Mrs. Jolly indignantly repelled the accusa ft

and challenged her to fight, when they sartinlv had a rouei
or two, when she gave in, but not until she (Mrs. Jolly) got:
or three lugs and cross-huttocker.,--(A laugh.)
The MAGISTRATE jocosely observed, that it was a pity
such delieatO creatures could not lire on terms of amicabi-
lity with each of Viler ; they both seemed to have seered,
much from their proNess in the art of pugilis.sn, and as they
had both taken the law into their own hands he could no-
thing else but discharge the case.
Mrs. Jolly was then discharged, and she was followed by
a motley group, who cheered her and led her off' in
triumph ; and they repaired to a neighbouring " lush crib
to have a Jolly-fication, whilst Mrs. Potter walked off int
a contrary direction, with "all her blushing honours thick.
upon her."
Frederick Richards, an itinerant preacher, was charged,
before Mr ROGERS, with stek,:ling a quantity of household
furniture, bed-linen, &c., the property of a man named
1. :.h22.
The prosecutor, a short time ago, was involved in diffi-
culties with ome persons who had claims upon him for
money, and being obliged to give up housekeeping until
he could come to terms with them, he entevsted the whole
of his furniture to the prisoner's wife. li.:aving settled
these claims, he had made application for the ecstoration of
his property, which, however, was withheld. from
Mr. RoGgfia.—You say that you gave the ct,.stody of
it to the wife of the pcisoner ; if that be so, what ;.,as the
accused to do with it ? }:!rosecutor.—l have heard that he
removed it from the house
}where I deposited it, to a cot-
tage near Camden-town. I In.:ve. been with a policeman to
the latter place, but all I found tGere of mine was a quilt.
Mr. ROGERS called upon the pr.isOner for his answer to
the complaint.
Prisoner (crying).—l know nothing about the goods,
your Worship. lam a very ill-used man. While I was
from home that man (pointing
.the prosecutor) acted the
part of a villain to me, for he robbed me of my wife.
Presocutor.—lt's false,
Prisoner,---False! Did I not find you in bed together?
Mr. ilow.ru,—My client, of course, cannot be answer-
able for the furniture. The proccutor acknowledges that
lie delivered, it into the care of the wife only.
Mr. ROGERS (to the prosecutor.)- -You may go about
your business, and seek your remedy elscvhere.
Prosecutor.—How am I to act ?
Mr. RooEas.—ln the best way you can. If you have
lost your property, you richly deserve it for taking away
this man's wife. The prisoner is discharged.
Prisoner.—May God Almighty bless your Worship.
You have decided in justice. lam heart-broken.
The parties then left the office.

MARLB OR 0 U GH- S TREE T.
On Saturday a Polish refugee, wearing mustachios, and'
well dressed, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with
having stolen a valuable watch, the property of Mr. O'Neill,
of No. 3, James-street, Golden-square.
The prisoner protested his innocence, and was remanded
until Wednesday.
Mary Welsh brought Patrick Upton before Mr. CO..
WANT, for having committed sundry assaults on her during
an Icish row, which took place in that sober And peaceable
district, known as the" Holy Land." Mrs. Welsh came crying
into the Office, holding in her apron several parcels, neatly
done up in whitey-brown paper. " Plaze yer Rivirence,"
said she; " Paddy Upton called me out of me namo, and
then, widout the laste provocation in life, murthered me
five or six. times on Sunday morning. Here's my witnesses,"
said she, producing her parcels, and placing them oe, the
table before the Magistrates—" here's me hair off me hear!
—(taking up one parcel)—here's me two blessed double
teeth—(another parcel)—and here's my Saturday cap"—
(the third parcel).
" Spake the holy trute, Misthress Welsh," said Patrick ;
" didn't that same tooth come of the head of a jemmy that
you and Misthress Collins had for supper on Sa:urday
night."
Mrs. Welch—" May be I don't know my own flesh and
blood, you spalpeen ? Here, let his Worship look at the
tooth, and say if it don't belong to a Christian."
The officer examined the tooth, at the request of t'ae
Magistrate, but, after a close inspection, like the feature
of Sir Roger de Coverley, aggravated into a representation
of the Saracen's Head, it appeared much might be said on
both sides.
" Hear me witness, Mrs. Collins," said Patrick, " and
she'll prove what sort of a character Mrs. Welch has got."
Mrs. Collins, on being ushered in, was found to be in
that state to add speedily to the family stock of the Col-
linses.

When the book was tendered to her, with that
common feeling of superstition peculiar to the lower order
of Roman Catholic Irish, she objected to take the oath.
" Look your Honner," Said she, " see me situation, I'll lay
me band on me chest wid any woman, and say I'll spake
the trute, but I mustn't kiss the book."
MAGISTRATE—You arc bound to speak the truth under
uny circumstances, and if you wish to give evidence you
zriust be sworn. _ _

-Airs. Collins—Well, then, I'll take the oath, and the
Priest muse take the curse off me baby.
MAGIsTnAZE—How did the quarrel begin ? Mrs. Col-
lins—She calleci Paddy 2. bastard, and me a cross-born
bastard, and said sii;! could prove I'd bad five bastards be
me own husband.
Mrs. Welch—Ax her where's her hush,md, and she ready
to go to bed.
Mrs. Collins (demurely)—Me husband's in America ;
isn't he, Paddy, dear ?
Paddy—l can take me oath of that same.
The Magistrates, after hearing other witness Cs. finding
the parties could not settle the matter, held the defendant
to bail.
