NAPOL N .

A curious conversation is said to liave t3kert
place, eight hours after NA PoLcos's landing at
Cannes, between him and the Prince of MONACO.
formerly first Everry to JosErut NE. It W:IS at
One o'clock in the morning ; the,moou had been
tip about half an hone. NAPOLEON was standing;
in the bivouac of his soldiers, with his back turned
towards a small fire. The Prince of MONACO ,vas
presented, and immediately recognized him : un-
til then he had refused to give any credit to the
report of his being there. " W(tat," said he,
" your Majesty here ! It is then usciess for me
to continue my route to my principality. A di-
vision of your army has WitliOlit doubt, ere now,
taken possession of it.''—" And of what nation.
is that division, pray )"—" It is impossible for
me to say," replied the Prince; " perhaps Aus-
trians
or English:.—t. what 1. do you suppose
Me to be base enough to enter France wiih a
foreign army ? No you behold it all—all are
Frenchmen ; and the whole force does not amount
to 3000 men ; they will march by in about. art
hour's time, and you may then go on to your des-
tination."—" And to where do you proceed in this
manner i"—" To Paris." Immediately afterwards.
NAPOLEON made a signal, and the rest of the audi-
tors retired, leaving the;;; to converse together,
which they did for nearly'half an hour, about some
persons of their acquaintance ; but nothing further
of the conversation has transpired.

SURREY SESSIONS, OCT. 21.

A CURIOUS CASE.

. .
Sarah Bancroft was indicted for an assault on
L:itey Lawrence,' on the 27th of June last. The
prOsecutrix, a woman apparently about 60, stated;
that she lives in High-street, Lambeth, nearly
opposite the defendant, who is married to a
Lighterman, and has two children. On the day
in. question the prosecutrix came to the door to
take* in her mills, when defendant csime 'up at the
satire tine, accused the prosccutrix of having calla
ed her w—e, and of having distributed a certain
song containing, abuse of her. 'The prosccutrix
denied the charge in miller strong language ; upon
which defendant took her basin from her, struck
ber over the head with it, threw her down, and
Ite.at and kicked her about the head and loins, and
contitlned to do so till some person came to her
rescue. This was the assault complained of.
Cross-examined by Mr. No LA rc..--The go,ds'have
made you a.poet have they not You wrote a song
called "Moggy Longnose," and distributed it
about, did you not ?-1 did ; 1 can compose any
thing.
_ _ _

Qv Yes, any thing but your own temper. You
made that song on the defendant, did you 3.—No,
made it on myself for pleasure.
Q. Why is your name Moggy Longnose ?
.31,1*y mother gave me that nick-name when_ I was a.
girl. I have a long nose as well as Mrs. Ban-
.
;croft .

Q. Listen to what I read, and then ,say
whe-
ther you made it on yourself 1—

" I-1y name it is Moggy, I have a long nose,
For which the men love me, as you may suppose,
The first man that loved me was Jemmy by name;
If You ask all my neighbours they'll tell you the t•ame;
But he went for the Local, and when we did pat t,
I sighed any I cried •'till I near broke my heart.?

. .
Du these lines apply to you ? Was your .first
-sweetheart Jimmy in the Local ?-1.1l swear I
nude that song on myself. -Jemmy was in a Lo-
-cal Society ; he got drunk and WaS dismissed, and
We parted on that account.
Q. I see you married a Lighternian was
so stated in the next verse.

•
Q. Do these lines apply to, yon ?
,6 Two children I brought him, which I think no disgrace
"But some think thd Chandler put a nose on their face."

'Q. Do you mean to take these lines to yourself
also, good Mrs. Lawrence`?—Such things will
Lappeu.
The Counsel then proceeded to examine the rest
of this poetical effusion, which was all in the
.same style. He then put a written paper into
the witness's hand.

Q Is this your hand-writing don't know
don't think it is.,

Will you swear it is not ?—I can't Say ;
won't swear; „many people write alike, many pen
have been executed for forgery through finis
take.

CHAIRMAN-I'll have your answer to this q!tes•
Lion ; look at- the paper, read it, , and then say
whether" it is your writing, or I will conimit you 3
—lt is no use my looking' at it, I can't say ; it
,may he my writing ; I can write, but 1 can't read
wh-it I have written.

Two other witnesses were examined, who cor
inborated the statement of the prosecutrix us to
.xhe assault.

Mr. NOLAN called witnesses, to prove that the
first assault was committed by the proseentrk; lie
failed however to do so, and the Jury found de-
fendant—Guilty. _ _

Mrs. Bancroft being in a state of pregnancy,
the CHAinmAN said, the Court would allow her to
compromise the case with the prosecutrix.
This indulgence was accepted; and the pro-
secutrix having consented to receive a sum of mo-
ney, the defendant was fined a shilling and dis-
charged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ELOPEMENT.

