equal--say three score and ten each; but in length of petson the
ex-grenadier has the advantage of the sausap-stuffer by at least
half a yard.
The ex-grenadier deposed, that though he himself is the molt
peaceably inclined mad in existence, the sausage-stuffer will never
kt hint be at peace, but is continually aiding up conspiracies
against him, and putting ill languages upon him—whether he is

ex-grenadier, " I prensonnestutd with him In respect to that regard,

The sausage-stuffer and seventeen witnesses answered this charge

unfortunate ex-grenadier at once, and laid sins enough tb his charge
to furnish out a whsle regiment of grenadiers.—lle was as idle ak a

a young woman as thaws. going up stairs.
" I detest my innocence before Gon and man!" exclaimed the ex•
grenadier, when he beard this last charge.
" Don't believe him, your Worship—he's callableof anything !"
cried the sausage-stuffer. " Don't believe him—he's a dirty, shod•

Worship decided that the ex-grenadiet and the sausage-stuffer should
both give bail to keep the peace towards all the King's subjects in

street, Westminster, appeared before MallifJoND, Esq:the Sit-
ting Magistrate, and stated, that at a late hour on the prectding
night three young men, very genteelly dressed, who appeared to
have been merrymaking over the bottle, came to hit stall, and bv
way of a lark, began to pull her about, and to take Freedoms, which
she resented. One of them in a jocular way snatched jeer shawl
from her neck, and she made an attempt to retake it, which pro.
duced a struggle in which they all joined. At length she succeeded
in regaining her shawl, and the party left her in h:gh good humour.
Shortly after they were gone she perceived something weighty clang.
ling from one corner of her shawl, which on examinationproved to
be a very handsome watch, the appendages of which were en.
tangled in the fringe of the shawl, and which had apparently Bern
accidentally drawn front the pocket of its owner during the frolic.
She now produced the watch, and said she had made this applica-
tion with the view of having proper steps taken to find the owner.
The Magistrate said he would cause proper inquiry to be made
after the owner of the watch, and told the poor woman she should
be rewarded for her honesty and the trouble she had taken.
Mr. William Johnson appeared oh a summons to answer a charge
against Messrs. Johnson and Brice, paviors, of Millbank.street,
Westminster, under the Mutiny Act, for not furnishing a cart and
horses, pursuant to notice, to assist in removing the baggage of th
3d Battalion of the Ist Grenadiet Regiment of Foot Guards, Crinu
the King's-mews barracks, to Sutton, on their route to Brighton, en
Thursday, the 12th instant.
Mr. Johnson said the non-attendance of the cart was owing trbol:y
to the circumstance of the carman having overslept himself to con-
sequence of excessive fatigue from the preteding day's work.
The defendants Were convicted in the lowest penalt), 40a.
Ittleltsfett _ _

A youthful and lighthearted son of Neptune, about
two years ago, was called into the active service of his
country, and not Dilly necessitated to quit his " nativc
home," but that which was more dear to him than los
existence, a lovely and amiable wife, whom he had takel
to himself but a very short time pievioasly to his me.
lancholy separation. Notwithstanding, Jack c-iisoled
himself with the idea of once more meeting with a
friend in London, on his return alter a prosperous
voyage. This did not, however, turnout to be the case,
and after an absence foe the above period, he returned
to his native shore, where he discovered that the " girl
of hisheart" was selling apples at the corner of Chandos-
street, to which place he repaired, with all the speed
that nature supplied him with, until he gave one joyous
glance at the sweet girl, who rr.et him with cordial at-
tachment. Mutual inquiries took place; but Jack's
astonishment may be easily imagined when his wife re-
fused to introduce him to her home, and on ascertaining
where she lived, he discovered that an old pensioner,
upwarde of seventy years of age, had been cohabiting
with his frail rib during the last twelve months, and
most wretched life they had led,
_quarrelling and
threatening to murder each other all day. Jack soon
gave the old one " warning to quit," but received his
wife again under his protection, after professions of love,
and that distress drove her to the necessity of loving the
pensioner,.for the sake of his 201. 14. year j and oa this
excuse he consented to join his wife's humble calling,
and became-master of the " fruiterer's shop." 13..1:
what must be the audacity of the pensioner, when he
proceeded to Jack,whilst sitting by the applbs and pears,
and asked for a aperth of pears. Jack replied, "I'c
doesn't make aperths, so 'Riede" (leave.) " Well," le-
joined the pensioner, "if you don't make a aperth, g:
Us a pennerth." Jack detet mined not to serve him ;
and conceiving this to be a direct insult, after the nian-
ner in which he had. mated hies and his Wife, gave hint
one or two 114 Cribb, while the old son of Neptune de-
fended himself with a stick, and the crowd began to
abuse Jack for ill-treating the old men, without know-
ing the cause, and he was pelted with apples, pears,
and currants, until he was taken into custody and
tarried before the Magitttate at 110*-stteet, where their
quarrel was disensied to the no small amusernea of a
crowded Coto t. Tne pensioner cut it very awkward ap-
pearante before his Worship, while Jack won the laurels.
The pensioner swore he loved the girl dearly; Jack
swore be loved and Would cht•iish her better than " such
an old —;" and the inconstant fair one, with a look of
indignation, spurned the old one, and vowed to " love,
honour, and obey her lawful hutband until death," and
Jack was acquitted honourably.
