HEARTLESS OMNIBUS RonnEnr.-:-Last week a poor
woman, living at Hackney, proceeded to Peckham to re-
ceive 21., a yearly gratuity of a charitable lady residing
there, and on her return home in a Peckham omnibus,
a gentlemanly-looking fellow entered into conversation
with her on the mildness of the season, and its conse-
quent blessing to the pour, &c., when she foolishly re-
counted the charitable deeds of her benefactress, and
explained the nature of her errand. Her sympathising
fellow-passenger left at the Elephant and Castle, and on
her arrival at Gracechurch-street the poor woman found
her pocket had been cut, and the 21. and a 6d. abstrac-
ted. A few benevolent individuals at Ilackney are
