court was well filled with spectators. The appear-
ance of the poor girl, who is only about 17
years of
age, and who for many weeks past has been under
the care of the parish authorities of St. Mary?
Islington, was still very bad, and she seemed weak
and feeble. The defendant was not placed in the
box, but was accommodated with a seat at the ?soli-
citor's table.

Mr. Spar ling, solicitor to the trustees of St.
Mary, Islington, attended for the prosecution ; and.
Mr. Lewis for the defence.
Mr. Mould, the chief clerk, then read the deposi-
tions, which were t .ken before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at
the islington Workhouse, on the 30th Dec. lest,
and which were as follows :
Susan Dean—l was servant to Mrs. Laigh, nos
present. I received some injuries while in her
service. Tho last blow I received on the head was on
last Monday week (Dec. 21) from Mrs. Laigh with a
poker. The day before (Dec. 20) Mrs. Laigh struck
me in the eye with her band. On the Saturday
night before she stt uck me with a chopper on the
lower part of my body behind for upsetting the
broth. On the Thursday before (Dec. 7) she hit me
on the head with the poker. She hit me on the aria
with the poker, but I eannet recollect the day.
She used to hit me twico at once, sometimes with
the hair brush and sometimes with the hearth
broom. I have been u'ed thus nearly all the time
I have been there. No one except my mistress
struck me while I was in her service. My mistrcsa
made all the cuts on my head.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wakeling—My fellow-
servant's name is Ellen Morgan. I never quar-
relled with her. She never struck me with any-
thing, and she never took anything out of the
copper and struck me. I never fought with her.
I never told Mr. Hicks that my fellow-servant
struck me, nor that she struck mo with something
from the copper, nor that she gave me a black eye.
I neva. complained to any one of being struck with
the poker. I and Ellen did not talk of going to
prison, uor did we agree to sky it was Mrs. Laigh
who had struck me. I did not toll them I was
kept in the kitch.:n. Eden and my mistress waited
on the lodgers. I saw Mr. Hicks soon after I got ".
there. He called to see Ellen, and I did not tell
him.

Re examined—When Mr. flicks callel I had a
back eye. He inquired how it came I did not
tell him. My mtstieis told him Ellen and I
been fighting. That was not true. I did not hear
Ellen tell Mr. Sick that she gave me the black
eye.

Several witnesses were examined, both for the
prosecution and the defence, and ultimately the
magistrate decided that it was a ca.e for a jury.
Mr. Lewis applied that bail might be taken.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would accept et the same
bail as on the previous occ,siou for her appearance
at the Middlesex Sessions.

T►ee necessary bail :laving been put in, the de-
fendant left the court, followed by a number of
persons.

MARYLEBONE.—THE LATE ALLEGED FRAUD
BY A SOLICITOR.--JOuatilan Whitley Cooper, soli"
tor, was charged, before Mr. Broughton (on re.
wand), with having obtained 161. 10s. from Mr.
Daniel G.stello, Lancaster-mews, Primrose-hill,
by false pretences.
The particulars of what previously transpired'
have already appeared, and it will be remembered
that prosecutor alleged that he had paid the money
in question to the prisoner to take certain proceed..
ings in reference to an action in which he was
plaintiff. In the course of the inquiry, it was.
shown that the prisoner had, in his legal capacity,
done some business relating to the cause, and that
as the matter was looked on as one for which be
(prisoner) had not rendered himself amenable to a
criminal prosecution, the magistrate liberated Win
upon his own recoonisances to appear yesterday. .
Mr. Lewis, Marlborough-street, attended as be-
fore for Mr. Costello, and Mr. Taylor, a barrister
(instructed by Mr. andley), for the prisoner.
Mr. Taylor, after same preliminary observations
from Mr. Lewis, said that his client was ready to
deliver up the papers appertaining to the action,
and to refund any balance which could be ehowa
to be properly due ; he was of opinion that nothing
more could be required
_ _

. -
Mr. Lewis said that he had consulted with gr•
Handley, and that they had mutually agreed 0
adopt the course alluded to.
The prisoner was then discharged, and .when
leaving the court a man named William But
applied to have him detained, on the grollo
that he had a charge to prefer against him ; "
was then again phicerl at the bar.
The statement of Bush was, that he bad Paid
through his friends sums amounting iu the
to upwards of 3601., to carry on the action fof
the recovery of property which had been left t:
him, under the will of his grandfather ; in one
instance the prisoner had from him 50/. at a
single payment, but the promised services bad
not been performed.

Mrs. Bartlett, 2, Kenton-street,
Brunswick-squarer
stated that her husband gave the whole of the
money to the prisoner to prosectro the claim to
Bush's property.
Mr. Handley said he could prove that as touch
as 2001. had been paid for proctors' fees a10ne....
It was ultimately arranged that the paP.er.
should be delivered in due course, on applicatiorg
being made for them at the residence of Nil'
Munday, 4, Upper Seymour-street West, I:lYue...
park.
The case thus ended.
