MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO YOUNG FEMALES.—APPLICATION TO THE
MAGISTRATE,-- A respectably attired young woman ap-
plied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for his advice under the following
circumstances :
The applicant handed Mr. Tyrwhitt a newspaper with
the following advertisement in it :—" Wntead,-20 com-
petent hands for boot tops, at good wages. Those
acquainted with Howe's machine preferred. Also vacan-
cies for three learners." (An address in Brewer-street,
Golden •square, was given in the advertisement), and said
that she wrote to know the terms, and received an answer
to the effect that the terms for a learner were 12s. 6d., and
that the advertiser's object was to prepare hands for the
many applications she had for them. She then went to
the person and paid her 12s. 6d., tut instead of having
as she supposed boot tops to learn on or materials furnished,
the whole of the work she saw going on with the two or
three other females at the place, was some plain needle-
work, which the females took to the place themselves.
Finding how things were going on, she asked for her
12s. 6d. back, when she was told that it would not be given
to her, but that she should be transferred to another person.
As she considered that the 12s. 6d. had been unfairly ob-
tained from her, she wished to know what she was to do.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the applicant that he had no power to
get the money back for her, and ne was afraid that it was
a trick too often played on poor females who tried to earn
their bread. He, however, had no doubt if the press noticed
the matter that it would be attended with a good deal of
good, and the applicant had better go to the County
Court. _ _

The applicant thanked the magistrate and retired,

WESTMINSTER.

WHOLESALE DISHONESTY BY A GENTLEMAN'S COACH-
MAN.—George H. Banks was placed at the bar before Mr.
Arnold charged with a series of acts of lishonesty.
Mr. Sleigh, barrister, attended to prosecute. There were
several charges against the prisoner, of which the following
only was proceeded with :

Mr. AntroLus, of 65, Eaton-square. said that the prisoner
had been for nearly two years in his service as coachman,
and absconded, without any intimation of his intention to
leave, on Saturday week, since which his dishonesty had
been discovered. Prosecutor employed Mr. John Dexon, a
veterinary surgeon, and in January last gave his butler
money to pay what was owing him.
Joseph Yeoman, butler to Mr. Antrobus, said that in
January last, on the 22d, his master gave him £8 Bs. 6d. to
pay Mr. Demon, and he handed it immediately to the pri-
soner to take to Mr. Dexon, who in a few days afterwards
returned him a receipt for the money, signed Mary Dexon.
He now produced that receipt.
Mrs. Lucy Dexon, wife of John Dexon, 91, Little Cado-
gan-place, said that there was no person in her house of the
name of Mary Dexon. The receipt was not in witness's
handwriting, nor had she given any person authority to
give it. and Mr. Antrobus's account had not been paid.
A letter was produced, which bad been received by an-
other domestic at Mr. Antrobus's from the prisoner after he
had absconded. It ran thus :

"My dear Friend,—By when you have received this I
shall be no more. May the Lord have mercy on my soul.
Yours truly, " GEORGE BANKS."

Police-constable Henry Giles, 320 B, said that the matter
having been placed in his hand, he used his exertions to ap-
prehend the prisoner, and took him into custody upon
another charge of stealing £34. He said it was a bad job.
On searching him duplicates were found relating to some
blankets, which had also been stolen from Mr. An-
trobus, and which had been missed by that gentlemar's
butler.

It was arranged that the other cases should be Proceeded
with upon remand.

Prisoner was remanded till Tuesday.
