...Sir R. Rakerm-Whit situation is the trilideon in
Furseman--He is a writer to a law stationer, and
*out 16 years old.

Furseman—He is a lodger. He oeceples three rooms
in the house, and has a large family. He is a dealer in
feathery, and goes about the country collecting Them.
He was sorting some feathers %hen I went into the room.
Sir R. BAUR, the foreman, here submitted to the
Coroner and Jury. that ***had gone quite far enough
in the evidence to show that the poor woman had been
murdered ; the next question would be to know, if they
could bring the guilt home t.l the perpetrator, and he
thought that could be mote efficiently done in other
hands than the present. •The case was at present in the
hands of a very' clever Magistrate, assisted by an officer
at well- known enterprise, and he had no doubt that all
would be done by them to bring the murderer to con•
-dign punishment. .At present there was only a suspi-
cion attached to one party.
The Coroner acquiesced in the opinion of Sir Robert,
as also did the test of the Jurors; and-he thought that
[n the present state of the business, the less that was said

the better.
Sr Robert Baker said, if there was any difference in
the opinion of the Jury, the room had better be cleared
of strangers, is order that the Jury might discuss the

question.
Mr. Courtney replied, that his opinion was precisely
-the same as that of Sir Robert Baker, and he had no
doubt but the opinions of all the Gentlemen were so.
The Jury here expressed themselves quite satisfied,
and returned a verdict of Wilful Murder" against
some person or persons unknown.
The inquiry excited the most intense interest in the
neighbourhood, and the house was muds crowded
during the time the Jury were sitting.
The season for holding the inquest at such an early
boor was in consequence of its being hinted that the re-
latives and friend, of the deceased wished to bury the
body immediately.

