MARLSOROC6II-STRUET.—Ye,terday the following curieus scene
happened at this office, Mr. Dees and Sir G. FARICANT bring
the Magistrates on the bench:
A gentleman named Theodore Constantine Jennings, who
during the last Session of Parliament was active engaged in pre-
ducing evidence, &c. before a Committee of the House of Com-
mons relative to charges against some of the conductors at the
Stationery-office, having some business in the office, was there
for a short period, when he moved over to Plank, the rrincipil
officer, who was writing, and addressing him, requested to know
whether he got his paper from the Stationery-office?
The officer, recollrcting gr. Jennings, replied, with a taugb,
" Why we have nothing to do with .Mr. Hume in this office."
(This Honourable Member v:as engaged in bringing the inquiry
before the House of Commons.)
Mr. Jennings, on receiving the answer, lost all temper, and
with every appearance of rage, asked why the officer dared to
make use of that Ilonourable Member's name.

Plank wished to know, before he answered any questions,
what authority Jennings had to question him, and why lie dared
to ask him any such leading question : if he wanted any isfor.
'nation, why did he not apply to the Magistrates ?
Sir G. Faftossir, hearing the dispute, asked Mr. Jennings
why he asked the question—what object could he have in view
in making any such inquiry ?
Mr. Jennings did not explain his motives, but said the officer
had no right to mention any Member's name, and requested rin,t
he might be reprimanded.
The Magistrates declined, observing the officer had not com-
mitted himself. They could not conceive what right Jennings bad
to put such a question.
Mr. Jennings's rage appeared somewhat increased, and he said
something about the impossibility of receiving justice from the
Magistrates, who, he said, were placed there to encourage cor-
ruption and villainy.
Upon this Mr. Ursa rose, and said, " Sir, how dare you make
use of such an assertion 2 If you dare repeat it, Lank instantly
commit you. We are not to be insulted by you."
Mr. Jennings said he was sorry he used such :.xpressions, and
muttered something about having received the same answer to
the same inquiry which he put to Plank, at Mary-la-bonne of-
fice; he informed Plank that he should hear front him. .
That officer, smiling, advised hint to compose himself.
Mr. Jennings was summoned by a hackney coachman for re-
fusing to pay him kis fare.
The coachman made out his case, and the defendant paid tbs
fare, amounting to Ss. and los. 6d. costs.
G. and W. Mitchell were remanded, charged with abstracting
£45 from a strong box, the property of Mr. Gould, printer, of
Wardour-street, to whom the former was errand-boy.
