POLICE.

--...----
111Awstost-Itoust.--Yesferday Mr. Cori*, the gentleman
charged with the assault upon the servant girl In entering the pre-
mien claimed by Mr. Yeebeke, In New Broad -street, came before
the Lord Mayor, to answer the charge. He was attended by Mr.
W. Clark, Dr. J. Mitchell, Mr. Verliekc, and a number of other
gentlemen.
A Solicitor, whose name we could not learn, attended fur Mr.
Wilke, to conduct the prosecution.
The case proved by the servant girl was In substance the same
as that stated yesterday, when she made application far a summons.
He bad, after she admitted him at the door, held her forcibly by
the wrists, and one of them was slightly scratched.
Mr. Carrie said the witness was much agitated when Assay the
two persons enter; she screamed out, and seemed likely to faint.
He held her, but not in the hostile wanner stated.
The Loan MAYO¢ said the assault had been proved, and he
ordered the defendant to find two bail, of one hundred pounds each,
to answer the charge at the Sessions.
The Solicitor who attended to conduct the prosecution. asked for
twenty-four hours' notice of bail.
The LORD MAYOR could not accede to this request. If the
object was to keep the defendant in prison, be should not listen to
it. There was no fear of his running away from such a charge

as alals.
Pr. Mitchell—Oh, my Lord, lam ready to become one of his

ball.
Mr. Verbeke tendered himself as another of the bail.
No opposition was made to them by Mr. ---, the solicitor
for the prosecution, and their bail was accepted.
Mr. Verbeke then applied to the Lord 111syor to have the swords
and pistols, and warlike munition, which had been given up to
Turnpenny, the officer, returned to hint.
The LORD Mavon said that the use of such weapons wits
&arty illegal. Indeed, persons had been so much concerned lat-
terly in joint-stock conapanitas that it seemed they almost forgot
entirely the existence of such a thing as the law. Hie Lordship
said he could not accede to the request; and directed that they
should be deposited in the Marshall's Office, until the affair was
settled elsewhere judicially.
CHARGE OF ASSAULT.
Roir-svar.m—Yesterday a shabbily-dressed young man was
brought before Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. Mtsainer.t., charged with
assaulting Wm. Davidson. a soldier on duty on what is called the
King's Guard, at Spring garden-gate.
Davidson stated, that when on ditty at the Park he received
orders not to permit any large parcels to he carried through the
Park. The defendant was about passing through the gate with a
large basket, when witness stopped hit.), and told him lie could not
suffer him to pass that way. The defendant began to abuse him,
and call him a green-horn, and a green b—. beg,
then fol-
lowed him, and calling a comrade to his assistance, seized the de-
fendant by the collar to take him hub; to his post until he could
give him in charge to an officer of police. The defendant resisted,
and at length kicked witness violently in the groin.
George Smith, another soldier of the Guards, corroborated this
statement so far as the assault went, but could not say he heard
the abusive words spoken, except the wdrd "green."
The defendant, whose clothes were much torn, declared with
great warmth that the charge was false as to the foul language im-
puted to him. He was very poor, having been three months out of
employment, and therefore assisted his wife in carrying home the
linen which she took into wash. He was going in at the gate with
his wife, carrying the basket, and was told by the complainant he
must not pass. Defendant said he had often passed before, but
would go back, and was just saying, " you am a green one," when
the complainant ran after him and seized him, calling others to his
assistance, and tore him about like a felon, notwithstanding that
lie repeatedly said he was willing to go quietly any where it they
would let him alone. Exasperated at the treatment he had re-
ceived, he certainly kicked out, but kicking the complainant in the
part described was purely accidental.
Sir R. BIRNIE said it had been sworn that that lie had Insulted
the soldier on his dirty, and afterwards kicked him, and he must
find bail. A soldier must not be insulted merely because be was a
soldier.
Defendant—Truly, Sir, and I should be the last to do it. My
father was in the Guards, and I have served an officer in the same
corps, and I should be sorry to give offence to one of them ; but
though I am poor I am not to be dragged about like a common
felon, and the only clothes I have in the world torn off my back.
The defendant was ordered to find bail ; but Sir R. Minim said
that if, upon the case being reported to the Commanding Officer,
he cemented that the soldier should accept an apology, he (Sir R.
Birnie) would not object to discharge him.
The serjeant, who came with the soldier, said he would report
the circumstances ; and there the matter rests, the defendant being
locked tip.

