MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a Mr. John Crawford was brought be-
fore the sitting Magistrate, charged by Hugh Bur-
gess, the driver of a cabriolet, for having wantonly
and maliciously run up a score of 6s. for a ride in
the complainant's cab, he (defendant) knowing at
the time that he had only Is. 6d. in his pocket.
The defendant, when placed at the bar, bore evi-
dent marks of nocturnal riot. One of the arms of
his black coat was hanging in shreds about his
shoulders, and the rest of that garment so much in-
jured, that he stood before the Magistrates as a' fit
and proper representative of the character of Octa-
vian in the Mountaineers.

The defendant had been out dining with a few
friends on the previous afternoon, and on his road
home he wound his way into Regent-street, where
he happened to meet with a lady who very politely
invited him to pass an hour at her house in Clip-
stone-street, Fitzroy-square. Being " warm with
the Tuscan grape," he accepted the invitation, and
after a short stay the lady, having eased him of all
his cash, save and except ls. 6d., which she gene-
rously left him for pocket money, called the com-
plainant's cab, bade him a good night, and left him
to the rude mercy of the winds and waves. "To
Blandford-place ! " exclaimed the defendant, with a
hiccup, as soon as he had fit mly seated himself in the
cab. Complainant made all possible haste thither;
but when they had got, as he supposed, to-their
journey's end without stopping, he ordered the cab
to the left about for the City-road. There they
had no better success, for, after getting half way
down the City-road, he suddenly bethought him-
self it must be to Battle bridge where he wanted
to go. At Battle-bridge they were also at fault,
and the defendant ordered his fellow traveller to
drive him once more back to Blandford-place,
and see if fortune, which had played such slip.
pery tricks with his memory, would prove more
prepitious. But, alas ! he was doomed to
be the sport of fortune, and Blandford-place did
not bring any useful recollections along with it.
What was to be done ? He would try No. 23,
Regent's Park ; but as his friend and fellow traveller
considered he had already extended his ride suffici-
ently long without touching the blunt, lie cautiously
sounded his companion on that score, andfinding that
the ride then amounted to 65., and there was only
Is. 6d. in the Exchequer to meet it, he thought it
would be the most advisable step to take him at once
to the station-house.

When placed in the cell the defendant's fortitude
did not forsake him, for. instead of indulging in
gloomy and melancholy reflections, he fancied him-
self i►► a tavern and called lustily for the waiter to
bring him more brandy and water, till tired and ex-
hausted, he undressed to go to bed; but, after
groping about in his apartment for some time, he at
length discovered that it was not a bed-room, and
he attempted to dress himself, and actually got his
foot half way iiito the sleeve of his coat, which, by
dint of straining, gave way in 20 parts ;—enraged at
the obstinacy of his trousers (as he thought) he tore
the garment into shreds.
The Magistrate fined him ss. for being drunk,
and ordered him to pay the cab-man his fare and for
his loss of time, all which he accomplished by send-
ing a diamond ring to his uncle's, and after taking
leave of the cab-man, he ordered a hackney-coach
and drove off.

Fulhamsummoned
and Fred. B
Ke Kew-bridge
con-
ductor
e
om-
nibuses, for having committed an assault on him.
The complainant agreed with the defendant to
take him to Kew-bridge for one shilling ; but when
near Turnham-green, the defendant stopped, and
told him he must getout, as he was at Kew-bridge
Wall, though, in fact, he was then nearly a mile and
a half from the place where the defendant had agreed
to convey him. Upon his refusal to pay the shil-
ling, unless taken to Kew-bridge, the defendant
caught hold of him round the waist, and swore he
would give him into the custody of a policeman if he
did not pay him. The complainant farther stated
that it was a very commonpractice for omnibus-
drivers to get people into their vehicles, and when
they had taken them a part of the distance, if there
were but few passengers, to make them get out and
pay the same sum for which they agreed to go the
whole of the distance.
Mr. DYER also said it was a common trick for the

drivers to get people into their omnibuses, and to
set them down short of the distance; but such con-
duct should not be practised with impunity. He
should order the defendant to pay ten shillings and
costs.

Charles IVetherall, an odd-looking► personage,
was charged with having broken the hear of James
Cane, with a certain unlawful weapon called a slop-
pail.
The circumstances which occasioned the assault
are as follows :

Mr. Cane, having one evening last week imbibed
an extra pot of " half-and-half,' found himself sud-
denly quite " fightable," and began to boast of the
marvellous things he could do in a boxing bout.
Amongst other matters he swore the next time that
" Charley," with whom he had previously had some
little difference, insulted him, he would clap him
into " schedule A," or do something equally dis-
agreeable. Some "- good-natured! friend,"
conveyed this "bit of bounce" to Mr. W., who,
"girding up his loins," went in search of Mr. Cine,
and found him in his own yard just preparing to
empty a curious collection of slops into the dust-
hole. He told him, without circumlocution, that
he came to " pitch into him," and when he threw
hoick the challenge into his teeth, Mr. C. returned
the compliment with the contents of the pail. The
defendant instantly closed with him, and wresting
the pail out of his hand, gave him such a knock on
his head, that, had not the part been well qualified
to sustain such attacks, his skull must have been
crushed.

