MARLBIOROUGHaSTRs'EET.-On Szturdlay, Theme-s Friend, a watchmian of St.George's parish, was broughit before Sir GeorgeFAR. R.AlfT, Charged uipon suspicion with a robbery. Mn. Thomas Thomas, a gentleman residing in Bermonsev-street, New-road, stated, that on Thursday night last he and a friend of his were passing along Bruton-street, Bond-street, on their way home and went into a. publie housie in that street- eaUed the Coz%ch ana HorsLes, to take shelter from the heavy rain that was then falling. They remained in the parloor of t he house until ten o'clock-, and the ruin bring then over, they left the house; and when they got a ishort distance, lie (Mr. Thormai) put his handI in his paocker, and missed 251. in bank noses, which he had when he entered the Coach and fiorses. He then returned with his friend to the parlour, and made known his loss, declaringc that he must have been robbed by some of the party preseait. There happened to be of the party one of the constables of the parish, and thia mani isindertook to Search the whole party one by one, whiichi he accordingly did, but there was no account of the notes ; and Mir. Thomas seemin,g still dissatisfied as to the search, axid insisting that he had been robbed, this constaUle forced himn out of the house headlong into the street. At this time one of the parish beadles cam up, and hearing the nature of the casetokir Thomas and his caunse into his hands. One of then r~ nte part lour, namedl Gilbert, now asked what Sir. Thomas woudgietgt his notes bank. It seems that a few minutes before ti,tepi soner Frienid, whose station as a watchman was in Condi-tet had selnt to the beadle of the -night to be relievea fro'v uy sh was taken suddenly Wll and the beadle was proceeding to relieve him, wheni he met Mlr. Thomas outside the Coach and Horses. The prisoner had now joined thie party, and he also asked Mr. Thomas what he wokeld gitve to get his money back-woutld he stand a sove- verelgn and something to drink? The. beadle, suspecting from this that the prisoner had the mnoney, charged huln with it, Andi abso- lutl tookt thec money from hzim, whichb conisisted of two 101. notes. and a l. noate, anti he then conveyedI both Mr. 'Tliomas and the pri- soner to thte watchhouse. Sir Gxoit.sx FARA.NTav having asked the prisoner how he- ac- counted for the possession of thie niotes, he gave the following ver- sion of thet story-. He said that as hie wan calling the hour of ten O'clock, in Con - duit-street, chose- by the Coach anld Horses public hous4for there Im also a house called the Coyach and Horses in Conduit-streetl, he kicked against a bundle of paper, and, stooping to pick it up, he found it to be bank notes, but not having a light, or being hims8elf a good judge of notea, he took them immediately to another watchiman named Selkirk, who had a lantern, to examine themn, when he dir.. coveted th-t they weretwol101. antl one 51. noses. He then proce-ed- ed down the street towards Bruton-.street to mneet the beadle, whom he had selnt to to relieve himi from duty, as he was very ill ; and wyhen he heard that the noses had beent lost by Mfr. Thiomas, he gave them uiP to the beadle on hnis asking for them. Sir GEORGE asked the prisoner if it was before or after he found the notes that he sent to be relieved? The prisoner isaid, that it was after he foutnd t1em ; but hie reallv was ill, being subject suddenly Seveal r te prtywhower intheparlour aitended, and saidl, thatMr.Thoms, efor hefinaly eftthe house with his friend, wen ou byhimelffora crtan prpoe,and remnained out 20 mi- nute, ad i tht tme h mut hve ostthe notes; for before he went aut, he opened his pocket-book in te roomn, and taking thie notes outobf it, he put theni inito liis breces pocket by themselves. Mr,.Thomnai, and his friend whio acmanied hiim, declared in opPbsWitio to this, thuat when AMr. Thomas went out on the ococasiion alluded to, lie was not above two minutes away, and never wenat farther thain outside the. dror. Sir GEoouGV FAst iATae asked Mr.Thomas's friend,who was allo-w- ed by all tolhave been perfectly sober, although Sir. Thiomas himself was dascribed As not being quite so, whien thie noses were first missed by Air. Thonims? He replied, that after they left,the Cosach and [lor-es, in Btutoni-street, they walked up Condulit-street, and as they got near to a chymist's shop in that sitreet, M5r. Thomas