MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Fisher, cbina=warehouseman, Regent-
street, accompanied by a number of tradesmen, came be-
fore Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL to make inquiries as
to the best mode of dealing with a female who. had swindled
him out of some property, and who had for a length of time
lived by imposing on tradesmen.
Mr. Fisher said the female in question called at his ware
house, and selected goods to the value of 60/., at the same

time requesting that a portion of them, amounting to
6/. 135., might be sent to her residence, in Cleveland-row.
The shopman was sent with them, with strict orders not to
leave them without the money. The shopman, however,
did leave them, and when he called the following morning
he discovered that his master had been duped. Mr. Fisher
added he had found out that the female in question was a
married woman, and that her name was quite different from
the name on a handsome card which she had given him as
her own.

Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that the present application
formed one of a number which were continually being made
to the Magistrates at that Office, and to which the answer
was invariably the same, that the affair was a debt in the
eye of the law, and therefore no assistance could be
rendered.

The applicant thanked the Magistrates, and withdrew.
A man, who gave the name of Edwards (not his real
one), was charged with having been found loitering about
Hanover-square under suspicious circumstances.
The policeman gave as his reason for taking the defend-
ant into custody that he knew him to be a very bad cha-
racter. He had been tried and transported, and since his
return he had been again tried.
Defendant—Well, if I was a thief once, its no reason
I should always be one. I've reformed myself, and now I
get a very honest livelihood by hard work.
Mr. CHAMBERS—What do you work at ? Defendant--
I belong to Astley's Amphitheatre, and I go on the stage in
different pieces.

Mr. CHAMBERS—I suppose you walk as one of the ele-
phant's leers, or something similar, don't you ? Defendant
—No. I act the soldiers and constables, when they are
wanted.

Mr. CHAMBERS—WeII, if you really get your living ho-
nestly, I should be sorry to scud you to prison. I'll give

you one more cilatke ; but if I catch yorr here again
commit you.—The actor vas• then discharged.

The prittor asked witness to take some of the beer they
were drinking. The female Hillary appeared inebriated,

riotous and indecorous manner, and eventually struck
hint ‘Scidmore) a blow with a pewter measure she
took of *e counter. Witness endeavoured to make peace'
but the female continued her violent conduct, when the
pisoner in self-defence pushed her off, the result of which
was tlll4 she fell with great force against the edge of the
counter, 1,0)/gib was cased with pewter. The blow appear,e,
to have seriously injured her, as she fell on the ground VP'.

but she was quite unconscious of what was passing around
her. She wita then conveyed to the house of Mr. Ceverook'
a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who endeavoured byY
means to restore artitsiation, but without effect.
Several person's who were in the public-house at the
same time were examined, whose evidence was a corrobo-

ration of the above.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination until
Thursday next, and in the inter vat the inquest on the 01-
fortunate woman will take place.
It appears that the deceased had lived with the prisonear
nine weeks, and the banns of marriage between them
actually been put up.
