ADVENTURES OF A CONVEYANCER'S CLERK.—
John Gills, a tall, thin, straight-haired young man,
of decent exterior, who described himself as clerk
to Mr. Hullock, conveyancer, Lincoln's Inn, was
charged by a dashingly-dressed young female, named
Mary Ann Sumner, residing at No. 95, Albany-
street, Regent's Park.
The prisoner became acquainted with the com-
plainant, a lady of easy virtue, about six years ago,
at which time they lived together, but had subse-
quently separated. He had not seen her for more
than two years till Tuesday evening, when, passing
the house on business, he took the liberty of calling
to ask how she was, but was refused admittance.
Wishing to see her, and suspecting that she was
within, he persisted in having an interview, when
he was given in charge.
Complainant said she could not be annoyed by
the prisoner, that she was in danger of her life,
and that she must beg of the Magistrate to hold
him to bail.

The prisoner said he did not wish to annoy the
complainant; he merely called on Tuesday evening
to ask her civilly after her health. He could only
deplore the first time that he became acquainted
with the complainant ; she had been his total ruin;
through his connection with her he had been discard-
ed by his family, who would not now afford him
the least assistance. He hoped the Magistrate '
would set him at liberty, for he had lately obtained
a situation, which in consequence of his then un-
fortunate situation he had no doubt be should lose.

The complainant not being willing to forgive him
he was ordered to find bail.

THE COSTERMONGER AND HIS DONKEY.—Jon
Dickenson, a well-known Westminster costermon-
ger, renowned throughout the city for turning his
hand to anything, not very particular what it may
chance to be, was charged by Charley Hallett, a
brother costetmonger, somewhat advanced in years,
with having swindled him out of his donkey and
cart in a most shameful and uncostermongerlike
manner.

Charley commenced his address by expressing
himself werry sorry that he was obligated to come
forrard against a gentleman in the perfession, as he
was himself ; but, added Charley, with a sigh, " to
be regularly svindled by a man I calls my pal is too
bad."

Complainant was ordered to come to the point.
Charley— `Very veil then, this here is the
pint. Once upon a time, a few days agone,
I has a wery fine hanimal of a donky, as your
Vortship vould vish to look upon. It vorn't a
donkey, as the song says, " vot vouldn't go," but a
regular out-and.outer at drawing my bit of a drag.
Veil, Jem comes to me rather a bit of a svell, and
says he to me, " charley, l'se a going to make a
tower in the country, and I vants to borrow your
donkey and drag." Vell, ve has a quortin of max,
and Jem agrees to give me a bob a day, and, as you
See, he takes avay the precious hanimal and the drag.
I considered Jem as a werry honest sort of chap,
and, thinking as how he had got a tolerable goodish
job in drawing bricks and mortar for this tower,
