Romeo and Juliet, to which Miss O'Neill gave, and \ lin Fanny Kemble is now giving, so much popolarity, appears, when fins produced, to have been a very favourite and popular tragedy. Old Marston, the satirist, so long since as the year 1598, has the following lines In one of his poems : " Luaus, what's plaid to-day?—Faith nowe I knowe, I set thy lips abroache, from whence doth Bowe Nought but poor Juliet and Romeo!" It bad, nevertheless, lain neglected nearly eighty years, when, in 1748, Garrick, being struck with its beauty, resolved to bring it again into public notice. In Shakspeare, Borneo, after opening the tomb, and seeing, as he supposes, the dead body of his Juliet, drinittjhe poison, and dies before the lady recovers from her " bor rowe'd likeness of shrunk death." Otway, in his Caius Marius, which 14 chiefly borrowed from this play, made some alteration in the catastrophe, which Garrick improved by the addition of a scene written with a spit it not unworthy of Shakspeare himself ; and the play is still acted as thus altered. In 1749, Barry and Mts. Gibber, having abandoned Drury-lane, and joined Rich Covent-garden, opened the campaign with this play, in the hero and heroine of which they were justly admired. Garrick, however, having instructed Miss Bellamy in the part of Juliet, de termined to oppose them, produced Romeo and Juliet on the very first night of their acting it at the other house, and managed so well that be divided the opinion of the public upon the merits of :the rival performers. It seems, however, to have been agreed that Garrick was the best Romeo, and Jlrs. Cibber the best Juliet. " At Covent-garden," says a critic, " I saw Juliet and Romeo, and at Drury-lane Romeo and Juliet." Much idle cri ticism was inserted in the public prints by the partizans of the rivals. In the mean time the town was obliged to put up with the same play at both houses for twelve rights successively, according to Davies's account; whilst Murphy, in his " Life of Garrick," states it to have been twenty nights. Rich, at length, was tired of the contest. He announced another play, and Garrick. as a signal of victory, performed Romeo an ad ditional time, and closed the contest with a diverting epilogue Token by Mrs. Clive. Though the public at first tan in crowds to decide upon the merits of the rivals, yet many were justly angry at being obliged to see one play repeatedly, or give up the diversion of the theatre altogether. The following epigram, which alludes very happily to a speech of Mercutio, was printed during this struggle for theatrical pre.eminence ON THE NUN OF NOUN° AND 3ULIZT. " What play to night?" says angry Ned, As up from bed he rouses, " Borneo again!" and shakes his head, " .4 plague o' both your houses!" - - By an extract lately made from the French papers, it seems that the Parisians have been recently regaled with Shakespeare's Othello done (or rather undone) into French—for, if any credit may be attached to the account quoted, nothing—save and except the costume of the representative of the " gentle Dadonono," seemed deserving of the critic's commendation. About thirty years ago a translation, or rather a ludicrous version of that admirable tra gedy was exhibited on the theatre at Stutgardt, which has been thus described :—" When Cassia enters drunk, he makes logo sing two songs, and the other characters join in the chorus. The subject of the first song, that Englishmen drink more, and the second, that they fight better than all the world besides. When Roderigo and Casio fight, logo stabbed the latter in the seat of honour, which Casio scratched like a Merry Andrew, sitting upon it for a long time, calling for help and crying murder ! A chair, something like those in which paupers are carried in London, was brought on the stage, and Cassia hoisted off. Deulentotta discovered on a German bed, in a bed gown, and fairly between the sheets. Othello standing by her, smothered her with the green curtrin, kissed her, and fell upon the bed, dead as a salmon he a fishmonger's basket.' Emilie presently appeared rating him handsomely for half an hour. Casio was brought forward in the aforesaid chair to explain matters. The Moor then made a strange bellowing about the ' Sneer Clout' (pocket handkerchief), and smiting logo, who rubbed his arm like a fool at Bartholomew fair, the Moor roared a little longer about the snoot clout,' picked up a dagger, which happened, without any reason, to be upon the stage, stabbed himself heartily, and died. To this representation the house was very full, every body laughed, but neither clapurd nor hissed, such a practice being contrary to