M A RLBOTIOUGH-STREET.

Late on Saturday evening, a young man, dres,cd in a large ntili-
tary blue and scarlet cloak, military foraging cap, Ste. hastily emote.]
the Office, accompanied by a middle-aged woman of respectable
appearance, and made the following complaint :
" This woman," said the gentleman in the cloak, " is my wife,
and during my absence in the country she has removed all my goods
and clothes to another lodging, and I don't know w►ere to find
them. She went off on Wednesday from where we previensly re-
sided, and I knew net where to find her until I met her casually
iu the street."

The Wife—No inch thing, your Worship; what be says is not
tree. I have maintained lum these two years, ever sines we have
been married. Ile will not work, and lam determined to keep
him no longer.
Mr. CAmmer—(the Sitting Magistrate)Not work! Pray, what
are you?
Husband—Nothing in particular. After some hesitation, he
_ _
admitted

that he bad been brought up a lady's shoemaker.
Mr. Co:tater—A lady's shoemaker! why really I took you for a
ailitary officer, from your martial apparel.
Wife—Yes, your Worship, he is a shoemaker, but has *ever
done 21. worth of work since ►e lass been my husband. Be thinks
of nothing but walking Regent-street with a cigar in his mouth, and
in his military dress, whilst I am working hard at m) business to
support both. The week before last he kft me to go into the
country, and I then took what few things were remaining, for he
bad made away with an of any value, paid the rent, and went to
reside with my sister. lam determined to bee with him no longer.
Mr. CONANT inquired the reason of the husband's going out of
town. lie replied, it was to seek employment.
Mr. CONANT observed that his present attire was not nt to see%
employment in. Ins military appearance was sunicieut to frighten
one half of the shoemakers out of their shops.
The 'Wife said she had fully made op her mind not to live with
him. Her life was in danger, for he had heist a penknife to her
throat three times, and threatened to murder her.

The husband attempted to explain this in a very imperfect manner.
Tho wife was leaving, when the husband began to shed tears like
a great schoolboy, and muttered that it was probable (he Magis-
trate would shortly bear of his death.
Mr. CONANT said he hoped not ; he should much rather bear of
bls getting into honest employment.
The husband and wife shortly afterwards left the *dices at se-
parate doors.
