THE BRITISH PRESS.

years of age, and whose extreme simplicity and modesty of de-
meanor strongly interested those who saw and beard her, came to
the office accompanied by Lawson, one of the day patrol.
It appeared that at a very late hour on Monday night Lawson hap-
pened in be in the street, though not on duty, when he met this
young girl, who wee walking at a slow pace, with a small bundle
in her hand, and drenched with rain, and looking about as if
in
search of a place of shelter. Ile thought her manner totally di&
ferent from girls whom he was in the habit of seeing at that hour
of the night, and he was induced to question her as to who she
was and where she was going. She burst into tears, and said she
WAS a total stranger in London, and knew not where to go. She
then told the following sooty to Lawson :
Her name, she said, was Lucy Martin, and she was a ratite of a
village near Woodbridge, in Suffolk. She had for a lung time
been in the service of a lady of Irish family, of the name of
.Holla-
son, who resided near Woodbridge. Five weeks ago. her mistress,
who had been seriously ill for three yenta, went to Brighton, where,
at the end of a month, she died, and tier son, who lived with her,
having occasion to go to Ireland, the establishment was altogether
broken up, and she was under the necessity either of returning im-
mediately to Woodbridge, or seeking a situation at Brighton ; and
thinking she was more likely to succeed at the latter place, she de-
termined to remain, a few days at least, with the people of the house
where her mistress had lodged. Inquiries were made on her be.
half, and in a day or two she was hired by an elderly
woman, who called herself Mrs. ElllaleT6oll, and alto was residing
there apparently alone. She seemed extremely kind and good-nos-
toyed, and at the end of a week she came to London, bringing
the applicant with her. They came by a stage-coach on Mon-
day, to (as she understood) Charing-cross, and when they
alighted, and her mistress's and her own luggage were put
into a hackney-coach, which was nearly filled with it, and
when her mistress got in there was no room for a second person:
she therefore told the applicant to walk as fast as she could to
William-street, Temple-bar. She endeavoured to keep up with the
coach, but it WAS soon out of sight, and she then found her way to
Temple-bsr, but could find no such place as William-street.
[There is no such street within a mile of Temple-W.l Utterly a:
a loss what to do, site wandered about until she met with Lawson.
who advised her to go immediately to a respectable house, which he
would direct her to, and procure a bed, and make the best of her
way towards Wootibridge in the morning. She said she feared
she could not reach ‘You.lbridge, for she had but a few shillings
in her pocket, her little stock being in one of her trunks. The
patrol took her to a house where he knew she would be treated pro-
perly, and procured a bed for her. Yesterday morning, about
twelve o'clock, he met her again in the street, wet as before, and
her clothes bespattered with mud. She said her money was not
sufficient to take her to Woodbridge, and was in hope of finding
her mistress. Lawson, upon this, very properly and humanely
brought her before the Magistrate.
Mr. Ilakka questioned her, and she repeated the story e'ie had
told to the patrol, with the addition that het father and mother
had been dead several years, and she had no relations that she
knew of.
The worthy Magistrate said he commiserated her situation, and
would, at all events, do every thing in his power to protect her
from ruin. Ile then sent Lawson to Charing-cross, but that, it
turned out, was not the inn ; and Lawson was told that, frotn the
description of the young woman, it was most likely the Old Bell,
Holborn, at which the conch stopped.
The patrol was then dire:tett to use every exertion to trace the
old lady ; and meanwhile the poor girl was taken proper care of
until something could be done for her. She. in a simple but earnesi
manner, expressed her gratitude to the Magistrate fur his kindness,

• HATTON GARDEN.
Turnre—Patusit or ST. ANDILEW, HOLBORN...-It will be
remembered that an application was made on the subject of Tithes
to 31r. Sergeant SELLON, by Mr.4iritfiths, one of the Vestry
Clerks of this Parish, appearing on behalf of the present Incum-
bent, the Rev. Mr. Berresford, hut the Magistrate declining to
give any opinion, unless in the presence of both parties, yesterday
was appointed for the hearing, and some intimation theret.f having
obtained publicity through the medium of the Police Reports, the
I ?dice was crowded at an early hour by some of the most respectable

