MARCEI OF PIETY.

TAUNTON POLlCE.—Joshua Berle was summoned
before the Bench for assaulting his rib. Charlotte Merle,
a young woman of sallow complexion and lugubrious aspect,
with a crooked nose turning upward lihe the handle of u
pruning knife, was the complainant, who WU interrogated
by the Bench as to the charge she had to prefer against her
husband.

Complainant—Why last Friday was week, and please
your honour, iu the evening, he struck me with his fist and
with a stick, and threatened he would stab me in the body
with a knife.
MAGISTRATE—Did he commit any violence afterwards ?
Complainant—Oh no, please your Worship, I have not
been with him since.
The defendant was asked what defence lie had to make
against this charge. A simple looking countryman then
stepped forward and replied :—Please your Worship, I say
it is all against the meetings, going about in the night, that
I be so much against, when I and the children be in the bed
and asleep ; we should live very happy else. Now what
do you think, an please your worship ?—She stays out till
eleven or twelve o'clock at night, and sometimes till two in
the morning, and t'other day she and I went to meeting
together, and meeting was over by half-after eight, and she
told I to go home and put the children to bed, and go to bed
myself, 'cause she wanted to stay about the collection and.
sakerrnitent or what 'twas.
MAGISTRATE-How long did she stay after you went
home?

Defendant—l don't know, an please your Honour. I was
asleep when she came home.
Complainant—An' please your Reverence, I'll tell you
what 'tis, he is against the people of God, he is a persecutor,
and I did'nt stay only till half-past nine.
MactsrnArE—Well, you should not have stayed so
late ; he is not against your going to meeting if you go
home in proper time.
Defendant—Oh, no ! Gentlemen, we should live happy
enough if she did not stay about so late at night, as I said ;
your Worship, she told me to go home and put the children
to bed, and I thought to myself 'twas a very curious thing
to I, that she should want to send I home to bed, and she
to stay behind ; why your Worship, I cur woundily afraid,
with these Methodees I should lose my wife altogether one
of those days; and if I have a wife, I should like ror her
to go borne with I.—(Laughter. )
Complainant (lifting up her hands, and casting a look of
wrath at her Lord and .lfaster. )—He do belie me, Gen-
tlemen, an, please your Honours, I would be parted from
him; he have misused me many times before I went to
meeting. _ .

Defendant (leering cunningly at his discontented better
half.)—Lord, my dear, how can you say so, I never dis.
used you in my life, and please your Honours, gentlemen,
I stayed at home several times and dressed the dinner,
while she went to church, and now I be disused for my
goodness (with looks of anger.) Ah, you obatropolis
woman !—(Much laughter.)
illautsTaArE—Will you promise not to ill-treat her in
future, if she will be more regular ?
Defendant—Yes, your Worship.
Complainant—l should wish to be parted from him,
your Worship ; 'twas by law we was joined together, and
by law I would be parted from him, that is my desire.
Maws-TRATE—That is very uncharitable, when he pro-
mises so fairly ; we cannot interfere in these trifling dis-
putes between man and wife; you had better both go home
and try to live comfortably together.
Complainant then left the Court, saying she would have
her spouse sent to prison, that she would—" I see how
'tis," said she, heaving a sigh, " they are all against- the
people of God."—Dorset County Chronicle.

MATCH MAKING. —Miss -------, a lady
bordering on the age of desperation, and a terrible shrew
to boot, was lately married to a notorious. gambler.--A
gentleman expressed his surprise that she should be guilty
of such an indiscretion, as it was certainly a very bad
match.—" Not at all," said his friend, " for you know
cards and brimstone make the best matches!".—Leeds In-
telligeneer.

SALE OF A `MIFF.—One of these disgrace-
ful exhibitions took place at Over Darwen, on Monday
last, in the market-place. It appears that a party of the
aboriginal inhabitants of Be'thorn were regaling them-
selves at the Red Lion Inn, with sundry potations of " Sir
John Barleycorn," when one of them,
known by the cog-
nemen of " Soudger Bob," proposed to sell by auction his
loving spouse, Air,cE o' ButiNocxs. An.cu, on her part,
being, we presume, not over full of love to her liege Lord,
and consequently anxious to change her mate, seemed over-
' joyed at the proposal ; and without further ceremony, the
Town's Crier was called in, and a paper drawn up, and
solemnly signed in presence of the company, declaring that
the partnership of matrimony, heretofore subsisting be-
tween Soudger 808 and Attca o'BuNtsoors, was th„
and there dissolved by mutual consent.—AlLcx, then as-
suming the usual habiliments on such occasions, proceeded
with her late helpmate to the market-place, where, after
much bidding, she, together with her looms, clothes, pat-
tens, and eteetras, was,knocked down at the sum of ss, to
JEIL ()TICKS &GRACE O'NUTTALS, who, forthwith took
peaceable and quiet possession of the lovely DESDEMONUA,
and her accompaniments, declaring it was the sixteenth
brick he had preen red in the Earni! way, ...—Blockbunt Muil.
