MA It LBOROUG H STREET.
FOIIIIIN MARRIAG/M—Yesterday was the do appointed by Mr. ,
Winklield and Mr. Hitchcock for the Seal decision of this la. I
portant case, the particulars of which have appeared in our Paper.
In the course of the morning Mr. Grist entered the office and
gave into. Mr. Dirsit's hands the Act of l'arliament, which was
brought forward by Lord Holland in July, 1823, entitled " An Act
to render Foreign Marriages valid." Mr. Grist stated that he
had not been aware of such an Act until a Gentleman in the office
had informed him of the circumstance, and he considered, from the
wording of the Act, that it wu totally free from every objection
which the defendant's party could urge, as the Act went to render
valid retrospectively as weU as for the future, all marriages on the
Continent, either in the army or navy, provided they were per-
formed by a Clergyman of the Established Church.
Mr. Dr en, ou reading the Act, observed, that Consuls were left
out by the term factors; and British factories in a foreign coun-
try were stated to possess the same privileges as aq Ambassador's
house; and if the house of a Consul was considered as a factory, it
went to overthrow all objections.
Jun, however, at the close of the office, none of the parties Making
their appearance, Mr. Dyer sent over to Mr. Winkbeld, who
inaptly attended; when Mr. Winklield stated that there had been
a consultation of the different parties at his house, and were then
there; when an arrangement was likely to take place, by Mr. Vedas
agreeing to give Mrs. Podia a sum of money (we believe about SOL
or VOL) but the question as to whether the marriage was valid or
not was nut argued; although he was not inclined to give up one
tittle of the validity.
Mr. Drift replied, that Lord Holland's Act, and which Mr.G.-ist
had brought with him, set aside all doubts upon the subject.
IV Hemmen, an Irish labourer, was charged with having com-
mitted a riot, and with having assaulted a Mrs. Lamb, at her own
house in Henry-street, Hampstead-road. Mr. Tkessiger and Mr.
Drawn, a solicitor, appeared for the complainant. Mr. Theesiger
said that the complainant occupied a house in Henry-street, Hamp-
stead, she was a widow and had resided there fur above 20 years.--
She had let out the lower part of her house to a man named Keifer,
who carried on the business of a coal-deakr. This person wished
to obtain possession of the house, and be had insulted and annoyed
Mrs. Lamb because she refused to give it up. She, however, gave
Keffer notice to quit, and put in a distress on his goods at Christmas
last. On Wednesday Keifer having hired about seven or eight fel.
lows of the lowest description, at a shilling a head, went to Mrs.
Lamb's house, where they forcibly obtained an entrance, and the
amen, under Keffer 's directions, threw the goods belonging to the
poor weasels into the street from the windows—china, glasses, and
mahogany tables and chairs were all destroyed. They then nailed
down the windows, and fastened Mrs. Lamb in her room, where
she remained all night without a single article of furniture being
left for her use. Mr. Keen, a baker, residing in Henry-street,deposed that on Wednesday evening he beard the cries of
" Murder I" and on going into the. street, he saw the prisoner
throwing the goods out of the window. at Mrs. Lamb's horse.
He endeavoured to enter the place after a mahogany table had been
thrown out of the window, but Keifer and his men said that none
of Mrs. Lamb's friends should enter the house that night.
Miss Lamb stated, that when the men entered the room, ski
ran out to procure assistance, and on her return she was pushed
down stairs by Keffer, who 'truck her, and his sister in law also
assaulted her. Her mother was nailed in the room all night, and she
(witness) was compelled to remain in the street all night. Hannan,
in his defence, said, he was hired by a nun to do half an hour's
work for a shilling, but he said that the goods were taken down
very carefully, and were not thrown out-of the window.
Ho was ordered to Sad bail, and warrants were Issued for the
apprehension of the other men..
