All remained quiet till between one and twoo'cicck in the
morning, when she was suddenly awoke by the brerAing
of a pane of glass in the lower part of the house ; she wet
up and went down stairs to ascertain the cause, when she
saw three men, who told her it would be better for her ter
keep quiet, and threatened to murder her if she made
any noise ; she then went to the other servants, and
having al irmed them, they all went together to an inn
about half a mile distant to obtain assistance. Having
called up the people of the house, some persons went back
with them within half an hour,, to the premises of her
mistress, when to their surprise they discovered the
whole of the inmates, her mistress, her three daugh-
ters, and her nephew, were gone, having taken their
wearing apparel and carried off all the portable articles
in the house, with the exception of the furniture.
The boxes belonging to the carriage, which bad been
in the house, had also been removed and placed in
the carriage, which was also gone. On making further
she found that her own room had been ransacked,
r box broken open and her c othea, together with
25/. in money, which she had saved in the course of her
servitude, taken away. The money was in a small box,

within one of a larger description. She could in no way
account for this sudden flight, but had understood the fa-
mily hart intended going to Worthing, and that she was to
have accompanied them. She came to town the same
deg, and went to the proprietor of the house in Newgate-
se.eet, y whotn she tow originally been referred to sltss
Forrest, but who now said he knew nothing of the parties,
beyond his house having been made a place of reference.
Sir F. A. Rost said it was certainly a strange_ and
mysterious story, but he could afford her no assistance.
The poor woman and Mr. Squire then quitted the office.
QUEEN- 8 QU ARE.
A LovEssrcar aLarsora.—Yesteroay Hannah Veale,
a matronly dame, upwards of forty years of age, with a
Portuguese cast of countenance, was charged under the
following circumstances :
Hannah lived in the service of a respectable family in
Cadogan-place, and has bees smitten by the goodly ap-
pearance of Mr. Cattelough, a green-grocer in Han:-
street, New-road, Chelsea. Mr. Cattelough is not gal-
lant enoat'h to return her affection, thouab she has fre-
quently told him site Boats upon, and that he is ever to
tier mind. A fortnight ago she was so enraged at his
coolness, that she slapped his face with a pair of shoes.
Hannah said, in reply to the charge of annoyance, than
the complainant had made proposals of marriage to her;
but the complainant denied this, and exhibited several
letters to confirm this statement.
The following is a copy of one of the lady's epistlea :

The defendant promised the Magistrate to restrain her
passions for the future, and was discharged, on a promise
not to go near the complainant again.
MAR YLEB ONE.

At a Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, held at the
Council Chamber of the Guildhall, London, this 7th day of
May, 1833,—0n the motion of Sir William Heygate, Bart.,
and seconded by William Taylor Copeland, Esq., Alderman, it
is hereby agreed that a vote of thanks to Joseph Ady, an inha-
bitant of this city upwards of 50 years, is due for his extraor_
dinary exertions, both for discovering unclaimed property, and
also of many of the owners thereof, and from the evidence of
the Attorney of W. T. Copeland, and three other gentlemen,
who is so far his friend as to offer 1,000/. on his integrity. We,
unanimously deeming him worthy of our patronage, hereby,
without solicitation on his part, or even his knowledge, consti-
tute ourselves his referees nein. con.

By the Court,
WOODTILORPZ.

ColonelCawthorn please to remit rne2Osliillings; twill inform
you of 711.105. due to you.—Respectfully, JOSEPH ADY.
11, Circus, Minories, May 10, 1823.

The reading of this mock resolution, which is a parody
upon the resolution passed in the Court of Alderman on
the 7th of May last, caused a great deal oflaughter.
His Lordship sent Mr. Brown, the Marshal, for Ady, re-
quiring his presence at the Justice-room, but Aey refused
to attend. He, however, told the Mars Eal, that he should
communicate with his friend, the Lord Mayor, by letter.
Soon afterwards the Lord Mayor received a letter by the
twopenny-post, of which the following is a copy

My Lord Mayor—lt is not quite to my mind to come to
Mr. Hobler's room, and to confess to a letter, &c.
If your Lordship will favour me with a call any day between
six and six, I will show you books convincing I deal in reali-
ties, or I will wait upon you in a private room to your ap-
pointment (otherwise than my dinner hour, one o'clock).
That proclamation of May 7th is daily rung in my ears by
friends, as well as others, calling me a liar upon exparte evi-
dence, and is universally allowed to be stabbing in the dark.
Keep me out of Hobler's company—there's mischief about
that man. I will make a treaty—l will excuse both stabs on
your promising me three presentations to Christ's Hospital for
my three nephews—one is old enough now. I think, as you
value punishing Coster and silencing me so highly, I let you
off very cheap—Respectfully, JOSEPH A DY.
15th August, 1833.

As Alderman Copland's franks have been frequently
monopolised by Mr. Ally's concerns, that Hon. Member,
c,tnsidering it his duty to disabuse the minds of those to
whom Ady addresses such communications as those re-
ferred to, came yesterday to the police-room, to request
that the Lord Mayor would cause to be advertised in all
the newspapers, the resolution to which the Court of
Alderman had come on the ith of May. He was accom-
panted by a friend who had just received one of Mr. At4's
promises of advantage, and references to the two above-
named Alderman, whom Ady endeavours to pass off as
his regular and determined patrons. The worthy Alder-
man complained bitterly of the hardship of being the victim
of such an impostor.
The LORD MAYOR said that it might be desirable to
have Ady present to answer to the charge, and he should
therefore, again send for that person.
Mr. Brown, the Marshal, again called upon Ady, but
Ady would not budge an inch. He had no wish at all to
have any thing to say or do with Mr. Hobler, who was
so much in the habit of looking at bad characters, that he
could not relish a good one.—(There was much laughter
at this complimentary allusion to himself.) Ady added
that he was determined to stand upon his rights. He
did not like to be rude, and would wish the Lord Mayor
to give him a call, and talk to him in private, but he bad
no taste for the newspapers, or fur Mr. Hobler and should
never go in their way again.

