. In order to show that the
lad bad been properly taught, the master put in a carved
figure of a lion's paw, which he said was the work of the
apprentice, and was very well executed.

A witness, who stated that he was a cabinet carver, on
being shown the paw, said if his apprentice had male such
a paw for him he would have thrown it at his head.
The CHAIRMAN said he supposed these paws were made
from models—not copied from nature.
The witness replied tint, not being quite so fond of a lion's
company as Mr. Van Amburgh, he generally made his paws
from models. The paw made by the apprentice was more
like the hoof of a donkey than a lion's paw.
Mr. BODKIN—You think that he copied it from nature.—
( A laugh.)
The apprentice was ordered to return to his master, and
learn how to make better parrs in future,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-BOUSE.

111 r. John Towry Baryon, a gentleman who resides in the
parish of St. Bennet Shorehog, was summoned by the pa-
rochial authoritie§ for the payment of the sum of 51. towards
the repairs of the Church. By the Fire Act the parishes of
St. Bennet Shorehog and St. Stephen WTalbrook were united,
but the distribution of rates appears to be very unequal. Al-
derman PIRIE, in conjunction with the LORD MAYOR, adjudi-
cated on the occasion.' _

The defendant, as a Dissenter from the Church of England
Establish,-neni, conscientiously objected to pay the rate, al-
though he had paid it up to the last year. His feelings
were so grievously outraged by the party calling themselves
the Church patty, who had issued publications, denominated
the " Oxford Tracts." so utterly at variiticejwith the princi-
ples and practice of Christianity, that he could no longer
think himself justified in answering such a claim. He had
never objected to pay taxes, or even tithes, because men were
fed by these contributions.

circumstances,
The LORD MAYOR---Nl7hosc, tracts are those which se pOwer-

would be most readily paid by those who hear them.
Alderman PIRIE—I happen to know several instances of the
kind in which they are not paid. It appears to me that you
are an advocate of the voluntary system.
nowu hypocrisy,nd e
under
Defendant—Perhaps I am. lam disposed to pay the mi-
nister who officiates according to my religious views, but I ob-
ject to pay the man whose notions do not correspond with
mine on such subjects. Ido not recognise a geographical
Christianity. In other countries there is no obligation upon
men to pay a Court Church, and I can see no reason for con.
tinuing the abuse here. Your Lordship has just disposed of
the case of a young pickpocket, whose Christian name you
asked. He answered that his Christian name was Joseph, as
if Christianity had been visited upon him the moment he was
sprinkled with water in his infancy. Now, what could be more
contrary to the fact, than that before he could have under-
stood anything about the business he could be a Christian?
Alderman Pura—You are probably a Baptist ? Defen-
dant--I am. I think that if people's minds were drawn to
the right question, the D ssenters would not be called upon by
their fellow-citizens to pay.for a mode of worship at variance
with that which they profess. •
The LORD AiAvoa—This is a discussion unfit fir this place.
The claim upon you by the parochial authorities is made by
law,. and we, as illigistrates, are obliged to enforce payment.
We haVe no discretion in such a case, however you may argue
against the justice of the rate.
• Mr. Hobler told the defendant, that if be entertained a
doubt as to the obligation upon him to pay the rate, he had
only to state to that effect, and appeal.
Defendant—lf a hundred individuals, situated as I am, were
to come forward as Dissenters and state their opinions, I think
that this question would soon be put an end to. I would wil-
lingly pay the rate for two or three years more, if the matter
appeared to be in anything like a train of settlement; but
there appears to be no symptom of such an event. lam far
from being contentious, for 1 have been paying for these 21
years every demand of the kind. I speak not of pounds, shil-
lings, and pence, as the amount is of little importance to me;
but I speak as a Dissenter, who ought to be relieved from a
most odious and nefarious tax.
Alderman PIRIE--I am obliged to pay towards the repairs
of the parish church, and I also pay for the repairs of the
chapel to which I go. If you dislike paying money under the
circumstances of which you complain, you can get over the
difficulty as the Quakes do.
Defendant—There are seven or eight individuals hi the
rich who neither pay poor-rates nor cliurcl'-rates.
The LORD Maeoft—Are they able to -pay?--Defendant—
No doubt of it.
The Vestry Clerk sa'd that the defendant alteled to the
parish of St. Stephen, W albrohk, which was united to that of
St. Bennet Shorehog in which the defendant resided. It
happened that St. Stephen, Walbreok, was a much richer
parish than the other, and had neither poor rates nor tithes
to collect.
The defendant intimated that the disparity between the two
parishes
in that respect was exceedingly unjust, and the close
character of the vestry in the cage of St. Stephen, Walbrook,
made the exemption quite intelligible.
Alderman Putts—lf there be any of the parishioners
who do not Fay they must be compelled to pay. Have
you any objection to urge as to the validity of the rate?
—Defendant—None; it is to the principle I object. Wher.
I find a "set of individuals who call themselves holy, walking
and calling the ground holy, at the -
over ground same
time that I know their tread is no more holy than the tread
of a donkey, and just as capable of communicating a sacred
character to the place, I think the imposition most monstrous.
If they were to alter their system to the plan of spirituelising
their dissenting brethren, and inculcating and enforcing the
doctrines and practice of the Christian religion, the case
would be different. lam sorry that England in the 19th
century should be so deluded as to imagine that Christian
feelings and principles aro to be sprinkled from a bowl of

