HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Caroline „Tones was brought from the station-
house, charged by Mr. Jones, of Pentonville, with having
created a disturbance at his house.

It appeared that Miss Jones is the illegitimate daughter
of the prosecutor, and, being in distress, resorted to her
parent for some assistance.

Mr. Jones produced some letters to prove that he had
relieved the prisoner, and containing a promise not to visit
his house again.
Prisoner—l did not make a disturbance ; I went and
politely requested assistance from him.
Mr. Jones suggested that she should be sent to the
workhouse.
The prisoner refuSed to be sent there.
Mr. BENNETT discharged her, on a promise not to go to
the house again.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
THE SWINDLING CHARGE.-117n1. Norrington, John
Setfird, Martin Baton, and George Kean, were yesterday
again placed in the dock.

_ .
The whole of the depositions had been taken on the last
occasion, and the prisoners fully committed ; but on the
representation of Mr. Humphries, that it would be impos-
sible for him to instruct Counsel, or for the clerks at this
office to supply the numerous depositions before the Grand
Jury broke up (the Court being then sitting) in so brief a
space of time, the Magistrate ordered the prisoners to be
taken back as a remand to Tothill-fields, and again brought
up yesterday to be sent to Newgate.
Mr. WHITE inquired whether the prisoners had any-
thing to say in defence, now that the whole of the case was
completed against them.

Norrington and Katon declined, and Kean expressed a
desire to have copies of the depositions in those cases where
he only was concerned, assuring the Magistrates that he
could not help Mr. Norrington having got into debt.
Mr. WHITE observed, that by a recent Act of Parlia-
ment prisoners were allowed to have copies of the deposi-
tions on the payment of a certain sum. The prisoners
should be accomodated by complying with the regulation.
Setford complained of the length and hardship of his im-
prisonment. He said he had been kept solitary 20 hours
of every 24.
Prisoners were then ordered to be sent to Ncwgate, and
in answer to the request, were informed that they might be
conveyed in a coach if they thought fit.
CRUEL AND UNFEELING ROBBERY.—EIiza Foley, a
middle-aged woman, was yesterday placed at the bar,
charged with robbing a poor woman, under the following
circumstances :

It appeared that the prosecutrix, Mrs. Bowen, residing
at 54, Orchard-street, had for a length of time been en-
gaged in attending her sick child, which expired on Monday
evening. Immediately after the poor infant's breath had
ceased, prisoner presented herself at the house, expressed a
great deal of solicitude, and offered to perform certain duties
which are necessary to the dead. Availing herself of the
distress of the mother, and the general confusion which
prevailed, she stole nine shillings from the mantelpiece and
some tea and sugar, and decamped, but was immediately
apprehended, and the property found on her person.
Mr. WHITE said the prisoner's conduct had been most
unfeeling, and fully committed her for trial.
The prosecutrix applied for the money, informing the
Magistrate that she should not be able to bury her child
without it.

Mr. WHITE thought that, under such circumstances as
these the undertaker would surely trust her.
The poor woman explained. It was to pay for the
ground, and they would have ready money.
Mr SVELTE said it was necessary to produce this parti-
cular money in court, but some friend would very likely
advance her nine shillings, and take the money produced
after the trial.
