U. Sit. 9d.
Mr. Sutton then addressed Mr. Ceenome, and said he would
explain every thing satisfactorily. The fact was he had con-
tracted with Thomas Bean to do the bricklayer s work in building
a coach-house, on the 311 of A uguatlaitv and was to pay him Sfie.
per rod, including gunge work ; at the end of the first week, he
advanced bun 11. 24., the second week he demanded 21. 155.,
which was refused on the ground that the work lie had done did
not amount to so much ; he was, however, paid 11. 15s. ; but on
the Monday following, he refused to work any more, without a
further advance made him, which, of course, was refused. The
work being measured 'by Mr. Cutbush, an eminent surveyor,
it amounted to 11. 18s. 71 altogether, and he . now had the
impudence to summon him fur a balance for whit be called
day-work.
Mr. Sutton farther stated, that Beans had shamefully neglected
the work, and would only work when he pleased, as he said he
never neglected an odd job in the neighbourhood when he was
working by contract ; his servant was present when the agreement
was made, and he had brought him to the office.
Mr. GRXOOI4Z, on hearing this statement, immediately re-
Commended Mr. Sutton to give the complainant in charge for
leaving work contracted for unfinished. [Here the tables were
completely turned, and Beans being given in charge by Mr. Sut-
ton, he recapitulated hie statement, which was fully corroborated
by the evidence of David Curtis, who was present when the con-
tract was made.]
' Mr. GRECORIE.ThiIi. is the most impudent proceeding I
ever snot with. Do you wish use to punish hint (to Mr. Sutton),
or do you think you -can trust him to finish the work ?
Mr. Sutton.--I wish hint to be punished as an example to
other%
He was then sent to the House of Correction for 14 days.
UNION HALL.—The son of a respectable tradesman in the
Borough named Brand, Was yesterday brought before M. SwABEY,
F.N. at the instance of his wife, on a peace-warrant obtaiued by
her a few days preceding, charged with threatening to du her souse
bodily mischief.
The Magistrate having learnt that-the parties were respectable,
and that the dispute between the husband and wife had arisen
out of Nome family difference, endeavoured to reconcile them in
the private room, and strongly recommended that the charge
should not be publicly brought forward. He accordingly gave
the complainant Hine to cintail4.• whether it would not be more
to her . advantage to decline prettying the charge against her hus-
band. In'the course of the: morning, the Magistrate's advice not
being acceded to, the complaint was brought in a formal man-
tier, in the piddle-office, anti a Solicitor on each side was in at-
tendanee.
, • 'the miledmee arly he tints stated. Mrs. Caroline Brand,
'whose youthful and sprightly appeal-unite created a . feeling trr.her
favour. *aid, that on Monday •evening sf Ant was 'vetoing along
the' Borough her huthaild,. With. whom. She , wee not.. living, per-
,,,ived her, sod he lomikatly inmiall oft a coach on which lie
was riding, sei7e,l her violently by the arm, and dragged her
'into his father:s lionie, which was close to where the rencoutre
e

occurred.
Mr. Swant v—Did he offer you. any violence?
Mrs. Brand—No, Sir, not then.
Mr. Swaay.v—When then?
Mrs. Brand—Sotne time back he 'struck me.
Mr. SWA attv--110* 164' iiine.O. ? . ,''',,• '
Mta. Brawl—Abois ft month ago, Sir.
The Magistrate then called for the information-book where the
charge was entered, pteVious to the peace-warrant being granted.
After perusing the entry, his Worship said, that the case presented
to him to-day was not like the statement on which . the warrant
wits issued ; but,. independi;ntlY of that, he did not think that be
was called upon, to retpiare,bail.from the husband.
Mr.. Brand now proceeded to complain of his wife having ate-
rented herself, leaving hiin.without attendance in the house.
Mr.''Fitch,- (Misr Brand's legal adviser) now handed a written
paper to -the`Magistride, saying it contained a lilt of phrases and
epithets which the husband was in the habit of addressing to
his wits. . .Thette, said Mr. Fitch, are not fit to be named publicly

The Magistrate, after perusing the paper, observed that the ex-
Imes:Jiang seemed not so much directed to Mrs. Brand as to other
members of her family.
Mr. Fitch submitted that he had presented a case sufficiently
strong to call upon the Magistrate for his interference.
Mr. SWADVX thought otherwise, and said that he was sorry
that his suggestion had not been acted upon.
Mr. Brand, who seems not to be more than twenty years of
age, was then discharged.
The Solicitor who attended on his behalf now said—Mr. Fitch,
I shall be happy to meet you, and see if we cannot settle this
affair amicably.
The defendant's father also expressed great anxiety that his son
and daughter should be once more friends.
The parties then retired.

MURDER AT BRIGHTON.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The woman still remains very ill. We understand she
says, that when her husband commenced the attack, she
besought him not to strike the child, on which he instant-
ly plunged the knife into its body. There was a woman
ur the house at the time; she says Burt's_ ~wife rushed
passed her, greatly terrified, and ran up stairs; Burt then
came to the door, and she tried to keep him out, but' he
forced the door open, seized the woman by the neck, and
almost .strangled her. He then ran up stairs, burst the
door open, and began the horrible work.
Burt is rather a small man, his head is remarkably long,
and he has altogether a most
ferocious appearance. We
know it` is commott to PAU men so under such circum-
stances; but *whoever has seen Burt will acknowledge that
this is correct as regards him. He is dressed in drill trow-
sers, a dirty striped waistcoat, and an old brown coat.
He appears quite indifferent as tq his fate, and there is an
air of callousness in his whole appearance ; he seems, in
short, devoid of, feeling, and talks of the affair with an.
concern; he has acknowledged more than we feel war•
ranted in stating.
The inquest was held at the George the Fourth, near
the house where the murder was committed, before a very
respectable Jury. The mother of the woman was examined,
but she was so agitated that she fainted, and the inquiey
wits deluyed for some time.
The handle of the knife was found in the prisoner's
pocket. A considerable number of persons were assembled
round the door of the inquest-room &trim the examinetion,
who seemed much interested in the proceedings.
The house in which the woman sought refuge is situ-
ated in William-street, and is rented by a person with
whom !die was to hove drank tea that afternoon. The
name of the man who reviled her front the fury of s
her
husbituti is Hawley, and he is justly entitled to the thane
of the public, for tha cotattge he dieplayed in such an
emergeeey,
Burt remained in the Black-lmle, heavily ironed, last
night, with a persmeto watch him, and was perfectly enm"

cured : he, to all appearence, seemed not the least effecte