ever,

Hobler—Will the defendant require the Magistrates
to sign the order against him? A distress warrant will be is-
sued if he refuse to pay.
Defendant—l'd rather the order were issued.
The Vestry should be extremely sorry to execute
the order. Mr. Burgon is a most respectable inhabitant.
Defendant—l am most willing to pay all fair &aims, but
this is a most detestable impost. I hate these griffins (point-
ing to the figures on the summons which had been served
upon him.)
The LORD MAYOR--A warrant of distress must issue.
Defendant—l cannot help it. I shall pay every respect to
the order of the Lord Mayor.
Alderman Plate—But there is no occasion for letting the
matter go to expense.
Defendant--I am to receive the warrant myself, am I not?
Mr. HoaLatt--No. The officer keeps the warrant as au-
thority for seizing upon your bed, or any other part of your
furniture. The Quakers manage the matter adroitly. The
collector receives a regular refusal upon every application;
but there is always a party in the neighbourhood who inter-
feres, and the collector is sure to find the money without the
trouble of looking much after it.
Defendant—What and is this for the support of religion ?

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday nn ill-looking Jewess, named Amelia Levy, the
mistress of a .notorious brothel, No. 9, Lazenby-court, Long-
acre, was brouglit before Mr. TwYFoRI) and Mr. WITTIA AI,
the Magistrates of Hatton-garden, charged with feloniously
aiding and abetting a man, whose name is unknown, in corn-
mitting a capital offence upon the person of Helen Louisa Wise.
Helen Louisa
log girl, was 13 years of age in June last. About two months
Wise, a very intelligent and interesting look-
ago, having had some difference with her mother, who lived at
No. 22, Great Marvleb-clne-street, she went to live at a house
in Crowo-strt,
oho. where she remained a ‘ieek, and thc.,r:
in n fmt to anoLher lod;ting.
~re..7er's•eourt, Oxford-street.
S
w
v.-13, :.: she remained three, days, and on the afternoon of .the
third day, about four o'clock, she took a walk to the Haymar-

