QUEEN-SQUARE.

Richard Turner; a coachman, who stated that he was
driving for Lady Mlienzie, was charged with wilfully
damaging a gig belonging to Mr. Davis, auctioneer.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. J. Johnson, tra-
velling comedian, and successor to the late renowned
Richardson, that on Friday night hv was standing at the
Manor-house, where a gig :belonging to Mr. Davis, and
in which his wife was seated, was drawn up, when he
saw the defendant, who was proceeding towards town,
come in collision with the gig. The vehicle was turned
upside down, and the lady thrown with great violence to
the ground ; one of the wheels of the gig was dashed to
pieces, independent of ether damage done. His evidence
was corroborated by several witnesses, and the amount
of damage was sworn to be Si.
Mr. Davis consented to take 61. 10s., which sum was
paid, and the complaint dismissed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET
Charles Taylor and John Williams were charged with
having committed a violent and unprovoked assault upon
a policeman.
It appeared that at an early hour in the morning the
constable saw thirty or forty women of the town leave the
Crown public-house in Cranbourn-passage, Leicester-
square, and as they were very noisy he told them to go
on ; they did so, and several men, among whom were the
defendants, then suddenly came up and without notice
commenced a savage attack upon him. He defended
himself with his staff, and assisted by several of the
neighbours secured the defendants, but the others es-
caped.
In reply to the charge defendants denied being the
persons who struck the constable.
The Magistrate inflicted the too-moderate fine of 20s.
or one month's imprisonment.
Frederick Kalmns was finally examined on the charge
of having stabbed Henry liatchett, proprietor of the
Golden Lion Coffee-house, Wardour-street.
The prisoner a few days back took some coffee and
bread and butter at the house, and when asked for pay-
ment commenced an attack on the complainant with a
stick, which broke ; he then put his hand within his
waistcoat, and withdrawing it stabbed the complainant in
the head.

The surgeon said that had the wound been only an inch
lower the man must have died ; he considered that it had
been inflicted by a sharp instrument, but would not swear
that it had not been made by a stick. No knife or dagger
has been found. _ _

'The prisoner, in a :French patois, and afterwards in
German, said he was angry at being asked to pay a se-
cond time for what he had had. lie was fully commit-
ted for trial.

The prisoner's mother stated to the Magistrate that in
the early part of summer the deluded girl had the
misfortune to form an intimacy with a silly romantic
youth, to whom she became passionately attached, and
in a fit of mawkish and maudlin sentiment of the French
cas'

to he induced her to believe that they were doomed to
misery in this world, and it were better to end their lives
and we es together. They accordingly each took a strong
dose of poison, the effect of which proved speedily fatal
to her monomaniac lover, but by the aid of prompt reme-
dies the life of the infatuated girl was saved. Ever since
that melancholy event she had been miserable and broken-
hearted, and had made no less than three attempts on her
life previous to the one that was frustrated by the po-
liceman.
After admonishing her upon the impropriety of her
conduct in feeling and forcible language, which, however,
did not appear to make any impression upon her, the
Magistrate delivered her up to her friends.
