PoucE, Saturday, May 26th.-SmaIl business an
day. Magistrates cross-oficsrs sky-larkiRg in the
Park-reporters loafing and caves dropping around
the Clerks desks, like flock of buzzards around tho
carcass of a dead horse. Every whisper was noted
down, with the expectation OF learning something
further about Rector the murderer. All was hushed
Cyprans and their patroness, Moll Sanders, and
Smith handed in MolPs man Friday. The parties
were separated. The girl with the green bonnet was
told TO sit IN one csrner-thc damsc with the black
veil and black eye was gallanted to another corner
she with the white bonnet and yeowlsk complex
ioH, was escorted in the antchamber; Moll was ia
ken into the back room to undergo an inausition-
and Molls man stuck up IN dark corner behind
the coroner desk. All was mystery and profound
silence,
"What's the NATTER Bowyerf'
"Don't know. Num-" Exit in back room.)
What's to pay now Smith u
Can tell. Mum" (Exit IN back room
What It's all this mystery about, Peck r.
IL amt ready to come out yet"
"Why notp
Because il amt. Exit in sweat)
Our curiosity was excited TO the highest pitch, and
as derner resort applied to the " next officer"
jast as the magistrate had hammered for his atten-
dance.
"Don'r bother me-stand out of the way-don't
you hear the magistrate call me 2"
He's taken-(whispered one of the out door mar
shas in the ear of red faced constable) they've
caught him at last.
Caught who" eagerly cried the other-Rector
putting on a clean shirt. Molrs man has rugged him
out in new suit and he was seen TO come out Of
the house only an hour ago.
Then they have not got him yet?
Not exactly got him-but they expect every minute
they will get him. The Boston man swears he'll pnr-
sue him clean TO Rrley bat what he will have him
hung. The whole OF his connexions are in Brdewell
and some dozen or two Of the fral siserhood, on a
charge of helping him off-thc jaor thinks he must
have been got by witchcraf and the girls are be
tired for sorcery.
TyiEng.-A little black boy, who answered to the
name of Benjamin Palmer, was brought in charged
with robbing the money drawer OF Israel Merritt %
James street. of S. bill, while the shop keeper
ed his back minute. Being caught in the act he
was committed in full.

the Tales OF woman's trials" which she had loaned
TO her and could not get repossesson of che had held
on TO the shawl, which she intended 10 retain until
the above goods and cha,,es were restored. The
magistrate, as in duty bound, said II was case with
which he had nothing to do.
"Nothng to with il! said Mrs Bently-" why
Lawyer Shave said i I'D pay HIM for his troubls he
would get me back the shawl"
Eyes sir, "sobbed Sarah Bently. and pawned
my clothes to raise the money to do il with"
1.-THE mere fool you" then, said his worship.
'The lawyer has shaved you out Of your money |;
and my advice 10 you is TO give the defendant back
her property and she will return ysu your shawl"
The complaint was then dismissed.
