COURT OF REQUESTS, WESTMINSTER.

t Ms MUSTACHIOS !—Cu Thursday a long but
very lean Young gentleman, named Julius Augustus Harrison,
wearing a most ferocious-looking pair of mustachios and whis-
kers en suite, was yesterday summoned for the Considiration of
lls. 6d. bv a little yellow barber named Rogers.
'.What's it for ?" asked one of the commissioners.
Little Rogers shrugged up his shoulders, and, in Something
between a whine and a whistle, made the following ludicrous
statement:—" I'll Jell your worships all about it. This 'stir
good gentleman comes to my shop in George-street, and asks
me, sacs he, 'What shall. I give you a week to keep my head in
order (Laughter.) Says I, '1 s'pose you means your 'air?'
' Oh,' says he, it's all the, same;' and so with that lup and
tells him I'd look arter his head fora a week, shoves
included. (Considerable laughter.) Well, your worships, I.
shaves him, and I curls him, and I set his whiskers Lack."—
(Roars of laughter.) •

A Comraissidner.—What, sir, set back his whiskers ?j
Plaintiff.—Yes, sir, one on 'em come round just like Tou'ra,
and so 1 coaxed 'em, and trimmed 'em, (laughter,) and then I
dyed his mustachios! They had a nasty look, like as Yon apes
'em now; but I turned 'em into regular black 'ans.; in fact, I
made him look decent and wholesome for a matter of ten weeks,
and now this is the way he serves me. (Laughter.)
A Commissioner.— How do you make out I is. 6d., Mr. Rogers ?
Plaintiff.—Eighteen pence fur dying hii mustachios, sir.
(The court was convulsed with laughter.)
Commissioner.—By what process?,
Rogers (with a cunning wink.)—Ah, sir, that's a secret, I
karn't think of putting you up to that; there is sick a thing as
hopposition,
.you know!
Commissioner.—Now, Mr. Harrison, what hare you to say?
Defendant.—lib ?

Commissioner.—What have you to say, sir?
Defendant.—Hawpon my word, don't 'mow, droll affair, and
d—d unpleasant. Have seen the fellow before—certainly did
frizzle my hair—believe the man shared me. As to the musta-
chios, never was viler stuff put on man's face; the Csidout was
all gone in six hours! (More laughter.)
Commissioner.—You should have "tried Warren's." (Laugh-
ter.) By your own admission it appears you owe the plaintiff
the amount sued forth; you must. pay it forthwith.
Defendant.—Rh—aw ! Really this is a most rascally, de-
cision. (Laughter.)
Plaintiff.-1 wish your worships a werry good morning.
You're all gentlemen wot is gentlemen—the most agieeablest,
pleasantest, and justest—unkimmonest—(Here the little tonsor's
encomium was cut short by the officer gently handing him out
of court.)

PROPOSED DISINTERMENT OF MADAME

MALTBRAN DE BERIOT.

Since our last another letter has been received by John Mac-
vicar, Esq., the boroughreeve of Manchester, from M. de
Beriot, en the subject of the exhumation of the remains of his
lamented wife. The letter, which is dated Brussels, October
18th; and whiiih was posted at Liverpool on Sunday last, M. de
Fienues, and the courier being then (as we believe yet) in that
town, was received by the boroughreeve on Monday. It was
couched in a strain of earnest supplication, and commences by
stating that the writer has just learned all the honours which had
been rendered to the memory of his beloved wife, and by ex-
pressing his sincere acknowledgements to the boroughreeve for
the part which he had taken therein. Suffering too much him-
self to return to Manchester, he throws himself on the kindness
of Mr. Macvicar to second him in the dearest desire of his heart,
(in obtaining which he appears to suppose that the borough-
reeve's authority is all-powerful,)—that of transporting the
loved remains to his own country. This Now (ewe) which he
had formed, he says is the only consolation remaining to him,
and if he cannot accomplish it;his whole life will be wretched.
He therefore entreats the burouglireeve to do him the favour-to
grant him his protection in this sad affair. Being too ill, he
says, to write in the first instance himself, he had commissioned
his sister to make known his intentions to Mr. Beale. That
letter not coming direct from himself, it had not been thought
right to attend to it, although it had arrived at Manchester be-
fore the interment. After repeating his request and his assu-
rances of " eternal acknowledgment," M. de Beriot adds in a
postcript that his relative, M. de Fienues, who would present
the letter, was authorised to represent himself (de Beriot) in
Manchester.

Iti;;;Wtile the festival committee, a few days ago, addressed
a letter to the clergy of the Collegiate church, requesting to
know what was the course necessary to obtain the requisite per-
mission from the proper ecclesiastical authorities, for the exhu-
Motion of the body.
registrar The Rev. Richard Parkinson, M. 4., one
of the ecclesiastical court of Chester, and that lune-
of the fellows, accordingly wrote to Wnt. Ward, Esq., deputy
tiunary, in his reply, states that the corpse cannot be legally
disinterred without a faculty, which instrument, be adds, is
usually granted in these cases by the Chancellor of the Diocese
(the Rev. It. Raikes), merely upon petitioe, unless a caveat is
entered against it. This letter Mr. Parkinson communicated
yesterday (through the boroughreere) to Mr. Beale and the
musical committee, and we understand that the rev! gentleman
has• also puronissed to transmit a copy of Mr. Ward's letter,
through.S. F. Foster, Esq.., to the courier and the relation of
M. de Beriot. We understand that the festival committee meet
again to-day, and we presume that they will decide as to the
fropriety of entering a caveat against the: issuing of any faculty
or the disinterment of the remains of Madame Mulibran de
Beriut.,---Manchester Guardian.
