I . ~1 MOW beteg, Iwbe a single gremon, and new redditin 1116' Willtibmos Willt• she was delivered of this id 1100111 1 1 two month' dace. The following curious cross•egandnation then took Ow by Mr. Hill, he having previously submitted that be could skate the credit of her testimony daring this erase egantisetion.—She stated Iseraelf to be a single w° and her same is Hannah White, which name she ret= since her hirth, with the exception of a short time, when, being in a state of pregnancy, she represented her name to lie Jarvis, wishing to be thought a married woman. This was the only time she passed by another name; she never was known by the name of Williams, nor bad she went by that name. She had seen Mr. Parkias for the lint time in Hyde Park, and she meld not say how many times site had seen him, She had walked with him about this time twelvemonths • she saw him on one of the even ings of last August, between 8 and 9 o'clock, In Hyde Park, towards Kensiegion Gardens; she could not recol lect the date of the month; she was la service, and was not in the habit of picking up gentlemen. bit. Pa. kiss had given his hone, on which he was riding, to his ser vant,and walked away with her; she had told any person that it was on the day of the Queen's funeral; she did not recollect being told by the parochial officers of St. Margaret's, Westminster, that she was unworthy of credit. In mower to some questions from the magistrate, she said that she only went by the mama of Jarvis is consequence of her being pregnant. Mr. Hill them observed, he could clearly prove that the young woman was totally unworthy of credit ; lie could deny her statement to her time, and that too from the evidence of respectable witnesses. The learned solicitor was about to call his witnesses, when Mr. Poking said, he wished to examine the witness, and is answer to several of his questions, she replied, her father lived in Lissom-grove, anti was stained White, and now goes by the name of Wiliams ; site is named White, and was brought I'rom Westminster to Mary Itbolie palish. Mr. Hill, aim a very short conversation, pi uceeded to call his witnesses, to disprove Hannah White's story. Mrs. Simmons, • lady residing in Si. Martin's Church yard, being called and gismo, stated, she had known the dentate who bad lived in her horse for about three weeks; she, on coming iu, tepresented lieinelf as • milled wo man, Several gentleineu had called ou her, and she pointed out a man, who appeared about thirty years of age, as her husband. She said lie would protect her, and punish those who Moulted her. The wifeless only knew her by the tome of Jessie, which name she said was her hinbands's ; about six ntotiths since all this happened.— The witness bad known Jarvis call several lilacs, and in consequence of some unpleasant circ 1111 l malice§ attending the young wuniati's residence at witness's 110114 e, she was obliged to leave it. She Soice that time had seen the itn lant, and the young woman said, " Don't you think it is very like Jim vis."—Tbe witness seei n g the child to ho of a dark complexion, replied—" Yes it is ; but why do you want to swear it to Mr. Parkins y''—She replied, Why, he is better able to support it than pour Jarvis, who Is only a poor clerk." Cross-examined.—Hattori' White told her she had seen Jarvis, and also had mentioned where he lived, and what was Isis situation. She bad seen him at her house as late as nine o'clock, and has heard liiin call when she was in bed. The first night Ilimuili White came to her house, Jarvis came and claimed her an his wife. ; they certainly had the appearance then of man and wife. Site (witness) never knew of any maul renal ll ill g with the prisoner all night. Jarvis had, at one time, entered witness's bed room, and not seeing the witness said, " Well, Miss Han nah." The witness then cawing forward, he begged her pardon, mintiest, himself by saying that he thought be was in Mrs. Jervis's room. Witness then detailed the names and descriptions of I gentlemen who had called on Hammitt White while she lodged in winiess's house. Hainaut' White was then called and re-examined. She said it was her brotheis that had called on her; she dud not know any person named Jarvis; all that the other witness had stated was false. Her brother lives with her father at Lissoei-grove. After some consultation it was agreed that her brother should be sent for, in order to be confronted with Mrs. Simmons. Alter • very great delay a young man was brought in, and Mrs. S. declared he was uut the person. This was denied by the young woman, who said several other persons had called use her. Another lung discussion most immaterial, followed. Mr. Grillithe then said. this case was easily deteimined on; the matter rested mtirely upon the young WONWI'6 credit, and that mast be shaken to make say alteration in his decision ; if it it was as she stated, a case for the levying of the orders was made out • the mystery of her nut going is her own name was clearly made out ; she did not wish her situation to be made knowo, sod i.OIII one Of two circumstruces during the ;vvesti wimp, her testimony might be shekto ; as to the fact of her being called on by the name of ° Miss ilrensh," that did sot look like her being married, aid ficiut r'l the circemstroces he should consider that by meaning +Fs case to the sessions, the justice of it would be met io every shape. There due credit would be given to his testimony, and the cue would be die. Posed of. limier ell these c.-cutostances, be certainly was for baking the orders. Mr. Itaw!idien was of the sear opt-ion. :Le case at the sessions v... 41 of by colapeleut autuos.ty, that of a higher tribeval. Mr. Pr-6.0 was ni , "7lg to abide by the decision of t'te magistrates. The prrochn officer then put in his hill of charges for the expences iscr-red, r a 1 and that the highest clam tor weekly allows ice was :is. but the pe..sh would trite the sus of 4s. per week. Mr. Prrkins then entered into the usual recognizant:es. to 8 1Ttur at the sessions. He should dispute there all t►e cases, t*en the expence.. The Magistrates node the order on him for 4s. per week.— Ile ponies then gritted the nice. UNION HALL. Caroline Slee, a girl of about 19 years of ao, was charged with having stolen a quantity of household linen. The search which took place for the linen, led to the discovery of another odence, which is likely to produce More serious consequences. The prisoner Via; only servant to Mr. Ford, of Nine Elms, antersea. Some days ago a quantity of linen was missed. An application was wade at tile office for a search-warrant, winch was placed in the hands of an officer. When he told her his business, and that lie wished to put his bands into her pocket.. to alcerv,itt nhethcr site had the linos, she said it was impossible • • - 771" - TUE NATIONAL that she eoold easy a bundle of linen In her pocket, still she would nos permit any man to search her. He seised her by the waist, and entleavowred to pull her pockets off. She scratched and beat him in the arms and hands, but at last he succeeded. In one of the pockets was a red morocco pocket-book, which contained some papers. amongst which was a check on a banking-house to the amount of 961. Nothing was found upon her to lead to the discovery of the linen ; but the desperate defence she made was accounted for by the sudden and unex pected appearance of the check.—The officer proceeded to search her trunks, in which he found some of the pit:pert) , which had been missed, consisting of some old towels, blue, Sec. Sec. When she was brought before the magistrate, Mr. Ford stated, with reference to the scented charge, that he had occasion to draw a check sivoit his bankers, Messrs. Dorien and Co. for 961. in favour of a MI Dixon, and enclose it , o a Mr. Hayes, of Dock:lead, Bermondsey. The check was dated.

The check had not come to hand, anti inquiries were made at the pow-office, the banking-house, and other places, without effect. The prisoner said mat she had unfortnnately permit. ted the child, which she carried in her arms, to play with the letter, which became so torn and, blotted t•tat she was ashamed to put it into the post office or return it to her master. The unfortunate yo►ng woman, who was about 'o be marrieti to a decent tradesman . and who had b een tn• Sunday called id church, was hilly rnflimited.
