John Garner, a beadle, proved that when he apprehended the prisoner on the present charge he was living with his first wife and three children. The Jury retufned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner wan *27 years of age, and, like the last, had nothing to bout of on the score of persoual appearance. The girl whom be last married, on the contrary, possessed a very interesting countenance. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 15. Before FRANCIS CONS?, Esq. The Court was occupied the early part of the day in hearing appeals against orders of removal, and convictions under various penal statutes, but no cue except the following occurred worthy of notice. THE SILK TRADE. This was art appeal entered by John Parker, of No. 2, York. street, Bethnal.green, against • conviction by two Magistrates, under the statute of 17 !leo. 111., cap. b 6, directing him to pay a penalty of 201., for having a quantity of silk in his possession, and not being able to give a satisfactory account of the manner by which he became possessed of it. Mr. Adoxenus was retained to sustain the conviction, and Mr. ANDREWS and Mr. BRODERICK appeared on behalf of the ap pellant. r - - that owing to the very great facilities given to persons `v extensive silk manutactories in and about the me. embezzle the raw material, and the ready F disposing of it to these who, calculating e exists in the way of detection, venture is dishonest species of traffic, considerable d made on the property of the manufacturer. it seems, are articles almost Imporsi ' a long time, presented a formidable and conviction of offender!; sill at provided a remedy by passing the Act of Sri, which empowers two magistrates, upon them, that it is suspected a quantity of silk purloined, or embezzled, is secreted upon irldual, to issue their warrant to search the t any such silk being so found, to summon n whose possession it is, to give an account It he became possesse d of it ; and in case be able to give a satisfactory account of It, the silk should be forfeited, and the ma. power to convict the person in a sum of ' , C, for the second, and 401. for the third, one moiety thereof to go to the in. , to the poor of the parish, or to such .ity 1 magistrate should direct. appelkur. _ according to the modern phraseology, an ope- rative silk weaver, but instead of pursuing his calling, he has for • long while been a dealer in raw and wrought silk. Mr. Wilson, a very respectable silk manufacturer in the Old Jewry, having sustain ed considerable losses from time to time by the depredations of the persons employed by him, and from certain causes suspecting that Mr. John Parker, the operative, wet a person of that description, who did not scruple to purchase the silk of any one, from any body, obtained a search warrant, and, together with the officers of Hattomgarden police establishment, went to No. 9,, York -street, Bethnal-green. and there found in a room, not having the external resemblance of a shop, though it contained a counter and other appurtenances necessary to the carrying on of a .sag and retired business. Under the counter were found several drawers, full of silk, and in another part of the house a large quantity of in digo and ostrich feathers. Mr. Wilson, however, not being able to identity any of these things, was undecided whether to take them away or not ; until presently a female came in and asked Parker for an ounce and a half of silk, which he told her he could not then let her have. This circumstance excited sus. pinion, and it was determined to worth the rest individual alto 'should enter. A few minutes only had elapsed before another wo. man showed herself, and on being asked who elle was, Parker 'said, " Oh, she is a woman who winds silk for me." Oat, of the officers then searched her, and found on her • person a• night-cap filled with silk. He said to Parker, as this woman is your winder, or course you can tell me what coloured silk this is she has got here ? I Parker then said, she is not my winder. Mr. Wilson upon this turned room? to Parker, and told him that he must now prepare to give an account for ell the silk that was in his possession ; and that gentleman with the officers immediately took the silk and Parker before the Magistrates. A subsequent day was appointed for Parker to bring forward his witnesses, to show by what means the silk tame into his possession ; but, when that day arrived, Parker was not able to give a satisfactory account to the Magistrates, and was therefore convicted in the penalty of 20!., and the silk ordered to be forfeited. Against this COOVit:i011 the present appeal had been made. - - Just as Mr. ArsoLrtatus was shout to open the case, Mr.,01111)1IEWS rose, and said It might save the titre of the Couit If hewere ndrito state an (rheostat, which ha coozeivad would altogether dispou of the case. Ile argued at great length, that the conviction bong grounded upon the 10th section ot the statute, It ought to setfurth the predate words of that