Q UEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday one of the inspectors of the A division of po-
lice brought before Mr. BURRELL, the sitting Magistrate, a
remarkably pretty and fashionably-dressed female, about
eighteen years of age, who had been found the night pre-
vious wandering about St. James's Park, which it appears
she has been in the habit of doing for some time past.
The inspector stated that the female had given her name
Emma Hart, but refused to give her address, and upon
being questioned told a wild and strange story about her
seeking for a child who had been murdered and thrown
into the canal, and it was supposed she was labouring under
an aberration of intellect.

The Magistrate asked her several questions, but she did
not return any answer, and Mr. BURRELL directed the over-
seers of St. Martin's to take her in charge until it can be
ascertained who she is.

The female is of very lady-like appearance and manners,
and speaks with a slight Irish accent. _

George Colley, the informer, charged lVilliani Geach, a
newsvender, residing in Vincent-square, with vending un-
stamped publications.
It appeared from Colley's statement that he met the de-
fendant in Regent-street, carrying a parcel of papers (the
Weekly Police Gazette and the Twopenny Dispatch),
which he was selling in the streets.

Mr. BURRELL asked him if he had purchased any of the
papers ? Colley replied that he was too well known for
them to-serve him ; the defendant was selling the papers,
but he could not swear that he had seen any money re-
ceived by him.
Mr. BURRELL refused to convict under these circum-
stances, but informed the defendant, who made an applica-
tion for his papers to be restored, that they were forfeited.
Amongst the night charges at this office appeared John
Kingsbury, a most eccentric character, well known ir_ the
neighbourhood of Westminster for some years by ti:Ae desig-
nation
of the " Lord Chancellor," in coliser_vtierice of his
fondness for litigation, and his Pride
d as judge for
some years at a public-housein ti! ..e vicinity of the office,
was charged by the constable of Westminster Abbey with
drunkenness and asking alms in the church-yard of St.
Margaret's.
It seems that. nos Lordship formerly held rather a lucra-
tive sittiMiolt about the House of Commons as " Master of
Aliterse," as he termed it (holding gentlemen's horses) ;
but from being rather too talkative and meddling he has
within the last twelve months so completely " fallen from
his great estate" that he has been compelled to sleep at the
parish workhouse.

His Lordship, in reply, denied the act of begging most
indignantly ; but admitted that since lie had been com-
4polled from poverty to resign his situation, and no longer
io officiate at the Houses of Parliament, he had been in-
duced to take " potations pottle deep," to drown the re-
memllrtmeo of former times.

Mr, BuRRELL said that he must be compelled to fine
him ss. for drunkenness.

His Lordship most strongly protested against the deci-
sion. He was totally unable to pay the fine, in consequence
of having been out of office for such a length of time and

he had been so hard up, that he had been compelled to
pawn both his wig and gown.
His Lordship's remonstrance was in vain, and he was
removed in custody until the fine could be raised. The
Chancellor did not say whether he should write to the King
by the post for the money.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Yesterday John Duffey, a private in the Scots Fusileer
Guards, and who has acted as confidential servant to Col•
Standen, of his regiment, was brought before Mess".
HARDWICK and WALKER for further examination, on 3
charge of plundering his master of upwards of 601. worth
of massive plate, and also obtaining on his account, by
false pretences, property of various descriptions.
The prisoner was remanded until this day week, to give
.
time to the police to make further search as to the property'
missing, and also an opportunity for Colonel Standen's at-
tendance, as his testimony will be absolutely necessary to
complete the case against the prisoner.
