J the *slue

A young female, named Wilstm, was brought before Alder-
man 13wilits •here, by J. Singlrmo, an officer, who stated.
on Mo,tilay morning about three o'clock, she accosted him in
Bridge-street, and said bile was nearly perished with cold. He
advised her to go home ; upon which she burst into tears, awl
raid she d,ired not until a certain hoar, and implored hun to
convey her to the Compter, and to take her before a Magi's.
trate, who would perhaps pr,tect her, as she was disgusted
with the Coarse of tile she had been pursuing. She stated
that her patents were respectable oersons at the west.rnd of
the town, and that she was born at Pancras. She had been
iu her •preseut condition about 12 months, the principal part
of which time she had lived at a house in Doeer.strect, St.
George's.tielda. She was at first treated kindly ; but latterly
the mistress of the house had rotted her to gn .nit at an early
hour in the e vesting, and it she returned before four in the
morning, unless whit a certain sum of money, she was beaten.
and tamed out again. She related many other circumstances
equally distressing, and with tears implored the Magistrate to
procure her a reception in some asylum, where she might re.
form, and become respectable in society. The Alderman de-
sired the officer to convey her to the Committee of the Guar-
dian Society, who, he had no doubt, would willingly provide
for her.
0. Sullivan. a watchman of Fariagdon Within, was brought
up by an officer, who stated, that *a the night of Mantillay
week the prisoner was bronght tap by a Gentleman to the
watch-house., in a stela of most beastly intoxication. The
gentleman stated, that as he was passing along, the prisoner
seized hold of him in a rough manner, insisted on his going to
the watch-house, and str nek him several times. His conduct
baring been represented to the Deputy of the Ward, he was
instantly dismissed, and the gentleman whom tie assaulted,
coosideriag this a sufficient punishment, declined proceeding
*sly further nviinst him. The Magistrate having commented
upon his disgraceful conduct, lie was discharged.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.
J. W. Parkinsou, Riding House-lane, Portland-place, ob-
tained a warrant to apprehend I) Nl' Vesey, his servant, who
had absconded, after robbing of 00 Louis (Tors, a quan-
tity of guineas, gold pagodas, a large pearl, 400 small ditto, a
diamond ring value 300 guineas, and a lumber of other valu
Isles. Mr. Parkinson went out of town on Thursday week,
stud on that eveuing Parry, his confidential servant, went
into the city. and on his return, at 10 o'clock, Mr. Nl'Vesey
told him the house had been beset by thieves, our of whom
passed by hint as he was making his bed in the parlour, and
-escaped through a window, which is 13 feet from the ground,
that he tired a pistol at hint iu his descent, and followed by the
seine way, but without effect. The next morning he clandes.
tine's, left the house, and has not since been heard vf. Setae
further circumstances of simple-ion were adduced by another
party; but as going further in detail might defeat the ends of
Justice, we forbear to state them at present.
A case was heard sgaiust T. Wheatly, a constable, and J
Dawson, on the complaint of a Mr. Bull, of Mitford place,
Tottenham Court Road, who stated that the defeuilants knock.
a.l at his door en Wednesday evening, and said they were
come about a separation between him and his wife (she bay.
,rig left his house without provocation.) They forced them-
selves into the passage, the wife being present, and insisted
on his taking her hack. He desired thesis to leave the house,
when they pushed him from one to the other. At this time
there was a doublekuock at the door, and a boy banded in a
constable's toad', with which Wheatly struck Bull on the
breast. and turned himont of the house. He then called the
watchmen who sicnred them. Three witnesses, who lodged
in the house. proved the facts. Dawson said, that Bull's wife
had applied to himprofessiosially, to prepare articles of sepa-
ratists:. he hawing ill used her and drawn a knife upon her.
He had writtento the complainant, informing him that he
should call upon bim to settle matters' and lie took Woeatly
to preserve tke peach. He was struck, and also Wheatly.
The may witness he had was the wife, bat she was not a com-
petent one. Wheatly urged the same defence.. Mr. Bull
gave a melancholy statement of the depravity of his wife, hr
having discovered that frequently in coining home from &isi-
sass to his 'steals, a paramour was concealed in another room
Mtil he was game, and she had even received the. embraces of
Yip oe,areMeelative : at length she decamped of her own ac-
cord. Tile Magistrates ordered the accused parties to bud
bail.

an unusual masher ; and ruimiiig up stairs, he Mutts, the ladies
dreadfully alarmed, and the prisoner strutting ahem the rums.
apparently very much intoxicated. Upon his attempting to
ceinonstrate with him, he was saluted with a box ou the car,
which made his eye strike file;" and lie [lieu thought pro.
per to withdraw: but the prisoner followed him down stairs,
ktrack him repeatedly, and behaved in so outrageous a man-
wer that he sent for au officer. and gave him in charge. The
ivris4)lWr was iu a state of intoxication when brought to tin
office, lti,t tad igistrate ordered Will so !lad eau, and its
default whereof he was committed.
