MARYLEBONE.

RIOTOUS CONDUCT OF FIEI3IXLE AIIPERS.-Yester-
day Catherine Se.tton, Catherine Clovin, and Anne Meek.
all of them inmates of the Marylebone workhouse, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Arnoli, charged with the
following very riotous and disonlerly conduct :
It appeared from the evidence that on the same morn
ing, at seven o'clock, it was ascertained that the pri-
soners were not ecgsged in the work allotted to them to
perform, and that on the previous night they had bad
the impudence to remove into their ward' a sofa belong-
ing to Mrs. Massey, the superintendent. A man vatned
Archer was desired to take the said sofa back into her
(Mrs. Massey') room, and while he was in the act of
doing FO, Sexton threw at him a two gallon bottle con-
taining chloride of lime ; it struck him, but fortunately
ho was nut injured. The bottle alludad to was broken,
when the whole of the prisoners gathered up the frag-
ments, with which they smashed no fewer than 34
panes of glass in the windows of the ward. The frame-
work was also shattered in many places, and the damage
altogether amounted to five pounds. It was tun her
shown that Mrs. Massey was assaulted, and that Sexton
and Clovin broke open a desk in Mrs. Massey's room,
from which they pulled out several books and papers, and
tore them up. The prisoners, whose behaviour was for
some time outrageous in the extreme, were at length
given into custody, and conveyed to the station-house.
Mr. Messer, the assistant overseer of St. Marylebone
parish, was questioned as to the character of the pri
sorters; when he replied that Sexton and Clovin were
continually misconducting themselves, and that they had,
upon many occasions, been brought to this Court, and
sent to the House of Correction. Meek had nut, to his
knowledge, been charged before.
The prisoners throughout the proceedings conducted
themselves with a deal of effrontery, and denied the as-
saults sworn to ; but they likawitie admitted having
broken the windows.

In default of paying the damage, S--xton and Clovin
were committed for two months, and Mee.k for fourteen
days.
RoanEnv BY A FEMlLE.—Henrietta Fanny !Naval,
a girl of diminutive stature, sixteen years of age, said to
be a prostitute, and whose parents are people of re-
spectability, residing in Rathbone-place, was charged

road, deposed that on the' previous morning the prisoner,
who was a stranger, came to her and asked if she might
be allowed to take the children out for a walk in the Re-
gent's Park, after dinner. Complainant told her that, as
she was quite unknown to her, she Could not permit
anything of the sort, and she (prisoner) then went
away. At two o'clock in the afternoon she returned,
and repeated her request, with r.o better success than
upon the first occasion, awl she was desired to quit the
place; she did so, and almost immediately atter she was
gone a silk handkerchief and a pair of slippers were
missed from the landing of the first floor. On the same
night the compl..inant met her in Cumberland-market

Mr. Elliott, on a charge of robbing Mr. John Gibson,ler
an accountant, residing at No. 9, Webber-street, BBlack.friars-road.
From the evidence it appeared that on Tuesday even-
ing the prosecutor, while in a state of intoxication, met
the prisoner in the Strand, and invited him into a public-
house. They subsequently went to the Borough toge.
ther, where they took a cab, and went to Astley's
Theatre. On arriving there the prosecutor discovered
that he was robbed of from two to three pounds. The
prisoner, on being accused of the robbery, denied it, and
said he had no more than a few halfpence about him, but
upon being searched, 11. Bs. 10d. was found in his jacket
pocket.

A NOVEL VISITOR.—On Friday evening last the
inhabitants of Cove were amused, and at the evening
alarmed, by the near approach to the beach of untiee of then
mon,ters of the deep. The animal, a large whale, about
thirty feet long, elm° within a ~hort distance of the
shore, and comm need " spouting," bu: very soon moved
off towards the East Ferry, no movement having bee„
made by the fishermen or others, who kept a civil dis •
tance from " the beast." The large shoals of mackerel
which have come into the harbour during the last wtek
may account for the unexpected Yi§it of this "illustrious
stranger.".—Cork Reporter.
