kXTRAORDINARY CASE.

Considerable sensation was occcasioned in this usually
quiet place by a rumour that prevailed on Friday morn-
ing last, and which proved to be tru', that a foreign
noble, or pretended noble, had been arrested for endea-
vouring to effect an elopement with the daughter of Mr.
D. Lewis, of Stradey. Many conflicting accounts of the
affair were propagated, and the investigation which took
place before the magistrate, Mr. R. Goring Thomas, was
conducted at the Station Hotel, and, in consequence,
partook of a private aspect, which piqued the curiosity
of the public, and invested the affair with an air of mys-
tery. From inquiries, we learn that the prisoner, who
represented himself as "Le Ba.ron Glucky de Stenitzer,"
and a Hungarian refugee, obtained an introduction to
Mr. Lewis and his family at Malvern ; and managed to
insinuate himself into the good graces of Mrs. Lewis.
His son also paid court to Miss Lewis, and favoured by
the mother, seems to have been tolerably successful in
his suit. They subsequ-ently met:At Brighton ; but from
inquiries instituted by her father, it appeared that the
so-called "Baron" was utterly unknown in the Austrian
dotainions, and from other circumstances which were
ascertained, he was led to believe that he was an impostor
and an adventurer ; and, consequently, like a duteous
parent, gave him to understand that his visits were un-
acceptable. Finding, however, that the son still prose-
cuted his suit, and obtained clandestine interviews with

the young lady, Mr. Lewis wrote to him in August
last, and distinctly forbade all further intercourse with
any member of his family, and received a letter in re-
ply from his father the "Baron," in which threatening
language is used towards him. Notwithstanding the
prohibition they, in the hope, it is alleged, of participa-
ting in the fortune they believed the young lady would
inherit, persisted in maintining a correspondence, and
n some letters which fell into the hands of Mr. Lewis,
he discovered that they intended visiting the vicinity of
his mansion, and at nightfall to meet the young lady
and carry her off. Measures were accordingly taken to
frustrate this design, and on Friday morning last a sharp
look-out was kept by one of Mr. Lewis's retainers, and
by P. S. Lewis, and as the 8.20 train from Swansea
was passing Stradey, a handkerchief was observed wav-
ing from the window of one of the carriages, which was
the preconcerted signal. "Le Baron Glucky" was
shortly afterwards taken into custody at Pembry by P.
S. Lewis, and brought to Llanelly by the next up train.
At the examination the foregoing facts were deposed to
by Mr. Lewis, and the letters refined to were produced
and read. Mr. Lewis stated that he was apprehensive
of a breach of the peace, unless the prisoner was re-
quired to give security for his good behaviour. The pri.
soner was required to give security for his good beha-
viour. The prisoner made a statement in which he ac-
knowledged that he was not a baron, but was called Ly
that title in his own country—that he was a native of
Perth, in Hungary, but was nut a refugee—that be had
no estate or property, and had no calling or employment,
but subsisted on money sent him by his brother, who is
now resident in Russia. He further admitted having
seen the letter written to his son by Mr. Lewis, and
that he wrote the reply, and stated that the object of
his visit was for the purpose of seeing Mr. Lewis in the
presence of Mrs. Lewis. The magistrate required him
to enter into his own recognisance in the sum of 1001.,
and to find two sureties in 501. each, to keep the peace
and be of good behaviour, and, in default of doing so,
be was committed to the Louse of correction at Car-
marthen, where he was conveyed in the afternoon. Bail
was, we understand, tendered and accepted on Tuesday
last, and the baron was then set at liberty.—Cambrian.
