day, at Marlborough-street office. Sir Mari Wood was brought cp

bail. tie was fined in the early part of the investigation fur emirs
ing ; when about to be discharged, bail having been tendered, Mr.
Fitzpatrick handed to Sir Mark a notice when the :Sessions woad'
i commence. After ►aving read 14 addressing Mr. Richardson, he
said, " Who t►e devil expected to be brought ►ere upon suck
charge as this ?"
Mr. Drat—Realty, Sir Mark, you must restrain youreelf 'sat
1 language ►ere, for it is past bearing, and I cannot permit it; thew-
fore let me beg of you to be quiet.
Sir Mark Wood—l wish, Sir, you would leave off making your
d—d impertinent observations to me.
Mr. Drea—l will hne you again, Sir Mark, for that expression.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, record again Sir ►l. Wood fined sa, for awaarioa„
Sir Mark Wood, shaking his Het—l will have you well Cogged
for this.

Mr. Dasa—Sir George, I must beg of you to interpose; for if
Sir Mark um such language assist to me, I shall expect him to find
bail for the threats which he uses; for it is impossible that I can sit
here and put up with such gross conduct as that of Sir Mark's.
Sir G. PARRA/CT observed to Sir Mark Wood, that his behaviour
was out of all order, unbecoming of a Geotlernan and a illaglitrate
and, in case he should persevere in It, he certainly should hold him
to hail.

The observations of Sr G. Farrant appeared to have the desired
effect, coupled with his friends forcing him out of the office, pre-
vented any further reply. One of the bail then paid the 10s. for
the additional oaths, and thus ended one of the most extraordinary
scenes that we ever witnessed in a Police-office.