etiquette. The 'Atm is smaller than the Haymarket Theatre, with only three candles over the Duke of Wirtemberg's box. A box is kept purposely for strangers, for which something more is charged than to the natives. Such is the conception which the Germans have of one of the best pieces of Shakspeare." Mr. BAILEY, a gentleman connected with the silk trade, was on Wednesday morning found dead in the street at Macclesfield, having fractured his skull in consequence of falling into a collar hole which hail been left open during the night. Saturday, a Court of Compensation was held at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of awarding compensation to Mrs. Margaret Price, the freeholder of the celebrated hotel and tavern in Chandos.street, known by the name of the N Key," and the adjoining premises, at present occupied as an oil-shop, in con sequence of those houses being about to be pulled down. It will be recollected that some time since £4,000 were awarded as sufficient compensation for the premises in question. In consequence, however, of an informality, Mrs. Price applied tor and obtained a risendatista for a new trial. The claim sought to be obtained from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests was £11,200. The Attorney-General, Mr. Gurney, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Sheppard, appeared for the Commissioners of Woods and Forests; Mr. Brougham, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Charles Phiffips, for Mrs. Prke.—The investigation occupied the whole day.—The witnesses in favour of the claimant considered the property well worth £B,OOO ; those on the part of the Crown within £4,ooo.—The jury retired at lie o'clock, and after a short consultation, returned with a verdict awarding £4,000 to Mrs. Price. ACClDENT.—Yesterdsy afternoon, about half-past two o'clock. an accident occurred near Wellington-street, Strand, which was nearly attended by fatal consequences. A gentleman was proceeding along the Strand, in a cabriolet, No. 156, when the near side wheel suddenly came off. The horse immediately galloped off, the driver and the Gentleman both remaining in the elbriolet—luckily when near to Wellington-street, the horse's career was stopped by the cabriolet coming in contact with a large van, when both the delver and Gentleman were rescued truest their perlous situation. The horse is severely injured, but luckily nu person was hurt, which, owing to the crowded state of the Strand, being Lord Mayor's day. is miraculous. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Pied Bull, lelingten. on the body of a female unknown, about 15 sr 16 yeats of age, who was found drowned in the Regent's Canal. Battle. bridge, on Friday afternoon. The body appeared to have beeu in the water several slays, but there were no marks of violence on it. She was dressed in a blue gown, green shawl, Leghorn bonnet. laced boots, and white silk stockings. There was nothing found on her person to trace who she was, and a verdict of " Found Drowned" was returned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 9. SUIOMEND..-11DIADSHAVY V. MODOSIT. This bill was filed for the purpose of ascertaining what tithes were due to the Rector of Moortowa. It appeared that the parish is divided into districts, one of which, called the Hamlet of Moor town, consists of about 500 acres, and had, as it was alleged, been in the habit of commuting the tithes for the annual payment of the sum of .819. The question for the Court now to decide was, whether this payment of sel2 a-year was equal to the assignment made upon the other districts. It appeared that so long back as 1750, an arrangement was effected, by which the other parts of the parish were assessed at £l4B a-year, and they now complained ;bat the occupiers of the lands in the hamlet did not contribute their fair share. The case was urged before the Master of the Evils, who decided that the existing arrangement was just and proper. The Loaf► CHANCELLOR this morning said, that after the most attentive consideration of all the evidence that had been ad duced, be was decidedly of opinion that Xlll a-year was in equal ratio to what the other parishioners paid; and he therefore con firmed the judgment of the Court below. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 9. SUTCHZLL V. HAMM. This was an action tried at the last sittings in London, and was !nought to recover the value of a bill of exchange drawn by the house of Leroy and Co. of Charleston, in America, upon Messrs. Crowther, of Liverpool, but made payable in London ; the drawees, however, failed previous to the bill becoming due, and it was accepted by the defendants, for the honour of the drawers, in the following manner :- 0 Accepted if regularly protested and refused when due." The bill was accordingly presented at the domicile of the drawees at the time it became due, and not being paid was protested at Liverpool. For the defence it was contended that it ought to have been protested in London, as the bill was payable there, and therefore the plaintiffs could not recover, as they had not properly protested the bill.—The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Guam'v now applied for a rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted; and contended that the evidence of the mercantile persons who were examined at the trial proved that the verdict was at variance with the universal usage of merchants ..ts. Lord Taarraansit read the evidence adduced at the trial, and said it might he considered that he bad directed the Jury to return a verdict for the Plaintiff. The three other Judges delivered their opinions seriatim, and all concurred in the decision, being of opinion that the particular ac ceptance obliged the Plaintiff to protest the bill at Liverpool, even supposing that the custom of merchants required bills made payable in London to be protested there.—Rule refused. The Avstiaszv-Gantasa. observed, that he had looked into an old book, written by a namesake of his, or rather it was a trans lation from works of several foreigners, which stated that a bill, when drawn upon a person at a particular place, ought to be pro tested there, and that this was provided fur by a statute passed in the reign of Charles the Second. SOWER, ♦. TIMES. This was an action of assault, brought by the Plaintiff, the Churchwarden of the Parish of St Giles s-in.the-Fields, to try the right of the Defendant, the Vicar, to turn him out of the Vestry, at meetings of the Select Vestry. The Jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff, thereby finding that the Select Vestry had no authority to act. The ATTORNZT-GIVIRAL now applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that a book called " Harding's Extracts, which was put in evidence, was inadmissible, and that the Jury had re turned a verdict contrary to the direction of the Judge (Mr. Jus tice J. Parke) who tried the cause.—Rule granted. The Arronurr-Geneasc said, the decision of the Jury had canoed great confusion, as it had taken the power from the Select Vestry to raise rates, and the Churchwardens were not allowed to do it without the concurrence of the other Authorities. Under the Police Act, Mr. Peel had called upon the parish to pay a con siderable sum to defray the expenses of watching and clothing the officers, and from the disputes it could not be raised in the parish ; but the Act called upon the Churchwardens to pay it, thetefore ' they would have to advance it out of their own pockets. THI LORD at ►YOR. _ _ _ _ The business of the Court was frequently suspended by false notices of the arrival of the Lord Mayor, expected, as usual, on the 9th of November. Mr. TAUNTON, who was addressing the Court for a new trial in a Welch ejectment cause, found himself obliged to stop, and, losing the thread of his argument by frequent interruption, occasioned much laughter in his repeated efforts to proceed. At three o'clock, the procession entered the Court. The old Lord Mayor, the new Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and the Common Sergeant, appeared at the bar with Counsel, and made their bow to the Judges. The Commix SIMIANS, who officiated for the Recorder, then moved to record a warrant, by which the Corporation of onelon appointed Thomas Leblanc, Itaq. their Attorney in this Court, with power to defend and support all the rights and privileges of the City. The warrant was accordingly recorded. The Coautom SRL/DANT then discharged an important part of his duty, by saying—" My Lords—The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs hope for the honour of your Lordship's company at dinner, at five o 'clock, in Guildhall." The Civic Procession then withdrew. JAMAS V. LADY JOHNSON. An application was made in this matter for a rule to show cause why the bail bond given by the Defendant should not be can celled. The motion was made on the affidavit of Lady Johnson, stating that she is wife of Sir William Johnson, that she was so at the time of the arrest, and that the Plaintiff must have 'known that to br the fact, u she had never represented herself to be any othef.