DARING ROBBERY.
MARLBOnOIIOI.I.STIIEET.—Yesterday James Mcrthrod, a partly
elderly man, whose exterior would pats him as the bettemtost sort
of tradesman, was brought before 51r. Cos aere for robbing Mrs.
Eleanor Guineaman, of 31, Oxford-street, of her gold watch and
appendages, which her late husband had paid to be worth thirty
guineas, but which she charge:l as worth twenty. The prisoner is a
dealer in second-hand boots and shoes, at.N0.71, Whitecross.street,
but very well known.
Mr. ADOLPHUS. with Mr. II o3IPTIIktYS, conducted the case
for the prisoner. Mr. Feet.l372 was solicitor for the prosecution.
Mrs. Guineamar. stated herself to be a widow ; that on Tuesday
last, betwt en three and four o'clock, passing along Oxford-street,
accompanied by her servant,- near the Green Man and Still, she
wns hustled into a crowd standing there by some one behind, so
that she could neither go forward nor retreat. She noticed the pri-
mmer to come in front of her and lay hold of the cape of her cloak ;
she wit very much squeezed, so much so that a silver thimble in
her pocket was bent by the pressure ; she said to him, " Pray let
me go one way or the other. ' A gentleman in the crowd, observ-
ing the way she was treated, said to her, " Take care of that man."
Directly after getting through the crowd, she put her hand to her
left hand pocket, and exclsinted, " 0 Lord I. I have lost my
watch." Suspecting the prisoner, she followed after hint and said,
" Pray give me my watch, 'tis my husband's gold watch," two or
three times. The prisoner replied to her " %'hat do you. mean ?
have no watch but my own, search me," and offered her his card.
Soon after a person came up, who got a constable. She had only
left her son's at three o'clock, and knew her watch to be safe then ;
her's was • gold hunting watch, with goldthain, three or four
seals, two rings, and two keys ; it had been her husband's. She
thought it too conspicuous to tarry in public, and carried it in her
pocket in e tittle bsg.
Richard Woodman, 32, fiathbone.place. engraver, was standing
next door to the Green Man and Still last Tuesday, waiting for a
stage-coach ; there were • number of persons collected. After
waning some time, two stages came up, which caused a consider.
able measure among the people. He observed Mrs. Guineaman
attempting to get past, and her servant following a little in the
rear. At that moment ht noticed the prisoner press himaellagainto
Mrs. Guineaman, and annoy her by laying hold of the cape of her
cloak, which he appeared to be pulling together by the points.
He was not near enough to hear what was said, but saw the pri-
soner lift up her cloak, and put his hand downwards on her right
side. Seeing this, he cautioned Mrs. Guineaman to beware of him,
thinking he was taking improper liberties with her, but did not
suspect he wax robbing her. She thanked him for his hint, and
got through. The whole transaction did not occupy more than a
few minutes. A minute or two after she returned, and he saw her
with a green purse and a bunch of keys. Witness thinks the pri-
soner heard what he said. as he left her, and went to the corner of
Argyle-street. where a man was singing ; there he stopped two or
three moments and returned towards Regent-street. As the pri.
loner passed him, witness thinks lie noticed hint. As the coach
witness was waiting for came up, he lost sight of the parties for a
few minutes. While speaking to his mother, who was going
by the Tring coach, a female came up to witness, and aid, " The
lady he had cau.ioned had been robbed of her gold wake." He
turned his head from the coach to speak to the person, and saw
the prisoner in custody. Believe* sonic others in the crowd to be
accomplices of the prisoner.
Sarah Crowley, wife of Michael Crowley, 61, Wardour-street,
smith, was standing at the corner of Argyle-street, waiting for the
Watford coach ; she was talking to her mother, when she was press-
ed backward by the crowd ; she gave a push, and observed the pri.
soner had hold of Mrs. Guineaman ; his lett arm was round her
neck ; she told him be was like a great brickbat, and ought to be
ashamed to press in that otanner ; Its replied be could not get by,
and smiled. At that moment she heard Mr. Woodman caution
Mrs. Guineaman, and soon aftet saw her purse and keys hanging
outside her pocket-hole. The prisoner then left her and went to
the corner of Argyle-street. In two or three minutes the prisoner
*turned, followed by Mrs. Guineaman. who was asking him fur
her husband's gold watch and chain ; she told the last witness that
the lady whom he had cautioned had been robbed. When Mrs:
Guineaman charged the prisoner, lie said it was false, that he bad
but his own watch—there it was, and offered her his card of ad. ,
dress. An officer came up, and the prisoner was given Into his
custody.
Alice Dempsey, servant to Mrs. Guineaman, corroborated flee'
testimony of her niistrees.
James Alexander, street-keeper, appointed by the Commissioners
of Wootls and Forests, came up itt the time Mrs. Guineaman was
accusing the prisoner of having robbed her of her watch ; he took
him Into custody and brought him to the office, where the prisoner
produced tevetal cards of address ; but the watch was not found on
him.
Mr. Aortae ova told the prisoner he wished him to understand
that he did not think It altogether regular to croita.examine wit-
nesses before Justices; he asked Mrs. Guinean= in which pocket
was her watch ; she said she had a pocket-book with sovereigns,
v.. hick she had rem ived of her son, and her watch in her left-hand
pocket ;in tier right were her purse and a bunch of keys. Mr.
Adolphus put it to Mr. 0103111, if the evidence was sufficient to
commit the prisoner ; lie remarked there was a great deal of hustling
in the crowd. The prisoner being
on her right side, and her watch
in her left pocket, he submitted, created that doubt that left it en-
tirely in the discretion of the Magistrate.
51r. Costarr T said, taking fill the circumstances into considera-
tion, he thought the facts intiliciently strong to authorize hint in
sending the primmer to a Jury. He was for several minutes about
her person, and had his hand down towards her pocket. Altogether
there louked something like confederacy. He had made up his
mind to commit hint.
The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the Old Bai-
ley, and the parties bound over to prosecute.
PAtISII LAW.
There having been severalehildres born blind in the workhouse
of St. George's parish, which the medical gentlemen have attribut.
el to the mothers being dratted in a certain way, the authorities

