LAMBETH.

Lydia Hart, a fat swarthy gipsy, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Elliott, for further examination on a charge of
felony.
On the former examination it appeared that in the month
of February last the prisoner knocked at the door of a house
in Nelson-square. and on a young woman, the servant, an-
swering her, she first asked her to purchase some laces,
which she exhibited, and next urged her to have her for-
tune told, saying she would tell it her for half-a-crown. The
young woman had not then the required sum to give her -,
but another meeting was appointed, when the prisoner told
her she should " charm" the young man who courted her at
once to marry her, provided she gave her a sovereign or a
sovereign's worth. The young woman gave her I Os. in money
and several articles of wearing apparel, for " charming" her
young man, and soon afterwards they were married. The
fact of his wife having parted with the things coming to the
ears of the husband, he made a stir in the matter, and an ap-
plication was made to the prisoner to return the money and
articles, but she refused to do so.
Maria Foster was called, and upon being sworn, deposed
that on the sth of February last, she called upon her present
sister-in-law in Nelson-square, and there found the prisoner
in conversation with her. The prisoner also addressed her,
and asked her to have her fortune told, and she gave her a
shilling for telling her fortune. The prisoner told her she
was likely to come in for a deal of property, and also said
that if she called on her another day, and gave her a sove-
reign, or the value of it in goods, she would tell her the exact
time when she should get the property. Witness said she
had not that sum, nor the means of procuring it, upon which
the prisoner told her she might take the property of her mis-
tress. This, however, she refused ; and subsequently applied
to the prisoner for the restoration of her sister-in-law's pro-
perty, but she refused to give it. She then told her that it
was her sister's intention to apply to a magistrate about the
things, and her reply was that she might do so, and be
d---d.

Mr. Games, who attended for the prisoner, submitted that
there was nothing felonious in the charge, as Mrs. Foster had
admitted, in her cross-examination by him, that she had
merely lent the things to the prisoner.
Mr. ELLIOTT observed that it was quite clear the prisoner
bad obtained the property by trick and device, intending, at
the same time, to apply it to her own use, and he should
therefore send her before a jury for trial.
Mrs. Foster was for some cause or other absent, and the
prisoner was in consequence remanded to another day.

CANDID —A poor woman, on Tuesday last, went
into the shop of Mr. Moore, baker, Ancoats-street, Man-
chester, to purchase a 41b. loaf. On putting down a shilling
in payment, she remarked, " That, sir, is the last shilling I
have in the world, but when this loaf is eaten I will come
again and take a loaf, whether I have money or not, and then
I shall be sent to the New Bailey!" adding, " You know, sir, I
have been a regular customer for many years, but there is not
one of our family that is in work, nor any prospect of being
o." Things are approaching a crisis, and of this our autho-
itics are aware.

Mr. O'Connell landed at Genoa on the 6th instant,
but, in consequence of a alight indispositions resolved to con-
tinue his journey to Leghtrr♦ by land.
