KENSINGTON.

Row AT THE ROYAL KENT THEATRE, KENSINGTON.
—Mrs. Julia Elizabeth Morland, the wife of Mr. Henry
Morland, otherwise Francis William John Sutliffe, the
proprietor of the Royal Kent Theatre, Kensington, at-
tended before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting Magistrate, ac-
companied by a friend, to apply for a warrant against a
person named Mathews, under the following circum-
stances :

Mrs. Morland (who, it will be recollected, was a short
time since charged on suspicion of having married three
husbands) stated that, on Monday last, the theatre was
let by her husband to a person named Mathews, one of
the performers, for the purposes of a benefit. The first
piece was one of Mathews's own introducing, and he
brought with him to perform one of the leading female
characters, a female whom she understood was a com-
mon prostitute. The audience were much displeased
with the manner in which the performance was gone
through, and hissed the piece as a parcel of trash. That
exasperated Mathews, and when those marks of disap-
probation were renewed in the second piece, Mathews,
who was sitting in one of the stage-boxes, loudly abused
her before the whole theatre, and called her a -, and
said that she had been proved to be so at the Kensington
Police-court. She therefore wished that he might be
brought up on a warrant to answer for his conduct, and
that she might have an opportunity of refuting the
calumny on her character.
Mr. CLIVE observed, that he did not see that he had
any power to grant a warrant in such a case, or even a
summons, the Police Act requiring that abusive words,
to bring them under the provisions of the Act, must be
used in the street or public place.
Mrs. Morland contended that theatres were always
considered " public places," and that therefore the
Act would be fully operative. Besides, the conduct of
Mathews had occasioned a riot in the theatre, where the
seats were torn up, and other damage done.
Mr. CLIVE inquired if the person she accused had
himself caused any damage to her husband's property ?
Mrs. Morland said that she was not prepared to prove
that he had.

Mr. CLIvE then said Mrs. Morland might have a sum-
mons, but he could not take upon himself to say what the
result might be.
Mrs. Morland, it appearing, not being acquainted with
Mathews's address, beyond its being near the Westmin-
ster Brewhouse, was told she could have tho summons
when she ascertained the address correctly.

HER MAJESTY.—We understand her Majesty
has signified her intention of being "churched' on
Sunday next, and that the ceremony will take place in
the chapel of Buckingham Palace.
For several years past the cultivators of the vine-
yards in and near Meaursault, in the Cote d'Or, have, in
turning up their grounds found Roman tiles, fragments
of marble sculpture, figures in bronze and terracotta,
a small statue of Mercury, rings, medals, and coins of
gold and silver, and other relics of Roman art, -on which
M. Rossignol, Conservator of the Archives of ancient
Burgundy, is about to present a report to the Commission
d'Antiquites of the department.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A MAN WHILST ILL-
TREATING HIS WIFE.-Mr. Baker held an inquest on
Thursday at the Royal Standard, Arundel-street, Bethnal-
green, on the body of Thomas Bird, aged 49, a silk-
dyer, of No. 1, Selby-street West. It appeared in
evidence that on Monday night last, at about ten
o'clock, deceased returned home in a state of intoxi-
cation, and, as was not unusual, began quarrelling 'with
and beating his wife. At twelve o'clock he went out,
followed by his wife, who was persuading him to return,
but he refused, and did not come home until two o'clock
the next morning. The quarrel • was then renewed,
though the lodgers could plainly tell that ;deceased
was in fault, for, without any provocation what-
ever, he threw her forcibly on the floor, and beat
her severely. The wife at length, to avoid his blows,
ran down stairs, and, as he followed, the place
being in darkness, he fell headforemost to the bottom.
He called to his wife to raise him, but she, fearing
further chastisement, refused. The lodgers were unable
to remove him to his room, and not being then
aware that he was seriously hurt, placed a pillow
under his head, and let him remain there until
six o'clock. At that hour he was removed to his
room, when he complained of pains in different parts
of his body, and at one o'clock he died. Mr. Burchett
said he perceived no marks of violence upon the body,
and judging from that he thought death to have resulted
from the rupture of a vessel in the head. It might, how-
ever, have been caused by the fall. :Verdict, That
deceased was found dead, but whether death was. occa-
sioned by a fall or by other means there was no evidence
to show."
