II II li :~ t . i . her living as a carrier. Her brother kept a fruiterer:* shop in Birmingham, and the witness came to see him on Sunday, the 29th of July, with the intention. of going to Deritend Wake, which was held just outside the bridge. She slept at her brother's that . night, and on the following evening her brother, her stster-m-law, and herself, went to the shows at Deritend Wake. She and her sister-in-law returned home, and, went to bed before ten ; her brother came home about half an hour afterwards. They all three went again on the Tuesday evening, accompanied by a young woman named Mary Mayesfield.' They went into Low's show-booth to :eel the shows. When the performances were over, they were coming away, but Harriet Jones and Low's family invited witness to stay fur supper. Witness and her family had long been acquainted with Harriet Jones and her brother ; and they pressed witness's brother to permit her to stop, as it was a long time since they had seen each other. Witness said that she could not, as Mary Mayesfield was with her ; upon which Harriet Jones observed, that Mary Mayesfield might stop with her, and her brother William would see them home. Witness and Mary Mayesfield accordingly stopped, and her brother and his wife went home. After supper, William Jones, Mary Mayesfield, and witness, came away from the caravan within about ten minutes of twelve o'clock. They accompanied Mary Mayesfield to her home, which was in a court off Allison-street. Witness and William Jones were then going down Allison.street on their way to her brother's house, which was in Moat-lane, when they observed some persons coming towards them, whom she supposed to be a Mr. Glover and his daughter; upon which she asked William Jones to step into an entry to let them pass. They accordingly turned into the entry a step or two, while these persons, who turned out, not to be the Glo. vers. passed. Her reason for wishing to avoid meeting the Gr!overs was because she had promised to go to tea there, and she had not kept her promise in consequence of having stopped at Low's. As soon as they had come out of the entry, and were proceeding down Allison• street, they were accosted by a watchman, who said to witness—" Halloa! what are you about, my girl ?" Witness replied that she was going home to her bro ther's. The watchman said he was afraid she was a bad girl, and asked her if she had any friends in Bir mingham? She told him she had ; and be directed her to mention their names. She mentioned her brother, who lived in Moat-lane ; and also Mr. Glover's family. He then inquired if she knew any others ? and she re plied that she had several acquaintances in Birming ham. He next asked her if she knew any Gentle men there? She told him she did, and Ladies too.— He said to her, taking held of her arm, she must go with him and shew him where those persons lived. Wm. Jones then said " Come home, Caroline." Upon which the watchman told him to be off, or he would 'have him also. Witness told Wm. Jones is stop there for her while she went and shewed the watchman the Nooses of the persons she knew. She then went with the latter up Allisun-street, and shewed him Mr. Glover's house. He said that was all right, and told her to shew him some other. She next took him to Mary Mayesfield's houses and told him she had been spending the evening with her. He went up to the door, and said that was all right to'. lie asked her where she lived generally ? and she replied, with her mother, who was a carrier, at Hales Owen. She told him where her brother lived, but they did not go there. She asked him if she might not now go home ? He said no, he must see a man whom he called Barnes. He told her that they should find him up a yard, and she said, she was ready to go there. They went up a yard, off Allison -street, but he said, Barnes was not there, and they returned. He obtained a light from a man whom they passed. After they went a little mailer up, witness asked him where this Mr. Barnes was? The watchman replied, that he was up another yard. They accordingly went through another entry, ar.d up a yard, but saw nobody there. The watch man opened the door of a building at the end of the yard, and said, the man might be in there. He pushed witness in, and shut the door. As soon as they were inside the door, he said, " What money have you got, any girl r she replied, ss. 41d. He said, "Well, turn our the 55." Witness hesitated a little, upon which he said, " D—n you, if you don't give me the money, I'll dash your brains out." Sbe immediately answered, " 0 Lotto, have mercy, save my life, and I'll give you the money, with a true and f re e conscience. She gave him the 51. and was then about going away,: when he pushed her back against the stairs. she told him she thought he was to allow her to go, upon giving him the money, but