ETD .13,41LEY GESSIONS. THE TURTLE DOVE. Allt—" Jzscr o► Dorensm." As lonely I sat on a Balm summer's morning, To breathe the soft incense that iloved on the wind ; I mad on my boots in their bright beauty dawning, By Waaames Jet Bfaclinz, , —the pride of mankind ! In their bright jetty gloss, every feature divinely Was 'hewn, and appear'd with rich lustre to glow ; No high-polish'd glass could have shewa them so finely, As Wattltax's ,It Blacking, the pride.of the beau! On a maple tree near sat a turtle bewailing, With sorrowful cooler', the loss of her love ; F.ach note that else utter'S seent'd sadness exhaling, And plaintively echo'd around the still grove'. When 10, in my boots the lone mourner perclived • /ler form, and suppos'd that her lover was there: Even 1, that the vision was real half believed— The Blacking reflected her image so fair ! She hover'd around, at the figure still gating— Anxiety seem'd but to heighten her woe: She pereh'd on the boot with a courage amazing, And fondled the vision that bloom'd in its glow ! Ilow wild were her cries, when the fairy illusion She found but a cheating and transient shade ; Like Hope's airy dreams, but a fading delusion That shone in the bloom Warren's Blocking displity'd! I pitied the dove, for any bosom was tender— I pitied the strain that she gave to the wind ; Etat I ne'er shall forget the superlative splendour Of WAsasn's Jet Illackiag—Abe pride of mankind! POLICE. thstoN-11ma..--Hawking Benefit Tickets.—A very novel charge was yesterday brought under the notice of the Magistrates :—Mary Barker, who stated that she resided in Gilheres-buildings, Drury-lane, was, charged by William Gem, an Inspector appointed by the Commissioners for granting Licenses to Ped a lars, and Thomas. Harrison, a well-known informer, with hawking, selling, and exposing to sale, a num-. ber of bencht tickets, for admission to the Coburg Theatre, she not being the manufacture' theicof, Caere stated, that great complaints had been made. 131 persons connected with the Coburg Theatre, and touch inconvenience had been experienced from the catensive traffic carri.: f on at the doors of the Thea tre, by the purchasers and venders of tickets. He observed the defendant sell several of them or. Thurs. _day night at the entrance of the Theatre, and they asked her if she had a license : she replied in the ne gative, and gave her address. On going to her re sidence lie found a printed hill placed in the window, with the words Dealer in Benefit Tickets," and in the house he found an abundance of those articles. Chasidering that she was liable to the penalty under the Act of Parliameut, with that impression he had brought the case before the Magistrates.—Tlie Ma gistrate said, that in his opinion it was not a case within the meaning of the Act for the regulation of Hawkers and Pedlars, and dismissed the complaint. The defendant capresscd her gratitude for the deci sion; she said that she had carried on the business for a considerable time, without an idea that it could be deemed in any way illegal. Catherine Hailstone was brought before the Ma istrates under the following circumstances :—On fharsday, an interesting girl, about 14 years of age, applied at the Office, stating that die had just re yarned home from a place where she had been at ser vice, and that her mother-in-law (the prisoner) had taken aH her money and clothes away from her, beat her, and turned her out of doors. The Sitting Ma. gistratealirected an Oilicer to accompany the girl to the residence of her mother-in-law, ascertain the truth of the matter, and procure, if possible, the restitution ocher clothes and money. When gle Of ficer arrived at the house, the woman told him, with shameless effrontery, that she had spent the money and pawned the clothes. After much persuasion she accompanied the Officer and girl to the several pawn -1 tokers with whom she hal pawned them, and the Mee" succeeded in procuring the restitution of nearly the whole. They theft returned to her residence ; and while the Officer was exhorting her to receive the child again under her protection, and behave to her like an affectionate parent, she flew into a violent passion, attacked the poor girl, and beat her most' cruelly ; and upon the Officer interfering, she kicked and bit him in a furious manner. *n infant of four, months old, which had been entrusted to her to nurse, and which she held close to her body during the out rageous attack, was at last taken from her by force, in a state of strangulation : a period of two hour: elapsed before the child was restored to animation: the Officer then took hq into custody. She was or dered to find bail. ILarro N-Cin;iplty,Yesterday Thos. Faulkner and George Prideaux were brought up for examination, charged with fraudulen4y personatimt and forging the names of two Stewards to a.BeneAt Society, to a receipt, by which means they obtained .4:100, paid them in two l'aso Bank of England notes, by Mr.llo ben Parrott, Clerk to .he Savings Bank, in Panton street, Haymarket, and which sum was deposited there for the use of the Society. The case excited, m uch interest, and the Office was crowded with al number of the Members of the Society, as well as witnesses. But Mr. HARAILR, Solicitor for the pro -s.ecution, being out of town, and unable to attend, the prisoners were committed for re-examination. LA Al BETH-ST REET.