CLERKE.NWELL.

John Morgan, a dairyman, residing at 39, Store-
street, Tottenham-court-road, was charged with stab-
bin; Thomas Tyrrell, of No. 1, Little Store-street,
Bedford-square.
Mr. Symons, a barrister, appeared for the prison er.
The left arm of the prosecutor, in which he received
tha wound, was bound up.
Mr. GREENWOOD remarked on his apparent debi-
lity, which Inspector Bell said was occasioned by loss
01' b!ood.

It appeared from the evidence, that some time back
a rvaarrei occurred between the prisoner and prosecu-
tor, which the former renewed last night, and used
the most insulting language towards the latter in the
Goat public-house, Chenies-street. The prisoner
foamed at the mouth with rage, and the prosecutor
said his mouth was like a mad dog's, and put his
hand upon it, and made him sit down. The prisoner
told him to do so again. The prosecutor extended
his hand, when the prisoner drew a large open clasp-
kn:f2 from his pocket, and dragged it across the thick
par: of his arm. He deposed that he bled three pints
from the wound. The surgeon at the North London
Hospital,whither he went, stated that the muscles of the
arm were cut across, and that it was a very bad
wound, but there was no danger of death.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William .Askley and Samuel Wank,WO mere lads,
chimney-sweepers, just out of their apprenticeship,
but who have been repeatedly in custody on different
charges of felony, were placed at the bar, charged on
swililc..:on of stealing a silver salt-spoon and a silver
teaspoon from the Erictheum Club-house, in St.
James's-square. It appeared that, yesterday morning,
the hall porter found the prisoners with their soot-
bags, &c., in the kitchen; and on inquiring what was
their business, the first named prisoner replied that they
were sent from Mr. Andrew's, in Crown-court,
St. James's, chimney sweeper, who did that business
for the establishment. In consequence of this repre-
sentation they were allowed to pass on—but suspicion
as to the truth of their statements being excited they
were watched, and the prisoner Wank was seen at-
tempting to break open a cheque box in the kitchen,
with a pair of scissors, he found lying beside it—no
doubt concluding that there was money in it, which
happened not to be the case. Nearly at the same
time the elderprisoner Ashley, was seen coming out of
the breakfast hall, where he had no right to have
entered, and by some means they left the house un..
noticed, but within ten minutes afterwards the plate
in question was missed from the breakfast-room. In-
formation was given to the police of the C division, in
consequence of which the prisoners were traced out
and apprehended by Inspector Plume, of the C
in the purlieu's of Westminster.
There being no chance of tracing the stolen pro-
perty, the prisoners were committed for three months
for being found on the premises with intent to com-
mit felony.

Thursday, soon after Mr. Long— had taken his seat
--
, wife of:the Rev. Dr. Dil-
lon,on the bench, Mrs. Dillon
whose name in connection with
proceedins in
another Court has been so frequertlythbefore the public,
, Franklin,
was introduced by the • chief usher,
known the following
to the
M
agistrate, to whom she made
following
par:';eulars regarding her situation :
-..'..1r5. Dillon, who seemed in an
agony of grier.
aa,
who brow' with her her little g
irl, apparently .a7bonu't
four years of age, state 1 that during the li's
NV_A es she had been residing with her husband at
Irl .
jentham's, agreengrocer, in Great Marylebone-
street.
Her husband had expressed his intention t 3 quit the
apartments which he o"Ctlvied at the house in ques-
tion, and again take up his abode at 17, Adam-street,
Manchest4. suare, where he had .fortnerly lived. She
(Mrs. Dillon)'
house,not approvin?. of the character of that
and beingpr proceeded
she would not live in
such a place, ed on the previous day to Doctors'
Commons for advice
her proctor was out o, r but on arriving there found that
toy,n. She returned to her lodg-
ings in Great Marleb
found thatY du°rine-stre,et, and, to her utter asto-
nishment,quitted, taking with ng
her absence Dr. Dillon had
him, amongst other property, the
whole of her wearing apparel,
hptareel , &c. Being-left in this di-
lemma, she repaired to station-house in Maryle-
bone-lane, being at that time destitute of money
wherewith to procure food
she begged
and there saw
Inspector Tedman, whento be provided
p.ected to see her
with shelter for the night, as shee
.mother, to whom she had written,x the morning.
Mr. Tedman sent. her to the Green Man and Still,

Oxford-street, where she and the child, upon Tedman's
name being with his authority used, were provided
with requisite food and a bed. She was not unwill-
ing to live with her husband, although he had upon
many occasions ill treated her, but she could not sub-
mit to live with him in a house which was one of a
most disreputable description ; she begged of the Ma-
gistrate to give her his advice and assistance as to how
she should act in the matter.

In reply to a question from Mr. LoNo,, Mrs. Dillon
said she had no wish to proceed with regard to an v
assault made upon her; all she wanted was, that she
should be taken to a house of respectability, and not
to one of ill repute.
The 3.IIGISTRATE observed that it was a very dis-
tressing case, but that it was one in which he had no
power to assist her. He advised her to consult her
proctor again.—Mrs. Dillon then quitted the Court.
In consequence of an application made on Thursday
morning to Mr. Long, the sitting Magistrate, by Mrs.
Dillon, for his advice and assistance, she stating that
her husband wished her to return to her former lodg-
ings, in Adam-street, Manchester-square, and ex-
pressinz her determination not to do so, as the house
bore an infamous character, .

The Rev. Mr. Dillon appeared in Court to-day,
•
and requested Mr. Long to listen to his explanation,
as, if uncontradicted, his wife's statement might do him
considerable injury. He said that he had taken the
lodgings in Adam-street, in June last, and with his
wife lived there for two months, but differences
arising, from the violence of her character, he re-
moved to other lodgings, where he lived for
six weeks. These, also, they were obliged
to leave, till at last tired of changing he refused to
go to new lodgings, and went to Mrs. Harris in
Adam-street, who knew well his unhappy family
circumstances, to request her permission to return
again to her house. She hesitated on account of Mrs.
Dillon 's violent conduct and ungovernable temper, but
at last consented, and, (concluded the Rev. Gentle-
man,) Mr. and Mrs. Harris have kept the same
house for the last seventeen years. If the house was Qf
the description represented by my wife, I as a clergy._
man would be the last to countenance it, but,l am-
ready to make oath before God that it is in every way
highly respectable.
Mr. LONG asked if the house was known to the
police ? when Inspector Tedman said that he knew
the house well, and it was notorious for harbouring
prostitutes of the worst character, many of whom had
been tried at Newgate.
Mrs. Harris, who was in Court, denied the state-
ment, and appealed to the Rev. Gentleman for con-
firmation, but he had bolted instanter.
