EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
llF.4m.OrricE.—A young lady, moving in a respectable
The circiurt-
station of life, was yesterday committed to Newgste, from
this office, on a charge of shod-lifting.
stances of this case are rather curious, and possess in some
respects a melancholy interest. This lady was to have
been married on the very day that consigned her to dis-
grace and imprisonment, to an ignominious trial and pu-
nishment, for of her guilt, we fear, there is little doubt.
She was detected on the previous evening; having gone
into a fashionable shop in Dame-street, accompanied by
another young lady, to purchase wedding favours. The
young men in the shop were led to watch her narrowly,
from having a few days before missed a crape shawl and
some ribbons after this lady had been in the shop. On the
present occasion she was observed to secrete a piece of
white ribbon in her reticnle, and a police officer was sent for,
who took her into custody, and brought her to.the Head-
office. She gave her name and address, and, on their
being required, the keys of her trunk ; on searching which,
shawl and ribbon, and W.
the officer found the mising
in bank-notes. The young lady who was in company
with the prisoner was excessk•ely shocked at the disco-
Very of her friend's delinquency; ihe was, of course, im-
mediately discharged ; the other was kept in custody in
the office during the night, and was yesterday brought up
for further examination. Little more transpired than we
have already related, except that on the morning of her
apprehension, she had gone into the shop of M respect-
able silversmith, where she purchased six tea-spooni-, but
managed at the same time to secret two or three trillitig
articles.
The gentleman to whom she was to have been married
appeared yesterday at the police office, where he endea-
voured to console, by his presence, the object of his affec-
tions, verifying the words of the poet, •
" I ask not, I ears not, if guilt's in that heart,
• " But I know that I love thee, whatever thou Att." •
It is • melancholy consolation to know, that the lady is
not one of those who are occasionally found addicted to
the vice of pilfering without the temptation of necessity.
Whatever may have led her to it, in the presence in-
stance, it is evident, from the effect her novel situation
has produced upon her, that shame and anguish rend her
breast ; and we understand that those who saw her on the
previous evening, would scarcely have known her, whets
she was brought before the Magistrates yesterday morn-
ing, although the humanity of Mr. Farrell afforded her
every accommodation that her situation would admit of
through the night.—Freeman's Journal.
