The 1401 W MAYOR having made some .observations
upon the great public advantages arising from the rigid
inspection of fish at the market,
Mr. Goldham said that Wore his appointment to the
market, the public were imposed upon by immense
quantities of bad and unwholesome fish of all descrip-
tions. With the assistance of two inspectors, who
were appointed by the Fishmongers' Company at
the suggestion of Mr. Pearson, who was Chairman of
the Corporation Committee on the Cholera, the market
was regularly cleared of unwholesome fish. He wished
that the other great markets in the metropolis were also
regularly visited by inspectors, and was convinced that
if officers of the sort were appointed the public health
would be very considerably improved.

COMMISSION COURT, DUBLIN.
(TUESDAY.)
Yesterday, Mr. Caldwell, an attorney, was placed at the
bar, charged with attempting to violate Mrs. Corbett, the
wife of Mr. Corbett, Barrister at Law. The case was tried
before Mr. Baron Richards and Justice Perrin. Airs. Corbett
was the first witness examined, and detailed the nature of the
uservant gn
• and Mr. Corbett confirmed her statement, and the
s latteraal t .
The
m
appeared in The Sun. The
evidence, which is not tit for asoe account
additional
pub-
lication, but which left no doubt of the object of the prisoner.
He also swore that the letters produced by Mr. Caldwell were
not in the writing of Mrs. Corbett One of the letters
ran thus:—

._._ ...__ .
,4 My Dearest Friend,—When I returned, a certain person
was there, and had not been out ; he questioned me at great
length respecting m absence. For God's sake be most
t
careful, as he is sty •ions, and when you call have a very
good excuse for the. xt two months—after that period we
shall be secure. ink, under existing circumstances, it
mik
would be de ' e for you to defer calling upon me for a
f,vr days, when) as may have some excuse—as meeting out of
doors is uncomfortab and hazardous. a * • I
God bless pill &c., CHARLO TT E.
Other three letters were written in the most endearing
terms. Allut,ons were made to some disagreeable persons
called, " King Richard," " Mr. Lamb," "Paul- Pry," &c.
An appointment was suggested in Hume-street, thus—" I was
thinking if it meet your perfect convenience we might meet in
Hume-street. There is a house to be let at the corner, which
we might go into to inquire about, and then have an agreeabe
tete-a-tete." Counsel continued to observe on these letters,
which he said ho would support by evidence above suspicion.
Several witnesses of high respectability were examined, who
deposed that they did not believe the letters to be in the hand-
writing of Mrs. Corbett, and also that they had long known
her, and considered her to be a lady of reserved habits, excel-
lent conduct, and unimpeachable character.

A number of witnesses were called for the defence, among
others Mr. Peat, a wholesale stationer, who swore that he saw
the defendant and'Mrs. Corbett walking together on the 10th
of March, in Camden-street, and during the time he saw them,
the lady kept looking up in Mr. Caldwell's face, and talking.
James Packenbam, the son of a painter, also stated that he
had seen them walking together once at least, but he believed
twice. Mr. Chadwick, an attorney, said, I know Mts. Cor-
bett. I have acted in matters in which she was concerned. I
am acquainted with the character of her handwriting. I be-
lieve this letter to be her handwriting (the letter of the 21st
February). I believe the second one to be all in her hand-
writing; and I believe these two to be in her handwriting.
Cross-examined—l first saw those four documents two or
three days after the first information was sworn. 1 swear I was
not charged with pocketing 4col. in the suit. I got money of a
trust fund into my hand, which I paid last December. 1 had
it about a year. I was in Court the day the case was heard.
I don't think it two years. I had the money from the 12th
July, 1829 ; it was Mr. and Mrs. Siree's money. I got it to
invest in such security as I thought proper. I fent part of the
stoney in bills.

Afier some further evidence, Baron RICHA ans summed up,
and at half-past seven this evening the Jury, after having re-
tired for two hours, returned a vecdict ot " Guilty." The trial
lasted two days.
