MASSIOii-HOUSE.

Two respectably dressed females, named rakers, sisters, were
placed at the bar, charged, in conjunction with their brother, with
committing a desperate assault on a gentleman named Penman,
under singular circumstances.
From the statement of Mr. Penman, who exhibited a thick
stick in the office, and which be had forcibly taken from sir.
Walters, it speared that he was occupying premises cu
which the prisoners conceived they had a right, under some
previous agreement. On Tuesday evening the two Miss Wal.
ters and their brother came to his (Mr. Penman's) house, and se-
verely assaulted him, the brother striking him severely with the
stick be bald in his hand.

The LORD !SAVOR said, that the stick was really a formidable
weapon, and asked Mr. Penman how the females conceived they
bad a risht to the premises ?
Mr. Penman's solicitor said, the case had been before the Com-
mon Pleas. and dismissed. The fact was, that the sisters, in his
opinion, acted under their brother, and a severe assault had
been committed upon his client by the sisters at the bar, and
their brother, having attacked Mr. Penman simultaneously.
—His client had possession of the premises lepily, but the
defendants conceived that by virtue of some other agreement they
were injured. The only case to be considered by his Lordship
was the smelt. Other Courts were open for the trial of the ques-
don of right of on.
The LORD Maresid, if the brother was unable to look to his
own affairs, the sisters did right to protect his interest ; but a serious
assault bad bees committed, and the sisters must find bail.
The brother also was held to bail subsequently.

the scattered bundle, while another oti cer. who walked behind,
saw that his pockets were stocked with some other article, and im-
mediately took from them several large lumps of rhubarb. Herds-

the prisoner; a quantity of writing paper was foind epos the pri-
soner's person.
The prisoner, on being asked whether be had any thing to say
in his defence, was silent.
The Loma Maros said, that notwithstanding the numerous ex-
amples which had been made, this species of offence was becoming
still mare prevalent.
A labourer complained that he could not prevail upon the parish
officers of Aldine, to give him relief in his extreme necessity.
Four *immense, had been sent to those authorities, it appeared,
before the beadle, Kinnersley, attended to satisfy the Lord Mayor,
as to the treatment of the applicant.
The labourer bald that he was unable to obtain work, that he had
four young children who had been waiting for assistance for six
days in a perishing condition.
Mr. Mohler (to the beadle)—Why did you not appear before ?
The Beadle.—Why, I've had such a desperate bad cold, and
it's not to be expected that one can always come out this weather.
It's unreasonable to expect it Besides, I have business to attend
to, and I can't always be leaving it to attend to these here sum-
monses.

Mr. Hobler.—But I suppose your overseers, whose duty It is to
attend, have not ail got colds ; and if they have, are all-those poor
creatures to perish with cold in their empty stomachs, because yes
well-clothed dignitaries are too delicate to venture out In the wea-
ther, from which these poor naked wretched wretches are dying?
If the Lord Mayer's summonses are not attended to, we shall see
whether his warrants will be regarded.
The Beadle.—But I eyed them relief.
Mr. Hobier.—Man of humanity, what relief did you give them?
The applicant declared that the beadle six days ago gave him at
the rate of sixpence per mouth, for himself and his wretched
family.
Mr. Hobler.—And what is the smallest quantity of coals Toucan
do with, this weather?

Applicant.—A peck of coals each day, costs fourpence, and
makes a miserable ere, which will hardly keep life in us.
The Beadle.—But why did you net apply to the board?
Applicant.—We can get no relief from the board. When I did
apply before, they only offered me three shillings a week for the
le of myself and family--d: of us in all.

Loso Maros condemned the conduct of the pariah oaken,
and directed that immediate and more effectual relief should be
given to the pauper and his family.
Th. Beadle—My Lord we have this year more poor than ever
we hid before. It is impossible for us to get in the taxes. We
shall be forced to try to borrow motley ; but as things are going
worse, I doa't know who will lend it us.

The complaints of pauperism in the City are of late become
locoman.

driver, but the horse, although without the slightest vice, was very
unruly. He (defendant) had driven the horse 40 miles into the
country, without the slightest accident occurring. P
Sir P. Loan.—l wish you would drive it forty miles again
into the country, and not bring him back to endanger the lives of

The person who sold Mr. Lowe the horse corroborated that indt.

entirely without vice. There was one thing be submitted that was
