MAR YLEB ONE.

John Baxter, a man of respectable appearance, carrying
on an extensive business as a locksmith and bellhanger, at
No. 10, Sale-street, Paddington, was yesterday placed at
the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON,
charged with stealing a quantity of table-linen, &c., the pro-
perty of John Mayo, Esq., No. 31, Connaught-terrace,
Edgware-road.

Eliza Appleby, housemaid in the service of the prosecu-
tor, deposed that on the 2d of this month the prisoner was
employed in repairing some bells in her master's house.
About five o'clock in the afternoon witness went up stairs,
when in passing her mistress's bedroom she saw the prisoner
turning over the things in the bottom drawer of a chest of
drawers ; she immediately went down stairs and told a
painter who was at work on the premises of the circum-
stance, and he advised her to go up stairs again and watch
the prisoner's motions. She accordingly said she would,
but on arriving at the top of the landing the prisoner came
out of the room, and attempted to pass, but she stopped
him, saying, " What have you been doing at mis-
tress's drawers ?" He replied, " Nothing." Seeing, how-
ever, something bulge out his coat, which was buttoned,
she undid it, when she took a tablecloth from beneath
his waistcoat, and from his pockets two caps, two nap-
kins, and two pieces of lace, and also two silk
handkerchiefs, which she found hid between his shirt
and skin on the chest. While searching him he did not
offer the least resistance, but having taken every thing
from him he put one of his cards into her hand, telling her
that if she would not say any thing about it to her master,
and would call upon him, he would make her a present of
u five-pound note. He then ran down stairs, and she felt
so overcome that she could not follow him. On her
master's return home she told him what had happened, and
he then applied at this Office for a warrant to apprehend
the prisoner. The prisoner must have picked the locks, as
they were fastened, and her mistress had the keys.
A man, dressed like a mechanic, here stepped forward

and said he had a few words to say about the prisoner. He
stated that his name was Robert Delacy, and that. abot.it
seven years ago he and the prisoner were journeymen
the employ of Messrs. Wedd, Wallis, and Day, iron-
mongers, of Oxford-street, and were engaged in hanging
bells at the premises of Lord Bagot, Great Cumberland-
street, when witness often observed the prisoner at drawers
and places where he had no business, and on one occasion
saw him pocket a pair of pumps with silver buckles. He
after that refused to work where the prisoner was, and on
being asked by his employers the reason he told them, upon
which they discharged the prisoner from their service. The
prisoner had also, while employed at the house of Lord
Saltoun, Great Cumberland-street, robbed one of the fe-
male servants of some money, and she afterwards proved
to be with child by him. He had since that been com-
mitted to prison for robbing Messrs. Adams and Morris, of
Westminster-road, of materials with which he was en-
trusted .to furnish a house in the country.
The prisoner, who did not seem at all surprised at the
last witness's statement, but still persisted in being innocent
of the charge, was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
AN IRISH Row.—Morris Laky,,,a shock-headed Pat-
lander, charged Patrick Ryan, principal master-mixer to
his Majesty's builders, with having "kilt" him on Tuesday
last with a carving knife.

The complainant early on Tuesday morning was
nothing "at all at all, barring takinc, the laste drink of Po-
teen wid his own cousin, Harry Lahy," when the defendant,
"in the fit of an ould grudge," came softly behind him,
"riz up his fist, and hit him such a blessed whack wid !t,
that his sensibility was knocked dame out of him." 1„
pure self-defence, according to the complainant's story, lie
riz up the laste bit of a paving stone, not bigger than
u
Dennis 11/Pearty's double fist," and returned Morris's com-
pliment by a blow on his head, which knocked him on the
" broad of his back." Mrs. Lahy, spying the situatien of
affairs, run out with a carving-knife, and having
husband with it, the complainant took to his heels, followed
by his enraged antagonist, who made a thrust at him wlt,ll_
such good will, that, had it taken effect, both combatants
would have stood a good chance never more to revisit the
shores of the "first flower of the ocean, first gem of the
sea."
In defence, Morris Lahy said—Pl h ner to

friends, that I took a hoult of the knife ; but I did not tryi
to hurt him wid the likes of it. There is Dennis MacartiL
and one or two other wetnusses outside the dare (said trie
complainant), and they'll spake different.
Dennis Macartly having been called in and sworn, after
o
crossing himself devoutly, said—" Be the breadth of rn

Well, said Mr. DYER what' do you know about the
assault ?—Nothing at all, b' me oath, said Dennis, for I

The MAGISTRATE having ascertained that the statem
respecting the carving-knife was correct, remarked that e
attempt to use a knife could not be passed over, and ther'
fore the defendant must find bail.

severely cut with the "life-preservers" by their desP,e7,k,