section : thin, however, was not the case, and for that reason he contended that the conviction was bad. Mr. BRODERICK followed, and occupied a very considerable portion of the time of the Court in going through the various sec., none of the act of Par:lament, and then the comments and °biter rations made thereon by the late Mr. Evans, who was at one time 1 a magistrate of Manchester, and afterwards appointed to a Judg ship at Bombay ; and arguing front thew, that the form of coo. Oaten was defective, and could not, consequently, be sustained. The Court would not snow Mr. Adolphus to reply, being antis.! fled that theobjection was net a valid one. Mr. Bacintarcx then submitted, that as the Act gave the Ma. gisirates a discretionary power as to the disposal of one moiety of ' the conviction, it being either to be paid to the poor of the parish, into some public charity, as they should direct, It was therefore) essential that this discretion should appear to hoe been exercised ; but upon the Asce of the record of the conviction itself no such thing did appear; and for that reason he contended the conviction ' was bad. The CHAIRXAI4 asked Mr. Adolphus what answer he eatrld give to this "r It was an objection that at present struck hits to have considerable weight t.for, it the Act dial hive a discrettunavy power. it certainly was necessary Mat that discretion shoals' be exercised. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that by disuse in the late Police Act, h MIS directed, ►hat where a part only i 4 the penalty we. to go to the informer, and the other part to the pn.•r of tha parish, or to any 0! her person at the discretion of the lliagistrate, instead of such pan being paid at the diNcretioa of the Magistrate. it 'hoard ?we the futon, be paid to the Receiver-General of the county, for the uses specified in the Act ; so that in truth the discretionary power given by the 17th Geo. 111. chap. LG, had been taken away by thin latter statute. The CHAIRMAN referred to the Act, and, haring read it, held that the eonatruelion of it was as the beamed Commit had mu ted. Mt. BRODERICK argued that the 17th or Gee. 111. was parti cularly excepted out of the operation of the Pollee Act, which only applied to cares where part of the penalty was to be paid to the parish, and not la those casts where there was an alternative lett • -4118 . . with.tim Magistrste to direct its being paid to other patios" .At all events he hoped the Court would reetrve the point. The Cita' Rlf AN refused to do so, ,bserving, that he mold pot possibly conceive how any point could le raised upon so obvious an enactment. These preliminary objections havingthus been dispewc . 4 of, Mr. AnoLviens called his sinuous, whose testimony confirmed tbe•matement above made:- Bad, in addition, weat to show that the silk found in the appellant's.posertsion was oot.at all in that state which a regular Manufacturer would keep It. Silk that ought to be on warp bobbins was wound on shoo% and that which (Mould properly have betel on shoot, was wound on warps. Other bobbins had, considerably more silk upon them than it wee usual Or even possible to have for the purpose of manufacture, Amidst dna quantity of siik, amounting nearly to 40Ibs. *eight, there were Kandy two bobbins of it precisely of the same odour; the various hues of the rainbow, rf mismati. caddy reflected twenty-fold, would not outvie in splendour the ' nere.show (as the Learned Counsel called it) that was displayed upon the table of the Court. Mr. IVrison, in his evidence, slated that It was tie custom of persoas in the silk trade to hare all their bobbins marked with their Initials, but most of those found at Parker's had the names of. other persons obliterated by Parker's owo initials being three or four times burnt in upon the Tit• dare. t• al witnesses (all of the very lowest grade in Society) came turd on behalf of the appellant. One or two testified to their hierfng sold Parker some silk in a raw and undyed 'state, and they could rot therefore sneak to the silk then before them being any part of what they had sold him. One of the wit. mean, however, mid the silk then in Court was en a proper state for fancy trimming weavers, though be confessed he was not at all acquainted with the operative part of weaving, and had only been connected with the silk trade as a dealer foi about two years. A deer also stated,. than the bad dyed silk for Parker, but he could only select about seven or eight out of the seventy or eighty different eokiitte that were put before hint, as corresponding wit those he had dyed far tit appellant. • Two or three poor woven were likewise called, who said they had wound silk for Parker. The Corwr obsemed, dolt this evidence certainly did not seem material; that the silk had been dyed, and that it had been wound was obvious erough. for midi was the present state of it. The question was, was this silk that which the appellant purchased of the first two of his witpersee ? Mr. ASt DRIWS then multi two or three bills of parcels, which he mid applied to ail the-sollitioat was Wand at his client's by the officers. This was contradicted by the testimony of Mr.Wiison, who said the bills of parcels mentioned only. two sorts of silk, whereas there were a great irony different sorts then before the Court. 