YESTERDAY

Two boys were committed for a month for pocket pick-
ing.
A girl named Uealey was remanded for a week under
the following circainstances :—At an early hour yesterday
morning a police.ollicer saw a cart containing two sacks
of cotton at a marine store in Pothouse-lane. Each of
the sacks weighed one cwt., and the prisoner vas in the
jigger loft about to hoist them. The carter told him that

he had been engaged in Chadwick-street, by a boy, to
take the cotton from a house in a court in that street, to
the marine store mentioned. The prisoner conducted him
to the marine store, but the carter was unable to point
out the house whence he took the cotton.

THE POSTAGE STAMP ROBBERY.—The man, named
Hemingway, accused of. stealing postage stamps from
letters belonging to Mr. Hughes, solicitor, was again
brought up ; • but the prosecutor, after the case was proved,
declined to proceed further, on account of the age of the
prisoner and the respectability of his family, and he was
discharged. Mr. Hughes stated that he had forborne to
prosecute previously, but he felt compelled to have the
charge brought home against the prisoner, as he had
threatened to bring an action against him (Mr. Hughes)
for false imprisonment.
IRISH CRlME.—Constable 666 charged an Irishwoman
named Mary Barrett with stealing cotton. It was amusing
to observe the impudent self-possession of the prisoner.
She was an exceedingly powerful woman, and quite as
ugly as muscular. As the officer stated the circumstances
of her apprehension, in Paradise-street, with the cotton
upon her person, she stood with folded arms contem-
plating the animated scene around with much satisfaction.
She coolly refused to be passed to Ireland, and with the
utmost indifference accepted the alternative of seven days'
imprisonment.

AN INCIDENT OF MARRIED. 141713.—Mr5. Amelia
Allbut, a middle-aged female of genteel exterior, who was
accompanied by an interesting girl, her daughter, and
another child, appeared to make a complaint against her
husband. The husband, who was present, presented an
appearance equally favourable with that of his wife and
family. Mr. Owen who was engaged by Mrs. Allbutt
stated the case. He said the parties had been married 31
years,—and the fruit of the marriage had been thirteen
children. The defendant followed two good businesses—
those of a needle finisher and a confectioner,—and his
wife, by her untiring industry, had contributed greatly
to his success. He then called upon Mrs. Ail butt, who
proved that her husband came home drunk on the night
of Monday week, and threatened to murder her. Her
daughter and herself were compelled to leave the house
arid she stood in fear of her life. Mr. Owen said he should
propose an arrest of judgment, with a view to a separation
of the parties, with an allowance from the husband. All-
hut was bound over to keep the peace, himself in the aunt
of £5O. with two sureties of £25 each, He professed
himself willing to come to some settlement with his wife,
with a view to their separation.
