BO W-STREET.

On Tuesday evening, shortly before the usual hour for
closing the office, Sir Charles Wolseley, Bart., of Wolseley
Hall, Staffordshire, formerly so well known in the political
world as connected with Major Cartwright, and other gen-
tlemen of the same political creed, came before Sir F. ROE,
accompanied by a solicitor of Clement's Inn, and applied for
a warrant against Signior Francesco Lovada, an Italian
gentleman, at present at Long's Hotel, Bond-street, for hav-
ing endeavoured to provoke him to a breach of the peace,
by threatening to horsewhip him.
After a short conversation between Sir F. Roe, Sir
Charles Wolseley, and the solicitor, Sir Frederick said,
" Sit down, Sir Charles, for two minutes, and the office
should be cleared." Each person was then, by the direc-
tion of the Chief Magistrate, asked if he or she had any
business, and those who answered in the affirmative were
heard and, with the rest, were desired to withdraw. Our
reporter remained, although motioned towards the door by
one of the officers.
Sir Charles Wolseley then came forward to the bench, and
being sworn, deposed that on that morning the defendant
came to his (Sir C. Wolseley's). solicitor's chambers in
Clement's Inn, where he then was, and produced a horse-
whip, with which he threatened to inflict personal chas-
tisement upon deponent, declaring that he had come all the
way from Lausanne (as we understood) for the purpose of
horsewhipping and disgracing him. Sir Charles added,
that he believed these threats were used, for the purpose
of exciting him to commit a breach of the peace, and that
he had reason to apprehend personal violence from the de-
fendant.
This deposition being read over and signed, a warrant
was granted, and placed in the hands of Steven, the officer,
who went yesterday morning to Long's Hotel, where he
found the Signor at breakfast, and having politely informed
him of the cause of his intrusion and showed his warrant,
the Signor as politely ordered his cabriolet, and drove the
officer to this office. On their arrival Mr. Halls, who was
the sitting Magistrate, was informed by Mr. Burnaby of
the circumstance, and the worthy Magistrate left the
bench and went into the private room, where Sir C. Wolse-
ley was again sworn, and simply repeated that his deposi-
tion of Tuesday evening was true.
The examination did not last more than ten minutes, and
being by order strictly private, we are unable to state what,
or whether any, answer was made to the charge by the de-
fendant., or what the original cause of dispute. might have
been. The result, however, was, that Signor Lovada was
ordered to find bail, himself in 2001., and two sureties in
1001. each, to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's sub-
jects,l and particularly towards Sir Charles Wolseley, for
the ensuing twelve months. Bail was found in about an
hour, and the Signor was liberated.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
SINGULAR CASE.—A master chimney-sweep, named
Wingod, living in Grosvenor-mews, attended yesterday be-
fore Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, to claim as his ap-
prentice a little boy named Osborne, whose friends had got
possession of him, and who refused to deliver him up on the
following novel grounds :
About three years ago the boy in question, then between
eight and nine years of age, was found by a policeman wan-
dering about Pimlico, apparently in a state of destitution.
The boy having stated that he had no friends in London,
and that he had just come from Bath, his story, from
the apparent artlessness with which he told it, was be-
lieved, and ultimately he was taken into the workhouse
of St. George's, Hanover-square, and there maintained
as a sort of foundling. The following year the boy was
s?nt to Mr. Wingod's on liking, and, after having re-
mained for ten months, he was regularly bound appren-
tice by the parish. From that time up to within about six
weeks of the present period, the boy continued to work at
t1:41 business of a chimney-sweep, never once during that
period saying or doing anything which would lead his master
or others to infer that he knew anybody in London, or that
he had ever lived elsewhere than in Bath. The boy having
been accused about six weeks ago of a dishonest act lie ab-
sconded, and after some time his master succeeded in
tracing him out, and to his extreme astonishment disco-
vered that the boy had returned to his friends, and that the
story which he had invented with so much art was a com-
plete fabrication. The father of the boy, a respectable me-
chanic, refused to give him up, alledging his determination
no longer to allow his son to follow the business of a
sweep, and the question consequently arose whether the
binding by the parish was good so as to enable the master
to claim his apprentice.
The father of the boy said about three years ago his son
was sent with a shirt to some place, for which he was to re-
ceive three shillings. The boy never returned, and hand-
bills were immediately printed and circulated, offering a
reward for intelligence respecting him, and containing a
description of his age and person.
The printer produced a copy of one of the bills, and a
relative of the boy's swore that he stuck a number of them
in different parts of the metropolis.
Broomhead, one of the officers of St. George's parish,
did not think that any steps had been taken on the part of
the parish to discover if the boy had any friends in London,
as his story was told with so much plausibility that it was
readily believed.
Mr. Wingod inquired if he could not claim the two
years' maintenance of the boy from his friends.
Mr. CHAMBERS thought he was entitled to some remu-
neration on that account, but as far as regarded his claim
to the future services of the boy there was certainly an end
to that.
Mr. HALL concurred in this opinion, and recommended
the indentures to remain uncancelled, because if the Bench
cancelled them, it would have the effect of making them a
legal instrument, and perhaps cause a question as to the
boy's parish settlement.
The indentures were given to Mr. Wingod, and the boy
was given into the charge of his friends.
CHARGE OF ROBBERY.--UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

