A BAD TENANT EJEOTED.—In the engagement which
took place between the French.and the Arabs at the Col
de la Monzaia, in Algeria, 17 years ago, Commandant
Übrich, of the Bth battalion of Foot Masseurs' was
struck by a bill in the eye, which penetrated the head,
and remained there in spite of all efforts to extract it.
Since then M.'Uhrich, who has risen to the grade of
colonel, has suffered greatly from the presence of the ball,
particul irly when obliged to ride on horseback. A few
months back, the inconvenience having greatly increased
he was sent bylais medical advisers to Allevard, a water-
ing place in the Isere. About ten days ago he bad a
I.l,ght attack of apoplexy, which shook him greatly, ar.d
a few nights afterwards he was awakened from his sleep
by a sense of suffocation. Jumping up be found that
the ball bad by degrees worked its way down, and had
at last fallen from the upper part of the mouth into the
throat. By violent efforts he succeeded in dislodging it,
and he is now doing well. The ball, though diminished
by corrosion, was found to weigh 25 grammes (about
four-fifths of an ounce).—Galignani.

COMMITTAL OF A SHAM BARRlSTER.—Yesterday, at
the Wakefield Court-house, a respectable looking man,
tamed John Lundy, was charged with baying, on the
26th ult.' unlawfully pretended that he was a barrister-
at-law. From the evidence of Mrs. Deys, wife of Wm.
Der, 'shopkeeper, of Wakefield, it appeared that the
prisoner called at her house on Tuesday afternoon last,
and engaged rooms, saying that be was a barrister-at-
law, and that he had come to Wakefield sessions to
defend prisoners. He partook of tea and supper,
and the next morning after breakfast said he
was going to the court-house. He returned again
about five o'Ll )ck to tea and supper. On Thursday
morning he took some meat and bread with him, saying.,
it was for a woman he was going to 'Lefet.lady

him seated at the barrister's table, she found him stand
ing the body of the court. She made her way to
-buCin and said, " I thought you would have been
among the white wigs." He said, " I have been ; but
my ewe is over." He also said he was waiting to hear
a case that was then going on. That evening he wished
to borrow some more money ; but her suspicions being
aroused she refused to lend any.—William Deys corro-
borated his wife's statement, and said, in addition, that
the prisoner had engaged him as his clerk, at 255, a
week. He had also made proposals of marriage to his
daughter. He said that his carpet bag containing hiF
wig and his gown was at dr. Wainwrigbt's, the solicitor.
—Mr. Wainwright said the prisoner came to him to
defend a female on a charge of felony ; but he neither
left carpet bag nor wig or gown.—lnspector Burton
apprehended the prisoner on the charge, and he was then
fully committed for trial, bail being refused.—Manches-
