MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Lovz AND JEALOUSY.-illtzry Ann Russell, a girl
having but very slight pretensions to beauty, was yesterday
placed at the bar before E. J. CONANT, Esq., charged
with creating a disturbance at the house of Mrs. Gibbs,
a tobacconist, the corner of Castle and Great Newport
Streets.

The defendant occupies apartments at No. 56, Poland-
street, where she has the pleasure of entertaining, in every
sense of the word, a Mr. Evans, who carries on business
in the vicinity of Lincoln's Inn-fields. " The course of
true love never did run smooth," and so it appeared in the
present instance. After an intimacy of some months the
lady suspected the fidelity of her chere anti, nor were
those suspicions doomed to be wasted on the desert air.
How the lady came to the knowledge there is no opportu-
nity of ascertaining, but certes she did come to some ac-
quaintance with the circumstance of Mr. Evans smoking
his segar at Mrs. Gibbs's. " Trifles light as air are to the
jealous cenfirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ," and
acting on this maxim the !Ay bent her steps towards Mrs.
Gibbs's on Wednesday evening. She entered the shop ;
the serenity of the scene was undisturbed by the presence
of those wights who might wish to indulge in the flavour
of an Havannah. She opened the parlour door, and judge
of her surprise when she found " all that she held most
deir" reclining on a soft, and Mrs. Gibbs enjoying a tete-
a-tete with him. Aliss Russell could no longer restrain
her feelings or her abuse, but poured it forth on the tobac-
conist without mercy. The police were called in, and
the lady was consigned to the apartments of St. Anne's
watchhouse.

The lady when called upon promised not to again
offend, and was discharged.
Two OF A TRADE, &c.—Reuben Marston, an itinerant
vender of vegetables, charged Isaac Jones, a one armed
green-grocer with having given him a good " licking"
last Toeslay.
The complainant said the defendant kept a stall for the
sale of fruit and vegetables in the New-road, and as he did
not, to his fancy, " carve the gentlefolk with the weriy
best particles," lie thought a little " hopposition" might
do no harm, and accordingly he established a rival stall
exactly facing the defendant. The defendant, who en-
joyed the favour and protection of one of the beadles, be-
sought the aid of this important parish functionary, who,
exerting his interest in the defendant's behoof, whispered
the overseer, who spoke to the churchwarden, who laid
the matter before the Board, and the result was that he
received a peremptory order to carry his stall to some other
quarter. Feeling rather sore at this success on the part of
his rival, he thought he was entitled, whe❑ he saw him,
to make a little remonstrance, but his complaint was cut
short by the defendant " pitching" into him with his one
arm, and giving him a sound thrashing.
" Ax your Vorship's pardon," said the defendant, " but
its all werry false vot he's been a saying agin my character.
None of this here vouldn't never have took place hadn't lie
committed the first depredation, by ketching me by the
coat collar and chucking me about the road like a pair of
hold boots. Its all spite in him, because the constitutional
authorities of my parish has allowed me the privilege of
standing in the gutter for the last 15 years to sell my
weggetables, and lie has tried all as ever he knowd to get
the same advantage, but he warn't a no more use nor
nothink. As to the licking, vy vot could setch a poor
cripple like me do agin a man as is not both his arms, and
it aint more nor three months ago afore I'd the pleasure
of breaking my arm, and wos hobligated to go into the
hospital to get it dislocated "

The 'Magi,trates recommended both parties to retire and
setee ete matter. In a few minutes the complainant re.
turned into the office, and said the defendant had given
him satisfizetion, upon which the warrant was dismissed.
