Bishapsgate. • :Kinnersley, their beadle, attended, in a grand gold.
laced coat, to 'Armee their wrings complaints.
The Loan bition.--I wish, Kinnessley, you would put on a
little humane behaviour wkb that nue coat of yours. The entire
time of a Magistrate will be requisite to hear the complaints of the
poor against your parish alone.
The Beadle—. Complain, my Lord ; they're always complaining,
though sir treats 'em more humanely than any body. They tv a sad
set reeve get before you, my Lord ; but lets hear 'em.
A cadaverous looking wretch, who appeared scarcely capable of
supporting a tottering frame, said that he bad fallen down in the
streets from exhaustion and Mess, and was taken to the workhouse,
but was turned owt.
The Beadle—..Ezhatistlen and illness! piffling and drunkenness!
He a drunkard, my Lord. He fell down dead drunk in the
sweets, and a butcher brought him on his back to the workhorse.
We discourage drunkenness, my Lord.
The pauper solemnly declared it was Moms.
The Loss MAIM said his present condition let no doubt of his
being a proper object, and he ordered him to be renewed.

The beadle.—She's a bad one, my Lord. She exercises the black
art. She's a fortuneteller. She tells all the young girls of the parish
their fortunes, and that brings burtbens on us. Sbe gets plenty of
money, and she should have told her own fortune better than to
come to us.

The sybil denied that she had any money, and declared that she
was now unable to read the will of the fates.

The Lose AUTOS ordered ber to be relieved.

Another old woman declared she was famishing, sad that she
was refused relief by Mr. Ithuserdey, who wanted to starve all the

Irestadayalingret DM, duryoung girl in custody upon a charge
of attempting to set Are to the house of Mr. White, a bookseller, in
High Holborn. was brought before Mr. Direst, the Magistrate, for
Anal examination. _ _ _ _ _ _

We before stated the circumstances of suspicion against the pri-
saner, and. that the ere was fortunately discovered by the sudden
waking, at two o'clock in the morning, of Mr. Lazarus, who oc-
cupies a part of Mr. White's house, and with whom the prisoner 1
lived servant. The circumstances of suspicion already mentioned
weft yesterday Strengthened by the production of mescal articles of
property, such as sheets, shirts, Ste. belonging to Mr. Weans,
which, since the former rumination, he discovered the prisoner
bad robbed Mm of and pawned. Mr. bitterns also produced se.
vocal anonymous letters which Mr. White and himself had resolved
by the twopenny-pat, dueatenhig revenge if they should proceed
against the prisoner.
She was ultimate
committed for the robbery; and the Math.
trate left it to Mr. White, Mr. Luzern', or the Insurance Com-
pany, to indict !)ter if they thought it on the charge of arson.
A fashionable biking young man, who gave his name Richard
Porker, was brought to the *See in custody of Read, the Aker,
who apprehended him under the following circumstances:
It appeared that of late a vast number of jewellers and silver-
'smiths, all over town, have been defrauded of large quantities of
plate, Ste. and amongst others Mr: Turner, of Bond-street. Some
days ago the prisoner cam* to Mr. Turner's shop, calling himself
Captain Montgomery, and ordered s quantity of plate to be sent to
the house of Mr. Buck, a Gendemap residing in Seymour-street.—
Mr. Turner knowing Mr. Buck u a customer, did not hesitate to
send the plate and have it left; but it afterwards turned out that
Mr. Buck and his family were out of town. and that the prisoner
called there soon after the plate was left, and took it away ; having
succeeded in his first .attempt he tried e snood at Mr. Turner's
shop, and ordered more plate for Mr. Butt, but the former trick
having been discovered, he was taken into custody by Read on his
calling again at Mr. Buck's. On searching hie minutely the officer
found stitched in the inside of his coat collar a member of pawn-
brokers' duplicates for plate, jewellery, St& to an immune amount,
and amongst them the duplicate for the plate of Mr. Turner.
The prisoner was remanded.
Samna& Case —A young woman, named Aram Stuckey, was
brought before the Magistrate under ie following curious circum-
stances : —The prisoner lived with a post-boy of the, name of
Turner, in Avery-row, Brook-street. Their goods were distrained
for arrears of rent, and as they were unable to meet the demand,
&h. broker was desired to take an Inventory of the goods previous
to their being sold by auction. Oa examining a box, be found a
coffin, in which were the remains of an infant, carefully wrapped
up in flannel. It was then in a shu:king state of deromposkion,
no flesh remaining on the bones, except a little on the skull. It was
therefore impossible to ascertain whether the child bad been mur-
dered. The prisoner appeared dreadfully agitated upon this dis-
covery being made. She acknowledged she was the mother of the
child, but said she was married, and her name was Turner. She,
however, now confessed to Mr. Dyer. the Magistrate, that she was
east married, sod that her name was Stuckey. She declared that
the child died shortly after it was born.
Valentine, one of the ulcers, raid, that when the prisoner was
spprehended, a female attended, who said she was present when the
child was born, which was a year and ten months ago. It was
born alive, but died ten minutes afterwards. She also said she
washed it after it was dead.
Mr. Dram asked the prisoner why she did not bury the body
instead of keeping it twenty-two months in her box 7—She said
she put it off front date to tine because she had t.o money to pay
the expences.

who attended the prisoner, but he had a very imperfect recolisettoa
of the circumsamm, sad Was unable to state whether the child w..•

buried for a few shillings.
Mr. Delta said, It was a most dngvlar circemstance, and cue
that ought to be duly investigated. He therefore remanded the
prisoner until Saturday.
An inquest on the remains of the child was held last Web; before

lIATTON.OARDEN.

