QUEEN-SQUARE.

Julia Sullivan, a young woman, wretchedly attired, was
yesterday brought to this office by a respectable tradesman,
named Davis, who stated that on his return home on the
previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he found
the poor creature sitting at the step of his door. He in-
terrogated her, and found that she had no place to screen
her from the inclemency of the weather. The snow was
falling very heavily, and the cold was intense. He took
the poor girl in, and his wife administered that which was
necessary to her exhausted state.
The account of the young woman was most pitiable.
She had lived in Vincent-square as a servant for upwards of
two years, and had left her situation from illness. Her in-
disposition had continued, and she had parted with every
thing she possessed, in order to maintain herself. She had
applied to the overseers of the parish, and they had refused
to relieve her. She had been sitting in the open air during
the last two nights, and was cold and exhausted, when the
humanity of Mr. Davis gave her relief.
Mr. GREGORIE inquired whether she had any relations.
The poor girl replied—l have neither father, mother, bro-
ther, nor friend.

Mr. GREGORIE gave her some silver f. om the poor-box,
and regretted that he bed no power to assist her further.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday, Joseph Gee, an itinerant dealer in crockery-
ware, was charged before Messrs. COMBES and HARDWICK,
with assaulting and causing the death of a man of colour, a
Lascar, who was merely known by the name of Pedro.
It is not a little singular that one of the principal wit-
nesses in this case is deaf and dumb, and another so deaf as
to be unable to hear any question put to him by the loudest
tones the human voice is capable of. Both, however, could
write, and their testimony wos written by themselves. From
it it appeared that about one o'clock on Christmas morning,
the prisoner entered a room in which the deceased slept, at a
common lodging-house, 98, Wentworth-street, Whitechapel,
and, for some reason or other, turned the bed on one side and
threw the Lascar out on the floor on the other. A scuffle in
consequence ensued, during which the prisoner threw the
deceased heavily on the floor, and while down used him
very roughly by stamping on his body. He (the prisoner)
then raised him from the floor, and, finding him in a state
of insensibility, he placed him on the bed where he left
him. One- of the witnesses perceiving that the deceased
had continued in a state of insensibility for some hours af-
terwards went out for a policeman, and, having met one,
took him to the house.
Three other witnesses were examined, and stated that
Pedro when he went to bed was in a state of intoxication
—that when the prisoner first entered the room he asked
Pedro for a match-box, and in consequence of his not an-
swering him he turned over the bed, and the deceased fell
out. On doing this the prisoner went towards the door,
and was followed by Pedro, and a scuffle ensued, in which
the deceased was thrown heavily, and had much the worst
of it.

The evidence of the different witnesses was taken, and
the prisoner remanded until the result of the Coroner's
Inquest is known.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday James Ledgwick, a carrier, Jason Roe, John
Paine, a shoemaker, John Alcoa:, a butcher, Thomas Bur-
ton, a dyer, and Daniel Murphy, a labourer, were charged,
the two former with assaulting the police, and the four
latter with exciting a mob to a breach of the peace.
Lcdgwick was fined 305., Roe 205., Paine 305., Alcock
55., Burton Is., and Murphy is. All the fines were imme-
diately paid.
On Saturday Alderman Wm. Taylor Copeland appeared
to sustain a charge against William Hawkins, driver of the
Clapton stage-coach, No. 4,799, for furious driving. The
summons was taken out by Inspector Bedford, of the N
division of police.
The complainant on Tuesday night last, about six o'clock,
was in his pony phaeton, passing through Church-street,
Hackney, on his way to Layton, where he resides. The
night was very foggy, when his attention was drawn by the
rattling of the wheels of the defendant's coach. He drew
up to the curb, when, at that moment, an omnibus passed
him, between which and his pheaton the defendant gallopped,
to the eminent danger of both vehicles.—The defendant was
fined 20s.
