UNION•HALL.

Yesterday, Samuel Dios, better known by the engnomen of Darrh
Sans, the Pugilist, was brought before the Sitting; Magistrates,
Swanar and Sowallow DAvb, Esqrs. for a second examination, C 1
the charge preferred against Aim the day before by Martin.
The Office was again thronged with scientific men in the ^ fistic
line," the friends of the parties. From Martin's appearance it would
seem that he was in a rapid consumption. Ile was assisted into
Office on crutches, and had that hectic Sulk on his cheeks which
denotes the last stage of a pulmonary complaint; his wife, no t':,!
other hand, was the picture of health. She tripped into the Offi:e,
and up to the Magistrates table, gayly dressed, with a profusion of
nodding plumes of feathers in her bonnet. Her husband was granted
the indulgence of a chair, on account of his very ill state of health.
Martin having repeated the particulars of the alleged dance
against Dutch Sam, which has already appeared, the farmer under-
went a rigid-cross.examination by Mr. Lee, the Attorney, and he
did not vary io the slightest degree from his original statement, but
firmly believed Dutch Sam had taken the at/. out of his desk, as
well as the coral necklace, which was traced to a pawnbroker's hi
the London Road, and subsequently ascertained to have been
pledged there by the prisoner.
George Lloyd, a waiter in Maftin's service, in reply to the Ma-
gistrate's questions, said, that Dutch Sam was on the must intimate
footing at his master's house, previous to the sudden and unexpected
depac cure of Mrs. Martin from home, and the missing of the money
and necklace from the desk. Dutch Sam used to be all over the
house; in fact, he bad the complete run of the house during his
master's illness, and was very attentive—very attentive indeed, said
the waiter," to my mistress."
It was here contended by Martin's solicitor that a prised facie
case of felony had been made out against Sam, while on the other
side it was strongly urged that there was no pretence for charging
the defendant with any offence, be having merely pledged the arti-
"tie, which he was charged with having stolen, at the request of Mrs.
Martin, who was now called In to prove that fact.
The complainant's wife baying been sworn, in answer to the
Magistrate, said, that she was at her husband's house in the Borough
on Friday last until the afternoon, at which time she admitted
having given Dutch Sam her coral necklace to pledge, in order to
pay her coach hire down to litigate.
Martin was about entering into a long account of his wife's In-
tripes, and infidelity to him since the commencement of his serious
illness, but was stopped short by the Magistrates, who observed,
that they had nothing to do with the question of his wife's smears.
The charge of felony was the offence which they now had before
them, and they could not listen to any extraneous matter. Math
was then asked whether he could trace the notes that had been stolen?
He replied that he was fearful he could not, on account of not hay-
Jag the numbers of them. After a great deal of recriminatory
matter passing between Martin and his spouse, in the course of
which the " Lady" appeared perfectly insensible to the situation in
which she then stood, the Magistrates observed, that the cbsrge
must be dismissed, and accordingly gave directions to discharge
the prisoner.

Catharine Gill was brought from St. Olave's watch• Louse as dis-
orderly. It scalp she was knocking at the door of the Admiral
Hood, Tooley-street, and refusing to stir on the watchman's order,

• -
was taken to the watch house. In ber defence, she said that It was
- - - -

only half.past eleven, and that she was merely endeavouring to
obtain a pint of porter for her husband's sapper. The watchman
I sneering at the name of a husband, a young sailor assured the Al-
derman they bad been once called in Church, and he meant to
marry her, though he knew how she had been living; but she
meant to steer another course when she was spliced, and after

assuring the Magistrate he meant to be true to his word, she st•iiii
discharged, and went away laughing...

REMARKABLEINSTANCE OF CABIN! AFFECTIOII.—A
beautiful little bitch, belonging to JOHN LAI4II, Esq.
Lanark, has discovered a remarkable attachment to a
pet lamb, about two months old, lately pre.ented to the
young Ladies. Their acquaintance has been only of a
few weeks standing. The other day, little Fanny was
missing ; and after anxious search was made in every
(limner, she was at length found in the park, fast locked
in the embraces cf her woolly companion. Sensible
that her friend cannot join with her in picking a bone,
or licking a soup plate, she has been repeatedly seen
carrying straw to her, in order to add trs her comfort.
This little animal was never known to bite. She has a
most sympathetic ear for mink, and discovers a sen-
sation that thrills her whole frame for sounds of a plaia-
tive tone.

Friday, the 11th instant, at Conisill, near Dumfries, in the Fedi
year of his age, George Johnston, &q. of Gimbal.
