MA It YLE NE.OFFICE.

Yesterday Ernino Waters, a young woman of ilashing ap-
pearance, was brought to thin office from the watch-house, in
the custody of Stowell, the officer, charged with having corn.
twitted tin assault upon him in the execution of' his duty, and
siding in the escape of her husband, against whom the officer
had a warrant fur obtaining goods under false pretences.
The case excited seine interest, and the office was crowded
by individuals who had charges to make against the prisoner's
husband, had Stowell been suCcessful in his apprehension.
Stowell was sworn; and he stated that a warrant had been
ranted about one month ago, to apprehend the prisoner's hus-
band (IL B. Waters), who was'chnrged with Laving obtained
propertY under rabic pretences from Mr. Cripps; bird-cage-
'
maker; of Piccadilly. Witness had since made every' in-
(inky after him, and at length traced him to a house in
Drummond:street, Somers-town,' where he proceeded in order
to execute his warrant on Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock. '
On his arrival there he watt not at-home but he 'waited for
hint three hours, when he tottered the place with the prisoner. 1 Witness asked hitn whether his name wet Waters ;" hesald
it Iva- not, his mane was " JOhnSUil." Witness then asked
hint if he knew AD. Cripps, of Ph:cuddly' to which he replied

that "he did not." Witness then intimated that he had no
doubt from the information lie received, but he was the indivi-
dual named in the warrant, which he presented to him ; and on
jiuttkOg ' further questiGnis.he inlid. that the prisoner at the
bar was named Waters" but his name was Johnson ; he.
had no connexion with her, and at his peril to take him in
custody. Witness replied,, that he was ready to run all risk,
and it was his duty to take him in custody. He then request-
ed-witness to walk in the back-parlour, which he did, anti he
there confessed that he knew the nature of the complaint
against him, and begged of him not to execute the warrant,
at the same time offering him money or any thing else, if he
would suffer him to escape justice. NVitness said, he could
not consent to any thing of the kind • he had only one duty to
perform—that of taking/14n before the magistrate. He then
requested permission to go tip stairs to do something before
he was taken to the watch-house. Witness allowed him to
do so, %but followed him, and waited until he returned with
him to the back parlour, where the prisoner was standing be-
fore the fire-place, and the parlour window, which was shut be-
fore, was now open. On entering the room, they had not been
there a moment when the female (the prisoner) rushed upon
witness in the most violent manner, and seized him by the silk
handkerchief round his neck, of which she laid tight hold,
squeezing her knuckles against his throat, and she exclaimed,
" Now %%raters " and while she kept her grasp, Waters made
a spring and Clisappeared in an instant, shutting. the window
after hue. Stowell called out watch, and. found it utterly im-
possible its release himself from her possession, and she thrust
her hand upon his mouth to preventihis cries being heard. At
length conceiving that the bird had flown sufficiently far to
avoid legal grasp, she let go ' • but the officer found that the
whole of the doors had been locked (a remedy to doubt con-
ceived by this heroine during their absence up stairs, to secure
the escape of her husband), and he had some difficulty in getting
out.
Mr. RAWLINSOW—Did the prisoner know you were an
officer ?

Stowell answered " Yes."
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you produce your warrant and staff?
Stowell—l did, and she saw them.
Mr. Rawi.rstsosr asked her what she had to !lay for herself..
The prisoner, who stood at the bar with her muff before her,
said, in a very pert style, "I deny having struck the officer or
seized him. I also deny having put my hand upon his mouth.
He almost pushed me down before I touched him."
Stowell denied this, and repeated that she seized him, and
gave the signal to Waters to go out of the window immediately
afterwards.
Mr. Raw rawsosr asked whether he could have apprehended
Waters with facility had not the prisoner been present ?
Stowell-1 certainly could.
The prisoner denied this, and said that he had escaped through
the window before she laid hand* upon the officer.
Stowell denied it.
Mr. Raw LiNsow observed, that he could not but admire
the spirit of a woman who would thus act in protection of her
husband, and he thought it a pity to send her to prison, but
however his private feelings might operate in her favour, there
was a duty due to the public, and it was necessary to protect
their officers while In the just execution of their duty. He
must call upon her to find buil.
Mr. Craig, of Titchfield-street, Marylebone, here stepped
forward and stated? that Waters and the prisoner lodged in
his house for some time, and they agreed to pay him quarterly.
During the time they were there persons used to call with blue
bugs, and appeared business-like men, and would consult in
the most mysterious manner with Waters, and he (Mr. Craig)
concluded that they were no better than they ought to be. in
this opinion he was ultimately confirmed, for at the termina-
tion in the quarter Waters would not pay his rent, nor would
he deliver up the keys ; but on quitting threatened witness with
an action if he offered to force open his door in his absence.
Ile not long ago took a place in Mortimer street, Cavendish-
square, under similar circumstances, and would not quit the
place unless they forgave him the rent, Stowell traced him to
various places, where he had acted in a similar war.
Mr. liawuNsoie observed, that an old man who had been
pursued by a butcher, came to the office on Saturday week, to
ask protection, because he was charged in the street by the
butcher with having swindled him. lie gave his name John.
son, and said, his brother lived in Mortimer-street, but he
would not tell the number. There might be a gang of them
acting in this way.
Shortly after tthemphe risoner was locked up, two persons came
forward to offer selves as bail, when the following singular
dialogue took place s
Mr. RAWLINSON—Who are you, Sir 2—Mr. Thomas, of
Horselydown,
Mr., Rawurrsow told him that the bail would not be ac-
cepted unless very responsible. He Would Muchrather see this
% tater* come forward, Ifhe wits innocent, than Fiend this spirited
woman to prison; but such should be the case If the ball was
not good. Do you know Waters ? Yes.
Mr. Ilawrawsore,,.Then perhaps you can tell us who and
whist he is ?.—I always thought him a tradesman.
Mr. ILawrasieoN—Ay, but what sort of a tradesman 2—A
tailor,
Mr. RA WI.) NSON—Is he married to the prisoner P—Yes.
Ir. Raw ursoN.-011, you must know something shout

