Mr. DYER differed in opinion with the husband,
and directed the full amount of the fare, with the
costs, to be paid by the defendant.
Mary Ann Lear, a young woman of respectable
appearance, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged
with going to St. George's I lospilal, and annoying
one of the medical attendants.
The complainant, a fashionably-dressed young
man, whose name did not transpire, was acting a,
the house surgeon to the hospital, when the female,
whom he had known for some time, came into the
hospital, and began creating a disturbance; he went
up and begged of her to be quiet, and to go home;
instead of acceding to his wishes, she continued her
noise, disturbed every person in the hospital, and
assaulted him. lie at length was obliged to give
her into custody. He perhaps ought to state that
the female had affirmed that he was the father of a
child which she said was born a few backs, but he
had great doubts whether she ever had a child.
The female, in reply, had lived with the com-
plainant for three years, and having an infant to
support, she on Tuesday wrote a note, requesting
him to call and see her, as she was in want of
money ; this he refused to do, and she tken went to
the hospital, and upon seeing him said, " William,
are you not ashamed of yourself ?" She had hardly
spoken the words before he pushed her violently,
and she then did make a noise.
Complainant—l have given her money as far as
my means will allow, but as I have before stated, I
have peat doubts of her having a child, for she had
only been confined for three weeks as she states,and
yet upon last Friday week I find she was out all
night.
Prisoner—The reason I was out arose from my
being indebted 255. for rent, and being unable to pay
it, I was turned out.
Complainant—All I want is for her to keel:
away; and if she has had a child, I am ready to di,
that which the law requires; but I know this state-
ment of her's is made for the purpose of enabling
her to annoy me; for not being satisfied with my
own opinion, she has been seen by a very eminent
gentleman, and he says that her appearance is more
like a female who is encimte, than a female who
has been so recently confined.
Mr. DYER pointed out the folly of acting as she
had done, and, at the wish of the complainant, she
was discharged. It was stated that the complainant
had been absent for seven months in the West
Indies, and upon his return, the female informed him
that he had had the honour of becoming a father.

POPAY, THE SPY.—Williant Steward Popay
the late spy employed by tiovernment, now living
at No. 8, Park-place, Lock's-field:2, Walworth, ap
peared before the Magistrates, Messrs. MURRAY
and HILLYARD, on a peace warrant, charged by Mr.
W. Dean (late inspector of the police force, who
was discharged from that body on account of having
spoken his mind upon the late Calthorpe-street
affair), with assaulting him under the following cit.-
eumstances :—Mr. Dean stated that about ter.
o'clock on Monday evening he left the Cottage of
Content, and was going up King-street on his wa)
home, when he met Popay, who came up to him and
called complainant as assassin, a monster, and used
other expressions to excite witnesq, who, seeing two
other policemen by, thought it a plan to get him into
trouble, and therefore thought he would put up with
the insult. Popay also put his first in complainant'.
face.—Magistrate : This is an assault warrant, and
you have taken out a peace warrant. What have
you to say ? (to Popay)—Popay : He had no ob-
jection to enter into recognizances to keep the
peace. He had nothing to say to the charge. Hi,
character, he could say, was respected by eve•y
officer in the police force. The statement of the
complainant was false ; and if comparison were to
be made between his character and that of hi,
opponent, he (Popsy) was in no doubt that his
would stand scrutiny. The complainant and a man
of the name of Price were at the Elephant and
Castle on the 21st, who insulted him grossly there.
The lower pardon of the mob had called him a
monster, and said that he had blood-money in hi,
pocket.—Magistrate : Are you really in danget
from this man ?—Complainant: I am, Sir; and I
have been told to be particularly cautious how 1
acted. Popay having found bail on his own recog-
nizance, was then allowed to depart.
LAMBETH-STREET.
PREJUDICES AGAINST STEAM-CARRIAGES.—Yes.
terday Mr. Joint Haines, a corn and hay-dealer,
ii
the Whitechapel-road, appeared before the sitting
Magisttates at this office, Mr. 'WALKER and the
Rev. Mr. MATTHIAS, on a summons, charging him
with having wiltully and maliciously driven his cart
against a steam omnibus, belonging to Mr. Waite)
Hancock, of Stratford, and calling on him to show
cause why he should not be adjudged to pay the
amount of damage he had occasioned.
Mr. Pollock, a solicitor, called Mr. Walter Han-
cock, the patentee of the Paddington steam omni-
bus, who on Friday afternoon, the 23d of last month,
took an experimental journey with the " Autopry,"
r new steam omnibus, from his factory at Stratford
to town. On arriving at Whitechapel High-street,
he turned round and stopped the machine, opposite
the Red Lion Inn, where some of the gentlemen
who were inside got out to have some refreshment.
While in this situation, the defendant, who was in
nis cart at the time, drove up and stopped in front
of the omnibus. He, Mr. Hancock, being about to
start for Stratford, requested, and even entreated
the defendant to pull out of the way, as, from the
situation in which he was placed, and several thou-
sand persons being attracted to the spot by the ap-
pearance of the vehicle, he feared he conld not,
whit safety to himself, his friends in the omnibus,
or the. defendant himself, otherwise get off. The
defendant, in reply to his entreaties, said, that the
