BAINARD o. PAIUIAREL—This was a proceeding against Mr. Je-
remiah Barnard for cruelty to his wife, and came on on Tuesday.
The defendant is " a tailor by trade," and a most unlikely man
to please fair lady's eye, vs'e should have thought, and yet Mrs.
Barnard is fair; and she is younger by some years than he is; and
she rejected other offers for his sake ; and she married him contrary
to the advice of her friends; and she declared that she had been a
true and loving wite.to him, front the hour he led her to the altar,
even until now.
Her story was soon told—" Mr. B. is a cruel man," said she ;
" in spite of all I have done for him—though I have loved hint,
and made much of him in sickness and in health, he is continually
beating me. I have provided a comfortable home for him by my
own industry—fur all the money he gets he spends in pot-houses,
land Lsion't see five shillings of his money once in sit months; I ant
not a woman that's given to manias at my husband ; if he comes
home sober I am pleased to see him, and if he cones home drunk I
put him to bed and say nothing ; and yet be will heat me. Last Sun-
day we had been out together among my rclations,and they had done
everything to make him in a good humour, as I thought, and yet
when we pot home at night he picked a quarrel with me, and
though I begged him, on my knees, not to beat me—, Gou bless
you B. dosetbeat me !' said ' but give me my clothes, and let me
get out of your way'--yet he did beat me till my back is as black
as a geode/11e. Your Worship may see what a face I have got, and
I can bring witnesses to prove attain my back."
His Worship told her there was no necessity for further proof,
and asked Mr. Barnard what he bad to say for himself ?
" Why, your Worship," replied Mr. Barnard, " the case is as
this—l do nog beat her continually, I only beats her when I cond.
• der it Is for her good. There are some women as won't do without
beating, everybody knows that, and Mrs. B. is one of 'em ; though
I don't deny but she's a good wife—a very good wife, as times go ;
bat, however, that's neither here nor there. ' Last Sunday night
we came home front visiting a few acquaintances, and the like of
tint, as Mrs: B. has told you, and your Worship shall hear how we
fell out, and I think you will say I was in the right. After we had
eat a bit o' supper, we went up to bed as a matter of, course ; and
while we was undressing, Mrs. B. on ene side of the bed and sue on
the other, I beard Mrs. U. give a hiccop. ' Hallo, Mrs. B. my
dear,' says are you tipsy already?' No, Mr. B. my love,' says
she,' I'm not tipsy.' Very well, Mrs. B. my dear; says I,' then
my ears have deceived me for once.' By and bye, while she was
pulling her stockings off, I hears her give another hiccup.—
' Hallo, Mrs. B.' says I, ' you're at it again !' and with that, your
Worship, she turns to and blows me up like a pickpocket, as she
always does indeed, if I do but look at her."
" And then you beat her?" said his Worship.
And then I beat her," replied Mr.B. as though his beating her.
was, like his going to bed after supper—" quite a matter of casein'
and thereupon he was consigned to the custody of the gaoler, until
he should find sureties fur abstaining from beating her in future.

Gentleman, was charged with assaulting a coachman and two
watchmen, on Saturday night last. It appeared from the evidence
of the watchmen and coachman, and from the admission of the

place, and they afterwards went in the Captain's carnage to the
Royal Saloon, Piccadilly, and left there after having drank freely.

was fined for allowing the Captain to drive his coach when In
that state.

Mari Farmer, a young man of respectable appearance. was
charged with the following robbery : It appeared that he had been
formerly iu the employ of Alcor'. Sewell and Cross, linen-drapers,
Compton-street. Soho, but that on some change in the establish-
ment, they had discharged him. He had been since frequently io the
habit of visiting the shop, and on Tuesday evening called to see
some of the young men. Mr. Sewell wasp in the shop, and told
him to go inside and assist, desiring him to stay supper with the
lads. This he declined doing. Mr. Sewell said, that feeling for-
the young man's situation, and thinking be might have some ob-
jection to stopping with the young men, he asked him to stop and
sup with himself, which be (the prisoner) consented to, and entered
into conversation with one of the lads. Shortly after, Mr. Sewell
left the shop, and the young man the prisoner was talking to, having
occasion to go up to one of the ware-rooms, was, on his return
down, surprised to Bud that the prisoner had gone away, and that
he bad carried off thirteen pieces of muslin, which were on the
counter. He immediately pursued him, and fortunately had him
taken into custody. On being searched, several duplicates were
found upon him, of sheeting and stuff, the property of Mr. Sewell,
which, together with the thirteen pieces of muslin, were produced.
The pawnbrokers where he pledged the sheeting were produced,
and identified the prisoner.
Mr. Sewell said, the ingratitude of the prisoner annoyed him
more than be could espress. The prisoner said nothing in his de-
fence, and was committed for trial. -