sud- denly missed lias notes. Sir GloruGE asked if that was on the same side of Conduit-street as the Coachi and Hlorses public-house, nkear which the prisoner said he found the note5 ? Air. Thomas's friend replied that it was not, nor did they at all cross to thlat sisle, either goinig upl or returning. Sir t&. FasARtAr culled for the watchman (Selkirk) to whom the prisoner said lie hiad shown the ;totes, whlen hie found them. Selkirk, who is a foreigner, camne forward, and confirmned the pri- soner's, stateunesit. Gilbert also said, that the watchmian, in coming sipto Mr.Thomas, the beadle andI himiself, told him that he, had founud the n)otes. and therefore it was thlat lie asked Air. Thomas what he would gi've to have thjem returnied. -Sir G. FAItItANT said, that it wras altogether a very snysterious affair. Had Air. Thomas3 anid his fyiend gone along- Coniluft-strect, on) the side thtat thleprisoner said he had Iband the notes, the thing midght he accountetd for by snppo~isg that Air. Thiomas stopped, and mnissing his notes from 1hia poceat, lie then drew themi out, and they fell OR the grountd butit both M',r. Thomas anid his friend positively stated tiept they never went near the spot, or on that side of thse W4y'. Sir G2oitoE here asked wvhat state the notes were in-were they ditty or clean P The beadle-produced thein, anti they were quite clean. Sir GEORusE.said, that was odd too, because, as else night was ivan it was likely, if the prisoner found them on the ground, they would be dirty; anid asked Mr. Thomas's7friend, what stAte the loot pave- menta were in. Hle replied, that although it hadi rai-ncd agnood deal, they were tolerably clean. Sir OEoRtGg said, that had the prisoner Stolen the notes in any' way, it was niot ijkely that he would hiave mentioned his having them to the othes watchmian, or to Gilbert. He was thierefore inaclined Lo believe, thtat the prisoner did really find thic noses, and that there must be somne mistake as to the spot where Sir. Thomas first inissed them. It, however5 look-ed V'ery auspirions, and not very terz&table: to the prisoner, his a plying to be relieved offdutv after he found the noses asifh wle to secrete or dispose of them. The prisoner declared that he had no intention of the kind, and how could he dispose of them at that hiour of the nighit? On the wbole, Sir Giroiter. FArescAiNT said lie did not see aniy reason to clhargc the prisoner with a robber)', and ordered him to be discharged; hut severely reprimanded him for demanding a sove- reign to return the property to its Owner. Sir Gearge also reproved the con*table for turning SInr Thomas out of the house until lie was perfectly satisfied as to the loss be coniplained of. T'he -constable -said, that-Sir. Thomas w-as so noisy and riotous, thattIsbeammenecesary toputthim out, asliew,ts, uite inwtxic%ted. Air. Thomas stndf his- friend deolared, that, they had only drank- two g)ax%eA of brandy-and water. A loud exclamation here issued from all the other partv who were present, declaring that MY. Thoms himnself at-uk nine glas!je of branTdy and wrater to his own shaore.--- Thet ease was nowv disnitaited, and his money returned to Mr. Thonnas. An eldely decent-dressed man wras-brought hefore 'Ar.

The prisnuer gave his narmc Baud; but tome of the oficers of this establishmtnt, on seeing hib2, recognized him to bea butler who lia& lived in several respectable families; that his real name is 41.. go annd that about four years ago be charged a man named Arnold ,vtk'hwiiing extorttd a sirn of money from hisn in the Park under a'thrcit of an Infamioi e .cengeation; that Arnold was tried for the .ofTh6c, and, Upon the vi lence of this man, convicted and executed. On hieing questionzed as to these facts, the prisoner admitted thit he wa3 th'e OsMe pereon, He was remandedl for a future exairinatioh, to Tothill-flelds prison; and in thc 4;ree of.that night, he contrived, writh a piece of glas which be took fhom one of the prison windows, to cut his throat in surlh adreyadfulhnannes thst it is doubtful if he will suavive. . UXSOXV,AZL.-A Mrs. Black attended at this office, and intro- duced herself to the notice of the Magistrate, by stating, that she wats far shlstapt fromn her n,tiVo place, andl entreated5 his wossahio'a advice in a-caue, upon his 3ud8mient of which, hbe said, her fU Cure bapysiness and prosptsrity in life depended.

