A RELATlON.—Yesterday Glass, one of the messengers
of St. Margaret's Workhouse, attended before Mr. WHITE
to communicate to him the result of an application he bad
made, to the relations of a young female, named Louisa
Charrington, who had attempted to drown herself in the
enclosure of St. James's Park.

It appeared that a few days ago the female in question
had attempted suicide in St. James's Park, and was rescued
from a watery grave by a police constable, and brought to
this office, when she stated that she had been turned out of
doors by her relations, and she was consigned to the ears
of the parish officers. After she had been recovered from
the effects of the shock, Glass found out that she bad a
brother-in-law living in St. Martin's-street, Leicester-square.
This man was married to her sister, and he took her to him,
but he at once refused to receive her, and said that he had
quite enough to keep without her. He (Glass) was rather
surprised at his reception, and represented to him that his
unfortunate relation attempted to drown herself. He replied
that he did not care, she should not come to his house, and
she might go and drown herself again if she liked. He then
asked to see her sister, but he refused, and said that his
wife should have nothino• to do with her. The young
woman appeared deeply affected, and cried most bitterly.
He offered to take her back to the workhouse until some-
thing could be done for her, but she did not like the idea of
returning to the workhouse, and said that she would go to
a frienq who had always behaved withthe greatest kindness
to her, and on a previous occasion had got her a situation
He inquired who it was, and she informed him. He be-
lieved that she was a respectable woman, and he left her to
go there.
Mr. WHITE expressed his regret that her brother-in-law
would not protect her.

Glass said that if he heard of any situation likely to suit
her he had promised to inform her of it.
Mr. WHITE commended him for his conduct, and said
that he should always be happy to hear that she was doing
well.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday Mr. Edward Wells, the proprietor of the Sir
Hugh Middleton Tavern, Sadler's Wells, was brought to
this office on a warrant, charging him with having assaulted
Mr. Mugglestone, surgeon, of Brewer-street, Somers'-town.
Complainant being sworn, stated that on Friday night
last he accompanied a gentleman, a friend of his, to Sadler's
Wells Theatre, and after the performance they proceeded
to the Sir Hugh Middleton Tavern for refreshment, the
time being about twelve o'clock. Whilst before the bar a
man struck his friend, and a quarrel ensued, which witness
being anxious to quell, he appealed to Mr. Wells for pro-
tection. He, however, refused to afford it, on which wit-
ness said, " It seems that you know the party ;" when de-
fendant replied, "If you say so it's a lie." Witness ob-
served, " No, you are the liar," and Mr. Wells then struck
him a violent blow on the eye.
Mr. Wells said that on the night in question the com-
plainant and his friend entered his house, and the latter
accused a hay salesman, who was standing before the bar,
of stealing his spectades, and, moreover, struck him.
Blows ham..b been exchanged, Mr. Mugglestone interfered,
and requested him to give him the name and address of the
hay salesman. He (Mr. Wells) answered that he was un-
able to tell either, and that he only knew his trade ; when
complainant called him a liar, and in the course of his
abuse added every vulgar term to the uncourteous epithet,
and did every thing to ruffle his temper. He certainly did
tap him on the face with his open hand, but he positively
denied the violence attributed to him.

Mr. Sergeant SELLON thought the complainant bad
brought it upon himself. It was not pleasant to be called
a liar, and, under the circumstances, he should dismiss the
warrant on payment of costs.
Mr. Wells complied with the order of the worthy magis-
trate, and was immediately discharged.
