_ .
Yesterday a journeyman tailor, named. Charles Page,
was placed at the bar before Mr. TWYFOUD, charged with
having attempted to commit suicide.

The man was an experienced workman, and resided with
his wife and family at No. 9, Susannah-row, Shoreditch.
He had formerly been employed by some of the first master
tailors in London, and was, up to the time of the late strike,
in constant employ. He had for some time refused to join
the " Journeymen Tailors' Union," but was ultimately,: in-
duced to do so by threats that were held out against him.
He had not been a member more than a week before a ge-
neral strike in the trade was agreed on, by which means he
was thrown out of employ, and had not since done any
work at his trade to enable him to earn a shilling for .the
support of his wife and children. This preyed on his mind,
and he had been frequently heard to say that he was tired
of his life, and the sooner he put an end to his existence
the better, as it was through his own folly in a great mea-
sure, for joining the Union. While conversing with a
friend on Monday evening, at his own house, he suddenly
got up from his chair, and said that he would do then for
himself, as it was no use for him to live longer, and' in-
stantly seized a razor, with which he attempted to cut his
throat, but was fortunately prevented. Shortly after lie
was discovered by his wife in the bed-room hanging to a
railing of the bedstead by a silk handkerchief, and nearly
dead. He was immediately cut down by a neighbour of
the name of Richard Madden, who, on hearing the alarm
raised by his wife, went to her assistance, and by the prompt
attendance of medical aid he was, after a lapse of about
half an hour, restored, and on regaining his senses hd re-
gretted much
that he had been saved. The unhappy man
was then taken to the station-house, where he betrayed evi-
dent symptoms of insanity.
Mr. TWYFORD did not wish to hurt the poor man's
feelings further by any observations which he might make,
but it was highly requisite for him to be kept under re-
straint, and he should recommend that he be conveyed to
a lunatic asylum forthwith.
Several of the poor fellow's friends and relatives who
were present, and appeared greatly afflicted at his melan-
choly state, were of the same opinion as the Magistrate,
and said they would endeavour to get him into St. Luke's.
Mr. TWYFORD inquired what was to become of him in
the meanwhile, as it was unsafe for him to beat liberty ?
The friends undertook to pay every attention to his ma-
lady until the required arrangements for placing him under
restraint could be completed.
The prisoner, whose actions while at the bar convinced
all present of his insanity, was then by the Magistrates's
'order given over to his friends.
Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, a Petty Sessions was
held at this office, before Mr. TWYFORD, to afford upwards
of 300 of the inhabitants of St. Luke's parish an opportu-
nity to show cause why they neglected to pay the poor-
rates. Many pleaded poverty, and others that they were
too high rated ; but they were all ordered to pay within
seven days.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Simpson, a clergyman of the
Church of England, who is Chaplain to Whitechapel work-
house, and also to the National School in St. Mary's-street,
Whitechapel, appeared before the sitting Magistrates,
Messrs. WALKER and COMBE, to answer to a warrant which
charged him with assaulting a lad of ten years of age.
The complainant on Wednesday last was spinning his
top with other boys at the end of Plumber's-row, and oppo-
site to the house where Mr. Simpson lives, when that gen-
tleman rushed out with a large stick and struck him with it
several times as hard as he could.
The rev. defendant had suffered great annoyance from

the boys in the neighbourhood congregating before his win-
dows, and practising various sorts of games. On the day
in question the complainant and several others be
were therte ;
and on their being told to go away they all did so but
complainant, who remained in spite of all remonstrances.
He (Mr. S. in consequence went out with the stick which
he then carried in his hand, and on his desiring the com-
plainant to be off he ran for a stone to throw at him, upon
which he struck him a few blows.
A young lady named Nash deposed to having seen the
boy spinning his top opposite the window of Mr. Simpson,
when that gentleman rushed out of his house, followed the
boy, who had ran away some distance, and struck him se-
veral times with a stick in a very severe manner over _his
back d shoulders.
The anrev. gentleman was then convicted in the penalty of
10s. and costs, which he paid and was discharged.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
C. O'Dwyer, Catharine O'Dwyer, and Margaret Connor,
father, mother, and step-daughter, were yesterday re-e%r
amined, charged with stealing two silver spoons, a Lord
fork, and other articles of plate, the property of
Manners.
The Magistrate, after making further inquiries, from
which he learned that the mother was a beggar, and ~
frequently been detected going down areas of gentlemenv
houses, committed her for trial, and detained the other
