KIN(PS BENCH, DUBLIN, DEC. I.

ARI,UCTIOW4--AN IRISH WAKIFIET.b.
Mr. PRIMP' applied to the Court in ease in which a writ of
habeas corpus had been leaned, on the 15th of last month, to
John Place, requiring him to bring up the body of Mary Christie,
otherwise Place, that the period for complying with this writ may '
be enlarged. his object in making this motion principally was
to prevent the young lady from being exposed ire open Court. A
pretended marriage had taken place between her and an indivi-
dual of the name of Christie, about two years ago; in a roam in
Smithfield.
The COURT—No cohabitation followed ?
MI% 'lbruarN—No, my Lords. She was carried away by this
man on her way to school, and he sent her back there in a coach
immediately after the pretended marriage. A relative OM saw
her stepping out of the coach tent word to her parents,' who had
her brought home, when she told them what had occurred. Chris.
tie fled the country. The young lady is not yet 17.
The COURT asked, did tie wish to enlarge the order for a fort-
night? -
Mr. Puatw said he did. This was a case which exceeded in
•iinpudence-even that of Wakefield. He would have the necessary
affidavits ready for 'the rising of the Court.
The Count---Enlarge the time for a fortnight,....4rish Paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-J-lOUSE.—Yesititdai-. a .watchman appeared to
answer the complaint of Mr.;!:liiael Alexander, a, well.known
horse-dealer.-,Mr. Alexander ittated,--that about two o'clock one

morning last week' he left the-. Castle Ifivern, Pore-Street, in com-
pany with i:drunken friend (Mr. Pickford, the wharfinger and
carrier). He (Mr. Alexande)' was conducting his drunken
friend home, when, without theslightest ground whateVer, the
defendant seitetthem, and Contitided them to the watch-house.
There the night constable heard their case, and, seeing no cause
to detain them, discharged them. The watchman, however, was
not to be disappointed. He followed them, recaptured them, and
lodged them in the watch-house.. On their way thither he kept
" nudging ". them in the ribs with a short stick, manifestly with
the intention of getting them to strike him, and enabling him to
make money of the assault.
The LORD Mayon., as the assault was positively sworn to by
the complainant, ordered the watchman to enter into his own re-
cognisance, to appear and answer the charge preferred against
hint at the Sessions. His Lordship commented on the conduct of
Mr. Pledger, the landlord of the Castle Tavern, in allowing
parties to remain drinking in his house at so late an hour.
Mr. Alexander spoke of this house being a tavern, and not
within the purview of the common regulations for public-houses,
any more than was the London' Tavern.
The Loan MAYOR declared, that if the Sheriff of London
kept a public-house, or tavern, as it might be called, and were
proved to have suffered tippling in his house at a forbidden hour,
he would fine him. He (the Lord Mayor) should at all times be
ready to prove, that there was not one law fur the rich and atm-
ther for the poor.
James Perkins, the driver of the Blackwell coach No. 6,018,
was charged with having furiously driven the horses of his coach,
to the great danger of his Majesty's subjects.
The Lotto Mayon, as the fact was distinctly sworn to by
Wheeler, convicted the defendant in the penalty of h/. His Lord-
ship, at the same time, declared, with respect to these short stages,
that they were allowed to stand in the streets upon sufferance!. and
- that if the instances of misconduct were repeated, he would un-
doubtedly prevent their standing there at all.
QUEEN-SQUARE.---Mr. James Hallet, a churchwarden
belonging to St. John's parish, Westminster, appeared to show
cause why he refused to pay the stun of Si. 10s. on an order of
Mr. Marriott, for the attendance of three engines, and the turn-
, cock, at a fire in the chimney of - Walmsley, Esq. residing
at No. 8, Abingdon-street.

Mr. Walrusles'y did net attempt to deny that the chimney mighi
Itave been on fire, but that all fears subsided within ten minutes,

It was occasioned by isome soot waking a lodgment. His servant
informed him of the circumstance, while he was attending the
.House of Lords. He returned Louie and the fire was out. There

were no engines at that time, neither were they required. Under
these grounds he considered himself not liable.
Mr. Msanton said, that there was an admission of the fire,
but he, with his colleague (Mr. White), were of opinion' that
only the first engine was entitled to the reward, exclusive of
the turneock.
The award was then mule out at 40s. instead of Si. 10s.

TOWN-HALL—A student of Guy's and St. Thomas's Hos-
pital was charged yesterday, by Mr. John Nimmn, with stealing
from his shop a number of valuable books.
Mr. Nimmo stated, that having lately missed several books, he
was led to suspect the prisoner and a companion of his, both of
whom frequently came to his shop, and looked over his . stock,
but never purchased any thing. On Thursday last, on his return
from the city, he discovered some more books gone. The pri-
soner was in consequence taken into custody ; among the books
purloined, were " Armstrong's New Druggist's Price Book,"
"'A Century of Surgeons," two copies of the " London Dissec-
tors," and several lecture books, all of whoM he confessed to
have taken. . _ _

The prisoner pleaded being seduced into the commission of the
act by his companion. •
The connexions of this imprudent young man are• Of the greatest
respectability in the West of England.—He was remanded.
