IAIAILITOROUGH-STE EET. - Yesterday a young
Gentlerna-n of the name of Jerrard was charged by
Miss H. Forbes, one of the Paphian sisterhood, with
an assatili •and false imprisonment._ The circum-
stances were rather singular : Mr. J. had been din-
ing-Asiith a party of friends;_in Oxford-street, on
Viursday, and at ten o'clock the meeting broke up,
When the company repaired to places of public
amusement, Aufficiently elated with the: Tuscan
grape. Mr. J. in'the course of the night, fell into
the company of Miss Forbes, whom he' escorted to
her house. After regaling "themselves with a sup-
per and wine, Mr. J. wished.to inform himself how
time: was going' On ; but he missed his gold watch.
He sttspe6ted he had been robbed of it. his fe-
male companion ; .but.she, on. being asked if 'she
kneW any thing of it, retired from the room, indig-
nant at such a question. This conduit -led Mr. J.
to suppose he had been robbed by her, and she was
accordingly 'detained in custody on ache charge. In
the -morning, hoWever,, the watch was produced
from the coffee-house by the waiter,.in whose care.
Mr. J. had left it when in a state of inebriatien.
The Defendant expressed. his, regret at having ao-h..d
so prematurely ; and the Complainant,,on receiving
•-a pecuniary satisfa6tion, consented to 'drop the
charge.

On Tuesday last the body of a man was discovered
hanging, in• a clump of trees, near the house of
Wm. Wightman, Esq. Barrack-master,. at Bexhill,
Sussex, by some personswho, from timidity, or want
of presence of mind, did not, immediately cut .him,
down ;. the body therefore,remained suspended till a
young blacksmith arrived, who immediately divided
the cord, when it dropped with great force, and
caused so considerable a contusion on the head, that
our correspondent thinks it might be doulltful, on a
bare view, whether he died of that, or from suspen-
sion by the
,neck. A piece of curious hair-work,
• and several docuMents, ,were found in Ins pockets.
His name, we understand, was Blackman. We have
mentioned the manner of ,cutting down the body of
the above unfortunate man, to induce persons, on
fature similar occasions, to let bodies down with
greater care, as a life might possibly be saved by
such attention:
