MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Adolphus Boughton, an attorney's clerk, pos-
sessing a luxuriant crop of hair, very nattily arranged,
was brought before Mr. CONANT yesterday for ha-
ving created a disturbance, by threatening to do
some grievous bodily harm to one Mr. Richard
Simpson.
The policeman who captured Mr. Boughton said
he wac compelled to take him into custody in con-
sequence of finding him, at a late hour on Wednes-
day night, while under the effects of gin and water,
uttering in an elevated tone of voice to a crowd of
person: the most magnanimous menaces against

Mr. Richard Simpson:
Mr. Adolphus Boughton prefaced his defence
with an engaging simper, and assured the Magistrate
he considered himself fully justified in the course
he had adopted. The fact was, he had met Mrs.
Simpson that afternoon, but not, as supposed by
Mr. S., by appointment, and, out of pure friendship,
he prevailed on her to take a glass of wine with
him. After he had parted from her, he dropped
into a wine-vaults in Poland-street, where he
found Mr. Simpson sitting, whom he politely invit•
ed to partake of a glass of gin and water he had order-
ed. Mr. Simpson, who was labouring under the influ-
ence of the " Green-eyed monster," rejected the offer '
with disdain, and, waxing wroth, called him " a
blood-thirsty lago," swearing he was worse than
Othello," and threatening to pistol him if he did
not instantly consent to abandon now and for ever
all further acquaintance with Mrs. S. " A propo-
sition so immensely absurd," continued Mr. Bough.
ton, stroking up his hair, " that I felt myself bound,
as a man of honour, instantly to reject it, especially
as my intercourse with Mrs. Simpson has been
hitherto conducted on the principles of politeness
and civility only."
Upon receiving this answer, Mr. Simpson
threatened to call on his master, who lived in Ber-
wick-street, and acquaint him with particulars of a
private nature. Mr. B. resented this with all the
indignation of an attorney's clerk, and after a sort of
skirmish had ensued, Mr. B. went out of the house
and recorded his threats of vengeance in the manner
detailed by the policeman.
Mr. Simpson, a very harmless-looking young
man, here stepped forward, and said the quarrel
originated not so much on account of his wife, as
from a demand he made for the restoration of sundry
documents placed in Mr. B.'s hands for a particular

purpose.
Mr. CONANT allowed the defendant to depart, on
paying the usual fine for the privilege of getting drunk.
IRISH Rows.—An Irishwoman, named O'Neal,
was brought into the Justice-room, faint and bleed-
ing from a violent assault she had just sustained
within the precincts of the office.
Another Irishwoman, Mary Barry, was placed
at the bar to answer for the present and a former at-
tack on the female who appeared to be so seriously
injured.
The circum6tances of this case are illustrative of
the ferocity and lax state of morality which prevail
among the lower orders of the Irish in the metro-
polis, similar cases being of almost daily occurrence
at this office.
The first assault, as proved by witnesses against
Mary Barry, arose from an improper intercourse
which was represented to exist betwixt Barry's hus-
band and the woman O'Neal, who was married to
one of her countrymen, who had attached himself
elsewhere. Three Irishwomen, friends of Barry,
proceeded to the room of O'Neal, and breaking
open the door, dragged her, shrieking for help,
down several flights of stairs, for the purpose
of compelling her to fight the woman Barry,
who was stripped in Lascelles-court, ready for
the disgusting encounter. It was only by main force
she was rescued from the clutches of these furious
women ; but it was not until she had been severely
beaten, and her hands bitten through in several
places. Having procured a warrant for this outrage,
she came yesterday to the office, where Barry was
already waiting, whom:, sooner set eyes on her than
she rushed on her, and gave her a tremendous blow
in the face, at the same moment forcing a large pin
quite through her ear. Goddard, the officer, who
was near, took O'Neale away, but Barry contrived
to make another rush, and fastening herself on her,
tore the cap, bonnet, and hair of her head, with the
fury of a tigress. It required several persons to
take her from O'Neale, whose face was streaming
with blood from wounds in various places.
Mr. CONANT inquired if there was any evidence
that O'Neale lived with Barry's husband ; but it
turned out the man was such a desperate ruffian,
that no one dare come forward, in consequence of
his threats.