Yesterday, Mr. Sergeant Situ*, in his judicial capacity,- was
called to decide a "notion which has already occupied the menden
of the higher tribulaab.
Serjeant Green, a oneoyed veteran, who, it Rents, has " done
the state some se;viee" in the American war, and has now retired
on a pension frees the Chelsea funds, hi lien of his optic, came
before the worthy, Magistrate to request that Mrs. Green might be
debarred from drawing In his name, as he had parted (torn her
by mutual consent, sod a deed of separation, d menu tt Agra, had
been duly emitted between theta, in virtue of which deed the
Lady was entitled to receive the sum of Is. per week; but not
content with that allowance, whichshe considered only in the light
of " gin.money," she had en endeavouring to raise various scan
onhb pension, the injustice of which was too manifest to require
any elucidation.
Mrs. Green, who with great difficulty' bad hitherto itept *or
tongue is subiretion, now bent forth with a most powerful spot.
trophe. My Lord," said she, " don't you believe one word thit •
blind villain is telling you • be is the greatest rogee uuban&ed, but
I'll see him strung op at the Quid Bailey yet • I'll engage when I see
the Duke of York, and the Gentlemen at Chelsea, the d-1 a pin-
sion he'll have, fur I'll expose him to them all ; I remember when
he used to stand stony at the Commissary Stores in Dublin, that be
used to let the rebels steal out every thing they liked, and though be
wore a red coat, and took the King's money, he was as big a retie(
as the rest; and sure enough, %was I was the fool ever to marry
such a one as hitn, seeing the edication and bringing up that I bad
along with all tile fine lords and ladies at the Unsling, Convent,
and wee, Only for my misfortunes, I might be made a nun of lung
enough ago."
_ _

The Serjeant here interrupted the oration, by reminding h:s
spouse that sbe did not ezplain what this misfortune was, namely,
that she had violated the sanctity of the Ursaline habit during her
noviciate, and he hinted; in very plain tentwohat she had ever sinct
been increasing the population of the country, and it was for some
peccadilloes of this description that he had been induced to separate
ham her on the present occasion.
Mrs. Green... Now, I leave it to airy ene breathing, if a dirty
shilling a week is enough to keep a decent woman, and her three
children.

The Silicas' protested that the children were nest his, fp far
front that, she had kicked him out of bed the very night they were
caarriest.

Mrs. Green mid, that be deserved no better treatment, and if he
did not allow her something more, As would go to the Duke of
York, and be would settle it Ulm a Gentlemen.

Mr. Stria= Sumo, as the question properly belonged to a so-
paint Court, said he should not interfere, and the parties withdrew.

Two feßows, Miss and Manlier, " running dustmen," were
charged with a robbery in the Branswkk Hotel, Hanover-square.
The prisoners obtained access ander a pretence of sweeping the
kitchen lot, and in the absence of the eerrants, they entered the
laundry and :tole two bundles of wearing apparel; and in the ludg.
fags of Miles was found an apron, one of the stolen articles.—
Remanded.

Maly Mete was charged with assaulting and robbing a young
woman named Bristow, io St. James's Park.
The proaccatrix was standing near Buckingham House, hearing
the band play, when the prisoner snatched the ribbons Irons her
bonnet, and then ran away. Shortly after she met the prisoner,
and en asking her for the ribbons, she struck het several violent
blows.—. Fully committed.
The prisoner, on hearing the decision, suddenly Sew upon the
promoutriz, and gave her two black eyes in the Justice Boom.

A Masser= carpenter, named lrailkain, was charged with ma-
&toady cutting George Wilson, a coal porter.
The parties lodge in the same house ; Wilson has frequently in-
terfered when Fulham beat his wife, and she as often new to his
protection. A day or two ago he told his wife to go to her coal
porter, whereupon Wilson desired him to desist from using his
same, or he would repent it. About ten minutes afterwards Fri-
lls= approached Wilson, and with a small hatchet, which he had
woes led under his coat, made a blow at Wilson, and inflicted a
wound under the left ear. He wits about to repeat the blow whew
the hatchet was taken from him. _ _ .

The oertlAcace of tho surgeon stated that the wound was dagger-,
oua, and that if the blow bad taken effect a quarter of =lock:
lower, it would have severed the carotid artery.

Palmyra. remanded for a further *lamination.
UNION HALL

A man named William North, a farrier, in the employsteot of
Messrs. Truman and Hazbury, was charged with violently assault-
ing a Gentleman named Stanley. It appeared that Mr. Stanley
and his two dater. were returning home on Saturday night along
Blackfriarmbridge, and one of the Ladies being a little In advance,
was seised round the waist by the prisoner, who treated her in a
,most indelicate manner. Me. Small; expressed his indignation at
such behaviour, and informed North that the Lady he had insuked
was his sister. North, however, instead of expressing the slightest
contrition for what he bad done, became excessively insolent, and
struck Mr. Stanley a desperate blew on the left eye, which closed
up that organ, and it was much swollen.
North, in his defense, said be was desirous of merely obtaining a
kiss, and denied having treated the Lady in the manner described.
Mr. Stanley offered to withdraw the charge upon his paying a
few pounds to some charity ; but he treated tbe matter most con-
temptuously, and he was therefore ordered to And bail for his ap-
pearance at ths Sessions.

There is no foundation for the statement that Sir H.
Tames would shortly retire from his official situation as Military
Secretary to his &pi Highness the Duke of Yoan.
Letters from St. Petersburgh speak of the enormous
expense of living in that capital. It far exceeds that of any Other
Court in Europe; and since the period of the approac►ing Cones-
don, the extordon almost exceeds belief.
