this Mike being opened, a gentlenian entered. who had been wait-
ing a very conniaerable time, and asked if a report of the examina-
tion of a man 11.3111f1a Italciar;i, which he had that morning read in
a newspaper, wet correct
blibb., the ntlie,:r, to whom he addressed himself, said he did not
Lwow ; but he had on the (decline* evening taken a man to gaol of,
the name: of Thomas Baldwin, who was to come up for another ex-
amination on u charge of felony.
The gentleman 'liked if the man was an Irishman, of healthy and
grind-looking appearance.
The officer said he believed the man was an Irishman, but biz
aprantne- wr. prior and rquslid in the extreme.
l'he gentleman said the object of his inquiry was this :--Some
years since a men named Baldwin, of the description of the pt.'.
tumor. disappeared from hit family and Mare Oars in Ireland, and
although inquiries had been made he might say in the four quar-
ters of the world after him, no tidings whatever could be obteincel
as to where he was, or what had become of him. In the course of
some time after, some of his family and relations died, and under
the impression that be still lived, a very large property wan be.
qualified him, which find sires been accuainilating ; and if an
onto, were net won found, it was likely to peas to another branch
of thosfanaily. Us (the gentleman) on reading the police reports that

111011111 W, was 'trick with the possibility of the man there described
being the irlemiesl person so loci missing; he therefore requested
permission to see him.
The officer replied he hoped it would turn out so ; the men wee
in liferkenwell Prison, and w.. coining up fur re•examination

The Gentleman asked some questions respecting him, and from
the answers met be was convinced he had at length found the long
lost obrect of Ina search. lle went away with the view of makir.g
further inquiries. The man Baldwin was committed on suspicion
of stealing a sovereign; when taken, lie was sweeping a crossing in
Orford-street, and was In a most deplorable condition.
Any Show, servant to Mr. Abbott, butcher, of James-street, was
brought up nn a warrant, charged with a desperate assault upon
George Skillicora, s journeyman in her master's employ.
It appeared the young man, whose face was cut, and indeed scored
like pork, had hatlsome quarrel with her in the kitchen, and no very
delicate expressions were used ea either made ; she plunged at °
him with a case-knife and two forks, the prongs of entered
his Acs lust Isekm the left eye ; hail it been a quarter of an inch
higher, lie would have lost that organ of sight ; the knife indicted a
desperate cut under the es:.
Mr. liawt.traost observed that it was a very serious ease, and
assumed* higher complexion than that of common assault.

1 he defendant expressed her contrition, and declared she would
never do so again.
Mr. il•IILIXIMX-11011, extremely fortunate you are that yen
are not now standiog accused of murder, as that since blow, bad it
not been for the intervention of Providence, might have proved
fatal • at any rate you have marked biro for life.
Coonpiastaans—if will make it up, air, if she promises not to do
the like again, and pays the expenses ; she is my fellow-servant,
and I will not be too hard.

Mr. Rawl.' 111011t—Thc expenees are trifling compared with the
injury. Have you consulted an► doctor?
t:oniplisinant—Nut I ; so as I have not lost my rrecinus sight. I
don't nand the wounds a button; if she begs my pardon and comes
to tents. I am satisfied.

The girl, gladly--1 will indeed, pay all expenses, arid tux the
wounds, and never du the like egain, George.

Mr. ItAWLINSOX—W ell, if yor He satisfied, there is an end to
it, young man ; but I must nay you arc very forbearing. I must,
linweviv, have the girl's recognizance. to keep the peace.
lizvmg complied with this, and paid the expenses. she quitted
the office with Cieurge, evidently as good friends as if nothing had
happened.
