Mother Jona,' portly looking dame, some years since, imported
from the heart of North Wales to the interior of the Metropolis,
where she carries on the pecan-Salon of fortune-telling, was brought
before the Magistrates of this Office yesterday, to cuswer the com-
plaint of Mrs. Sarah Combs.
From the statement of the complainant, it appears that Mrs.
Kirby halting 30111 C doubts as to the conjugal fidelity of bre b.sband,
sought the professional assisuuee of the defendant, to ascertain how
far she was right in brommjectures. Mrs. Jones assured her that
her ideas of her rib's frailty were but too true, and.that the com-
plainant was the person who robbed her of the affections of her
liege lord and master. Inflamed with this intelligence, Mrs. Kitby,
assisted by the defendant and several other women, went to the
complainant's house, and abused and threatened her, wail her life
was not worth a pin's point. She, however, took no notice of the
circumstance theta. satisfied that there must have been some tida-
-1 take in the matter, as she protested she never saw the man whose
affection she was supposed to have seduced. Every day since,
however, she had been troubled in the same way. and at teat the
defendant, on the preceding Tuesday, took up a pair of tongs, and
threatened bee life, for seducing, as she said. the " honest woman's
husband." Finding there was no chance of escape from the cruelty
of this " petty warfare." she determined to seek the protecting' of
the illagistrates, and bind the defendant over to keep the peace,—
Mrs. Jones appeared quite dupl.:alien, and did not make any defence.
The MAGIb ordered her to be locked up for want of bail.

wick Theatre, now erecting iu the Whitechapel road, for violating

nients at the Etiblith Opera House. There were also singing

Ale. Aootrnes, who appeared for the defendants, Slid, that
wkh respect to the singing and music, they were provided with a
license from his Majesty's Serjeant Trumpeter, which gave petunia.
non to persons to whom it was granted to blew trumpets and use
music and musical instruments. As to Mr. Witham* being sum.
sunned as a proprietor of a theatre, nerdy because be attended as a
performer, was must absurd. Kean, Liston, Wallach, or any other
performer, might just as well be considered one of the proprietors
of the l'atent Theatres. The license of the King's Trumpeter was
then produced ; It was signed by Mr. Farqubarsou—sealed with the
official seal, and surmounted with the Royal Arms.
