KILRIUti PETTY SESSIONS.

" Alt. sure a pair were never sztri,

whole wriAttli," it, this day's proceedings, was a Miss
nithly fletly, who occupied the witness-box, and
seemed to be pertinaciously bent upon keeping her
place. Biddy Healy had a pearl in one eye.
and a great deal of mischief in the other, the
whole power of which optic she hrottgllt to bear on
a certain I\4llio3y, who, surrounded by a cortege
of young fricndsti hat etd court-frequenters, flung baei.,
the fair Biday'S glances of defiance. Toe "ladies," it
nppcared had been partnt ra in a potato-purchasing
trawiction. and a settlement of accounts being sought
for by Miss Healy, her en-partner proved a very adept
in finance, taking care of horsed; and " whistling tne

" And a good ri4ht I have" responded Biddy, " site

Why. then, ov I did, may the d—l renounce tne

(Laughter.)
Biddy Healy winked and blinked " unutterable
thinga" at the Bench, and then proceeded to state,
that having leit dissatisfied at Miss Mahoney's stwe-
went of aeeouots, she was in the act of handing back
the very trittng dividend of change that damsel tentkred
her, when the latter slapped her hand upwards, ex-
claiming, Take that as you'd taL! snuff," and scatter-
ing the mingle,' mail of shillings and halfpence far and
Wile about the street.
" Conte, come, did she then
.strike yourself ?" in-
qu;red Ins Worship.
" She caught me he the skull," replied ally, ex-
tending her taper fingers claw fashion, as if grasping
head piece ; " She caught me be the skull, this way,

" It your'e a livin' man, come up here this very mina,
Mickey Cooney," said Nelly Mahony, imperatively, and
accordingly Mr. Cooney made his bow, both WlLT-
rents expressing their confidence in his veracity. When
he was sworn,
" Now, Mick Cooney"' exclanied Miss Mahony, en-
couragingly:—

4. Yes, then, now, to be sure," echoed her quondam
pirtner.

Mickey', in a tons Of indignant contempt of the ex-
pectations of the " ladies twain."

returned Mister Cooncy, " only I seen a crowd, an'

(Great laughter.)
" High hangin' to you, Micky Cooney," muttered
Biddy, as she left. the Court.
Why, thin, the some to yourself," was that gen•
tleman's rejoinder, 6 an' a windy day into the bargain."

In juxtaposition with some arnu,:ing bolstintz,
we find the following intimation in the Cambridge Chronicle:
Mr. Sutton and his friend Sir Alexander Grant are ex-
pected to be in Cambridge every hour, and the canvass will
commence forthwith. 11'e will not now endeavour to press
upon our fellow-townsmen the high claims which Sir Alexander
Grant has upon the suffrages of all Conservatives, but we
Kill leave him to introduce himself and make his own way
among them."

Friday an inquest was held at the Westminster
Bridewell, before M. Higgs, on view of the body of John
Rogers, aged 43. a prisoner. Mr. Thomas Kilsby, clerk to
the prison, deposed that the deceased was committed to the
prison on tie 24th of April last by Mr. Long, one of the Ma-
gistrates of .11arlborough-street, charged with assaulting a
cous.able whilst in the execution of his duty, and sentenced
to seven days' imprisonment. He died on the 30th of
April. The &ceased was in bail health when he was com-
mitted to the prison. Mr. Levier, surgeon, of King street,
Westminster, deposed that the deceased when committed to
the prison was labouring ureter the effects of delirium-tre-
mens, occasioned by excessive drinking. He was placed in
the infirmiry, aid every thing done tor him. On the 28th
he became incoherent cud quite insensible. He did not
rally, and died on the 30th, from delirium tremens, brought
on by excessive drinking. He was not aware whether the de-
ceased received any injury in his contest with the constable
Ile (deceased) had no mark of external 6,lence about his
person. He had every nourishment during the time he was
in the infirmary. Verdict—" Died from delirium tremens,
brought on by excessive drinking."

Tne defendants submitted that there was no obstruc-
tion whatever occasioned to pastiengers by the caiks,
and that it was quite i.rpossible to carry on burin: ss
without occasional violations of the Act.
Alderman CoPELAND was anxious to decide in favour
of the deiendants, but was overpowered by those who
sat with him to adjudicate.
The defendants were each fined 40s, and costs, to
the great delight of the informers.
Aid,..rmln COPELAND expressed his great regret at
inictinx the rottity, the only .ifixt of which would be
the putting of man y into the bands of the informer
without renderitig the least kerVICO to the comtntrlity.
He expre&s,(l a hope that a Bill would short!) pass cal-
eu!atcd to remedy the evil.
Tne defendants hoped that such would be the case,
at the same time that they thought it a r,.4l:ction upon
the city of London that the common informers, whose
avocation was branded with contempt in the county of
Middlesex, should be fostered and encouraged within
the walls of the City.
