MARYLEZIOIVE.

Maria _Farrell, cook to a lady named Wilde, residing in
Upper Bryanston-street, Portman-square, was charged be-
fore Mr. Long with being drunk and creating a disturbance
at the house of her mistress, and also on suspicion of steal-
ing three bottles of wine.
Mrs. Ann Wilde stated that the prisoner was her servant.
On the previous day the daughter of a lady named Cun-
ningham, residing in the same house, was married, and the
prisoner got very drunk in honour of the occasion. She be-
came very abusive, and threatened to stab all in the house,
and to knock her (witness) down. All attempts to quiet her
being fruitless, the complainant was compelled to call in a
policeman and give her into custody.
William Ching, D 23, said he was called by the last wit-
ness about half-past eight o'clock last evening. The cook
came to the door, and told him if he waited a minute she
would give him a drop of wine. She shortly after came out,
and, taking the bottle of •wine ont of her pocket, gave it to
him. He returned the bottle of wine, and the prisoner was
given into custody. Hearing something jingle in her pocket,
he found another bottle, and whilst conveying, her to the sta-
tion a third bottle of wine fell from some part of her person
and was broken. She said the wine was her own, and that it
had been given to her by the footman.
Mrs. Wilde, in answer to Mr. Long, said six bottles of very
old sherry were presented to Mrs. Cunningham by the
brother of the bridegroom, but only three were to be found.
Mr. LONG said that the woman's conduct was very bad
indeed, but, unfortunately, there was not sufficient for him to
send the case for trial ; therefore, she must be discharged.

SOUTHWARK.
ALLEGED CONFINEMENT OF A SANE MAN AS A LUNATIC.
—Just at the close of the business in the afternoon, a young
man, of gentlemanlike appearance, entered the Court, and,
addressing Mr. Traill, requested his advice under the follow-
ing circumstances :
The applicant said that in 1843, while a graduate in Tri-
nity College, Cambridge, intending to take clerical orders,
he had a dispute with a clergyman, which was ultimately
referred to the Bishop of Norwich for his decision. He bad
an interview with his Lordship on the subject. Shortly af-
terwards, however, to his (applicant's) surprise, a consulta-
tion of medical men was held, and a certificate obtained, cer-
tifying that he was of unsound mind. He was accordingly
brought away from college by two keepers, and placed in a
private lunatic asylum, although he assured the Magistrate
that he was as sane and as capable of conducting his affairs
at the time as he was at that moment. After remainirg in
the asylum—during which period he had nothing to com-
plain of but the circumstance of his being deprived of his
liberty, and taken away from the pursuit of his studies at
college—he was transferred to Bethlehem Hospital, where
he was also confined for some months, and from which insti-

tution he had been recently discharged. Since the latter
occurrence he had been residing with a gentleman named
Buckley, at Peckham, who maintained him up to the present
period, although he received no emolument, his (applicant's)
affairs being in such a deranged state, owing to the conduct
pursued towards him, that he was totally incapacitated from
supporting himself by his own exertions. The object, there-
fore, of his application was, to ascertain if he could have re-
dress against the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital for de-
taining him there, which he considered was a gross infringe-
ment of the liberty of the subject, particularly as he was not
of unsound mind, and then discharging him from the place,
although he made no remonstrance at the time for that
purr ose.
Mr. 'hum. told the applicant that it was a question with
which he could have nothing to do. From the applicant's
own admission, it appeared that the proceeding of which he
complained had not been adopted until the certificate of two
medical officers had been obtained as to the condition of his
mind; that he could not at all perceive that a charge of such
a nature as that alluded to by applicant could be alleged
against the directors of the admirable institution where he
had been confined, and that previously to his admission the
necessary forms had been complied with, and as soon as he
was considered convalescent he was permitted to leave the
place. The latter circumstance must convince the applicant
that the authorities had no inclination to keep him there
longer than they considered necessary.
'I he applicant said that he was most unwilling to be living
on the bounty of the gentleman who had acted so con-
siderate a part on his being discharged from Bethlehem—that
the fact of his being taken away from college under the cir-
cumstances already described had the effect of blighting his
prospects, and that it was with the view of convincing the
world how unjustly he had been treated that made him
anxious to adopt proceedings against those who had thrown
such serious obstacles in the way of his advancement in life.
Mr. TRAILL having repeated that he could not see any
just grounds the applicant had for complaining against the
authorities of Bethlehem Hospital, the applicant retired from
the Court.

25, James-street, Buckingham-gate, and Edwin and James
Locke, her sons, were placed at the bar for final examination,
charged with defrauding Mr. Gawtborp, of 79, Tothill-street,
ofteverai pairs of boots.

The particulars of the case have been already fully detailed.
Mr. 801/ said, that although the case had been adjourned,
quite sufficient had been made out to call upon him to send
the accused before another tribunal for that purpose.
The witnesses were then bound over to indict the prisoners
at the Central Criminal Court for conspiracy.
After some discussion about bail, the prisoners were ulti-
mately required to find two sureties in 401. each, and give
notice to Mr. Woolfe.
The accused were sent to prison.

Comber, immediately opposite the police barrack, thero is a
large field scarcely worth digging; and in the vicin.ty of
Ballynahinch, Killinchy, andKillyleagh, the crop is much
injured. At Antrim, a few days ago, Lord Msesereene sold
some potatoes, in the ground, at the high price of 3f/, per
acre. They looked very well, but so extensive have been
the ravages of the rot, that the purchasers are greatly (ts-
appointed, and would gladly withdraw from their agreement.
LIMERICK, OCT. 11.—We are much concerned to state that
the prevalent distemper in the potato crop has been this
week found to extend its fearful ravages to the county
Limerick, and the fields on several farms show unequivocal
symptoms of the rot or canker in the potato. At Cahirelly
the disease was first observed, and subsequently at Feda-
more, where twelve acres were opened, and the spade la-
bourers left off work on finding the plant was not worth
raising; the evil was also apparent at Coolyhe- an and other
parts of the country, where no suspicion of the kind was
entertained. At Kilworth, Michelstown, and a wide range
of land in the counties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary,
serious apprehensions are felt for the same result. The po-
rates most exposed to this deadly plague-spot are the
" white eye," for they are most prone to decay, and when
the disease has fixed on these it may be deemed incurable;
not so the cup and crow potatoes, and if on high ground the
farmer has a better chance for his crops. There is little doubt
but the distemper now attacking the potatos in both coun-
tries is the effect of prolonged low atmosphere and excessive
moisture acting upon the plant since the eal ly part of August
last, when the rain set in very heavily. The recent moist
atmosphere and frequent rains aggravate the tendency to
infection. This terrible epidemic not only threatens loss of
food in the present season, but loss of food for the next year.
