THE BURGLARY BY A YOUNG
FEMALE AT EALING.
On Saturday, at the Brentford Petty Sessions, Hester
Elizabeth White, was finally examined on a charge of
burgldry at the house of Mr. Jones at Ealing, some par-
ticulars of which have appeared in 7he Sun. Mr. Den-
ton, solicitor, of Gray's Inn-lane, attended fcr the pro-
secution.
The prisoner, when placed at the bar, appeared to be
in a very weak state from the effects of the cold she
caught in the commission of the robbery, and she was
accommodated with a chair. She was respectably
dressed, rather short, and in countenance looked a hand-
some gipsy.
Mr. Jones, having identified the property found at
the prisoner's lodgings as part of that stolen from his
house on Tuesday, October 20,
Emma Kent deposed that she bed been in the service
of Mr. Jones for the last fcur yeas. The prisoner in
the month of September hut c ime on a visit to witness
by Mr. Jones's permission, during his absence, and
stayed eight or nine days. On the 20th ult. she again
called on witness at Mr. Jones's, as she said, to bid wit-
ness good-bye before she went to a situation at Bedford.
She came about six o'clock, and left about nine o'clock.
Witness, with the servant next door, accompanied the
prisoner to the Ealing station of the Great We tern
Railway, and sew her take her departure by the quarter-
past nice o'clock train, which is the last to Paddington.
On that evening witness fastened up the house between
five and six o'clock, and sprung the bars of the kitchen
window shutters. The next morning, when witness went
down stairs, she was greatly surprised at finding the
drawing-room door (pen, having seen it shut es
she went up to bed the night before, and on getting
into the kitchen she found that door shut which she had
left open, and the window shutters open, and the curtain
hanging down. She then saw on the window sill muddy
marks of some person having entered. Having searched
the house without missing anything, she gave infor-
mation of the circumstance to Mr. Jones. Saw nothing
suspicious in the prisoner's conduct the evening before
the robbery.
Inspector Loxton, T division, deposed to having re-
ceived information of the robbery on the morning of the
29th ult., and that he had examined the premises the
same day, when he found that the entry had been
effected by some flat instrument being introduced be-
tween the kitchen window-shutters, by which the bar
had been lifted up from the outside. He also found
footmarks, evidently of a female, on the lawn in front of
the kitchen window, and tracked them to the wall at the
side of the house, and over that in a field where he also
found the knife produced, which he had no doubt bad
been used to open the window•shutter. The knife was
Mr. Jones's. Witness had since traced the stolen notes
from the Bank of England, into which they had been
paid through the hands of several tradesmen, and one of
them, No. 88,061, to have been paid by the prisoner to
a Miss Warren, of Hanway-street, Oxford-street, in the
purchase of two pairs of stays, to whom the prisoner had
given her real name and address. Ou Friday, the 30th
ult., witness went to No. 20, Crown-court, Pall-mall, and
was shown by Mrs. Lee, the landlady, to the prisoner's
room. On entering, he found the prisoner and
another female in the room, both undressed, having
just got out of bed. That was about ten o'clock
in the forenoon. He told the prisoner he was come to
apprehend her for the robbery at Mr. Jones's, at Ealing,
the stolen notes having been traced to her, when
she became greatly agitated, and nearly fainted. In the
room he found wills and deeds and other documents
done up in a brown paper parcel, directed to Mr. Jones,
Woodland place, Ealing, and under the pillow the stolen
desk produced, with the coins and most of the stolen
articles, except the notes and sovereigns. He then took
the prisoner into custody.
Sergeant Tull, T 22, deposed to conveying the pri-
soner to the station-house at Ealing by railway. At the
Paddington terminus the prisoner said she hoped Emma
Kent would not be discharged through the robbery, as
no one was to blame but herself (prisoner) ; and, in
addition, she said, " they can't say I took anything ex-
cept that," meaning the desk. She also said she had
folded up the wills and deeds with the intention of send-
ing them back to Mr. Jones. Witness cautioned her
that what she said would be used against her, to which
she replied, " Never mind, I have no wish to conceal
anything."
The prisoner was further identified by Miss Warren,
who sold her the stays, as the person who gave her the
stolen 5L note ' • and also by Mrs. Glover, a person to
whom she had given the stolen penholder ; and Mrs,
Lee, the landlady where she lived in Crown-court, de-
posed to her coming home on the morning of the 21st
ult., about eight o'clock, wet through, and in an ex-
hausted state, and that she soon afterwards saw the
desk in the room, and the prisoner break it open.
The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was
committed.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.
We copy the following letter, addressed to the editor,
:roar the IVorthern Whig, Belfast paper:—
" Dundrurn, Nov. 5,1846.
";Sir,—This noble ship still retains her old berth; and
although every one was given to understand that Mr.
Mackintosh was to arrive here on Monday last, and com-
mence immediate Operations towards her rescue, such
has not been the case; and it is now confidently reported
that that gentleman has not undertaken to relieve her
`rem her present perilous position.
" The weather during the past week has been very
listerous, but has not in any way affected the Great
The owners and !index-writ( rs are reported to
lave come to the determination of leaving her as she is,
protected by a breakwater, for the winter. She will
have some ve,y severe weather to u.,ntcnd with, accom-
panied with heavy sels, as is well known upon this coast;
but, should the breakwater be efficiently moored, and the
holding ground stand, I doubt not but she will rough it
out, for the ensuing six mouths, without sustaining any