-1 c.stcrd;y W.Davics wit* com mitted as a common utterer of counterfeit coin. When he was apprehended he threw away several bad half crown pieces, which the Officer picked up. He was then locked up in the strong ryoin of the watch-house, aad the Officer went away, leaving the keys hanging up in the place. Ilis absence was taken advantage o f Isy the prisoner's there male* who opened the dour, and let him out. He was, however, soon after re, taken, and is now better secured. Minday, a man, whose sense of fear was deadened by intozieation, undertcx,k, for a wager, to walk a l ong the parapet wall of Ruthergle.n Bridge. In the at tempt, he fell on the bed of the river at a place, at the north end, which at the time happened not to be covered with water. Ile was much hurt; and now lies dangerously ill. Before the fall, he lost his ba lance twice, but saved himself by. taking hold of the bridge. • FOTIGEIM.:S QN c4siC. _QC 1t01...40- • DI Yesterday Elizabeth Brooker r og•d4S, was -indicted for uttorin+ a forged one pound Bank of England note, with intent to defraud the Governor and 'Com pany of the Bank of England. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQURT, in opening the case to the Jury, observed that this was one of those cases in which the prisoner had persisted to plead Not Guilty to the major offence. He was under the necessity of stating, that if the case was at all goainto on the . , part of the. rosecution, he could not allow the pri. soner to retract her plea. He should be extremely happy to hear the prisoner now plead Guilty to the minor offence ; but if any witnesses were examined for the prosecution, he could not allow of a retraction. Mr. Baron GRAHAM then asked tbe,prisoner whe ther she were now willing to retract her plea? The prisoner expressed her desire to proceed with the trial. John White was the first witness called on the part of the prosecution, and deposed that he lived at 23, Alsop's-buildings, New-road, and carried on the busi ness of a grocer. On the 21st of July the prisoner ,came to his shop, and bought some tea, sugar, and soap ; she gave a 1.:1 note, and said her name ...vas Brookes, of Mary-street, Fitzroy-sqaare. Witness's son served the woman with the goods, and obser yeti at the time the bank note was given that a forged bank . note had been taken from the same street in December last, and he believed that it was the prisoner who paid it away. The prisoner denied this, and then said that she did not live in Mary -street, but in Mary-place. On being still further questioned, she disavowed the second address, and gave her place of residence " 11, George-street, Fitzroy square," where her husband kept a large painter's shop. She further stated, that she had left Mary's place about a twelvemonth. Witliess then gave the prisoner 12s. I d. in change out of the note, the remain der being the price ,of the tea, sug :r, and soap. She then went away, and witness desired his son to fol low her. John White, the son of the last witness, corrobora ted his father's testimony, and added that, when the prisoner was taxed by him with having previously pasted a forged note, she appeared very much agi tated and changed colour. According to histfather s direction, he followed the prisoner, who, instead of going towards Fitzroy-square, turned exactly the contrary way, towards Gloucester-place, New-road. The prisoner ran and walked as fast as she could all the way, and looked back every minute. Wituess described minutely the track of the prisoner to Lin coln's Inn-fields, where she was taken in custody by a Mr. Slade, whom he knew and met on the road. He was about an hour and five minutes following her. Cross-examined.—He did not observe her throw any thing from her. Johnson, the policoofficer, stated that, when brought to the Office, she appeared very much agitated, and, in answer to the question where she had obtained the note ? she said that are had been an unfortunate wo man, and had received the note from a gentleman.— Upon searching her a good note was found. A witness was then called, who proved that there was no such street as George-street, Fitzroy-square. The bank note tendered by the prisoner to Mr. White was proved to be a forgery in all respects, by Mr. Christmas, Inspector of Bank Notes. The prisoner said, in her defence, that she did sot know that the bank note war a forgery at the time she passed it. When examined before the Magistrate, the good and the bad £1 notes were produced, and the Magistrate said, he would sooner have taken the forged note than the good one.