A little interesting girl, named tilwite Bsfriars.
about IS years old, was chm gz. viith stealing a
silver spoon at the Angel Inn. St. Martin's-le- Gra:id.
It appeared she cant on Friday right to the Inn,
and took a place by the coach to go to Chesterfield,
which she paid for; that on account of her tender
years the people suffered her to stay at the fun all
night, but before she went to bed she concealed a
silver table spoon, which was found in her pocket.
Sir W. Cue r is, the sitting Alileinian, asked th::
Prisoner where she came from, and what she was
She answered that she ft.d been servant to a Mr.
Bromhill, a potter, at Chesterfield, from whicl, place
she came to London on a jewel of pl,arere, and by
herself; that she WAS a toanght in L:indon; that,
on her arrival, she met an old woman, who took her
under ha care, and intioduced her to a Mi-s Howell,
with whom she had been ever since ; dirt this Miss
Howell was on the town, and was in the hals:t of
pilfering wherever she welit, and prisoner arcim-
panied her constantly ; that at last sh: quitted the
companiot this pets n, arid was about to return to
her own counts y. She protested she was still %NAM
text, and vita rued having picked up the spoon, but
intended to restore it n..xt moiling. She further
adeed, that a man at the Isn attempied to take
liberties with her while she was in bed. this latter
fa& was contrashaed by the waiter at the Too, who
swore the chamber door bad been locked all night,
after the theft was diser veied.
The worthy A nem sista thought this a very
strange And singular case. He has, therefor:, un-
dertaken to make tl e necessary inquiries at Chester-
field, and in the mean time the girl to be kept in
custody, while search is to be made after the two
female companions she spoke of.
A Mt. Jones was suirmoneJ for reftisMg to give
a female servant a character, in consequence of
which she was deprived of the means of getting a

living.
Mr. Jones said, he had only given her the cha-
ratter she deserved—tbat of being idle, saucy, and
insolent.
The A LDE [MAN considered his coadJa justifiable,
and disini,stil the complatnt.
