Memo Ivrea, otherwise Spier., a young person respeet.
ably attired in mournixg, was brought up un the following
charge:
Mr. Shorter, assistant clerk to the truattee of the ilaelmey
Union, Mated that towards the latter part of the Lot month
the prboollef wsa musunarily convicted at this court upon •
charge of felony, end eentenced to three menthe imprison-
ment. About a fortnight after keret:entitle' her illegitimate
child was admitted into the workhouse on the appliestion it
her teeter, who was unable to support it, and is-liners was
inetructed to as
with the prisoner at the West-
minster Bridewell to obtain information with regard to her
settlement. At the gaol he was introduced to a woman who
answered to the nano of Emma Eyrea, and alleged that she
had committed the rubbery imputed to the Ism r,
but she displayed such profound ignorance respecting
bee antecedents that an investigation was instituted,
and it appeared that while in custody at 'Worship-street
on the ilth ult., under a sentence of seven days' imprison-
ment for disorderly conduct, the prisoner Eyrea was locked
up in the same cell with a woman named Matthews, end
that they agreed to effect an exchange of their respective
terms of puniabtiont by personating each other on their
arrival at Wevtioineter Bridewell, and at the expiration of
seven day. the woman Eyres was chseharged in her assumed
name, while she (Matthews) remained to undergo the full
term of three months, allotted to the other. The woman
added that she was far advanced in pregnancy at the time,
and although the prisoner was previously a stranger to her
she "jumped at the prop vial," in order to secure better '
eat and other aid than oho had a chance of finding at her own
miserable home.

The prisoner, who had eluded pursuit until the precious
night, and now appeared to regard the whole affair as an en-
eellont practical jeke, wee recommitted to the Noun of Cor-
rection for the completion of her original sentence, with an
intimation that she had been guilty of a serious indletal, le
offence, for which she would probably hereafter be lk vertly
dealt with.

/ohm 17a11•nd, a man of respectable appearance and
address, about thirty years of ego, wee brought before Mr.
Smite, charged with embezzling various 'ems of money he
had received fir and on amount of his employer, Mr. Thome,
William Hunt, grocer and provision merchant, in High-
street Whitechapel.
It sppeared that the prisoner had been in the service of
Mr. Hunt, u town traveller, for about six months, and that
his duties were to obtain orders, revive metier, and to pay
the malt in to Mr. Hunt's (miller the evening of the day he
received it. The prisoner had neglected the latter part of his
duty in meant instances, end converted the money he re-
ceived to his own use, and expended it amongst a set of
blackguards with whom he unfortunately became connected.
The prisoner had received Si. 19s. 4d. in one awn of Mr. J.
Rogers, grocer, of No 1, Providence-street, St. George-in-
the-Rest, which he bad not accounted for, but he paid to Mr.
Hunt's cashier. on account of Mr. Rogers, U. 16s. 64. on the
10th of February, and V. Ss. Sd. on the 24th of
Panary, and entered those slues in the cosh-book. To
cover his deficiency, he directed Mr. Simpson, the cashier,
to credit Mr. Rows with two hundred-weight of sugar,
which he said was returned by that person, but which
was not the mar. Mr. Rogers paid the prisoner an-
other sum of 21. 3e. Sd. at the end of March, which had not
been accounted for. Mr. Edmund Raymond, grocer of High-
street, Holton, paid the prisoner 71. 6s. 6d. on account of
Mr. Hunt on the 6th of April. and that sum had been converted
to the prisoner's own use. There were other charges against
the prisoner, who had admitted his guilt. He received 30a.
per week salary only, without commission,
He was committed fur trial.

sister, a married woman, named Owens, of Albion-gardens,
Hsemtersmitb. Iler sister was in service, and a few days
since she gave warning, and upon being quevtioned is to the
reason, she said that she was going to settle in life, and
that she was engaged to be married to the prisoner. Her
master was aware of the prisoner being a married moo, and
told her so, but to the astonishment of all sLe stated that
she was already married to the prisoner, the ceremony haring
taken place at St. George's Church, Bloomsbury, in Febra-
ery last. The first wife was traced out, sad rho was disco-
vered in the envier of a gentleman's family at Denmark-hell!,Gesture/ell, as wet-nurse. When the prisoner was taken
info custody, he said be did not consider that his first marri-
age wee legal, se he was not eighteen years of ago when it
took place. He also said the marriage took place in a private
room, and not in a church.
Poblerocestable Sharp, of the T division, said be had seen
the young woman who was represented to be the first wife,
sad else could not attend for fear of losing her situation. She
told him that she was married to the prisoner in Canterbury,
on the 27th of March, 1853, by the Rev. Mr. Nutt. They
were to have been married in St. George's church, Canter-
W.ly, but in consequence of being too late for the train they
could not reach there in time ; but that they were afterwards
