NIARYLEBONE.

Twelve or fourteen bakers were summoned before
Mr. HosKINs yesterday, for, as stated by Johnson,
the informer, refusing to weigh their bread, accord-
ing to the 9th section of the Act 3d Geo. IV., e. 106.
Ihe informer's witness, William Skinner, gave
evidence, that on Wednesday evening, the 30th of
December, he bought a 21b.-loaf of bread at the
shop of Mr. David Steel, in Great Titchfield-street,
Marylebone. He paid sd. for it; he was served by
a female : he asked her to weigh it, and she re-
fused ; and he saw no scales in the shop suitable for
that purpose.
In answer to Mr. Charles Phillips, who was em-
ployed by Mr. Steel, he said there were two other
pet sons with him, named Brookes and Prutton.—
Brookes looked through the window, and listened
at the door ; and Prutton carried a bag, to receive
the bread for that night. They called at 20 or 30
shops, but neither of those persons were present. He
had been in Johnson's employ three or four years,
and received ss. a day.
Mrs. Steel and Miss Grace Steel (the only fe-
males who serve bread in Mr. Steel's shop) were
examined. They knew nothing of the features of
the witness; they never refused to weigh a loaf
when a customer required it, and a machine for it is
placed upon the counter, which no person could, if
they desired to see it, overlook.

Mr. Phillips asked the wittiest which of the ladies
served him? Skinner—l don't recollect.

Mr. Phillips—Can't you tell whether it was an
old lady or a young lady ?—No.
Mr. Phillips—Do you happen to know positively
whether it was a man or a woman ?—A woman, but
I don't know her person; I never swear to any
person.
Mr. Phillips—A safe plan enough.
The witness afterwards prevaricated respecting
the time when the alleged offence was committed,
and Mr. HosiciNs dismiss&d the charge.
Mr. John Sweetland, at the corner of Howland-
street, was the next defendant.
Skinner said he was served there by a male; and
in answer to questions put by Johnson, after Mr.
Sweetland had declared that no man ever served in
the shop but himself, he said the person who served
him was dressed like a master.

Mr. flosKlNs called Johnson's attention to the
conduct of his witness. "You see," said he, "h•
makes a point of not speaking to persons, how then
can he describe dress ?" Johnson—l don't know,
your Worship, I was not with him.

Mr. llosxis—The case is dismissed.
A case against Mrs. M'Gregor, at the corner of
Goodge•street, was not proved.
Mr. John Black, of Charlotte-street, was next, and
Skinner stated that he was served by a man.
Mr. Black said, " I suffer none of my men to
seme in the shop. Did I serve you ?" Skinner—
I can't say.
Mr. Black—l am an old nian, and always wear
glasses. If I served you, you must recollect me.

Skinner—l never swear to any person.
Mr. HOSKINS (to Johnson)—Your witness's
making it a rule to identify nobody may be conveni-
ent to him, but it lessens the force of his evidence
very materially, and in this case I shall not convict.
Johnson was about to enter on another charge—
Mr. HOSKINS told him, if he could not pro-
duce evidence more conclusive, it was only wasting
time to go on ; and Johnson, having no other wit-
ness, withdrew the remainder of his informations.

LAMBETILSTREET.

Patrick Namara and Elizabeth Al' Namara
were yesterday brought up for final examination
before Mr. WALKER.

- Salter, a clerk belonging to the Stamp-
office, deposed to having given four 5/. notes to Mr.
G. Warburton on the 25th of October. lie took
the particulars of the notes. The 5/. note produced
was one of the notes so paid.
Craven Honeyman deposed to having changed
two Si. notes for Mr. G. Warburton. The notes
have since been paid into the Bank. One of them
had been traced to the male prisoner.
Mr. WALKER asked if the prisoners had any
thing to say, and on their replying in the negative
they were fully committed to Newgate for trial.
Jane Rawlings and Pete, Rawhngs were brought
before Mr. WALKER, charged with having stolen a
quantity of silver spoons, and other property, be-
longing to the mistress of the female prisoner, Mrs.
Livingston, of Arbour-square, Commercial-road.
Both prisoners were fully committed for trial.
Ii ATTON-GARDEN.

A young woman, of the name of Mary Sheehan,
who succeeded in obtaining a situation as a servant,
by means, it appears, of a fictitious character, was
yesterday placed at the bar, before Mr. Serjeant
SELLON, charged by her mistress, Jemima Parker,
of No. 9, Seymour-place, Somers-town, with steal-
ing a silk handkerchief, and other articles, her pro-
perty.
The prisoner, in her defence, insisted that she had
received the article; as a present, from her mistress.
She was fully committed for trial.
UNION-HALL

