says I, "and by the same token there's them that seen you

your Worship's fsvour,) says she; " Thank you, Mrs;
Casey," says I. "Your welcome," says she, "and silk

save, "there's a trifle more for yon, Mrs. O'Leary;"
"thank you kindly again for that, "says I, " but I'd
rather you'd give me my ring, Mrs. ,Casey." "You and
pier ring may go to brazes," your Worship, says she;
" The weather's too warrant," says I, and I thought so was
her company, so I went away for an officer, and he found
that she had pswned my ring, bat took it opt the saute
day, and that', all I have to say.
The officer then cams forward, and said he bad made
inquiries, and found that the Owners bad pewned a wed-
ding ring on the day described by Mrs. Casey, for eigh-
teen pence; but that she redeemed it the saute afternoon,
and he could not discover soy further traces of it.
Mrs. Casey, who was bursting to tell her story, wee then
called on for her defence. . •
Mr. Mt xellut.L—Where's this poor woman's ring? . .
Mrs. Casey—Honour bright, your Worship, I know•
thing of it.
• Mr. Mixsnutt—She says you took it off her barren
Mrs. Casey—Och, as for that, your Reverence, sim'army..
any thing but her prayer'.
Mr. filitssitin.i.—As a friend you should have taken !Ut-
ter care of her. '
• Mrs. Casey—Didn't I take all the care in the world of
her, and took her home, and put her decently to bed ; but
she's a bad owe, your Worship, and she knows it, and the
world knows it and her husband knows; and she gam this
deg to a Irian that she has.
Mrs. O'Leary—la it the likes of me, with three childer,
to have a loan.
Mr.. Casey—Yes, the likes of you ; wasn't it but last
Friday you were found lying on auotber man's bed, fast
'pjleep, with youreelf uncovered, and Oon knows whoa;
did didn't your hnshaed say you'd been crirnoonollying him.
Mrs. O'Leary—Oh, holy Paul I your Reverence. Weal!
false I was toicticated, and fell on another man's bed ;
but my two children Irene with me, and this Mrs. Casey
wants to make my husband jealous of me that's as innocent
as a sucking kitten.
Mr. filitteuuta.—Upon my word I thick there is no
ground fur jealousy (the lady had not a charm to bout
of) ; but 1 cannot with the evidence before me, take any
further steps to help you. You must look for your ring,
and if you find where it is, we will endeavour to obtainits
restoration. lam afraid, you have got this poor .woman's
ring.
Mrs. Casey—Honour bright, your Worship, I hav'st.
Mr. MINIIRUI•L—WeII, you must help her to look for it..
Mrs. Casey—Faith,ber eyes are as good as mine, your
Worship, except when she's blind drunk, and that's every
lay in the week.
Mr. Slissuinx then said, Mrs. O'Leary might bring her
barge for the assault, if she liked.
Mrs. O'Leary-11y my conscience then I like no such
thing, for ;didn't core if she salted me till I was** salt as a
red herrin so as she'd give me the ring, for its all 1. bad to
prone I was an honest woman, Coo help me !
The case was then dismissed, and in five minuter Mrs.
O'Leary and Mrs. Casey settled their difference over a
quarter*.
arr on Gaeor.v.—A respectable tradesman applied to
Mr. Sergeant SeLLore, the sitting Magistrate, for a sum-
mons against a man for not delivering him up a child of
his, under the following circumstances :
He stated that the man who detained his child was
brought up by him from his youth, as his own son, that
he instructed him in his trade, and wits now doing busi-
ness on his own account. That ahout three years ago, he
discovered this man and his wife io a situation that left
him in no doubt of their guilt. On which occasion. be
proposed to his'wife to write to her friends in the country
to come to town, and to he present at their separation,
and witness the settlement he intended to make on her
ant her three children. She threw herself on her knees,
and with tears supplicated his forgiveness, telling him
to conceal what bad past, and that for ever after, sloe
would prove a faithful, virtuous wife. Ile forgave her,'
and he believed she kept her word to the hour of her
death, which was. on the 4th of March last, more than
two years after the discovery alluded to, and a year after
the birth of the child, which he believes to be his, and
which was christened after him; that the man lie com-
plains of obtained the child from the nurse who bad the
care of it, and has sent it to another woman to nurse,
that lie says the child is. his, and that he will not part
with it.
The Worthy Magistrate told him, that his best way was
to get a Habeas Corpus to compel him to deliver op the
child; hut still he would grant him the summons to try
what effect it may have.
The summons was accordingly ordered.
