WORSHIP. STREET.

William Burn was charged before Messrs. BROUGHTON
and GROVE with creating a disturbance, under the following
circumstances :

Mr. W. Greville, chiropodist, 11, Banner-street, City_
road, deposed, that about one o'clock that day, upon seeing
a person in the City-road ill-using a horse, he remonstrated
with him for his cruelty. He was instantly assailed by the
man with the cry, " 'There goes an informer." When he
reached Draper's-buildings about a dozen persons came up
to him, exclaiming, " There goes a
few minutes, between four hundred and five hundred per-
sons had collected, who threatened his life. In consequence
witness obtained an entrance into a house kept by a cob-
bler, who, upon his getting in, bolted the door. Soon after
he got in the snob armed themselves with stones and sticks,
and swore that they would break open the door if they
were not admitted. At that moment an Inspector of Po-
lice arrived with two policemen, and under their protection
he was taken to the station-house.
Mr. BROUGHTON-Why should they take him for an in-
former ? Witness—Because he wore a white hat. He was
taken for Stowe], who wears a white hat, and about whose
size the complainant is. Had they not arrived at that
moment, witness was convinced that some mischief would
have occurretl-
G 206 heard 0.,e prisoner say, " There goes the
informer ; down with jliin."
The complainant w0ni,..1 never wear a white hat again.
Mr. BuouowroN stated, that rather than he should re-
frain from wearing a white hat, he should allow a body of
police to attend him.
Mr. Bales, the clerk, believed thai the Earl of Liverpool
and George the niurth wore white hats.
Mr. Baouowrox—And George the Fourth bore no re-
semblance to Stowell.

The complainant would take courage, and still wear a
white hat.

Mr. BROUGHTON informed the prisoner, that, being a
youth, he was most likely led into the affray. He should
therefore only require bail..

He was ordered to find bail.

LAMBETH-STREET.

YesterdLy, among the night charges brought before Mr.
flAnnwlcK, was a young lady, whose name, in justice to
the feelings f he^ highly-respectahle friends, it is but
charitable to withhold. from the public, for being found
rolling about the streets on the ❑ight before, in a state
of beastly intoxication.

- -
A policeman deposed to having taken the prisoner to
the station-house for protection, as she was quite inca-
pable, from being intoxicated, of taking care of herself.

- _
The prisoner did not deny the charge, and was con-
victed in the usual penalty of ss. for being drunk.
On leaving the Justice-room, she• was detained by
Prendergast, the officer, on a warrant taken out against
her some days before by her brother, whose life she had
threatened to take, and which was appointed to be heard
on that day. Sometime afterwards the brother, with
some members of the family, and Mr. Flower, his soli-
citor, attended at the office, and the young lady was again
brought before Mr. Hardwick.
The brother was sworn, and from his statement it
ap-
peared that 'his sister bad received a first-rate educa-
tion, but instead of its being of any service to her it ap-
peared to have quite a contrary tendency, as from her ex-
traordinary conduct she bad for some years past not only
been a complete pest but a perfect disgrace to the whole of
her family. Every means had been tried with her to make
her comfortable and happy, but it was all of no avail, and
they were ultimately compelled to send her from home,
and placed her in a highly respeCtable board and lodging-
house. She had not been there long, though she was
provided with every thing she could wish for, and ex-
cellent society, when she was obliged to leave the lady
at whose house she was living, saying that she would
rot have her there for one thousand pounds per annum.
She was then sent to another and another, but all got
rid of her as soon as they could. She subsequently
offered to become the inmale of a convent at Boulogne, and
was sent there with abundance of the best clothes, and
every necessary befitting her station in life ; but she bad
not been there mane weeks when the violence of her manner
again exhiLited itselt to such a degree a, nearly to frighten
to death the mother abbess and the nuns. To their great
joy and comfort she took herself off. and went to live at a
hotel in the town. - Here, again, her conduct became so
notoriously bad, that frequent complaints of her had been
made to the British Canso!, and that gentleman in eonne-
quence intimated, that unless she was at once moved
front there by her friends, he would. be compelled to
transport her from there himself. All this, however, bad
no effect upon her, and all the efforts resorted to to re.-
strain and keep her from drink tvas.perfectly fruitless, for
if
she could not get at it in the housf, and was without
money, she pawned the firA article she could Inv her hands
on to procure it. It frequently occurred latterly, that
she went out in the evening as well dressed ea any lady
in the metropolis, and was afterwards carried home in a
be:aly state of intoxication, with the greater part of the
action, of her dress
gone, and the remainder torn to
rags, and not unfrequently followed to the house by a
mob of persons,. In conclusion, the brother said that her
conduct was really so bad, and had laterly become so
Intolerable, that it was impossible to put up with it any
longer. Her language was frequently of the most digust-
lag character, and she made use of threats of the most vio-
lent description towards him, her brother, and her mother,
which he feared she would carry into effect, unless she was
restrained.
Mr. Flower banded to the Magistrate a letter addressed
by the defendant to her mother, commencing thus :—" Wo-
man, send me 50 pounds."
The defendant, who said one story was very good until
another was told, complained of the conduct of her bro-
ther towards her. About eight months ago she said, while
sitting at the pianoforte in the drawing-room, she heard,
some voices down stairs, and on going to see what it was,
her brother struck her. Besides, her mother, sister, and
brother were much from home, and the only persons left
with her in the house was
her old grandmother atnod
gtowoseoekr
three servants, neither of whom, of course, was fit society for
her, and she was, theretnre, obliged
society elsewhere.
It was proved that her family bad not 0111). !Idea with the
greatest possible forbearance, but the utino,,t kindness
towards the defendant.
Mr. HannwicK ordered the defendant to find bail for her
good conduct for three months ; and not being being pro-
vided with the necessary sureties, she was locked up.

world. It is a story said to be fouded in fact, called " Violet;
