seized, and he verily believed that it was he ►vho
knocked him down.

Deaf Burke, having been made acquainted with
the complainant's statement, declared that he never
laid hand upon the gentleman who came into Row-
bottom's room, exclaiming in broken English, that
ioriie female had robbed him of half-a-crown.

Sir It. BIRNiE dismissed the warrant, observing
:hat the parties were all drunk together.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday an elderly man, named Rowan, living
in Belton-street, Long-acre, entered the office in u
state of the greatest agitation, and requested to
speak with the Magistrates.
Mr. WHITE desired him to state his complaint.

The applicant said that his (laughter Mary, a girl
of 17 years of age, had been inveigled away from
his house by a young man on last Monday, and,
from some circumstances which had come to his
knowledge, he had the strongest suspicion that he
had murdered her.

Mr. WHITE asked him if he knew where the
young man was to he found ?—The applicant said
that a few days ago he had enlisted in a dragoon
regiment, and he was to be found at the rendezvous
in York-street.

Mr. WHITE immediately despatched Ivimy, the
officer, with the father to bring the accused before
him, and in a short time the recruiting ser.jeartt and
several recruits came to the office.

The young recruit declared, on being questioned
by Mr. WHITE, that he had not seen Mr. Rowan's
daughter since last Monday morning, and that was
at her father's own house.

The complainant could prove by witnesses that
they were both seen on Monday going towards
Covent-garden market. He now knew tkat for
some time past they had been keeping company
together, and since he had taken his daughter away,
he had asked him where she was, and he replied—
" Your eyes must be wider than they are before
you see her again."
Mr. WHITE asked the complainant if he suspected
they were married ?—The complainant was positive
they were not. He should not have objected to it,
but he could not bear to see hie daughter a prosti-
tute. He felt convinced that she was murdered.

The recruit again declared that he knew nothing
of his daughter.
The complainant here pointed out to the Ma-
gietrates another recruit, a friend of the accused's,
who had seduced the daughter of a neighbour of
his away at the same time, and prevailed upon her
to rob her father.

The recruiting scrjeant said, that since Monday
no women had been with the recruits at the ren-
dezvous.

Mr. WHITE trusted the charge was not true.
There was no evidence before him that would justify
him in detaining the recruit, and he must be dis-
charged. . _

The unhappy father left the office apparently
quite heart-broken.

LA MB ETILSTREET.

Yesterday TVillion Coe, a stout•built muscular
fellow, was brought before the 31agistrates of this
office, charged on suspicion of being one of the men
who attempted to rob the hen-house of Mr. Bux-
ton, a farmer, at Shentield, near Brentwood, and
nearly murdering Mr. Buxton and two of his ser-
vants, who had attempted to secure them.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of, or partici-
pation in, the offence alleged to his charge, and
vas transmitted, under the care of the constables,
and a new policeman, to Brentwood, in order to his
undergoing an examination there before the local
Magistracy, as Mr. Buxton and his servants are still
so excessively ill from the effects of the injuries
they received, that it is deemed dangerous to re-
move them to town, in order to their identifying
the prisoner.
