the Lord Chief Justice as follows _

My 133111 P, is Lord, is Han% and I wish to be permitted to
address yonr Lordship. At the same time, hon ever, an unde-

borough not having noticed hint, did not press forward. As
soon as that cause was disposed of, Lord Ellenhorough said,
some one wished to address ire just now, where Is he
Mr. Hunt then stepped forward, and said—My Lord, I

POLICE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

rLOPEMENT.—The Lord Mayor Mini applied to by the
friends of a young lady who left her parents on Thursday
week, in the company of a married m iu, a music-master,
Philip Anthony Corti. Tice oliiert of the application was to
obtain the assistance of the City Police in the recovery of'
the girl from her seducer...
_ _ . .

TLe Lord Mayor immediately dispatched two officers, with
a search warrant, to a house in George-street, Mint:wrest
where intelligence had been received that the fugitives were.
When the officers entered at the fruit door, those of whom
they were in pursuit escaped at the bact. of the house, and
were seen by some of the neighbours running along the Mi-
nories. The officers were indefatigable, but they have not
yet succeeded in their object.
The state in which the ft iends of the young lady appeared
at the Mansion-house is indescribable. One of her relatives
burst into tears while he described her per-m, and said he
never knew her by any other name man that of his " little
darling." She is is years of age. The music-master is be-
tween 30 and 40, and has two children by his wife, from
whom he hits been for some time separated. The unfortu-
nate girl had been for a Midnight in a state of mind which
her friends called " most disturbed and incousolairie." Upon
the day of her flight, which she accomplished when her pa•
rents and sisters were at cards, she was observed to be even
more than usually " pensive and affectionate." The night
of that day was spent in distraction and despair by those she
abandoned, and her absence was attributed to self destruc-
tion rather than to that to wii!rh hur former conduct had
been contrasted. The real cause was sock ascertained.

On Saturday last the Lord May or was informed by the
Marshal that this young lady was separated from her seducer.
Unfortnnately the separation was the very reverse of volun-
tary. No it than eight city officers were employed in the
search, and it was with considerable difficulty they borc away
the lady to her parents. Upon making a strict inquiry at
the house in George-street, IMinories, from which Corti and
the fair fugitive escaped, while the officers were knocking at
the &tor, it was found by the Marshal that America was the
destination of the lovers. They were to sail the day after
the separation took place for New York, and Corti had made
all the necessary arrangements fin. a long voyage. They
wi re phi) log at cards when the officers entered the room ;
but the moment the warrant was shown, the lady started up,
and made short rf fight. Corti sat still, and upon learning
tat the warraat did wit extend its irduenre to himself,
s. r meil very well pleased at the limit to which it had been
confined. Hr afterwards, however, thonght himself very ill-
treated, for he cursed the hard hearts of parents, and re-
gretted that two who were made fur each other should be
separated by the unkindness of those who should act as rus-
tily& protectors. Upon hearing this lamentation, the young
fatly felt into tilt, recovered, and was conveyed in a coach to
her father's house.

The landlord of the house in Hermitage street, Wapping,
where the lovers lodged, said In, was sorry the only punish-
ment he could legally inflict upon Corti was to turn him out of
his house.

The officer" complained vmy notch of the violence AFitil
which the young lady treated them.