Mr. RAWLINSOST.—COMe, Sir, don't equivocate with me,

quested you to become bail 2—A Mr. Philips.
M. ilawrasticist.—What is he P--He is in his Majesty's—
the Last India Company's service. (After more questions, he
said he was a respectable man.)
Mr. Itawr.rusow then questioned the other, who said he
was a mate of the fiellona merchant-ship.
Mr. IlawLtsisoX.—And where is the ship ?—At Philaciel
phia.

Mr. RAWLINSOX—Tben you are nothing now ?-../40.

Mr. hawr,ixsow tiutioned them of the tisk they were about
to run, and aunt Morris to make immediate inquiries as to their
responsibility.

'UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Josh. Nudism, of pugilistic celebrity, and two
of his pails or eampanione, appeared at this office, before the
sitting Alagistrate, R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. charged with hav-
ing assaulted a whole room full ofcornpany, by dashing glassee
of hot brandy and Water at their heads.
Froth the statement of the landlord of the sign of the Europa-
tavern, in the Borough, it appeared that Josh. and the other
twoftleSendants entered his coffee-room on Saturday, and hay.
ing punished two bottles of wine, besides sundry glasses of
warm brandy and water, they commenced chaffing some of
the company, who manifested their displeasure of such free-
dom, and requested that the defendants would keep their own
company, and not disturb the hilarity that had previously
reigned in the house. The defendants, however, became
more and more troublesome, until at length the whole 'com-
pany became unanimously of opinion that the absence of
Josh. and his tWQ friends could be well dispensed with, and
for the purposre Of carrying their wishes into execution, with.
out committing any breach of the peace, it was suggested to
then that unless they could conduct themselves in a gentle-
manlike manner, they had better withdraw altogether from the
house. No sooner wak the intimation given than the glasses
of brandy end water then before the defendants were flung at
'the heads of those whit considered themselves insulted, and
such a rumpus took pace that it was found necessary to call in
some watchmen, to whom the three defendants were given in
charge. A t'the conclution of the above statement, one of the
parties who had been assaulted stepped forward, and said he
had never seen Josh, in particular more " obstrapolitt" in hie
life. His (Josh.'s) glass of brandy and water was particularly
hot at the time, and witness received the greater part of it with
much force on the left. aide of his face. Witness added,, that
when Josh. was in custody, he was " mighty
was bouncihle," re_
fusing to make any apology for the " row" he had created ;
in
wn
and saying that he more independent than any !pen
the parish--that he could sport more ~blunt ;" and, in taet,
that he did not care it straw about any one, for he was his o
master.
The Magistrate here inquired whether the defendants were
drunk during the above cirettinstances and viheilier they .had
become so in the house where the assaults were committed;
for if so, the landlord deserved severe censure. •
The landlord of the Europa declared that Josh, and his
companions were
.tipsy when they came in ; that all he had
served them with were two bottles of wine and a glass of hot
brandy and water each, which latter was consumed in the way
above stated.
Josh., however, contradicted the last witness's statement,
and said, he could prove that, instead of two, nine. glasses
brandy and water followed the two bottles of wine, with the
exception of the " little drop" diet was spilt during the
affray that was tea Seriously represented to the magistrate, and
which, in fact, the complainants were equally blameable those that had been charged. as
Mr. CHAMBERS obierved, that this was a public-house
squabble, and as it appearedd-tliat Hudson and his friends wore
drunk at the time, he would fine them each ss. a.piece for that
offence to tho King, besides half.a-crown to each of the 'con-
stables and watchmen who had the trouble of taking them into.
custody, and bringing them to thie office.
Josh—l. won't pay nothing, your Worship; I'd rather pat in,
bail, and take it to the Sessions.
nor. CHAMBERS—I Ain also call upon each of you, the
defendants, to pay one sovereign a•Pi"a to some charity,' as a
punishment for the assaults you have committed. .
Josil-4t is a hard cue sir, that us gentlemen should have
