LAMBETH.

Eliza Murray, a decent-looking young woman,
surrendered to her bail to be further examined before
Mr. Elliott, on a charge of unlawfully pawning some
articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mary
Jane Bagley.
From the statement of the complainant it appeared,
that hiving become pregnant by the footman of a
family with whom she lived as lady's-maid, the pri-
soner, who a short time before had met with a similar

misfortune, undertook to procure her a lodging where-
in to be confined, and to wait on her during her
trouble. The prisoner got an apartment as she pro-
mised, at a house in North-street, Lambeth, and there
they lived together until the 25th of September, when
herself and her illegitimate infant were taken in a
carriage to the house of a gentleman in Hyde Park-
gardens, where she was engaged as wet nurse to un
infant, since dead. On leaving North-street, she left
behind her a quantity of wearing apparel, and subse-
quently directed the prisoner to send it to her, but it
was not until Sunday morning last that she received
any portion of it, and the prisoner in sending it also
sent two duplicates for a part of the property pledged.
Oa Monday she went to the police station-house in
Tower-street, and mentioned the circumstance to a
policeman, and that person took the duplicates from
her, and subsequently took the prisoner into custody.
Richard Chisly, shopman to Mr. Wharton, pawn-
broker in the Westminster-road, producing some ar-
ticles of wearing apparel, which had been pledged by
the prisoner on the 28th and 30th of September.
The prosecutrix, in her cross-examination by Mr.
Games, admitted that she had not paid, nor did she
understand that she was to pay, the young woman at
the bar anything fur her trouble in attending her
during her confinement. She also admitted that the
prisoner had pledged things with her sanction for
their mutual support, but declared she had not given
the slightest authority to pledge anything after the
25th of September.
Mr. Games—Pray, did you pay all the persons you
were indebted to before leaving your lodgings ? Pro-
secutrix—No ; there was some money title to my
washerwoman, a coal-dealer, and others.
Prisoner—This is cruel treatment, gentlemen, after
all I have done for that person. I have even taken
my ring off my finger, so that she might wear it
and pass off as a married woman, and she has that
ring, which cost me half-a-guinea, at this moment
on her hand.
Mr. Games, to the complainant--There is one ques-
tion I forgot to ask you, and that is, had you repre-
sented to the gentleman who took you away in his,
carriage, and whose child you were engaged to wete
nurse, that you were a married woman? Complain-
ant—What is that to you, Sir? I'm astonished at
your assurance in asking such impertinent questions.
Mr. Games—That impertinence will not do for me;
and if you were ten times as impertinent you must
answer my question. Did you, or did you not, re-
present yourself as a ;married woman ? Witness,
after some hesitation—l did.
Mr. Games—Have you told anyone thatyou would
not think of adopting any proceedings against this
young woman if you had not heard that she had been
saying something against you ? Prosecutrix—l might
have done so, as she took away my letters and spoke
ill of me.
Cockerell, a policeman, 108 L, here got into the
witness-box, and took much pains to exhibit a few
rags, which he said he had found in the prisoner's
box and were not worth Is.
Air. Games, in his observations on the case, de-
signated the proceeding as one of the most heartless
that had for some time been brought within his
notice, and commented on the conduct of Cockerell,
the officer, who, according to his own admission, bad
his
(Mr. Gaines's) estima-
tion,the service. The facts, as
grow n
haddea grown
andw n
stupid who inin
disclosed to him by the young woman at the bar, were
these :—The prisoner,who, though not having a direct,
had an implied authority to pledge the things, had
done so to support herself, as the complainant allowed
her nothing, and to pay those debts which she, the
complainant, had left unpaid.
The present mistress of the prisoner said, that
when Cockerell, the policeman, came to her house
both she and her husband had given her that which
they believed 'she deserved, a good character, but he
insisted on taking her into custody.
The landlady of the house where the complainant
and prisoner had lodged gave the latter an excellent'
character, and said it was her belief that she had
pledged the things to pay the complainant's debte.

ous description, and talked of sending her for trihe

but ultimately remandrd her to a future day.
