Culliford, and confirmed iu part by the watc
who, on coming up, found the Ladies nearly 'faint-
ing. Walden had made his escape into his own house,
from whence he was called, and taken to the watch-
house.—The basket-maker, in his defence, attempted
to turn the tables on then ir Ladies, b attack on
their characters. He saie bad got oatner-stall in
Hosier-lane dining the Fair; that he was returning
home with his oyster-tub, at half-past twelve o'clock,
when he found the two Ladies on his staircase, and
a man with them! that the man ran down .the court,
and on 'his desiring the Ladies to go away, they
abused him, and Mrs. Culliford in particular called
him a bl--s,y rogue, and said she would knock his eye
out!—Poor Mrs. Culliford was so shocked, and her
feelings so overpowered, by this unlooked-for accu-
sation, that she went into hysterics,. and was obliged to
be borne out into the open air by the
ed
Marshalman in
attendance. The basket-maker, however, persist
in his story ; and went on to say, that on his offering
resistance, two other of their men came up and
knocked him down! His brother was with him at
the time, and knew the same thing.—Luke Walden.
the brother, was then called ; but his evidence, on a
strict cross-examination, tended to confirm the testi-
mony of the Ladies. He saw no man with them ;
and, by his own confession, the Ladies were at the
entrance of the court, the prisoner's house being at the
upper end. The Ladies were severally sworn to the
truth of their depositions, and declared they had never
used the language attributed to them in the course of
' their lives!— the basket-maker was ordered to find bail.
Richard Frankson and Robert etephens, j Gas
men coopers; Charks Ford, a labourer at the Gas-
light Works; Richard Rose, a printer; and two or
three other gentry of that sort, having suffered a
night's imprisonment in the Compter, were pemitted
Ito expiate their frolics, occasioned by having been at
Ilhe Fair, by satisfying the Officers of the night for
the trouble they had occasioned, and were discharged.

Yesterday morning, several men were at work re-
pairing a Gentleman's house in York-street, Mary-la-
Bonne, when one of them, named George Stockdale,
a carpenter, SO years of age, was sent to the landing
place at the top of the house, to repair one of the
doors: he got on a ladder, and laid hold of a piece of I
wood against the wall, which gave way, in conse-
quence of not being nailed firm, and he was precipi-
tated, head-foremost, to the pavement of the hall.
Several men went to his assistance, who found din
with his skull shockingly fractured, and his bod;
dreadfully injured. They carried him to the Middle-
sex Hospital, but on his arrival he was quite dead.

asked the girl, " Where's my mother, Nancy?"
which she replied, " She is just gone a walk." H_