Thomas Edwards, a very respectable looking man, was
charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of Thomas
Horrell.

Mr. CHAMBERS inquired for the prosecutor, when
Mr. Abrahams, the inspector of the C division, stated
lat it was all a " mistake," the gentleman had found his

watch.

Mr. CHAMBERS—A very awkward mistake.
Abrahams—They had been having some liquor, and
spending the evening together.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Oh well, if you drink together nntil
you lose your senses, you must take the consequence ; you
must not mind each other's jokes ; they are very harmless
sometimes. He heard of a man, who being under the ef-
fects of liquor, sold his friend, who was more drunk than
himself, to an anatomist.

The gentleman who had given the charge was very sorry ;
he wished to make every apology ; he had afterwards found
his watch. in his trowsers.
Mr. Abrahams could not cancel the charge, as it had
been once taken.

Mr. CHAMBERS—Of course you could not.
The gentleman was then discharged.

MAR YLEB ONE.
Henry Macey, an intelligent little boy, aged 12, was
brought before Mr. Ravvlinson, by a policeman of the D
Division, under the following circumstances :
The constable, on the previous night, was asked by Mr.
Brown, cowkeeper and dairyman, No. 51, Dorset-street,
Manchester-square, to go to the Cross Keys-mews, Maryle-
bone-lane, and to take the boy whom he would find there to
the station-house, as he had run away from home in conse-
quence of the ill-treatment he received from his mother, and
he (Mr. Brown) thought the matter ought to be investi-
gated before a Magistrate. Witness accordingly acted as
desired.

The mother of the lad having been sent for,
Mr. Brown rented apartments in his house. Her hus-
band was a courier, at present in Italy. She had five chil-
dren, and the boy then before the bench, on whom she exer-
cised the greatest cruelty, was the eldest of the male
branches of the family. He was kept in a back room with
scarcely any victuals, and no covering whatever with the ex-
ception of a cotton pinafore for a fortnight together, some-
times not so long, and very often turned out in that state to
sit on the stairs for hours together ; the little sufferer was
also very often severely beaten by its mother, and would
creep down stairs of an evening and ask witness to give him
somethit', to eat, as he had nothing all day. Witness had
also seen him eating potatoe parings which he had taken out
of the dust-hole. About three weeks back witness was
alarmed by hearing the boy screaming in a most alarming
manner, and on going up stairs into the room found him
on the floor, bleeding profusely froni a wound on his face,
his mother on the top of him, striking and kicking him in
a violent manner. On seeing witness, however, she got
up, and he then went down stairs and called in a police-
man, who refused to interfere, as he had not seen any-
thing of the affair, or heard any cries of murder. The
boy had been absent from home since Saturday, only
living upon witness's bounty, who told the policeman to act
as above stated. .

The boy corroborated Mr. Brown's statement, and added
that his mother was in the frequent habit of kicking him,
and taking him up by the legs and knocking his head
against the wall. Here he exhibited his neck which was
very much bruised, as likewise his face.
Mrs. Macey declared that all Brown and her son had
stated was false.
Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing King, the parish officer
(who was in attendance during the examination—l should
wish you to take the boy into the workhouse, and tell the
Directors and Guadians, who can further inquire into the
case, and act as they think proper, or otherwise I will order
the mother to find bail to keep the peace towards him.
Mr. King should be glad if Mr. Brown would appear
before the Board at the workhouse, on Friday, and state to
them what he had now done, and in the meantime the boy
would be taken into the house. .

