MA RLBOROUG H-STREET.

Dacia' a. Deets.—This was a proceeding: in which an elderly
husband sought to correct divers irregularities in his young wife, by
depositing her in the watch-house for a night, and then bringing her
before the Magistrate, to be dealt with according todaw.
Mrs. Sarah Deeley is a sprightly, black-eyed, little body, just
rising cine.and twenty. Her husband is a tall, melancholy, pow
sunage, last declining towards three score. Having concluded
a doleful exordium, he went on to state that, besides repeated
deserting. of her home, and pawninp of her own apparel, she car-
ried a aid pawned almost every pawnable article he possessed--
even to his very ussusentionabtes; and all the while treating Ls
conjugal remonstrances with the most ineffable contempt. In Oat,
it_was very evident from his account, that, like the wanton young
wife in the ballad, she sung—and acted up to her singing-

The '.lallstrate told Mr. Deely he pitied his misfortunes, bet he
bad not the power of redressing them; and he re:minded blsa•that,
however bad his wlfe's conduct might be, he bad married" her for
better for worse. But it appearing that she had 'emitted a ratbirr
tiger-like aabsult upon her husband's aged mother, the Maglberate
ordered her to find bail ; at the same time recommending key hos.
band to allow her a separate maintenance.

A young woman named Margard ]Sy* underwent an eitansina-,

Mills, in Titchfield-street, of a phi watch and a piece of velvet.--

UNION HALL.
tlasakaos or MOZlSlL—Yesterday this odic* was crowded to
excess. in coosequence of the examination of a man named Amex
Keaton, an Irish labourer, who was charged with having murdered
his wife. On being placed at the bar he did sot evince the slightest
degree-of alarm. The facts of the case were these : Halsey. a night
constable of St. George's, having received some information of the
woman's death, went to the prisoner's residence in Unicorn-court,
- Kent-street, cia Wednesday night about ten or eleven o'clock,
where he found the prisoner smoking and drinking with several
other prisons. In another room there were alstfut ten or a dozen
men and women eensuldng together ; there was a bed in :he room
on which the constable found the body of prisoner's wife, coveted
over with a blanket. Halsey examined the body in the primmer's
presence, and found that the deceased had received two desperate
blows over the left temple, apparently by some blunt instrument,
which had perforated the skull. She had also received a blow over
the right temple, and on various parts of her body marks of violence
appeared. There was blood flowing front her mouth, and dm
body was quite cold. The prisoner said, she had received -she
two blows on the left tees* by roiling out of bed and striking
against the screws of the bedstead; but upon examining the bed-
stead, the constable found there were no screws against which she
could have struck bee bead—neither could she have fallen out of bed,
as described by the prisoner, it bang placed close against the will,.
blaisey then took the prisoner into custody, and searched about dm
place to discover the instrument with which the wounds had been
inflicted, but without success. The prisoner was very anxious to
address the- Magistrates, and although cautioned not to say any
thing which might hereafter be used against hint, he proceeded to
state, that on Tuesday his wife went over the water with a sailer
to receive some prise money, and she came home intoxicated. The
sailor *as a poor man, and was allowed to sleep in their room. In
the morning she was very sick, which was produced by her having
drunk se much the over night. He went of to the waterworks,
and returned about ten o'clock. Ile then found his wife lying on
the floor, with her head under the bedstead. She returned no answer
to his inquiries, but foamed at the mouth, and vomited liquor.
About a fortnight ago she had a fit, and fell out of bed, which Gm.
sionsd the bruises on her body. —The Magistrate suggested the neces-
sity of searching for the weapon with which the wounds had been In-
flicted on the deceased's tempirs.—Maisey, however, thought that
the wounds might have been caused by violent kicks, and on ex-
amining the prisoner's right shoe, he discovered two bob nails.witis
the heads projecting out a considerable distance beyond the tom.—
, Marks of blood were visible on the sole beyond those two nails.
By the Magistrate's desire, Malley compared the two nails in the
prisoner's shoe with the wounds on the deceased's temple, and he
found that the distance between them exactly agreed ; and be alit
said that they fitted into the wounds on the right and left temples.
He added, that he was of opinion that the woman's, deeds wale
occasioned by the kick from the shoe, the nails of which had pes¢
*rated the skull—The prisoner manifested no kind of vprehmeoo,
and he was remanded for a further examination. Tho &testa
was the prisoner's third wife. His son, by a former wife, was sen-
tencedto be hanged. but the sentence was afterwards comninted
transportation for life.
