MARY LEBONE,

THE BRITISH LEGioN.—Three wretched-looking men,
in tattered military habilaments, named John O'Niel, John
Macdonald, and William Al l: wood, who belonged to the
force under General Evans in Spain, were brought before
Lord MoNTronn and Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with beg-

gtn
11r.inspe,:!or Tedman of the D division, stated that a
short time before he was on duty in Portland-place, when
his attention was attracted t~ the
_prisoners who were soli-
citing alms of the passengers, wn,;:e commiseration they
endeavoured to excite by the following setting forth
their grievances and hardships, and which O'Net: carried
on his breast :
" Victims of Spanish ingratitude, we are forced to ar-
peal to the public to enable us to get to our homes. We
are without food, or clothing, or any place of rest. We
apply daily to the Spanish Ambassador trying to get our
back pay and gratuity, but are alwnys refused them. He
is either unable or unwilling to pay us, leaving us without
hope. if we could get any money we would leave Lon,
don immediately, but we have no•means of doing so."
Lord MONTFORD having inspected the placard, which
was printed in very large characters,
The prisoners, in extenuation of their conduct, said that
they had served two years under General Evans. The
Spanish Government owed them upwards of nine pounds
piece ; but they could not get one farthing of it, notwith.
standing they had repeatedly importuned the Spanish A
m-
bassador, and spoken twice to General Evans upon the
hardship of their case.
Lord MONTFORD told the unfortunate men that though
Le
;litied their misfortunes, he could not allow them to beg.
" wood, who is a native of Scotland, inquired of his
rd Loahip whether he could not enforce his claims by an
told that that would, indeed, be a hopeless
action, and
proceeding. Tri: poor fellows, who declared they were
actually starving 44.1.1 they wished to be passed to their

several homes, and were directed to apply to the parocuu
to
•
authorities upon the subject ; and, having promised not
be found begging age th
ain in the streets of London, ey were
discharged,

WORSHIP-STREET.
A GOOD SERVANT !--Sarah Lambe, a young- girl, w"s
re-examined on a charge of stealing a box of jewl4,
property of Mr. Suggate, a surgeon, of Blackheath-hi 1.
It appeared that the prisoner entered Mr. Suggates ser-
vice about ten weeks since, having been recommended by
Mrs. Suggate's sister, who had taken her into her hose i'
destitute state, and behaved like a mother to her. She
had only been at Mr. Suggate's two days when she *h:
sconded, taking with her some children's wearin4-apparei
the
She returned again some days aer, and expressed herself
sob sincerely sorry for her misconftduct, that Mrs. Suggate
forgave her, and took her again into the house. Her re-
morse, however, was very short-lived, for on the morning
of the following Monday, when the family came down'
stairs, they found the street-door open, and the prise''.
absent. She never returned, and it was found soon after
that she had entered Miss Suggate's bedchamber in the
night, and carried off the whole of her jewels, which were;
inclosed in a box therein. Nothing further was heard o
her until last week, when Mrs. Suggate received informa-
tion that the prisoner had been obtaining goods from her
tradespeople in her name. She accordingly gave orders f*:.r
the prisoner's detention when she next presented herself
in consequence of which she was given into custody by that
lady's cheesemonger, on S Iturday.
Mrs. Suggate expressed a strong disinclination to prose-
cute the prisoner ; but
tifel
Mr. BROUGHTON told her that her mercy WAS enr
thrown away on such an ungrateful and hardened offers '
and he should commit her to prison on the charge.

UNIN-HALL.
Mr. Curtin was brough ,before Mr. TEAILL and $:.;
JEREMY, charged with having driven his horse and gig °V A
W. Baldwin, and severely injured him. Both complainant In "
defendant seemed to be suffering under severe indisposition,
the
the former having been also thrown out of his gig at
ti me of the accent.
A policeman stated, that pmiously to the defendant anidf,
his friend being thrown out of the gig, they ran against
carriage of a gentleman, and after this they drove on tad
footpath, when the complainant was knocked down An,
the defendant and his friend were thrown out of the yellice.
The policeman added that the defendant was drunk at t,j
time, and that after his head was shaved at the surgefr ne
he was taken to the station-house. The defendant's ient"
was so much injured about the head owing to the aceicljh'
that he was obliged to be taken home in a coach. I
horse ran away with the gig after the parties were throw"
out, and was not stopped until it reached Blackfria!r
bridge ; fortunately, however, no other accident occurred.,
The defendant said that he regretted the accident, bet!
that it was occasioned by his having lost all control with
horse, in consequence of having come in contact lc"
a carriage prior to the occurrence.
Mr. TRAILL said that it was given in evidence that the
defendant was not only intoxicated, but that he VMS
ilia3:s
observed to have lashed his horse most furiously at a
time that he was going at the rate of between fourteen elle
fifteen miles an hour. The magistrate having made e°ci
strong remarks on the conduct of the defendant, sentence.
him to pay a fine of 40s. for furious driving, besidj:
further sum of 5/. to the man Baldwin who was so sericusd
injured. The defendant was also told that he was b°unof
to pay the medical expenses attendant upon the recoverY
the complainant.
ALLEGED INFANTICIDE.—A lengthened examinetr
took place relative to an alleged charge of child-rnur
brought against a young woman named Dawes, residing I"
the parish of Lambeth.
It appeared that on Wednesday last, in consequence, ofe
suspicion entertained that the woman Dawes had ,u;
stroycd her illegitimate child, the police constables wen ad.
'P the house where she lived, and on questioning her she t„,
mitted that she had been delivered of a child thefte i 4,
morning. When further questioned on the subj s )e,
pointed to a corner of the room underneath a table, wher
on examination, the body of a male child was disc"ereur
quite dead. The prisoner made no preparations for
accouchement, and she informed Anderson, the beg a
the child was the offspring of an illicit intercourse With,„
young man who was working at one of the wharfs near E
"1.;
water aide. It was represented, however, that there see,e
.
no marks of violence perceptible upon the body of
tu
child, although there was no person present at the birth.. _
The accused, in answer to the charge, said that all she
had to say was that she had no intention of destroying bet;
child, and that when she found herself getting
ill she sen
for her mother, who was not in s.the way at the time. -
Several females living near the accused's place of re
dence gave evidence of their having seen her on the W
IO
ing in question, of her not having acquainted any of thei.llr
of her condition, although asked the question, and ofthe,l„
having afterwards observed those appearances in her CO°"-
which indicated that she had given E.irthta a child.
The prisoner was committed 'for concealing the birthol
her child.

On the evening of the Bth, the house of a tailor at
Lille became a prey to the flames. The manner in which
the fire was communicated was very singular. A cat,
brought up in the house, had the bad habit of seizing
candles, even when lighted, when they were within her
reach. They wished to lose or drown it, and for this pa'
pose it had been carried in a sack to the extremity of the
esplanade. It appeared that the cat had returned of
several days' absence, had carried away the candle ribic!
was burning in a room where no one was at the women',
and by this means communicated the fire to some nier•
chandise deposited backward,where the cat had takentrefuge'
There has been more ballooning this summer than
was ever before known. This seems to show that the
public taste is more trivial than ever, since it can be gratiße
with " trifles" lighter than air.