-
inhabitants.
Mr. Griffiths, about twelve o'clock, came into the Office, and
stated, that in consequence of the absence of the Rector, who is at
present out of town, he was unable to procure certain books
and documents, which he considered necessary to support the
demand.
One of the Parishioners observed, that there were now a great
number of persons in attendance, who were must anxiously
concerned in the speedy decision of this important question.
Mr. Griffiths—l think, Gentlemen, you have no right to com-
plain of the delay ; because there are only three persons sum-
moned, and at least thirty of you have appeared ; that is not my
fault.
Mr Luta, the presiding Magistrate, observed, that the very
Importance of the question suggested the expediency of affording
sufficient time for its consideration to both parties.
Mr. Ryder, one of the gentlemen summoned, observed, that he
was only desirous Mr. Griffiths would specify the particular statute
under which he nisent to proceed for the recovery of these tithes.
Mr. Gritliths—l know of no statute for the subtraction of tithes.
Mr. Ryder—But, Sir, In your summons, I find the words
agreeable to the statute."
T. Luwa—There is an Act for the recovery of small tithes,
but there is no necessity for the specification of any particular sta-
tute in they:cot cry of tithes, the right of which has been established
from time innuentorial; in fact, long before statutes were fumed or

thought of.
Mr. Gritfiths—l submit, Sir, that the payment of tithes by
those very persons now summoned fully establishea the right, and
throws the onus completely upon their shoulders.
Mr. Dundo. another parishioner' observed, that though they
might have been inadvertently led into error, yet there was no
reason when they found it out that they should continue in it. The
present object of the parishioners was merely to ascertain the spe-
cific grounds of right, on which the Rector was now proceeding;
and, with regard to the persons now summoned, it was particularly
necessary they should have the point satisfactorily explained, be..
cause they were newly come into the parish, and, of course, was
unacquainted with its usages.
Mr. Griffiths—They have already
.paid tithe.
Mr. Dundo—Yes, they have paid it in their own wrong. I have
lived for many years on the Terrace, in Gray's Inn-lane, and was
never called on for tithes, but, as soon as I moved into Holborn,
another portion of the parish, where I at present reside, the demand
was immediately made.
Mr. Latta—As the Rector's out of town, I shall certainly suffer
' the hearing to be postponed.
Mr. Duudo—lt is quite clear, I think, that if the Magistrate
thought we were bound to pay, he would have decided the case
now.

Mr. LAnea—l beg, Sir, you will not leave the office with any
such impression. Idu nest give an opinion on a case, the merits of
which have not been fully discussed ; and W you, or any other of
the gentlemen, feel themselves annoyed at the delay, I can assure
you, that until I am perfectly satisfied with the evidence on both
sides, I shall not be induced to give any decision either for the Rec.
toy, or the parish, and I should postpone the ease from day to day
until the evidence was conclusive.
It was ultimately decided, that the vestry clerk (Mr. Griffith.)
should call on Thursday to name a day for the final decision of the
question.
CONTIADAND AND PAOSTIBITED Goons.—Yesterday Jultn
Ilobart Counter, of 31:, Somerset-street, Portman-square, appeared
to an information laid against him and his wife, Matilda Counter,
on the part of the Board of Customs, charging them with having
in their porgessian both contraband and prohibited polo. The
parties rte iffehe millinery and dress-making business. The goods
consisted of a quantity of lace of foreign manufacture, which wets
contraband, and of silks and crapes, also of foreign manufacture,
but prohibited. The penalty in each ease is treble the value of the
I articles-
The defendant pleaded guilty, and in such cases it ha customary
to mitigate the penalty to one half. There was an aggravation in
this can; which induced the Magistrate to deviate from the usual
practice.
The seising officers stated, that Mrs. Counter offered them two
guineas as a bribe to forego their duty, which would subject them
individually to a penalty of five hundred pounds and imprisonments
it they accepted it; as also the person pruffering.
The Solicitor to the Customs stated, the Board would not press
the prosecution for bribery, but left the penalty to be inflicted at
the discretion of the Magistrate.
The Magistrate, after severely commenting on the conduct of the
defendants in attempting to tamper with officers in the honest dis.
charge of their duty, mitigated the penalty to two-thirds of treble
the value, at the suggestion of the officers themselves.

porseas were in cite house; he went outside his bed-room, and lie.