he said if she attempted to stir, he would dash .her brains out. He then put his tight arm round her waist, and carried her up stairs. She hooted (cried out), but lie crammed his fist in her month, and repeated his former threat if she made a noise. He held his lantern in that hand which he had round her waist, and put his left hand to her month. He carried her in that way to an empty room, op one flight, and then hid his lantern down, and douted" the light. (The witness then described how the prisoner abused her. Before the witness came to this part of her evidence, she was directed to look round in Court, and say if she perceived the person who had thus treated her. Her eyes wandered over every part of the Court, except, apparently, the bar where the prisoner was standing, and which was immediately beneath the witness on the right hand side. After looking about for' some time, she did not see the man of whom she had been speaking, but she was sure it was the same man whom she had afterwards seen before the justices). He afterwards conducted her down stairs, telling her at the same time, that " if she ever mentioned what had occurred he should know her again, and would serve her out." When they got into the street, be repeated his threat if she ever told ; and she replied that she did not know but she would tell. He then took her to another watchman, end gave her up to his care, telling him she wanted to go to Deritend. The other watchman asked her what made her tremble so ? was she starving ? She replied, "not starving, but something worse."— It was nearer to go to her brother's than to Deritend, hut she preferred going to Mr. Low's, because it was so late, and her brother always went to bed at ten o'clock every night. She knew that however, when she lett the show at twelve o'clock, and yet then intend ed going to her brother's. But she preferred going to Denteed after she had been abused, because the way was more lonesome to her brother's. The second watch man conducted her to the bridge, from which she went to Low's caravan, and knocked at the door. Harriet, Jones let her in, and asked her what was the matter? —Witness told her a watchman had ill used her, and taken five shillings from her. She also told William Jones the same thing, and he advised her to ac quaint her mother with it. She went to bed with Hat riet. It was about two o'clock in the morning when she reached the caraVan. She did riot 'ctescribe to the Jones's how she had been ill-treated. Early in the morning she asked William Jones to see her home en. her mother's. He went part of the way with -her. When she went home her mother asked her what was the matter? Witness told her a man had taken 55. 1 from her, and had done something worse. Her mother did not then examine her under dress, but she did when they were before the Magistrate that day week. No surgeon examined her. The witness underwent a long cross examination, which la•ted for several hours, in the course of which the principal points elicited were the following:— When she chewed the watchman Glover's house, :he, was quite. close to the door, but she did not knock at it, she said, because she thought that while she was in the custody of a watchman she must not do any thing but as he wished. She gave the same reason for not knocking at Mary Hayesfield's door. She was alarmed lest he should take her to the watchhouse.— 'When going home with William Jones, he did not per ceive her gown soiled, although, as they went along, she rubbed out the dirt where the watchman's foot had been on her stomach. She Walked A little way behind him when she did this. While she was abused, she neither bit, kicked, nor scratched the man who was ill-treating her, because he threatened her life if she resisted him. When the witness had been under cross-examination (or some time, the Judge and the Jury retired for a few minutes to take some refreshment, upon which she was accommodated with a teat ; but no sooner was she placed in it than she fell into a fit and fainted. With some attention she recovered, add Was allowed to sit in the crier's box while she gave the remainder of her evi dence. Wheu the cross-examination was at an end, the Learned Judie d rected her to lor.k round again, and i try if she perceived the man who had ill-treated her. She did 60 for some moments, but still her eye did not appear to light upon the prisoner. At length his Lord ship directed her attention to the man at the bar, and she was obliged to come forward a bole way from her seat, to make her see his face ; but the moment she did, she exclaimed, " That is the man who ill-treated me; that is the man, and no other." William Jrnes was nest examined, and stated that he lived with John Low, who kept a show where rope• dancing was exhibited, His sister Harriet and himself 'had known Caroline Smith since they were children. He then gave an account of those circumstances con nected with the case which had come under his know ledge, in which he varied in some few flan instances from Caroline Smith's statement, but in its principal features his story corroborated hers. He identified the prisoner as the man who had insisted on Caroline's ac companying him to chew him the houses of the persons she had mentioned, telling the witness, when he desired Caroline to come home, " that if he did not hold his noise, he would take him also to the watchhouse."