—The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict—Guilty. --- Mary Smith was indicted for having feloniously uttered and put away two forged £1 Bank of Eng land notes, knowing them to be forged, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Another count in the indictment charged the prisoner with intending to defraud thereby John Farrow.—John Farrow was a salesman, living in Whitecross-street, and deposed, that on Sunday, the 12th of July last, between ten and eleven o'clock, the prisoner and another woman came to his shop. The first asked for a pair of shoes and a pair of stockings, and afterwards a boy's corduroy dress. The articles came to 20s. and she tendered a one pound note. Witness asked what name he should put upon the note ? and she said her husband's name was Co nogan, and lived in Golden-lane, but did not know the number. This he wrote upon the note, and the prisoner quitted the shop. In about ten minutes she returned again, and bought a gown for 4s. and a pelisse, which came to 16s. She paid 4s. for the gown, and paid Is. upon the pelisse, saying that she must go and get more money of her husband, as all his pension would be spent. She then went away, and soon after returned with another one pound note. The name of Conogan, Golden-lane, was also written upon this note. The prisoner remained about ten mi nutes in his shop each time, making about half au hour in the whole. He was quite confident of the person of the prisoner at the bar. In about thirteen days after, witness saw the prisoner in the street.— She was pointed out to him by his servant, Marian Hudson, through the shop window. He went imme diately after her, but he missed her, and she escaped. On the next Sunday, witness saw her in custody, and knew her again. Cross-exaufined.—He did business on a Sunday mornieg sometimes. lie thought no other customer but the prisoner came in on that Sunday. All the three visits by the prisoner took place before twelve o'clock. When Hudson pointed out the prisoner to him, he asked her whether she was sure that was the, woman? He followed her to the corner of White- 1 cross-street; and when he returned, he did not re collect repeating the question to Hudson, whether she was certain that was the woman. He could almost swear it. 'When the prisoner came a second time to his shop, he asked her address agaia, be caese she did not know the number of the house the first tinle. Marian I:Judson, servant to the last witness, cor roborated her master's testimony. She saw both the notes given, and saw the address written upon them. Thirteen days after she saw her pass the door of the shop, while her master was cleaning the windows.— She did not then know that the notes were bad, but pointed her out as the woman who had laid out so na4c.ll money. She saw her the next day in custody. She was quite confitient that the prisomer.at the bar was the woman who gave the notes. Cronvlsalnined.—Wheir , her snaster returned from pursuing the stamen unsuccessfully down IVbite cross.streat, •We repeated the question, " Are you sere; Marian, that that is the woman?" Witness answered in the affirmative. Her master went to see' the woman in custody, .and before he went said, " I, will go and see if I can recollect the woman." Pre vious also to going to the watch-house, her master asked het whether she was sure that was the woman? and on his return he repeated the same question. — On going before the Magistrate he repeated the question, and added, " Be sure you know the woman before you swear to her at the Police-office." Wit ness did swear to the prisoner at the Office, as she was certain she was the woman. The prisoner here became very much agitated, and fell back in the chair which had been previously pro cured for her. She was taken into the air, :end the trial was interrupted for a few minutes. Mary Farrow, wife to the first witness, saw the prisonef the first and second time she came to the shop, and she had no doubt as to the ideutity of the prisoner. Cross-examined.--The shop was much frequented by such persons as the prisoner at the bar. She did not recollect particularly any woman of the same size and dress of the prisoner frequenting the shop. She went with her husband to the watch-house, to see the woman ; but never heard him say that he want ed to see if he knew her again. Witness went to the watch-house and knew her again. On Sunday morn ing there is not so much light in the shop as on other days, as only one shutter is taken down, and ,any one coming into the shop had of cobrse their back to the light. Thomas Vaughan, an Officer of Police, proved the apprehension of the prisoner in Little Crown court, Grub-street. Marian Hudson pointed her out to him, and the usually went by the name of Smith. He went into the prisoner's lodgings, and found there a bonnet, a blue gown, and a handkerchief. Cross-examined.