in a lodging-house, and her trunlis bad been detained for
Mt. Witness allowed her servant to accompany her, and

witnees's house, and said she could go to a situation as a
governess, but abe could not accept of it, as her trunk was
detained for 19s. Witness gave her a sovereign.—Mr.

She bad represented to numerous parties that her trunks
were detained by him, and ladiesof distinction came in their
carriages to intercede for her.—Mr. Combo, alter a patient
and attentive hearing of the ease, said there could be no
doubt as to the prisoner's impositions upon the public ; but
there was no false pretence legally made out, so as to war-
rant his remanding or detaining her. It would be well if
the public were put upon their guard against her practices.

wind, and if you are not very cautious, you will be trans-
ported."—She was then discharged.—lt was stated that the
prisoner prostrated herself as above described by the influ-
