t tune of their country entered the office, accompanied by the con-
fidential servant of Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Warner, of 129, Craw-
ford-street. From We Statement of the servant it appeared that
Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Warner arrived in 'th:s country about three
weeks since, front RoMbay, by the Royal Genive Indianian,
Captain Reynolds. The female Indian, who gave her name Mary
Ann Ayah, (Ayah being -the general name lins female attendants
in India) was hired by those ladies to attend them during the
voyage, and was to receive ten pounds as a gratuity on her arr.-
rival, if she conducted herself to their satisfaction, Insides a cer-
tificate of her character. Ayala, was • laft in the ship with the
luggage, and did not go near the ladies until Friday last, when
she called with her son; a sailor; Whom she met accidentally in
this country. She demanded her character and the promised
gratuity, adding that she was to sail thefollowiug day in the saint
ship with her son. Mrs. Warner having missed some property
from the luggage, and amongst other things a valuable writing
thek, which was taken from one of the drawers of the bureau,
and being informed that Ayah lett the ship the third day, but dill
not call on the ladies until the eve of her. departure, strong sun-
-I,icions were entertained, against her, and •Mrs. Warner accused
her of stealing the property, which Ayah denied. At the request
of the ladies, Ayah and her ran were brought before the magis-
trates, to be detained until some enquiry should be made after the
property.

Ayah defended herself with a great deal of ingenuity, making
the most of the proficiency which she acquired in the English
language. She Said that that was her fifth voyage to England,
and she prddtteed several certificates of Character, from those
families, that she attended on the voyage homewards. Site
also appealed to Mr. ( ;mild, one of.the Agents
,of the East India
Company.
Ilawl,mort nhsti vii,thst `'her artless manner, and the
act of her going to those ladies for her character, were in her
favour: If she was guilty of stealing the property, it was natural
to suppose that she Wolild avoid going near Mrs. Warner's house.
He did not feel nuthorimA to detain these foteigners rig mere sus-
picion ; for they had a right to every protection that he Could
give them.
Mrs. Warner here enteted the office, End requested that an
officer should be sent to search the truuLa of Ayals and her son,
which would be satisfactory to.her, and Mrs. Scott, u well as to
Captain Reynolds, who was quite indignant that any imputation
should be cast on the honesty of his crew. It was then agreed
that the confidential servant should accompany the mother and her
mini to search their trunks.

All the parties attended, again accompanied by Mrs. Scott, and
reported that the emelt was fruitless, and Ayah Appeared in great
spirits at the result, notwithstanding which, the ladies persisted in
refusing to give the promised gratuity. A long and animated
dialogue in the HindOstau language followed, in which Mrs. War-
ner, Mrs. Scott, Ayah, and her son, each took a part. The Ma.
gistrates looked on, and congratulated themselves, that the wordy
war, which now and again ran very high, in. sound and gesture,
was to them " dumb eloquence." • Mrs. Scott informed them
that Ayeh had no claim -upon her or Mrs. Warner, for the 101.,
;old referred her to Captain Reynolds, at the Jerusalem Coffee-
honse, Carnhill._ . •

Mr.' flaw',mawt said he could not decide between the parties,
and recommended Ayah to call on Captain Reynolds.
Mr•s. Scott wrote the Captain's address on a slip of paper ; hut
Ayah, quite indignant, refused to take it from her, and requested
the Magistrate to write it, which he did. The parties then left
the office.

Chelsea. On Sunday morning the prisoner and Shorer went out
together, and returned home about eleven o'clock ;•witness was
angry, and on remonstrating with him on coming home so (being
rather tipsy), he appeared vexed, and began to abuse her daughter;
who was making the breakfast, when she, witness, interfered, and
it was in his attempt to strike her that the prisoner, in the act of
stopping him with a knife in her hand cutting some bread and
butter, stuck it into his arm, and the blood flowed copiously ;
she 'considered her daughter had committed the deed by ac-
cident.

• John Testamou, employed as an assistant in the stables belong-
ing to Mr. Musgrave, of Sloane-street, said that about twelve
o'clock on Sunday last, while he was cleaning the harness, he saw
the injured man come out of the house,

round the house, and the prisoner was observed at the first floor

to that effect. Theirisoner also showed the knife at the window ;