'Plie Co A terra": and that the case remained precisely the same as it was before the first witness for the appellant etas enamired. The question was wish him, whether he ought is have heard the appellant's witnesses at all. He was glad he had done so, because, that die man.taight not goaway and say that he had rot been fairly teemed; but in point of law. that Court, he conceived, ought, hi justice to the Magistrates Who had convicted, to have heard only the evidence width was eddueed before them. and upon which their conviction was grounded. The appellant had had five days given' bin by the Magistrates to produce all that testimony, which, as it , now appeared, was then upon toe spot, and as available to hint at I that period as now. There was no doubt that all this silk had been dyed ard wound by innssomebod but was it in that condition which ammo and brierefidedealer ilk would keep s it ; or, wan it in such a state as to justify the suspicion that it was not.hooestly come by ? If such evidence as that whiehthe appellant bad just offered were to be adnitted, the same evidence would ggto cover the possession of thousands of pounds worth of silk, for these was nothing to prevent the same loose testimony being equally applica- I hie to any other ease es to this. lie thought, upon the whole. I that the Magistrates were tight in their decision, and that the Court could no: alter it. The convictioe, therefore, must be con. firmed. Mr. A DOLPFULTS hoped that the Court would Consider this as • case entitling the respondents to costs. The Citatustaw thoorht the appellant ought to pay the costs. If he would pui the parties to the trouble of attending at that teurt.to hear evidence which he might have produced elsewhere, he must pay the et penses incident to such a course of proceeding. THE UNRULY APPHETICE. The petition of Benjamin Smith, of Judd.street, Brunswick. square, in the county of 311d,llesex. engraver, alleging divers very grievous complaints against his apprentice, Witham Theodore Gordon, the son of Lewis Theodore Gordon, an officer in his Ma jesty's navy, and praying to be heard toucbirg the same, was read, by the Clerk of the Pence ; at the conclusion whereof, Mr. Ben-1 jamin Smith presented himself to the Court. This gentleman being duly sworn, was desired to state his complaint. His manner. figure, and preluding, were all M such ao original stamp, that the auditory, despite the solemnity of the occasion, could not restrain the convulsive movement of those muscles which are so peculiarly susceptible of excitivion at the sight of anything that is .Panay ; for truly funny was Mr. Smith, both in person and in speech. The sum and substance of Mr. Smith's complaint—f;)T It would re quire three of our columns, •at few, to give a reasonable sketch of his voluminous catalogue of weighty charges against the poor wight, who stool like a reed shaken by the wind before him—the sum and substance was this :—That the young Theodore was in January. ISA, placed with him on trial for a fortnight, to ascertain whether the profession of an engraver was suited to his capability and taste; that at the end of the fortnight Mr. Smith told the father that his sen did not evince a fondness for the profession t to which the father replied—O. I dare say he will do; you had better take him--and forthwith P. 1. Of lOW. were paid to Mr. Smith, and the father covenanted with am that his son should he a good and ndthfuf • uppestethea tOn--isim (Mr. Smith), for seven years, to leant tea ase at% mystery of an engravei The youth entered on his task, but, sooth to say, although his own father had, under hand and seal, covenanted that he should demean himself a s a good and faithful apprentice ought to do, yet, without the fear of an action of covenant before his eyes, he did not obey the lawful dictates of his master, nor did he, in sad truth, repose him self seven nights in each and every week on the bed or mattress of his said master, but, with a tenant disposition, he absented himself from time to time, for the whole night together, sleeping, as it may be, where he ought not to sleep, and being there for certes he ought not to he. On divers errands he was sometimes sent by his' said muter, but still so true to his own perversity, instead of going and coming as a good and lawful apprentice ought to do, he returned with fictions; for in honest plainness of speech he never went at all ; and then, sometimes the reproof of his master would be such that the wayward Theodore would say I do not like my profession, and rather than. serve cut my apprenticeship to it I would prefer transportation. But he forgot that his father core nanted that he should serve for seven years. At length he ab