MATIIMONTAL AGINCY.—The case of Mn. Brady, who star
induced by her conespondence with Mr. Wright, the general nem.
to come to London from Warrington, in the hope of obtaining a
lucrative situation, came on again before the Loan Alamos. The

his own statement, to engage a housekeeper who might turn out to
be eligible as a wife, attended in obedience to the Lord Mayor's sum.

died a short time ago.

bastion given by Mt. Wright, in which the man of the law was

The Loin MAYOR asked whether he bad commissioned th •
" genaal broker" as had been described.
The attorney most indignantly declared that he never had em-
ployed Mr. Wright in his life in any manner, and surely if he want.
ed to speculate in wives he would not have been so mad as to di,-
closes secret of the kind to that person.
Mr. Wrriigght said that the attorney's memory was excessively shor.
and unsatisfactory, for he had forgaten what other men would have

an individual upon such meagre testimonials, and if Mrs. Brady
bad paid any money to the general agent, he hoped the law would

Mr. Wright shook his heed very mu at He considered i.
ungrateful in a person whom he had gone to a great deal of trouble
to accommodate with s lady adapted to his taste, to turn round
upon him and accuse him of having acted unconscienciously.—
" You know very well, Sir," said he, " that you said if you
should be satisfied with the lady 1 should supply you with.
you would make her your wife. It was a specific declaration or
yours.'
The Attorney—'Tis false. I never said a word about it. 31y
Lord Mayor, I am ready to take my oath that nothing of the sort
was ever said by me.
Mrs. Brady-1 didn't want a husband; it was said that my ob.
jeer in coming to:town was to get a husband, but I assure you, my
Lord, I bad no thought of the kind. I wanted no husband. (A
laugh.) I merely wanted a place, and 1 have been brought all t1..4
way for nothing.
The Attorney—l wanted no wife. (Loud laughter.) I d!dn't
send for you. No, no.
Mr. Wright—lt was my duty to introduce you to each other

conduct the business of a general agent openly. Could any thing
be mare unexceptionable than my conduct in this affair. A gentle.
man loses his wife, and as he is in want of somebody to mind 3
shop, thinks that he may as well unite the employments, and ay.
plies to me to procure him a person qualified -in both respects. I
pursued the most effectual course ; but I must confess, that when
I saw Mrs. Brady, I thought she wouldn't do.
The Attorney—l assure you, my Lord, that nothing was farther
from my thoughts than a wife.
Mr. Wright—My Lord, I hope you will acquit me of any sus.
picious intentions. My business is straight forward, I shall en.
deavour to procure a situation for this poor woman.
The Loan AlAvon—You bad better give her some recoospenc:
for the injury she has sustained. Take my advice, and withdrav
with ha. It is betty to settle a matter of this kind as speedily as
possible.
Mr. Wright at once admitted the propriety of his Lordship's tug-
9tiainon, and after a little conversation with Mrs. Brady, struck s
with her, by which she will be enabled to return to Lan.
ire in atatu quo.
