BO TV-STREET.

Last night, soon after Mr. HALLS had taken his
seat on the Bench at this office, a young man, about
23 years of age, slim in person, marked with
the small-pox, and about five feet four inches in
height, having the dapper appearance 'of a emart
gentleman's servant out of livery, presented himself
before the Magistrate, and begged his advice and as-
sisiance under circumstances which he said were
most distr,•ssing to his feelings, he having beet!
treated in a very cruel manner, and, in fact, plun-
dered of the property he had saved during several
years' service in the family of a gentlettian of pro-
perty at the west end of the tows.

Mr. HALLS asked him to explain ? Applicant—
Your Worship, I am a mar, ied man.

Mr. HALLS—I have nothing. to do with that.
Applicant-1 have been married three months.

Mr. HALLS—That is nothing to me. Applicant
—Bin, your Worship, I did not consummate my
nuptials, and now she won't let me.

Mr. HALLS—That is your business, not mine.—
(Laughter.) Applicant—But your Worship don't
know how 1 have been treated; I was in ser-
vice, and became acquainted with a young wo-
man, and we agreed to be married privately.
Mr. HALLs—What was her age ? Applicant--
Ynereen year,.

Mr. HALLS—Were you married by bans or by
license ? Appplicant—By bans.
Mr. HALLS—Do you say that you did not con-
summate your nuptials on your marriage - night?
Applicant—l do say that I have not. I should
have let my situation if I had been absent all night;
end when we left the altar, after taking refreshment,
I ent to my service. I deposited in her • hands a
sum of money to take care of, and now she refuses
to consummate the marriage or to return the money;
and has declared that she is going to be married to
another. I wish to know if she can do that, and
also whether your Worship can't make her return
my motley.

Air. HALLS—Have you demanded your wik?
Applicant—She laughs at me, and I cannot get
possession of her person or the property. Will you
inform me if she cat marry again, as she tells me
that, because I have not bedded with her, the mar-
riage is not worth a straw.

Mr. HALLS—If she marries again, she will be
liable to pro-ecution, notwithstanding the non-con-
summation of the nup ials : but I cannot assist you.
The applicant ( who had a piece of cord in his hand)
sighed deeply and left the office. On going out,
he stopped the gaoler at.tlie door and solicted his
advice, and Dodd burst into a fit of laughter arid
pointed to the cord in the hand of the applicant, and
said, "If I had been such afo lish fellow-as you,
I would take that to the first hook I could find
and hang myself." The applicant, who did not
appear to relish the joke, complained- of false-
hearted woman, and made his exit. It is scarcely
necessary to say that the statement of the applicant
created a good deal of fun and laughter amongst'the
crowd in the office.

nn Sunday morning last, while the Rev. Mr. Irving
was preaching in Shepherd and Shepherdess•fields,
Islington.

It appeared from the evidence of the officers that
the R v. Mr. Irving was in the habit of preaching
at a place called Sion Chapel, South-street, Isling-
ton, which was too small for his congregation, and
a short time since he announced his intention of
preaching every Sunday in the open
.fields, and id-
vertisements to that effect were generally circulated.
On Sunday last, at three o'clock, several thousands
of individuals assembled in Shepherd. and Shepherd-
ess-fields, and the Rev. Gentleman nuidehisnppear7
unce, and, mounting a platform of some iniiiienee,
he addressed the multitude in his usual strain,. and
the crowd increased gradually until there could. not
be less than 7,000 or 8,000 persons in the field,
many of whom were notorious pickpockets. The
constables noticed the prisoners lurking about the
crowd and attempting to rob several gentlethen. At
length they proceeded towards the back
i of the plat-
form,.
where they took their stations immediately be-
hind Mr. Irving and a foreign gentleman, standing
by his side, whose pocket they tried to pick of a
silk handkerckief; but being felt by the gentleman,
he turned round and knocked Sterile down with his
umbrella, and the prisoners were both taken into
custody.

Mr. LAING inquired, does he preach in the open
field ?

Seijeant Holt Paid the Rev. Gentleman had done
for see ral Sundays past, and it was his intention
to do so every Sunday at three o'clock. lie did not
preach in the unknown tongue last Sunday.
The prisoners denied the charge. They said that.
they were both out of work, and lived upon their
friends.

Mr. LAING bad no doubt of their being notorious
thieves, and he committed them for three months
each to the House of Corrtction.
