Bottibill's statement that some time wince
he met the prisoner in Tottenham Court-rood, and thipiqug her

. .
a young country girl he made importunities to her, and she agreed
to accompany him home, and remained with him till morning.
He got up at six o'clock to let her out, and after she had been
gone about half an hour he missed his watch, &c. This morning
he saw her in Newgate street, and gave her into the custody of
an officer, to whom she confessed taking the watch, and pledg-
ing it, and giving the duplicate to her sweetheart.
The prisoner, in an artless manner, said that the gentleman in-
duced her to go home with him, saying he would give her a sove-
reign, but he did not. She was about to state further, but
was stopped by the Alderman, who said, that as the offence was
committed in the county, the case must go before a County Ma-
gistrate.—The parties then left the office.

BOW-STREET—(Txts DAY.)
Samuel Trott, a tailor, residing in the vicinity of Hatton-
Garden, was brought up on a charge of felony. The prosecutrir,
who, is a servant-maid, stated that she became acquainted with the
prisoner about a week ago, from his having accosted her in the
street ; she met him on Monday evening as she was going
with the making of a gown to a milliner's, he very gallantly
asked to carry her bundle, and after walking a short distance
he gave her the slip, and she did not see him or his bundle until
he was apprehended yesterday evening. He informed her that he
was a gentleman; while iu her company he called at a gentle •
man's house in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and told her that he was
courting the lady of the house. It was at that house that she
found out his address.

The master of the prosecutriz Minded, and gave her a good
character : he said that she hid come to his service from the
country, and was easily imposed upon : he had been informed
that the prisoner was in the habit of deceiving females, and had
succeeded in imposing on five girls before the present.
The prisoner made out a very plausible defence, which showed
that he was by no means a novice at the trade. He stated that
when he had left the prosecutrix, it was only for the pur-
pose of indulging in a call of nature ; and being affected
in a certain way, he delayed about a quarter of an hour.
After he had returned, he could not tiud the girl. He
went in search of her next day, and paraded before
her master's door, but he could not see her, and he did not wish
to call.

111 r. Masotti. appeared as solicitor ou his behalf, and sub-
mitted that there was not sufficient evidence to lead to a conviction.

The bundle, which the prisoner on being apprehended gave up
to the officer, was now opened, it contained an old gown, and the
making of the new one cut up.
The prisoner stated, that his sister had cut it according to the
old one, and was about to make it for the prosecutrix, at his
request.
The prosecutrix seemed quite alarmed on seeing it cut up, and
said that it was evidently for the use of his own sister.
After some ajtercation, in which the mother of the prisoner took
a share, Mr. Minehull severely reprimanded the prisoner for his
evil habits in decoying girls, and said that he would commit him
for trial if the prosecutrix insisted on it. This, however, she de-
clined to do, and the prisoner was discharged.