tablespoon, which had been taken away from the kitchen, of the
value done guin-a. which was afterwards found by a neighbour In

hack part of his coat all over white, and he was without a hat. lie

He knew he lodged there, having seen him only a few nights pre-
vious in bed in the sane house. Is positive the prisoner at the bar

linour, the officer, stated that he was informed of the burglary ;
the hat and handkerchiefs were given into his custody • they are
those produced. As soon as he saw the hat, he recognised it as be-
longing to the prisoner.
Charles Cowley, a supernumerary watchman, was on duty on the
morning of July last, in Regent-street. bout half-past three
o'clock, he saw .Me. Howell up stairs, who desired him to get over
the fence, which be did. After leaving the house, and looking
about, he perceived a chisel, centre-bit, crow-bar, and a phos-
phorus hoe ' • part of these within, and part without the railings of
the garden, belonging to the Square-keeper, which is not above
ten yards front the Prosecutor's house.
Pace, the officer, said he met the prisoner, v.: a young man

prisoners into a house, and examined them minutely, and particu-
larly noticed that e prisoner had on a black silk hat, and firmly
believes the one now produced to be the same.
The prisoner interrupted the witness, and said the hat in his
possession was a silk one, and is the sante he had in his possession
on the 22d July, and denied all knowledge of the robbery.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.

THAMES OFFICE. , I
A MOST FLAGRANT Fuca.—Jame Reeves, a foreman In
the employ of John Brunton, chain cable-manufacturer, of the I
Conimercial-road, Stepney, was yesterday brought before WM.
BAILLANTINE, Esq., charged with defrauding his employer under
the following circumstances :
Mr. Brunton stated that the prisoner hail been in his employ
during the last ten years, and his occupation was to superintend a
part of the workmen, to keep an account of their earnings, and on
Saturday to deliver the same to a clerk, who gave him the amount
to settle with the men employed under him. The complainant said
he should prove that the prisoner had claimed and been paid
MATS of money for wages which had never been charged by the
workmen
Magistrate.—What wages had the prisoner been receiving on his
own account during the ten years he has been in your employ ?
Complainant—Thiny-three shillings per week.
31agistrate—Were the men whom the prisoner overlooked paid
by time, or at a certain sum weekly ?
Complainant--Some by time, and others by the week.
Mr. Smith, clerk to 31r. Brunton, prochced an account in the
prisoner's hand-writing, where he had charged and received various
sums for men working under him beyond what they had claimed
or were entitled to.
Magistrate—Produces witness to prove such monies were paid
into the prisoner's hands, and then adduce an instance to establish
the fraud.
Mr. Bellamy, another clerk, stated that on the 12th of June last
be paid into the prisoner's hands 271. 4s. 3d., the amount of an
account given by the prisoner to witness, for labour performed
during the preceding week.

labourer in the prosecutor's factory, and received of the prisoner
for four days and a half s work, which was all that he was entitled
to.

11' itness.—Twenty-four shillings, my wages having been ad-
vanced.
Magistrate.—l observe by the account, the prosecutor has been
charged with 30s. per week.
Several other similar facts were proved against the prisoner, when
Mr. HARMER, who attended as theyrisoner'a solicitor, addressed
the Bench, and observed, the prisoner a defence would go to a Jury,
and as the offence with which he was charged was a bailable one,
he had no doubt his client was provided.
Magistrate.—The prisoner stands committed for the charge al-
leged against hint, and if bail is offered, I adjudge twenty-four
hours' notice to be given to the complainant.

