EXTRAORDINARY. APPLICATION.

MRS. GLOVER THE ACTRESS, HER HUSBAND AND

CHILDREN.

UNION HALL POLICE OFFICE.

Yesterday a Gentleman, who stated his name to.
be Glover, ,and that he •was th 6 husband of the
celebrated actress of that name, appeared before
the Magistrate (Mr. Serjeant Svi.LoN)„ having at
the same time hold of a lovely and interesting,
little girl, whose hand he firmly grasped, and re-
fused to relinquish ; •the child was fashionably
dressed, and her other band-was. in the possession
of a. female of respectable appearance, who gp.
;ic-ared. equally determined with Mr. Glover to
retain possession of it.
'Alr:Glover stated, that his wife had absented
herself from his society, and bad taken his two
children with her ; he had been endeavouring for
t long time, to °discover the placeof abode of Mrs.
Glover,. for the purpose of taking possession of
his offspring. He had been in France for three
years, daring which time his wife had run hint
considerably in debt. Yesterday, as he was go-
ing along St. Martin's-lane, he observed his
daughter in the care of the young woman, .who
had come with him before the Magistrate, who
he belieVed was servant to Mrs. Glover He de-
matided that she Should deliver the child up to
him, but she refaSed, and kept fast hold of the
child's hand. He resided in Hercules Buildings,
Lambeth, to which place it was his intention to
conduct the child; hut finding that the determi-
nation of the servant was oot to be shaken, he had
thought proper to bring the subject under the con-
sideration of the Magistrates, and he hoped they
would, interfere, and order his child to be delivered
up to him.'
The servant, a young woman about nineteen
years of age, stated, that she had been sent by
her mistress, Mrs, Glover, to Finchley, for the
young lady.in questiim, at which place she had
been on a visit' at the house of Mr. Harnier, the
solicitor. The complainant met her, and demand-
ed that the child should be given up to him ; but
as she had been soot expressly for the child by
her mistress, she did not think she should deliver
her mistress's daughter to any other person. The
complainant had made. several attempts to remove
Mrs. Glover's children from under her protection:
once, by attempting to enter the house through a
one pair of stairs window, by means of a ladder,
which he procured for the purpose, and at another
time by a violent
.application at the school where
the young lady was placed. In the latter instance,
lie failed, because the,. school-mistress required
him to pay the expence which had been inclined
for heetuition; a requisition which he found
difficult to comply With. Mts. 'Glover entirely
supported her children, and she (the servant) was'
determined .not to relinquish her young lady until
she lost the power of holding her.
The Clerk of Union Hall stated to the Atagis•-•
trate, that he was acquainted with Mrs. Glover,
and from her amiable disposition and good moral
conduct, he knew her to be a proper person to
have charge of her children.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON said, that be had no juris-
diction over the case, and recommended thatthe
parties should proceed to the town residence of
Mr. Harmer, in Hatton-garden,who was acquaint-
ed with the affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Glover, and
take his advice upon the subject.
The parties withdrew, each claimant of the
lovely child keeping a firm grasp of the band, of
which they bad severally possessed themselves.—
The object of their contention was much affected,
and her tears flowed copiously during the whole
a the time that the business was being submitted
to the Magistrate.
