MAN SIO N-H OUSE.
DISCOVERY OF A DAUGHTER OF KING GEORGE THE
FOURTH AND MRS. FITZFIRRBERT.--A well-dressed female,
of respectable appearance, who said that her name was
Sophia Elizabeth Guelph Sims, waited upon the Lord
Mayor, for the purpose of soliciting his Lordship's assist-
ance in proving that she was the daughter of Mrs. Fitzher-
bert, by George the Fourth, in order that she might obtain
not honours rind distinctions, but a sum of money, which
was left for her maintenance and education. [lt is proper
to say, that if any money was left to defray the expenses of
her education, it was quite evident there had been no appli-
cation of it to that purpose.l
The LORD MAYOR said he had never heard that there
was any issue from the connection between Mrs. Fitzher-
bert and the Prince, and he had seen, by a letter in the
Times newspaper some time ago,, that it was mentioned
incidentally by Lord Stourton that there had been no

Mrs. Guelph Sims said that she had written to Lord
Stourton, contradicting his Lordship's statement to that
effect, as she was, according to the dying assurance of her
nurse, and other circumstances of a mysterious nature, the
child of that union, hav;ng been born of the body of Mrs.
Fitzherbert on the 4th of May, 1802, at eleven o'clock at
night, if the Countess of Jersey and Sir Richard Croft
told the truth.
The Lorm MaYon—What proof is there that there was
any child at all resulting from what you call the union, but
what every body knew could be no union at all ; or why,
if you thought you were Mrs. Fitzherbert's child, did you
not make a stir about it? I don't see how it is possible
that a woman in your circumstances, believing herself to
be the daughter of a King, could have been so long quiet?
—Mrs. Guelph Sims said Mrs. Fitzherbert knew nothing
about it.

The LORD MAYOR—What I were you born without her
knowledge ? Mrs. Guelph Sims—She supposed that her
child was still-born, and was never told to the contrary;
and 1 was always afraid, when I was informed by my nurse
that I was the daughter of the Prince, to apply to either
my father or mother.
The LORD MAYOR acknowledged that it would be very
difficult to convince him that there was any foundation
for the supposition that Mrs. Guelph Sims's birth was at
all superior to what appeared to be her present condition.
Mrs. Guelph Sims said that she had certainly no guide
in the affair except the dying declaration of her nurse,
Peggy White, and the letters of Lady Jersey, which, in
her opinion, as strongly as possible testified to her identity
with the child that was born to the Prince. Peggy White
received her from tile hands of Sir Richard Croft and the
Countess of Jersey the moment after her birth, and about
three weeks afterwards she was delivered over to the care
of a woman named Boswell, in France, where an attempt
was made to assassinate them both. On the Ist of Sep-
tember she was brought back to London to the Countess
of Jersey, and baptized in the name of Sophia Elizabeth
Guelph. She was then put under the care of Mrs. Hill,
sister to Peggy White, end wife of Captain Hill, who re-
ceived 2,0001. to adopt her, provided she was not claimed,
and was commanded to call her Margaret Hill.
The Loan MAYOR asked whether she had received any
part of the money ?
Mrs. Guelph Sims replied in the negative. The
Countess of Jersey, she said, left in the hands of Lord
Rivers, who was subsequently found drowned, 1,0001. to
be paid to her upon her attaining the ago of 21 years; and
Mrs. Hill was to receive 501. a year from Lord Rivers, or
his heirs, till she reached that age, which happened on the
4th of May, 1815. Mrs. Hill died in November 'of the
same year. She (Mrs. Guelph Sims) having been put in
Possession of important letters on the subject, delivered
them to Lord Rivers, at his request, upon his assurance
that he would lay them bef,tre the Duke of Wellington, in
order that they should be put into the hands of her Royal
father, but the letters were detained ; and the Duke of
Wellington, upon being applied to afterwards on the sub-
ject, declared that he had never received any commu-
nications of tho kind. One of these letters was for
Mrs. Fitzherbert, Park-lane, and was written by the Doc-

WORSHIP. STREET.
Mr. Simpson, the superintendent of the tolls under the
Metropolis Road Commissioners, gave iliformation of a
daring attempt to rob the mail, between Enfield and Ed-
monton, which was witnessed by him. As the informant
was in his gig on the road, he saw the mail post-boy
struggling with two men, who were trying to pull him off
his horse; his servant went from the chais:-, and attempted
to divert the villains from their prey, but they were joined
by three others, who attacked the man with the butt-ends
of heavy whips. Mr. Simpson was joined by a gentleman
on horseback, who went with him to the rescue of the par-
ties attacked, and the robbers decamped. The boy has
been so very badly beaten that he is confined to his bed.
Two of the men are in custody, and the Magistrates hsve
granted warrants for the apprehension of the other robbers,
who are known.

correspondence to Lady Rivers, after the death of Lord
Rivers, she (Mrs. Guelph Sims) received a verbal mes-
sage to call upon a Mr. flaye, but all the satisfaction she
received from him was the infcrmation that, that if ladies
would let princes go to bed to them, ladies should make
princes take care of the children that might follow ; and
that Lord Rivers was too much the gentleman not to give
the letters to the Duke of Wellington.
The LORD MA2 OR : —And what are you doing now in the
midst of all these expectations 1
Mrs. Guelph Sims : —I am married to a journeyman baker,
but he is in ill health. I have every reason to think that I
am the daughter of George the Fourth and Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, and I am most anxious for inquiry.
The LORD MAYOR : —lf George the Fourth knew it I am
sure that he would have made prevision for you, but I dare
say you will easily procure the assistance of somebody to
solve the my stery—l can only tell you that the Lord
Mayor cannot do it.

QUEEN-SIIUARE.
Mr. Chaplin, the extensive coach proprietor, appeared
to answer a charge of severely horse-whipping George
Denman, the toll-collector at the Kensington-gate, on the
30th of May. The complainant said that Mr. Chaplin
rode up to the gate in a carriage atel four horses, when he
gave him a ticket, which was not correct. Mr. C. then
demanded back the ticket, and said he would give him the
right one, which the complainant refused to do, and de.
mended three shillings and sixpence of him. The defend-
ant said that if he (complainant) did not leave go the
horses he would horsewhip him, and he kept his word by
lashing him severely. When asked why he did not give
back the ticket, the complainant said he would be liable
to a penalty of ten pounds for so doing; but he could not
show by what Act the penalty was inflicted. Mr. Chaplin
refusing to give the complainant anything for his less of
time, the Magistrates fined him ten shillings and costs.
