BOW-STREET.

Yesterday a Gentleman, the proprietor of a respectable Academy
In the environs of London, Attended by his Solicitor, appeared be-
fore Mr. HALLS, to apply for a warrant of felony against his wife.
The applicant stated that he had been married for many years, but
was compelled in the year 1119 to separate from his wife, in conse-
quence of her dissolute habits. About two years after their separa-
tion she obtained admission to his 'house during his absence, and
contrived to possess herself of property to the amount of .f6OO, with
which she absconded into the country. He applied at that time
for a warrant, but was told that a wife could not commit an act
of felony by taking any thing belonging to her husband, and that
in fact he bad no legal remedy in any shape. A few days ago she
came again, and took property away to a considerable amount ;
and besides this she was in the habit of calling at his establishment
in a state of intoxication, and making a disturbance, and thus bring-
ing disgrace and probably ruin upon him in his profession.
Mr. HALL* said it was indeed a very bard case, but unfortu-
nately it was one of those hardships fur which there was no remedy.
The applicant said, that amongst the articles taken by his wi(e on
the last occasion, were several belonging to a gentleman who occu-
pied apartments in his house.
Mr. Mato said, that if this Gentleman would come forward and
woke an affidavit. that be had lost property, and that it had been
feloniously stolen, a warrant would be granted.—The conversation
ended here.

Man of the name classifies'. Ms wife, and two children. ap

St. biartin's-iothe-Fields, for refusing to grant them reUef or to
pass them to their parish, situate two hundred miles distant, hi the
north of England.
Mr. Rail, the acting (Aker of the above-named parish, said that
the reason he had refused to grant them relief was, that they were
chargeable to the parish of &. Clement Danes. Boulton had kept
a shop there for some months ; be bad failed in business, and when
he applied to the parish-officers for relict, and removal to his own
parish, they gave him Is. 6d. and sent him away, and &whoa and
family took lodgings at the White Hart, White Hart-yard, Drury.
lane. This was evidently done to get rid of the expense of re.
moval, and to fix it upon another parish, and fur that reason the
parish-oMeen of St. Martin's refused to grant them relief.
Mr. Hain said that the conduct of the parish officers of St. Cle-
ment's was evidently illegal, and that Boulton's family were charge.

this money for the sole purpose of encumbering another parish with
their casual poor.
Mr. Slumlord, one of the overseers of St. Clement's, was sent
