Mrs. Burke—l live next door but one to the pr

Boner, and never heard or saw anything that could
induce me to believe in this charge against her, until
I read it, as every one else has, in the newspapers.
Mr. Arnold—l have lived in the neighbourhood.
16 years, and knew the prisoner before her mar-
riage. She has a first-rate character, and a family.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Officer, from whom did you hear
that carriages had been seen at the prisoner's door,
and that she had this notorious character ?

Horton—From some of the neighbours, sir ; and
even as I came to:this court with her, persons in
the street observed, " So Mrs. M'Donald, you have
caught it at last."
Mr. Gomm—Then why are not those persons in
attendance to corroborate the statement?

Horton—They would not come, as they expressed
a great objection to have their names read in the
newspapers. •
Mr. D'Eyncourt—The witnesses called in behalf
of the prisoner appear respectable, and I cannot
suppose they have committed perjury ; but it is
manifest she has taken advantage of two very weak
persons in Mrs. Gable and her daughter. Such acts
must be put a stop to—the weak intellect are likely
to be so affected by them as to become in time half
insane, and I really believe that poor Mrs. Gable
ef
and her daughter are in such a condition from their
fears having been worked upon. I send the pri_
soner for 21 days to the House of Correction.
The prisoner, who had faceconcealedhegreratm

the whole time evidence was received, then burst
into tears, and was removed to the cells, Mrs. Gable
and daughter being followed by a
both sexes when they left the court.

THE PENNY PRESS."" Born to die," says the
Staffordshire Advertiser. seems the ordinary fate of the
cheap papers of which the repeal of the Stamp Act pro-
duced so large a crop. The repeal
Observer, a paper
half printed in London, has ceased to appear ; and a similar
fate has happened to the _Dudley Express, originated by a
limited liability company, which was formerly printed in
South Staffordshire, the matter being, by a plan now becoming
common, the groundwork of a second paper published in a
neighbouring town. The proprietors of these papers do not
appear to have been equal to the achievement of publishing
papers without any literary or reporting staff, or any readers
except their advertisers, who probably do not imagine that
they are paying merely to haves the satisfaction of seeing
their own announcements in print."
[ADvErtmEmENT.)—Holloway's Pills, a sure Remedy
for Indigestion, Bile, and Disordered Stomach.—Mr. P.
O'Brien, of Newtownards had frequent attacks of bile and
indigestion, particularly after indulging in the luxuries of
the table. His appetite was good, but his digestion weak,
which obliged him to have recourse to medium. He sel-
dom obtained more than temporary relief. At last Hollo-
way's Pills were recommended to him, and he soon became
a changed man. He can now eat heartily without fear of
after pain. What he eats does him good. These pills have
