SUMMARY JUSTICE ABUSED.-Charles Evans, a young
man, `-- 4- "A Keate-street giwa
in Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Woolrycn ukarged
with stealing a prime piece of .beef, weighing 71b., from
the shop of Mr. Jacob Sulan, butcher, of No. 22, High-
street, Whitechapel.

Mr. Sulan stated that at 10 o'clock on Saturday night,
while his shop was full of people and he was very busy,
a female servant who was behind the counter called out to
him, "There's a piece of meat going." He turned round
and saw the prisoner removing a piece of beef from one of
the hooks. The prisoner succeeded in taking away the
beef, and not knowing the neighbourhood well, ran down
Pickford's yard a few yards from the shop, in which
there was no thoroughfare. He pursued the prisoner,
who, finding there was no outlet, threw away the meat
at the end of the yard, retraced his steps, and was stopped
by the son of witness, who secured him.
Mr. Sulan, who has been a great loser by the depreda-
tions of thieves, then produced the beef, and said he would
have given the prisoner a sound thrashing, and not have
troubled the magistrate with the case, but if ho had done
so it was probable he should have been abused by all the
old women in the stied. He lost a side of pork a little
while ago, caught the fellow with it, and gave the thief a
good hiding, for which he was abused.
Mr. Woolrych—That was summary justice abused. You
had bettor bring the thieves here, Mr. Sulan.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

Mr. Woolrych—This is a very impudent robbery. You
are sentenced to be imprisoned for two months, and kept
to hard labour in the I'louse of Correction.

Colonel and Lady Caroline Towneley have arrived
at their residence in Charles-street from Paris.

Count and Countess De Bergen and the Baron
Mocrairinah have left the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn•street,
for Paris.

A letter from Cracow states that Baron Baklar,
a Prussian subject, and writer in the Cracow Gazette, had
received orders to leave that city, where he had resided for
many years, within 48 hours.

REPRESENTATION OF MARYLEBONE.—The return-
ing officer has fixed Wednesday next for the nomination of
candidates who are desirous of the honour of representing
this borough in Parliament. The nomination will take
place, as usual, on hustings erected at the top of Portland-
place. There are now five candidates in the field, all of
them professing Liberal principles, viz., Mr. Harvey Lewis,
Mr. Wingrove Cooke, Mr. Harper Twelvetrees, Mr. E.
Auchmuty Glover, and Mr. J. C. Marshman. Both Major
Lyon and Col. 'Romilly have declined to be pat in nomi-
nation. In order that there should not be anything like a
split in the Liberal camp, Mr. Harvey Lewis bas expressed
his readiness to abide by the decision of a public meeting of
the electors convened for the purpose; but there will be
scarcely time fer such a proceeding.
DREADFUL FIRE IN DUBLIN—ELEVEN LIVES
Losy—DUBLIN, April 14.—Last Sunday Dublin was ex-
cited by the dreadful omnibus accident that occurred at
Portobello-bridge, and this morning an equally fearful
catastrophe took place—namely, the burning of a house in
" Patrick-street," ana the loss of 11 lives. It is said that
this fearful accident was caused by drink. A man who in •
habited the upper storey went to bed drunk, and uncon-
sciously set the curtains on fire, when the flames soon
spread all over the premises. _ _ _

The Tribunal of Correctional Police on Friday
tried a married woman named Cordier for receiving money
which she must have known to have been stolen, and her
husband and two brothers named Tournier for having as-
saulted a police-officer sent to arrest her. A little boy, 9
years of age, named Vallot, was placed in the witness-box.
" You stole 45f. from your father I" said the President.
"Yes," answered the boy. "On going one morning to
my father's chamber to say good day, I saw his waistcoat
on the floor, and on picking it up 45f. fell out. As he was
asleep, I took the money." " And what did you do with
it ?" " I carried 40f. of it to Madame Cordier, who kept a
shop, and told her to give me fried potatoes, barley sugar,
and gingerbread for it." "And what did you do with
the other sf. ?" " Spent them in riding on wooden
horses in a booth !" " What did the woman give you for
your 40f. ?" " One day she gave me, my brother, and an-
other boy lf. worth of fried potatoes, the next day 8 sous
worth, and the third lf. 4 sous worth of barley sugar. She
then told me all the money was spent, and that Icould have
nothing more." It was then stated to the tribunal that the
boy's father having complained to the police, an officer was
sent to quest' on the woman, but he learned that she and
her husband had hastily sold off the goodwill of their busi-
ness, and were about to take the Lyons railway to go to
Savoy, their country. The man went to the railway station
and presently the woman and her husband, accompanied by
the two Tourniers, their friends, arrived. He advanced to-
wards the woman to arrest her, but she ran away, and when
he wanted to run after the three men held him, and Cordier
etruck him. Two other policemen, however, came, and the
three men were secured , the woman also was captured. In
a basket carried by the latter was a sum of 1,010 francs.
Tho Tribunal condemned Cordier and his wife each to
three months' imprisonment, and the two brothers to a
fortnight each.

THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.—This cele-
brated case will be again brought before the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, Dublin, during the ensuing term, which com-
mences to-day. It will on the present occasion be discussed
before the full court upon exceptions taken by the defend-
ant's (the Hon. Major Yelverton's) counsel to the charge
o f Chief Justice. Monahan in laying down the law to the
jury. The exceptions have reference both to the Irish and
Scotch marriage, and allege that the learned judge should
have told the jury that there should be undoubted evidence
that the defendant was a Protestant to render the Irish mar-
riage void, and then to prove the Scotch marriage he should
have told them that there should either be evidence in
writing by the parties themselves to prove it or other clear
evidence wholly Independent of the parties. Whatever de-
cision the court may arrive at, the case will no doubt go to
the Court of Error and House of Lords.—Saunders' Netts.
M. ALEXANDER. DUMAS.—A publisher named
Delavier on Friday brought #n action before the Civil
Tribunal against AL. Alexander Dumas, to obtain pay-
ment of 22,600 fr. He showed that he had been engaged
with Dumas in the publication of the journal called the
Monte Cristo, and tb at the result was that in 1848 that
gentleman was his ,debtor for 10,295 fr. ; that he subse-
quently made advance s to Dumas for his expedition to Rus-
sia and Circassia, and also for the purchase of tha brig in
which ho contemplate I visiting the Greek Archipelago—
the said advances, when added to the preceding sum,
making the total claim ied. He further said that before leav-
ing for Italy, Dumas :had entered into an arrangement to
pay him in a year, bytt he had not done so. In reply to the
action Dumas affirm( !d that in the Monte Cristo affair, De-
lavie: had not acted fairly by him, and he therefore
prayed that their partnership in it should be declared for-
mally at an end, a and moreover that Delavier should
be made to pay him damages as an indemnity for
having unjustifiabliy brought the present action.
But the Tribunal rejected Dumas's demand, and ordered
him to pay the plaiiatiff 22,600 f. in four instalments with
interest, also to pay hij n 500 f, damages and the costa.
