MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A man named Henry ti illiarns was charged with as-
saulting Mr. Major James Pitt, of W,st Strand, hatter,
under the following circumstances :—A person having the
appearance of a gentleman, went to the complainant's shop
and selected two of the best hats, which he ordered to he
sent to his house, No. 3, Clifford-street, Old Bond-street,
and they should be paid for on delivery. The hats were
accordingly sent by the shoprnan, who was told that the
gentleman was out, and he must call again for payment.
The complainant having a suspicion that all was not cor-
rect, made some inquiry respecting the parties, and re-
ceived very unfavourable accounts of their transactions,
He at once proceeded to the house, and demanded to see
the person who gave the order for the hats. A female
named Haylett answered him, and observed, that her hus-
band was not within ; but, on the complainant follow-
ing her into the parlour to satisfy himself, she seized a
broom, and was about to pay the demand over the com-
plainant's head. He seized hold of her arms, when the
defendant came to her assistance and assaulted Mr. Pitt,
who was ultimately ejected from the house. A warrant
was obtained against them, and on an officer proceeding
to the house, he could only find the defendant, who was
enjoying himself with some ale before a large fire, which
he kept in full vigour by scraping together all the wood
about the premises. On the officer entering the house,
to his surprise he discovered that, with the exception of
one sofa, it was totally devoid of furniture, and it was his
opinion that the defendant was engaged for the purpose
of taking in the goods brought by tradespeople. While
the officer was iu the house, a tailor came with a fashion-
able suit of clothes for the gentleman, also a person from
Messrs. Mann and S irgon, Highfield, Camden-town, with
a quantity of floor-cloth, and likewise several others with
property, all of whom no sooner received a caution than
they marched off with their goods, thinking themselves
very fortunate that matters were no worse. A gentle-
man connected with the office also informed the Magis-
trates that constant complaints had been made by trades-
men who had sent in goods and could not get their
money. The defendant said, he was only a servant to
the parties, who were persons of property, but the Magis-
trates considered otherwise; and after observing that the
case was of a gross nature, fined the defendant 40s. and
costs, which not being able to pay, he stood committed for
six weeks.

A youth named Hamilton, was examined on a charge
of stealing a horse, chaise and harness, valued at 601., the
property of Mr. Beity, Archer.street, St. James's. The
prisoner had procured it on hire about a month since, and
was not heard of till recently, when he wataken into custody
by an officer of this establi,hinent. The property has not
been recovered. He was remanded.
MARY LEB ONE-STREET.

A young woman of fashionable and preposiessing ap-
pearance, who gave her name Barbara Grundy, and de-
scribed herself as a dress-maker, and the wife of a naval
officer in the East Indies, was charged before Mr. Hos-
KINS, the sitting Magistrate, with obtaining goods under
false pretences, from Messrs. Jones and Baucett, linen-
drapers, of Soho•square, and Messrs. Sewell and Cross,
linen-drapers, of Compton-street. The prisoner was
remanded.
