EXTRACT THOM THE DORSIT CHESTY CHRONICLR.

June 18, 1829.
Gentlemen,—When I first came down to represent you, I was led to
believe that the whole expense of the election would be within a limit
which I should have paid, and did pay, with the greatest pleasure;
and, gentlemen, you may well believe that during the last election, I
could not have the faintest idea of the vast, the ruinous expanses which
were incurred,—expenses which ,I declare before God I never authorised,
and was not aware that they had been incurred. And, gentlemen, in
reference to such ruinous expenses, I would observe that you may de-
pend on it, that you can never be fairly and independently represented,
whilst the expenses attending an election are so great as they are. Are
you aware that the expenses of the last election amounted to between
8,0001. and 9,oooL—a sum which would be a fortune to many a thrifty
industrious man ? and think you I would do so great an injustice to
my family, the dearest objects of my solicitude,—that I would
sacrifice all that I hold most dear (for the welfare of my family will
ever be nearest my heart), by paying those expenses which I never
authorized ? But, gentlemen, what did Ido ? I paid thousands and
thousands of pounds more than i understood the whole expenses of tl,c
election would amount to. I declare to you, standing as Ido here this
day, that my expenses at the last election exceeded 8,0001. Let me ask
you, then, if I am in a situation to be taunted as I have this day been?"

Mary Ann Lee was put to the bar on an :indictment charging her
with feloniously inflicting a certain wound on the thigh of Ellen
Foulkes, on the 27th of March last, in Field-lane.
On the morning in question the prosecutrix and the prisoner met in
Holborn, and went home together to breakfast, when a quarrel ensued,
and, as alleged, the prisoner struck the prosecutrix three or four
times. The consequence was that a fight took place. They, how.
ever, became apparent good friends, and the prosecutrix proceeded to
fry some meat. About ten minutes after the prisoner put her
hand in her pocket, and, without saying a word, put her hand
up the prosecutrix's clothes, who cried, " Mary, you have
stabbed me," and she found the blood issuing from her right thigh.
The prosecutrix called,a female named King to her assistance, to whom
she said the prisoner had stabbed her. The prisoner replied that she
had done it, and would do it again, and spat in her face.
In cross-examination, the prosecutrix said she was a married woman,
and had not been speaking to a man. She denied that she had been
drinking with the prisoner three or four glasses of spirits, or that the
prisoner had sat up with het the whole night. She never was in cur-
tedy for robbery. The prisoner was perfectly sober.
The evidence of the prosecutrix was confirmed by another witness.
The prisoner in her defence, protested her innocence.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty.
POLICE REPORTS.
HATTON.GARDEN.— William Goodwin, a private in the Cold-
stream Guards, was brought before Mr. Serjeant SELLON, charged
with the following robbery.
Hayter Nathaniel Scrivener stated that he was a ahopman to Mr..l.
Burgess, pawnbroker, Gray's Inn-load. Tuesday afternoon, the pri-
soner walked deliberately to the shop window, thrust his arm through
a pane of glass, unhooked a watch, and withdrew his hand and the
watch. Witness went out, and on seeing the watch in the prisoner's
hand, was about to raise an alarm, when the prisoner, who did not at-
tempt to escape, exclaimed, " Now I shall have my desire ; I am tired
of being a soldier, and wish to get transported ; send for a policeman ;
I will willingly wait here till he comes, when I will tell him that I
broke the pane of glass in the window, and stole the watch to get trans-
ported." A policeman was sent for, and the prisoner did as he stated
he would.
In reply to questions from the magistrate, the prisoner said that he
had been 14 years in the regiment ; but having on Saturday evening got
intoxicated, he quitted his quarters, which were stationed at North
Hyde, near Hounslow, without leave, and committed the offence, pre-
ferring the life of a felon to that of a degraded soldier. The regiment,
whose head-quarters was at Windsor, was under the command of the
Duke of Cambridge.
Mr. Serjeant SELLost ordered the prisoner to be remanded, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Wedderburn to be informed of the prisoner being
in custody.
TOWN.HALL.—HOAXING AN INFORMEL—Thomas James, the
owner of a timber-tart at Woolwich, came before Mr. Alderman
THORPE to defend himself against the charge of having his name and
number chalked, instead of painted, on his cart, which an informer had
locked up in the green-yard, the penalty attached to the offence being
M. and not less than 20s.
The informer having stated time and place,
The defendant said he marvelled at the man's impudence, inasmuch
as there the cart was for any person to inspect, his name, address, and
number, fairly painted upon it, and requested the Alderman to allow
an officer to prove that fact.
The informer seared, and the Alderman directed Mr. Law, the keeper
of the Borough Compeer, to go to the green-yaad. who returned to say
that he had found the defendant's account to be perfectly correct.
The informer stared again, and insisted that, if ever he saw with eyes,
the whole was in chalk when he locked the cart up.
The report, however, was unanswerable, arid the case was dismissed.
The informer attempted to account for his defeat by saying that the
cart being newly painted when he locked it up, the new paint over the
old address must have been subsequently washed off with turpentine:
be that as it may, the laugh was against him.
OUT OF TWA FRYING-PAN INTO THE FlRE.—Perkins, a crack
Waterman, said to belong to the Admiralty barge, was brought in by
the police for breaking windows when half-seas-over.
The policeman having stated that the windows had been paid for,
Perkir.s was dismissed ; but, before he could quit the Hall, he was
served with an execution from the Bailiff's office abovestairs, issued
from the Court of Requests, for a debt of 30s. which he attempted to
give leg-bail for, but was stopped in the /I%h-street, and lodged in the
Borough Compeer.
QUIRN-SQVARlL—Yesterday, Francis Hornsby, keeper of a new
beer-shop in Lower George-street, Chelsea, was fined forty shilling,
for selling beer during the hours of divine service on Good Friday.—
John Swills, keeping a similar house in the same street, was fined forty
binning' each, upon two informations, for serving beer on Good Friday,
and the following Sunday.
LAMRETH-STREET.—Yesterday, Wm. Baxter, a master builder,
and Thomas Tonman, a lighterman, were brought before Mr. HARD.
WICK for further examination, the latter on a charge of having assisted
in removing a quantity of timber from the yard of Mr. Dickson, a tim-
ber merchant, in the Commercial-road, near Limehouse.bridge, andthc
former receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
Remanded until Saturday.
