ing house of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., a forged cheque
for the sum of 1101.

Mr. Gallalty, a senior clerk at Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and
Co.'s, deposed that the cheque was a forgery.—The prisoner

MARYLEBONE.—CHARGE OF MURIA:R.-At a late
hour on Saturday evening, Thomas Munday, a journey-
man stonemason, residing at No. 8, Cleveland-street, Fitz-
roy-square, was brought before EDMUND Gais•viTir, Esq.
charged on suspicion of having murdered his wife, an elderly
female, about fifty years of age.
Mr. John M'Alkin, was an assistant to Mr. Clough, a
surgeon, in Fitzroy-square. He was requested to visit the
deceased on Friday fortnight, when he found her hand and
arm in a state of great inflammation. He asked her the
origin of the disease, and he understood it was produced by
the stab of a fork, and was inflicted by her husband. Mor-
tification ensued, and she expired last Tuesday. He saw
her on the Sunday evening previous to her death, and the
unfortunate woman was then aware of her danger.
Helena Jones, the wife of a tailor, lodging on the second
floor of No. 8, Cleveland-street, stated, that the prisoner
and his wife lived on the third floor ; on Sunday, the 25th
November, about one o'clock, the deceased came to her
door, and requested her husband to accompany her to the
hospital ; her hand was bleeding profusely, and she cried
very much and called her husband " a murdering old thief;"
witness saw the deceased to the Hospital, and understood
the prisoner inflicted the injury with a fork.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, the death of his wife
was entirely attributable to accident; he was cutting a
piece of meat for a little girl, and she endeavoured to take
it from him, and in doing so ran her hand upon ti. fork.
Mr. GRIFFITH remanded the prisoner till an inquest is
held on the body.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Saturday, Mr. Thos.
Hooton, a respectable salesman, in Newgate-market, was
brought up on a charge of having received twelve gold
pheasants, value 601., the property of Thomas Stoner, Esq.
Stoner Park, Berks, knowing them to be stolen. Mr.
Stoner's coachman proved that Mr. Stoner kept gold phea-
sants in a preserve in the park, which was wired all round,
and locked at night. On Wednesday night the lock was
forced open, and twelve pheasants stolen. The coachman
of the Stroudwater mail deposed, that on Thursday morn-
ing, about five o'clock, when passing Stoner Park, he re-
ceived two bags directed to the defendant, from a man he
did not know, who said they contained game cocks.
When he arrived at the Angel Inn, Angel-street, he opened
the bags, and found they contained 12 gold pheasants.

Mr:DTEIL said, he considered the—transaction as very
suspicious, and should, therefore, hold Mr. Hooton to bail,
himself in 200/., and two sureties in 100/. each.

44 FALLING WITH DIGNITY."--We have
heard of a Lieutenant in the Company's Service marrying
in England tinder the title of Lieutenant- Colonel. On
his voyage back, he gradually dropped a link in the chain
of promotion; at the Cape he was a Major ; at Madras, a
Capta►n ; till the bride, alarmed at the derogatory effects
of the voyage, entreated her husband to tell her at once,—
what, in the name of fortune he really was.

During the late inundations the dam of
Broniarth Pool, a fine piece of water belonging to W.
congsßY Goaz, Esq. between Guilsfield and Myfod, buret
through, and the immense rush of water did much da-
mage from thence to the River Virniew, nearly a mile off.
The public road was rende,•ed impassable in several places ;
great excavations were made ; and much meadow land
covered with stone and rubbish. The water made its way
through the farm-yard at Penylan, and the injury sus-
tained by blur MyrroN, Esq. is said to be considerable—
