tones, that she came from Posey, in Wiltshire, by rail the
previous day, at the request of her cousin, who lived in the
neighbourhood of Bhareditoh, to take a servant's situation,
and that being unable to discover the address of her relative
she asked the prisoner, whom she met in the street,
to direct her to some decent house where she could got a
night's lodging ; instead of doing which the woman took her
I. a place where, having accompanied her up one flight of
stairs, she snatched her bundle of clothes from her, and nu
away with them. On spin getting into the street she told
• police-constable of what had happened, and he kindly ao-
companied her in search of the primmer, whom they very

statiunent, sod added that be had also ecoeseded in finding
her combs, an appanintly hard•working person. but unable

had never seen the girl before being given into
matedy by her in the stmt., consequently that
she was wispily innossat. A oonetable said sbe was a bad

appeared truthf ; and Weed it was impossible to con-
clude any robbery bad been committed.
Mr. Leigh withdrew his promiesd bounty, and discharged
the prisoner.

LIVERPOOL.- -Tim health of Mr. Rowe, the Liverpool Bur-
gems who was so seriously maltreated by Brice sod
Soott on Saturday night, is • little improved, but the
medical men who ere attending him state that the injury
to the leg mums such general irritability and restlessness,
as materially to aggravate the danger from congestion of
the lungs. It is understood that Mr. Rows would have
given up the locket sod letter demanded by Brim, had
proper representatioes been made upon the subject, but
that Brie. was personally unknown to him, and that he
naturally refused to restore the articles under threats of
violence.
