TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday James O'Brien, an athletic Irishman, was
placed at the bar, charged with threatening to assault Mr.
Buxton, the landlord of the George and Phmnix, in Ber-
rnondsey-stree►, Southwark ; and also with destroying his
property and maltreating his customers.
Mr. Buxton stated, that the defendant came into his
house, and the instant he entered he commenced an assault
upo❑ his customers. A general fight took place, and
every effort was made to eject the defendant from the
house without the aid of the police. The defendant,
instead of attending to the remonstrances of those around
him, attacked an old man, whom lie knocked against the
bar spirit-fountain, which he broke, severely injuring the
old man, and damaging the fountain, which would cost
upwards of 1/. Bs. to repair.
The watchman, who took the defendant into custody,
said his conduct was so violent, that bad it not been for
the assistance which he received from other permits, not
an entire vestige of glass would have bee❑ seen in the bar.
Alder man THORPE—What have you to say fur your-
self ? Defendant—Please your Wurtchip, I was going to
wake my cousin that was just dead.
Alderman THORPE—It would have been much better
that you should have been sleeping, instead of injuring the
complainant's property.

Mr. Buxton—l do hope, Mr. Alderman, that you will
protect me, for I am not only personally in danger, but my
property is liable to be destroyed by such as the defendant.
He never enters the house but he does mischief.

The defendant, in default of bail, was conveyed to prison.

of Bethnal-green, way one for an order to remove Faith'
Hope, and Charity Jeffrey, an announcement which ex-
cited some curiosity. The three cardinal virtues, being
called forward by name, appeared before the Magistrate
in the person of a squat, homely-looking damsel—Faith,
Hope, and Charity—in the family way ! The Bethnal-
green people objected to the threatened incumbrance of an
illegitimate incr,ase of the virtues, and sought to remove
the parent stock to a parish in the city, where a settle.
ment bad been acquired by two years' servitude. The
usual questions having been asked, Miss Faith, Hope, and
Charity Jeffrey was removed per order accordingly.

How TO FLOG A RASCAL.—In some parts
of the United States the High Sheriffs perform the same
duties as our parish beadles, and whip the criminals them-
selves. The Sheriff of Hartford county, in Connecticut,
a gentleman of good family and fortune, informed me that
he always attended the trials of prisoners, and formed his
own opinion as to their degrees of guilt. " For otherwise,"
said he, " how am Ito know how hard to hit them ? I
can make one cut tell like twenty if I chooe--so I never
trust to the sentences of those old fools on the bench, but
always give it the rascals just as hard as in my own private
judgment I think they ought to have it."—Note-Book of
a Traveller in the United States.
BRITISH SPORTS.—" To say that the author
of the New Sporting Work called Wild Sports of the
West' understood his subject well is unnecessary : none but
a thorough-bred sportsman could write the book, and very
few sportsmen could write such a book. There is a happy
succession of anecdote and description, ever presenting
fresh and striking objects. The interest never abates, the
subjects are varied and original—the style is light, playful,
and elegant, and perfectly adapted to the fanciful and
sprightly scenes so happily pourtrayed by the writer. The
,cenery, too, is admirably drawn, and the whole descrip-
tion so animated and natural, that we imagine ourselves on
the summit of the mountain, peeping over the precipice at
the wild flock that never needs a fold.' "—Sporting
Magaaine for November.