sented himself for a period, nod not being to be found Mr. Smith communed with his father, and had hand-bills printed and placarded. Some person, of N 0.23, Little, Bell-alley, called on Mr. Smith, and surmised that he knew of the lost young man ; finally it was disco. vered that he had been twereted under the disguise of his sister's petti coats. It was rumoured indeed that he had slept in brick fields, and had in other ways become the vagabond apprentice; but Mr. Smith had discovered that this was only the invention ofan enemy, for it was under the maternal wing of his mother (living, it should be noted, not with his father) that the young Theodore had sheltered him. self. The young man returned tremblingly to Judd -street, and • there a t'onsultation was had as to lt,w he should be treated. Mr. Sergeant Sellon (an awful annunciation) was to be consulted, and forthwith the young man was brought before him, but that worthy magistrate despaired of making any impression on his mind, and withheld his counsel. The youth agaia returned, and again disobeyed. At this stage Mr. Smith took from Ms pocket a small memoran. slum book, in which he entered daily (for they happened daily) the taulta and vices of this truant boy but the Chairman thought enough had beta said, and requested that the young man might be heard. Itlr. Smith—Of coarse, Sir. I feel warmly (putting his hand to his heart), and when I do an, I speak with warmth. The CMAIRMAX—Yrou seine.) a 11017 proper zeal. 31r. Smith—l only wish the young man to know his duty uan apprentice, and to be taught that he must obey my dictates, and I will do my duty towards him. The young man then came forward. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, Sir, you hove been accused of very Wt. proper conduct ; what have you to say to it ? Apprentice—l am prepared to deny many of the facts. The CLIAIRMAN—YOI/ have step: out of the house, have you not? Apprentice—Yes, Sir. The CITAIII If AN -‘l . tit , that is a fact. ,&spoptig;—Nr. is a very harsh and severs master ; and the reason whit sreprmFortteltottse wasOrseariae, his lad. at lull of vermin. At this moment, Itlr. Smith, the father of the boy, and his brother (a gentleman abOut 26 years of age) all spoke together. Mr. Smith very warittly--andeed the whole of his conduct evinced an extreme degree of warmth—zeal the Chairman called it), denied that bats (for the word was used) ever congregated in hie linen. The feeler spoke of his son as a di‘grate to him, and pointed at his ragged shoes to prove it. The Apprendee—Why, if I came home to you, you would not give ma any others. The Brother—Sir, may Ibe allowed to speak. This (pointing to the youth) is a very ill-used young man, and his master is a very immoral mitn. (111 r. ADOLPITS'I here said 0 ! yea, I dare say. One accuses hint of bap, ar.d ...other of Immorality.) . The brother conti9ucd—and besides, he is not qualified to teach hintthe profet.sion. The Carats laAN.—liti this person he sworn. Being was hskell what he was?. The Bother.—l ant a commercial traveller, stn come up to Lon don tft protect my brother. The CHAIIMAW.—Why here is his father. The Brother—His father is a very tyrannical man, and the poor boy eras frightened to denth, and attaid to to il:mplain to his father, who had threstehed to brat his d--tl soul through the partition, upon'tha complaint of Air. Smith. Another apprentice (ors journeyman) of Mr. Sinidt's came for wind to corroborate what the. youth had said as to Mr. Smith's temper, anti the filth of his bedding. The Cm at IIIIAN—WhO is Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith--1 have ilied in the same house for the !rat two and thirty yeara, and em the (adopt tradesman from turnpike to turn pike. The Father then edtheased the Bench in severe terms against the bor. The Brother appealed to the Bench for the boy. The .latter protested hia earnest wish to have him reclaimed. The CHAIIIIILN said tiomething must he done with him, and finally sentenced him to solitary conlinentestior one month. The apprentice then came forward, and said. " May I be al. lored to t‘peak ? " Mr. Sthlih is a very cruel tyrannical roan ; as an instance of this I sill mention to you one eifeumstanCe. some , plates (as we understood the young man) were injured, and he came up to me and asked who did it. I told him I did not know. lie then immediately swore at me, and struck the twice on the bead. I afterwards spoke to some of my fellow apprentic es about it, and they told me that Mr. Smith did it himself. I then took an opportunity to say, • Why, air, you did this,' and he immedi. eel) , Hew into a passion, and accused some one else of it. Mesides, Sir, I have no taste for the profession. My talents are not equal to it, and I shall never be master of it. And to show how impos sible it was for me to complain to my father. Mr. Smith once told rne that my father was coming to knock my d —.4 Soul through the partition. The father, colouring up. begged to explain how this was. Be said, Mr. Smith