father in July last, es a ground for their ailing os him tp find
security, in case the child should be born chargeable to their
parish. lie did find security, and the recognisance, were respited
untllthe December sessions. The woman was delivered in the

pariah in September, but she had not applied for any relief, and
she now refused to enable the pariah to have the order of affilia-
tion made, to secure them against the probable incumbrance.—
He should therefore press for her commitment as a lewd woman

for a twelvemonth, tind if any eircumatances should transpire to
warrant such a step, the magistrates could rescind their determi-
nation after the expiration of six weeks.

The female, who affected unusual shams, urged that she had
once sworn to the father already, and that, until she applied for
relief, the parish had no reason to trouble itself *boat her.
Mr. Payne, the clerk, asked her it she meant to say she was a
person of such substance that it was not likely the child would
ever be chargeable. She admitted she did not.

The Magistrates, after kindly inviting her repeatedly to go
through the required form, but without effect, committed her to
the House of Correction for one year.
A Solicitor for the putative father, who is not above half the
Age of the female, was present, and desired a minute to be made
of the young man's attendance, apparently supposing that attend-
ance would release his reeognizances from further responsibility.
BOW-STREET.—John Chishotn, a master baker, appeared
yesterday before Sir RICHARD Beaton, to answer a charge of
assault made by James Verney, servant to Knight and Read, bread
and biscuit bakers, Goswell-street-road.—Ordered to find hail.
A woman, named Charlotte Savage, who reside* in Little
Comptom-street, Haymarket, accompanied by her daughter, a
child not six years old, obtained a warrant against a man named
Anderson, for having, as she alleged, stolen from her apartment
a pocket-book, containing nine sovereigns. The prisoner, accom-
panied by two witnesses, appeared to answer the charge, the prin-
cipal evidence in support of which rested on the single testimony
of the little girl in question, who; however, after undergoing most
minute examination before Mr. MiNattum, pereieted so steadily
in charging the prisoner with the theft, that the Magistrate felt
hound to bold him to beil.
MARLBOROUGIi-STREET.—Yesterday this office was the
scene of an investigation oft very unusual character.
It appears that about eight o'clock on the evening of Monday
last, a young female came to this office, and introduced herself to
Plank, the chief officer, as the wife of William Reed, an officer of
this establishment, to whom, she said, she had been for several
years married, and had a little girl by him of the age of seven
years; that for coins time past her husband had entirely deserted
her, and within a few days she had ascertained beyond a doubt that
he had been again married to the daughter of Mr. liars, a
licensed victualler, and landlord of the Nag's Head publio-house,
in Oxford-street. She bad been, she said, to call on Mr. Hare,
who acknowledged that Reed had married his daughter, but would
not believe that the applicant was any wife of his, and treated her
with great incivility, until she showed him her marriage certifi-
cate, end then he behaved rather more kindly to her, as he sew
that she really was the wife of Reed.
The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, declined for the
present saying any thing in his defence, and was fully committed
for trial.

The prisoner's first wife, a very decent-looking, neatly dressed
young woman, was present during the examination, and 'seemed
much affected. She was accompanied by her daughter, a line
little girl, and the child, on seeing its father, went up and kissed
him in the most affectionate manner. The second wife, Mr. Hare's
daughter, did not appear, but she area stated to he by no means so
attractive, in point of person, as hi* real wife.
Reed had only been about 12 months attached to this eatablith-
:tient, and was appointed by the Secretary of State for the Home
Department on the strong recommendation of the Bow-street Ma-
gistrates, who considered him a very correct end active officer itt,
the patrol of that estnliliehment.
MARYLEBONE-OFFloE.—Yesterday a young female, gen-
teelly dressed, was brought before Mr. Host's*: upon being
placed at the bar, she gave her name Mary Owen, which was
assumed, for it was afterwards stated that her real name it Irving,
and that her husband is a vocal performer at Covent-garden Theatre.
It appeared by the evidence brought forward, that Mr. and
Mrs. Irving occupied apartments at No. 8, Chapel-street, Totten-
ham-court-road; that Elizabeth Harris, another lodger in the same
house, had within a few days lost a :haw}, and she suspected Mrs.
Irving had taken it. She obtained a watch warrant; it led to no
discovery respecting the shawl, but two pawnbroker'a duplicates
were found in Mrs. Irving's possession, one of them for linen,
among which was a sheet belonging to Mrs. Ripley, the larelkuly
of the house.
The prisoner acknowledged that she had pawned the sleet, and
said she meant to redeem it.
Mr. Ilneenne told the prisoner that the circumstance of her
having pawned the sheet was a ground for suspecting that she hail
teken the "hand, sec. ; he should detain her until more inquiry
was made, and consequently she was remanded.

Sitting Magistrate, under the following charge:.....
Mr. Gunnell, of No. 6, Claremont-place, stated, that on
Thursday evening last he had a party of friends at his house, and,
amongst others, were Mr. Parry's wife and sister. About lac
o'clock Mr. Parry knocked at the door, and inquired if Mrs.
Parry was there. On being informed that she was, he walked
up stairs, dashed into the drawing-room, more like an insane
than a rational man, and conducted himself in so ungentlemanly
a manner, that Mr. Gunnell, bad to insist upon his quitting the
house. This Mr. Parry absolutely refused to do, and struck Mr.
Gunnell several times, and this was the assault complained of.
Mr. Roates asked if Mr. Parry hail been invited to the
party ?
Mr. Gunnell said he believed not, as the invitations were given
by Mrs. Gunnell.
Mr. Parry was now asked what could induce him to eet in
such a manner ?
He replied, evidently much affected, that he hoped the Magis-
trate would allow him to explain the cause :—An individual with
whom he had formerly been on terms of intimacy, but whom he
had latterly been obliged to forbid his house, in consequence of his
pointed attention to Mrs. Parry, now releided in the house of Mr.
Gunnell, and be had made it a request of Mrs. Parry not to visit
there. On Thursday afternoon he hail bueiness front home, which
he expected would detain him late, and previous to his going out
Mrs. Parry signified her intention to take tea at her sister's.
However, on his return home, between 11 and 12 o'clock, he
learned that Mrs. Parry had not gone to her sister's, but had been
spending the evening at Mr. Gunnell'', where the individual he
alluded to was an inmate. He regretted to say, that in a mu-
ment of irritation, he went to the house, and insisted on Mrs.
Parry leaving it, and accompanying him home, which she posi-
tively refused to do. Mr. Gunnell then insisted upon his leaving
the house, which he admitted he refused to do without being ac-
companied by hie wife, end upon which Mr. Gunnell attempted
to force him out. In the scuffle which ensued, the assault took
place.
Mr. Roosns said, that under the peculiar circumstances of the
CAW he should disrobe it, but that he would advise Mr. Parry not
to go to the house again. He would also advise Mr. Gunnell to
adopt a difTereut line of conduct, and not *auction in any way the
visits of Mrs. Parry.
The partite then left the office.
