MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Saturday three persons of very fashionable appearance were
brought up In rowdy of Goddard and Scholefield, to be admitted
to bail on an indictment preferred against them for keeping a com-
mon gaming-house in the parish of St. Janses. Four persons pre-
seated themselves as bail, and were accepted, and hound in the sum
of SOL each for the appearance of the defendants.—Mr.Heatb then
requested the protection a the Magistrates against the violence of
one of the defendants, who had threatened his life.

The defendant declared that Mr. Heath's statement was false.

Sir G. FAIIIII•NT said, that perhaps Mr. Heath would be satisfied
if he entered into his own recognizance of SOL not to molest him.
Mr. Heath said he did cot consider his life sale, but hr ultimately
adopted.the Magistrates suggestion, and the defendants were dis-
charged.
Mr. Parry, the master of the farm-house at Islington belonging
to the parish of St. James, for the accommodation of its paupers,
attended before the Magistrate to answer a complaint made against
him the preceding day by two paupers, named Praocis Hales aod
Charles Iliilyer, who alleged that Mr. Parry had, without any
cause, expelled them front the farm-house, and had kept than.
'dillthere, in such a state of starvation; that they were obliged, in
order to meet the cravings of hunger, to take away the life of *De o(
the farm-house cats, and make a meal of it. .

In reply to this charge, Mr. Parry said, in deftest place, that the
conduct of these tar. paupers had been of the MOW riotous and vio-
lent description, and that he had been compelled to turn them nut
of the house. As fur the complaint of starvatim, Mr. Parry said
that it was entirely false, for that be could clearly prove that the
paupers of that establishment were always fed ia the best mangler,
and en the most wholesome food. Het. Mr. Pan y heeded to the
Magistrate a bill of fare of what was daily supplied to the in-
mates of the house, which consisted of good meats, soups, bread,
vegetables, &e. in as suilicient quantities as could be required.
—The veracity of this statement, and the tweeter's of the bill
of fare, were supported, by the mideato of several patipers.
These witnesses further stated, that the conduct of the two men
Hales and Hitlyer. was so desperate, that all the other paupers
entreated Mr. Parry not to let thesis come into the wards, as they
dreaded violence from them, and that on Thursday last, out dawn
wantonness anti mischief to have " a lark," as they called it, these
two men seized one of the bedsteads of the place and jumped epos
land tore it about until they smashed it in pieces.
Sir Grottos FALBA= asked Mr. Parry if there wan any troth to
the story these fellows told about the at ?
Mr. Parry said, that he understood they actually did, through
wanton wickedness, kill one of the cats In the place, but what they
did with it he knew not ; but certain it was that, unless from a
peculiar taste of their own, they had no necessity to eat it.
Hales and Hillyer, who were both present all this tintepeach took
a bone of the cat from his pocket, and held it up as an evidence of
how they had disposed of it; and persisted in declaring that banger
alone drove them to pick the bones so closely as they appeared.
One of the other paupers said, that he very fully believed Hales
and Hither did eat the cat, or some part of it, for that they sua.'
doubtedly ham skinned, and afterwards boiled it in a pipkin; but
if they did eat it, ther own fancy alone led them to do so.
Sir O. PARLAYS said, that it was clear there was not the slightest
ground for the complaint made by then fellows against Mr. Parry,
1 and that be was quite right in turning them out of the house ; but
this was not the only punishment to which they had subjected
themselves, as they should presently find.
The ?daisuraare then ordered one of the witnesses yrho saw the
two fellows break the bedstead to be sworn as to that fact; after
which he committed each of the cat-eaters to digest it by two
mouths' exercise on the treadmill, under the Act against wilful
injury to property.

At the last Assizes, a man earned Mows Rides
was prosecuted by the Bank for having in his post/snots,
at Lancaster, without lawfully accounting for that pos.
session, a counterfeit 51. Bank of England note. On
the trial it was stated by the constable who teeeived
the prisoner into custody, that he actually found the
note upon the man's person, and the Jury, with such
evidence before them, could .do no other than re.
torn a verdict of guilty. At the close of the Court, the
same day on which the trial had taken place, some
of the jurymen happening to meet at dinner, the
circumstances of the trial became the subject of (cover.
sation, and the alleged fact of the note being found on die
prisoner's person was mentioned. This was overheard by
the girl who waited at table,aod she straightway iaformed
the company that she herself was the identical person who
had found the note—not, indeed, upon the prisoner's
person, but under the grate of the room in which he
was sitting, and having so found it she had delivered
it into the bands of the constable, upon the strength d
whose evidence the Jury bad returned their verdict....
Upon finding this to be the case, the matter was ls
closed to Mr. Justice BATLEY, and the result has bees
the receipt of a free pardon for Whiteley, signet by the
King, and dated the 20th instant. The constable was
forthwith dismissed from his situation under the Lir
caster Corporation.—Prestois Pilot, Saturday.

Friday afternoon, a labourer employed at his Miss.
ty's new Palace, named John Anderland, met with a
most serious accident; be was ascending a ladder placed
against a scaffold, with a pail of water, when, on step.
ping off the ladder on to the scaffold, his foot slipped,
and he fell backwards a height of upwards of SO feet,
to the ground. He was immediately picked up in
state of insensibility, and being placed on a shutter, irst
conveyed by four men to the Westminster Hospital.

Saturday morning, about half-past seven o'clock's
a waterman was crossing the Thames from Billingsgate
to Bankside, discovered the body of a young man apps
rently about 18 years of age. He procured the assistane
of a fellow-waterman, and took the body and deposited
it in the first public house, there to await the Coroueii
Inquisition. In the pockets of the unfortunate youth
were found several letters, addressed to persons of the
first respectability; amongst which was one to Mr. Wm.
Bourne, Cheadle-hall, Lancashire. He was most basic*
ably attired. .

Last week, a lamentable accident happened at North.