came to him one day, and as they were in she parlour together, he told him so much of the ill conduct of his son, that he did exclaim, " d— n him, I will beat his d—d head off;" and this was conveyed from his house to Islington ( where Mrs. Gordon lives), and from thence to the boy at Judd street. Here Mr. Smith began to be very earnest. lie pulled forth se veral crayons and other drawings by the young man. showed them round the Court, and said that a young man who could do like that, proved he had a talent for the profession, if he would but apply it. A gentleman then came forward, and said lie had placed a son of lits with Mr. Cnith, of whose professional .abilities he was perfectly assured, or he should not have intrusted his child to him. . . . . 111 r. Smith—Yes, and I can show what that lad (pointing to a` boy about 14 or 15 years old) can do. The COVRT, adhering to its farmer judgment, directed the officer to take the young man into custody, and to let him be kept in solitary confinement for one month. If he evinced a conscien tiousness of his error before that time, and his •matter was willing to receive him again, it was signified that he might do so. Mr. I.:mith again declared, that he had no wish beyond that of having the young man made sensible that lie was bound to obey his dictates, and if he would become a good apprentice every thing should be done to make him comfortable. The parties then left the Court. The above is but a very faint statement of the scene that was ex hibited by these persons. Every variety of passion sunned to be called into play. The master, an old man, who, as he said of him self, felt wcrnaly—we should say glowingly—the father, from whose eyes the tear now and anon was seen to start, though the rougher passions were visibly marked in his countenance ; the elder brother, indignant at the ill-treatment (as he conceived) his paunger brother was receiving. ; the youth himself, apparently unmarred, renting on the protection afforded him by his senior brother, and, if we mis. take not, there was a sinter's heart beating for him, and cheering him noir and then with a word of comfort in his ear—all these characters were at once before us, in their own real and unsophisti cated forms, developing without restraint each his peculiar trait, and displaying in the coup a subject worthy the pencil of a master. Sergeant SEttoX asked' the young irowtAn what tfonld %deice her to conduct herself in such a manner, after all the humanity which had been shown her ; in fact, she was like a " spoiled child." The prisoner, with great pertness, replied, that she did not wish to go to a parish, and mix with beggars; she'd prefer going to prison. Mr. Montague then addressed the Magistrate. He observed, that as one of the managers of the institution he happened to be pre. sent when the prisoner excited this disturbance, and that it *se most prejudicial to their interests to have those riotous scenes about the office, attended with such false charges. On the same mom. ing (in proof of the humane feeling of the society), he himself h a d collected ten pounds among his friends for a distressed family. The prisoner, in spite of every remonstrance and advice to return to her parish, still persevered in preferring a prison, to which 44 was committed at length in default of bail. MARLBOROUGH-BTREET, SEPT. 111.—James Warrvv, a*. lor, and Eleanor, his wife, who have been several days in cemxly upon a charge of starving and otherwise ill.treatin g t h e d aug h ter of the male prisoner, a girl about fifteen years of age, and instigsting her to commit various acts of felony, were brought up for final es. aminat ion. The girl, who is very intelligent for her age, repeated her Armee statements respecting the prisoners' conduct towards her. m a " particular evidence as to ore robbery she had committed in the shoo " of Mr. Shoolbred, a linen-draper, in Tottenham Court road. The pawnbrokers with whom she had pledged the goods at, tended and confirmed her testimony ; but neither Mr. Shoolbred nor his shopman could identify the articles stolen. The Magistrate said, that the prisoners had very asnowly escaped the charge of felony for the present ; but for their barbarous anti inhuman treatment of the child, of which there was abundant proof, they could be indicted by the parish, and he would take good care that they should be, as far as his representation went, unlent they promised to give the child entirely up to the aunt, who was very properly inclined to save her from ruin, and engage ne ver js go near or interfere with either of them. The indictment would still be hanging over the prisoners, and the moment that he Ohs Magistrate) should hear of their again molesting the girl, that mo. ment he would apply to the parish to indict them. The prisoners promised that they never would ; and, on this un. derstanding, they were discharged, and the little girl given up to her aunt. APPREHENSION OF " MOTHER TURPIN." QUEEN-SQUARE, SEPT. 15.