BOW-STR.EET.—(THIS DAY.)
A showily di esse I female was charged Wore Mr.
Henry, by Police-constable 94, under the-following cir-
cumstances:—
The policeman deporel tl at, about half-pmt six
o'clock last es e ling, he was on his beat in the Strand,
when he heard a disturtance, as he thought, towards the
eaq side of St Clement's Church-s ard. Upon going
thither he found the prisoner, with two other females
a-al two gentlemen, the females lift'ng their clothes
above their knees, much to the amusement of their male
lends Witness went up and spoke to the gentlemen,
expostulating with them on their disgraceful conduct in
witnessing females in the public streets exposing tack
Persons, but they not heeding his advice to go away he
was forced to threaten to take them into custody. They
all appearing to be quite ready for a night's lodgirg in
the station-house, he took the prisoner, who was escorted
to Bow -street by one of her gentlemen friends, who
Said that he was quite willing to be locked up, as he
would have satisfaction for the unwarrantable con-
duct of the policeman, by writing to Sir George Grey,
the Howe Secretary. The prisoner was a prostitute,
e'l known in the Strand.
In answer to the charge the prisoner replied, with great
fluency, in nearly the folloa ing words :—I reside in Arun-
del-street, Strand, and left my house about half-past six in
company with two females and two gentlemen friends.
We were all going to the theatre, and in crossing the
Strand to get over by St. Clement's Church we bad the
misfortune to step into a heap of mud and sink into it
half way up our legs. When we gained the pavement
we naturally wished to shake it off as much as possible,
and while we were all enjoying the joke at having got
into such a mess the policeman came up and swore we
bad been exposing our persons. We replied if he wished
to charge us with such disgraceful conduct we were
quite willing to amompany him to Boa -stre t to repel
!nett charges. I deny that lam a prostitute. I bare
bean kept by a gentleman for the last two years.
Mr. HENRY- wisl ei to know if she bad any witnesses?
to which the prisoner replied—Certainly; and if you
"I grant me a little time they shall be here to prove the
truth of my statement.
Mr. HENRY accordingly remanded the ease, the
Court being fully convinced that the policeman had cer-
tainly been rather too hurried in pouncing upon the un-
fortunatas the moment he saw their legs.
, Robert Simpson, a letter-press printer, was charged
tefore Mr. Henry with breaking lamps in the street.
It appeared from the evidence of a police constable,
tg the F division, that last night he was on dirty in
rury.lane, when his attention was attlioted by hearing
loud smash of glass, and on going to the spot where
the sound proceeCed from, he found the prisor er stand-
against the lamp-post, and the glass in the lamp
ritgoken. He asked the prisoner alio had destroyed the
inl3, and he replied that he had. He asked the pri-
°Oner the cause, which he ralused to tell, and said he
Would inform the magistrate in the morning. The pri-
soner was than taken into custody.
Mr. HENRY asked the prisoner what defence he had to
:lake, and o said be was compelled to do something,
8 he Was starving. He wanted a night's shelter and
some food.
Mr. HENRY said ho could have obtained what he re-
quired if he had applied to the workhouse. The pri-
:ner answered that he did apply to the Holborn work-
-11948n in Gray's Inn-lane, and they refused to assist
Itn.

ht) 41% HENRY* asked him where he had come from, and
replied from Edinburgh, fur the purpose of seeking
I~cloYment, and was unable to obtain any. During the
~ three weeks ho had slept in a lodging-house in
Fie) three
e>4lr HENRY told the prisoner, if he had applied at a
.aßonable boar at the workhouse they would have given
"1M some relief.
kr. Kerby, the contractor for repairing the street
siltnPa f the parish of St. Giles':, said he suffered most
vverely from persons breaking the lamps.
e • HENRY said he had no doubt that the loss to the
biataractorr, by persons breaking the street lamps, must
o:l,rerY great. If persons required relief, they had
sold .t° make their distress known to the proper quarter,
mi ‘z-,ey would obtain it immediately. He was deter •
ed to put an end to such practices, and for the pre-
rlt offence, he fined the prisoner 20a., and in default of
ilivirlett to be commiital for 14 days' imprisonment.
„ta he Prisoner, of course, was unable to pay the fine,
I/ was accordingly removed in the police-van, to the
ouh° of Correction.