' ket, and was standing oppoSite the theatre, when a girl, whose
name she afterwards learned was Diana, came up and asked
f her if she was looking out for a lodging. Witness replied
that she was ; and then the girl asked her to go with her,
saying that where she -lived some young girls were wanted
F as dress lodgers. Witness, supposing that she meant dress-
, makers, expressed her willingness to go with her, and as they
Were proceeding through Cranbourn-alley they met another
girl, named Maria, to whom the girl Diana whispered some-
thing, and then Maria told her to take her (witness) home.
She then proceeded, along with Diana, to the house, No. 2,
Lazenby-court, Long-acre, where an old woman, the servant,
was sitting beside the parlour fire. The girl said something
to her which she (witness). could not hear, and the old woman
then went into an. adjoining room and brought her a pocket-
handkerchief to hem, and subsequently she gave her a new
shift, and told her to run up the seams. She was engaged at
work until eleven o'clock, when Mrs. Levy (the prisoner) came
in, and, after examining the work, told witness that she was a
nice young girl, and would do very well. They had some
bread and cheese for supper, after which the prisoner told her
to go up stairs to bed, which she did, and on the following
morning •she saw several girls at breakfast, who were dressed
in a way that excited her suspicions, and their conversation
was so bad that she (witness), after breakfast expressed a
wish to leave the house, upon which the prisoner said to her,
" Vou foolish mare, you are held in too tight, you shan't go
away," and she then seized her by the arm and pushed her.
The witness then went on to state, that when evening came
the prisoner painted hei-faCe, and made her put on some fine
clothes. She was there told that she must go out and take a
walk, which she at first refused to do; but subsequently,
through fear, she accompanied Diana and Maria and two
other girls towards Piccadilly, the prisoner walking a little
behind them, until they reached Coventry-stteet, when wit-
ness saw her stop and speak to a gentleman, after which she-
said something to the girls, two of whom wilked away, and
then the other two girls took hold of her arm, and they pro-
ceeded back to Lazenby-court, and went into the parlour,
followed by the prisoner and the gentleman, to whom the
prisoner introduced her, saing she was a nice young girl, and
had never been in company with a gentleman before; and sho
then placed her hand in that of the gentleman, who imme-
diately began pulling her about, and wanted her to go up
stairs with him, but she refused; upon which the prisoner
pushed her towards the door, and the gentleman, ssizing her in
his arms, carried her, notwithstanding her screams and strug-
gles, to a room up stairs, where he threw her on a bed, but
she succeeded in breaking away from him and hid herself under
the bed, from which, however, the gentleman dragged her, and
again flung her on the bed. She then saw the prisoner enter the
room, and throw a long leather strap lined with wool upon the
table, and, having done so, she left the room and closed the door.
She again struggled violently, when the gentleman seized the
strap, and with it fastened her arms and legs to the bed posts, so
that she was quite at his mercy and unable to stir, and in that
condition he succeeded in violating her person. He remained with
her about half an hour before he released her, and as soon as
she regained her liberty she flew at him and bit his thumb.
She then opened the door and saw the prisoner standing out.
side, when the latter chucked her under the chin and said,
" How are you, old girl ?" She attempted to fly at her, but
the gentleman held her back, and then she saw some money
pass between him and the prisoner. She then, as well as she
was able, made her way down stairs to the parlour, where she
was so exhausted that she fainted away, when the servant
threw some gin in her face, and after she returned to her
senses the gentleman left the house, and she never saw him
after that time. On the following morning the prisoner came
to her bed-side and wished her to get up, but she refused,
and she then brought her some breakfast. Witness remained
in the house for a fortnight after, waiting for an opportunity to
run away, which she at length succeeded in doing, and left
the house with another girl, who was also desirous to abscond.
After she had been with the prisoner ale tut three days she
went to Brewer-street and fetched away her box, containing
her clothes, which she carried to the brothel. The gentleman
remained in the room with her about an hour and a half.
Elizabeth Wise, a very decent-looking woman, was a widow,
and the witness was her daughter. Having scolded her for
neglecting some work, she left her house on the 22d of August
last, and she learned nothing of her until the 23d of Septem-
ber following, when in consequence of some information she
received she went to a house in Pearl-street, Spitalfields,
where she found her unfortunate daughter who told her of her
having been strapped down to a bed, and her person violated,
at the house of the prisoner in Lazenby-eourt. Witness sub-
seqeently went to the police-station in MarYlehone, and gave
information of the circumstance to lospector Stubbs, of the D
division of police.
The solicitor for the defence then proceeded to cross exa•
mine the girl, and in answer to questions put to her she stated
that the house which she went to in Crown-street, Slho, was
not a brothel. She slept in the same room with the master
and mistress and an old woman, and paid is. a week fir her
bad. A young girl, named Mary Ann Chapel, took her to the
house, and they thought to get some work at shoe-binding,
but could not procure any, and she (witness) was compelled
to pawn some of her clothes to support herself white she re-
mained there. From Crown-street she went to Barrett's•
court, and lodged for three days in a house kept by a green-
grocer, and she slept there id the same room with a woman
and her two children. During the fortnight she remained in
I,,z,nby- court, after her person was violated, she occasionally
went to take a walk at night, but some of the girls alw.ns
went with her, and they threatened that if she attempted io
run away they"would stick her, in consequence of which she
was afraid to stir, or give information to the police of the
manner in which she had been used. She declared in the
most positive manner, after having been questioned very
closely, that during the fortnight in question she never en-
tered a brothel, and until the outrage took place upon her
uerson she had no criminal intercourse with any man what-
While at the house of the prisoner she pretended to be
reconciled to the mode of life pursued by the other girls in
order to throw them off their guard, and she embraced the
first opportunity to run away. On the night she left Lazenby-
court she made the best cf her way to the City, and slept in a
street off Leadenhall-street. She subsequently went with a
girl of the town to a house in Pearl-street, Spitslfields, where
she was found by her mother. After leaving the prisoner's
house she never had any intercourse with a man, except on
one occasion, when she was driven to it by the greatest distress.
The prisoner's solicitor here asked the Magistrate, whether,
after the last admission of the girl, coupled with the incredible
story she had previously told, she was worthy of belief ?
Mr. TWYFORD had made up his mind to send the prisoner
for trial, and a jury would judge as to whether her statement
was worthy of credit or not.
The witnesses were then bound over to appear at the ensu-
ing Session of the Central Criminal Court, and the prisoner
was fully committed to Newgate, to take her trial on the
capital charge.