—The Court granted a rule to show cause. In consequence of the inconvenience experienced by the King's Counsel in attending for Equity Courts sitting at the same time, they have agreed to confine themselves to particular Courts. The Souctroa-GsssaAx, Mr. Boast, Mr. Pura, Mr. KNIGHT, and Mr. Turwsr, have elected to practise in the Chancellor's and Vice- Chancellor's Courts. The two first Gentlemen will not accept motions before the Vux-Cmancsuos, and the SOLICITON Gs. 1411RAL will not take Bankrupt Petitions in either Court. Mr. BICENZITITH and Mr. Perineum' will confine themselves to the Rolls Court, and the same Counsel as hitherto remain in the Exchequer. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Wrantossiu, Nov. 9. The Lord Mayor entered the Court in the Course of the day, accompanied by several Aldermen, the Common Serjeant, and other city oiScers, and after the usual ceremony of lodging the war rant, &c. his lordship invited the Judges to dinner. The Common Serjeant acted on this occasion for the Recorder, who was pre vented from attending by indisposition of, as we understood, a se rious nature. KURRAT V. WALLIS AND 0711110. This was an action of false imprisonment, libel, and trover, tried at the late sittings at Guildhall. We have so recently repot ted the particulars, that it will be only necessary here to advert to the lead lag feature in the ease. It will be recollected that an inchoate con tract of partnership had been entered into between the plaintiff and I defendants for the purpose of publishing a series of maps of the roads and inland navigation of Great Britain ; and that after some tins, the defendants chose to treat the plaintiff in the character of an agent only. and upon his refusing to deliver up the subscription books, two of the defendants, Messrs. Walker and Nicholls, lodged informations betote a magistrate against him, upon which a warrant was issued, and he was apprehended on a charge of em bezzling his employers' books. He was kept in custody for two days and nights,—conveyed in handcuffs by a public stage coach a distance of forty or fifty miles; and ultimately, when taken before the Magistrate who had issued the warrant, the charge being dionissed, he was discharged. The defendants subsequently published an advertisement, in which the plaintiff was stated to stand charged with embezzlement (which was the libel complained of) ; and they also detained a trunk and writing desk belonging to him. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of X5OO damages against Messrs. Walker and Nicholls, and ac quitted Priestly, on the charge of malicious prosecution; .8300 damages on the charge of libel, against all three defendants, who bad suffered judgment to go by default, both on this ground and that of troves . , on which latter the Jury awarded further damages of Alo—ia all XlllO damages. Mr. Serjeant Cross now moved the Court for a rule, calling on the plaintiff to allow cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The learned Serjeant con tended that, inasmuch as no deed of partnership, although con templated, had been entered Into, (owing to the plaintiff's Incapa city. to consequence of being a minor, to execute one,) be was not a partner. but an agent of the defendant's, the latter were therefore juatißed, in point of law, in treating him in that charac ter, or, at all events, they might reasonably think so • and in that case there was 4 probable cause" for charging him wit h embezzling the books of his employers, since be had refused to deliver theat up. With repect to the second ground of action, on which the Jury had awarded £3OO against all three decadent', repeated acts of publi cation by one defendant had been given in evidence against them all, and the Jury. therefore, although suffering judgment to go by default, was an admission of publication, ought nevertheless to have been told to makes distinction in-favour in those two against whom no pruof of publication had been gived beyond the mere acknow ledgment oh the record. The CUOILT said they woukl.tako time to consider the question; but intimated to Mr. Sergeant !llde. that ee the dent,amle, seemed very large. it might be advisable for the plainti ff to settle the inst. Set by accepting a smaller sum. 1/It. Sergeant WILDE promised to have the intimation of the Court communicated to his client. COOKS A. LAW. This was an action of libel tried before 111 r. Justice Gamin at the last Sue: Assizes. The plaintiff, it appeared, having gone to Bury St. Edmund's to witness the trial of Corder for the murder of Maria Martin, stated upon his return from Colchester, that upon his going into an inn at Bury, immediately after the termina tion of the trial, be was there asked by some persons present if he was not the gentleman whe bad come down from London to