QUEEN- S lJ UARE.

Joseph Walker, a well-known vendor of the Cos-
mopolite, The Poor Man's Guardian, and other
publications of the same description, who has been
several times committed from this office for selling
the above•mertioned publications, was brought be-
fore the Magistrates, charged with working a private
still.

Mr.WnITE ordered him to pay the penalty of 301.,
and in default of payment he was committed for
three months to the House of Correction.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a young countryman, named John Car
tcr, was charged with cutting and maiming two
horses belonging to Mr. Wm. Clements, a farmer.
The horses were in the prosecutor's field at
Hackney, and on Saturday morning it was disco-
vered that three or four inches of the tongue had
been cut from the mouth of each of the poor ani-
mals, which are in consequence in a most dreadful
state of suffering, and unable to feed. The prisoner,
it appeared, had been several years in the prosecu-
tor's employ, but a fortnight ago, in consequence of
his neglect of the cattle and of other charges com-
mitted to him, he received notice to quit, and it was
now sworn by two witnesses, labourers in the same
employ, that in conversation with them on Friday
se'nnight, he said, that if he did quit, " he would
either poison his master's cows, or injure his wife."
He was afterwards discharged, and when the horses
were found in the state above-mentioned, the prose-
cutor, who had been informed of the prisoner's
threats, had him taken into custody.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

James Dunn, a young man of some note as a pe-
destrian in the " fancy circles at the east end of
the town, was finally examined, charged with steal-
ing 30 gold rings from the shop of Mr. Sowerby, a
pawnbroker, in Brick-lane, and was committed to
Newgate for trial.
UNION-HALL.

Yesterday James Jarratt, the man in custody,
charged on suspicion with the murder of a woman
with whom he cohabited, was brought up for re-
examination.

The body of the deceased woman was found in
the Surrey Canal, on Tuesday last, without bonnet
or shoes on, but the surgeon who examined it was
unable to state whether any injuries had been in-
flicted, in consequence of the decomposition that had
taken place from the length of time the body had re-
mained in the water. When the accused was taken
into custody, he stated that he was with the deceased
on the Saturday preceding her death, and that he
left her the same evening with a man named King,
with whom she went towards Peckham, and he (the
accused) returned down the Kent-road himself, and
called at several public-houses by the way, at some
of Nr hick he sold herbs, which he was in the habit
of selling.
The magistrate (Mr. MURRAY) on hearing Jar-
rates statement with respect to King, in whose com-
pany it was alleged the deceased had been last seen
alive, despatched Jeaffreson the officer to Oxted,
were he said that King lived.
Yesterday morning the officer returned from the
above village, and gathered in the course of his in-
guides, that King, although having resided there
about four years ago, had since gone to sea, and was
therefore a stranger to Oxted, and had been so for
the above period. Jeaffreson said, that in justice to
the accused, he was bound to state that when he
took that individual into custody, he told him that
when he met King on Saturday, the latter person in
the course of conversation said, that he had been at
sea for the period above-mentioned,—that he had
recently come home from India, and that his inten-
tion was to leave England again for a foreign country.
This statement on the part of the prisoner, when he
was taken into custody, was confirmatory of the ac•
count the officer had subsequently heard during
his inquiries relative to King at Oxted. Jeaffreson
added, that be had also made inquiries at various
p übF c h
he had c
ouse s alongad on the night ile the Kent - r adh ,t wherethed
de thecea
deceased was
alleged
suspected to have been drowned, and ascertained
that his account as related to that particular fact was
also correct. _

Mr. MURRAY should remand the prisoner until
Thursday next, in order to give more time to
make inquiries after King, as well as to give the
officer an opportunity of summoning the attendance
of all the witnesses whose evidence was material in
the case.

Richard Stanton, the man whose wife in a fit of
jealousy nearly deprived him of life, was brought up
for final examination, charged with bigamy.
When the prisoner was placed in the slip, and the
witnesses called, the officer said that there was no
one to appear against him.
The MAGISTRATE expressed some surprise at the
circumstance, especially as the woman who repre-
sented herself to be his second wife seemed, on a
former occasion,so anxious to follow up the charge.
Mr. Harmer was instructed that the accused was
perfectly innocent of the alleged charge, at all events
there were no witnesses in attendance to prove any
thing against him.
The Magistrate said, that as the parties who for-
merly attended and made the charge against the
prisoner were not in attendance that day, he was
entitled to his discharge. They were aware that he
was to have been brought up for re-examination,
and by absenting themselves showed that they were
not desirous of following up the charge.
The prisoner, on being discharged, merely said,
" I am innocent of the charge that has been made
against me."
The sister of John Palmer, the celebrated come-
dian, who died suddenly on the stage, attended at
the office for the purpose of being passed to the
settlement of her late husband, who was recently
carried off by the prevailing epidemic.

MISS BAGSTER.—The friends of this Lady
have received notice from Mr. NEWTON that it is his in-
tention to make application to the LORD CHANCELLOR to
:-et aside the verdict of the Jury. It is the practice of the
Court, we believe, to allow a month's time for a motion to
traverse a Commission. Miss BAGSTER still continues in
'he house of Alderman KELLY.
