HATTON-GARDEN.

Sarah Shorter, charged with having administered a
quantity of laudanum to the infant child of Mr. Richard
Parry, of Cannonbury-street, Islington, was again brought
up for examination.

- Mr. Parry stated that the child was quite out of danger,
and, hoping that the punishment which the prisoner hail
already received would operate as a caution upon her
future conduct, he would decline a further prosecution.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON said there was some difficulty in
the case, and he could not believe that she gave the poison
with intent to do harm. Without such proof the misde-
meanour would fail.

The prisoner was then placed at the bar, and after au
appropriate admonition was discharged.

A " DISAGREEABLE PARTNER."--A middle-aged
haldhead man, with a most woful countenance, applied to
the MAGISTRATE for a warrant against his wife, whu, he
said, had broken his head and his peace of mind, and was
tormenting him out of his life.
" Please your Worship," said the applicant, it's the
misfortune of my life to have a disagreeable partner, whei

the hapless benedict, heaving a long drawn sigh, " you

don't know how unhappy I am."

ItlAGlsraaTE—Weil; what has she done to you
plicant—Please your Worship, I am a man who has to be
out a great deal on business, and when I comes home I
generally finds her inebriated, your Worship, with a novel
and a gin•bottle before her, and if I says, " Julia. my dear,
go to bed," she gets up and beats me with a stick, and
says no husband shall rule over her. On Sunday morn-
ing, your Worship, she threw a cup of tea in my face, be-
cause I said it wasn't sweet enough ; and she said if I
stayed at home all day she would torment my life out, so
to please her, I went out all day, and when I came home
she beat me with my son's cricket-bat, just four feet long,
four inches wide, and two inches thick.

But why do you bear all this so patiently ?—Oh, dear,
your Wur,hip, she would murder me if I offered to touch
her. Do you know, Sir, that one night she made me
sleep on the floor because I offended her, and broke my
head with a broom haudie, five feet long and four inches
round in thickness. Look at the swelling.—Here he dis-
played a large lump on his cranium.
Alagistrate—Very well, take your warrant.
Applicant.—She only allows me clean linen once 4
week ; she is the bane of my existence.
Magistrate—Take your warrant.
Applicant—l cannot live with her; it is impossible, Sir.
Magistrate—Take your warrant.
The applicant was about to detail some more grievances,
when the door opened, and a female applicant entered..-

to the other end of the office, evidently much alarmed.
The Magistrate inquired what was the matter ?.--"
