Lug about to the different city establishments. r.Yi nre

tit as offices, and, where nu one happens to be ia at the
time, laying her hands upon anything within her reach. It
wee preyed that the prisoner had stolen a coat from the
sins Of • gentleman named Lynch, in Ormechumb-street,
ask
_no doubt believing that she was suspected, she eon-
the coat under a door mat. Under another mat in
themes building there were found twenty keys, calculated
to ipso almost any lock, and there was every mew to be-
llow that thus keys had been placed there by the primmer.
Anthony Monger, a very useful officer belonging to the
City detective police, stated that from the inquiries he bad
made respecting the prisoner, he had reason to believe that
she bed been carrying on a most extensive system of plunder
of this description, and he was prepared with evidence to
establish two other mess against her.
Hers charge' were gone into, and it was proved that a
Yes-piece that had been stolen from a gentleman named
Avtli,, has of at No. 1, Lime-street...game, had been

Mr. Mason solicitor of Furnival's•inn. appeared for Mr.
Thompson, and Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of Mrs.
AMison.

At the outset of the proceedings a suggestion was made
that, inasmuch as the matter in dispute wen not at all of a
public character, it would be much better that the parties
should arrange it among themselves. Mr. Humphreys es-
premed his willingness to adopt this course, but Mr. Mason,
on the part of his client, declined to sanction such a pro-
ceeding.
The cue was then partially gone into, and it a
that Mn. Allmon had lived with Mr. Thompson's=
for some years as his wife ; but they had separated, and
aux.e the separation she bad been in the habit of going to
the office where Mr. Thompson is employed, in Lower
Thamesetniet, and also to his private residence at Bow,
inquiring for "her husband" as she called his brother.
On the day named in the summons it appeared that she had
followed the complainant to the milway.station in Fen.
church.street, and gave him in charge, at first for murder,
and subsequently for an assault.
The Lord Mayor, during the hearing of the case, several
times @amend au opinion that it would be much better
f:renztbot Zanies to come im some terms, and ate
and it was
that both the summonses should over for