—This woman, the mother to the notorious Jack Turpin, who was sentenced to transportation for life at the Old Bailey Sessions, has at length fallen into the hod s of justice. She is known by many aliases, but from the infamous career site, and indeed the whole (Whet family, have run in Weis, minster, she is called ‘• Mother Turpin,"—the name of her t,, husband, but since his death she has been living with a man named Watts, under which name she now passes. To attempt to describe the infamy of the Turpin family would be almost impossible. Suffice it to say, thatithey were the chiefs of a very extensive gang of robbers, principally consisting of boys, who were enticed Rum the laths of honesty, and initiated in the art of plunder by this hope ess family, whose residence was the depot for the stolen property. Notwithstanding the fate of her unfortunate son, which it might be expected would have acted as an example to the test of the family, his mother still continued to carry on her old calling, and kept a fence (receptacle fur plunder) in New Tothill-street ; and so sys. tematical was she in her nefarious traffic, that the of found it impossible to detect bet, so as to bring her within the pale of the law. The charge now preferred against her Is for feloniously receiving a clock, the property of one James Sullivan, well knowing it to be stolen. Sullivan stated, that he is - employed at the Westminster gas. works, and lives in Johnson's -court, Peter street. Unfortunate)) for him, his two sons, boys about twelve or thirteen years of age, bad by some means joined a gang of juvenile thieves, and their depredations were very extensive. One of his boys, a short time since, obtained a situation in the family of 111 r. link, the surgeon, and was there but a few days when he robbed the house of a quantity of plate, which has never been found, and he bad since learned that it had been taken to Turpin's, where it was purchased, and the gang shared the spoil. That boy is now in the Marks Society. His other boy, John Sullivan, is just as bad as bis bro. ther, and all endeavours, mild and harsh, to reclaim him, prove ineffectual. His inclination fur stealing is so great, that lie never went into a have but what he deprived it of something, for which he always found a market at the Turpins'. On Monday last his wife was obliged to go out in the morning to work, and hit the key of the apartment with the boy. On his coming home in the even. ing the key was given to him by a neighbour, with whom it hat been left, and on going into the room lie found that a new clock, that cost only the week before 21. 6s. had been stolen. Suspicion at once fell on his son, who was no where to be found, but in the evening he-was met on Westminster-bridge and brought home, atd when challenged with the robbery he at once admitted it, and said that he had sold it at Turpin's, to Mother Turpin, for 3e.! Wit. ness took the boy, and it man named Welsh, immediately to the prisoner's house in New Tothill-street. Sbe was at home; and ow being asked if she had not bought a clock of the boy then present that day, she declared solemnly she had not, nor 'id she ever ate the boy before in all her life. Witness insisted she bad, and swore positively he would have it back again, as his son had rubbed him of it; upon which she said to the boy, " Whet a rascal you must be to rob your father : when you sold me the clock, you told we you had found it on the step of a door near the Marsh-gate." Here the prisoner put her hands together, and cried, Oh you talk man, I told you that he said he found it in a gentlemau't passage near the Marsh-gate, and not on the step of a dour." Sullivan continued.—lle declared the clock he would have and b would pay her back the money she had given fo r it. lira which she said the block was INA then in the hodse, but, If he would would wait till the morning, it should be all riett, as it ihould be sent home, ant; she introduced pen and ink to take down his address. One of her sons then interfered, and said that he supposed 113011ty would do just as well as the clock and said he would give him a sovereign to let the business drop. Witness told him he wanted no money, but he would have his property. The prisoner then said— " I'll give you any money if you'll take no further steps; I 'am a lone woman, and have been in a deal of trouble for the last nine months, and I wish I had never Wen the d—d shop." She then took out her purse, and pulled out some sovereigns, which sin offered to witness. Prisoner—lt is false t I took a sixmce out of my purse to este the children to get some supper. lou demanded 51. of me cut prosecute—you know you did. %Vitness still refused to take the money, and, finding all her et. tempts to induce him to take it were useless, she paced the room is a state of agitation, and went into fits. Witness waited fur soma time, and at length went away upon a promise that the cl,,rk should be sent home in the morning, but he had never seen it from that time to this. IVelsh, the man who accompanied