HARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A MAJOR'S DAUGHTER
"Yesterday Miss Matilda Brew, twenty-six years of age
the daughter of Major Brew, residing on Uxbridge Moor
was finally examined before Messrs. 'l'. Dagnall and R. H
Cox, the sitting magistrates at Uxbridge, on the following
charges of obtaining goods under fraudulent pretences.
The first case gone into was for having obtained two cap
fronts from the shop of Mr. G. G. Western, milliner, at Hil-
lingdon End. It appeared that on the 2d instant the pri-
soner went to the above shop and asked to see some cap-
fronts, saying they were for Mrs. Bedborough, the wife of
a large grocer in 'Uxbridge, and that one of them must be a
pini, antiu one, as that was tor a young tarty who was staying
at Mrs. Bedborough's, who had a fair complexion, and had
fixed on one of that colour. She selected two fronts of the
description she wished, and Miss Western lent her a box
to take them in. After she had left with them another cap-
front; made up of blue satin ribbon, was missed from the
shop, which led to inquiries being made at Mrs. Bed-
borough, and the discovery of the fraud. On the 4th inst.,
Beachey, a policeman of the 1' division, executed a distress
warrant at the house of Major Brew, and there found in a
cupboard two pieces of the two cap fronts, and the blue
satin one, which had been stolen. The prisoner was not at
that time at home, but the policeman traced her to the house
of Mr. Lovejoy, at Iver, Bucks, and from there to the house

of another frijzid, in Andrew's-buildings, City-road, where
he took her into custcdy. In the second case the evidence
proved that the prisoner, on the Bth of October last, went to
the shop of Mr. Jesse Jones, draper, of Uxbridge, saying that
she was Miss !Leming, of Hillingdon, and upon that re-
presentation obtained a shawl, for which she did not pay,
which shawl was found at her father's house when searched
by policeman Beachy. In the third case it appeared that on
Oct. 30, the prisoner also went to the shop of Mr. G. Lane,
draper, of Uxbridge, and asked to see Lome dresses for her
sister, saying that her name was Western, and that she was the
daughter of the prosecutor in the first case, and upon that
representation obtained three dresses to show which had
never been returned. The prisoner was committed for trial
on each of the three charges, but on the application of Major
Brew, who attended the examination, she was admitted to
bail, herself in 501. and two sureties in 251. each, in each
case. Charles Shell, late a shopman to Mr. Jesse Jones, the
prosecutor in the second case, was subsequently charged with
having robbed his employer f property and money to a large
amount. It appeared that the prisoner's depredations were
discovered before he left Mr. Jones's employ, but his friends
making good to Mr. Jones the amount, no proceedings were
taken. it was subsequently ascertained that the amount
was much greater than was supposed, and that he had placed
eighteen sovereigns in the haLds of a female, and another
lot of sovereigns was buried in a garden. Inspector Cook,
T division, stationed at Uxbridge, apprehended the prisoner
at another situation at Woodford, in Essex. The prisoner
was remanded until Monday next for the production of the
necessary witnesses.

PAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATION.—The operation
of lithotomy was yesterday performed at the Gphthalmic Hos-
pital by Mr. Charles Guthrie, the patient (a male adult)
having previously been thrown into a state of stupor by the
inhalation of ether, administered by Mr. Robinson's appa-
ratus. The experiment was quite successful, the man, upon
his recovery from the effects of the ether, declaring that he
had not been conscious of the least pain. He exclaimed,
" It's all right—thank you, gentlemen," upon being re-
moved from the operating table. Subsequently a woman
ras operated on for strabismus. The ether, however, in this
case, did not produce the usual effect. It ought, however, to
be stated that to a defect in the apparatus the failure was at-
tributed.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT THE CAMDEN TOWN RAIL-
WAY STATION.—Ora Tuesday night, between nine and ten
o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character occurred at
the Camden Town railway station to a man, named James
Saunders, aged twenty-six, employed by the company. It ap-
pears that the unfortunate man was at the hour above stated
employed in running off the waggons with the down-train
luggage, when he was suddenly caught between the buffers,
and so seriously injured as to render his immediate removal
to the University College Hospital necessary, where he was
placed under the care of Dr. Quain, the house physician, who
pronounced him to be in a dangerous state. fie remaitid
now in a very precarious condition.

and co-heiress of Montagu Burgoyne, Esq , which lady died
some year since.
