named Dennis Delany, one OF the navlgalofs
employed on the works of the Great Westefn
Railway, at Falling was brought before Coionel
Clitherow and Mr.. Armstrong, the sitting mags-
trates, to answer the following charge:
A Young man named Clay, stated that his father
wasa bosier and glover in the village of Falling On
the previous day he was at home alone, when,
while at dinner, the defendant walked, or rather
staggered into the paror, and, sans ceremOnie,
seated himself at the opposite side of the table,
and began helping himself to the smoking viands,
which he devoured with apparently most ex-
quisite relish. Witness told him she mustn't dine
there" but the defendant only laughed at him,
and on the female servant coming into the room
at the time, he threw his arms round her neck
and, before she could prevent him, inflicted
most mercess kiss upon her lips Witness be-
coming alarmed at the vagares of his unwecome
guest, threatened, if he did not walk out, he
would fetch some to put him out but the
defendant no sooner heard this than he walked
into an inner parlor, and, stretching himself at
full length on sofa covered with handsome
chintz; said he was Mr.. Ferguson, and he was de-
termined to lodge there. Witness then sent for
Mr.. Haynes, neighbor, with whose assistance
the defendant was got into the shop,>when he
again seated himself, and demanded to be shownl
some pink silk stockings and white kid gloves,
for "Biddy O'Shaugnessy," with whom he said he
was going before ''the praste mkt Sunday, place
the Lord At length, after two hours expost,-
lation with the defendant witness sent to the po-
lice station for assistance when Sergeant Pascoe
Il 10, and Hall, Il 55, came and removed him,
in doing which the defendant assaulted both II
officers.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, ex-
pressed his sorrow for his misconduct, declaring
that he went in to purchase some articles for his
intended wife; and said that it was not him sat
all at all, that did it, for sure it was the drop O.
the cratlr that did it,
The Bench said repetition of such improper
conduct must be prevented, or the defendant
would next time get into some PERSONS bed, the
consequences Of which might be very unpleasant.
The defendant was Men fined 2Os. and 5s
costs; or, in default of payment, to be committed
to the House of Correction for two months.
Blddy O'Shanghnessy, who was 'sin atten-
dance soon fetched the money, and her ssboy''
was liberated, much to her satisfaction.
Short Work.-The first marriage under the
New Act having taken place yesterday, at the
REGISTRARS office, our readers may perhaps wish
to know the nature of the ceremony 1t was as
follows: The bride said, 81 call upon these per-
sons here present, to witness that do take thee
to be my welded husband;' the bridegroom re-
peatlng the same words, but altering the last into
wife. The Registrar then said, 81 declare these
people legally married" The parties signed the
register, and all was finished in less than three
minutes Taunton Register
LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF SIR
WALTER ScoTT's MONUMENT AT GLASGOW
On Monday week the foundation stone of a monu-
ment to commemorate the genius of the late Sir
Walter Scott, was laid in st. Georges Square
yUlfh thu 1
ors. The masonic lodges, on arriving at the
front OF the courthouse, were preceded by their
respective bands, and occupied the places indica-
ted by the placards. About half past two the
procession, fanked by the 9Th Lancers, proceed
ed to the site of the monument. The Lord Pro-
vost, in his address, said they had performed an
act which, while it honored the dead, at the same
time honored the living. By erecting monu-
ment to departed genius, they left to posterity
tangible proof that the generations among whom
Sir Walter Scott lived were in so far worthy of
him that they could appreciate his merits. The
very Rev. Principal Macfarlan, also returned
thanks. Three cheers were given by the assem-
bled bodies, after which the band struck pp the
Mason's Anthem, and the populace dispersed