Mr. DYER directed that Mr. Charles Wetherall
should find bail, or in default, be locked up with the
rest of the " conservatives."
LAMBETH—STREET.
Miss Rebecca Sanders was brought before Messrs.
WALKER and MATTHIAS, to answer the complaint
of Mrs. Ann Yates, who stated that the defendant
resided in the same court with her, and, what was
shocking to tell, she was continually decoying her
son, a young man only 19 years of age, into her
house, and a courting on him with all her might.
Nlrs. Yates was afraid that the defendant would
lead her son astray ; she, therefore, desired that
she would court him no longer, on which Miss
Sanders clapped her hands in her face, and declared
she would have him in spite of her. In addition
to this she also threw a brickbat at her, which
struck her on the leg.
The complainant, a tall meagre woman, during
this recital, threw herself into a variety of strange
attitudes, and made such shocking grimaces, that
a Grimaldi would be puzzled to imitate, or a Cruik-
shank to depicture them. They had the effect of
magic on the bystanders, who, whenever they
looked in her face, underwent an irresistible contor-
tion of countenance, and the gravity of all was
shaken, save and except that of the Bench.
Mr. WALKER having observed Mrs. Yates's
movements with some attention, requested her not
to make such ugly faces, on which she screwed her
mouth up as if she had just swallowed a dose of
rhubarb, and remained in a fixed position--while
Miss Rebecca Sanders indignantly denied the
whole of the complainant's statement, and declared
she " scorned the action of courting a bov, indeed !"
Mrs. Yates was about to bring forward a witness
to confirm her complaint—when
Miss Sanders exclaimed, with great vehemence,
" There was nobody nigh, nor by." She was re-
quested by the officer to be quiet, but she bauled
out, ten tunes louder, " It is enough to make me
hang myself to hear such things."
Mr. MATTmAs remarked that her violence in this
Court was a proof that she could not be very quiet
in her own court.

The lever now seized Mrs. Yates, who " grinned
horribly a ghastly smile," and, shaking her head at
Miss Sanders, said " You wretch, where is the man
you transported ?"

- " I never transported any man," replied Miss
S ,nders ; and, though a young spinster, her appear-
ance seemed to vouch for the truth of that
declaration.

The Magistrates observed the conduct of each
party was so outrageous that it was difficult to de-
cide in favour of either; but Miss Rebecca kindly
helped their Worships out of the dilemma by inform-
ing hem that she intended to leave her present resi-
dence in a fortnight; and it was then ordered that
the warraut should be suspended in terrorem during
that period.

DROWNING LOVE.—A silly fellow in a fit
of vexation drowned himself at Farleigh•bridge. His
wife had been out to a party much against his inclination,
and was intent upon going to a second. The husband
finding no entreaties could prevail on her to relinquish
such gambols, told her he should not live to see the arrival
of another occasion for her wonted pleasure. However,
the opportunity did occur for a repetition of her pleasure;
and in the mean time, the husband, after giving his
children various articles as remembrances, went towards
the river. He was there seen by a person who supposo
he was fishing; and on being asked by him, if he had
had a bite, said " no he should be a bite himself presently."
The foolish fellow was afterwards found in the water; his
legs were tied together, acd attached to a rope round his
n,,clc.—Maidstone Gazette

IPSWICH LAMB FAIR. --This fair com-
m .need on Wednesday last ; the company was very nu-
merous; the show of lambs was great, about 120,000;
ttley came up in fine condition, which induced the grow-
ers to ask last year's prices ; little business was therefore
do ie t n the first day. On Thursday the buyers pur-
chased more freely, but it was in consequence of the
growers giving way in price, and at 4 o'clock there were very
f w pens left unsold. The beast fair was well supplied,
but little or no business done, as we could bear of no sales
chat had been wade; the scarcity of feed being great,
.h:re was no inducement for the grazier to meet the deal-
er. On Friday, the la.t day of the fair, the business was
entirely confined to the jobbers. Amongst the neighbour-
ing gentry we observed the High Sheriff of the county;
S r R. HARLAND, Bart; Sir W. F. F. MIDDLETON,
Bart. ; Sir T. S. Goocu, Bart. ; C. TYRELL, EN.,
M. P. for the county; J. FITZ-GERALD, Esq., M. P. ;

e
ROWLEY, Esq. ; H. POWELL, Esq. ; Archdeacon BER,
NERS ; the Reverend J. ROWLEY; and A. H. STEWARD,
Esq. In addition to the ostensible and leading business of
the fair, our attention was particularly attracted by the
extensive and varied collection of agricultural machines
and implements displayed by the different manufacturers
in that town and neighbourhood ; the most conspicuous
among which were those of the Messrs. Raissosaz, of Ips-
es cyanthiseh ,
