THE " INVISIBLE HORN" BLOWER.—Yesterday
a young man named Baron, but no nobleman, was
brought before Mr. WALKER and the Rev. D.
MATTHIAS, charged with exercising his pugilistic
propensities upon the person of John Stansfield, a
stuut, elderly, and good-looking mall, save that he
had a black eye, and carried one arm in a sling.
The complainant was a constable " riggleily"
sworn in before their Worships, and was employed
by Mr. Hemingway, the landlord of the King's
Arms, Mile-end-road, who had a long room " rig-
glerly" licensed, and fitted up with " a norchester"
(query, an orchestra ?) which he (witness) had to
guard every concert night, and keep out improper
characters, and preserve good order. He then
Pointed out a little dark man, named Moody, stand-
ing in the corner of the office, as the author of all
the mischief. It appeared that Mr. Moody had a
peculiar knack of playing upon a horn which nobody
could sec, though all could hear it well enough. He

was formerly in the habit of going about to enter-
tain people at public-houses with what he called
" trumpet imitations ;" but he had made his " for-
tin," and set up for a " gemman," and certainly
he had got up in the world since he was become a
companion of Barons. He was in the habit of fre-
quenting the concert room, and interrupting the
performers by giving them a "twiddle' with his sham
bugle, and setting the whole place in a roar of laugh-
ter. Last Tuesday night he came to the concert
with the defendant and other " young sparks,"
and complainant, being up to his tricks) kept his eye
upon him. lie was pretty quiet till the perform-
ance was over, when it was time to clear out, but he
and the defendant, with others, remained sitting,
and complainant saw him put up his hands.—(Here
he suited the action to the word, and held up his
fingers as the vulgar do when they cry out " take
a sight.") He was just beginning to " twiddle
away," when complainant went up to him, saying
" I'm blow'd if you shall blow here," The de-
fendant vociferated " Who are you ?" He told
him he was an officer, and Moody should not blow
there; upon which the defendant Baron gave him a
blow in the eye and knicked him down ; and then
they all set upon him, " a matter of eighteen on
'urn," and hurt his arm by thumping him about.
Mr. Spratt, a mere shrimp in size, was conductor
of the concerts, and handed a programme of the per-
formances to the Magistrates. He, as well as the
landlord of the house, was extremely anxious to
keep good order, and he regretted that Mr. Baron,
who was a friend of his, should have acted as the
complainant had described, which was perfectly true.
The Magistrates ordered the defendant to find
bail; but Moody, who, like trumpeters in general,
only set people together by the ears, was allowed the
privilege of his profession—to depart without cen-
sure.

Yesterday Miss Anne Wilkins, the young woman
who has been in custody since Monday last, on the
charge of robbing her patents, who are most re-

spectable farmers, residing near Cambridge, and
elo, ing with a private soldier, who belonged to a
lee uiting party in that part of the country, wa•
again brought before the sitting Magistrates, Mr.
WALKER and the Rev. D. MAlrums.

In-pector Fryar had written by Monday night's
post to the parents of the prisoner, but had not as
yet received any answer from them. He added,
that he thought there was not sufficient time for the

letter reaching thoparents, as they resided seven or
eight miles across the country from Cambridge, and
it was possible, at this busy season of the year, that
the biter would remain at the post-office until mar-
keg-day.

The MAGISTRATES also thought this extremely
probable, and remanded the prisoner till Saturday.
Her manner since the last examination has under-
gone a wonderful change, and proves to demon,tra-
don the baneful consequences which result from
persons being sent to prison, and allowed to associ-
ate indiscriminately with the most abandoned and
vile characters. On Monday, while at the bar, the
prisoner hid her face from the gaze of those present.
continued to cry aloud during the examination, and
appeared altogether most penitent; but yesterday,
she seemed perfectly indifferent to her fate, and ap-
peared as if she had been an experienced and hal-
dened thief.
In the Times of Saturday an account appeared
under the head of this office, of two girls, sisters,
who gave their names as Mary and Catherine Fur-
long, and said they had run away with four other
apprentices from their master and mistress, pill-box-
makers, at Woodbridge, in Suffolk, in consequence
of their ill-treatment towards them. In reference to
that account, Mr. WALKER yesterday received a
le ter from R. W. Shawe, Esq., a Magistrate of
Suffolk, and Chairman of the Petty Session at
Woodbridge, requesting, as the report was highly
di-agreeable to the respectable inhabitants of the
town, it to be stated that due inquiries had been
made to the parish officers and others, and no such
persons as Mary and Catherine Furlong had been
known in the town or neighbourhood, nor was
there a pill•box-maker in or near Woodbridge.
