A bill was here handed in to Alderman Magnay, headed '
with the Royal Arms. it sta'ed that Jane Miami, who
had been born deaf and iamb, bad lived under an eminent
Indian doctor, who was possessed of extraordinary and
most rare secrets in the medical act, and renowned for Ms
cures all user the Eastern world ; that she bad by attention
to hie doctrine*, and the force of her natural powers, ob-
tained a complete knowledge of 'the art, and that in then-
"nation, goat, asthma, and disorders which it was not
necessary to mention. she could apply an infallible remedy
by metros of certain herbs, and, lastly, that a patient needed
not tw.igaitupon her himself, but merely send !err a little
bottle containing a liquid, after the manner of other high
medical characters.
, Mr. Abierrnanlfeciser, who bad never witnessed a more
-• complete command of the vocal organs, asked the woman
whether she tatne ender the class of those who were daly
receiving the use of their tongues through the intercession
of Prince IfOlienloise, or whether she was actually pratisi og
a deception ?
Mrs. Kitson said all the world was a deception,. and she
Was one of deceptions, but she would deceive so more.
The Alderman complimented her on the restoration of
her speech, as well as on leer detersaination to tell oo more
lies. He then sent the prisoner before a County Magis-
trate for a decision on his case, the aeriee not having been
committed on the City. ...„.
Litattreatt.—YesterdaridOortree Cooper, porter, in the
employ of .Ir. Wooltuore. haberdnsher, 31, Barbican, was
charged by his master, tinder the following circumstances
,—Tlse prisoner, it appeared, hail lived nearly a twelve
month in his place, and was considered a very trust-worthy
• servant, until about a fortnight ago one of of the shopmen
bappenine to be.its the cellar, observed him conic slows awl
put something in a cavity over one of the beams, which was
found: so be a sinall•qnantity of new tape. In the coarse
of the fortaight several little .articles torrid their way to
the biding-place. sod were gone the next morning. Tiles-
day morning the shopman taking his usual survey of the
hiding.placr, found.lt contained a parcel of half-a-dozen
pieces of tape. lie communicated the fact to his master,
him at the same time the history of the last few
days. Pavers% the street-keeper, was sent for, who on the
prisoner leaving st.oight, stopred him, and found the pro-
, petty in his possession. Fur the possession of the property
fumed upon him, the prison. r•ronld make no excuse, but
declared it was the first and only parrel he had ever taken;
arid, as to the various other articles found at his shop,
he protested he hail parchased them of hawkers at different
times. his was committed fee trial.
Bow arneev.—Yester.lay Thomas Dockland was brought
before the Sitting Maelstrates, by Steven-, a constable of the
olfioe, en a peace warrant, charging him with having on
the morning of 'rendes- the sth of ;ingest, left a letter at
the• hotter sit Mr. Robert Blackmer', of No. 7, Chapel-
place, Bedford row, tending to provoke the latter to fight a
duel.
Mr. Mtes--ett having perused the warrant, produced a
letter addeesed to Mr. Muchmore, and asked Mr. Buck-
leer: if that was written by him ?.
Mr. Dockland —Ctrtsinly it was.
• Mr. ithicanett —Well, Sir, my course of ditty is very
short and simple in this matter. You avow yourself to be
the author of this letter which, in my opinion, contain.
a direct chul!ence to Ali gentleman (Mr. Blackmon')
end I have only to call upon you to give bail to k-ep the
peace.
Defendant—lbo you think, Sir, that a challenge is con-
tained in that letter? •
Me. •Oltositut —I diceetainly,
• • Defend/et—Wilt great • deference to yort, Sir, I think
there is nothing in that letter which can be called a chal-
lenge ; but perhaps your Worship fernied your determina-
tion upon the message which accompanied the letter' for
when left it at the door, I desired the servant to tell his
master that I was waiting, and that if he came out I
would do myself the pleasure of giving him a good horse-
. whipping.
• Mri Missoute=You have *ow said quite enticient, Sir,
witbout•thia letter; but I still think it-contains a challenge.
You my in one part, .` your statement is wholly f else," and
in another, " if you are not quite dead to ill feelings of ho-
nour &c." and if that is not a challenge, I do not know
what It is, •
Slr K. Billets differed from his Worthy Colleague. He
thought it calculated to provoke a challenge from the other
party, but not in itselfa challenge.
Sir. ithestsutc —I think it as direct a challenge as
one man can send to another. Bet the threat of horse-
whipping is quite sufficient, and I think 4 ought to demand
heavy bail.
The defendant said it was certainly his intention to give
the complainarit a good horsewhipping, and he was sorry be
had not had the opportunity of doing so.
After some warns language between the parties, the de-
fendint begged to eeplein the cause of this quarrel. The
complainant had paid his addresses to his (defendant'*)
sister, had won her affections, and promised her marriage,
but bad all at once chosen to desert her. Ile had grossly ill
treated her; his (40'Si:there) feeling, as a brother sod a
gentleman had been outraged, and he could not help being
irritated. • Why tilid not the domplaioant meet him that
manning like a man and a geminate:), instead df bringing
. bleat° a police other ?
CoMplainant—Con yen see that I ever saw your sister
taro than 20 times in my life?
. Defendant—lt is no matter, Sir, bow many times you
may have seen her. You introduced yourself into my
family with the most honourable pretensions, and you chose
to-tor* Off my ocher without any pretence.
„ 'The complainant, ha his reply to this remark, took oat-
- .; aNis to.obemee, that nothing bad occurred which at all ef-
fected thrtezoor of the def:;.danCs sister.
