MARY LEBOIVE.

A pretty-looking girl, named Ellen North, only
twelve years of ago, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Broughton, charged with having
stolen three rolls of
ribands the property of Messrs.; Spencer and Hall, 76,
Lisson-grove.
Alvey Bendall deposed that on the same afternoon the
prisoner came into the shop and purchased a yard of
riband. She paid for it, and went away, and imme-
diately after he missed three rolls of ribund from a
basket which had been placed before her on the counter.
Ile (witness) followed and overtook her in Duke-street,
when the stolen property was found in her possession.
Mr. BR9UGHTON—Did she give it up to you when
you stopped her? Witness—She gave me one roll, and
the other two I took from her pocket.
Mr. BROUGHTON—ad she make any observation
when you got possession of the riband? Witness—She
cried, and all that she said was, that she had been de-
coyed away from her home by a woman who lived at
No. 17, Lower William-street, Portland-town; she was
given into the custody of Police-constable 70 D.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—Where does your
mother live? Prisoner—At N 0.14, John-street.
Mr. BRoUGHToN—When did the woman decoy you
away ? Prisoner—On Taesday night.
Mr. BROUGHTON—IIiad you ever S,:etl, her before?
Prisoner—Yee. Sir, in our street.

Mr. BROUGHTON—Is she an old woman?—She is.
Mr. BROUGUTON—When she first spoke to you what
did she say ? Prisoner—Sh:,; came in and asked me if I
would live with her, and I said no; but she pulled me
away from my mother's door, and took me to her r,,om,
saying that she would give me a shilling a day and my
victuals.
Mr. BROUGHTON—WhiIe you were with her did she
introduce you to any gentlemen? Prisoner—She wished
to do so s(.veral times, and tried all in her power, but I
would not have any of them introduced to me, for I
know it was wrong.
The mother, a respectably dressed woman, entered the
court bathed in tears, and said that her daughter's ab-
sence from home had caused her much misery, and she
had no doubt the old woman had taken the child away
for the worst of purposes; she was continually after her.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next, and
the policeman was directed to gain all the information he
could with regard to the old woman, by whom the
child had, as alleged, been induced to quit her maternal
roof.
The MAGISTRATE was of opinion that it might turnout,
upon inquiry, which should be necessarily instituted into
the matter, that the case was one which would be looked
upon as coming within the sphere of duty of " the So-
ciety for the Protection of Young Females," an institu-
tion largely patronised, and which had effected a vast
amount of good.

ARTHUR CONWAY; OR, SCENES IN THE TROPICS.
By CArrairt MILMAN. —We can accord this work many
hearty terms of praise. It is not only interesting as a well-
written, lively, exciting work of fiction, but valuable as a
series of sketches of the civilization and progress of the West
Indies, embodying the reminiscences of scenery and cha-
racter preserved by the author during a residence in the
Caribbee islands. But the drama which moves in the tro-
pics does not open there. The curtain rises in England, and
displays scenes of remarkable power and originality, particu-
larly those with the priest, the baronet, and the dying woman
in Sir Walter Conway's house. We are then transported to
the islands of the West Indian Ocean, amid planters, ne-
groes, mulattoes, and the characteristics of such a climate.
West Indian life here begins to be depicted, and it affords
some very curious and entertaining accounts. The scenes
where the Caribs are introduced are quite original in romance.

she commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which
