out,to theastonishment
why odon'tftl
you pay my wife the 15s. yon robbed me of,
instead of coming here to preach about temperance."
There were between 200 and 300 persons in attend-
ance, and the lecture was interrupted. Regan had
also abused and insulted Mr. Walters in his own
house, and had threatened his life,
and the complainant
actually went in Lodily fear. On Tuesday evening
Regan called on Mr. Walters at his coffee-house, made
a great disturbance, and said it he had a pistol he
would blow his brains out. Regan had been already
bound over to keep the peace for six months in con-
sequence of his insolence and threats towards another
person, and had also been convicted and sentenced to
12 months imprisonment and hard labour, for knock-
ing out a man's eye.
Mr. Selfe—He is a dangerors man. What is the
reason he has threatened Mr. Walters!

Mr. Young Regan's wife broke the temperance
pledge, and forfeited 154. which she bad paid to the
society, of which Mr. Walters is chairman.
Mr. Selfe—You may have a warrant.
A SINK OF INIQUITY IN BLUEQATE•FIELDS, SHAD-
WELL —Two dirty savage-lca'zing Chinamen, named
Lim Apoo alias Hingpoo, a:--130, and Aeyt, 30, were
charged, before Mr. Selfe, whh assaulting and wounding
Emma Sergeant, a woman of the town, who keeps a
brothel for the convenience and accommodation of Chi-
nese and Lascar mendicants, in that horrible and pesti-
ferous place called Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, where a.
colony of about 100 Chinese and Lascar mendicants are.
located, and where outrages and brawls are of nightly
occurrence.
It appeared that the two Chinamen quarrelled with
the complainant, and Apoo, who is related to another of
that name now in prison, beat her with his fists, and
Aeyt struck her several times over the legs with a poker
and disabled her.
Apoo said he had lived with the woman, at intervals,
for the space of 10 years, and that he had lately arrived
in England again after a long voyage. He gave 35/. to
his wife (the complainant), and she expended it all in a
short time. He beat the woman because she got drunk.
Evidence was given of the brutal nature of the assault.
Roche the gaoler of the Court said, that most disgrace-
ful scenes were of nightly occurrence in the pestiferous
Chinese colony, in Bluegate-fields. Afew nights ago he
saw the woman Sargeant in her chemise, running after
some Chinese beggars, and Chinese beggars running
alter her. He was afraid murder would' be committed
some night or other.
Mr. Selfe said, the mistaken benevolence of people
who gave money to filthy and idle Chinese and Lascar
mendicants, had caused the establishment of a pestilen-
tial colony in Shadwell, which was a complete sink of
iniquity, full of infamous houses resorted to by Chinese
mendicants. He fined Apoo 3/. or one months' impri-
sonment, and sentenced Aeyt to one Months' imprison-
ment and herd labour.
