saw Mr. Allday before, and therefore can have no hostile '
feeling.
Sir F. ROE—If I consent you are indebted entirely to
Sir Hussey Vivian's request, and but for his strongly-ex-
expressed wish I should have acted very differently. You
must enter into your own recognizance of 500/. to keep the
peace for twelve months.
Mr. Allday did so, and was discharged.
James Taylor, of East-street, Lambeth, was charged by
Davis with having in his possession on Saturday night a
quantity of unstamped publications entitled the Weekly
Times, Cleave's Gazette, and the New Weekly True Sun.
The officer told the Magistrate that the prisoner kept a
shop in Lambeth, and supported himself by selling cheap
publications and unstamped newspapers.
Mr. HALLS—As he keeps a shop for the purpose of
vending such publications, he must be put back until a per-
son arrives from the Stamp Office.
Thomas Clerk, of Stacey-street, was next charged by
Shackle with having a quantity of the London Free Press,
an unstamped publication, in his possession.
He was ordered to be sent to the House of Correction
for fifteen days.
James .M'Dowall, of Long-lane, Smithfield, was charged
by Carter, an officer of Marlborough-street, with having on
his person some Numbers of the Sunday Times.
Mr. HALLS said, as the prisoner was in the habit of
dealing in such publications, he should go for fifteen days
to the House of Correction.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
Miss Louisa Smithers and Miss Susan Jones, a pair of
elderly spinsters, came before the Bench, the first as com-
plainant and the latter as defendant, on a charge of assault.
The parties lodged in the same house, in•Wardour-street,
Miss Susan in the two pair baek cultivating the art of stay-
making, and Miss Louisa in the room above, devoting her
energies to the manufacture of straw bonnets. For a length
of time they had lived in strict friendship, but a sort of stop
was put to it about a month ago by the appearance of one
Mr. Samuel Hubble, who came to lodge in the front par-
lour and room adjacent. A kind of rivalry for the good
graces of Mr. Hubble soon arose between the ladies, the
one every morninr, supplying him with boiling water from
her own tea-kettle, and the other taking charge of his
shirt-button and stocking-darning department. The lucky
Mr. Hubble, who managed to divide his attentions so
equally between the ladies that each thought herself
the favoured fair, lived in clover until last Thursday,
the day on which the assault occurred. He had promised,
it appeared, to make one at a family party with Miss
Smithers, but on the very same afternoon he sent his ex-
cuses, pleading business of a pressing nature. The lynx-
eyed Miss Smithers guessed that her rival had something
to do with the " pressing business," and, on hearing the
footsteps of more than one in the room overhead, she went
up stairs, as she said, merely to borrow a pair of bellows ;
but in reality, as asserted by Miss Jones, to see who was
in her apartment. Peeping through the keyhole, the com-
plainant caught a glimpse of the toasting-fork, with a muffin
at one end and the faithless Samuel Hubble at the other.
On asking for the bellows the defendant was about to hand
them through a chink, when she pushed past, and came
full on the dumbfoundered Mr. Hubble, who had vainly
hoped to screen himself behind the door. Her first salute
was laying hold of the plate of hot buttered muffins, and
sensing the greasy missiles full smack at the delinquent.
The teapot was about to follow, when.,she was confronted
by her rival, Miss Jones, who rushed to the rescue, and in a
trice compelled her to decamp, with both sides of her face
decorated with etchings from her antagonist's finger nails.
This was the assault complained of.
A short, pot-bellied personage stepped forward, and said,'
" My name is Hubble, your Lordships, and I'm truly
grieved that I should have been the unfortunate cause of
this serious rumpus ; but though my bran-new silk waist-
coat was quite spoiled, I will undertake to heal the
breaches of these two ladies, if your Worships will grant
me leave to retire and meditate' between them both for
five minutes."
Permission having been given, the little. man gallanted
the parties into the passage, In a short time he returned
with a mortified air, his " meditation" having not met with
the success he expected.
" Your Worships," said he, " I beg leave to wash my
hands of this affair. I'm sure I can't be accused of being
more interesting to one lady than the other, and though I
was willing to strain a point or so to accommodate the busi-
ness, yet I give it up as a bad job."
The rivals, however, had apparently come to an under-
standing between themselves, and the defendant having
consented to pay the expensgs, they left the office together,
darting looks of scorn at the too gallant Mr. Hubble,
whose future prospects as to hot water and shirt buttons
appeared from recent circumstances to be put in consider-
able jeopardy.

Q UEEN-SQUARE.