Mr. Brown would be happy to do so, and the parties left
the office.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Thomas Barrett and William Cooper were
brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with being en-
gaged in the manufacture of illicit spirits.
The appearance of Barrett was laughable in the extreme,
who, although dressed in fashionable style, was so much dis-
guised in consequence of the soot about his person in at-
tempting to make his escape up the chimney from the Ex-
cise officers, that he looked like a sweep.
The defendants were fined 301. each, and in default of
payment were committed for three months to Kingston gaol.
In the course of the day a Dutch Jew, with his face
stained all over with a deep blueish dye, entered the office in
a state of agitation and out of breath. When he recovered
in some degree he endeavoured to speak, but could not arti-
culate so as to be understood, all the time making the most
laughable grimaces in his efforts to clear away the dye stuff
from its near contiguity to his mouth and eyes. Another
Jew, who accompanied him, seeing his friend at a loss for
words, addressed the magistrates, and said that a trick
called " sucking the monkey" had just been played off on
Mister Gotlob, who was almost a stranger in this country.
The magistrate perceived the man's face was covered
with a blue dyestuff, or paint, and inquired what it was all
about ?

Gotlob, who by this time had recovered his breath, said,
" Dey gat me down into de place ; I tink dey want to Buck
me ; and when dey did get me down dis here is de vay dey
sarve me out," pointing at the same time to his face, and
wiping away a portion of the dye from his countenance with
one end of his old clothes bag.
The other Jew intimated that as his friend Mr. Gotlob
could not speak English very fluently, he would speak for
him. " You see de condition of Mr. Gotlob ;" continued
the interpreter, " dis here is de case, your Vorship, he vas a
crying ould coash along de street van he vas called into a
house, and instead of giving him a bargain dey pulled him
down against his vill and consent, and plaistered his face all
over in de manner vich you see, and den sent him about his
business."
The magistrate said that Mr. Gotlob appeared as if he
had been in the company of dyers, and inquired whether it
was by persons of that trade such an extraordinary meta-
morphosis had been effected in his appearance ?
Gotlob (nodding his bead)—Yea, dat is de man dat do
it, at the same time handing a piece of dirty paper to the
magistrate with the name and address of the offending

parties.
The magistrate said that a wnrrant should be issued
against the defendants ; upon which Gotlob said, " Tanks,
dat is all I vant."

DEVOTED ATTACHMENT of an AUSTRALIAN

SAVAGE.

A female, of one of the aboriginal tribes in the Mur-
rumbidgee country, formed an attachment and coha-
bited with a convict named Tallboy, who, becoming a
bushranger, was for a long time sought after by the
police for the many atrocities he had committed, but
always eluded pursuit. This female concealed him
with true native ingenuity, and baffled his pursuers ;
she would fish and hunt for him whilst he remained
secluded in the retreat she chose. She often visited
the stock-keepers' huts at the different stations, and
whatever provision she received from them was imme-
diately conveyed to the unworthy object of her devoted
attachment. Although many knew she was privy to
his concealment, it was found impossible to elude her
vigilance by following her and thus discovering his re-
treat ; she evaded all attempts, and seemed ever watch-
ful for his safety, probably knowing the fate that
awaited him if taken. Neither promises of rewards—
enough to excite the cupidity of any individual but
one in whom a higher feeling was paramount—nor
threats could induce her even to acknowledge she was
acquainted with his place of concealment, much less
betray it. It has occurred more than once, when there
was a fear of discovery, that she has given voluntary
information to the police of having seen him thirty or
fifty miles distant, when in fact his place of conceal-
ment was in the immediate neighbourhood. The
brute, however, manifested no kindred affection with
this female, but would frequently beat and ill use her.
Whilst she administered to him the refreshing cup of
kindness, he bestowed on her misery in return. He
had in one instance given way to his naturally brutish
disposition by ill-treating the being who had done so
much for him : when he was on the verge of discovery
—indeed had himself given up all hopes of escape—
she again saved him by engaging to point out to the
his place of retreat, and led them away under
police
that pretence in a contrary direction, affording her
paramour both time and opportunity to seek out a
safer asylum. When she arrived with the police at
the spot where she had informed them he last was, he
of course was not there, and a strict search in the im-
mediate vicinity was equally unsuccessful. She then
left them to continue the pursuit after the criminal,
pretending to know nothing further respecting him.
At last he was captured by venturing out too boldly
during; her absence, was tried, condemned, and expiated
his offences on the scaffold at Sydney.—Bennete s
IVanderings in Mw South Wales.

BEITH.—We are glad to have it in our power to
announce, that after a severe visitation of six weeks, cholera
has now disappeared.
