FRAUD UPON THE THZATRI-S.
In the course of the fast season vat loos impositions
were praaised upon several of the performers
belonging to l)rury.lane and Covent-Garden The-
atres, for the purpose of prdeuring admission.
Our readers may recollea, a person assuming the .
name of Jolati•st, was advertised in paper. who
had frequently, under pretence of being a liierat y
charaeter, and betonging to Toe. &omit Paxss,
obtained possession n 2 Miss Duncan's and Mis,
Mellon's influence. These praCtices, however, have
been carried this season to a still greater excess, and
if not put a timely stop to by ;he oak,* interfer-
ence of the Mapistrates, must end in very consider.
able loss to the Performers in general, as we see ex-
emplified in the following eirctonstance :—Yester-
day, Itentim. Jenhigs and following
sister, twS girls, about
twenty years of age, with an elderly woman, were
fortnight before the Sitting Magistrate, charged
with obtaining benefit tickets, units false pretences.
Mr. Kemble. Mr. and Mrs. M. Sadiron:, Mr. Brun- •
ton, Mr. Hill, Miss De Camp's sister, and several
other petforreers, same of whom had been de- •
frauded in this way, attended the investigation.
It eppeareJ, that on the 19th inst. a note was
brought by the Prisoner,Jentima,lo Miss Dc Camp's
lodgings, purporting to be Mrs. H. Sidsions's corn-
oliments to Miss De Camp, requesting her to send,
per tie bearer, six box tickets. The younger Miss
De Camp went down stairs to the Prionier. and
having intern.goted her, was satisfied with her
answers, and deiivered the tickets accordingly.,,
she said H. &idioms was not well, fiom the
fall she got in performing Sivloondl a night or
tern before:; and when asked if she had had advice,
or applied any reme iy the Prisoner answered. 4„
was but a trifling hurt, and would be wino ors
auto, as Mr Sadism/ had subbed it with oposielo
doe. or something of that nature. • .1
Mrs. H. bastions declared her total ignorance of
the person of the, Prisoner. or of the trantaEtion it-
self, never. having authorised any one to do so.
Mr, gruston said, a similar application had been
made to his sister, also in the name of Mrs.
Si,!dons, for eight box tickets ; he answered the
Prisoner Jemiusa. oho brought the note, and sus-
peanig some imposition, refused to give the.
tickets.
It was fu-ther stated, that similar app teatioa
had been made to Mr. Hill, Nli s. Martyr. and 20/32e
others, in consequence of which an inquiry was Mt
on foot, and the Pi joiners were apprehended.
When called upon for their defence; Jemima
Jenkins was the spokeswomao ; she said, she was
the daukhter of a man who was formerly foreman
to a cloth shop in the Strand, hut had 1.0; lived
with, or seen her father, for some time. She and
her sister now resided at Westminster, and worked
for army accoutrement makers; that she had known
the other Plisoner at a Mrs. Johnston's, in the
neighbourhood of the Theatres, through whom they
used to get tickets for the play, and being on that
night in some difficulties, she thought of going to
the play to drive away melancholy. Having,
therefore, procured the tickets. she took the other
too Prisoners, and another girl, along With ter to
tho Pit.
The eld-rly swoosh crinfessedthe had cmetoundet
false pretences, obtained possession of Mrs. Mal tyl'a
Loki. but never any 'benefit tickets; she further ad-
mitted having gone to the peas. with the other.Pris=
Goners on t'.e night in question, but wholly denied
any knowledge of the manner in which the tickets
were obtained.
Jemima Jenkins was then fully committed to
Newgate for trial, and as there sobs no diroct
charge againt the other two, they were dismissed,
after teCt.,%ing a wholesome reprimand, and advice
from the Presiding Magistrate.
The OtEse was crowded with performers heldng-
ink; to both houses. Much sport was produced at
the expense of Mr. 'Comic', who got into the bar,
by mistake, and remained there citoing the exami-
swami ; the stra:.gers coming into the (Office. tieing
told he was a prisoner, and having one of his most
solemn and doleful countenance.; on, be was sup-
posed to be eatretnely penitent.
MATT3N•O %ROCS.
Yesterday fonr delicate females weirs brought be-
fore the sitting Magistrate, by a respectable shse-
maker in the neighbourhood, on a charge of raising
a not in has house. and breaking several panes of glass
ia his shop windows. It appeared, that the prisnners
had each of them purchased a pair of shoes on
Monday at his shop, for the purpose of sporting
them at Greenwich. One pair of the sboeshapprned
to be too tight for the wearer, and to make them
easier, she cut the iosisle soles nut of them. This,
however, was found not to have the desired effect,
and she yesterday, with her companions, rem: nod to
the shop, and insisted on basing the ono..ey back
again. Die shoemaker of coot •is refused to comply
with her request, and was finally obliged to send
for a constable, and take her and her companions
before the Magistrate, but not until they had bro-
ken several panes of glass.
Ihe Magistrate required that they should make
compensation fat the damage; but the prisoners.
who all pleaded warmly at the •ame time, were de-
sante, of proving to the Magistrate, that the shoes
were WO small, and refused to pay for the broken
windows, in consequence of which, they were all
committed-

Ibe Mamie Park, under a Royal Salute of Artil-
lery-. Her Grace the Duchess of BLoroao was
also present in an elegant. though plain barouche
Landau, drawn by six beautiful bright bays.—
Her-Grace was attended by Miss Foao•ce and
afsfiiiwr Lady, and was habited in a delicate fawn
eirdwered satin. The infantry, after passing in or-
dinary diem before his Excellency and the Staff,
Iswiled an extensive line, flanked on the left to-
wards the Old Man's Hospital, by the 18th light
dragoons, and on the right by the sth dragoon
guards. The romp dell was highly military and pic-
turesque. After some time, the heavy horse caw
seemed a charge, which was performed in a most
Makable style. A few moments after, the 19th
dragoons followed, with the brilliant and charac-
teristic rapidity of the British light horse. The
flying artillery succeeded, and evinced the singular
swiftness with which heavy pieces of cannon may
be conveyed.