agr ph in borne oft he papers,
stating I had st3rilltl33i,'..-o-aanotrtunant in t:er Majesty's
navy, and that I took the credit of heaving off the Gor-
gon, which was contradicted by Mr. Ilinton. I beg
leave, through your ea'uable journal, to deny such being
the case. I never styled myself as such ; and where
such an error could have originated I am at a loss to
account. Mr. Ilinton deserves every credit for his exer-
tions upon the occasion alluded to. As to his never
having heard of me I am not surprised, as it is not the
general routine of the service for officers, on foreign sta-
tions, to leave their cards upon carpenters of men•of-
war. I was employed on the south-east coast of America,
from March, 1842, till December, 1845 ; and, conse-
quently, there during the whole of the operations, the
plans of which I have in my possession, and should bo
prepared to put into immediate execution, if called upon.

MUTINY IN A MERCHANT VESSEL.—The Ann, a
merchant vessel belonging to the port of London, the
property of Captain Saunders, left the West India ocks
on Wednesday, laden with a cargo valued at 16,0001.
She reached the Nore on Friday morning, when five of
the crew, Emerton, Moore, Marsh, Baker, and Howard,
exhibited symptoms of insubordination, end refused to
proceed further on the voyage, the latter knocking down
the mate and attempting to throw him overboard, but
was prevented by the pilot. In this dilemma, the vebssel

defendants acknowledged refusing to work the vessel,
and alleged as their reason for so doing that they had
not sufficient accommodation, neither was there a suffi-
cient number of hands for the purpose. Both these al-
legations were disproved, and the four first-named de-
linquents were committed to Maidstone gaol, with hard
labour, for thirty days, Howard was fined 5/. for the as-
sault on the mate, and in default committed for two
months to the same abode.
PAISLET.—Trade here has fully partaken of the

langour that is common throughout "'die manufacturing
districts for some weeks past. During the last four weeks
work has been gradually getting more difficult to obtain,
and in the course of last week and the present a con-
siderable number of workmen have been thrown idle.
We are glad to notice some slight prospect of an improve-
ment in this respect, and also the appearance of an early
commencement of the spring trade. Considerable orders
have been received for shipments to America this week,
and in several instances the idle hands have been sent
for, under the impression that the demand for autumn
goods will be greater than was anticipated, both for
home and foreign trade. We know of one extensive
establishment which is so busy supplying the home
market, that considerable orders for America have been
refused. In consequence of the same cheering news
from the other side of the Atlantic, the extensive thread-
work of the Messrs. Coats has again been ordered on
full time, which is a most gratifying occurrence to a
numerous sot of workers.—Raffrowskre Reforrnir.
