count of the farm, that they would rather be iri the
ditches than in the beds.
Mr. Booker declared that the marsger at, the
farm took care that the greatest cleanliness should
be observed. It was remarkable that all the poor
dependants on the parish who were industrious were
perfectly satisfied with the accommodation and the
employment, which was most wholesome, without
being very laborious.
Another of the paupers—We was afraid to go,
my Lord, for fear of the warmint. The people as
did go used to put their foot upon 'em, and they
went off like crackers.--(Laughter.)
Several persons bore testimony to the excellence
of the establishment.

The LORD MAYOR said he did not know what
to do with the three complainants,except toput them
in the workhouse.

Upon hearing this they walked out without
saying a word.
A young woman named Ann Smith, complained
against the parish fficers of St. Gabriel, Fenchurch-
street-, for having refused 'o relieve her. The
beadle told a most extraordinary story of this ap-
plicant.
She had, he said, a trick of scaling the workhouse
walls when she took it into her head to have a spree.
It might he said that she was born and bred in the
workhouse: she was twenty-two years old, and had
been put into many situations, but she could never
be prevailed upon to stay in any one of them longer
thin a few months together.
The LORD MAYOR asked why she scaled the
wails of the wot khouse ?
The beadle said that she could not bear confine-
ment, and that when it was supposed she was safe
in bed she was parading the streets. She returned
generally with scarcely a stitch upon her, and quite
knocked up with d'ssipation; but the moment she
was recruited by rest and temperate living over the
walls she bounced, and away to Kent-street or some
other terrible neighb turhood. At length she was
sent to Reigate to a farmhouse, but she soon
took an objection to that situation, and scaled the
walls arid walked up to town, and here she was after
her journey.
'I he LORD MAYOR asked the unfortunate creature
where she had slept on the preceding night ? She
replied in Kent-street.
The beadle said that she had previously left an
excellent situation because she was not allowed to
stay out late at night.
The girl said she had left the place because she
and her mistress disagreed.

The LORD MAYOR—What did you fall out about
Anne Saudi— Why, she would have me come home
at eight n'el.ck.

The LORD MAYOR—And so as you would not
keep such hours she gave you notice to quit ? Anne
Smith—No. 1 gave her notice.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—And why did you quit Rel.
give? Anne Smith—Because it was too confined.
The doors were always closed on us.
Hi% LORDSHIP, who compa.sionated the wretched
girl, advised her to go to Reigate, and abide by thr
regulations e-tablished there.
She said she would try it again, but she could
not say how soon she might think it neces..ary to
come up to town.

HATTON.GARDEN.

Joan Boellie, art Iraltan minstrel, in the habit o
plying an organ and catrytng a frightful monkey
abut the town, was brought before Mr. Sergeant
SELLON stud M,. LAING, In the custody of a pol,ce,
man of the E division, who saw the prisoner it
Tavistock-square playing his organ and leading t•
monkey of terrific appearance with a string, anti oa
seeing ladies pass by, the animal, in consequence of
some priva e manoeuvre of the prisoner, would ru,li
at them and taltnost alarm them into hysterics.
Having received several complaint- from respeciabl,
inhabitants of such nuisances, witness kept a look
out for such f, flows as the prisoner, who made it 11
practice to proceed about streets for the purpose of
annoying ladies and peaceable inhabitant- by plays
tog discordant tunes opposite their houses, for the
purpose of extracting money from them to get no
of the nuisance. On seeing he prisoner on Thurs-
day following ladies with the ordinary monkey he
saw the animal lush upon them to bite them, and
actually clog to their apparel, when be took them
into custody to the station-house. The monkey
wits about three and a half feet high, dressed iii
military costume, with a French foraging cap,which
was cocked on one side, so as to give him a peal-
haily cunning or shrewd look.
On belng brought into the presence of the
gistrates, on the lap of his master's orgsn, he cast
side glance at Mr. LAING as if he recognised his
authority, and he immediately doffed the foraging
cap and bowed respectfully to his worship, and pu
the cap under his arm with all the ar.p...car cane of
a person of fashion; and while Mr. Mullett was
writing the evidence Jocko seemed to eye him with
considerable jea ousy, under the evident impression
that the clerk would be instrumental to the infliction
of the laws and penalties, while the fierceness of his
looks indicated the ferocity of his disposition, and
was fully corroborative of the officer's evidence.
Mr. LAING inquired whether any of the ladies
haul been injured by the creature.
Officer--I don't think that they were injured,
your Worship, but they were dreadfully terrified.
On going to their assistance I was dreadfully at-
tacked by the monkey, who flew at me and bit my
legs and feet, and he would have injured me if I
laid not had a thiek pair of trousers and boots up
me. He clung to my legs, and I had great difficulty
at getting him off.
The Magistrates considered it was a disgraceful
nuisance, and ordeied .he defettoent to find bail, for
which he was committed.