hang Corder. This statement formed the foundation of a paragraph in the defendant's paper, the Colchester Gazette, beaded " A Cooke mistaken for Jack Ketch," in which the anecdote was related in s manner calculated to throw ridicule on the plaintiff, which was still heightened by some doggrel rhymes that accompanied the prose version of the affair, and which ended thus : " The stupid elves mistook him by his look; " But, instead of a Jack, be proved to be a Cooke." This was the publication of which the plaintiff complained, and the Jury awarded him £lO damages. Mr. Sergeant Jowls now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or the judg ment tad. tie contended that the proof of the defendant's being the publisher of the paper had failed, because in the affidavit lodged at the Stamp-office the publisher's name was described as E. I. Law, whereas the defendant's name was proved mho Edward John Law; and there was also a variance in the description of his place of abode. The Learned Sergeant after dwelling upon the parti cular*, in which he contended the evidence had fallen short of suf ficient proof to sustain the verdict, then argued in arrest of judg ment that the declaration was bad, ;inasmuch as matter not con tained in the libel having been introduced by way of inducement and inuende, there was no averment that the defendant published the libel of and concerning the plaintiff, " and of and concerning the said matters: , &c. the omission of which latter words, he cited cases to show, was fataL The Cuua'r was of opinion that there was no ground for arresting the judgment, but upon the first part of the application, —namely, to set aside the verdict,—their Lordships granted a Me to show cause. V. IVAN'. This was also an action of libel, which was tried in the last sit dogs at Guildhall, when there was a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £l5O. We have already reported the facts. Mr. Serjeant TADDIr to-day moved to set aside the verdict, upon the ground, among others, that the plaintiff, who bad sued in the character of steward and bailiff to the New England Company, that being a chartered company, bad not produced his appoint ment under their corporation seal, and had therefore failed to es tablish bis right to recover in that character. The COMM granted a rule to show cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday, Mr. Alderman WAITIIXAN attended at the Gilt's street Compter, to dispose of the night-charges, in order that the parties who had been apprehended in the course of Saturday eve ning and Sunday on slight charges, might not be detained in gaol till Tuesday. There were thirty-four persons in custody. George Jokn Clark, otherwise Freeman, an assistant to a news vender at Layton, in Essex, was charged with stealing a small bag of silver, amounting to £l4 45. From the evidence, it appeared that Mr. Fraser, a nurseryman at Layton, sent his man with a cart to town on Saturday, with idstructions to call at Mr. Oliver's, a grocer, in the Kingsland-road, and purchase 28Ibs. of soap, paying for the same with a check on 'Westerman' for £lB. The man overtook the prisoner on the road, ano gave him a ride to town. Mr. Oliver tied up the change for the check in two parcels, one of which contained silver to the amount above stated. These were thrown with the soap into a basket in the cart, and the man saw the parcel of silver was safe when he was at Clapton, on his return. He afterwards permitted the prisoner to ride io the cart, and when be reached home, he missed the silver. The prisoner had quitted the cart about a quarter of an mile from home, saying he should be in time for his tea ; but it appears, instead of taking his tea, he hastily inquired for the list of Sunday newspapers he was to purchase, and started instantly for town. Hills, a constable of Layton, came to town the same night, and while he was de. scribing the prisoner, about three o'clock in the morning, to Buckle, the superintendent of the watch in St. Bride's, in order that he might be secured whets he came to the News-vendor's Hall, the prisoner himself came capering along with a strumpet on each arm. Huckle overheard the prisoner remarking to the girls that he knew Hills, although 'Hills did not recognise him, and rightly conjectured he was the thief. Being secured and searched, the bag, with nearly £l3 in silver, was found on him, as also a memorandum, which Mr. Oliver had put into the bag, stating the price of the soap, and the amount of silver and copper given in change for the check.