— Ilie prosecutrix told him to wait there a minute or two, while she 'hewed the prisoner Mr. Glover's house; but after stopping until nearly two o'clock, he supp)sed she had gone to bed at Mr.. Glover's, and he therefore returned home. When he' was accom• panying her towards her mother's the next morning at fire o'clock, she seemed greatly agitated in her mind, and said she had been treated much worse than bring robbed ; but although he repeatedly pressed her to tell him what was the matter, she declined to du so. The prosecutries mother visa also examined, and spoke of the appearance of her daughter on going borne: she told her that a min had taken ss. from her, and used her worse than a man would use hi: wife. Adam Osborne,.the watchman, into whose charge the prisoner gave up the prosecatrix, stated, that when so doing, the prisoner told him he had found two young men abusing her in a court in Allison-street. The girl trembled very much, and witness asked her if it was the cold which made her do so? bhe replied, Nu; that the other watchman had taken Ss. from her, and had done something else." It further appeard from the evidence of the night constakle, that the prisoner had cried the hour of 12 o'clocK but had n-_t been heard to cry it again until three o'c!ock. The Learned Judge (Hotaovn) having minutely and carefully summed up the evidence, The Jury deliberated for some time in the Jury box ; but there being no likelihood of their speedily agreeing upon their verdict, they reti r ed to a room in the Judge 's lodgings, where they temained locked up horn ten o'clock until twelve, when they returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was also indicted for feioniously stealing the ss. abovementioned from the person of the prosecu trix ; but this indictment will not be tried. Monday se'cnight George Allot,: was executed, pur- suant to his sentence at the last Assizes, for violently assaulting William Piggott, a waggoner, on Gangsden Hill, and robbing him of upwards of 51. in money.— Since his condemnation he made a confession of the robbery, and of knocking Piggott down with a hammer, but said he had no intention of murdering him ; that he struck him but one blow and he fell with his head close to the horses, when he caught hold of both his legs, and palled him out of the way, otherwise the wheels must have gone over him. He also confessed many petty thefts, and attributed the whole to poaching. SUDDEN DEATH.—Monday morning the wife of Mr. racsrav corn-chandler, Brick.lane, Spitalfi e lds, in the act of cut ting brea d and butter for breakfast, fell into her husband's lap, and instantly expired. LONGEVITY.—Thursday morning last, a Highlander of the name of John Macdonald expired in his son's house, in the Lawnmarket, Edinburgh, at the age of 107. He was born in Glen Tinisdale, in the Isle of Sky, and, like the other natives of that gum ter, was bred to rural labour. Early one morning, when look ing after his black cattle, be was surprised at the sight of two La dies, as be thought, winding slowly round a hill, and approaching the spot where he stood. When they came up, they inquired for a well or a stream, where a drink of water could be obtained ? Ile conducted them to the " Virgin Well," an excellent spring, which was held in great reverence on account of its being the scene of some superstitious and legendary tales. When they had quenched their thirst, one of the Ladies rewarded Macdonald with a shilling, the first silver coin of which he was possessed. At their own re quest, he escorted them to a Gentleman's house at some distance, and there, to his great surprise and satisfaction, he learned that the two " Ladies" were Flora Macdonald and Prince Charles Stewart. This was the proudest incident in Macdonald's patrjarchal life; and, when surrounded by his Celtic brethren, he used to dilate on all the relative circumstances with a sort of hereditary enthusiasm, and more than the common garrulity of age. He afterwards turned joiner, and horn a conspicuous part in the building of the first Protestant church, which was erected in the island of North Uist. He came to Edinburgh twenty-three years ago, and conti nued to work at his trade till he was ninety-seven years of are. He was a temperate, regular living man, and never paid a sixpence to a surgeon for himself, nor had an hour's sickness in the whole course of his life. He used to dance regularly on New Year's days, along with some Highland friends, to the bagpipe. On New Year's, day, 1825, be danced a reel with the father, the son, the grand son, end great grandson, and was In more than his usual spirits. +Hs hearing was nothing impaired, and till within three weeks of his demise, without glasses he could have threaded the finest need's with facility.