the prosecutor 'on Mond4 night ; that he accosted
her in Berkeley-square, professed himself to be ex
tremely struck with the depute of her person, and
after some conversation, he'protesscd hints( if very
much enamoured; and entreated her to promise to
meet him again, ant` al a plerige that he was serious,

he insisted upon her taking his, watch. As he ap -
peared so very siocere in his wish, she took his watch
as a pledge; in return she gave him to keep a valuable
ring; "and agreed to meet him at the time and place
appointed by him on Tuesday evening. After she
had separfited from the prosecutor but a very few
yards,she was attacked by e everal men , who knocked
her down, and took time prosecutor's Watch, hut

'agreeably to appointment; and related to him
what had happened, at which he appeared ex-

the Office; who took her into, custody, and brought
her 'to the office.

gave a very full and. particular account of herself,
&e. She described herself to be a dress-maker.
