LEEDS SESSIONS.

! The Grand Jury having been sworn, the Recorder, John Hardy.
Esq. addressed then: to the following effect Gentlemen of the
Grand .Jury. It has often been my misfcrtune to observe, and the ob.
serration has always been made with regret, that the Wender for
the r•;..r..ions of this Bomugh contains a greater number of ofiencea
than inigot be expected from the limited extent of its jurisdiction. and
which are more numerous in proportion to its extent and lipid:Mom
than in other parts of the Biding. It is probable. indeed, that part
of excess arises from a more active and efficient olice th.el is
elsewhere established, and which permits fewer offenders to remain
undneocered ; and ninth of it may orbit., from the concentrated pipit.
lation and cxten eve commercial tchsactions of ties place, which id-
ford incater facilities for the comini,sion of those petty depredations
which fonn a considerable proportion or the cases t".. ally contained
in this Calender. W hat pino. Lion of these °Hewes may be attributed
to the late presivre upon tire lower closes in sum: ty in consitmenre
of the diminution of einploy ment. and Oa, adv.:weed price of grain, it
is impossiHe to calculate. But es this pri:sure is already much sib -
siated, and his liki ly by an abundant harvest and a reviving corn-
meree, to be almost, it not entirely, removed, the hope may be cher.
fished, that the crimes to which it may have given birth, will also be
renter etl. At any rate. I will not ray the plea of wart affords no OE-
ruse, lint the extenuation which it is smiynosed to hold but, will be
done away. I canint conclude without e..pressing the satisfaction
I feel in the reflation tl!at this place has been entirely free from the

very PeremPtory terms demanded half of the stock of filOnt•

but the &rem, of her appearance served as a sort of foil to
her incoherency. and under an i upresaion that she might hose
stock iii the Boni she was suffered to enter some other of
the odices. Here, leiwever, she renewed her claim upon the
establishment for au equal dividend of the capital, and, in fad,
became so troublesome, that it was found neecsaary to re-
mow her in custody.
She was dressed in a fall ronnd cloak, wore a beaver hat,
uul carried a bundle of clothes, which she vaistantly boast-
. d of as being clean.
The Lard Mayor inquired who she was, and how she was
induced to act in the manner described ity the porter. She
retlised to give her name, or aity expl.m..' milvss allowed
to du so in writing, which she said silo of he este•anore.—
iiis Lordship then ordered her pen and ink, and she instant-
ly wrote as follows ;
•• Distressed, forlorn, I ever were, '
(So this has been my daily fare,
The truth itself I will dis...aver)
Which made me for to go awry
Far from my native home to stray.
And still I am doomed to be a rover."
The Lord \Layer emopilmeat..d lid poetic powers, but re-
;owed her name and mace of Abode.
With this requisition she woul i not comply, but wished to
.imlogise for keeping the fact secret.
" Woo are you?" again said his Lordship.
•‘ My Lord," replied the woman." I am role of his Majesty's
.I.stressed subjects. In my distress I thought to try the good
is ill of the II oils of Fri.:land, -because I tholocht the firm strong.
I did not attempt to raise money by forge. y ; but, after ad
illy exertions, the Book Waded my, and I coal I nut presati.—.
My object WAS to draw out an inilepeutlence, and go honie in

stored.

was? She (witness said) lie was a soldier beloncing to the
Life Guards, and was still living. The prisoner remarked
her own t usband had been a Hussar, and was killed at the
battle of Waterloo, and that she had received 281. front go-
vernment on his behalf. On the mornieg of the 18th. she
milled twos Mrs. Hampden, and said she bail to go to the
Spotted Dug, in thr Strand, for a bundle. She then sail "Let
me take out the child for an airing." Witness refill. d she
would soon be Rowe out heiself, and the prisoner asked for
the shawl and Wiliam, at last the. witness consented to let her
have them, awl she took the child out, as she said, to walk.
After several hours had elapsed, witni ss began to get uneasy
about the chink and went to look for the prisoner, in which
she failed. - She joint nwil her husband of the circumstance,
when he came home, awl he was almost frantic. Inquire
was made at the spotted Dog, and it was there ascertained
she hail taken away her bundle. All hopes of recovering the
child had subsided ; when about a week ago, tie prosecutor
was drinkiuu W•til .1 private belonging to the 10th Hussars,
to whom he related the atom, this 111:111 very fortunately recol-

bron4lit to him by the prisoner ; and as the names agreed, he
expressed his suspicion she might he the same. Persona
were dispatched to Hounslow, (where she was stated to he,)
but when they got theme they received information. that she
was at Hampton. They went there and took her into cus-
tody, with a child about four months old, and brought her to
town. They took her to a public. house in Adam-street West,
and sent for the parents, who identified her, and they them
tooklier to the watch-house.

The prisoner being asked what became of the child, said,
it had died some time ago.
Charles Sylvester, tlic constable, said, he was sent for to
take the prisoner into custody, and she acknowledged having
stolen the child.

From what could be collected from the prisoner's defence,
it appeared that an improper intercourse had taken place
between her and a soldier in the 10th regiinent_; that by some
means orother they had been separated a sufficient time for
the prisoner to nave been delivered of a child of the age of
the one she had stolen. In her own words, she said, " Site
was young and ti,olhh and wanted a Inisband, therefore, she
knew no better way of getting one than by persuading the
soldier she hnd a child.