the prosecutor to the prisoner' house, bore testimony to what he stated in every partieulta: and the boy who stole the clock said that he had sold it to the prisoner for three shillings, and that he told her at the time he had picked it apnear the Alarsh-gate. • Magistrate to theboy—Pray, Sir, was any person with you when you sold the clock ? Boy—Yes. Sir, there was another boy with me, natred Judge, and I gave hint half the money ; but he was not with me *ben 1 took it out of the room ; he was waiting outside for me. Mother Turpin on being called-on for her defence, declared meet solemnly that all that had been said against her wan false; she never admitted buying the clock ; she recollected the boys bringing it to her for sale, but she would not buy it for fear they had stolen it, as the boy Sullivan said he had found it in a gentleman's passage. near the Marsh gate, Lambeth ; I told them, if they did not bead, I would kick them out of the shop. The boy here said, you know you sent the other boy out dile shon first, while you paid me the money. The prisoner stoutly denied purchasing the clock. - • , . .. The Magistrate said that as the clock was not produced, it onl► rested upon the testimony of the principal, therefore, as there sas another boy with him when he sold it, he should like to have his evidence before he sent the case before a Jury. The prisoners were then remanded for further esamiosneo, the boy as the principal, and :nether Turpin, alias Watts, ss the receiver. 81/ RGLA RI Es.--Two were committed during irednegli! night, the one at Mr. Robinson's, Harvey.terrace, Somers.tom and the other in Seymour-street, contiguous. The thieves gots small quantity of plate, a time piece, and some linen ; from Nt• Robinson's, and at the other house, Mr. Paschall's, they we re sorbed by a boy in the house s and decamped, leaving their Sooty packed up. Suic Ins.—A young woman of the name of Billingiont , a servant out of place and pregnant, took a quantity of oxalic acid , a part of which - was found in a cup in her apartment yestrnig morning, in Bird.4treet, Oxford-street. She was found a core in the evening by Margaret Coulson, who slept with her. MOO is supposed to have been the cause of the suicide. BIRTHS. On Tuesday last, at Hampstead, the wife of Thos.

Ilatn, a watch and clock maker, residing in Skinner-street, Snowhill, appeared to a summons ob tained against him by a Mr. APAlpin, to show cause why he Il legally detained a gold watch lift with him to repair. From the very wording of the summons it was obviOus, as no felony was ; charged, that the Magistrate could have no cognizance ; but this. sort of experimental summons, as it it occasionally termed, is by no means unfrequent at the police offices. The complainant, a lad about sixteen years of age (a very re spectable-looking man, his father, atternled with him), stated that he left a small gold watch at Mr. Ham's, to be repaired, about three weeks ago, and on his calling for it subsequently, was told by a ehopman that it was finished, but not timed, and that he believed Mr. Ham had it in his pocket for the purpose of regulating it. On his second call he saw Mr. Ham himself, who, after inquiring if it was not a gold watch, said, why I delivered it to you myself the other day. and you paid me five shillings for the repairs. This he positively denied at the time, and Mr. 11am being equally positive that he had delivered it, and consequently refusing to make ny compensation whatever, recourse had been had to the Magistrate. Mr. 11am allowed having received the watch in question, but peraisted that he had himself delivered it to the complainant. Un fortunately. however. for him he had no witness to prove that fact, all his man bring absent at their dinner when the com plainant called and received his watch. He could, however, pro duce what he considered might be thought conclusive evidence of the fact, nevertheless. He had, on an average, upwards of 1400 watches through his hands to be repaired every year, and it was, therefore, n y to keep an accurate account respecting them. His mode of business was to enter the job when it was taken in; to mark it off when delivered, and by whom delivered ,• it was also the practice for all monies received for jobs to be paid over to the foreman, who regularly accounted for the amount. Now, by re ference to his books, It would appear that a particular number was affixed to this job, that that number was masked off, as having been delivered by himself to the complainant, and his foreman was now present to prove that on his return from dinner he found upon his bench the Ss. received for this job, together with the ticket of its number, and that he entered the amount in the usual way in his accounts, and seuled with him (Mr. IL) at the end of the week, according to their invariable custom. The book alluded to was here handed to the Alderman, who in- Infected it, and found the entries as stated by Mr. Ham, and the foreman corroborated his master's account as to his receiving and accounting for the money. Mr. Alderman Thou* said, that as a Magistrate lie had no authority to make any order in such a case as this. Them must be some mistake somewhere, and he should have been happy if by his interference an amicable arrangement between the parties could have been effected ; but where there WAS Patch positive and conflicting testimony, he feared that was not to Ise ibcpected. The complainant's only remedy was by an action at law, and the sum mons was accordingly discharged. lIATTON-OARDEN, SEPT. 15.