BOW-STREET.--(Tins DAY.)

A question of some interest came on to be heard
this day. It arose as follows :—A Gentleman
named Fisher, of Claremont-terrace, had a party
a few evenings since, and considering that some
of the company might want a coach, the butler
at one o'clock sent for 3, which remained until
five in the morning. The company, however,
chose to walk home, and the coachmen now
summoned for 10s. each and costs, which they
recovered.

Yesterday Mr. Batty, the Clerk of the Kensington Trust,
appeared on a summons, to answer for -neglecting to make the
return of the disbursements made by him relative to his office,
as directed by the General Turnpike Act, 3. Gen. Iv. The
complaint was preferred by Mr. Cohbett, who was just begin-
ning to state his case, when Sir R. L!IRNIE said no further
proceedings could be had in the case, as the penalty sought to
be recovered was.sol. and the Act limited the amount of penal.
ties to be recovered before a Magistrate .to 20/. and, therefcTre
the further proceeding must he by actiom, as the Act directed.
Mr. Cobbett admitted the validity of the Worthy Magistrate's
observations and the case was accordingly (Unlined.

ExtcuTioN.— (Dublin, Jammu (26.) -- Sa-
turday, at two o'clock, Thomas Ward was ex-
ecuted at the drop of Kilinainham, pursuant
to his sentence at the late Commission, for a
highway robbery committed -by him at Sag-
gard. Previous to the unhappy man's being
brought out, Mr. Dunn, the Gaoler, very hu-
manely requested his relatives or friends to
withdraw, lest his seeing them should disturb
the resigned state of his mind. Shortly after, Ward.
came forward—his demeanour was truly penitent:
and resigned ; he exclaimed, " Lord Jesus have
mi-rcy upon my poor soul." in a few moments
after, he said to the assemblage—" Boys, take
warning by me, and avoid had company."
Shortly after this expression, the rope having
been properly adjusted, he was launched into
eternity, and died almost without a struggle.
Ward's unhappy mother was at some dis-
tance ; but not in view of the melancholy and
tragic spectacle which tier son presented. She
Was on her knees, her hands extended towards
heaven, indulging in the most piteous weans ; a
heart-rending object to all who saw her.
