WORSHIP-STREET. A respectable-looking couple, each about 30, were charged with creating a distui bance, and causing a mob to assemble in the public street. Constable 37 G said he was on duty in the City-road about six o'clock on the previous evening, when he observed the defendants surrounded by about two hundred persons—men, women, and children. The male delete lant held in his arms an infant, the possession of which, however, was being resolutely disputed by the female. who, he learned, was his " better half," and who, it appeared, had been chasing him for some time through the various streets in the neighbourhood for that pitrpose.  The husband, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, replied that a short time since he had a disagreement with his wife, and proposed to her a separation, he undertaking the charge of the children, four in number, which was agreed upon ; and having been promised a situation in London he came up to town, bringing with him the three elder children. lie, however, returned to Norwich, and having got possession of the infant, got into the railway train, and again proceeded to London ; but on his arrival at the London ternairus to his amazement, he was suddenly accosted by his wife, who he learnt had come up by the same train in another carriage ; and this was the origin of the complaint made by the constable. The infant here exercised its lungs, which manifestly were of the stentorian order, and,  The MAGISTRATE desired that it should be at once given to the mother. The Lather reluctantly complied. Mr. Hermitage, on the part of the wife, said he was instructed that the husband now cohabited with other women, and all that the wife required of him was that he would let her have the children, as her friends would assist her in their maintenance and education, and he might then go where he pleased. He had s.ild all their furniture, and taken lodgings in London, where the other children were ; but in what part could not be ascertained. The husband said he certainly would not consent to give up the other children, unless compelled to do so by law. Mr. ARNOLD replied that he had no power to compel him to do so. lie had, however, behaved extremely ill, and all he could do in the matter was, to bind over both husband and wife to keep the peace towards each other. The parties were then accordingly bound in the sum of 201. each for that purpose. THE LATI 111 eanEtt IN Stionsprrcti.—This having been the day appointed for the final examination and completion of the depositions touching the prisoner Brooks, for the murder of William Gobert, of Hare-court, Shoreditch, on Wednesday se'nnight, a concourse of persons were assembled around the exterior of the court, anxious to catch a glimpse of the wretched man. When handed out of the prison van the crowd within the court was also excessive. The prisoner was at length ushered into the court. The depositions, which were read over by ➢lr. Vine, the chief clerk, were very voluminous. The prisoner appeared to be greatly affected at the painful situation in which he was placed, and exhibited a complete prostration of his mental and physical faculties. Mr. Vann attended as the prisoner's legal adviser, and said he had reserved his defence.  ➢ir. James Harrison, surgeon, described the appearances presented on a post-mortem examination of the body of the murdered man.  The prisoner was then removed from the dock, preparatory to his conveyance to Newgate, to await his trial at the next sessions at toe Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey. A reinforcement of police was required to keep oil' the crowd when the prisoner was removed to the van.
