MARLBOROUGH4TREET.

Mr. Eller, the Harlequin of Covent-Garden Theatre, accom-
panied by Mr. Kirby, the Harlequin of the Adelphl Theatre, pre-
sented himself before Sir Groaoa Fasaarrr, the Magistrate, to ask
for redress under the following circumstances :
Mr. Eller said, that on the 28th of June last, he sent a man from
his house with a new Harlequin's dress, to be left for him at
Covent-Garden Theatre; but on his way thither the man thought
proper to get drunk, and got robbed of, or, by some otber means,
lost the Harlequin's dress. lie (Mr. Eller) has since had his eye
upon all places of sale for such articles, but in vain, until that day,
did he look for his own. On that morning, as he was passing the
shop of Mrs. Emanuel, in Princes.street, opposite Gerrard-street,
Soho, his eye was attracted by a new Harlequin's dress in the
window, which he immediately suspected to be that which he had
last, and went in to look at it, and on his examining it, his auspi.
dons were confirmed.

Mrs. Emanuel being now called upon to account for the posses-
sion of the dreg, said, that about five weeks ago, an elderly woman
came on a very wet day to her shop, and offered this dress for sale,
saying, that it belonged to a man who had got so drunk in a pub-
IiCAOGN which she named, that he was put to bed there, and
having no money to pay his bill in the morning, he sent her with
the dress to sell it. She asked 30s. at first for it, but this Mrs.
Emanuel rallied to give and the woman went away; but in a
short dine came back again, saying, that she would take 255. by
the direction of the owner, whom she had since seen. Mrs. Ems.
noel offered her Us. and ley at length agreed on the terms for
the dress, Is. for the woman herself who brought it, besides a glass
of gin, as the day was wet.
Sir G. Panama said, he supposed Mrs. Emanuel would not now
object to giving up the dress to Mr. Eau?
She said that she considered it a hard cue were she compelled
to do so, after paying the money for it ; but on being told that she
was, by law, compelled to return it, she consented to do so, and
gave the dreg tit Mr. Misr.

_
Mrs. Mau& was charged by her husband, who is a respectable
master.tailer, in Chariottastrect, Rathbme•place, with threatening
to stab him.

It appeared that Mrs. Valenti* and her husband agreed to a se-
paration, upon condition that he allowed her £52 per annum. A
deed of settlement was prepared, and on Thursday afternoon it
was placed on the table, an preliminaries being adjusted, and the
parties were about to sign it in the presence of witnesses. Mr.
Valentin took up a glass of brandy and water, and drank success
to their separation. In consequence of this provocation, Mrs. Va.
kntia used the threat imputed to her, that she would stab him,
and he said that he went in fear of his life, as she was a woman of
a warm temper. She was ordered to find bail; but some arrangement
afterwards took place between the parties, as to their separation,
and the warrant against her was discharged.

Interest to the Nobility and Gentry of the parish, and in fact of the
metropolis, who are similarly situated, as to their right of allowing
the dung of their stables to remain in the mews into which their
stables open : an 4 they, being lessees of the different mansions, had
not a right to lay that dung on their own premises.
Mr. Law said, the Stand question so agitated was, whether a
Gentleman taking premises for a certain term of years was or was
not at liberty to place outside: of his stable-dour the sweep:iv of

stable? This, Mr. Dethwond ',tidied to say. would be a
I
nuisance to his neighbour; and that he was much annoyed by the
fsimes frees tie dung. k was a question of great impatience, and
inn his Worship's &chins the parties at iisee would be satisfied.
We. linstruneon said be would give it some consideration ISt fete*
be gave his decision, as the eloquence of his Learned Friend (Mr.
Law) en this point' required some digestion, and would be pie
pared to glee his decision on Wednesday ne=t.