—Scotairsan. • POLICE MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a land coal meter, named Finch, appeared to answer the complaint of the principal coal•meter, who charged hint with bating defrauded the City of London of the duty upon a large quantky of coals, which be, in conjunction with another land mal -1 meter, was appointed to measure. W. Reeve, stated the case; and said, that from the lit of May to the 5.1 of June, 1826, the duty upon 550 chaldrons and a half of coals was unaccounted for. Upon an investigation into the cause of this extraordinary deficiency, a book was introduced, which con tained the separate entries made by the coal.nt . The defendant, however, who had access to the book, tore out, according to his own acknowledgment, some of the haves, containing the items of the returns. The defendant then declared that he could not account for the deficiency. He could not say what his comrade might have done in the business. As to the books, he admitted that he hid tons out some leaves, but he had no guilty purpose in doing so. There was, in fact, a greal deal of confusion in the office. Ile had, how ever, returned the leaves, and be called upon the principals to say whether there had been any imputation upon his honesty before ? The Loss Maros said, he had been obliged In the Court of Aldermen, to pronounce the dismissal of a coal-meter for an offaice of precisely a similar kind. Examples must be made to protect the City of London, and It was therefore his duty to climbs the pre. sex defendant front his situation. GUILDHALL: Three Irish labourers, brothers, of the , same of Rierdon, were brought up by an officer of St. Bride's parish, who stated that they worked for Mr. Dupree, who was laying down the new pavement in Fleet-street, and having got drunk at their work the evening before, they were taken to St. Bride's watc►hwee, merely to keep them from doing mischief till they became sober..when it was in tended to let them go. But they were no sooner lodged in the Watchhouse, than they commenced pulling it to pieces, and Mould base destroyed it entirely, had they not been sent to the Compter. Mr. Dupree had seen the watchhouse that morning, and promised to make good the damage. The ALDZILMAII observed, that the poor fellows worked hard, and they drank hard; but hoped they would keep themselves as orderly as possible, and as they were now sober they might respria to their work.—The three Riordan' bowed, joined in a chorus of Goo bless your Honour," and returned in high spirits to pave Fleet-street. - BOW-STREET. Yesterday a raw young Scotchaaan, called Robert Wait, was brought before Mr. Murrnuat, charged by the Countess Susannah de Puissaye, who resides at Fulham, with having forcibly entered her dwelling•housr on Sunday evening last. It appeared that on Sunday evening the door-bell rang rather violently, and on une of the servants opening the door the defendant, much intoxicated, walked in. She pushed him out and shut the door, but he went round to the kitchen door, opened it, and walked in. The Countess, hearing a noise, came Jown stairs, and finding the defendant in the library, desired bins to leave the hobse instantly. This, however, be refused to do ; upon which the Countess seized an umbrella, and brandished it over him, and then ►e very quietly asked which was the way out ? •s I will shew you," said the Coontess, and walking before him, umbrella in hand, she conducted him to the outside of the door." When asked what answer he hid to make to the charge, tickets Wilkie said, he did not know bow be came to vibit the Countess's house, except that he supposed it was his own home, for he bad bad ■ gond deal of liquor, and had little or no recollection of what had befallen him. The Count'', said, she suspected that the youth was set on to annoy her by hi► master, who kept a large factory close by her house. The defendant shot some of bet fowls. The defendant admitted that he shot the fowls, but said he did so by order of his master, because they were constantly coming into his grounds. Mr. blnumou.