have come to the resolution of compelling every female about to
lie-in there to undergo a previous inspection. This regulation has
raised a very natural clamour, and been the cause of serious com-
plaint with those whose necessities compel them to accept relief in
such an extremity. Four have positively refused ; and yesterday.
I though apparently within a few days of their confinement, they
made application to the Magistrate. They were taken Into tie
private room, to await the dispersion of those on ordinary hi:sine:4,
out of delicacy to female feeling. Three of the four were not mar-
ried ; the other was; she cried bitterly, and protested vehemently,
whatever might be the consequences that tollowed, that she would

not submit. „
The Magistrate endeavoured to +tooth their feelings by explain.
ing the propriety of the measure, and stating that the medical gen-
tleman could have no idle curiosity, and would conduct himself in
that way that could not be offensive. and that he would only insist
with those on whom suspicion rested.
irhe poor women left tl.e office with the parish officer, With a
seeming determination in their own breasts not to comply with such
more than careful precaution.

RAISING THE WIND.
Illattaitzworre.—Yesterdav another charge was brought for-
ward against Capt. Jahn Coniihrll, alias James Patterson Steteart,
otherwise Simon Peter Stewart, by Mr. Francis Day, a mathema-
tical instrument-maker, living at No. 37, in the Poultry.
Some months ago this notorious character called upon Mr. Day,
for the alleged purpose of selecting some mathematical instro-
mentst he described himself as being Captain John Campbell, and
claimed affinity to 3lr. Day, who has a relative in the city of
flamburgli, named Wm. Campbell. The counterfeit Captain se-
lected a sextant, and said lie would, call tor it in a few days, and
pay for it upon delivery. Ile did call at the time appointed, but
instead of hiking the instrument, or paying for it, lie requested of
Mr. Day a loan, and offered to leave a bill of exchange as security.
because, he said, he had occasion to go to Canterbury. Mr. Day
objected to advance the sum he required, but ►ent him one pound,
and took a stamped paper, having the appearance of a bill of ex-
change, Iss security, of which the following is a copy :
•• £2O. " Chatham, 24th Jan. 1f126.
" Two months afar data pay to my order twenty pounds, for va-
lue received. " John Henderson.
"To Wm. Graham, Esq. I Genrge-st,ect, Etlinbuigh.
" Accept-d—Payable at the Bank of England, by the Bank
Royal of Scotland—Wm. Graham."
This circumstance led to further inquiry, and Mr. Day found
that his relation in Hambtirgli had also been de raudod in the year
1823 by the same party ; for then Campbell, under some pretence,
introduced himself to Mr. William Campbell. and contrived to
borrow of him 2/. Ws., for the payment of which he gave the fol-
lowing order :
" Hamburgh, July 31, 1023.
" Dear Slr,—Plcase pay to the order of Messrs. Harris and
Campbell, of this city, two pounds fourteen shillings, being a sum
due by me to them, and which it is inconvenient to pay here, as I
cannot get Messrs. Stewart and IVilson's draft discounted.—l am,
dear Sir, yours obediently, " S• P. STEWART•
" To Thos. Stilwell, Esq. Navy Agent, Aruudel-street,
•, Strand, London."
The father of Mr. William Campbell accompanied Mr. Day to
the office, and he informed Mr. Broughton, that at this time Camp.
bell, under the name of Simon Peter Stewart, hired a vessel in
Hamburgh, and he tnok her God knows where, and God knows
, what became of her, for no nne in Harnburgh ever heard of her
since. He said his son described him as having a mark upon his
, nose, which Mr. Currie, of Regent-street, said was the case with
the personage now in the Sheriff's custody ; and comparing all
circumstances, particularly the hand-writing of the documents then
, produced, he had no doubt of his identity.