THE UNSTAMPED.—Yesterday, Mr. William Barber, a
stationer and newsvender, residing in Chester-street, Ken-
nington-lane, was brought up in custody, charged with
having a number of unstamped newspapers in his possession,
contrary to the Act of Parliament.
Robert Hall, one of the officers of the establishment, on
the previous day saw the prisoner passing up Bridge-court,
Westminster, carryinm a large blue bag. Witness, suspect-
inc, that it contained unstamped newspapers, stopped him,
and on searching the bag discovered a number of Cleave's
Weekly Tithes, unstamped ; and also several copies of
Hethcrington's Twopenny Dispatch, also unstamped. Wit-
ness in consequence took him to the station-house.
Magistrate—You are committed for two months to the
House of Correction.
Defendant—l beg, Sir, you will consider my family, and
visit my offence with a fine.
Magistrate—l have mitigated the sentence upon you
one month.
The defendant, who appeared shocked at the sentence,
was then removed from the bar to the lock-up cell.

WORSHIP- STREET.
Yesterday John Neville was placed at the bar before
Messrs. Brougton and Grove, charged with stealing about
ninety yards of silk, valued at about 16/.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday, and said, on
leaving the bar, that Mr. Reynolds did not know any of the
men ; but it was folly in saying he did not give any money.
Mr. Reynolds gave bail.
A married man and woman, respectable tradespeople,
were placed at the bar at the instance of Mr. Daniel Wood,
awl-blade manufacturer, City-gardens, who appeared before
the magistrates in that character described by our immor-
tal bard of putting an enemy in his mouth,
On Sunday evening the complainant, not in a very equi-
poise position, entered the City Arms, in the City-road.
As well as he was able he proceeded into the parlour,
where, unfortunately for the prisoners, he joined their com-
pany. Already ripe with his exploits on the bottle, in oppo-
sition to better advice, he insisted on having another glass,
and then ordered a bottle of wine. He not only invited his
new friends to take a part ; but offered a glass to the wait-
ing maid, who of course accepted it. Time flew apace,
when, suddenly rising from his seat, he complained of hav-
ing been robbed of two 10/. notes, and other money, to the
amount of 47/, and charged the prisoners with the the rob-
bery, and who were, in consequence, taken into custody.
On his way to the station-house he exclaimed, as if starting
from sleep, " Ulloa, what is this ?" and, striking his pocket
where his money did lay, observed " It's all right."
Rebecca Whatley, the servant girl, said that the com-
plainant first charged her with having robbed him of 3001.
The complainant did not know that he had had any wine.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that no jury would listen to such
evidence and convict any one. It was evident that the
complainant did not know anything he was doing.
The prisoners were discharged.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday, a fellow named Gutheridgc, a watch-finisher,
living in Savanna-place, Essex-street, Hoxton, was brought
before Mr. LAING, by Bugg, the beadle of Clerkenwell,
charged with deserting his wife.
The wife of the defendant had a babe about two months
old in her arms. She is a very clean and respectable
young woman in her appearance, and her grief-worn looks
excited much sympathy amongst a numerous assemblage
of persons that were present during the hearing of the case,
from whom also bursts of indignation were vented upon
the defendant on his making the following exceedingly cruel
and unmanly admissions.
The complainant, on being sworn, stated that her hus-
band had not supported her for the last 14 days.
Mr. LAING asked the prisoner what he had to say for
himself ? Defendant (smiling)—She left me.
Wife—l did not. You beat me, and turned me out
of doors.
Defendant—She has had some money left her, and she
wants to keep it from me.
Mr. LAING—Why, what of that ? Defendant—What
of that? Why, it is the money I married her for, and
not for her looks.
Mr. LAING—You are about as unfeeling a fellow as ever
I heard of. How dare you stand there and talk so out-
rageously ? Defendant—If she had been a good wife I
might possibly in time have loved her.
Mr. LAING—You may depend upon it you shall suffer
for this infamous conduct How much do you earn a
week ? Defendant—About 9.05.
Wife—He earns more than 31. 3s.
Mr. LAING (to the defendant)—What do you offer for
your wife's support ? Defendant—l have a good home for
her to go to.
Mr. LAING.—DO you think she is to be compelled to
live with such. a fellow as you ? Defendant—l have al-
ways treated her well.
Mr. LAING—Your behaviour to-day convinces me you
don't know how to treat a female well.
Mr. Hill, the overseer of Clerkenwell, here stated that
• the defendant had frequently beaten his wife.
