THAMES OFFICE.-(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Ady, of "something to advantage" notoriety, was brough
before Mr. Broderip, charged with fraud.
Mr. Pelbam attended for the prisoner.

Samuel Smith Hill, of Vine-street, Regent-street, deposed that he
received a letter on the Ist of January, 1846, signed Joseph Ady,
stating that he could inform him of something to his advantage,
on the payment of 20s. There was a postscript annexed,
as follows : —lOOOl. In the public funds, references to the
Lord Mayor and Sir Peter Laurie. A long correspondence took
place between the witness and Ady. In one of the letters Mr. Hill
expressed an opinion, that his references were all fudge. Ady re-
plied that the references were not fudge ; that he had taken a bull by
the horns and made him roar all over the world, while St. Dunstan
only made the devil roar at Temple-bar. At last the prosecutor for-
warded the prisoner bs. worth of postage stamps, and Ady sent back
a receipt, promising to return the 53. if nothing resulted from the in-
formation he had to give him. The money, of course, was never re-
turned, and no "advantage" resulted from the Information.
In the cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, Mr. Hill said he was a
merchant and a shareholder in, the London Joint-stock Bank, and
generally resided abroad.

- William Argent, 126 H, said.he took the prisoner into custody on a
charge of obtaining GO postage stamps, and found upon him a post-
office order, dated Hull, for 11. It was signed John Beadle, the re-
ceipt was to it "Joseph Ady."
Mr. BRODERIP—Let that be taken care of.
After some further evidence of no importance,
The prisoner on being called on for his defence said he would leave
it to his attorney.
Mr. BRODEZIP said there was a prima facie case made out, and he
should commit him for trial.

SACREID HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The third and final
performance this season of Haydn's Oratorio, The Creation, is
advertised for Friday, the 22nd inst.
SERIOUS AFFRAY AT BIRD Hu.L.—(From the COT-
respondent of the Evening Packet.)—"A serious affray, attended by
loss of life, took place at Bird Hill on Saturday last, in consequence
of opposition given by a person named Maunsell to the sheriff of the
county (Tipperary), who came with a large party of police to deliver
Possession (under a writ of habere) of a farm from which Maunsell
had been ejected for non-payment of rent. Doctor Twiss attended in
his magisterial capacity, and assisted the under-sheriff in remon-
strating with Maunsell against the preposterous course which be had
adopted, but without effect. He had filled the house with peasantry,
and
fortified The Party within were furnished with large stones and
boiling water, intended to be showered on the heads of '
those who should approach the building. Some of those missiles
were flung at the bailiffs. The doctor and sub-sheriff offered Mann-
sell, who was on the outside of the building, to allow him a week, or
more if necessary, to keep possession, as caretaker, provided he would
give quiet possession, but the offer was rejected. While this parley
VMS going on, the crowd was accumulating at a rapid rate, and it be.
came necessary to command them to disperse by reading the Riot
Act, which was done, but proved alike Ineffectual. The police were
ordered to fire blank cartridges in the direction of the house, but this
experiment also failed. Ultimately the police were ordered to use
balls, which struck a man and a woman in- one of the windows,
whereupon Maunsell ordered the people inside to open the doors.
The sheriff then delivered possession, and arrested five of the leaders
of the opposing party, who have been duly committed for trial. The
persons shot were servants to Maunsell. They have died of their
wourds. An inquest will be held on them neat Monday."
REFUSAL TO BURY A. SUICIDE.—An inquest was held I
On the 15th inst. at the Plough Inn, Piecombe, Sussex, on the body
of Richard Riddles, aged 63, who committed suicide by hanging him-
self. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." The
relations took measures to bury deceased at Newtunber, where he
resided ; but on Sunday afternoon, when they went to the burial-
place, the curate, Mr. Brigsden, refused to bury the body or read the
funeral service, there having been a doubt about self-murder. Mr.
Winter produced the coroner's order for burial, and the curate, in
reply, said he had written to the bishop on the subject, and if they
would wait the bishop's answer he would provide an extra shell to
cover the coffin and keep in the effluvia, which was getting very
offensive. This could not be acceded to, and he then said they might
get another clergyman to bury him, for he would not ; but allowed
the clerk to have a grave dug, and the body was interred between
five and six o'clock in the evening ; but they had neither clergyman,
or clerk, or any official with them, and no ffineral service was read.
