prepoasening appearance, applied to the magistrate for

Alexandra, and this man (pointing to the usher) he does not
understood it, and knows nothing about it, bat I have come
to them as understands sod knows that I was married to
the Prince of Wales and lived with him two night., and
then he left me, and now he is married to the Princess
Alexandre, while they made a subscription for me on the
Stock Exchange, and I know they have got the money. I
wrote for it, Lid here I have got the answer. They say
they would give me any pecuniary aid, and hers are the
initials "N.C.'S." Now, sir, I have come to ask you what
" meals, and whether I cannot make them give
up the money.
The magistrate told her that be would not give her
any advice., having nothing to do with the matters re-
ferred to.
The applicant said she Ind been to other police warts,
and had been referred to Bow-street. She proceeded with

was impossible to make out, except that she complained of
incivility on the part of an official in a red robe at the
Mansion-house, who she said evidently did not believe
that she was the real Princess of Wales.
The magistrate listened patiently for some time, but see-
. tog that she was not dispoeed to make an sad of her appu
cation, his worship
ultimately suggested to the usher to "
get the poor creature away."
Ultimately she left, sayieg she should go to another court.
