A few edmings since, an application was made to the
sitting magistrate at this office, to issue his wail rant for
the apprehension of Miss It—, a young lady, the sister of
an actress of great celebrity, for stealing several Chino.
cups and saucers. and also various chimney ornaments ;
the most extraordinary part of which was, thut the elrarge
was weld red by her own mother, to whom the articles
alleged to have been stolen were said to belong. It we-,
however, represented in justification of resetting to so!
harsh a measure, that Miss B. had eloped from her friends,
and unless she was reclaimed to their protection, her runs
would inevitably be consummated. Under so laudable an
intention, the warrant was immediately granted, and
placed in the hands of one of the pt incipal officers, who
proceeded to the execution of it directly ; and basing Mr -
ceeded without the least difficulty in the caption of the
fair delinquent, conveyed her in his safe custody to thee

Miss B. their advanced to the. front of the table, and
with a respectful timidity asserted that the things be-

given to her by her friends. This she could prove by the
testimony of her servant, who was then called, and trolls