—There seems to have been no assault committed. Perhaps, Madam, you will forgive him if be begs pardon, and pro. anises not to offend spin ? The Countess said she bad no objection. The defendant made the required apology and promise, and was discharged. ARLBOROUGILSTREET. An ohl man, of very venerable appearance. was placed before the Magistrate., to have a son or daughter, as time and chance may determine, affiliated to him. A smart pelt young damsel stood by his side, who was introduced by the (nicer. of St. George's parish, as being in a state far advanced towards increasing the population of that parish, and of decreasing the pour-rate fund. " Well, young woman," sad the Alagistrate," who is the father of sour child?" " This hare aid man is, an Swam your warship." she replied smirkingly, and laying her hand upon her venerable neighbour. Not I, indeed, you husaer," 11. id the old mao, in a dreadful state of agitation, which was much increased by an unfortunate impedi ment in his speech. " What," said the Magistrate," do you deny, then, that the child is yours ?" I do deny it entirely," said the old man, " fee the thing is im possible, your Worship." 6. Not so impossible as your Worship might think," observed the young woman. The Magistrate asked the latter how old she was ?—Slae replied that she was in her with year. " And bow old are you," said bete the old man ?-- 6 Lord s bless your Worship," ►e replied , " I could be her grandfather; lam tit years old." Maoteratcs--Well, and bow did you get acquainted with this young woman T—l did'nt get acquainted with her at all your Woe. ship; it was she that got acquainted with me. " How was that ?" said the Magistrate.-.-Why, your Worship, she same to bed to me one night when I wu betwixt asleep and awake. Young woman—O, Be for shame upon you, you wicked old matt! Maws —Where did this accident happen? Old 111an.—Ay, sad accident it was, indeed (wiping the scrams of perspiration from his furrowed face), it happened at Old Breen,. ton, your Worship; more the misfortune for me that ever I went there, bet the child is no child of mine, your Worship; I'll never own it. MAOIIIILATZ. —But you acknowlege that the young woman and you slept together. 0 yes, I do, your Worship, but that was all ; for Inner spoke a word to her, I do assure your Worship, all night. IShotsvaims—That may be, and still her evidence may be true. The old man said, that he could bring forward his master to prove that the child could not be his. Mamma...re—How can your master say yes or no to the matter ? I dare say he knows nothing about your amours. It was further explained, that this couple were left in charge of their master's house at Brompton, where this accident occurred. The Magistrate awarded that the old man should pay half-a. crown a week to the parish; but he declared that be would rather pass the remainder of his days in prison than pay a-farthing, so satis fied was he of the utter impossibility of the child being his. A man and his wife were charged on suspicion of robbing Miss Mason, of George-street, Hanover-square, of Bank of Marghnd notes to the amount of £lOO. The prisoners declared they were innocent—They were both remanded. An old Chelsea pensioner complained that his Benefit Society (The Union) had discontinued the allowance of 35. a week to him, on the ground that the articles contemplated by the words" House of Charity," a poor-house, and not a public establishment like Chelsea. The Magistrate decided against the Stewards, on this poin:, but the old soldier was thrown upon another—viz. that be was living above three miles from the Club-house. WORSHIP-STREET. In the cue of a female who was living apart from ber husband, and claimed a maintenance, the Magisitate refused to give any such order, it being proved on oath that she had committed adultery. UNION-HALL. Two men, named dune{ and Smith, were charged with stealing a silver ink-stand, value £l2, and some other articles of plate, from the residence of Mr. Cohen, at Efra•road, Brixton. From the evidence it appeared that, on the preceding day.about one o'clock, the prisoners were observed In company, hawking pencils for sale, to the doors of Gentlemen'. houses, in the neighbourhood above mentioned. Having knocked at, and rung the bells of several houses with the greatest effrontery, they at length proceeded towards Mr. Cohen's premises, which are inclosed within seine high iron-pailings ; Smith opened the gate, went to the parlour window, which was partly up, and having thrust his bead into the room, to see if the coast was clear, the rest of his body soon fol lowed, arid he was in the apartment and out again with the agility of a harlequin. He and his partner were, however, pursued by the servant girl, and ultimately taken into custody, and are now fully committed. An Irish Gentleman, whose Lady had absconded from him, cautioned the public against trusting her in these words:—." My wife has eloped from me without rhyme or reason, and I desire no one will t•u:t ber on toy account, for I am not married to hot." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE; HONITON RACER, Flaw DAY.
