_ .
Fier spouse, in a sudden fit of jealousy, had taken umbrage
at these innocent rambles, and bad plainly hinted his sus-
picions that though her head might be benefitted by them,
his was all the worse. During their lait matrimonial de-
bate, her husband had, with his conjugal admonitions mixed
so much of the arguntentunt baculinuui that she had .been
compelled to take out a warrant.
. Mynheer Frans told the Bench- that his wife's rambles
occurred so frequently and extended to such length, some-
times occupying nearly the whole of tee day, and being
pretty well assured they were not always made alone, he had
desired her, but in vain, to discontinue them. She had ac-
cused him of being jealous, but he had greater cause for
asserting that she - was jealous of him—or, said Mynheer
Frans, " vy she shall come to me in a false colour."
MAGISTE Arri—What do you mean ? Defendant—Vy,
dat ven I go von time to see my friend she come and knock
de door. I go, to •see who vas dere, ven my vile, who did
not look at me, say " Is Mrs. Frass live here"—ven hes
Mrs. Fraas herself—(in a rage)—Yes, my Lord Megistraat,
she comeond say " Is dere Mrs. Fraas live here," yen she
vas de Mrs. Fraas.
Complainant—Mr. Frass, I bad good reason tor going

•
there.
Defendant—Dot,- my Lor, is not de worst. She spite my
dinner every Sunday. She alvay dry de beef into a ship.
MAGISTRATE—ExpIain yourself._
Defendant—Vy, my Lord, I alvay buy some good beef
for Sunday at dinner, and Mrs. Fraas alvay cook so much
dat she" dry it into ships. She spilede beef on Sunday.
Mrs. Fraas-,-You like,to eat the meat raw, and I pre-
fer it well done. The beef was done as it ought to be on

Sunday.
Mr. Fraas (warmly)—lt was so very well done. You
alvay do every ting very well—vat you nose I don't like.
Mrs. Frans—The beef was properly done, and his
.Wer-

ship shall decide.
Here Mrs. Fraas unfolded the napkin, and produced a
dish, in which was a couple of ribs of beef, apparently
dressed in a style which would have puzzled a synod of
cooks to find fault with.
" There!" said Mrs. Frees, pushing the dish under the
very nose of Justice, " that .will show if the beef was

spoilt."
MAGISTRATE—Take the dish away woman ! What do
you mean by entering into such nonsense. Do you think
we sit here to listen to such siuj'
The Bench decided the case by desiring the defendant to
enter into his own recognizance.

MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday Eliza Turnbull, a smartly-dressed good-look-
ing !girl, about .eighteen years of age, residing with her
mother at No. 13, Gower-place, .New-road, was placed at
the bar, before Messrs. SHUTT and Hosturts,- charged with
having disposed of her illegitimate male infant, about six
weeks old, in the following extraordinary way :
Henry Cole, a boy about twelve years of age, was mov-
ing some furniture into his master's house, No. 11, Milton-
street, New-road, about eight o'clock on TueSday evening
last, when the-prisoner, who was an entire stranger to him,
came up and offered him twopence if be would carry the
wicker-basket, which she had under her shawl, to No. 9,
in Euston-square, close by, and deliver it in. Upon his
promising to do so, she gave him the twopenCe, and he pro-
ceeded to the house as directed, and on ringing the bell, a
female opened the door, when be placed the basket inside
on the mat ; no- sooner had he done this, than the infant
which was inside began to cry, and upon hearing the noise
the female desired him to take it up again and carry it
away, or she would send him to the station-lions At the
same time she called out " Thomas, when a man raade
his appearance, and witness was so frightened, that he took
up the child again and ran out of the house with it, and
not knowing what else to do, he depOsited his burden in a
waste piece of ground at the back of the square, where he

