THAMES.
Caroline Ayres, a young woman about 20 years of
age, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing
various sums of money' belonging to her • master, Mr.
George Blake, landlord of the King of Prussia public -
house, is Cartwright-street, Rosemary-lane.
The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Blake as
bar-maid for one year and nine months. Her wages
were only Si. per annum, besides board and lodging, and
when she entered her master's service she was very poor
and possessed of very little clothing. For some time
past Mr. Blake, who is a widower, and placed great
confidence in the prisoner, ascertained that his receipts
did not at all correspond in amount with the sale of
spirits, ale, and beer. He was slow to suspect any one,
and his losses continued to increase to an alarming cx
tent. At last he began to entertain suspicions of his
bar-maid, and ascertained sho was in the practice of
making large purchases, spending a good deal of
money, and that she was about to be married.
Having been informed by another woman in his
service that the prisoner had given her money
out of the till to melte purchases for her, he called
in police-sergeant Eves, No. 14 If, and Chaplin, a con-
stable, No. 104 14, who commenced searching her boxes
and drawers. While Eves was engaged in searching a
drawer in the prisoner's bed-room, she took a piece of
paper out of a box, and before he could stop her she put
it into her mouth, and made an attempt to swallow it.
Eves without any ceremony grasped her by the throat
and made her disgorge the paper. In doing so she was
nearly choked. After a great struggle he obtained pos
session of it. The writing upon it was the prisoner':
own, and commenced thus, " Already bought, 201 10s.
6d.," and then recited a list of various articles, including
a bedstead, bedding, table covers, Chinese ornaments,
vases, &c , recently purchased to the amount of 51.. more.
Eves then continued his search, and found the prisoner's
boxes crammed with the most expensive articles of
wearing apparel, including a cardinal cloak of the best silk,
a new dress, five shawls, four cards of lace, and four hand-
some bonnets trimmed with -the most elegant ribbons.
The other articles were of a miscellaneous description,
and their production exhibited sufficient proof that the
prisoner had made extensive preparations to go into
housekeeping with her intended husband on her owe
account. The purchase of these goods by the prisoner
could only have been effected by continually robbing her
master, and the deficiency in his receipts was at once,
accounted for. A large piece of calico was also found in
one of her boxes, and it appeared from the evidence of :(
fellow-servant that a few days since the prisoner took
ss. in halfpence, out of the till, and directed her to
purchase some calico and a pottle of strawberries. A
bed, bolster, and two pillows, which the prisoner bought
a few days ago, were deposited in a house next door to
the King of Prussia, and were taken possession of by the
police. The prisoner bad not forgotten to purchase a
very handsome lady's silver watch, and jewellery to
adorn her person, and the police laid their ruthless hands
on this ptoperty also, and would not allow her the use of
the gold eardrops, brooch, ring, and keeper, which she
intended to wear for the first time on her wedding-day.
While Chaplin was looking over the back kitchen he ob-
served the bride in expectancy cover a wet cloth over
the dresser. He raised it, and found a silver watet
valued at five guineas. The prisoner wished her master
the police, and the magistsate, to believe that she was
enabled to make the extensive purchases she had done
out of her wages-81. per year, but they were not sc;
credulous; they believed Mr. Blake's till supplied her
with the money.
The prisoner, who treated the affair with much levity,
said she purchased the calico with her master's [none)
for the use of the house.
Mr. Blake said he had never authorised the prisoner
to do anything of the kind.
Mr. YARDLEY remanded the prisoner for a week.
SOUTH WARK.
Mr. Seeker, one of the magistrates of this Court,
held a long investigation in the lobby of the Queen's
Prison, relative to a charge of assault brought by
Hart Davis against Mr. J. L. Barrotti, Captain Clarke,
Major 7'a?full, and Mr. Bean. All parties were prisoners
at the time.

Mr. Sims attended for the prosecution.
From theAstatement of the complainant, it appeared
that on the evening of Wednesday, the 14th, while on
the ground of the prison, he was suddenly attacked by
Barrotti and Clarke, who knocked him down and kicked
him severely. The other two defendants subsequently
took part in the attack upon him, and continued to ill
treat him until he was rescued by some of the watch
men and turnkeys. He was so much injured as to be
obliged to go to the infirmary for the night.
Mr. Parry, who appeared for the defendants, said that
he could prove that the complainant's statements were
very much exaggerated, and cross examined him with
the view of showing that his previous conduct had been
calculated to give great cause of provocation. He hoped
that the magistrate would deal summarily with the case,
and consider that an apology from Mr. Barrotti would
be sufficient reparation.
Mr. SECKER having intimated that he should send the
eve before another tribunal,
Mr. Parry said that he should not, in that case, call
his witnesses.
Tho charge was then referred to the next sessions, all
the parties being bound over to keep the peace in the
meantime.