Mrs Black, vwho resembled one of the Society of Ariends in her dress and deportment,in arave and solemn tone commcncedst?ae of her misfortnnes. She.said ihatrhewas born rt WMtkeaven4,n Lancashire, was the daurhttr o1' a collier,and lived tere beloav and respected by all, until she bad unfortunately fallen in with Mr. Black, who had, by false promises and vows, entirely wson'her heart at the time, and rnarried her. Soon ter the ceremony was oveT, his conduct became completely shangedn he brouhtber to london, and here she described his behaviour to her as more like a brutethan any thing eise. MJrs. Black was now becoming eloquent in the hiso tory of her woes and misfortunes, wben t'te llagistyate observed. she had better come at once to the point, as other cases, he believed of equal magnitude, vwcre stond. tng over for his decision. -Rfrs. Black.-Then, Sir, I will come to the point. I want to be divorced from Mr. Black; m.y mother and all mv friends tell me that I deserve what I am subject to continually from him if ever I stretch mv limbs by his side in bed again. 'he false man b now waiting outside, and I hope your Worship will have him face to face, to answer for his cruelties to an Injured womn The Magistrate told her that he had no power to eaparate mran and wife; but hIr. Black might be brought faceto face, as ahc called it, if she pleased. Ur. Black, who, it appeared, is a dyer by trade, and was in wait- ing to leztrn the result of the application, noW entered the oTzce, when the Magistrate said that he was sorry to have heard such art account of his misconduct from his wife. Alr. Black, cadinr ix scornful look at Mis iit, said, "' Ay, there you are; whbre is that big Trishtsan by whom you have two children ?" Then, turning to the Magistrate, he asaured thera that the fact was-, -Mm Black had formedt an improper connexion writh an ibernian, for the little finget 6f whlose hand she thlought mnore of than she did of his. (Alr. Black's) whole body. She now wanted to be divorced, in order to give up both her person, and a little property she was possessed of, to the Irishman; and this war the remedy she had adoptedto ttaui that o"ject. The Mlagistrate, upon hearing this statement, miked the wife whether that part of it was true which related to the Irishman. Airs. Black at first hesitated, but at length sunmoned ua rcsoj.u- tion enough to adnit thst it was correct, but qualified ber trans. gressions, by earnestly repeauing that " lndeeg, Paddy, bhad be_ avedto her in every resoect like a mnm ought odo;" andshe was now d tennined ana had long since made up her mind, to beatow her hand upon him for all the little Serrices he had rendered her. This eclaration in Paddy's favour drew forth great laughter in the Court; and as soon as it bad subsided, the lady added, that ahe forgot to mention one very important fact to the magistrate, which was, that rt. Black, her husband, was now living wits An Irisbinman, there.. fore they could notquarrel with one another on that score. if said she, MIr. Blak consents to my living with smy Irishman, i will consent to his living with his Inshweman. .Me: BIBCk....\iith all may heart, I have not the least objection to enter into engagements to keep the con3pact; tand if the asugisteee will only let us be lawfully divorced trom this moment, you shan Dc,er see my face again. The Magistrate recommended them, if there was no prospect of their living happily together, to separate by mutual consent, bhich he intimated might beaecouiplished without going through thelegsl forms at Dactor&'-CornnoDs.

"There," said the Magistrate, " Mm Black, you go out at that doort ;" and, po,nting to another, he desired Air. Black to make his exit. AIr. Black then made bis best bow to the Bencb, and Mrs. Blghk her neatest curtesy, and both withdrew, as suggestetd be the Alta. gistrate, without deigning to cast a parting glknce at each otber. 1ioLicE.
