LA MUETII-STREET.

Rn tumult HY A SERVANT.—Yesterday a respect Ale-looking
female, named 'limit& Plumb, was. placed at the bar for final
txaminatioa, charged with having robbed her master, "Joseph
Tickell, E:ol. ale-brewer, of Castle-street, Whitechapel, and of
Clanton, of a variety of property. consisting of jewellery, spirits,
and vi euring apparel. 'l'he evidence given on the occasion was at
follows: _ . .

Mr. Tiekell mated that during the course of the last week a small
casket, in which 11Irs. T. was in the habit of keeping her trinke,s,
and a gold watch, chain, and seals, having been missed, he sent for
Foster, an officer of this establishment, to obtain his assistance in
their recovery. On his going to the house, he recommended that
the boxes and trunks• of the different domestics should be examin-
ed, a measure which they all evinced the greatest readiness to have
carried into effect, with the exception of the prisoner. Suspicions
in consequence became attached to her, and the stolen property
was subsequently recovered in the manner which would be detailed
by the other witnesses.
Hannah logeteon stated. that she was in the service of Mr.
Tichell, and that on the day the officer came to his house all the
servants were summoned to the drawing.rooro, there to be ex-
amined in his and her master's Fresetsce ; for that purpose she was
sent for the prisoner, who lets at the time in an upper apartment ;
on going up she told her she must comedown and be ex 'mined by
the oiff.er ; on this she appeared much alarmed. and said " she
was sure she could not endure it, and lilt convinced she should
faint." The wiesess then told her she saw no °citation for her to be
afraid, and that ►he had better coins down at once{ for that they
were waiting for her. :lie at length consented to accompany her,
but on their ruching the second landieg place M.° wanted to re.
turn, under pretence of procuring her purlet.liandkerehief, which
she staid she had forgotten. This, hosteler, she (witness) objected
to, and went for it herself. (Itr.her return, not finding the prisoner
where she had left her, she called severed times, but received no
answer. Seeing the bed-room of her mistress open she went in,
awl there discovered the prisoner, and afterwards observing the
bed.elothes disarranged she looked and Wpmd the missing trinkets,
together with two keys beltsnging to. the prisoner, which the
humled to the officer. _

Foster, the officer, stated, that lifter searching the boxes of the
other servants, he went with the prisoner to her mom, and asked
her for .the keys in order to examine her's ; on his rifling 50, she
put her hands in her ,pockets, as if to feel for them, but seeing two
lying in the window she took them up and handed to him as if
they were the ones he wanted • he applied them to the trunk, but
found they would pot unlock it, in consequeneeof which he asked
her where were the right keys, and she 4thsiwned that she had them
re few minutes Woes, but could not tell Worm they were ; he then
produced two keys, and asked if they belonged to her ; she replied
that they did; with these he opened the trunk, but on examining It
found nothing particular but some duplicates of shirts and other
articles pledged at a pawnbroker's on Holborn bridge, and which
she Alleged were her own property.
The servant of the pawnbroker identified the prisoner P.% the per-
son who had pawned them at his master's shop, and the housemaid
eenn.ed to their being Mr. T.'s property.
The prisoner declined offering any thing in her defence, and was
folly committed foe trial.
On her former exansisation she stated to the Magistrate that the
e ommendation on which she was hired was obtained from Mrs.
Hog'es, the lady of Dr. Hughes, one of the dignitaries of Sr.
th ugh fire years had elapsed since she had left that lady's
service ; she accounted for the mode in which she procured it, by
stati^7 that it was through the instrumentality of her aunt, who
had livrd for many yt4ars iii that family,
The Magistfite (Air. WYATT) commented in very just terms
o • the nopsortety of venoms giving such characters auto ut first
referring to the nituatlosi in which the party had last been, and

concluded by saying, that f a servant, under similar eircums snui
to the prisoner, had plundered him, he would bring an ...::,,,
against the patty recommending her, and would doubtless übt.tn a
verdict for the amount of the property stolen.

UNION 11.11. L.
BRUTAL AgeAULT.—Yetierear, a hatter, named
was brought up to this office, charged with having brutally k:eftft
and beaten his wife.
The poor wr,man, whose face, arms, and head, exhih;ted the
moat undeniable prools of gross and unmanly outrage, stated that
ever since her marriage with the defendant, she hod been et:timed
to the most cruel treatment from him. He had formed an into.
mvey with an abandoned woman, with whom hr was in the baba
of spending days to the neglect of his trade, its well as nights ; and
on his return home, after such scenes of dissiparinn, if she (eon,
plainatit) presumed to call him to account for such conduct, Le
would iststa,rtly attack her with fists precisely as he would
ore
of his own sex. The day before, he came home, after having been
: w.y the whole night, and whin she reproached him, he smirk
her a blow berween the eyes, that knocked her down, and le't t e
marks now discernible. When she was nn the ground he kir k(o
her violently in the side, and she knew he.would 4e the cause n
her death hy his brutal conduct if not inatrediately separated,
wnich was an arrangement that she heartily preyed for.
The defendant merell said that he had the misfortune to Erma
jealous wife, who fanged that he was after every woman, lie
would not deny having struck her in the face, but not with his
closed fist, neither with the violence represented. The morning
on which he vont:flitted the assault, his wife upbraided him wit',
conduct of which he was not guilty, and this led to the quarrel be.
, tween. them.
r The pour woman declared the truth of her statement in every pir,
titular, when—
The Magistrate committed the defendant to gaol in default or
procuring bail, to answer the charge at the Sessions.

mates were reined to rest, the dwelling.houses of Hobert Ander.
son. Esq. and AIN. I)svis, Nos. 7 and it, Burton-crescent. were
broken into and robbed, to a considerable amount. by a wad

key into an empty house in liaillow.street, situate (inertly at the
back of Mr. Anderson's, they proceeded along thegawiens Into the
back areas of 111 r. A. and Mrs. D. With a crow bat the thieves
broke open the kitchen doer, and with skeleton keys they opmed
every drawer, cupboard. and lock in the cellars, kitchens, and pars
lours. stripped them of their valuables, aid afterwards regaled
themselves with a bottle of white wine, and escaped with as its.
mettse booty.

Some nights since Mr. Jenkins 'a house, situate in
Rummest, was entered by thieves, who furred their way through
the kitchen-door, by making an aperture with a centre-bit. w'.l-11
allowed a baud to bet introduced for the purpose of unipolting and
unchaining the fastenings. Upon their pining this point they
proceeded up stairs, and having rifled a box containing a quantity
of plate, without alarming the inmates, escaped with their booty.
A few nights ago the house of Mr. Peci)ey, the ginger.
beer manufacturer, in the Strand, was broken into, and robbed of
a variety of property. The thieves would in all probability hone
bee, more successful had not the inmates been amused by the im-
plosion of some highly fermented spruce and ginger-beer, some
bottles of whien the plunderers were anxious to nude and regsle
themselve% with before their departure. The noise however pro.
duced by the uncorking of the beverage defeated the further irttll.
