• One Mr. Virellirrota; a tailor, was broeght before * Rlenka
Bum, yesterday morning, charged with divers dliordetly debris;
and among-the rest with having threatened to exeielse his valour '.SS
on the person of Sir RICSAID Blame himself! A pretty ate&
derably bold sort of threat for a tni er ; tint then the %Bore gto
rally, as we have often had occasion to observe, are becfitning Writ
and mare pugnacious every day; and Mr. O'Halloran is a Ware
roaster tailor, and an Irishman to boot.
It appeared by the evidence, that about ten cfettitiCon the pre=
ceding night, the patrol on duty at this office streee'-abrnied by' a
loud knocking at the doer. " Who's there ?" they demanded.-;
" It's me—Mr. O'Halloran!" replied a small shrill voice without-;
" open the door this instant I" They opened the door, and there
stood thin identical Mr. O'Halloran. " What do you want r
Winded the patrol. " I want to see Sir Richard liirnie,"! replied
Mr. O'Halloran. " You can't see him to-night," said the parro
" But still see him! and, before I go, I'll give hint a jolly g
whacking!" cried the magnanimous Mr. Oliallorati. The team
desired him to go along about his business, or to bed if he liired It
better • but nothing would he do but stay there to seftndt Sir, Rich:
ard better;
; and at last they found it necessary to hand Me. (Mal:
loran over to the watch.
" Come forward, Sir," said Sir Rico-Lan Marna, when the OrK
nesses had told their story—" Come forward, Sir—l assure you I
am not muck afraid of you. Indeed I think if I were to begin, I
could whack, as you call it, half a dozen such as you !"
Mr. O'Halloran came forward to the table, blushing and sirn•
pain& and said, " I dare say you could, Sir, but—"
" But what have I done to deserve whacking?" said the Magic-
trate, interrupting him;—" I„don't recollect having ever seen you
before."
" Why the truth is, Sir Richard," replied Mr. O'Halloran, still
simpering and speaking under his breath," Why the truth is, I don't
know whether I said those wards or not;--foe I had been drinking
a little wine, and I suppose I was rather exhilarated—ht my head,
Sir Richard Birnie ; and I believe I'd get a notion—ineked I rather
think some one told me that Mr. David Latouche had been dining
with you, Sir Richard; and as I have had some words with Mr.
David Latonche, I suppose I might feel a little angry towards you,
Sir—being rather exhilarated as I"
" Well, Sir," said Sir Itienatto, cutting short his explanation, "
know nothing of Mr. David Latsucke or you either. But this I
will tell you, that, had you threatened to What* any other person,
I would certainly have held you to bail ; but, as your threat was
directed against me, you may go about your businese;—and let me
advise you not to get your head rather exhilarated again."
Mr. O'Halloran bowed, thanked his Worship, paid his fee, and
withdrew ; seemingly, very web pleased with the i.suc of the affair.
MA RLBOROUGILSTREET.
SALt or A C,IILD.—The parents of a little boy, named Henry
Gardiner, complained of Wm. Warn, a master chimney-sweeper,
for having ill-treated their boy. They stated, as it afterwards ap-
peared, without the slightest foundation, that the boy's body and
limbs were dreadfully lacerated, in consequence of being forced up
the flues of chimneys which were very small, and that he step: in
a damp cellar, and was nearly starved. The boy was not allowed
to give evidence on account of his total ignorance of everything con-
nected with the nature of an oath. The Magistrate observed, that
in future he would never sanction the apprenticeship of a boy to the
chimney-sweepers' trade, unless the boy was brat instructed in his
religious duty. The boy's person was, however, examined by an
officer, who reported that there were no marks of laceration visible.
Warn said he bad never used the boy ill; but the fact was, that the
father of the boy had been for weeks hawking the child about the
town, offering him for sale to every chimney-sweep he met ; he
first demanded £lO. for him, but that being much above the market
price of the day, he could not get it, and be at last came to £7, far
which he offered the boy to hlm (Warn), and after some bar-.
gaining, he agreed to take aft which sum he ;Wart,) paid hint for
the child; and now that he was worth more, they wanted to get
him back again. Mr. Delta, who seemed horror-struck at the ie-
cital of such unnatural barbarity, asked the father of the boy, who
was present, and is himself a master chimney-sweeper, residing in
Elliot-street, Bethnal-green, if he really had sold the child? - Gar.:
diner acknowledged that he had sold him for £6. but seeing now
that the boy was ill-treated, he wished to get him home again.
Dlr. Dv ER did not place any reliance au the father's statement,
and dismissed the complaint.
WQRSHIP-STRKR.T.

stated, that on the evening of the 22d utt. be, with another Con-
stable, saw two suspicious characters enter the prisoner's house in
Playhouse-yard, and fo,lowed them, when they saw seven muslin
dresses on the table. The prisoner nuniontii the men to be silent,
when Lock laid hold of one of them, asking what they had got?
but receiving no answer, he commenced handcOling him ; the
prisoner then offered him two sovereigns to let them go ; this here.
fused, when the prisoner and her son laid hold of him (Lock), and
offered him three sovereigns; but he took them to the Office, and
dry were convicted at the last Old Bailey Session. The prisoner
dolled the fact in tato, but was billy committed.