—He knew a woman of the name of Driscoll ; she was taken into custody, but bad since been set at liberty. Mrs. Driscoll lived near to Mr. Farrow's. She was a little taller and more bulky than the prisoner. Examined by Mr. Justice GRAHAIL—He never found any of Mr. Farrow's property in the lodgings of the prisoner, although his object was to search for them. Fle found 25 duplicates in the room. Mr. Farrow was again called, and stated, that the woman who came into his shop on Sunday, 12th of July, was dressed in a blue gown and a black bon net with red strings. Mrs. Farrow and Marian Hudson were also called to prove the dress of the prisoner at the time. She had on a blue gown with white spots, a red handker chief, and a black bonnet with red and black strings. The clothes found in the prisoner's lodgings were then produced by the Officer, and answered to the description of the dress of the woman who came into the shop. Mrs. Farrow, again called, stated, that she was certain that the gown and bonnet, now produced, were those the woman had on who came into the shop on the Sunday, 12th July. Cross-examined.—The gown was of a very com mon pattern, but she recollected it again. She did not believe that any shutter was down on the Sun day in question, and the only light in the shop came in at the door, which was open. Mr. Farrow, again examined, knew Mrs. Driscoll well, and swore positively that it was not she who came into the shop on Sunday, 12th July. Marian Hudson, being again called, swore most positively that the gown and bonnet produced were those worn by the woman who came into the shop on Sunday, 12th July. • Mr. Christmas, Inspector of Bank 'notes, swore that both the notes were forgeries, and also swore positively that the signature at the bottom of the notes was not the hand-writing of any signing Clerk in the Bank of England. Mr. Taler was called, who proved that the signa ture was not his hand-writing. The prisoner said in her defence, that she was an innocent woman, that she was 36 years old, and had worked hard for the last 16 years. She never had, and hoped she never should be play of an act in tentionally which could hurt any individual on the face of the earth. Richard Neville, on 12th July last, lived at 9, Crown -court, Type-street. lie was a journeyman cabinet-maker. Witness took his lodgings of the pri soner, and eat his meals with her. The prisoner was taken into custody on the 26th or 27th of July, and he was at home on Sunday, the 12th of July. He went out before breakfast, and at ten o'clock came home. lie dined at two o'clock, and from ten to two never quitted the sight or hearing of the priso ner. Mr. Farrow's shop he thought was about half a mile from their lodgings. Witness had a bed-fellow, Harvey, who was with him at the time, and took a walk with him into the City. The witness then underwent a long cross-examina tion by Mr. Scrjeant BOSANQUET, entering minutely into all the particulars which occurred on the day alluded to. James Harvey was next examined. He lived in the same house with the prisoner, and slept in the same bed with the last witness. He recollected the 12th of July last, and could swear that from ten till two o'clock the prisoner was not out of his sight. ' Upon his cross-examination, he corroborated in every material respect the testimony of Neville. Richard Mullen was acquainted with the two last witnesses and the prisoner. On Sunday, the 12th of, July, at eleven o'clock, he went to their lodgings, and remained there until a quarter to one o'clock. Du ring all that time the prisoner was never once out of his sight. Bridget Smith, daughter of t 1 ;e prisoner, stated that she came to her mother's house on Sunday, the 12th of July, at about a. quarter past ten, to fetch home her clean linen. She waited till one o'clock, and then went away. Her mother was at home all the time. A great number of respectable witnesses were then called to charlcter. Several of them, who had known the prisoner for 10, 12, 14, and 20 years, gave her an excellent character for kolustry and honesty. Mr. Jkistice BAYLEY Throttled up at considerable length to the Jury, and observed, that tvide ice had been addisced in this cue which requited the ;reatest at tentlon. ..Ameiri Li, le tow isks4 was either :L e h i or the worst defence : if it -were true, then it e l , oontradicsion to.the *hale Anse :on :the •_p an , f 4 prosecution ; but if it were faiee,iwasaddie gaii , crime to the previAts offence, And where it va s , dent that such an: infamous contrizary h a d formed, the punishment of the prisoner out be decrnased.
