before Mr. Lushington, charged with stealing gloves, lace
and a quantity of other articles of the value of £lO, the
property of her employer. Mr. J. Alsop, appeared for
the prisoner. The prosecutor said that in consequence of
some information he received yesterday, he called the
prisoner, who was in his employ as an assistant upstairs,
and asked her what her real name was, and she replied,
" Shirry." He then asked her if she had any other
name, and she made no answer. He then put some
more questions to her, and asked to see her
boxes, and on her opening them he found in
them goods of different kinds of the yelpe of about
£lO, and she admitted having taken them from his shop,
but Laid she intended to put them back. He then gave
her in charge. James Middleton, local constable, of
Hanway-street, said he was called to the prosecutor's, and
prisoner given into his charge for.robbing the prosecutor,
and on going to her room the prosecutor found a quantity
of his property in her boxes. Aften being cautioned the
prisoner said she. had taken the, things, was sorry for it,
and did not know what had induced her to do it. In reply
to Mr. Alsop, the witness said he did not hear the pri-
soner say she intended to put • the things back. Mr.
M'Darhy wished the prisoner to be leniently dealt with
as he had ascertained she was the mother of one or two
children. In reply to Mr. Lushington, the prosecutor
said the prisoner had been in his employ only three weeks,
and he had a character with her, but not from her last

he had been informed that the prisoner got the situation
through an advertisement in the Christian Times, and that
she gave a false name. Mr. Lushington remanded the
prisoner that the inspector might make inquiries.
SCENE IN A GAY HOUSE.—John Gone, of 159, Lupus-
street, Pimlico, was brought up at the Westminster
Police-court, charged on three summonses with assault.
Mr. W. D. Smyth, who prosecuted; said the defendant
kept a house, commonly called " gay," and had young
women there wha received the visits of gentlemen. A
Miss Gordon, who was under the protection of a gentle-
man, took apartments at the defendant's house, and being
ill. had a young girl staying with her and a !servant. Some
dispute arose after two days, in consequence of the
defendant's wife attempting to cheat Miss Gordon
out of seven shillings, and during • the absence
of Misa Gordon, the defendant got into her
parlour window and ejected the servant► When
Miss Gordon and her friend returned home they
were both violently ejected by the defendant and turned
out of doors at half-past one in the morning in a drench-
ing lain, after only being in the house two days; when a
gentleman and the police came to their assistance, the
gentleman was violently assaulted and the police threatened.
A lame defence was set up, and-it was dentendecl that the
servant and friend were not allowed in the house, but
Miss Gordon, who was the lodger, was not denied admit-
tance. The gentleman was the father of one of the parties,
and in pulling him out they all fell down together. Mr.
Woolrych was of opinion that the assault was violent and
uncalled for, and fined the defendant 545. •in all, or six
weeks. The money was paid.