—Anne Mahoney, an Irish lady. was brought up to this office this morning, charged by Watson, a watchman. with being found repeatedly last night loitering in the passages of different houses in the neighbourhood of Saffron-hill, which induced the said watchman to " suspect her, by virtue of his office," to be there for no good purpose; he therefore took her into custody, and was now proceeding to specify as much, when the fair captive, who seemed extremely anxious that the defence should be entered into before the accusation, made the office ring with " Flue your wortchip, hear sac," in the tones of a speaking trumpet. In vain did the court-keeper hint that this was not the usual mode of arrangement. Her tongue, she observed, was " her own sure;" but, to do her justice, she felt inclined to give every body else the benefit of it. A partial cessation being, however, at length obtained, Mr. Sergeant Sr t.r.ors seized the opportunity to ask her how she could account for being so constantly found on other people's premises ? to which she replied, that " not having the maws" to pay " her riot," she had been most uneeremoniou. ly ejects! by her late landlord from her lodgings, although a single sixpence would have covered the alleged &Alt ; as to the frequency of her wander- Ings, they were those of the watchman's imagination, that " blessed blackguard," as she somewhat uncourteously designated him, never having set eyes upon her before •`in all his born days." She had now, she added, got another residence; but when asked to describe the precise quarter in which it was situated, her geo sraphical knowledge appeared to be rather of the smallest, as she was utterly unable to lay down its longitude or latitude, or indeed to recollect the number of the house. Apprehending that this ex traordinary lapse of memory might proceed from a flutter which had so evidently deranged her nervous system. his Worship ordered her to be locked up till returning composure should bring with it added recollection. A lady then made her appearance before his Worship, charging a wiserable-looking being with a gross violation of her bed, by pawning her blankets. The fair complainant was not altogether unknown at this office, having for some time been known in the neighbourhood of West_ street, us " accommodating half a dozen young gentlewomen with board and lodging," as Dame Quickly hu it; to which net of disioterested liberality the ill-natured world had affixed precisely the same unpleasant suspicions as heretofore vexed the soul of Polders hostess, and in all probability with quite as little founds. tion. dfary Ann Lund, the prisoner, was one of these protegees of Mrs. Budget Helen Hooch (the loose fish abore-mentiooed,) but from her appearance evidently not one of the highest cute, and wishing probably to Show somewhat a more swelling port Than her weak means could furnish," she had borrowed the blankets in question, in order to obtain those means and appliances of bravery so desirable for ladies of her profeasinn. This she did not deny ; but it appearing that the Abbadessa bad knowingly and not tint' -, uentl- - :ted her fair anfre(ll....fitr permits mbistlsa•with bsw.lsalseatokstrtff,ter purposes of temporary accommodation, and the prisoner, wThile she' ad-' nutted that she was not of the number so favoured, stating that she had been led away by the influence of example, she was, on expressing her contrition, and promisirg " dry restitution," dis charged, with a recommendation not thus in future to imitate her betters ' and with a caution similar in effect to the one implied in the pithy question of the poet, ` An quioticunque licit Maecenas tequoque carom cat Tanto dissimileat et Canto certare minoretu ?"

She was rescued from a state of prostitution by them, and through the instrumentality of the so ciety she was placed in the 31agdalert asylum. She remained there for two years, when she quitted it without sanction, and again came and claimed support from the society. Site was then placed in a lodging provided by the society for decent young women, to prevent cnnounination of morals, and every exertion was made to procure the means of subsistence. She was supplied with needle. work from some of the first families, but she-was quite indifferent to any kind of honest industry. The society could not therefore any longer give her countenance, and referred her case to tic of ficers of the parish of Kensington, which is her lef al settlement.
