M A RYLMIONE.

Yesterday morning Mr. Benjamin Stritle, an in-
spector of the metropolitan police, division D,
brought three little girls before Mr. RAWLINSON,'
mad informed him that they had been decoyed into;
house of ifl-fame, No. 8, Dean-street, Lisson-grove,
•
land the mistress of the house had caused them to,
be undressed, and put into one bed, for a most
famous purpose; but it being observed that the;
oye of the police were upon them, she, induced them
co re-dress themselves, and she turned them into
'he street, and he (the inspector), that the inten-1
tion might be exposed, took the children to the sta-1
tion•house, and brought them here.
Mr. ItmvuNsoN asked if he had got the woman
in custody ?—Mr. Stride said no, but he would
soon have her, and at three o'clock she was placed
at the bar.

One of the girls (the oldest of them) Stolid
Chester, whose father is a ground digger, and lives
at No. 4, Harcourt-street, Lisson-grove, stated, that
she was fourteen years of age, and being an
gent child was examined upon oath.
On Tuesday night, a gentleman in the New-road,
who was waking backwards and forwards, Stopped
'her and another girl (not present) Anne Norman,
land told them and these other two girls to go to
No. 8, Dean-street, Lisson-grove, and be would
come to them, and he would, give Anne Norman
three shillings, for she was a big girl, and 16 years
old, and the others a shilling a piece. They went
there, and that lady pointing to the prisoner, made
them undress themselves and go to bed, and then
she made them get up again, and turned'them out
of doors
Mr. IltwunoN—Did you see nothing more of
the gentleman ? Little girl—fie went up stairs
with the lady.
Mr. RAWLINsON—What kind of a gentleman was
he ?- Little 'wore a livery.
And so it appeared that it was n gentleman's
servant.

The next child in point of age was 11 years old,
land numed Davis, and in answer to questions by Mr.
,Inawlinson, she corroborated the statement of the

Mr. ILtwLlNSON—Mistress Josephs! Don't styk

besides Josephs ?--She said it was Julia, and that'
her husband dealt in old clothes, and his name wall
'Henry. She went on to state thatl it would hurt
'her feelings to have such children at her house, for
Idle had been the mother of twelve, and as soon as
it.he found they were there, she gave one of her ser-
Ivants orders to turn them out of doors.

Mr. RAIVLINSON—Where is your servant ?
An ili•featured woman presented herself, and she
was placed in the dock with her mistress, and she
gave her name Ann Smith.
Mr. RAWLINSON asked her what sort of a house
her mistress kept.
Julia Josephs gave the servant no chance of
speaking, but declared, with consummate impudence,
" I keep a company house, and I am not ashamed to
say so; but for respectable people, and not such
children, and there are five others in the same street.
The children were again examined, and they still
positively asserted that Mrs. Josephs told them to
undress themselves and go to bed.
Mr. RAWLINSGN said it was a horrible case, and
the parish ought to come forward and prosecute,
and, that Mr. Greenhill, the vestry clerk, might hero•
the evidence, he should send Mrs. Josephs to the
Lew Prison, and have her before him again on Wed-
nesday.

Mrs. Joseph treated this determination with great
indifference;_' Very well, your Worship," said
she, a there are more houses like mine in the same
'street, there is No. and No. —, and No. —,
and No. —, and No. —."--(We omit the figures,
until the parish authorities interfere with them, and
that of course will be, or ought to be, instanter.
