UNION-HALL.

On Saturday two brothers, named Palmer, one of whom tle.
cribed himself as ship-meter of the Corporation, were brought
up, charged with assaulting one of the. toll collectors on Water.
loo.bridge, and also with evading the toll.
The complainant stated that, late on the preceding night, the:
defendants came to the toll-bar on the Middlesex side of the
bridge, each accompanied by a female. One of the defendants
desired him to admit them through, and he would pay for the
party. Having complied with the request, instead of paying the
toll (4d.) the ladies and gentlemen walked forward, and when
witness followed the person who passed his word for theothers,and
demanded the toll, the latter said that he would only pay for him-
self'. Complainant, however, was proceeding to insist upon pay.
ment of the toll, when both defendants ran away across the bridge,
in the direction of the Waterkiii-road. He pursued them with all
the speed he could, but the ahipsmeter and his brother outstripped
him the length of the bridge, both of them having jumped over
the toll-bar on the other side, instead of passing through the
footway. He still continued the pursuit, and at length came up
with one of the defendants, whom he again solicited to pay the
fliurpence, and while detaining him by the collar, the other
brother came up and knocked him down. While in that state
they both beat him in a shameful manner. nitwits, however,
rescued from further violence by a watchman, who took the
defendants into custody.
The defendants, on being called on to state the reason of their
endeavouring to evade the toll (which offence subjected each of
them to a penalty of 100, besides beating the toll-collector for
demanding , that which he was entitled to, admitted that they
were both inebriated at the time, anti the ship-meter hoped the
present hobble he had got himself would not. militate against
him.
The nagistrate recommended the defendants to withdraw and
make their peace with the toll-callector.
The suggestion was agreed to by both parties; and they with-
drew for that purpose.
A master paviour, named liven, was charged with violently
assaulting a watchman with an iron bar.
The complainant produced the weapon with which he was
struck, and said, that had the blow taken effixt, he would
not be there to tell his story that day. From his statement it
appeared, that Ryan and. his wife were in the. habit of
quarrelling very frequently, to the great annoyance of the
neighboura, who were often kept awake whole nights in con-
sequence of the shouts of " murder" proceeding from their
residence. On the night In question the defendant-and his
wife were kicking up a tremendous row, so much so that many
of the inhabitants thought murder must ensue, and entreated
him (the watchman) to enter the house and prevent the conse-
Rq uences. Ha accordingly got in, and having proceeded to
Ryan's room, found that person and his wife, both half naked,
flinging the crockery ware at each other's heads. Scarcely a
whole article appeared in the room. On his appearance a ces-
sation of hostilities took place, which however was of short du.
ration ; for Ryan, still determined on giving his mistress " a
good leathering," and being prevented from carrying it into
effect by the interference of the watchman, vented his rage on
the latter, and fur this purpose seized a long piece of iron bar,
awhtiicifel
hoswloaericedehduai by
watchman's
a sn
head,oskcecro with which he aimed a deperate blow
who fortunately warded it off. This
was at the
blow, struck the complain-
ant on the shoulder with great force. Ryan was ultimately
lodged in the watch-house.
In his defence, Ryan, who is an Hibernian, pleaded, that
the watchman hi.ti no rightl to interfere between man and wife,
for they always settled their quarrels without the interference
of a mediator. His wife, lie acknowledged, was particularly
fond ofcalling out the word " Murder !" whenever he lifted
his fist against her; " but then (said he), your when
all the neighbours, as well as the watchman, know the poor
woman's little failings, why don't they let us alone to Nettle our
own disputes, without shoving in their oars."
The Magistrate—But you have assaulted the watchman, and
might have killed him, had the blows you intended for him
taken effbct.
Ryan--Bless your soul, Sir, it would only have cracked ins
crown a bit. I .104eW he had a thick skull, and that it would
have taken a hard knock to make any impression on it. He
forgot to tell you, Sir, that he cudgelled me before 1 attempted
to trive him a Leper.
The complainant did not deny that he had used his stick over
Ryan's head and shoulders; but not until he had been struck
with the, bar.
Ryan—Please your Worship, I see the watchman has got the
laarwguofny yhainssimdeotreh. b
e question,ulee andsti and therefore it is no use for me to
my wife must stand the batter, I
suppose.
The Magistrate—Your wife is not included in the charge, but
I shall certainly ludd you to bail for committing ap assault upon
the watchman.
Ryan's wife here made her appearance, and, with loud sobs,
bemoaned her husband's hard tate. She supplicated the Ma-
gistrates to forgive him this time, adding that it was out other
power to procure bail. She was, however, unsuccessful in her
application, Mid Ryan was committed.

A most sitocxm and BRUTAL MURDER was
committed at Preston, on the night of Saturday
last, .on the person or 'John Shorrock, a poor
labouring man residing at itadburn, near
Morley. The deceased, who was *orking
in Preston, left a public house there about
ten o'clock on .Saturday night, in company
with Peter Thorp, a weaver, a New Preston„
with the intention of proceeding home, and it
seems that, when passing down Stanippstreet,
something occurred to occasion a quarrel between
them, when Thorp struck the deceased a dread.
