GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

MATRIMONIAL FELICITY.—Ann Osborne was charged
by Richard Smith, a watchman, with being drunk and
kicking up a disturbance at her own door, in Redcross-
square, at three o'clock this morning. The watchman
stated, that at the hour in question he heard cries of
murder proceeding from the door of the prisoner's house,
on arriving at which he found the prisoner, together with
her husband, as usual, very drunk.
The huo,and, who was in the office, here came forward
and said, "Please your Worship, this man will say anything
or swear to any thing if we won't give him liquor; but give
him a drop of gin, and be will be as quiet as a mouse. I
have kept the house I now live in for 16 years, and there
was never anything heard of me and my wife getting
drunk till he came amongst us. Upon my word, neither
my wife nor myself were drunk ; and I will put it to you,
Mr. Alderman, if we could be so, when we had only had a
pot of ale and a pot of half-and-half.—(Laughter.) As
to my wife's being drunk—Lord bless you, she was only
out of temper—(Great laughter)—and as to myself, my
character will bear inspection at any time.
The watchman swore positively that they were both
drunk, and made use of expressions to him which he
would be ashamed to repeat.
The ALDERMAN, to the husband—Go by the side of
your wite in the dock, Sir ; one, I see, is as bad as the
other. I shall fine you both ss. for being drunk. The
Husband—Very well, Mr. Alderman, I have no money
to pay.
The ALDERMAN—WeII, then, you must both be
locked up.
The prisoners were then removed from the bar, the wife,
who was evidently not yet sober, crying bitterly, and
praying of the Alderman to let them go. The wife in a
few minutes afterwards was again brought up, and on
her promising not to offend in future, was ordered to be
discharged, the Worthy Alderman stating that her hus-
band would be kept in custody till the 10s. was paid.
The Wife—Do let my husband go this time, your
Worship, he will never be able to pay the money, as we
were obliged to pledge several things to pay our last rent.
The Alderman was inexorable, and the wife quitted the
office crying, " Oh ! my dear husband ;" " What will
become of him ?" The manner in which these ejaculations
were poured forth excited in no small degree the risible
faculties of all present.
