which they brought her up in the tenderest way possible. The mo-
ther being • great deal from home, the daughter, during her ab-
sence, for some months past, had been continually robbing them.
Among the thingsatolen were silver spoons, blankets, sheets, and
the fiat irons, the latter of which were all taken away, and pledged
at different pawnbrokers. After having committed these thefts she

the various articles. The father made every diligent search after
his daughter without success, but, a few days since, the prisoner
sent a little girl to tier parents' house, with" number of duplicates,
and stated where she was to be found. The father accordingly
went in pursuit, and discovered his daughter in the brick-fields at
Chelsea, in a most wretched condition. He brought her home, and,
after due consideration, determined to bring before his Worship, in
order to prevent, if possible, her coming to a disgraceful end.
They were afraid she had a bad connexion.
