GUILDH ALL.

Maria Eyton, a middle•aged woman, was charged
with conducting herself in a disorderly manner at
some chambers in Serjeants'-inn, Fleet-street, oc-
cupied jointly by Mr. Peter O'Mealy and Mr. Kelly.
Mr. O'Mealy stated, that some connexion had
existed formerly between Mr. Kelly and the pri-
soner, but it had been broken off, and Mr. Kelly
had been in Ireland. Having returned to this
country, the prisoner came to his chambers to annoy
him, and he had Mr. Kelly's permission to order her
to leave the premises. She had refused to leave on
the previous evening, and he had been compelled to
give her into custody.
Mr. Alderman FAREBRoTIIER said, if she had a
claim on Mr. Kelly, she had a right to call at his
chambers, and Mr. Kelly had nut attended to prove
that she had no claim.

Mr. O'Mealy said, he could give evidence on that
point; but—
The Alderman thought be ought not to enter
upon a subject of this nature in Mr. Kelly's absence
and without his knowledge. As Mr. Kelly had not
attended, she must be discharged.
Mr. O'Mealy said, Mr. Kelly would be out of
town till Thursday ; he would not be so har,h us to
ask that the prisoner should be detained in prison
till that time, but he hoped that the Alderman would
require her to appar on that day.
The Alderman did not know that any sufficient
ground had been stated to justify that course: if
she came again to the chambers, she might be put
into custody again.
Mr. O'Mealy replied she had thrown a chair at
him ; and bud attempted to bite and strike him with
a poker.
" The prisoner said, she had borne seven children
by Mr. Kelly, who had lived with her since she was
between 13 and 14 years of age, and she considered
herself much ill-used. Six of her children were
dead, and she did not know what had become of the
other one, but she had left it with her relations.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, if she had any
claim on Mr Kelly for the maintenance of the child,
she ought to apply to the overseers, who would look
into the case for her. He would advise her to keep
away from the chambers.
The prisoner had determined never to go to them
again, and upon this promise the Alderman dis-
charged her.
BOW-STREET.

Yesterday au elderly man, whose appearance and
address were very respectable, was charged before
Mr. MlNstal.t, with having stolen nine volumes of
dicfet eat literary productions from the sale-room of
Messrs. Machin and Debenham, the auctioneers of
King-street, Covent-Garden. The prisoner gave
the name of John Jones, but it is supposed that this
is not his real name. The prisoner was frilly com-
mitted to Newgate for trial.
A young woman, named Eliza Errington, was
charged by a poll; -constable with having bee❑
found on that morning in mile attire.
It appeared that the constable observed the pd-
saner walking down the Strand, and as her face and
dress did not correspond, he was induced to stop
her, when he found that she was a woman, and
suspecting that the clothes which she WOW bad
been stolen, or that the disguise had been used for
the purpose of a robbery, he took her into custody.
The duplicate of a watch, which he found upon her
person, served to confirm his suspicions, and her
statement bcieg altogether strange and contradic-
tory, he felt it his duty to bring her before a Magi-
strate. In reply to questions by the Magistrate,
the young woman stated that the clothes belonged
to a friend of her's, a baker, who resided at Wat-
ford, and she merely put them on to have a " lark,"
while her friend, the baker, was at home in bed, and
her prolonged absence would no doubt cause him a
great deal of anxiety.
Mr. MiNsuum, said that her friend's anxiety was
not likely to be much abated, as he intended to com-
mit her as a loose and disorderly person, who had
made a very unseemly exhibition of herself in the
public streets.
The constable, in answer to the Magistrate, said
that he knew her to be a woman of the town.

A young man here stepped forward and denied
thi,z, stating that the young woman was his wife.
Mr. MtNsnum asked him if he knew the party
whose clothes his wife wore ?—The young man
shook his head, and declared that he knew nothing
of him.

V.
.Mr. MiNsnuLL—Am I to understand, then, that
you allow your wife to keep company with other
men, and puss her• nights with them ?—The young
man replied, that the truth was, his wife and him-
self had been living apart for some time, and had been
reconciled to each other within the last few days.
54. MINSTWIA, observed, that the young vvoni„n
had not mended her morals by the reconciliation;
and as for the husband, his conduct in coming for-
ward with such a story was most barefaced and im-
pudent.
The young woman was then committed for seven
lays to the House of Correction as a loose and dis-
orderly person.
