Jfarriott had renttd drawing-room apartments of the complainant from January , ISoS , at £ 40 a year , with servant's attendance . ; but \\ Ken shi took tiem she wished her rot to let the part ;> ur « to a gwitlelnan . ' * Mrs Go" < gh said she must let them to some one , but woul . l be cnutious as to whom ; and having been applied to for them oy a clergyman , the rector uf a parish , she accepted him' as a tenant , and he

      accordingly took po * se . " « QB of jfie parlours in February . After this dreaded cogtigiijty of a " gentUman" bec : ime kubwii tb Aari ^ 'jMarriott , she took occasion to expfetw ^ bw .

Oa Mrs . G . going up to remonstrate witb her on such an irascible method of exhibiting h * r repugnance to this proximity of human nature in the masculine gender , she became greatly excited , and taking up a cbair , threatened to knock the complainant down if she did not leave the rwotn .

As a riinle to the performances , th « complainant alleged , that on Thursday she threw a piece of coal thiougb the window into thfgarden at her . Mr > .
