BOW-STREET.—A case of frightful depravity vf uLt- led
before the Magistrates yesterday. A young woman Viall;b bet
with robbing her father and mother, attempting to smetinl•
mother yesterday morning, and her brother and sister scl.e., sno
since ; also to destroy herself in more instances than e,ntele•
other acts of deep and gross depravity most horrid to Pi'
plate. .500119
The father and mother are hard working industringsjjjed
residing in Orange-street, Leicester-square ; they etentsp.."
give their evidence in great distress. From their stateu'by
appears that the prisoner refused to work for her atlas:
continuing in service, or when she was at home, to led sin
needle, &c. instead of which she read novels:l4
lived in a state of idleness. She broke open boxes, drilw—iauee.s,`"
procure articles of property to pledger sell, with the PA, fropw,
which she bought novels to read, which had put Wu"' ow
eareayset,
and romantic notions into her head, that she app
delirious, at least to nothing else could her idle, exillindline
and outrageous conduct be attributed. Her taking "-istalP‘
to destroy herself was discovered in time to prevent the destbf
fects of it. She then endeavoured to bleed herself ta to 0.
which had reduced her from a plump hearty looking 50 lit
very puny appearance—so much so, that although, sto stare
she appears to be only 14. She has also attempteP ,atarttv
herself to death, refusing to take any thing to eat froo2'"--
night to the Tuesday following.
The Magistrate doubted if she could be in her 070045
asked if any medical gentleman had attended her? en,. &, fie
informed Dr. Scarr, of Castle-street, Leicester-square,
ordered her to be confined till the evening, when he ,