UNION-HALL.
A young boy, named Jae,: Page, who, although only between
12 and 13 years of age, has been repeatedly brought to this office on
various charges of theft, and committed thence to each of the
county prisons, was yesterday again brought before the Sitting
Magistrate, for stealing a rope of onions from a stall in the Borough
Market.
The Magistrate, after having made some remarks on the neces-
sity of inflicting corporal punishment on young offenders, as well
as imprisonment, committed the prisoner for one month to Brixton
gaol.
Two men of decent appearance, named Gully and Fla sagas,
were put to the bar, charged with having committed a desperate
assault upon a man named Hawkins, who was unable to at.
tend to give his evidence, in consequence of the injuries he had
received.
The only witness against the prisoners was a girl of the town,
named gall IS'alsh,who stated, that on the preceding night she met
Gully in the street, who accompanied her to where she lodged.
They had not been many minutes in the room when Gully took of-
fence, and wanted to leave the house without settling for the room.
She resisted his intentions, when he struck her a blow, ran down
stairs, at the foot of which a scuffle took place between the prisoner
and a young man named Hawkins, when the latter was struck a
blow on the forehead with a tin saucepan, and knocked almost life.
less to the ground, where he remained for a length of time weltering
in the blood which flowed from the wodnd.
The Magistrate then desired Gully to give his account of the
affair. He stated, that he accompanied Walsh to a house in
Gravel-lane, and die moment they entered the room she asked him
for sonic money, which he refused to give. She then flew to the
fire-place, took up the poker, and swore she would split his skull
if he did not " hand out some blunt." In order to escape out
of such dangerous company, he ran to the door, and burst it open,
but not before he received some violent blows of the poker front the
woman, who called out for Hawkins, who was her " bully." lie
(Gully) then hurried down stairs, calling out "Murder!" When
he reached the bottom, Hawkins, who was standing in the passage,
rushed at him, and struck him on the breast, while his woman,
who had by this time changed the poker for a saucepan, made
some blows at him; but he (Gully) having got possession of the
weapon, in his defence struck Hawkins a blow on the head, which
prevented him front offering any further violence. The watch-
man then coming into the house, he (Gully) and Flanagan were
given into custody. Gully added, that he loot his watch before he
left the house.
The Magistrate, on bearing the whole of the circumstances, said,
that be would not detain either of the men for the assault, if It
was not proved by a doctor's certificate that Hawkins was in a
dangerous state. It was evident that Gully struck the blow in his
own defence, otherwise he might have been murdered by Hawkins
and the vile woman who now came forward to give her evidence,
whom he would commit to Brixton for one month.

A case of the first importance to the brickmakers in
Scotland, was decided in an Excise Court held here on
Friday last. It was formerly mentioned that the officers
of excise had made a charge of an extra duty of 4s. 2d.,
on certain of the bricktnakars, on the ground that they
had made their bricks larger than the statute allowed.
Out of the thirty proprietors who carry on business in
this vicinity, twelve were selected, and being duly sum-
moned,
appeared in the court on Friday. In their own
defence they urged that the bricks were of the same
dimensions that had hitherto been made without challenge,
and the act being inexplicit on the point in dispute, they
were utterly ignorant of being liable to the extra charge.
Besides, as most of them were bound by contract to fur-
nish specified quantities of bricks, they could not lay it'
on the purchasers, and it must of course be a dead loss
to themselves. The offimrs in reply quoted the statute,
and contended that it was quite clear as to the size of the
bricks; and the court considering the law imperative, de-
cided in their favour. The brickmakers having intimated
their intention to consult cotaisel oft the subject, the col-
lector politely consented to delay the execatimi of the
warrant of the court, and to grant them time fur that pur-
pose.—Glaserow Paper.
SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED SEICIDE.—A young fe-
male (about 20 years of age) respectably attired, threw
herself Into the Regent's Canal on Monday month};: she
was perceived by a carpenter, named Blades, *lio jumped
into the water and saved her life. She was taken to the
house of a gentleman, named Pearson, in the neighbour-
hood, and put to bed ; ou reoovering herself, she regretted
that her life had been saved, as she was ruined, and could
never return to her aged father and mother, who lived in-
dependently et Egham. It appears that, while on a visit
at Datchet, she was seduced by a renew who called himself
a gentleman, under the most solemn promises of marriage,
end was brought to London on the 26th ult. After living
with het a week in lodgings, in-Quebec-street, the villain de-
serted her. Mr. Pearson ascertained the truth of these
facts, and went to the house of the poor girl's father, who
accompanied him to London, and received Ids unfertunate
daughter.

with new Hops, and the growers are so confident of the present
currency being fully maintained, that they do not press sales.

can still be made at or under that rate. Other Oils are also held
for higher prices.
WINE.—The accounts from Oporto of the 25th September,

One of the boatmen plying between Ferry-port-on-Craig
and the North Ferry, was unfortunately drowned on Sa-
turday last. While in the act of taking in his sail, he lost
his balance and fell overboard. His companion at the helm,
and a female passenger, were all on board. The dismiss-
ing accident was seen from the shore, and the sufferer's
arm was seen for a few minutes above the water. Every
effort to save him was unavailing. The body was dragged
