" Ha ;tiger est hunc he, Romune =veto."

The former depositions were then read over, and Mr. Mivsnutt.
proceeded to interrogate Mn. Kingston. !'ray, Madam, did Mr.
Kingston ever kick or strike you?

Bits. K.—Yes, Sir, be kicked me once, at the same time using
very improper language.
Mr. Harmer—Do you mean disugsting ?
1 Airs. K.—Yes, Sir.
The prisoner now requested the Bench to inquire of his wife,
whether it was her fixed resolution to proceed against him for the
assault, and receiving an answer from her in the affirmative, ex-
claimed, " Then you shall yet live with me, in spite of every one."
Ur. Harmer here observed, that the Commons would inter-
pose to prevem that, adding, You know, Sir, you took the per.
son, said to be your former wife, to the very hotel where this Lady
was residing, in order to introduce her—
" Stop, stop, Mr. Harmer; not so fast, if you please'' inter-
rupted Mr. Kingston, " I took her then, merely that Mrs. King-
ston might have an opportunity of ascertaining whether she was
the person who had obtained a sovereign from her under false
pretences?"
Mary Anne Clayton, the woman alluded to, now voluntarily
entered the Oflice, and approached in front of the Bench. Mr. K..
addressed her, desiring her to lift up her veil, which she did, and
Mrs. K. on seeing her, stewed great emotion, and was obliged to
be accommodated with a seat. Ou her recovery, she deposed, that
she had never, to her recollection, seen this female before. The
female in question is a tall, ungainly person, without any pretensions
to beauty, and having much the appearance oils servant of the lowest
Chß. A Air. Springford was then called by Mr. Kingston, and
asked, " &ri you have known me a long wade ; did you ever hear
that I was a married man ?" To which Mr. S. replied," You had
better not ask me any questioni." " Oh." ragined Mr. Kingston,
" what, you are a wolf in sheep's clothing the
Mr. Mnosettu. now interposed, and said that, under all the cir-
cumstances, he had made up his mind to hold the prisoner to bail
for the assault, himself in tool. and two sureties of 501. each, and to
receive twenty-four hours' notice of bail. This decision, it is sup-
posed, will give time fur farther enquiries to be made on the other
charge, as the prisoner, of courae, remains in custody till his bail be
forthcoming.
AI A RL BOROU G H- ST REET.

Yesterday morning, soon after the Magistrate had taken his seat,
a young woman, who is servant to a Mr. Knott, who keeps a tripe
arid trotter shop at the corner of Walker's Court and Berwick-
street, entered the office to complain of an attack that bad been
made upon her at two o'clock in the morning.
She said, that a man entered her room about two o'clock, armed
with a large knife, such as ber muter used for cutting up sheep's
heads, and his face was covered with a black mask. He threatened
to sacrifice her upon the spot if sbe made the least noise,or hesitated
' to inform him where her master's money was deposited. She jumped
out of bed, and struggled with the man, and endeavoured to wrest
the knife from bin,. He, however, cut her en the neck and arm,
and then made his escape.
Mr. Knott, her master, said, that on hearing the scuffle between
kis servant and the man, he hastened up to her room, but the man
had then escaped. lie added, that almost every portable article in
his house was packed up in one of the lower rooms, ready to be
taken, away.
Two men, who had been found at an early hour in the morning,
in Walker's•court, and much intoxicated, were then placed at the
bar, but the girl said, that in consequence of the man having a mask
on his face, sbe should not knew him again, and her terror was so
great that she could not state what description of clothes he had on.
