BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.

DunDrnLYsts.—An old woman, who has for
years been known to the police as • the keeper of an
infamous house of •ill-fame in a Court off Gaseoyne-
.
-street,in -which -several sailors and others have been
robbed of large sams of money. In the month of October
a person. was :robbed, And .a warrant wasi.issued for her
apprehension, but she was not caught until the previous
night when she was apprehended by • police-constable
449, to whom she admitted that she had kept the house
for upwards of twenty years, but had recently given it up.
Mr. Bluck attempted to show that no offence had been.
Committed, as the woman was not then keeping the
house, but Mr. Mansfield thought that she might have
been enjoying. the proceeds of the robberies, and as she'
kept the house at the time of the robbery, he should
order her to be committed for trial.

CAUTION TO AP HVENTICES.—A laa, named Arthur
May, was summoned -by Mr. R. C. Seraggs, a printer
and stationer,. livin?. in Renshaw-street, for having
violated the tenure of leis indenture, by absenting himself
from his,work without the consent of.'his,,ma§ter. Mr.
Clarke Aspinall, solicitor, appeared for Mr. 'Serag„ms, and
Mr. Cr? fir the gnartlians of the apprentice, In OW
• - • - -•-

ease a dispute arose between the parties under the follow-
in, circumstances : —The lad was apprenticed for six.
years (without any premium), as the indenture stated, to
learn the business of a letter-press printer, stationer, and
bookbinder, and for the first two years to go of
errands alternately with another apprentice. The
guardians of the lad complained that he was
not properly taught the letter-press printing, and,
after repeated complaints, instructed the lad to
absent himself from his employment, which he did.
Mr Scraggs was called, and, after detailing various acts
of insubordination, said that he had taught the lad all
the branches of the letter-press trade, but it was impossible-
that he could
,do the same in regard to the, stationery
unless the lad was in • the shop, where he refused to be ;
and he regretted' to say that his guardians were his
structors in his disobedient conduct. Mr. Cross admitted
that the lad had acted under the instructions of his
brother, who was a party to the indenture. Mr.
Mansfield said, there could be no doubt but the
lad was Placed in a painful situation ' • lie had his
master—to whom he was legally bound to obey—
advising him one way, and• his guardians: who should

know -better, telling him aneassisting him to act
diametrically opposite. If the difference could not be
settled, he-shOuld say that the best course that could be
pursued would be for Air. Scram°gs to sue the parties for
the indenture in the Court of Passage, when the case
could be legally settled. Mr. Aspinall said that if this
summons did not succeed, such a course would be adopted.
Sonie conversation then took place between the legal
gentlemen, but no satisfactory result could be arrived at,
until Mr. Mansfield said, under such circumstances he
had no alternative but to send the lad to gaol for four
months, because there could be no doubt but that he had
committed an offence which could not be justified. It
was then decided that the lad was to return to his cal-
ploymcnt, and act , under his master's instructions, and
obey him in all matters connected with the trade. The
then left the court,
