* Bow-5Tkms T._ti?rt, Mlfat,HoIlthsd; a very smastly -dresse wioman, wvas broughtb'efbre the magistrates on a peace-warrant; ciarged,with threateningeto intfiet-b6ddy injury upon. AIiss Eliza Holland &emble, lierreputed daughter-in-law. It w as stated by lis-s Kempble,.vho appeared to be a highly ac- complished young lady, that she h4d zesided with Mlr. Holland from her ifancy, and unti latey she alwavs supposed him to be her fa- ther; but drcumstances had occurred which induced her now to doubt ~pon the subtject. She was educated in France, and until shp came to reside in this country she knew but very little of the Englislt language, but the knowledge which she fiad since ac- quired, had led to a discovery to which the present complaint was, in her opinioni, to be attributed. Mr. Holland some time ago married the defendant, and from that time her (Aliss Kemble's) home was no longer supportable. They were quarreiling incessant- ly'; and at length Mr. Holland placed her in lodgings, at the house of a Air. Ritter, a German tailor, undertaking to pay for her board and lodging. A few days ago, Mr. Ritter presented a bill to ir. Holland for certain extras thatshe had been furnished with, and very shortly atter Ars. Holland went to her lodgings and conducted her- se with great violetce, threatening " to tear her liver out," and mak- mg use of other declarations of such a nature as to excite seriousappre- henscions in complainant's mind. The discovery to which she had alluded was this :-She once saw a document wfiich she unlerstood enough of to know that it was a will of her late mother, (who died when complainant was very young), in which property was bequeath- ed to her, and Mr. I-lolland was nominated trustee. She of course madeno secretof this,and she attributed the conductofMrs.fHolland to this circumnstanae Mr. Holland had repeatedly urged her to re- tire to a convent in Fr.nce; but she refused. illiss Kemble was en- tering further into this part of the subject-but she was stopped by the magistrate5 wvho informed her that he had nothing to do with private matters of that kind; he could only take cognizance of the threats which she alleged that Mirs. Hollandhad made ute of. On the part of the eendant, it was declared that AMiss Kemble was totally mistaken as to the will of which she had spoken. She was actually the daughter of Mlt. Holland by a former marriage, and there was not the least fotndation for the supposition whiclh somehow or other had entered the mind of the complainant with re- spect to the supposed will. The M1Iagistrate repeated that he had nothing to do with that part of the case; and after some conversation, Dlrs. Holland was held to bail to keep the peace. THSARPSrEPOLICE..Richard Hilditcld, of WZappinz, victualler, appeared at this office, before T. RicsBEr.LL, Esq., the presiding nagistrate, to an information filed against him in March last, charg- inR hilm with engaging and employing a number of coa imeters' men, contrary to the statute, the defcndant not being a licensed coal un- dertaker. - Shaw, being sworn, stated himself to be a licensed coal under- taker, and that the present inforrtation had been laid by him against the defendant, in consequence of its being a question of great iinport to upwards of 2,000 individuals and their families; and that he grounded his infbrmation under the statute of the 47 Geo. Il., c. 42, in which it is expressly stated-"1 No person to follow the trade of a coal-undertaker without a licence from the Court of Aldermen of the city of London." The witness said lie should be able to prove the defendant not a coal-undertaker; that he had acted as such without a licence; andI the serious injury sustained by a victualler having the power to fix upon any persons he might select. as tihere could beno doubt his best customers would ilwavshiave a prefterence- John Sullivan deposed, he was at the defendant's house on the 12th of AMarch last, and was engaged and employed by him to assist with others to deliver, from the brig James, then lying off Bell- wharf, her cargo, consisting of 320 chaldrons and three vats of coals. Durinig the timic the witness was standing in the defendant's public- house,he saw him deliver a list upon paper of the names of persons to be enmploved, and at that timne lie saw the defendant erase one out of the paper, and substitute his (the witness's). Alagistrate.-Can you read writing ? lVitness..Yes, and was standing near enongh to see what the list waS, and know it was made out by the defendant ; after which it W.3S given to John Clack, a basket-man, and delivered to a person of ihe name of Swaine, who is a licensed coal-uiidertaker, and when the cargo was delivered, the men were piaid in defendant's kitchen, by the basket-man, who deducted from each his share of the defend- ant's bill fbr beer supplied by him during the time the men were de- liverng the cargo. Hurdsby, an officer from the Lord Mayor, at- tended with a book, containing the names of all licensed coal-under- takers, anti being about to produce it, MIr. Anderson, solicitor, on the part of the defendant, said lie would not trouble the bench with that, his client was not a coal-undertaker, and all that was requisite for himn to observe was,that he hoped due consideration would be raid to Sullivan's evidence, and as to the credibility that should be given to it. The Alagistrate, addressing himself to Mr. Anderson, observed, the testimony which had been given against his dient was upon oath, and he saw no reason to doubt 'the truth of the statement; and adjudged the defendant to pay a penalty, to which in =ases like the present the informer is entitled. Mr. Anderson then gave notice of appeal, and put in bail accordingly. ,AoLICB.
