POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CLERKENWELL. TEE ILLEGAL TRAFFIC IN
YOUNO WOMEN FROM 11A3IRURGII.—A. respectably-
dressed young woman, of the name of Johanna Duver-
ger, was placed at the bar before Mr. Currie, charged
with stealing four cab() shirts, the property of Mr. F.
A. Bauer, a professor of music, residing at No. 6, Fea-
therstone-buildings, Holborn.

Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Shaen, the solicitor of the
Ass ,ciate Institution for Improving, and Enforcing the
Laws for the Protection of Women, attended for the de-
fence.

The prisoner in this case is a native of Hamburgh,
whence she came in Au;met last from the house of her
parents, who are respectable tradespeople, to take the
position of general servant in the house of, as she be-
lieved, a Mrs. Bauer, of No. 6, Featherstone-buildings,
Holborn. The place had been procured for her through
a servants' office in Haniburgb, kept by a Mr. and Mrs.
Lutseus. She carnerextremely well provided with clothes,
and with various little articles of personal ornament.
When she came to the place she found that her mistress
had been a Mrs. Bauer, but had married again, a man
named Kratsman', and was keeping a lodging-house,
having a grown-up son (the prosecutor) living with them.
The wages she was to receive was 6s. per month. From
the time of the prisoner's arrival she has never received
any wages at all, and whenever she has asked for them
her mistress has told her to go out in the streets and see
gentlemen, and get money from them. This has several
times been done, and the girl has, when thus sent out,
passed the evening at the house of a German acquaint.
ance, and she declared that she bas never had improper
connection with any one. From time to time Kratsman
has sent her to pawn a number of her personal orna-
ments, ineluding a brooch, a pair of ear-rings, a ring, a
gold locket, a silver r • icil-case, &c., arid she has handed
the money thus obtained to Mrs. Kratsman. Soon after
she came, the step-son, Mr. Bauer, sail he would teach
her English if she would sleep with him, but this
she always refused to do. He has at various times
an to a fortnight ago repeated these solicitations.
Ab iut six weeks ago a gentleman, with his wife and
family, came to lodge+) the house, and very soon after-
wards the prisoner spoke to the lady's private maid, and
also to the lady's daughter, begging to be relieved from
• her position, and at different times mentioned the facts
above detailed, almost all of which were known to the
lady prior to Friday last. On that morning the prisoner
came down about seven o'clock, as usual, and went into
the front parlour to clean the room. Toe prosecutor was
there, and as soon as he saw her he began abusing her
fir having complained of him to the lodgers, and for
having written against him home to her mother; and
he ultimately struck her with his fist and with his open
hand on her face. The lady and her da•ghter both
heard the scuffle, and the girl rushed up stairs to them
for protection, with the marks of the blow distinctly on
her face. The maid servant also heard the scuffle, and
saw the mark of the blow. From that time the lady
kindly took the girl under her protection, acid on the
afternoon mentioned the circumstances of the case to her
husband, who at once put it into Mr. Shaen's hands ;
and he on behalf of the Associate Institution for Im-
proving the Laws for the Protection of Women took the
matter up. On Saturday Mr. Shaen took out a sum-
mons against Mr. Bauer for the assault, and the case was
heard before Mr. Corrie on Tue,clay, when, after a ram-
bling defence, in which Mr. Bauer cross-examined the
prisoner and the witnesses at great length, the magis-
irate suggested that the case should stand over gene-
rally to give Mr. Shaen the opportunity of making fur-
ther inquiries as to the girl, it being alleged that her
complaints had already been inquired into, and found to
be unfounded by the Hamburgh court, Mr. Shaen also
stair g that they would in the meantime take charge of
the girl. On Thursday, as this gentleman and his
family were leaving their lodgings the girl was given
in charge by Mr. Bauer and Mr. Kratsman, on a
charge of stealing and pawning shirts. She was taken
off to the station-house, where she was kept all
night. Before she went, however, an offer was
made to her to withdraw the charge of robbery, if
she would withdraw the charge against Mr. Bauer,
which she declined to do. The case was gone into on
Friday, and then adjourned until Saturday, when the
first witness called was—

F. A. Bauer, who stated that he was a professor of
music. The prisoner was in his father's service up to
Friday week. There were a good many shirts of his
missing, and from information received he rent to the
shop of Mr. Ward, a pawnbroker, in Holborn, and saw
four shirts, pawned at different times, which he identi
fled as his property. Ile had never sent her to pawn a
single shirt at any time.

Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—lt was not until after
the charge of assault had been preferred against me that
I made a search, and ascertained that the prisoner had
stolen my shirts. I do not know how many times a
week I have seat her to the pawnbroker's. Not so
many as 30 or 40. I may have sent her two or three
times with shirts. Ido not know whether Mrs. Krats-
man evrr sent her to pawn shirts. The prisoner's wages
were to be 3/. 12-,. a-year. I do not consider that too
much for a young woman aged 21. I was charged at
this court on Tuesday with slapping her in the face.
She al-„ charged me with taking i,:decent liberties with
,er. Ido not know that when the girl has asked for
her wages she has not received them. She was to stop
io our service for 12 months, to repay us the money we

which I have sent the prisoner to pawn.
Mrs. Emily Schiel identified two of the shirts pro-
•luced as her property. She never gave the prisoner or
any other person li env to pawn them. She had never
sent the prisoner at all for her.

Cross-examined by Mr. Ri,ry—tier husband was con•
victed a shoo t time since for forgery, and was sentenced
to penal servitude.

An agAstant to Nir. Ward, the pawnbroker, produced
the shirts, but said be should not like to swear who
awned them, for the may; niel to fetch things pawned
oy the prisoner, and the prisoner has redeemed goods
pa wnedby the prosecutor.

Mr. C.rrie said he would discharge the prisoner, and in
.0 doing he could not help saying that the lady had be.
Ifived very kindly in the matter, and in a way that was
to be expected from an English gentlewoman.

am ,unt of human misery and promote in the greatest degree
the sum of human happiness, the highest meed of praise and
gratitude is due, it would be hard to point to any man so
eminently deserving of that meed as Mr. Du Barry, the dis-
coverer of the now celebrated Revaleuta Ara ,ica Food. The
good effected by others, whether patriots, politicians, or
what not, may be problematical, may be probable ; it is at all
events matter of hypothesis. The good done by Mr. Du Barry
is tangible, undoubted, unquestioned, and unquestionable.
