MAR YLEB ONE.

Sarah Chapman, was placed at the bar before
Mr. HOSKINS, charged with stealing one silver
spoon, one silk handkerchief, and various other arti-
cles, the property of her master, Mr. William Evans,
of 33, Edward street, Marylebone.
Mr. Evans stated that the prisoner had been in
his service eight days; when she first applied for
the situation, she referred him to a clergyman at
Bath, whom she said she had been living with, and
likewise to Mr. Hobbs, foreman to Mr. Morritt,
pawnbroker, of High-street, Marylebone, who said
that he knew the prisoner to be an honest woman ;
upon which statement he took her; he had since
written to the gentleman at Bath, but up to the pre-
sent time had received no answer. On Friday last
she went our, and returned home in a state of in-
toxication and quarrelled with her fellow servant,
when witness told her she was discharged, and must
go directly ; but, before she went, he sent for a
police constable to search her boxes, who found the
above articles, and took the prisoner into custody.
Police constable, D, No. 1, stated that about a
quarter to eight on Friday evening he was sent for
by Mr. Evans, to search the prisoner's boxes, in one
of which he found a silver spoon and silk handker-
chief, which the prosecutor identified as his pro-
perty, and on opening the other he discovered a
quantity of Irish linen, several new damask table-
cloths and napkins, marked Gray, a hand basket full
of cut glass, a set of old fashioned china, &c.; in all
to the value of about 35/. He has since ascertained
that the prisoner had a few months ago been in the
service of Mr. Gray, pawnbroker, in Fleet-street.
The prisoner, who made no defence, was re-
manded till Tuesday next, for Mr. Gray to come
forward, who will no doubt be able to identify some
of the articles found in the prisoner's possession as
his property.

before Mr. BRODERIP and Captain RICIIBELL, On

door. He then seized her by both ears, and beat
her head in a violent manner against the door. She
endeavoured to get away from him, and called out
o Murder, murder !" on which the prisoner knocked
her down, and while she was lying on the ground
kicked her in a most savage way about the body Several persons, alarmed by her cries, came up and
prevented any further ill usage. The poor woman
statement was in part confirmed by her appearance,
She had a black eye, which was much swollen and
her face bore the marks of the blows she hail received.
The prisoner, in defence, said that when he acci-
dentally pushed against the woman, she tore his
coat, and grasped him so tightly by the throat that
he was compelled to knock her down in order to
disenga-e himself.
Mr. BRODERIP observed, that the prisoner, sc..
cording to his own statement, had been guilty of $
most unmanly assault. His conduct was most atro-
cious, and the Bench were of opinion that he should
pay a fine of 3/. to the King, or be imprisoned six
weeks.

The prisoner, in default of payment, was com-
mitted to Cleikenw•ell prison for six weeks.
Yesterday, Mr. Fagan, an inspector of the IC
division, waited upon Mr. Broderip, and informed
him that Nowlan had died of the injuries inflicted
upon her. The deceased bore the character of $
harmless, peaceable, and industrious woman. Her
back and loins were severely bruised, and there wag
the mark of a kick on the left breast. Fagan stated
that one of the bolts of the door against which the
woman's head was beaten, had given way owing to
the force of the blows.

Mr. BRODERIP said, that a Coroner's inquest
ought to be held without delay, and directed that a
detainer should be lodged against the prisoner if any
one should call to pay the fine at the prison.
