SINGULAR APPLICATION.

Yesterday a young woman, who described herself so the
wife of Captain Conlgloo, of Hull, ease heflare Mr. Alder-
man J. J. Smith, and asked ►is advice in the follovriog ease:
She stated that abe came to !owls, for the Aret lime in
'her lA, by her husband's ship, some asps ogo, a►d lodged
near the London Docks. One day whiles walking over
Leedom Bridge with her linsbend, they met a woman whom
he recognised and spoke to, sad who gave them so invitation
to her house, which is near St. Thomas's Hospital. Whilst
there they mentioned that they were in went of lodgings
for a day or two, on winch the woman of the house
'd}fered her services to procure them a proper place. end told
the applicant to call nest day; she did so, bee husband pro-
raising to follow her; bat after wailing all day she did
not see him, sad get quite gummy. The woman behaved
with a sort of affected kindness to bee, sad alter sumo soli-
citation prevailed upon her to stay all night. She thought
it exceedingly strange that people should be coming io sad
'oat all night, and she frequently caught an ezelainstios,
Which left too doubt is her stied of being in a de.eriptioe of
house which she had often lined of. 1g the merging
her suspicions were fully confirmed; as on inquiring for
her husband, the woman of this lafamous "des told her
she ought to thick 110 more 'bow her husband, as she could
proton a fresh one every night foe her, with the additional
littraction of a sovereign or two. Sbe treated the vile pro-
position with contempt, sod was going away, bet &and that
she was forcibly detained by tits people of the house, who
seemed perfeeity to noderstand sod miscue in each others
measures. She was terrified almost to mailastes„ with she
idea of being subjected to some brutal violegee before she
could effect her escape, when luckily a favourable opportu.
nity presented itself, ead she immediately ern away. The
procures, followed her, sod under pretence that she had
stolen a knife, searched her pockets in the streets, end
robbed her of a purse cuoisining a sum of money and some
papers beloaging to her husband.
The worthy Magistrate said the whole affair was quite
mysterious and earsordioary. The character of the boom
was well known to him, bat why a ►usbagd Aoutd choose
it as an asylum fur his wife, unless he wised to connive at
her dishogoor, he coned not esoctive:
Mrs Collision said she had since learnt that her husband
had been there frequently after her, hat that the *owls
cleated her on ~lt occasion, until he wag as length obliged
to sail for Hell, his orders being very imperative.
Mr. Alderman Storm then directed the clerk to issue the

yeeessory disuse' to Ibe parties.
