THE GALWAY ELECTION.

The Committee resumed its sittings to-day. The late
Sheriff for the county of Galway appeared and proved the
poll-books. Application was made to the Chairman on
behalf of Mr., Martin to move the House that a message
be sent to the Lords, requesting the attendance of the
Marquisses of Sligo, Bristol, and Clanricarde, to give evi-
dence in this case. The Committee then proceeded to a
scrutiny.
Mr. MARTtw's object in requiring the attendance of the
Most Noble Peers is to show an unconstitutional inter-
ferenci on their behec in the late election.
THE WESTMEATH ELECTION.

The committee have come to a resolution to allow the
defendants in this case a commission to examine witnesses
in Ireland, but will permit Mr. Smith to go through his
case here if he thinks proper.

SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.

The Borough Sessions were opened this morning at the
Town Hall, before Mr. Alderman SMITH, Mr. Serjeant
ARABIK, and the late LORD MAYOR. _

Joseph Cordering was indicted for an assault upon the
portly person of Mrs. Andrews, a lady of uncommonly
majestic proportions.
It appeared that the parties are both resident in the
Borough, and that Mrs. A. had been for a number of
years in the habit of paying her devotions to the traver-
seri cistern, at those periods when the severity of the
weather had frozen up all the troughs in the neighbour-
hood. Mr. C. did not object to his fair neighbour's visits
fur many year:, but, alas! as the Poet has it—
how light a cause may more
Dissension between hearts that love.

Mrs. Andrews's little dog Whiffle, one morning, in a
freakish humour, burglarionsly entered the hen-roost of
Mr. Corderin.g, causing the utmost tumult and confusion
amongst the inhabitants, several of whom were, at:that:mo-
ment, in the straw. After this unprovoked aggression ontthe
part of little Whiftle,hostile feelings were engendered between
the parties, which, though smothered for some time, at length
burst forth, and Mrs. Andrews having thrown an impu-
tation ou the moral character of Mr. Cordering's eldest
born, or, in plainer language, termed the youth a thief,
the traverser threw off even the semblance of amity,
and declared that Mrs. Andrews should no longer enjoy
the cooling waters of his fountain. Mrs. A. was no
sooner acquainted with this resolve, than she determined to
show how little she valued it. Taking her pitcher there-
fore, though very unlike a Naiad, she proceeded to the foun-
tain, where Mr. C. was , already standing sentinel. A
most unneighbourly scene took place on this °ma.%
lion, which ended in an indictment for au a:.ault.
Mrs. A. swore that the traverser shook her delicate person,
and the traverser's witnesses swore, " that she vent ornery
near to drowning him in his own vater butt." Under
those circumstances the Jury returned a verdict of acquit-
tal, and the parties withdrew, teeming with undiminished ire.