The following was then ordered to be extensively ad-
vertised, pro bono publico :
" CAUTION—LAURIE, Mayor.

John Daniel, a young man of determined aspect, was
i.',areed with having brutally assaulted his mother, Susan
Daniel.
Prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who resided ,vitb
her, was in the constant habit of ill-treating her. About
ten o'clock on Monday night, hearing that he was at a
neighbouring beersbop, she sent her youngest sun to re-
quest him to come, who shortly after returned crying, and
saying that his brother had struck him ; which words he
had hardly uttered before the prisoner came in, and was
going again to strike the boy, but she (prosecutrix) got
before him and prevented him, when the prisoner struck
her a tremendous blow on the face, which felled her to the
groundond whilst in that state kicked her severely on dif..
fereut parts of her body. She screamed nut " Murder,"
when some persons in the house came to her assistance,
and the prisoner was secured and given into custody.
It appearing in evidence that the prosecutrix had re-
ceived such internal injuries as were likely prove fatal, tl.c
prisoner, who admitted the fact, but expressed no contri-
tion, was remanded for further examination on Tuesday
next.

" At a Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen held in the inner
Chamber of the Guildhall, of the city of London, on Tuesday

land, King, &c.

" Whereas it hath been represented to this Court that a
person calling himself Joseph Ady, hath for some time past
been in the practice of sending letters to various persons in all
parts of the kingdom, stating himself to be in possession of in.
formation for their pecuniary advantage, and to afford the same
on payment to him of 20 shillings, and in some instances of five
shillings, and referring falsely in such letters for his character,
integrity, and responsibility to Sir William Heygate, Bart.,
William Taylor Copeland, Esq., and other members of the
Court of Aldermen, and to Mr. Francis Nobler, the Chief
Clerk at the Mansion-house, without having any authority for
such references; and also falsely adding to some of the said
letters that the said William Taylor Copeland, Esq., would be
security for him to the amount of 1,0001.; this Court do hereby
caution the public against paying any attention to such refer-
ences. relative either to the character, integrity, or responsi-
bility of the said Joseph Ady, WOODTH ROPE."
EXTENSIVE PLUNDER OF TEA.—•SiOAe and Collins,
the two persons who stand charged with having receive;
a large quantity of tea from the clerk of Mr. Nicholson,
were brought up for final examination.
Lucy Taylor, wife of George Taylor, No. 208, High.
street, Borough, grocer and tea-dealer, had known Stone
three or four yens by sight. A chest of tea bad been
brought to the house on Thursday by Sealey. It was
permitted to Mr. Taylor. Witness said it was not for
that house, and refused to receive it. She asked Sealey
from whom he brought it, and be replied from Mr.
Nicholson. He then took it away. In about a quarter
of an hour Stone called, and asked her whether she had
received a chest of tea. She said she had not received
it, but had sent it away, and Stone went away imme-
diately down the Borough in the direction in which Sealey
went. She saw Stone next day, who said to her, " I
permitted that chest in your name, and I've sold it to
another party. Will you give me a permit for it?" Wit-
ness asked him was it all right, to which he replied in
the affirtnative, and exhibited the blue permit. She, sup-
posing that she was not doing wrong, and seeing the East
India Company's permit, gave permission to Stone.
The LORD MAYOR—Why did_ you refuse to take the
chest of tea ? Was it because you thought it was wrong ?
Witness—Not at all. It was because. I did not want it.
I bad not the must distant idea that there was anything
wrong at all in any part of the transaction.
Mr. Hobler, jun.—Was Mr. Nicholson's name men-
tioned by Stone ? Witness said it was. -When she gave
Stone leave to draw the permit he men'ioned that the tea
was to be sold for Mr. Nicholson. Witness asked how
Mr. Nicholso❑ could snake such a sacrifice? To which
he replied that Mr. Nicholson wanted the cash.
Mr. Clarkson—Pray are you in the habit of buying
smuggled tea ? Witness—Not at all.
Mr. Clarkson said it would be necessary to look after
the young gentleman who had made the voluntary con-
fession.

Collins was then admitted to bail ; but
The LORD MAYOR addressed Stone in the following
manner :—" I should wish to keep my word given to
you yesterday, by admitting you to bail; but the addi-
tional evidence I have received is of such a nature that 1
thought it necessary to ask the opinion of the City
Solicitor, and he thinks as I certainly do myself think,
that it is my duty to commit you to Newgate for trial;
and you therefore stand committed."
Stone, in great agitation declared before God that the
circumstances were not truly represented to the Lord
Mayor. He (Stone) was not a purchaser at all ; he wa,
merely the agent for Mr. Collins, and he had only a trifling
agency from that person.
The LORD MAYOK—You must reserve that for you!
defence. You now stand committed for trial.
BOW STREET.

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—A Swiss woman, of
artless demeanour, who stated her name to he Louis,:
Wurchet, was yesterday conducted before Sir F. A. Rot:
by a Mr. Squire, a grocer, living at No. 55, Colem .ti-
street, City, to ask his advice under circumstances of rather
a peculiar nature.

The woman, about three weeks back, saw an advertise-
ment in a newspaper for a nurstry governess and lady),
maid to a family in the country, and directions ware
given to apply t "A. 8., at No. 115, Newgate street "
She made application at the place appointed, and was •
informed that the name of the advertiser was Mrs. For-
