MARY LEB ONE.

Thomas Preston, John Slough, George Allum,
and lllary Ann Jones, alias Preston, were yesterday
brought before Mr. RAwLINSON, the three former
charged with burglariously entering the premises of
Mr. Samuel Howard, a dealer in timber, residing at
No. 10, Dorset-mews-west, and stealing therefrom
two watches, together with various articles of plate,
wearing apparel, &c., and the latter with having re-
ceived a portion of the said property knowing it to
have been stolen.

Sergeant Horsford, of the D. division, No. 6,
having received information of the robbery, pro-
ceeded on Tuesday evening to the lodgings of the
female, Jones, at No. 3.1, Little North-street, Mary-
lebone, and, in the presence of another officer, Futzey,
searched her apartments, arid found between the bed
and the sacking thereof no fewer than twenty-seven
skeleton keys in a bag ; search was then made in
other parts of the room, when fourteen duplicates
for property of various kinds pledged in the name of
Preston, with whom she had been cohabiting, were
discovered; as also a handsome decanter-stand, an
elegant work-box (in which were some cards en-
graved" Mrs. Stafford Smith," to whom the box in
all probability belonged),- a gold ring, silver thim-
ble, and other articles of no great value, together
with some dice, a chisel, a file, two packs of cards,
3s. 6d, in silver, and a letter, of which the following
is a copy :
" Dear Mdry,—l tak this opportunity of riting this fit

Horsford then went on to state, that ha'
given the female Jones (who cried much, and dents
all knowledge of the business) into the custody'
another policeman, he went directly to the Hero

public-house, in Devonshire-street, accompanied ,5
Furzey, where they found, in the tap-room, Prest°,l,
and Slough, and conveyed them to the statil
house. On searching Preston a duplicate for aO4
handkerch'ef, pledged with Mr. Trail, 17, NO

son, in consequence of which he (witness) 110°.
further inquiry, and ascertained that one of the Pr!_j,
secutor's watches had been pledged at the abr,
shop the previous day, in the name of Preston.
Various articles of property found having beS
produced, and examined by the presecutrix...°±
whom all (with the exception of the work-14
supposed to have been stolen from the lady who!!
cards it contained) were identified, the prisoner!
who made a very lame defence, and who, thereM
good reason to imagine, form part of an externsil
and well-organized gang of burglars, were remand!
for further examination on Friday next.
A separate charge of embezzlement was go.°
into by the prosecutor against Alluni, upon whirl'
he stands committed.
HATTON-GARDEN.
Tuesday evening Mary Smith, a young woms°
of rather interesting appearance, was brought before
Mr. SELLON, charged by William Roupel, Esq.,
reverend-looking gentleman, with powdered hair,
&iota 60 years of age, residing in Great Ormoo
street, Queen-square, and said to be a Master. ill
Chancery, with having annoyed him under the fol'
lowing circumstances :--
The prosecutor, on Tuesday evening, about half'
past six o'clock, was walking along Holborn, when
he was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him fat
money, and challenged him with being the father of
her illegitimate child. She pursued and annoyed
him for a considerable distance, until he was neat'
sitate:l to enter the shop of a tradesman, in order to
avoid her insults. He remained there for some
time, when, thinking that the prisoner had gone
about her business, he quitted the place; but
he was again met by her and another woman, and
he was followed and insulted in the grossest rnannfr
possible by both of them until he arrived at his
residence at Great Ormond-street, where the prt'
goner and her companion continued their reproaches
and abuse until Mrs. Roupel drove up in her car'
riage, when a policeman was called, and the prisoner
given into his custody.
The policeman proved that the prisoner was
making use of violent language, near the proseetr
tor's house.
Mr. Rqupel, after giving his evidence, took his
seat by the side of Mr. Sellon, who asked the pri"
sorter what she had to say for herself ? The pri'
soner, in a violent manner, did not deny having
followed the prosecutor, and said that he was the
father of her illegitimate child. He knew it, sod
he,had given her money before then, and she merely
followed him to request money for its support.
Roupel—l declare to your Worship that what
she asserts is entirely false. I have not seen the
woman for the last 12 months, and this is the first
that I ever heard of the baby.
Prisoner—You know that you are the father of
my child, and no one else, and I am determined
that you shall support it.
Mr. Roupel (rising from his seat, and thumping
the table)—On my oath, your Worship, I declare
that lam not the father of her baby. All that I
know of the woman is, that about three years ago
she called on me at my chambers, and represented
that a family named Connor had some property in
Chancery, and requested me to lend my exertion.
and influence to get it for them, which I did.
Knowing them to be in distressed circumstances; I
frequbntly advanced them money, but I know no
more about her.
Prisoner (violently, and crying)—Ob, don't sal
so, Mr. Roupel. I always thought you were a gen-
tleman; you can't deny being the father of the
child. You must recollect well the time when
caled upon you at your chambers in the New Inn,
where you gave me a sovereign and a half (shaking
her head earnestly at Mr. Roupel). Now can you
deny it ? Ah, no you can't, you know you can't.
Mr. Roupel—l certainly cannot deny having had
connection with her, but that was three years ago,
and I never heard of a baby before this.
Prisoner—Yes, you knew it; you remember
when I called at your chambers, and you came ill
with your gown and wig on, don't you ?
Mr. Roupel again denied being the father of the
child, and said that himself and his family had been
seriously annoyed by the prisoner. She was kmar-
ried woman.

Prisoner—Yes, I am married, but still the child
belongs to you. I have been married these two years.
Mr. SELLON—Even so, you have no right to an-
noy the gentleman in the manner you have done.
You have your remedy, and ought to pursue a pro'
per and legal course.
Mr. Roupel—Certainly.
Prisoner—And I will do it. I will have support
for the child.
She was proceeding in a violent strain, saying
that nobody else was the father of the child, and
she was determined to have money for its support,
when

Mr. SELLON ordered her to find bail.
Waddington, the gaoler, was about to lead her
from the bar, when she resisted in a violent mminer,
exclaiming," Don't handle me; I will have support
for my child; I will have money;" and it was with
considerable force and difficulty that she was taken
w the lock-up cell at the beck part of the office..
Mr. Roupel shortly afterwards quitted the office,
and the prisoner waseeventually taken to prison.

JOSEPH ADY.—This worthy has turned his
attention to the interests of the highest people in the com-
munity, of late he has been troubled with so many farthing
customers. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert
Peel were favoured in the latter eud of the week with
letters from him, informing them that open payment of a
pound a-piece, he should make them a communication
which would he advantageous to them. His Grace Attd
Sir Robert immediately transmitted Ady's letters to the
Lord Mayor. A few days ago Joseph Ady was summoned
to the Court of Requests for 1/. paid.
,t 9 him
.by the
plaintiff for the information from which the latter re-
ceived no advantage. The Court immediately ordered
the same to be refunded. It is believed that all who have
b.-en lately induced to give money to Ady fo, bamboozling
them in this way will resort to the same means of re-
dress.
