EXTRAORDINARY CASSIE OP A YOUR°

WOMAN.

At the general quarter semaiona for the Lindsey
division of the county of Limed*, held on Friday last at
Kirton.iu-Liudoey, a your wawa., twenty-four or
twenty-nee yeses of age, was charged with
obtaiaing nine bottler of medicine and nine
mkua:es of powders from Dr. Macitinder, of Gains-
h, by imams of Lille pretecces. About a fortnight
ago the young woman, whose parent. (poor labouring peo-
ple) live at Ininholma, near Lincoln, went over to Gains.
borough en • nut to a poor woman, said to be her aunt, and
there she remained a day or two, and then took up her
quarters at • low part of the town. Very soon after her
arrival, it appears, she commenced a system of hoaxing sad
earned it on with great peneveraoce and much success for
several days. Her order' were given on every hand with the
most reckless prelusion, the articles ordered embracing
everything necessary fur the complete furnishing of a
large house. The tale she told the tradespeople was
to the effect that she hail taken a house of very
large diniensiona, and was having it fitted up in
first-Me style, preparatory to her entering into the
married stet. with 44 gentleman of groat we ilth, named
Richardsoo. The " happy event," it was represented, TM
to coin, off on an early day. Of a cabinetmaker, aimed
Hind, she ordered articles to the value of 241. 16a. 3d.
To another cabinetmaker, named Benson, she gave an
even still more extensive order, hi. hill amounting to
34/. 15.. lid. This account wee made out to " Mr. George
Rieharilerio." She patronised the drapers to a large *s-
tela, goods being ordered of Mr. Platt to the amount of
; of Mr. Moore to the amount of 12/. ; of Mows.
Emerson, Cook, and Co., to the value of 21)1. ; and others
in the same proportion. The articles embraced silk and
satin dresses, and other costly gooda. The boot and shoe-
makers awns iu fora elms of the goad fortune, boots of
pecuhar dupes being ordered of Mr. Dowell, Mr. Hands,
Mr. Hardy, Mr. Hinslinarch, Ac. An earthenware dealer,
named Chattertoo, received a large order. Of a fruiterer,
named Fish, she ordered • couple of beiderakes.
She went to a regieter office and represented that
she wanted a servant of modeet and engaging demeanour,
irreproachable character, and good alglitiee ; and after
some difficulty, • girl wag got who satisfied her. Of an
ironmonger, named Parker, she obtained on one day
coils to the amount of ISt. Its. Ild., and on another
day 11. Ils. lid. worth. The latter articles, which
she took away with her without paying for, were
two brooches, an eye-giant, • silver thimble, two
watch keys, a set of etude, two rings, end • purse. In
each of the above instaoces she stated that the good*
were to be sent down to her new house on a certain day.
The day before the period fixed, however, Parker took
the precaution to make sundry inquiries, anti the result
was the detection of a 'epistle imposition. She wee then
taken into custody, and all the many she warn found to
pumas was one penny. On Thursday last she was
charged before the magisteates, at Gainsburough, with
obtaining the goods from Parker, the ironmonger, but
the awe failed, and she was then indicted for ob-
toiMng the medicine and powders from Dr. Mackin-
der, on which charge she was committed for tea
She had represented to the doctor that she had lived
six you" with a Mr. Talent, of Harpewell, roil was
now sent by them for advice and medicine. She was to
be cured, she said, if it were possible, and Mrs. Tataen did
not care about the expense. Mr. Tatam swore that he
hail never seen the young woman Were that day, and
had never given her, *or bad his wits, stay authority to
obtain the medicines in question. It further appeared
that she had bad, on the same false pretences, four teeth
extracted. She had likewise gooe to Mr. Fairekild, Bargees,
and got other medicine. It was shown that she emu entire
stranger io the tows, although she had lived as servant to
some fanners in the neighbourhood. She was found
guilty. A question was raised as to her sanity, but no
direct evidence was given on tile matter, end she was ern.
tencesl to two months' hard labour. We (Matehister (Dear.
dole) have been informed that the young woman has been
carrying on a similar career, although not quite to the alms
extent, in several other towns In Lincolnshire.
