GULLPHALL.
Mr. Andrew Patience charged Mr. liansaby Moore with having
battered and bruised his head wadi is was not fit to be seen. ,The
bead, certainly, was in a very unsightly condition—resembling an
unripe, rough-coated, dark-green pumpkin, more than any thing
else; and what was still more strange, the owner declared that it
had been " knocked about in that fashion for nothing in the world
but life I" . •
" For Sege !" said Mr. Alderman ANSLoY, with no little surprise.
Yes, indeed, your Worship," replied the verd-antique visaged
Mt. Andrew' Patience ; and then he went into a rather tedious
detail of the manner bow it came about—tram which 'detail we
gathered that it was not love, but that green-eyed monster Jealousy,
which bad brought him to this dark-green and very preposterous
pass. Love was undoubtedly a sort of a police's criminis in the
affair, but it was the green eyed monster above-mentioned that did
all the mischief. The circumstances were thus t

Seven years ago, the defendant, Mr. Barnsby Moore, an operative
baker, riling twenty-three years old, became enamoured of one Miss
Alithea Mumford, whore sire sells cabbages, and other esculent
vegetables, in some devious court beside Fleet-market; and there
the fleeting boors flew by, unmarked by Mr. Moore—for he was
born " ayoot the Tweed," and could coolly endure a seven, or even
a fourteen years' courtship, if prudence forbad its earlier consum-
mation. But Mr. Moore had more patience than Miss Alithea
Mumford. She thought the tender passion was net tough enough
to bear stretching out to such a length, and began to fear it might
snap asunder, some day or other, never to re-unite. So she pru-
dently resolved to have two strings to her bow—or, which is much
the same, two beaus to ber string ; and without more ado, she
appointed Mr. Andrew Patience to the second post. Mr. Andrew
Patience la a juvenile butcher ; and notwithstanding his name is
Patience, he soon made it manifest that he had no patience in his
temperament. In fact, I•e was so impatientso incessant in his
attentions to Mils Alithea, and so urgent for a consummation of
their courtship, that the matter could no longer be kept secret from
the cool and calculating Mr. Moore ; and he, suddenly laying aside
his coolness, and not calculating the consequences of so doing, was
tempted to waylay Mr. Andrew Patience, and batter and bruise
hint, as already described.
Mr. Moore had no defence to make before the Magistrate; and
therefore, as a matter of couree, he was ordered to end sureties to
answer the complaint of Mr. Patience at the Quarter &edam.
