Mr. WHITE—Why did you not say she had ve-
getables for sale? You said she only had a
basket. Then it is the woman you complain of?
What did the others do ? Policeman:—When I
took the woman into custody her husband attempted
a rescue, and kept kicking and pushing me until as-
sistance came to hand, when he and the others
were taken into custody.
Policeman 48, saw Hughes strike the other con-
stable, and on his being secured he gave Boningtor►
a knife, which he believed was for a serious purpose.
Bonington was also taken into custody, and the knife
taken from him.
Mr. WHITE asked the woman what she had to
say to the charge ? The woman replied, that when
the policeman came up to her he used great vio-
lence, and struck her with his staff on the knuckles
and arms. Her husband, on seeing this, came up to
take her part, and prevent the policeman striking
her. The knife was the one she used in cutting
the vegetables, and dropped from the basket in the
scuffle.
The husband of the woman only took bold of the
policeman's staff to prevent bis striking his wife.
The knife he picked up and gave to Bonington
merely to-take care of, as he (Hughes) was going
to the station-house.
Mr. WHITE could not imagine that the prisoner
meditated anything by giving the other the knife.
After some consultation between Mr. White and
Mr. Gregorie, the former gentleman observed, that
he was extremely willing that poor persons should
get their living in the best way they possibly could ;
but it must not be to the annoyance of other per-
sons. The Local Act, which he held in his band,
fleas the most comprehensive law upon the subject
of nuisances he had ever read. It not merely enu-
merated a variety of nuisances likely to take place,
but went so far as to state, that it was lawful for
ony officer, without a warrant, to take into custody
any person found obstructing the footway, or com-
mitting any other annoyance whatever, and to bring
them before a Magistrate, who had it in his power
to convict the party in a penalty not exceeding 51.
In this case he should think the ends of justice
satisfied by convicting the females in the penalty of
five shillings. For the assault committed by the
man Hughes he must pay a fine of ten shillings;
but as there was no charge against the other pd-
sur►er he should be discharged.
Hughes—Please your Worship, I have not five
farthings; I and my wife have not had a bit of
victuals since yesterday, and we had no money to go
to market this morning.
Mr. WHITE—I am very sorry for it.—The pri-
soners were then locked up.
MAR YLEB ONE.
THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN WINCHESTER-
ROW.—Yesterday, William Jones, formerly a mer-
chant in the city, and Eliza Hicks and Lois Boon,
his reputed servants, were re-examined on the
charge of stealing a quantity of plate, china, bed
furniture, a valuable library of books, &c., from No. 1,
Winchester-row, the property of Mrs. de Windt.
Mr. Blackie, the house agent, said that Jones re-
presented to him that be was agent to a Welch
Mining Company, and in the course of the conversa-
tion, said he would propose him (Mr. Blackie) as
Secretary. Some time after, the prisoner gave him
his pretended appointment, and three shares to boot.
Mrs. de Windt said that Jones told her the
same story, and that she might have had as many
shares as she pleased.
A book, headed " Subscriptions to the North
Cambrian Company for propagating Education in
Wales," which had been taken from Jones, was
produced. The name of Lord Kenyon, and several
Noblemen, appeared in it as subscribers.
The prisoner solemnly declared that he had ap-
propriated the money to the purpose for which it
was subscribed.
It was stated that the capital of this new Com-
pany was held out as likely to be 40,0001.
Mr. Hosicuis committed the three prisoners for trial.
LAMBETH-STREET.
CONSPIRACY TO BURN A POOR-HOUSE.—Yester-
day Wright, the beadle of West Ham, Essex,
brought two young men, named Joseph Harwood
arid Thomas Cocklin, before Mr. HARDWICK, the
presiding Magistrate, charged with feloniously con-
spiring to burn the West Ham poor-house.
The prisoners, who did not attempt to deny the
charges, were held to bail, and in default thereof
were committed to prison until the Sessions.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday, a man named Wayling, complained
that Frank Redmond, the pugilist, refused to give
up 101. belonging to him.
Frank said that Wayling, who imagined himself a
" bruiser," bullied him to consent to fight him for
10/. a-side. The money on both sides was deposited in
the hands of an umpire, and as Wayling omitted
to come at the time appointed, at 'Wormwood
Scrubs, the place assigned for the battle, his money
was declared forfeited.
The MAGISTRATES said, the affair altogether was
illegal, but they had nothing to do with the resti-
tution of the money. They only advised the par-
ties, at their peril, not to commit a breach of the
peace.

Wayling, who said he had declared off long be-
fore the time for the battle, was much disappointed
at this decision.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—Several li-
censed victuallers of Bermondsey, were summoned
upon informations for serving during the hours of
divine service, and permitting their boys to call out
" beer," to the hindrance of public worship.
Mr. CHAMBERS said that the ministers of both
Newington and Bermondsey had complained to him
of the noise created by publicans' boys, who fre-
quently called out " beet" during the ceremony of
administering the sacrament.
Mr. Beanies, of the Rose, in Russell-street, who
said he had always desired his boys not to call out
" beer," was fined 40s. for serving during divine set..
vice. The same penalty was inflicted on the other
defendants.

Mr. CHAMBERS, in reply to a publican, who asked
to know the precise hours when they were to keep
closed, as several churches finished service at dif-
ferent hours, said, that the usual hours at most
places of worship were from 10 till 1 o'clock. They
must keep closed till that hour; and on days when
the sacrament is administered, they must mot open
until the conclusion of that ceremony.

A PIG WITH A WOODEN LEG.---However
singular it may appear to read of a pig with a wooden leg,
such an animal actually exists. A few weeks ago, one of
these animals, about six months old, the property of Mr.
JOHN NicuotsoN, of Watton Grange, near Driffield, had
the misfortune to break one of its hinder legs in such a
manner as to preclude any chance of its being set effeo,
tually; Mr. NICHOLSON, therefore, resolved to have
piggy's limb amputated, which was immediately done. As
soon as the part was sufficiently
healed, an ingenious carte
penter, of Hutton Cranswick, was employed to mike a
i wooden leg for it, which he has fitted n such a manner,
that the animal is now able to walk about with little in-
convenience.—Berwick Advertiser.

MODERN AND SCRIPTURE GEOGRAPHY.
Into that beautiful and mast useful little volume The
Geographical Annual for 1833,' the latest discoveries and
changes in geographical science have been introduced, so
that the quantity and the character of the intelligence it
contains can hardly be surpassed. The Biblical Annual
for 1833' is a similar publication for its illustrations of
Bible history, both as connected with the ancient and the
modern world ; a copious index adds to its utility, and it is
quite equal to its foregoing companion, and deserves a like
measure of public favour—the two volumes form a family
treasure."--Literary Gazette.
A lad, attending some hogs at Stedham, had
climbed on an oak tree, for the purpose of beating down
acorns, when his round frock becoming entangled with a
limb of the tree, tightened round his neck and caused
