TIIE CASE OF DE SOUZA AND OTHERS.— Charles
Emily Anne Smith, otherwise Emily Anne Findlay, otherwjr.
Emily Anne de Souza, Mary Davis, otherwise Sturmer,
f'°!
therine Ham, and Mary Anne Brickler, were arraigned ti
an indictment charging them with keeping a disorderly house
in the parish of St. Pancras.
Brickler, who was out on bail, did not surrender when
called upon to take her trial, and her recognizances were itc.:
cordingly ordered to be estreated. The
ant, Madame de Souza, pleaded not guilty in the first in-
stance. The other prisoners did the same.
Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared on behalf of all the pri-
soners, said, as he had no doubt the objects of the sower,
were to check vice, they would consider that the fact of the
commonly known as Madame de Souza, but whoa!
prisoner,
real name was Findlay, having given up the premises named
as the nuisance in the present indictment, would answer all
the purposes proposed by a prosecution. As for the other
principal defend
prisoners (with the exception of the man Smith) they were.
persons in the menial capacity of cook and charwoman, 111?_
it appeared possible that this fact might excite his Mena 11
feelings of compassion towards them as being most likely to
have acted passively and unwittingly..
