WESTMINSTER.
♦ 0.1.N0 OF BWINDLI2II.
A lady requested Mr. Arsold's advice under the following

ctrcumstances
She stated that • gentleman took • handsome house for
two years, in Stanley-street. Pimlico, a considerable portion
of which time is unexpired. As his profession required that
he should remove to another part of town, he underlet the
house to some other parties, who brought a few shabby arti-
cles of furniture last week and took pouesaion. To appli-
eant's mortification she discovered that her house had fallen
into the company of • gang of swindlers, who were moving
about from pleas to place under different names, and
absconding after they had plundered all the tradesmen
in the neighbourhood.
Mr. Arnold said that that was the tradesmen's own fault,
from being foolish enough to trait strangers.
Applicant said her object was to inquire how to get rid of
such lodgers. She wished to know whether she should be
justified in " burning them out."
Mr. Arnold thought not ; but recommended her to apply
immediately to a solicitor.

Sarah Bailey, ea old returned transport, and Elisabeth
Barsky, a miserable-looking female, was brought before Mr.
at'Beokett for final ezamin•ti^n, charged with stealing a
great omit, the property of George Henry Sutton, • sea-
faring man, ender the following circumstances :
The primer (a thorough specimen of the British tar)
stated that he belonged to • vessel mostly chartered to
emu goods to the army in the Crimea, and a little before
aim o'clock on )&o•day morning he was proceeding along
Blackman•street to the London Docks, when he saw the two
old females sitting on the step of a door. Perceiving their
deplorable setts he took them into • public-house close by,
and gave them some bread and cheese, and after that
some gin.
Mr. A'Beckett observed that gin was not • proper
thing to give starving people, he had muck better have
given them tea or coffee.
Jack replied that gin was old women's drink, and
_ __

they liked it he gave it them. (Laughter.) However they
i had only a little drop, and while they were eating their
bread and cheese he put his coat on the table while he
went into the yard, and on his return a minute or two
afterwards, he missed both the prisoners and his
coat. From information he received of the landlord of the
house, he went out in pursuit of them, and overtook them
is the Mint, when he found his oast in the possession of
Bailey. He would not have locked them up or appeared at the
court to charge them, had he not eonsidered it very esr
grateful on their part. They were worse than Rumbas.
(Laughter.) He, however, did not wish to prosecute them,
as his vessel tailed on Monday for the Crimea.
Mr. A'Beekett inquired whether the prlscners were
known.
A constable of the division dated that Bailey was a
very old thief. She had been transported for fourteen
years, and was liberated some time ago. Since then she
had frequently committed petty depredAions. Horsley
associated with her, but had never been previously con-
victed.
Mr. A'Beckett uid he should discharge Henley; but as
for Bailey, there could be no doubt she stole the coat ;
thereat* he should commit her to the House of Correction
for two mouths, with hard labour.