MA/4EON HOUSE.
Yesterday Mr. Gilbert, proprietor of the Blossoms Inn, Law-
rence.lane, was summoned before the Loan MAYOR to answer a
complaint preferred against him by Mr. Salomons, of the Old
'Change, for demanding two pence for booking a parcel. Mr. G.
did to attend, but sent the ranee who delivered the parcel.
The Loan MATO& said, that in order to put a stop to this fre-
quent attempt to obtain this additional charge on parcels, directed
that a second summons should be served upon Mr. Gilbert to at-
tend. and ordered that the way-bill, which was produced by the
porter, should be detained till the matter was fully investigated.
The proprietor of the Haif Moon inn was charged by John
es, of Chain-gate, in-the Borough, with having overcharged him
the cartiage of eight barrel+ of oysters to Wakefield.
s "Mr. Jones said, that the charge made by the defendant was most
paorbitant; that he demanded and received 41.11 d. per barrel,
whoa the regulated charge Was only 21. Std.
The Loin Mayos said, that it was too bad that the Public should
be subject so such extortions, when there was an Act of Parliament
for the purpose of preventing those impositions. He asked Mr.
Jones what was the value of each barrel?--Mr. J. Five Shillings.
The LORD MAYOR addressed the defendant, and said that chose
attempts to impose upon the public were generally practised at-ebb
season of the year with success. His Lordship- then referred IS
regulations of the York Sessions, where the carriage for alma'
articles, to any place within the West Riding of Yorkshire, is re.
sedated; and it appeared that the charge for any article not weigh-
ing More than one stone was only ls. 10d. to Northallerton, and
.. -
Wakefield was 40 miles nearer to London.
kir-Jones said that a barrel of oysters oaly weighed Inibe.
The defendant said that he was not aware of such regulations ;
that be agreed to receive 4s. sci. and thought ft very, hard that a
man could not make such an agreement, With subject to a
penalty.
The Lose MAYOR said that there was an Act of. Parliament to
regulate those fares, and he felt it his duty to floe the defendant in
the penalty of 51.
GUILDHAT.L. •
Matrimonial miseries again formed the leading feature in the
business at this Office yesterday, as indeed they do every day—not
at this Office alone, but at eves, other Office in the Metropolis.
The parties in the present instance were a Mr. Benjamin George
and his wife Jane. Mr. George is a very sedate young Gentleman
--apparently not more than three and twenty, and at presort the
respected clerk of a highly respectable Solicitor in the City. Mrs.
George il a delicate little person, not more than nineteen or twenty.
Itir. George began his complaint by stating that Mrs. George
had neglected her domestic duties, and had formed au acquaintance
of which he disapproved.
" These are matters," said Mr. Alderman BROWN, "of which I
cannot take cognizance. Confine yourself, U you. please, so sea
tutees a Magistrate can notice."
Thus admonished, Mr. George proceeded to state his case more
particularly, by which means we gathered that be and Mrs. George
lame bees married only t 6 months; that she has formed an se-
qvainqnce with a Woman of improper character; that she persists
in vigling that person, in spite of his repeated remonstrances; that
they have lived very unhappily in consequence; that Mrs. G. has
neglected their infant child so much that its health is in a very pre.
airbus state; that she absented tinsel( from home altogether on
Chdetenas day, and had not been near him since until last Wednesday
zwiraintwhen she presented herself at his eMployers'office." I did not
with tessee her:' continued Me. George, " and tit rerore the may
rant requested her to go away; to which she replied that she weedid
ban my brains out with her pattens ! I therefore thought it
necessary to seek for protection by applying to a constable,
cod sit followed me all the way to his house, telling the that she
would poison me, or make away with me in some way or other."—
In conclusion, he declared that he would not be in a ea= alone
with her upon any account ;-Tar he verily believed, if he were alone
with ber,"she would do him some bodily injury, though be never
gate her the slightest occasion for her bad conduct toward him.
Mr. Georges employer, the highly respectable solicitor above-
mentioned, attended, and spoke of him as a mild tempered and
most praiseworthy yofing man.
Another friend of his, a very respectable looking portly Gentle-
man, in spectacles, addressing the bench, said, "'lire fact is, Sir,
she has an itch for readies novels and romances. She devours three
or four volumes a day; and at night she is the heroine of every one
of them in turn—so that she cannot condescend to the common-
place domestic duties of a wife. Why, Sir, six shillings and seven-
peace was her bill at the circulating libraty for only one week's
reading!" •
Mrs. George replied that she read nothing but what her husband
bad recommended to her; that he decoyed her away from her father's
house, and married her against her father's approval, and, in conse-
quence, her father was very much exasperated against them, and
would give them nothing but some sixty or seventy pounds worth of
furniture; that his mother was always nuking mischief between
thim ; that she Lady she visited was not an improper chaimeter, but j
a very respectable Lady, who had lbdged in their house{ that so far
front her having dean ted her home, he locked her out of it whilst she
was visiting that Lady on Christmas-day by his express permission ;
and that he had since not only deprived her of her infant, only six
months old, but positively refused either to let her return to him or
to contribute anything towards her subsistence.
The ALDRILMAN said he was afraid there was some bad adviser
between them; but nothing bad transpired of which he coUld take
cognizance, and therefore the Lady was' at liberty to depart; at the
same time, he would recommend het-sot to annoy her husband in
his business, but to apply to the officers of the parish in which they
reside for relief, and they would see that her husband made her a
necessary allowance. ,
BOW-STREET. ,
Last night, William Bedford, a dog fancier, and one of a mats(
the same profession who resort to a public-house in Behan-sue"
Long-acre, was charged with assaulting and fracturing the leg of a
young man, named Joseph Lawrence.
It appeared that the prisoner and another man were fighting thole
dogs in one of the narrow passages leading from Portugal-street toy
Clare-market, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. After thit
dog fight, a dispute arose between the prisoner and the young mg
to whontthe accident has happened, which ended in a pugilistic coo-
teste They fought [or a abort time, and then closed, when the
unser, by a dexterous manoeuvre of his leg. contrived to ilia
:Interns* from off the ground, and then fell upon him with all
weight. The consequence was, that the unfortunate young man ha
his right legraireadfally fractured in them places. He was taken up
insposiblesand immediately conveyed to the Hospital upon a shutter.
The surgeon has declared that the limb must be amputated, and be
cannot as yet say whether the accident may not be attended by
a worse comequetice.
Under these circumstances Me. MISOIDOLL refused to admit the
primmer to bail, and he was committed to prison until the state of
the waiinded man is finally ascertained.
nothing transpired during the whole of yesterday and up to the
closing of the office last night, respecting the murder in Montague-

plate, beyond what iire'ptiblie has Aka4y !weft aware of thrall*

but every thing that occurs to forward that object is kept Tiro-
. foundly secret. Mr. Halls and Mr. Lett, the Magistrate, are in
constant communication, and from the known aetivity of the of-
ficers employed on the occasion, there is no doubt whatever but
that a very. short time will ;achieve the public anxiety, and billiethe
wretch to justice who has perpetrated the horrid deed.
