t meat of one of the complainants, a publican of pa: ~,.. ::,‘ , ,_
end, it appeared that his one week's score to .-o f the-, :-.. 1:
Misses Raiford and their father, for ale and .in 0nei;,,.;;... ',,
amounted to 18s. 3d.; that to a poor Aai.iiii.g-:;:,-; ~,'
green.Toc2r in the same neighbourhood they owo2-.--0,/
upwa;ds of 8/., and was nearly his ruin; that the N---
amount of debts owing to poor people are consider-
able ; and taking into consideration the whole of
their conduct, he did not consider them deserving
objects for public charity, and should, therefore,
withhold from them any portion of the fund in his
hand. To this determination he had come with
much reluctance. Yet he felt it to be but his duty to-
wards the benevolent individuals who had forwarded
him their subscriptions, to withhold them from the
parties, believing them, as he did, to be unworthy ob-
jects. The whole of the subscriptions received by
him amounted to 49/. 103.; and out of this he had
given the Misses Radford 101. He had also paid
6/. 14s. 91 to a few of the unfortunate creditors, and
141. was requested by four of the subscribers to be
transferred to the poor. box ; so that the amount in hand
at present was 181. 1.55. 3d. '.Cis amount should re-
-1 main for a fortnight, and if it was the wish of uny of
the subscribers to have their money returned, or apply
it to any oth,r charity, he should be most happy to
attend to their directions ; but if he (Mr. Norton) re-
ceived no such instructions, he should at the end of
the fortnight place it in the poor-box.
o.le of the Misses Radford complained of the injus-
tice done to the memory of her father, who li.\d been
honoured in the army, by the statements that had gone
forth.

Upon which Mr. NORTON observed that the /van
who could have given so many bills to poor persons,.
and who had shown such a thorough disregard to
their being met or settled, could have been no great
honour to the army.

THAMES.
A HUSBAND KILLED BY lIIS Wm.—Jane Kirt-
land was finally examined, charged with having
caused the death of her husband, Wm. Kirtland alias
Cutter, lately carrying on business as a butcher, in
High-street, Shadwell, by cutting him with a chop-
per on the arm.
The facts have already appeared in this journal.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner to take her
trial for manslaughter.
A very respectable looking woman, named O'Shea,
applied yesterday to Mr. Yardley for relief under the
following circumstances :—She was the mother of five
children, all living, and her husband, a sea captain,
had the misfortune of being wrecked three times in
the space of fourteen months, and he on one occasion
escaped being cut to pieces by savages in Africa.
After much endurance he was enabled to go out again
as second officer of a small vessel ; but out of his ad-
vance he had been able to leave her only 3s. She had
parted with all she possessed in the world, except the
beds on which she and her children lay, and, though
the elder ones bore the privation with firmness, her
heart was almost broken when the infant two years
old cried for food. Her landlady, she said, was most
kind and indulgent, but she Was ashamed to let her
know the privations to which the poor children were
reduced.

Mr. YARDLEY, baying ascertained through one of
the officers that her statement was perfectly correct,
granted her I/. from the poor-box.