—The prisoner nude no defence. Mr. Alderman %Y.unneas having reproached him for his in gratitude to his old playfellow and neighbour (Mr. Fraser's man) committed him for trial. BOW-ST it SET. The night charges beard at this office yesterday were 43 in num ber, and engaged the undivided attention of the Magistrate, Mr. HALLS ' until near four o'clock. There was not one of the cases that possessed the slightest public interest. Two females, named Williams and Wilkinson, the former the keeper of a bagnio in White Hart-yard, and the latter one of the frail sisterhood, were charged with having robbed a foreigner named Hermann of his watch. It appeared that Mr. Hermann was walking along Fleet-street, on Saturday night, and that the prisoner Wilkinson accosted him, and finally, by her seductive powers, prevailed on him to accompany her to Williams's house, where be was compelled to pay an entrance fee of 45.; and, subse quently, to deposit his watch as a security for a sovereign, which was the sum demanded of him by Wilkinson. He was then al lowed to depart ; but having had no value received, be called to a policeman, and caused the prisoner. to be taken into custody. Vicary, the policeman, said that, on calling at the house, the pri soners at once delivered up the watch. The house was a common brothel, and filled with prostitutes and num. Mr. Hates said there had not been anything like felony in the case, but he ordered the house to be indicted, and held the prisoners to bail, the one as the keeper of a disorderly house, and the other as a disorderly woman. They were bailed out by two. Jews. iferris was charged with having been found at large in this country, contrary to a mitigated sentence which had been passed upon him. The prisoner was apprehended by Gough and Myers, two con stables, and it appeared that be had been ordered to be transported no less than three times, and on each occasion contrived to effect his escape. Sentence of death was recorded against him twice at the Croydon assizes, and it was in the neighbourhood of that town that he was now taken. He had nothing to say, and was fully committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Kemp, a man of respectable appearance, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of pictures, value 4004 and Mr. William .Seconder Malcolm, who has been in custody for upwards of a week, was charged with having Mo. niously received the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The circumstances have been on a former occasion before the public. A large quantity of pictures had been sent for Mr. Hew itson, an extensive picture dealer, to Gerrard's Hall, Basing-lane, and within ten minutes of the time they were deposited there, the prisoner Kemp produced such proofs as induced the person in whose possession they were to give them up, and the pictures had been traced into the possession of Sir. Smart, a respectable picture dealer, residing in Titchbonte-street. Joseph Hamilton, the proprietor of a horse and caravan re siding at Lower Marsh, Lambeth, stated that the prisoner Mal colm came to hint a short time since and recommended him a job, which was to move the pictures front Basing-lane. He accordingly. went on October the 17th, and he saw the other prisoner, Kemp, in Buhl-lane ; the pictures were put into his cart, and he con veyed them to Mr. Malcolm's residence. It also appeared that Malcolm applied to Sir. Smart for money upon some pictures, and Mr. S. having written to a gentleman who was was in the habit of transacting business in that way, the money was tent and the pictures left at Mr. Sean's shop. Mr. Dowling, who attended for Malcolm, inquired if the wor thy Magistrate would allow the case to stand over until Thursday, as he bad evidence to produce. 31r. ilos. with his accustomed politeness, acquiesced, and the case was ordered to stand over, but the depositions were taken. H ATTON-GARDEN. Frederick Britain and Wm, Grows, were brought up by James Paws, Police Constable No. 166, E. who stated that he, on Sun day evening, observed the prisoners follow several Gentlemen in Leicester-Aquae*, for the purpose of picking their pockets i be sew 'Groves put his hand into one person's pocket, and Britain eWeed in as if to aid. Groves was by the Magistrate ordered to be removed, while he commenced his rumination of Britain. Sir. Latin—What are you; Sir? .t Prisoner.—Sir ? Mr. Lasso.—What are you, Sir? Prisoner.—What am I, Sir; 1 am a bed-maker. Mr. 1.61116.—W,h0 do Ton work with ? Prisoner.--WhO do I work with, Sir? Mr. Lunn.—Yes, who do-you work with?

