SOUTHWARK.

A young man of respectable appearance, whose name did
not transpire, but who described himself as next heir to a
Scotch earldom, entered the court in a hurried manner, and
ascending the witness-box, made an application to Mr. Cot-
tingham relative to the elopement of his wife.
The applicant's statement was to the following effect :
That some time ago being present at one of the theatres,
he was captivated with a young lady who belonged to the
corps de ballet, and having been introduced to her they
were ultimately married. Previously, however, to their
nuptials, it was agreed that she should remain at her father's
house, in which also he took up.his abode, having expended
a considerable sum of money in furnishing that portion of
the dwelling which he and his wife occupied. They lived
in perfect harmony up to within the last few days, when his
wife began to exhibit symptoms of displeasure, although she
did not communicate to hint any cause for such feelings;
and he was the more surprised at the circumstance, as he
could assure the magistrate he uniformly treated her with
great tenderness, and attended with the most scrupulous care
to her wants, always supplying her with all the necessaries
she required. To his utter astonishment, however, on his
proceeding home a day or two ago, be •found that she had
quitted the house, and, on examination, he discovered that
she had taken laway considerable property with her. He
added that he had strong grounds for believing that her family
perfectly well knew when she was, although they denied that
such was the fact, and refused to give him any information
on the subject. Such conduct on their part was calculated to
excite an impression upon his mind that they acquiesced in
the step their daughter had taken.
Mr. COOTINGHAM asked him what assistance he could
render him? and said that he could not find his wife and com-
pel her to return to him again. The magistrate then inquired
if he had any reason to believe she had gone off with any man ?
The applicant said, that since his wife's departure he had
ascertained that a Frenchman used to be seen in her com-
pany when he was from home and engaged in matters con-
nected with the title and estates to which he aspired, and to
which he was the rightful heirs He, however, did not in-
tend to impute infidelity to his wife, but he considered she
acted imprudently in forming such an acquaintance without
his knowledge or concurrence. "If, however," added the
applicant, "my wife will return, I will forgive and forget
everything that has happened, and never allude in anger to
the subject."
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that it did much credit to appli-
cant's feelings. The manner in which he spoke of his wife
had evinced, in a remarkable degree, the strength of his
affection for a woman who seemed unworthy of it. The
magistrate then, in reply to a que,tion from appllcFlt , as to
whether he was responsible for the debts his wife might have
contracted after her elopement, said he was not. He, how-
ever, would advise applicant, in order to guard against such
a contingency, to apprise tradesmen not to give her credit,
either by public advertisement, or any other way which lie
thought best adapted for the purpose.
Tae applicant having thanked the magistrate, withdrew.
WESTMINSTER.

Just before Mr. Burrell left the court, at 5 o'clock on Mon-
day evening, Mr. Henry Walter Parker, late an Assistant
Poor-law Commissioner, who conducted the Andover in-
quiry, applied to the magistrate, and informed him that he
apprehended, from certain expressions used by the Hon John Henry Thomas Manners Sutton towards Mr. William
Dougal Christie, M.P. for Weymouth, in the committee-room
of the Andover inquiry, and of which they both form mem-
bers, that he intended to challenge him to fight a duel. In-
structions were accordingly taken on the oath of Mr. Parker,
and a warrant granted against Mr. Sutton. Instead of this
instrument being placed, as usual, in the hands of the sum-
moning officers of the court to execute, it was, after a great
deal of private conversation, handed over to an inspector,
with certain instructions of a strictly private nature as to
the course he was to pursue. It is quite obvious that the
intention of the authorities was to hush the matter
tip in secresy; but the reporter, having from a private
source received information that this court was to
sit half an hour earlier at least than usual yester-
day morning, was in attendance before the specified
time. What had occurred between the inspector and Mr.
Manners Sutton it is of course impossible to say; but that the
warrant had not been executed upon the gentleman was
evident from the fact of the Hon. Gentleman being driven up
to the private entrance of the Court at ten o'clock in the
morning, accompanied by Mr. Frere, his solicitor. and
another gentleman. Mr. Frere, having been admitted by
the magistrates' entrance, was ushered into the justices'
private room, the two others being left in the carriage.
After the lapse of four or five minutes Mr. Burrell arrived,
and was engaged for a short time in conversation with Mr.
Frere, when Mr. Burrell advanced into the Court, and with
an air of embarrassment hastily called for the clerk, and on
his appearance motioned him towards the private room,
whither they repaired, and in a moment afterwards Mr.
Sutton and the other members of the party. In such haste
was the matter conducted that the hall door was left open
and remained so for five minutes, when Mr. Frere, Mr. Man-
ners Sutton, and the ether gentlemen, precipitately left. It

was allesrd hat the matter ended on Mr, Tiurrell';
assured that there was no hostile feeling en the part of ge
Sutton, and there being no necessity fur a hearing.
THAMES:
THE USE OF TIM KNIFE. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Yesterday, a well-dressed young Irishwoman, named.
Margaret Hayes, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charet
with feloniously cutting and wounding William Tbo)Tr_

the last four months. They lived at No. 19, Gill-strbeest!
Limehouse, where, it appeared, very frequent quarrels

taken place between them, arising from the jealousYthve
the woman. On the 10th instant• she stabbed him in e
arm with a fork. She was given into custody for the outra,g_.:
but her paramour did not appear against her. On 1103°,?,.
night several friends visited the parties, and the prisonef,";
came jealous of a female, one of her visitors. After Da_,4
had parted with them at the door, the prisoner commeuu;
abusing him, and said, "she saw his doings," which obis
sisted of nothing more than a friendly parting arouse'
guests. The jealousy of the woman was, however. ar
and after Balls had undressed himself and was about to f;
into bed, she threw a candlestick at him, and cut open"

head; and before he had time to recover himself, she „
tacked him with a knife in her hand, and cut his nose ..7,15,

and the prosecutor exclaimed, " For God's sake, don't

me, what have I done ?" and called for a Iviice—e-e
The prisoner begged of him not to give her in clierge:;ee.
said that what she had done was in the height of Peit d
The man, however, had been so often annoyed and assaii
by her, that he gave her into custody of policeman 9i.ied
who found the man all over blood. The prisoner col:ice-to
herself in a wa e—closet, where she was discovered by be
constable, who dragged her from her hiding place. 911 her
eatingway to the station-house she stated that she was 01

struck her several times with his fist; that he fell upon
and that she, having a knife in her hands, cut him by t"ote-
dent. She made a similar statement in her deferce be

the magistrate, and added that he had threatened to be ten
venged on her on Monday night. The whole of her st3.he
ment was denied, and the evidence clearly made out thetTe,
nea
was a passionate woman, and deliberately threw the -
stick at the man and wounded him with a knife.
cut Mr. BRoDERIP committed the prisoner for trial for e 'll
and wounding Balls, with intent to do him grievousetrfito
harm. The worthy magistrate then expressed hit of
of
the following effect:—Not a week elapses without
this description being brought before'me, and it is 13" r
able to observe the frequency of resort to the knife in
rels even of a most trivial nature—a practice which wiw be
merly termed un English ; but that epithet will, I r../ptO
inapplicable if these murderous acts are not speetli3Jlo
down. I am glad to see that the Learned Recorder of
lee
don has expressed his intention of visiting with:BBoS
punishment every case of stabbing or cutting nia—
ag dna any delinquent."
The prisoner was then sent to Newgate.