Mr. BROUGHTON congratulated Mr. Day upon his not har:eg
been honoured by the Captain with:a pretended commission in the
Greek navy, and promised to let him know when his attendance
may be again necessary.
SINGULAR CASE OF BASTARDY.

ui.nALL.--Yesterday a respectable-looking man, named
Motes Maz.4, was brought up to this office, in custody, at the
instance of the parish officers of Lambeth, for refusing to pay for
the maintenance of his illegitimate child, now chargeable to the
above parish.
Mr. Pace, one of the overseers, presented a bill of 71.45. 9d. to
the defendant, saying that it was an account of the expenses in-
curred by the parish for the support of his illegitimate child.
The defendant, On t erasing the account, said that he had no
more right to par for the mainwnance of the child in questim than
any body else. The mother of it was a strumpet, and he could
prove that she was connected with different men, although she
thought proper to endeavour to saadle him with the burden.
Mr. Pace said that the female, wi:ose Panic is Mary that*. had
already sworn the defendant to be the father of the child, aid lie
should therefore submit, that if he hat: any grounds for believing
that she had committed perjury, he had his remedy by appealing
to the Sessions.
Mr. Crisp, who attended on behalf of the defendant, proposed to
put a few questions to the mother of the child, which would con-
vince the Magistrate that she was completely unworthy of belief.
The Magistrate was rather averse to this pi acceding at first, ad-
vising the case to go before the Sessions. He, however, permitted
Mr. Crisp to put the following questions to Mary Crook, with this
advice to the woman, that she was not bound to ens wer any ques-
tions that were put to her which would criminate hersei
lllary Crook said that she should not hesitate to roswer any
questions regarding the present rase, as she had already sworn to
the person whom she knew, and had a right to know, was the
fattier of her child. Her examination then commenced.
Mr. Crisp—Do you remember lit ing in the service of M.
Bucher, at Haretield ?—Yes, perfectly well.
Mr. Crisp—And were you not very intimate with a man called
Big Joe ?—1 knew such a person, but don't recollect having
been on such very intimate terms with him as you would insinuate.
Mr. Crisp—NN ill you swear that you have never had a child by
the said Big Joe ?
Mary Crisp tppenred rather confused here ; when the Magistrate
interposed, aril again intimated that bhc was not obliged to answer
the question if she did not like.
Mary Crook, however, said that she never had a child by Big
Joe.
Mr. Crisp—Then we shall leave Big Joe where he is ; and now
I shall ask you. whether yor did not live under the protection of
a butcher at Iliekmansworli ?—Never.
Mr. Crisp—What, do you deny that Cannon, the butcher, ran
away from his wile anti family to cohabit with you ?—Really these
are very queer questions to put to me. I have already sworn that
Maud is the father of the child that:l hold in my arms ; and where
is the use of talking about my former acquaintance with old Joe
or the butcher of Rickmansworth ? My intimacy with them, if it
can be so called, was long before I had this pretty little bantling by
the defendant.
Poor Maud, with uplifted hands, declared that she had more
right to palm the child upon Big Joe or the butcher at Rickman,-
worth than she had upon him, as they were on much more intimate
term', with her.
Mr. Crisp said that he could bring forward evidence to prove that
the woman was of abandoned character, and that she selected this
man as a victim because lie was married, and in rather better cir-
cumstances than her other paramours.
The Magistrate observed that the defendant had his remedy at
the Sessions if he chose to impeach the veracity of the woman. She
had sworn to hie being the father of the child, and he was therefore
bound to pay the expenses incurred by the parish for the support of
his child. _ _