left it.
Police-constable Coveney, IBS S, was passing the spot
about two hours afterwards, when the cries of the infant
arrested his attention ; he took it up and conveyed it to
St. Pancras poor-house, when it was immediately taken in.
It was well wrapped up in flannel, and the lid of the basket
(which he here produced) was tied down with strings. On
inquiry being made, the prisoner was found to be the mother,
which led to her apprehension.
The prisoner had placed the child in the basket, givina• it
to the boy to deliver at No. 9, in the Square, where 'the
father lived ; she had done so in consequence of her in-
ability to support it any longer.
Mr. SHUTT—WhO is the father ? Prisoner—Mr.
Charles Ines.
Mr. SHUTT—What is he ? Prisoner—A Solicitor ;or
at least he is articled to one.
Mr. Keys, one of the overseers of St. Pancras parish,
explained that a short time since the prisoner called at the
workhouse, and- stating her misfortune, begged that he
would not compel her to affiliate the child, as she thought
matters might be- arranged. Soon afterwards he received
a note from the reputed father, offering 2s. 6d. per week for
the support of the infant, to prevent any thing unpleasant,
though he denied the paternity. This offer he strongly
urged the prisoner to accept ; she, however, resolutely re-
fused on the ground of its insufficiency, and there the mat-
ter ended.
Mr. SHUTT (to prisoner)—Why did you not accept the
offer—you are bound to support your own child ? Pri-
soner (sullenly)—lt's not enough.
Mr. SHUTT—Then you must add to it by your own
exertions. The parish are not bound to maintain -your
child unless the case should be urgent.
The mother of the prisoner, a well-dressed woman, as-
serted that Mr. Ines was the father of the child, and no one
else. in proof of which he had sent his doctor, Mr. Cope,
of Cleveland-street, to attend her daughter on her lying-in,
which he paid, together with other incidental expenses.
Mr. SHUTT—Admitting what you say to be true, as the
law now stands, you have no claim whatever. You seem
to dress well,. and I should advise you to assist in supporting
the child, as from appearances you are capable of doing.
Mr. Keys here said that the practice of exposing infants
was now so common, that within the last few days no less
than four had been brought to the workhouse in this condi-
tion. One of them was found on the same day this occur-
rence took place. He thought it a pity that the power had
been taken from the Magistrates to adjudicate in such cases.
Mr. SHUTT—As it was clear the prisoner did not intend
exposing the child, he should discharge her, which he did •
hut at the same time telling her she would be punished i
brought u

again.

MEETING OF MAGISTRATES
WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday a County Court was held at the Sessions-
house, Westminster. F. Const, Esq., was re-elected Chair-
man for the ensuing half-year.
The RepOrt of the Visiting Justices stated, that on the
26th of December there were 214 prisoners in the gaol. A
prison-school had been established, in which 18 boys are
now under regular instruction. The cold being severely felt
in the prison, the Visiting Justices recommended that smoke
flues should be put up, and that the plan should be first
tried in one of the female wings, the estimated cost of
which would be 211.
Mr. 111.‘WILLiAm thought this would be a very unneces-
sary outlay. If the broken windows were repaired, the
gaol would be warm enough.
Mr. RAWLINSON observed that, there were nine com-
partments, so that nine times 211. would be required.
Sir J. S. LILLIE doubted the legality of voting away the
public money, without due notice. At all events, he should
object to the principle.
After some desultory discussion, the Report was adopted
by a majority of 13 to 2.
The:Report of the Committee for Accounts stated that
there were out-standing bills due to the amount of 1,157/.
which were ordered to be paid.
Sir J. S. LILLIE wished to give notice of a motion to the
effect—" That no public money should be voted away in
future without previous notice ;" but on learning from the.
Chairman that while the present - Gaol Apt remained in
force this resolution would be nugatory, he withdrew his

notice.
'Twenty prisoners were discharged by proclamation ; and
the number remaining in the gaol' yesterday was 229 ;
namely.--141 males, and 88 females, besides six children.

The following is the list of the Marshals of France,
as it will stand after the elevation of General Sabastiani to
that rank :—Moncey, Duke of Cogneliano ; Soult, Duke
of Dalmatia ; Victor, Duke of Belluno ; Macdonald,
Duke of Thenturn ; Oudinot, Duke of Reggio ; Count
Molitor, Marquis Maison, Count Gerard, Count Clausel,
Count I.obau, Marquis de Grouchy (aonorary Marshal of
France), and finally, Count Horace Stbastiam. The first
five were appointed by the Emperor, one by Louis XVIII.,
one by Charles X., and five by Louis Phillippe. The nomi-
nation of the two first took place as far back as May, 1804.
