WORSHIP-STREET.

Elizabeth woman, about 17 years of
age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ingham, charged by
her late master, Mr. Richard Thompson, residing in Pros-
pect-place, Bethnal-green, with the felonious abduction of
one of his children—a boy two years old, and also with
having robbed him of two half sovereigns.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner bad lived for
about six months in his service, and bad always conducted
herself in a satisfactory manner until the morning of Mon-
day gut, when she left home for a short walk with one of
his children, but n returned, and shortly after her de-
larture it was discovered that a drawer in his bed-room be-
onging to his wife had been forced open, and that two half
sovereigns had been abstracted from it. The remainder of
the day was occupied by himself and his wife in an anxious
search for their erring child, for the recovery of whom
they despatched nessengen in every direction, but were un-
able to eigair nay tidings respecting it, and remained in a
state of Mum alarm and agitation until the preceding
altramos when the little fellow was at length brought
hose by a penis who had shortly before discovered him
sitting unattended and crying bitterly at the door of a
house in the Hackney-road. A few hews after the restore-
tion of the child, the riseur's father arrived at his house

only been a short time with him when she absconded in
the night, and after leading a disgraceful life about the
streets, he at length traced her to a distant workhouse, in
which she had obtained shelter as a casual pauper.
The prisoner, who had listened to her father's statement
with an air of callous indifference, here exclaimed that she
would not have left her home if she had been properly
treated, but that her father had married a second wife, who
was in the habit of subjecting her to frequent ill usage.
On being asked if she wished to say anything in answer
to the charge, the prisoner sullenly shook her head, and
maintained an obstinate silence. She was then remanded.

Mr. Laical sundae' Met be worship had the powe: to
dispose of the monkey, ad said be know of an instance
where Mr. Hardwick had disposed of a monkey s e expert
is tricks that its owner w not part with it for 1001.
This mode of punishing the owners of these monkeys was
in his (Mr. Lucioni's) opinion an excellent check to their
being exhibited in the puMie streets.
Mr. Norton doubted whether the law gave him any such
power, and therefore he should not exercise it. In both
the instances it was admitted that the monkey had been
tossed sad struck before it had attempted to bite the parties,
and therefore some little allowance should be made for it.
The parties injured had their remedy against the owner of
the monkey, and he should therefore dismiss the prisoner
with this intimation that If brought before him again he
should be severely punished.
The unfortunate fellow rushed from the dock hugging his
mush

THAMES.
Richard Duckett, a retired tradesman, was charged with
threatening to cut the throat of his wife, Susan, at their
residence, No.ll, Bencroft-place, Mile•end road.
The complainant stated that she was in dread of her life.
Her husband had threatened to cut her throat.
Mr. Yardley—What is the cause of the contention be-
tween you ?
Defendant—Because I won't consent to be a Letter-day
Saint. (Loud laughter.) Thedefendant continued—She said
to me the other day, " Unless you are baptised into the
dierch of the Latter-day Saints, your .oul will be lost."
I said "If you bother me about your infer-
nal religion I'll cut your throat." The next
evening, as I was walking down the Mile-end-
road to take the air, I was accosted by a stout portable-
looking man, who said, "Is your name Duckett I"
to which I replied it was. He then asked me to have
a pint of beer, to which I assented, although my usual