The defendant accordingly paid the demand, and intimated his
intention of appealing at the Sessions.
EFFECTS OF INCONTINENCE. • -

Two women, named .10,..er and Madden, were placed at the bar
under the following circumstances :
Maisey, the night-constable of St. George's, stated that on the
previous night a person of respectability, who resides at Sheerness, 11
and who arrived in London a few nights ago, ventured into the
company of the girls at the bar, and was robbed of a purse contain-
ing 75!. Immediately subsequent to the robbery the gentleman in
question gave information of it, which led to the apprehension of
the prisoners.
Mr. thcasiDEßS—Was any of the property found in their pos-
session?
Maiscy replied in the negative, although the gentleman was
convinced they were the persons who had robbed him.
Mr. CIIAMBEIIS—Where is the gentleman ? Let him come
forward and give his evidence against these women.
Maisey said that the gentleman refused to appear, being a mar-
ried man, and apprehensive that the circumstances might reach the
cars of his family.
hlr. essamagas—Then I shall not detain these women any
longer. What are that. characters?
Maisey—They are notorious thieves as well as prostitutes; they
rob most of the men that venture into their society.
Mr. CHAMBER s—As the person who was rubbed does not think
proper to appear, the prisoners are discharged.
A CASE OF PECULIAR HARDSHIP.

TIIAMES-OFFICE.—A poor young Irishwoman, with an infant
in her arms, who gave her name Anne Kelly, requested the advice
eel assistance of Mr. BRODERIP, the Magistrate, under the fol-
lowing circumstances :--She stated that she was the wife of a
private of the 49th Regiment, stationed at the Cape of Good Hope;
that her husband had fallen into a bad state of health, and was
ordered home. She was preparing to accompany him when the
Paget Indianian touched ot the Cape. She was then applied to by
Captain Suet, the Captain of the company to which her husband
belonged, to know whether she would take charge of a child at the
breast, that was coming to England. She replied she would have
no objection, provided her husband would be with her. At that
time she had been confined with the infant which she now had in
her arms- Captain Suet told her that the infant was the child of
Captain Geary, of the Paget Indianian, whose lady was confined on
her passage out to China, and being apprehensive that the climate
would not agree with the infant, she had left it at the Cape to be
nursed. lie added that it was then ten months old; and being aware
how injurious a sea voyage might prove to a child *twin* stickling,
he proposed to her, that she should in the Paget with Captain
Geary and his Lady, and suckle their child, foe which she should
have ten guineas, to be paid on their arrival in England. On her
expressing her reluctance to be separated from her husband, who
was then preparing to sail on board the Southwark transport, and
from the superiority of sailing of the Paget over the Southwork,
she feared that the should have to wait a considerable time for the
arrival of her husband, under an expense she could not afford,
Copt. Geary undertook to support her until the arrival oilier hus.
band in the Routhwork. On crossing the line, the infant being in a
very thriving state, Captain Gcary's lady thought proper to wean
it. The Paget arrived at Gravesend on the leth of August, whcr:

