LAMBETH. STREET

S"}:" AGAINi--- On his discharge a regular Ball was
given by Old Sheen, whose -apartment is directly over a
stable, and which is reached only by a step ladder, and a
mass of the vilest of human beings, congregated to ce-
lebrate the fortunate escape. Out of this several complaints
arose, but the one which is the more immediate subject
of this report was the only one which can be considered as
having arrived at maturity, and last night came under the
notice at this office of John Curtis, Esq., one of the county
magistrates. An elderly woman, named Sarah Roberts,
was brought in by Norris, one of the officers, who having
inforMed Mr. Curtis of the nature of the charge about to
be preferred—" that of threatening to murder, and putting
her in bodily fear of her life," the learned Magistrate
closely investigated the complaint, prefacing his after obser-
vations by saying that there was considerable obloquy
attached to Sheen, and great public irritation against him,
notwithstanding his acquittal, and that perhaps the present
charge originated in Mrs. Roberts having in some manner
excited his ire by throwing out insinuations or reproaches
against him.

Airs. Roberts denied that she had done so.
Mr. Ceti:Ns—You may now be sworn, and state the
nature of your complaint; but be particular.
Airs. Roberts—Why, Sir, I am a hard working poor wo-
man, and sell things at the corner of the street, which I
did for many years. I was sitting there attending to my busi-
ness, and my daughter-in-law was with me, when
Sheen came out.

Mr. CU/MS—WI:LS her a mob ? Mrs. Roberts—
There was, your Worship.
_ _

Mr. Cui.tris—What Caused it' Mrs. Roberts—Wm.
Sheen and his bands of music, drums, and fifes ; he was
marching about in his shirt sleeves, like any Lord. When
my daughter, Sir, made the remark, he turned at her and
said what I don't like to tell you, Sir.
Mr. Curms—But it is necessary that you should.
Mrs. Roberts—Well, then, be said she was a --, and
that he would prove her se, for that lie had made her so
himself. A neighbour came to me and told me what was
going on, and 1 went to him and asked why be had called
her such names ? Ile, on that, attacked me, and said
I was an old and he would he but he would
give me a pill for it.
Mr. Cußrts—Do you ❑nderstand by that that be will
murder you?

Mrs. Roberts—Nothing else, your Worship, 1 ens sure
of it ; my life is not safe, unless be is bound by the laws.
Mr. CunTis..--You know you have sworn this.—Mrs.
Robert:._l know I do.

3lr. ConT►s.—Then you shall have a warrant, and this
Sheen shall be held to lba►i.

The warrant then received the magistrate's signature,
and was placed in the hands of Norris, an intelligent and
vigilant officer. If apprehended, Sheen will be examined
this day.

tiPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.7-JuLr 16.

The Rooms to-day presented a goodly show of the
sporting wotld, both in number and quality, and the dust
flew about in considerable quantities. Heavy stuns were
laid out on the St. Leger, and the betting men seemed
making up for lost time. Mr. Gully is backing his horse
Mameluke through thick and thin, and has backed him
for seven thousand pounds against any ten horses, barring
Granby and Reviewer. An old turfman had backed the
following ten for 20001., namely, Nonplus, Matilda,
PLu-
naria, Malek, Lumlev's colt, Pedlar, Sancho, Translation,
Antiope, and Coalition, when another of the leading
Mentors took for 5000/., seven of the above horses, and'
Olivera, Smoleneko, and Popsy, instead of Lunatic, Coali-
tion, and Translation. 'After the bet, however, finding
that he had left out Lunaria, he offered Mr. Gully 1001.
to allow him to add her to the list. The Derby was hardly
named, and no bets were made on it. The following
will be found a correct statement of the ochl

ROWING MATCHES.

The lovers of aquatic 'Forts had a fine treat on Satur-
day afternoon, when the boat, given by the Shark Club,
NNW rowed for by seven of the best men on the Riven
Great interest was attached to this match, the betting
having been so large. At about six o'clock the signal for
starting was given from Westminster Bridge, and Farson
took and kept the lead up to Putney Bridge, and having
got through first, Was entitled to the prize. A severe
contest took place between Brummell and Westwood, but
the former came in second. As Farson had on a former
occasion met with unfair play, a spotting member of the
Stock Exchange, teho betted on him, engaged several wa-
termen to keep the way clear. This match was well con-
tested. The company on the Rivet was more select than
numerous.

THE FUNNY CLUB.-Yesterday afternoon the boat given
by the Funny Club was rowed for, and some excellent
sport took place. The contest was between Purple, Yel-
low, and White ; the last being the first in for the first
heat. The second heat to Chelsea College and hack was
started for, and after a hard struggle won by White. The
boats came in close to each other.

DRE.I.OFUL .ACCIDENT.--This morning,
about eleven o'clock, an accident occurred at Beaufort-
wharf, Strand. A Mr. Woods, a farmer, residing at
Bovington
, Herts, was proceeding with his cart down the
hill which leads to Beaufort-wharf„ fur the purpose of de-
livering some hay, when the horse slipped and threw the cart
on one side, and Mr. Wood being between the cart and
the wail, was jammed forcibly against the brick-work, and
remained in that dreadful situation several minutes before
he could be extricated, during which time his cries were
most piteous. He was taken to a surgeon's in an almost
lifeless state, and afterwards conveyed on a shutter to the
house of a relative in Tottenham-court-road, where he
now lies without hope of recovery.
