Welch was recalled, and is reply to a question pit to him,
he stated that while passing down Baker sweet with the
primmer she (prisoner) said, "I have got the handker-
chiefs, but I had no intention of stealing them."
Yr. Broughton—Was that after having denied that she
was in Mr. Mosle's shop ?
Witness—Yes, sir.
Mr. Fell, chief clerk—You did not state in your previous
examination that the prisoner observed she did not intend
to steal the handkerchiefs ?
Witnese—l believe I did.

Mr. Herring—Nto you did not.
Mr. Fell—Dyes had, I sat sure it would have been down
is my minutes.
This closing the evidence for the prosecution,
Mr. Ballantine observed that it became his duty, ea the
part of the defendant, to offer a few remarks, and that he
did am mess to deal with the ease as if it ern a matter for a
jury. He did not think that the evidence was of that cha-
riots, that called upon him (Kr. Broughton). to send the
sharp to another court. It was an inquiry that had
suited the most painful feelings in him, seeing the position
of the lady at the bar, and knowing the affection that
was manifested towards her by Dr. Ruasbotham, her hus-
band. What hiduseenents were there for her to commit the
offence with which she was charged ? She was the wife of
a gentleman of the highest eminence in his profession, and
the grief that had been brought upon his family was such
that he (Mr. Sallaatine) was almost prevented from con-
ducting the defence properly. He again said,what motive
could she have for a robbery ? She was in the enjoyment
of every lousy, and she had the means in her power to
parches, the trumpery article that she was charged with
having Mika. Look at the circumstances. While she was
Ia the gimp she gave her address. Was that the act of a
person whijnesoded to commit a felony ? Then else re-
maimed them while the bill fer the lining was Wag made
out. She paid the bill, and directed where the article
should be mat to. Thu other handkerchiefs were shown
to her, whisk were of a superior descriptios. It further
appearedi apes evidence given that day, and which was not
given on a former occasion, that she stated upon the inter-
view with the shopmaa in Baker-street, that she did not
'Mead to steal the handkerchiefs. He wain» that if, in
the consideration of this ease, his afloat could with any
propriety be discharged, that she would receive the benefit
of any doubt in her favour. The question in all cases of
flrand is se to the intention of those charged with a felony.
There were two oonstruetioas to be placed upon such a
charge—first, as to the intentim ; sad then to the peesibi-
lily that the property was taken without any intention to
Meal. Ought not the more merciful view to by
taken of the case ? Loekiag at the position of the parties,
sesiag that she had no inducement to commit the act, he
mold say, was there enough to warrant the magistrate in
'Wag that it was a ease which ought to be sent for trial to
another court? He felt snared that when she appeared be-
Sere a jury of tradesmen, they would not consider that she
had summitesi a crime in this ease. On the contrary, be
thaagh eta meall time safely out of the ordeal. The
keeled esamsel, is a lengthened address, alluded to what
he maideeed • great impropriety with regard to the pri-
mate loin compelled to lift up her veil, and thereby
szprimg herself to the gaze of every one in a mat which
we. densely crowded by parties who had been attracted
there through curiosity not at all creditable to them, in
order to look spas a lady whose state of mind in her situa-
tion was distressing in the extreme.
Mr. Broughton, in reference to the last remark of the
learned counsel, said he hoped he should live to see
the time when a court of jostles would not be looked apes
as an open court, whether a party charged was in a MO eft
poor condition of life. (Applause was hem manifested to wow
extent, bat it was speedily repressed by the officers.) The
to added that, since the report of the former pro-
bed phial publicity, he had resolved several
Wm% the writer of au of which says—" I have read with
helms el dm grads* disgust the report is the papers. A
pike feud wee never meant for the purpose of receiving
seidsftle agabill respectable people." Toe writer further
said that he was a friend of Lord Palenentou, and that he
(the magistrate) would be sore to suffer if he dared to send
Mrs. Ramsbothani for trial. Mr. ?docile had also received
letters from parties stating that they should opus to deal
with him if he was so blind to his own interest es to go on
with the case. One of the letters he had received contained
a tion that the affair might be compromised by coc-
a sum of 1001. to the Middlesex Hospital.
Mr. time thought it highly improper that Mr.
should have read or referred to any such trash as
litigaglibieb he (Mr. Broughton) had alluded.
Mr. Bromallma—lt is highly improper that ouch letters
should be seat by any one pending an inquiry. Often it is
the case that letters of such a description have been read
publicly in court, by judges at the circuit, and at other law
marts. Mr. Brought**, after some further observations
maid that he mild not, consistently with the oath he haci
taken as a ssegleleate to deal oat justice fairly and hither-
dilly, cams' to the liberation of the prisoner. Only
that day be 'seat two females for trial who were

Praise to them to call them back from the cell, and at

olates which had been adduced against her, she must go
beim a jury for trial. He regretted exteediLgly that a
lady her position of life was in such a situation as to
"impel him to adopt that coarse, but he would take the
Noe he he did before, via. 2,0001, for her being forth-
emits to answer the charge at the next Westminster