she came on shore, daily awaitirg the arrival of the Scuthw
but day after day passed away without any tidings of it, and her
little mosey was expended. She since received a letter from, him
by another vessel, stating that the Suutila ark had said; but
from the state of his health he did not wish to venture in her, at
she was to touch at St. Helena, and he was afraid to erenurasr
that voyage, hut that he would sail in the next vessel which
tended to sail direct for England, but not to expect bon far
I six months, if ever. !At this part of her vary the poor woman
burst into tears, and pressed her unconscious infant el wily
to her borom.l Thus circumstanced, site knew not what to do;
and being a total 'manger in London, she thought it more prudent
to return, to Ireland, where her unfortunate situation would I e
1 kely to awaken the sympathies of her friends. To enable her 19
do so, she applied to Captain Geary for the fulfilment of hie
contract, when, to her utter astonishment, he would only fire
her 5/. instead of the ten guineas for musing, of which only
six shillings now remained, alleging, that as the child was
weaned the morning of the day buicre they crossed the line
she was not entitled to more than H. and roused to give her say
thing whatsoever for her support. Under these circumstances, she
conceived that abe was entitled to something for her maintenance.
she was, however, willing to waive h.-r claim on Captain Gesso
for support, if he would pay her the five guineas which remained
due, which was the only nee she she had to return to Ireland. or else
become a butthen to the parish. She hoped that the worthy 311.
gistrate would put her in a way of obtaining
•that which she was
honestly entitled to, observing, at the same time. teat the 'wages
were earned dearly when they were purchased at the wmatation at
her husband, whose delicate state of hei.lth required as much of her
assismnce ; at least it would be a satisfaction to her to be with him:
at his dying hour, if it were only to close his eyes. (Here the poor
woman again burst into tears.)
Mr. 11RODER r regretted that lie could not render that assiwarce
which she required. As the agreement had been made In a 1146 n

7'HE LATE CATASTROPHE AT OSTEND.

[PROM A PRIVATE LETTER. DATED SLPT•
DREADFUL SUICIDE.
In addition to the horrid details of the 19th inu. can.
tabled in my letter of yesterday's date, I have now to ac-
quaint you that the amiable wife of the Chevalier de
Bossuy, accompanied by her two daughters (accomplished
ladies, of about Is and 19 years of age), were dri';ing iu
their cabriolet, within half a mile of the arsenal, at the
moment of the explosion) when Madame Bosnia was vio-
lently struck on the right temple with a large piece of
timber, supposed to be part of the ruins of the Powder
Magazine, and killed instantaneously. The noise of the
explosion set off' the horse, a tine spirited animal,
at full speed down the hill of Fermois. Dragging
the vehicle against a heap of rubbish on the side
of the road, the two ladies were dashed out with consider..
able violence, anti the footman, who was behind the ve-
hicle, was thrown under the wheels of a diligence patairg
at the time, by which he bad both his legs broken, and was
otherwise considerably injured. On the Mademoiselles
Bossuy being taken up, in the youngest life was entirely
extinct, and the other's arm Was broken in two places, be.
sides being dreadfully braised, particularly about the head,
so as to render her recovery extremely doubtful. On the
news of this dreadful occurrence reaching the ears of a
young student, who had arrived at Ostendthe evening be-
fore from Frankfort, and who was just on the eve of lead-
ing to the altar the youngest daughter of this ill-fated
family, he immediately rushed into his apartment, at the
hotel where he was staying, and blew out his brains with
one of his travelling pistols. On his toilet was found the
following, written on the back of a letter received from his
betrothed wife :—" I cannot survive this dreadful event. I
go to meet nay Rosabelle in the realms of bliss. Adieu,
adieu, my friends. I cannot live without my adored."
This unfortunate circumstance has created the most intense
sympathy throughout the whole of this unfortunate town.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.
The whole attention of the public is directed towards the terrible
catastrophe that has befallen Ostend. The cause of it is still un.
known, but there is a malicious report in circulation, that the par.
drr tr ape ne was blown up on purpose. to bury under the ruins of
the town all the defects of construction that have been found in the
work of the fortifications, and for which, as I Informed you in one
of my former letters, several superior officers of the Corps of En.
gineirs hate been brought betbre the High Court Martial, sitting
at Utrecht. It is said that the destruction of s barrack near the
magazine. and which is newly built, was particularly in view.
—These reports, which, for the sake of humanity, must be lookers
upon as false, have been repeated by the new Journal which sp.
pe4red here on the 20th, under the vale of the Cm/sate/retract des
Pays Bas, but the writer of the article, in his next number, re-
tracted pin of his assertions. This Paper is edited by a number of
persors, French and Belgians, who have already acquired some re-
postion in political literature. I have bat to name Messrs. Tissot
