LAMBETH-STREET.

Saturday Robert Morgan, John Edwards, and Charles
Fitzgerald were charged with stopping Mary Anne
Pritchard, daughter of the inspector of the Bow-street
horse patrole stationed on the Stratford, Enfield, Epping,
and Romford district, in the forest on Friday, and taking
forcibly from her person a reticule containing a pocket
handkerchief and other articles of property, together with a
few pence. The evidence of Miss Pritchard was corro-
borated by a young lady who was with her at the time.

The prisoners were committed to Chelmsford gaol to
:ake their trial at the next Assizes for the county of Essex.

WORSHIP-STREET.

On Saturday evening a good-looking young woman,
about the age of twenty, was brought into the Office by
James Hanley, an officer of the establishment, to apply to
Mr. TWYFORD, the sitting magistrate, for his advice and
assistance under the following very distressing circum-
stances :

The poor creature was really an object of compassion,
being completely exhausted from fatigue. and hunger ; she
was in fact incapable of walking into the office without as-
sistance. Hanley informed the Magistrate that he had
about a quarter of an hour previous found the poor girl
lying prostrate on the flag stones of a court leading out of
Long-alley, Finsbury. He,. with assistance, took her to
Mr. Medcalf's, the Duke of Northumberland public-house,
adjoining to this office,and had every attention paid her, but
she, however, proved to be too far gone to take nourishment
of any description.
Mr. TWYFORD—Although a case of the greatest emer-
gency I have no power to order relief. No Magistrate, un-
fortunately, can interfere under the new Act. My feelings
will not, however suffer the poor creature to perish from
want, and if the overseers of Shoreditch, in which parish
she was found, will not relieve her or admit her into the
workhouse, I must commit her to prison for a month, on
her own statement, under the Vagrant Act.
Woman---I would feel greatly obliged if your worship
would send me to a prison. I would have a home there,
whereas now I have none.
The Magistrate wrote a note to Mr. Chost, the relieving
overseer of Shoreditch, stating that the wretched woman,
Mary Johnson, had been found destitute in that parish, and
she would certainly perish if not attended to. The Ma-
gistrate then gave her four shillings, and directed Hanley,
in case she was not admitted into the workhouse, to pro-
cure her a lodging and other necessaries, and on Monday

(this.day) to bring her again before him, when he wonla
commit her.
During Saturday, Mr. TWYFORD informed one of the
overseers of Bethnall-green parish that he had that n 3611.;
ing received a letter, in which was inclosed a sovereign for
a poor woman of the name of Amelia Jones, who was
few days since brought before him by Sergeant IVl`WilliarTi
of the H division of police, and charged with sleeping d
the open rir on the steps of a door in Church-street,
an
by his solicitation admitted into the poorhouse, until !d,
quiries could be made into her case. The letter, he Sal
had no signature.

NION-HALL.
James Clark, a wellU
-dressed young fellow, was char d,
with two other men (not in custody), with assaulting e
robbing a Mr. Hingley, near the Surrey Theatre. .'".5
complainant between one and two o'clock that morning?
he was walking from the Surrey Theatre towards Cnfe;
lotte-street, was stopped by the prisoner and two nt
men. They asked him where he was going; and, beforeu.
he had time to speak, one of them struck him a tremendVe
blow in the neck, and knocked him down. In failipding'tel/
called out " Murder !" and one of the three imm 00
picked up his (complainant's) hat off the ground, anleyo
off with it, followed by his companions. Mr. gintot,
cries of murder, however, brought a policeman to the the
and he secured the prisoner close to the place wbereoes
complainant was lying on the ground. The other two the
made their escape. The robbery was committed no; the
Magdalen, and there were no other persons passing
atime.
The prisoner was remanded.

THE SWELL MOB ON THEIR TRAVEL"
Doncaster, which at the season of the great StuiaLtis.eosgefulf
races is at all times the scene of desperate spec