Mr. Laum—Who do you work with? rrisener—rsir— Mr. Lama—Tots shall go to the House of Correction for three months, as a reputed thief. The prisoner heard this sentence distinctly, and began to cry bitterly, exclaiming," 0, I hope not, Sir ;" bet be was imme diately removed, and Groves brought in, who had his bearing WE clently, but he was sent with Ms companion for the same term to the House of Correction. likewise as a reputed thief. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a gentleman preferred a charge against a girl called Mary Brown, for having robbed him of 14 sovereigns, on Friday morning last. The complainant, about 60 yews of age. was habited in the fashion of the times gone by: he wore a military great coat of a dark grey colour, with a high stand-up collar ; it was buttoned close up in front with a great number of large buttons, every one of which was sliver. Mr. Canons—Who are you? Complainant—A man of fortune and a landholder. Mr. Conneas—Where do you hold land? Complainant—ln both the counties of Surrey and Bssez ; I have been forman to the Grand Jury at Ryegate for the last three years ; but I shall not proceed until yin put down that paper ; a Magis trate cannot administer justice with a newspaper in his band. Mr. Comtism—l shall put down the paper, if that make any difference. Pray, Sir, have you been drinking? Complainant (with great indigstation)--What is that to you, Sir ? lam perfectly sober now. Mr. Commies —Takeaway this person; I shall not listen to his absurdities until he is sober. The complainant was then removed. Shortly afterwards it was intimated that be was, as he stated, a man of large fortune. The complainant was then re-called, and stated that, on Thursday night, be met with a friend in the Artichoke Tavern, with whom he remained in conversation, and was not re aware when they sepa rated - that it was past midnight • ' being a r e to disturb the persons where he had lodgings inHalf.asooss-street, he was about to look for a bed elsewhere, when be was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him to accompany her home : be told her that the days of amorous youth from him bad long since led, but he would feel obliged to her if she would take him to a lodging-house. The pri soner took him to one, and he was shown into a bed-chamber : when he was in bed, the prisoner came and laid down beside him. " But," said the old gentleman, I desired not the grati fi cation of carnal feelings ; I was in want of which that repose age and in firmity require; I bade her berm ; she refused : overcome with fatigue, I fell asleep." When the complainant awoke in the morning, be found that his pockets had been riled, and that the prisoner bad absconded. He immediately gave information of the circumstance to Pople, who apprehended the prisoner in a well known flash-house in Kent-street. The prisoner was then dis playing a quantity of ornaments, which she bad been purchasing at a silversmith's in the Borough Pople heard her boasting that she had done the old-tars. The prisoner was fully committed. Psis,. WORSHIP-STREKT. A journeyman weaver, named Benjamin Richardson, was charged before Mr. Bennett with embezzling three looms' work of silk, containing about 180 yards, two of them the property of Messrs. Duff and Brooks, and the other belonging to Mr. Lynn. The Foreman of Messrs. Duff and Brooks proved the delivery of the two looms' work to the prisoner. Hanky and Eagle., two officers, stated that on Friday last they went to the prisoner's house, and saw two holes in the shutten, which appeared to have been done by a centre-bit, a small iron ring was attached to one of the shutters near the holes which fastened them when shut. The prisoner told them the ring had been lifted up through the boles, the shut ten opened. and the thieves got in at the window. The offi cers said this was impossible from the peculiar situation in which they found the window. A quantity of dust was lying about the window sill, which appeared to have been undisturbed Joe at least a month, and must have been partly wiped off if any person bad got in at the window, and the holes in the shutters were not large enough to admit a person's finger through. The prisoner also stated to them that he and his wife went out to see some friends, and left the work all safe in care of their son, a lad about 15 years of age. In the course of the evening the boy went out to see what o'clock it was, when some man whom he met in the street told him that the new Bethnal-green Church was on fire. He ran to the Church, and, finding it was a false alarm, returned home, and discovered the work cut ear from all the three looms, and taken away. The boy was absent about three-quarters of an hour, although he was not more than 50 yards from the Church. The prisoner was remanded. MARRIED.
