At the London adjourned Sessions nn Monday, Edward
Hargrave, an officer of the ward of Bi•.hopsgate was found
guilty of most infamous conduct, in attempting to extort nr.
re), from two yonn4 ss omen, after making them treat him
with liquor upon the tailicinn• pretence that lie had criminal
charges azii.ist them. His defence was Litnxication at tho
coin. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the
House at Correction,

On Monday last an inquest was held at C.:m!ierwell, on the
body of Miss Jane lionehier, a native and inhabitant of that
village. The elrcamstate-es which rendered this measure ne-
cessary are of so singular a nature, that we deem it our dory
tollaythent before the public. Miss Patchier n :;a a ladyof some
property. and in consequence of the de:✓h of both her pa-
rents. had been living some time pest un•'. is limier the guard-
ianship of her uncle, who hears the • . me came as herself.
During the early part of the last fort.r.,ht, her uncle told her
twat it was his intention to place her for some time under the
care and protection of an eminent dressmaker ; the y oinig
lady feeling indignant at this intelligence, replied that her
prospects in life were not of smelt a nature as to require her
to submit to such degradation, and expressed her determina-
tion to resist it by every tat ans vitliitt her power. More than
one dispute arose upon the subject, and at last site plainly
declared her intention of (putting her friends, if they per-
sisted in forcing her into a situation In which she was so de.
c;iledly averse. This ()p.m deelaiatimt of rebellion against
the authority rf her guardian led that gentlemen, in the
pienitude of his pow -r, to confine her to liar owe room, and
to inform lice, after dome it, that he should out permit her
to leave her apartment till site had learned to he obedient to
adl MP commands. She replied, that it wits in vain to attempt
f.r.ibk measure to übtain leer compliance , if she was not
let oat of the roan immediately, she weidd sever leave it alive.
This threat In in eon•i lerel as 0f nu to-ailing, was totally
disregarded t but onfortuuatc!y carried it into execution, by
cutting her throat from ear to aer. Is soon as leer friends
discovered ;hat she hat committed this fatal a lion, whieit
they soon learnt limn the torrent of blood which rushe•l
through the aperture of the ikor, they sent for surgical as-
sistance i whir!:, however, w.s of no avail, as the wound
was so deep as to have entirely sous. NI the windpipe. She
live I in greet agony lite an hour after slh, had inflicted it.
Tl.e jury et:yam-lied on this uceasioa, :wet !teak; all the
eirim nsuo• which we Itave narrated, Straight ie a verdict
y der,,agement. The verdict was prunousct•d
at 12 o'clock tit the morniug of Monday ; and at two in the
afternoon she was carried to tile gins., attended by a mimeo.
oast crowd of speetoturs, what, a kno /fledge of the decant.
stances prtueding ter death had attracted together.
