MARLBORO UGH- STREET.
William Longmore, an elder.y person, keeping a shop in
Crown-street, yesterday brought his wife before Mr.
CHAMBERS and Mr. HALLS for having threatened to " claw
his eyes out" one day last week.
The contrast between the pair was very remarkable, the
complainant possessing the pro;,•)rtions and rotundity of an
Alderman, while his helpmate v.-as altogether'as spare and
diminutive in person.
" Please your Worship," began the complainant, " I've
been obleeged to come a purpose all the way from Birming-
ham to settle this very onpleasi..2t occurrence. My wife, you
must know, has led me such a horrid life these sixteen years,
that I've separated myself away from her ; but I've at last
been obligated to reduce thing-, to extremities, and to bring
her here. It was only last week that I went into my own
house to get my own chest of drawers, when my wife flew
into the shop, seized hold on a.e by my neck-handkercher,
and made no less than three outrageous attempts to scratch
my visage with her ten talents. 1 defended myself wigge-
rously, and hollered out with such success, that I made her
abandon the rash act ; but not before she'd chucked the
chest 'of drawers into the street, and had tried to bite one of
my arms off.
Wife—You wanted to turn me out of the house after
having been married more than twenty years, and borne you
twelve children. Your Worship, since he's left me he has
taken another shop at Birmingham, and has got another
woman, whom he lives with as his wife.
Complainant—Shocking, shocking. It's true I've got a
little shop there, but my housekeeper is a matronly sort of
woman, and I have her as company for my daughter. You
know I can't live with you because of your goings-on. Why,
didn't you strip the house dom to the pepper-box ?
Wife—l took only what was my property, when you
brought your nasty woman iao my own place.
Complainant—Oh, your Worship, you don't know her,
she's a common smuggler.
Mr. CHAMBERS—A smuggler what do you mean ?
Complainant—Why she used to dress herself like a smug-
gler, and take out a carpet under her clothes, to sell at the
marine store shop.
Mr. CHAMBERS—That is rather a bulky article to carry
in that manner.
Complainant (sighing)—Ah: I'm daily compelled to bear
such a mass of iniquities about me, that I'm sinking fast.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Why really you appear to me to be in
a thriving condition, if one may judge by your plumpness.
Wife—Last week I brought his son-in-law before you for
tryinc, to take my bed from under me.
Mr.' CHAMBERS—I recollect the case perfectly. I see
now how the matter stands. Your husband, finding that
his son could not get you out cf the house, has come up to
frighten you away ; but I shall not let him turn you in your
old age into the streets if I can help it.
Complainant—l'll allow her Jo much a week.
Mr. CHAMBERS—It is quite clear to me that you are the
offending party, and not your wife.; you came to London on
purpose to commit a breach of the peace, and if you do not
contrive to settle the matter with your wife I shall hold you
to bail. After you have so done, I shall recommend you
to get down to Birmingham again as fast as possible.
The complainant, finding the turn which matters had
taken, agreed to allow his wife 12s. a week, and to give her
one room in the house in Crown-street.