MARLBOROUGH.STREET.
James Steel, a tradesman residing in Broad-street, Golden-
square, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with
assaulting his wife.
The con:plainant, a very respectable-looking female, stated,
that on Sunday evening her husband told her to dress herself
for the purpose of taking a walk, but when she had dressed
herself he refused to go out, and not liking to be made a fool
of, she told him if he would not go out with her she would go
alone, and so she did, arid after taking a very delightful walk,
she returned home soon after 8 o'clock, when her husband be-
ing out of humour, vented his wrath upon her by inflicting
sundry blows over her face, and not satisfied with that, took a
razor out of the drawer, and holding it to her throat swore he
would do for her.

In answer to the charge, the defondant ?tated that when Us
wife came home bh.e—was---in a ratECT more elevated condition
than When she went out, and which certainly did not tend to
calm his previous excitement (for he waa excite(' by lscr going
out without his sanction), and then she used some flippant
expressions, which induced him to correct her by sundry slaps
on the cars.

Mr. CHAMBERS-But what can you say to the razor ? The
defendant said nothing but shook his head.
Complainant—l say, Jem, you should not tell falsehoods.
1 was not " how came you so," and you ktiow it.

Defendant—l think you was.
Mr. CHAMFERS-I think you are two very foolish persons
to come here at all. I suppose the best thing will be for you
to separate.
Defendant (falteringly)—Yes, your Worship, I think so.
Complainant—Don't talk nonsense, Jem ; you know if we
were parted now, you would be after me again before night.
--(Laughter.)
The complainant's sister, who was standing by, said—
.. Talk about parting them, your Worship, it's all nonsense—
they are eternally parting, but still they are never separated.
Loud laughter.) If he don't go after her, she is sure to
be after him, and it's generally a race which shall seek each
other first."

The complainant here burst into a hearty laugh, which was
echoed by the defendant, and the mania very soon appeared
to have attracted every person in the office, the worthy Ma-
gistrates not exempted.
Mr. CHAMBERS (laughing,).—And pray what are you all
laughing at ? Complainant. —To think what a parcel of fools
we all are to come here.
Mr. CHAMBERS.—WeII, I shall decide this warrant by or-
dering you to go away and kiss each .other immediately.
The worthy Mmgistrate's advice was instantly adopted, and
the " happy couple" left the offiee arm-in-arm, and pro-
ceeded towards home, the complainant declaring that Mr.
Chambers had the best notions of deciding a case according
to its merits of any person she ever met with, and she should
certainly respect him as long as she lived.

Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.
Alfred Peter Payne, a man about forty years of age, was
yesterday charged with deserting his wife and infant. The
case was one of the most cruel description, and the details are
simply these :--Defendant, who is a bricklayer, working for
Messrs. Orissell and Peto, was married to the utiforturutr
victim of his cruelty o;,:y
mouths 6,70. Durim.! the
Isst seven mouths it nincars that she has" outlived his
and has been literally starved. Silo was coy:fitted about -tive
months ago, and herself and infant have suffered the most

dreadfcd Tientionn The raVages of starvation were at length
so visible that the neighbours interfered, and a communication
was made to the parochial authorities of St. Margaret's.
Nicholson, an inspector of the poor, stated that in conse-
quence of the representations made by the neighbours, ho
went to No. 9, Mill's-buildings, Knightsbridge, where he found
defendant's wife on Tuesday week in a state of absolute star—
vation with her infant. There was no clothing nor food for
them, and the poor woman was so weak that she was imme-
diately, with her child, conveyed to St. Margaret's workhouse.
He then went in search of the prisoner, and found him at work
in Euston-square, where he apprehended him.
Mr. Boileau, asked if defendant was in fill work? Nichol-
son replied in the affirmative.
Proof having been given of the marriage, defendant
was asked what he had to say? The defendant; who did not
Teem at all disturbed, partially denied deserting her.
The overseer remarked that the landlady of the house was
there, who could prove the continual desertion.
Mr. BURRELL thought the case clearly made out, and corn-
'pitted the defendant to hard labour for one month.

UNIOX.HALL.
Yesterday James Edwards, a tradesman living in the -dis-
trict of this office, was brought before Mr. Swabey, charged
with neglecting to maintain his wife and family.
Evidence having been given of of the relief extended by
the parochial authorities to the defendant's wife and-children,
in consequence of his desertion of them for a considerable
period, he was called cn for his defence.
He pleaded, in answer to the charge of abandoning his
family, that his wife deserted him upwards of eight years ago,
and that having ascertained by indubitable proof that she
had placed herself under the protection of another man, be
(defendant) considered that be was neither by law nor duty
bound t) support her after this discovery. He added, that he
had no objection either to take the children himself, or pay
so much a-week for their maintenance in the workhouse,
although he had his doubts as to whether he had a right to
father them.

Mrs. Edwards denied that she had been leading a profligate
life since they had been separated, and added that her husband
wanted to get rid of her in order to marry another woman,
and that the banns of their marriage were put up last Sunday
a one of the Churches in that neighbourhood.
The defendant admitted that he had been " out-asked" on
Sunday last to a female, whom Ee described as a nice tidy
little woman. 'That he' had a notion, which' he believed. to be
a correct one, and that was, if a man had been separated
from his wife for seven years, and had not seen her during
that period, he was by law entitled to marry another woman,-
if he pleased.
Mr. SWABEY told the defendant that he laboured under an
erroneous opinion on that subject, and that if he had married
the woman for whom the banns had been put up, he would
have rendered himself liable to be transported for bigamy.
The defendant appeared quite surprised at this intelligence,
and then called a man named Lyons, for the purpose of pre.--
log that after his wife had left him she went and lived with a
man named Rogers, in the witness's house. The witness hav-
ing testified to this latter fact.
The wife strenuously denied the accusation.
The parish officer said that inquiries had been made into
die conduct of the wife, and he was sorry to say nothing of a
satisfactory kind was ascertained.
The Magistrates decided that the defendant was liable for
the expenses incurred by the parish for the maintenance of his
children, and that if he did not reimburse them he should
stand committed. With respect to his wife, the Magistrates
directed that the Board of Guardians might make the requisite
inquiries to ascertain if she had been leading an improper
lite ; and if so, that the husband in that case was not bound to
contribute to her maintenance.
