The Female Barman.

So soon as the night charges and the usual re-
mands had been disposed of at the Southwark Police-
court yesterday, the court was besieged by a dense
and unruly mob anxious to see Mary Walker, who
was remanded on a charge of robbing her master,
Mr. Frederick Browne, of the Royal Mortar Tavern
Loudon-road, where she had been three months em-
ployed as barman. When brought before his worship
on the first examination the prisoner was dressed in
male attire, and from her appearance it would have
been difficult for any one to have suspected that sho
was of the female sex.

Yesterday afternoon, however, all doubts about
that were removed, as the prisoner was ushered into
the dock attired in the costume of females under
the surveillance of the authorities of the county
gaol, viz., a blue-striped calico dress ; she was with-
out any head-dress, and seemed to be very anxious
and nervous during the examination.
Mr. Child again appeared to prosecute on behalf
of the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society.
Mr. Browne said that the prisoner entered his
servioe as barman (being at that time in male attire)
about three mouths ago. He never had the least
suspicion as to her sex. Owing to some deficiency
in the receipts of the bar lately, he suspected the
prisoner, and on Friday last marked some silver,
which he placed in the till. The police were called
in, and among 37a. in silver WAS found a marked
sixpence. He then gave the prisoner into custody.
She was removed to Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and
there her sex was discovered.

George Bright, 259 M, said he took the prisoner
into custody.
The prisoner was remanded.

The Italian journals state that M. Girolamo
Scola, proprietor of the celebrated Villa del Gal-
cotto, near Lecco, on the Lake of Como, and pos-
sessor of an immense fortune, has just blown out
his brains. The cause is attributed to grief at having
lost a small sum of money. When, after his death,
authorities came to make au examination of his
house, they found there upwards of 200,000 f. in gold
