MAWS lON-HOUST.—YellertlAy a decent 7oung
woman was brought up on a charge of uttering
coanterteit Wiling., at a public-houfe on College
hill, Upper Thames-drect. The prifoner was dif-
charged, on proving that (he had received the
fame from a publican, of whom (he had had change
of a tl. note. She afterwards exhibited a com-
plaint againit the conflable who took her into cat:
tody, Bating, that he took from her what money
(he had in her pocket, and refufed to return the
fame,. or even any part of it. He was, in conic-
quence, b-ought np before the Loan MAYOR, who
committed him to the Poultry Compter.
Woas usr-sraekr.—Yclierday John Salmon was
examined on fulpicion of Healing carpenters' tools
from a filed in a new building, in the parith of St.
Matthew, Bethnal-green, the property of the work-
men. He was committed for trial.

Several publicans in the jurifdidion of this Office
attended by virtue of fummonfes, charged with
fuffering unlawful games to be played in their fc•
veral houfes. They were fined 205. each.
A man was committed for want of fureties, for
having violently affaulted a youth, who lodged in
his houfe, by beating him in a cruel manner.

Go oLDNALL.—Thurfday a charge was prefer-
red againt two young men for Ailing and con-
tenting to the elopement of the complainant's wife.
The hutband lamented the inttability of all human
happinefs; but eight weds before, he (aid, he had
thought himfelf the happieß of mortals, having
efpoufed the woman of his choice ; young, beau-
tiful, and affedionate. The homy now, however,
had fcarcely fenk in the wane, before be found, to
his inexpreffible grief, that his newly-acquired
contort, the partner for his life of all his pleafures
and his :arcs, WAS incapable, at times, of affording
him either fatisfadion in blifs, or confolation in
trouble, from the too potent draughts it had long
been her cußom to indulge in. It was in vain he
rebuked her for a habit which he told her would
prove her ruin; the was-incorrigible; and when be
found remonfirance was of no avail, he imagined
a little:ea& and wbolfignse correfiims might ad as a
prevaitiv t ; he accordingly took the liberty of
tiling a pradied argument, which he hoped might
work as a falutary and fpeedy corredive. In this
he was millaken, and the young, beasailid, and al
!almost', to thew her ditlike of the recipe, decamped
with all the comfort: the could collcd, and left her
phyfician to meditate on the inefficacy of his ap-
plication.
The parties profeffed their ignorance of any
elopement ; all they knew was, that the complain-
ant's unit drivel bard, and that he thrafied hard—
therefore, not being able to (et their horfes together
they had each taken a feparate road, but where
and in what direction they knew not.

The Magiiirate difcharged the parties, recom-
mending the complainant to confole himfelf under
the idea that the loft of a bad wife was a reel gain.