Some days ago a gentleman, named Da?ford, wad
brought to this office by the parish-officers of Lam-
beth, for the purpose of having an order made upon
him for the maintenance of an illegitimate child,
sworn to him by a young woman. The defendant
positively asserted that the woman was wrong in the
identity of his person ; declaring that he had never
seen her in the course of his life, until the day she
pointed him out to the parish-officers as the father of
her child. After this declaration on the part of the
defendant, the Magistrates entered into a most rigid
examination of the woman, to ascertain whether she
had perjured herself, and sworn the child to the
wrong father. In the course of the investigation,
the mother of the child related how and where she
had met with the defendant, who prevailed on her to
accompany him to a " house of accommodation," in
a street leading out of the Westmiester-road. She
admitted that she had only met him upon one oc-
casion, he having broken his next appointMent
with her : and she afterwards went into service,
where she became enceinte, and afterwards left her
situation on that account, and was delivered of a
child in Lambeth parish. She then entered into an
account of the manner in which she afterwards dis-
covered the father of her child. Remembering that
she first saw him in the Kennington-road, when she
recovered from the effects of her accouchement, she
went there one morning, and had net walked about
the place many minutes, when she observed the de-
fendant come out of a large house; and, on inquiry
at a baker's shop in the neighbourhood, she there
ascertained that the defendant resided there. On
obtaining this information, she apprized the parish-
officers of the circumstance, and they subsequently
applied for a warrant against the defendant, the re-
sult of which was, that he was taken into custody,
and had the child sworn to him, as above described.
The woman then detailed several circumstances
which she alleged happened on the day she met the
defendant, while in his company, in order, as she
said, to bring the affair to his recollection. In the
first place, she could find the house he took her to,
and could also describe the furniture in the room;
and as a further proof of her accuracy en the sub-
ject, she said, addressing the defendant—" Don't
you know you called the old lady who opened the
door, 4 Mother,' and put five shillings into her hand
before we went up stairs ? I think," added she,
" the old lady, if she were here, would know both
of us, for she stared very hard in my face in the
passage." The defendant pleaded utter ignorance
of all that had been alleged, upon which in was sug-
gested that the woman should lead the way to the
house alluded to, followed by the beadle and the
defendant, for the purpose of pointing out the place
she meant. On their arrival she was anxious to
enter the house in order to question the mistress of

it, but the defendant exhibited a reluctance to go GI
forward, and the consequence was, the parties came
back to this-office, and the old bawd was sent for;
but she disclaimed any knowledge of either partly
saying, that she male a point, as long as she fol-
lowed her present occupation, of never taking itrli
particular notice of the persons by whom her house
was frequented.
The mother of the child asserted that the de.
fondant was the father of her child, while he, on the
other hand, as positively declared that the baby was
no more his than it was the offspring of any other
stranger in the office. He also said, that his appear•
ance had undergone such a change since last Fe
binary, the time of the alleged intercourse, that hie
nearest blends scarcely knew him now, having, at
that particular tia►e, a pair of tremendous large blark -
whiskers, which he shortly afterwards shaved off..

Mr. SWABEY said, the woman described that the
person with whom she went had large whiskers
therefore this declaration strengthened her statement.
Under all the circumstances, the Magistrate
agreed to postpone the further bearing of the caso
on the application of the defendant, who said that
he should be enabled to bring forward evidence
rebut' the woman's statement.
In the meantime Mr. SWABEY, having been ar
prized that the defendant had entered into an ar-
rangement with the parish-office:s, and paid them
stun of 271., the magistrate expressed a decided ob'
jection to settling the business in that way, and ac,
cordingly desired that the defendant might be brought,
before him. Yesterday the defendant having ar
tended, it was then admitted by the overseer, that
the parish had received a sum of 271. from the de•
fondant, in lieu of his granting a weekly sum for the
maintenance of the child.
Mr. SWABEY, as well as the other Magistrate)
present, condemned this mode of doing businesir
and desired that the money advanced by the de'
fendaut should be again restored to him, and that
they should make an order upon him to pay 4s. a
per week for the support of the child. The magi
trates also said, that whatever doubts had existed is
their minds about the defendant not being the father
of the child, this arrangement that he had entered
into, after having stated his intention of rebutting
her evidence, convinced them that the girl's stateruest
was true as to his being the father of her child.

WORSHIP-STREET.
SHOCKING DEPRAVlTY.—Yesterday Thos. Jones.
about sixteen years of age, was charged with at'
tempting to commit a burglary, in the dwelling'
house of Mr. John Norris, pork-butcher, Worship'
street.

Kemp, a watchman, stated—l was on duty about
two o'clock this morning, and saw the prisoner with
two others lurking about Mr. Norris's house; I
watched them a considerable time, and saw the pri'
soner force the bar of the shutters, and upon which
several of the shutters fell down and made a great
noise; they looked about very cautiously to see if
they were watched. Another watchman began to
cry the hour, which alarmed them ; I secured the
prisoner, and the other two made off. The pri,
soner said he was watching the other two men, anal
if they had got in he intended to inform the watch.
man. Ile told me on our way to the watch-house
that the Magistrates could only give him three
months for it, as he had not entered the premiso•
Upon searching him at the watch-house two centre
bits and a phosphorus box and matches were fount'
secreted upon his person.
Mr. BROUGHTON was sorry to see such a youth
pursuing such a dreadful career, which if not stop'
ped in time must end in an ignominious death.
The prisoner here seemed greatly affected,sttu-oped
his feet in agony, and wiping his eyes, as if in tears,
exclaimed, " God forbid that my poor dear tether
should hear of this disgraceful conduct."
Mr. BROUGHTON—I hope those are tears of re"
penitence. I tun happy to see such contrition; you
have had a narrow escape, and I trust it will prove.

you would, in all probability, have forfeited your
life. You arc young, and appear inexperienced,
and no doubt the instrument in the hands of solve
daring housebreakers. lam sure you don't mid,
stand using those dangerous implements with suffe,
dent skill at your age. I must punish you—it will
perhaps save you from the gallows; you are there'
fore sentenced to three months' imprisonment to
hard labour in the House of Correction.
Prisoner (taking his handkerchief from his ere'
and bursting into an immoderate fit of laughter)-"
Thank your Worship ; that's just what I said
would be. Now, I'll tell you what I'll do—you
don't think me capable of using those implement!'
I'll tip you two shillings for them ; they are no use_
to you, so you might as well let me have them--"
they will be of great service to some of my tte

Mr. BRouGuToN—Let him be removed directly
