been addressed by Mr. W4l:Steld to a Sunday paper,
admitting the authenticity of the statement ‘which we
copied from it some time ago :-
4ancaster Castle, June 14; 1826.

Stn ---I sea, by the late numbers of your paper, that you are
charged with having sought to impose upon your readers, by the
publication of my narnttive; and I am tempted to enable you to
eby putting you in possession of the exact
t ru
and procure to he printed, the statement in
q
li(e did "
write,tigall v.' a copies of it to none but my own personal
friends or intimate aequaintanees ; and I took great pains to pre_
rretsll ti. i theo ;
but l' m
vent the printer, or any other person not well known to e, from
obtaining a copy.
In answer to some remarks made, on the oc-
casion of my
eumntittnent, by Mr. Turner's lawyer, respecting
the insertion, by me, of a statement in the julin Bull, I said that
I was "not a party to the publication of the statement in the
Jam 80, or in any other newspaper." These words were
an extract on the Stuulay after my comutitment) into a flat anti
unqualified denial of the statement itself. You will oblige me by

ga- nosel°°killgau) wearing an
ikeniapowder-horn,
peeped into the tioaid-rootu of College-street Police-office a few
mornings since, and after peeping about for a few moments, until
he caught the eye of the Magistrate, he gave one of those know.
ing winks which indicate that the winker wishes ,to have some
private conversation with the winker. The Magistrate, however,
pressed hint to come into the interior, and inquired whatbusinan
procured them the honour of his attendance?

Salaam Arias, . said Fitzsimons, placing the tips of his dex-
ter and sinister fingers on a very dirty forehead, and drawing
them down gracefully towards the knees of a vary airy pair of in-
expressibles, in the true Persian style, be asked the Magistrate,
"Did you see Mrs. Murphy, of Upper 'Church-street, or Haw-
kins, the watchinan, here lately?"
The Magistrate declared that he was totally unacieusitite,d with
Mrs. Murphy, of Upper Church-street, and requested this polite
scarecrow to inform him what was his name, residence, and -
oe-
cupation.
Fitzsimons—My sponsorial and patronymic appellations are
Michael Fitzsimons i I'm r doctor by profession, and I live in the
bog of GarristoWn ; .1 wish your Worship's leg or arm was broke,
and if I had you dawn in Garristown I'd soon do your job for

you.
Magistrate—And who is that ensiling lady who stands at your
elbow?
Fitzsimons—Oh formosa Paella, art thou there sweet Mrs.
Ittrphy ? Stand up, tell the truth, and shame the devil.
Mre. Murphy here adva►ued, and making s slight obeisance to
the Magistrate, coloured up like a red cabbage, and declared that
she merely came forward to rebut a charge against the watch-
man, who, like lieraelf,- bad been bred, bo►n, and reared in the
fens of Garrietown. •

Miiiistrate--Whoare those other persons that appear in the
Office
Six or seven persons here rose, and speaking together declared
. .

that they all lived in the bog of Garristown.
Magistrate—Why Doctor, you have brought the whole pariah
. . .

of Ga-rristown to take the Office by bt01111:

Fitzsimons—Cousidere duces, your Worship, if yott recol-
lect old Ovid, but we will proceed to the 47.1yintsv of. CIAO.
Stand up, Mn.s M'Doanell, and'ailioik S-iflrdythiug thou haat
decisre. •
Mrs. M'Dounell, stout little punch ota wonsmor with a very

leaky eye, and a face that in point of hue appeared to have been
recently besmeared with raspberry jam, advanced to the bar, and
after some preliminary coughs declared that she had been sitting in
Mrs. Murphy's house. with a male friend, when her delicacy was
offended by the persecutionsuf a thoughtless youth, who appeared.
to be smitten with he• charms, in consequence of which the male
friend took up the cudgels in her defence, bat ,Wlll marvellously
interrupted iu his performance of this laudable duty through the
interference of Mrs. Murphy.
Fitzsimons—OM you sycorat, the sphinx was a riddle com-
pared to you.
Magistrate—lf you interrupt I'li be obliged to have you turned
out.

Fitzsimons—Aye, tarn him out, your Worship.
Magistrate —I mean to hai,e you turned out.
Fitzsimons--Turn out a Doctor. Oh, your 'Worship must be
joking. Some respect must be paid to a deseendiult of Hippo-
crates.

Mrs. M‘Donnell proceeded, and stated that whet licr friend was
striving to fight with the Tenpin who had made the assault on
her virtue, the ,watchman was called in, and she was very un-
cerenioniouidy bUndled into a closet, anti what made the matter
still worse, the man was shut in along with her.
Magistrate—And what brought you into a closet with a man?
Mrs. M'Donnell—Oh, I'm a widow, your Worship.
Magietrate-,That certainly alters the case; and pray, Mrs.
Murphy, what induced you to take any part in this affair ?
Mrs. Murphy (giving the table a thump sufficient to shiver the
mast of a tishing,pmack,) I'd fight to the eyes when I saw them
strike my man.
Fitzsimons—Oh, rara avis, pattern of conjugal fidelity—give
me your Inlaid, Mrs. Murphy.
The Doctor pressed it to the left side of his ragged bodily en-
velope with the ardour of a Romeo.
'The Magistrate not tindiug anything in the matter that could
be well comprehended, sod having not a shadow of charge to incul-
pate the watchman, declared that time , summons was of a very
frivolous nature aital dismissed the parties, to the no small ecstasy
of Dr. Fitzsimons, whoexclaimeti in all the ardour of his heart,
" Bravely hast thou decided, must venerable Nestor, vale, vale, et
longum vale, you are a splendid judge and a jolly gay fellow."
The Doctor here cut a slight caper in the air to show how de-
lighted he was with the decision of the Magistrate, and departed
with the watchman, as his convoy, Mrs. Murphy, of Upper
Church-street, under his arm, anti the whole parish of Garristewn
after his heels.—Dublin Evening Mail,
