7NN ,- poitce. ROW STREET. Bautsega-Ovetcts.—On T lay last. Isaac New. Says very stylishly (tressed peisowige, galling himself slut proprietor of the " Westminster Central NI art for supplying families with servants, and servants with aim snow," (in plain English, a register-office), was brought up on sigurrant, charged with-'" unlawfully, know. inlay, and designedly, by false pretences, obtaining from one Jane Nugent the sum of sewn shillings, with intent tociaeat and defraud her thereof." Jane Nugent, a very respectable looking young wo. swan, slated, It at she was the daughter of a schoolmaster as Plymouth, and had raided until lately with her fa ther; but being obliged by circumstances to seek her own livelihood, she came to London to reside with y . some frienos until she could procure reputable employ ment. Ott the gh of December she was passing &Irma the Strand, when she saw outside of the window of the defendant's office, at the curlier of Sontliampino-street, an immense sunderh of placards. advertising situations vacant, and among the rest was, " A Laity's Maid Wanted." I3eing desirous of procuring such a situation, she went in and inquired respecting it, but was informed that, before any ertestions could be answered, she must pay 7s. At the same time a paper was handed to her, containing the rates of payment, which were upon a graduated seal., according to the nature of the situations sought for. For this 7s. she was entitled to remain on their book, fur 14 days. " !Int," said the witness, " will you send me to a situation r 0 yes, you may rely upon that; we will send you to one directly," was the reply. When she had paid the money, she was desired to wait alum Luly St. John, who, she was informed, was to immediate want of a lady's maid. Site did so ; but was surprised to hear from her ladyship that she wanted a servant of all.work, and not a lady's maid. She declined to accept of such an employment, and she was next seat to a Mr. fsloore's. at Clotherwell, where she was informed that Ito lady's maid was wanted, Inn that they were lookingout for a servant who would undertake to do the washing for nine children, and other household work. Unwilling to continue idle, site agreed to take this situation, but her hiends were sure site would he unequil to the labour, and would not permit her to go. She was next sent to a house where a sery girl was wanted, and the 14 days expired without a single silos. than of the kind stipulated fur 'mina offered to her. She was told she had tio further business at the office. The prosecutrix, during her statement, was incessantly intermit ed by Newton, who appeared to posses.; no or dinary share of that quality which, is denominated Iran. The Magistrate exerted all his authority to keep hint quiet, but it was impossible. When called noon to answer the charge, began! he knew very littie about this individual case, as Mrs. Newton, his spouse, rib, or better half, whichever his Worship pleased, managed all he ladles. The Nlagistrate said he was the responsible person. Newton, with a confident air, assured his Worship there was no ground for this charge, none whatever.— The fact was; the thing had been done in the regular way and the young woman had been sent to places, but would not accept of them. Servants placed themselves ender his care, and he sent them to situations; but then if they did not suit thent toe mile, they would have them. Then they wanted to hare their money back; that was refused, and away they ran 10 a martisarate,and he was (Imaged up, and his mode of doing business, and the names of his customers, exposed the 'text day in the Newspapers. This was confoundedly hard, and he hoped if any gentlemen connected with the press were present, they would refrain from mentioning arames. Air. Minshull —You sent this girl to places, it is true, but not to such as you stipulated to immure for her; not in one instance. . _ Newion.—Sly dea► Sir, there you fall into a common error; we do not undertake o procure situatieste. Mr. Minshull.—For what purpose, then, do you re. cries these fees Newton.—Merely, Sir, to give those who pay, the chance of obtaining situations through our office. Mr. 111inshull.—You had a notice at your window that a lady's maid was wanted; this young woman paid 7s. to he sent to such a situation, and yens have not sent her to a single person who wanted such a servant. Newton.—She had no character for a lady's maid's place, never having been in such a situation. Mr. Minshull.-...Tlien, knowing that, wby did you take her money. and why do von not return it now I' Newton.—Oh dear me, no, Sir, that is quite impossi ble; we never return fees. Mr. Niinslttill..-1 must tell you, Sir, that I consider you to have obtained ys. from this young woman under fake pretences. an.l I shall hold you to lad. Newton.—Dear ane,Sir, it is very odd you shoold take such a view of the case. I assure you we conduct our business as fairly as we can, and we supply some of the first families in the I inedom with sertants. I wish, Sir, y ou co u ld comprehend our mode of doing business. Mr. Alinshnll —lndeed I comprehend it perfectly well. An office like yours, if conducted with strict pro bity, may be useful, but otherwise it becomes a public nuisance. Lures are held out to an industrious but very poor class of persona, who spend their money In the hope of procuring employment, and are pries ously disap pointed. Newton was held to hail. himself in 201., and two sureties in 101. each, to answer the charge of fraud at the sessions. A few days ago. the Rev. M. Preston buried a child, iu lihrffid.l. of whose family the following particulars may be mentioned :—Mr. Preston chri.tened the and its father; he married its fattier and mother; mar lied its grandfather and grandmother; married its treat grandfather and great grandmother; and married its great aunt. He also buried its great undcle and aunt; buried its great grandfather and great grandmother; and buried its grandfather and gnadutuartr. ••••••• ..
