A " BARONESS" COMMITTED FOR

FORTUNE-TELLING.

At the Leeds Court-house, on Saturday, an elderly
woman, dressed shabbily-showy, and who was entered in
the charge book as "The Baroness de Schonlenbourg,"
was charged with fortune•telling. It appears that this
lady has some time past been practising the mysterious
art in Leeds, and with considerable success—female cu-
riosity having attracted on an average about 60 of the
beau sexe a day to her sanctum sanctorum, 114, North-
town-end. The baroness has pushed her trade by freely
distributing cards in the street, bearing on one side
" Madame Cassandra, astrologer and planet-ruler," and
on the other side, " 114, North-town-end. Ask for the
foreign lady." These cards were only given to young
ladies, and the baroness had given one of them to Miss
Fleischman, of the Scarborough Hotel, to whom, shortly
afterwards, the following note was also sent :
"My dear Miss—l met you last in the streets, and deli-
vering to you that card of mine. I was unable to give you
an explanation of the meaning. I practise also an art in a
country where one must try to earn his bread in any way
that agrees with honour. As many ladies come to see me
to have my services, I think you will also give me a call
on this subject. You are so very amiable a young lady
that I suppose that there are also secret wishes in your
heart. Please recommend me to your friends when op-
portunity serves.

" BARONNE DE SCIIONLENBOURG,
114, North-town-end, Leeds."
Mr. Fleischman communicated with the police, who,
to obtain clear evidence against the prisoner, arranged
with a young lady to go to the baroness., get her fortune
told, and pay a marked half-crown. rho young lady
accordingly went, and was in due course promised a hus-
band—au elderly gentleman ; and to prevent him from
being fickle she was to obtain a lock of his hair, en-
close the same in a dock leaf, then bury the whole, and
"never say nothing to nobody." The half-crown was
ultimately paid, and Mr. Superintendent Grauhan then
walked in and pounced upon the baroness, whom he
marched off to the police of with the walked halt-
crown upon her.
To Mr. Grauban the baroness denied all connection
with fortune-telling, and presented him with a card, on
which was printed " Baronne de Schonlenbuurg gives
lessons in French, Italian, and classics."
The bench considered the case to be fay proved
against the " foreign lady," and committed her to psi-
lion for one month,
