BO W-STREET.

On Saturday a woman of infamous character,
named Ann Glover, was brought to this office by
Mr. Thomas, superintendent of police, charged with
having decoyed a young girl into a house of ill-
fame, and delivered her to a fellow from whom she
received a sum of money. From the statement of
the girl and her mother, it appeared that on Friday
she was sent on an errand by her mother, and was
met by the prisoner, who induced her to go with
her to a notorious house near Long-acre, where she
met a scoundrel who gave the prisoner a sum of
money in her presence. The prisoner then went
away, and from the child's account of the conduct
of the fellow, the magistrate gave his opin on that as
the girl is under 12 years of age, he had committed
a capital offence. The police are in search of him,
and expect to apprehend him. The wretched pri-
soner also took from the poor child .ss. she had of her
mother, under pretence of buying her fine clothes.
Mr. MINMIULL said, a more infamous wretch had
never boleeit.
been brought before him, and committed her
fora
Mr. and Mrs. Homan, a couple of respectable
appearance, were charged by Mary, the wife of Ro-
bert Brown, the former with an attempt at violation,
and the latter with an aggravated assault.
Mrs. Brown, a well-dressed, pretty young woman,
lived in the same house with the detendants. Mr.
Noman had for some time annoyed her with unlaw-
ful solicitations, and on Thursday came into her
room, and was proceeding to effect his purpose in
spite of her resistance, when suddenly his wife en-
tered, and flew at her with the greatest fury, striking
her in the face with such force as to blacken both
her eyes. She had not cried out when Mr. Noman
was taking liberties, because she was ashamed to be
found in such a situation, the world is so censorious.
Mrs. Noman now gave her version of the story.
Mrs. Brown was a most seducing woman, and was
constantly inveigling other women's husbands to
her bed-room. Ott returning home after a short
absence on Thursday, she missed her husband, and
suspecting where he was, she ran up stairs to Mrs.
Brown's room, and suddenly entering, found her
rising from her bed in such a manner that confirmed
all her suspicions. She demanded her husband.
Mrs. Brown denied that he was there, and invi-
ted her to search; she did search, and found him
doubled up in a corner cupboard. She lugged him
down stairs, and then returned and punished Mrs.
Brown as she deserved to be punished. Her hus-
band had confessed his fault, and she forgave him ;
all flesh was frail, and she had tier own feelings.
Mrs. Brown hung down her head, and did not at-
tempt to gainsay Mrs. Noman's statement.
The Magistrate dismissed both her charges: and
as she left the office she was followed by some of
the auditors, who greeted her with a chorus of hisses.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Mr. Edmund Colman, who holds a situation in
the Lord Chamberlain's-office, and is the son of
George Colman, Esq., the licenser of plays, was
brought up on the following charge:--About half-
past five on Saturday morning, a policeman found
him in Vincent-square, Westminster, leaning over
the railings in the fronts of the houses, and breaking
off the branches of several ornamental shrubs and
trees.

The defendant said he had taken a few glasses of
wine, and was unconscious of his inconsiderate be-
haviour.

On paying the damage he was discharged.
UNION-BALL.
A poor woman, in great distress, complained of
the conduct of a broker, who seized the goods of
her husband, even to the bed they slept on, for an
arrear of rent amounting to ls. 9d. He would not
allow them time to make up the trifle, but sold a
portion of the furniture for the benefit of the land-
lord, and retained the possession of the remainder
to cover his expenses.
The MAGISTRATE censured the heartless proceed-
ing of the broker and ordered him to deliver up the
goods to the complainant.
The broker was much chagrined at this decision,
and then brought a charge of assault against the poor
woman's husband. He was, however, unable to
sustain it.

Charles Faulkner, a seaman of the Lady Clinton,
from Leghorn, was charged under the following cir-
cumstances :—O Friday he was paid off, and then
got drunk as soon as he could. He next sallied out
on a cruise, and his first exploit was to overturn a

poor apple-woman's b4sket. On her endeavouring
to protect her property, he knocked her down, and
kicked her till she was insensible. A female named
Hayley was about to pick her up, when he seized
her, and dashed her with such force on the ground
:is to break her shoulder-bone. He knocked down
wenty persons in succession who endeavoured to
capture -him, and also five policemen. He was
eventually secured by several men closing round
him, tying his hands and feet, and taking him to the
station-house in a truck. The prisoner was sen-
tenced to two months' imprisonment.