MANSION.HOUSE.-Yeterday Mr. Brown, who
keeps a china warehouse in Fleet-market, applied
to the Lord Mayor for information in what manner
to proceed against a Gentleman of large fortune,
who resides in Wolverhampton, and has destroyed
the happiness of a family by stealing away one of
the female members of it. The young Lady is 13,
- the man is upwards of 50.
The LORD MAYOR said, be had waited in anxiety
to hear the result of the application he had sug-
gested in private to Mr. Brown, and the father of
the young Lady. All that he could do in this
afflicting affair should be done; and it the accused
was in the city of London, he should be respon-
. sihle at a moment's warning.
Mr. Brown said, the only addition he had to
make to the account stated in private, was the
melancholy one, that the mother of the young
Lady was on her death-bed ; that her malady was
a In oken heart, inflicted by the event ; and that
insult was added to the it reparable injury the
family had already sustained. •
The LORD MAYOR.—You told me that the man
to whom the family._ owed all these obligations was
ixtely eotteetned in an affair which reflected the
greatest honour upon him—that in which the in-
, linhitauts of Wolverhampton were so much inte-
rested. Have you any doubt as to the identity of
. this benevolent person ?
Mr. Brown.—None : the father of the young
lady mentioned to tne his suspicions of this gentle-
man, and put her under my care. She is my wife's
near relation, and received from both of us the
tnost earnest entreaties to guard against his soli-
, citations. I know that he was one of the advo-
cates of two poor men who were comic/I-met! to
die; and that at the very t iine he pretended to he
so deeply interested in the cause of humanity, he
was planning the destruction of Miss Jackson,
The LORD MAYOR.—I wish, above all things, to
serve vou in this case of extremity. Have you
such evidence as may authorize me to issue a

warrant
Mr. Brown.—l apprehend not, my Lord. I
have no witness to prove that she went off with
him, or that she was seen with hint after she left
my house ; but perhaps what I have to state may
:be considered important in the.view your Lord-
tiiip takes of this plan of iniquity. I saw the se-
thpcer in a hotel opposite to tny, house holding up
a letter, evidently to catch the eye of Miss Jack-
son, which circnm,tance, connected with his for-
-4..i luilowiog her ta:revel: she went,

confirmed me in the opinion that be took her away.
The medical, attendant upon her mother, whose
deplor•able state is to be attributed to this event,
called upon this m►►n to beg for die love of Hea-
ven thrit he would give back the child of whom
his patient had been robbed, as the only means of
preserving her life. The answer was, that he was
really sorry, and would convey to the daughter a
letter front her father or mother with punctuality;
but• as to her restoration not the slightest hope
was held out.

. - •
The LORD MAYOR.--I regret more than I can
express that this case does not conie immediittelY
under .my authority.. I should punish such vil-
kitty with the utmost severity. A public exposure
may at any r.ate be expected here. Are the fugi-
tives now in London ? if SO, I shall grant a

warrant. •
Mr Brown said the man was certainly at Wol-
verhampton.
Mr. jolobler suggested that a habeas should be
immediately served upon hint.
• The Loin MAYOR.—That is the most advisable
course. It is' only necessary to make affidavit of
the pacts you have stated, and to procure an affi-
davit of the medical man's deelaratio„ in order to
obtain ahabeas, If cot tempt follow, the hand
(4 Lord Ellenborongli will tall with great weight
upon him. . .
Mr Brown seemed delighted with-this intelli-
gence. He presented hem the father of the girl
a letter'of thanks. lt, consisted prin6ipally of in-
coherent remarks upon the-loss of his child, the
despair of his wife, and his own feelings, and an
entreaty to the Lord Mayor. .
- The Loup .MAyort observed, that if any feeling
was to,be•found iu the seducer, that letter would
.hriog it forward. Ile desired to he informed of
the cOuserprence of the summary proceeding he
now recommended. ' ,
ROBBERY.AT AN HOTEL.
QuEEN-SCHJARE.—John White, alias Richardson,
was brought. to the Office, in custody of Pace the
-officer, charged before the Sitting Magistrate, P.
CoLQUIIOLYN, Esq. by the aforesaid Pace, with a
robbery, committed at•Mivart'sllotel, in Lower
Brook-street,underthefollowingeircurnatances:—
It appeared that the Hou. Edward Oxendon,
having cone to town last week, for a few days, re-
sided at the before-mentioned Hotel, and on Wed-
nesday last, for his ,going home to dresS, he tumid
his room bad been catered, and his coat and a
Rah, of pantalooos• taken away. None of the
servants had observed any •stranger go up stairs.,
and the matter was a subject of great uneasi-
ness through the whole family. Mr. Mivart,
alarmed for the reputation of his house, and de-
termined to take the most effectual means, on
Thursday applied to Queen-square for an Officer,
and Nee was sent to him. He asked Mr. Oxen-
don tor'a desciiption of the things stolen, who
told him a loose brown coat, a short blue ditto,
and a pair of -pepper and salt pantaloons, in the
pockets of which was sewed a draft for 1001'. on
the house of DruHlrfitHltf,• Charing-cross. Pace
immediately set 44
,to (he Bankers to stop pay-
ment.of the Note, and taking itieitas that the per-
sons bringing it might be stopped. -In 'the mean
time he tried in vain to find Out the pirrty.
On -Saturday moruting the -draft was scot to
Drnmmond's,• by the porter of Northumberland
Coffeehouse, indorsed in
and desiring the note might be accepted and re-
turned by the bearer. The answer sent was, that
Mr. D. was out of town, but it the.- Gentleman
would call on Monday :morniug, he would_he sure
to receive it with -the acceptance. •Notice was.
immediately sent to Pace, who planned' his mea-
sures accordingly, and on Monday morning the
prisoner was taken into custody.
On being searched, a great number of dirpli-
cates were found on him, by some of which it ap-
!reared that his real name was Richardson. By
Adreads of a most diligent search and inquiries, in
Holywell-street, among tbe old clothes shops,
Pace has recovered both coats and pantaloons,
and it is remarkable, that 'in one corner of the
draft there • are several threads by uhich it. was
'sewed to the pocket.
Mr. Oxendon having left town for Cambridge,
prisoner was remanded for a farther examination.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE MAN IN. THE SACK.—Mr. Brookes, it,
seems does no( intend following up the prosecu-
tion against the living subject left at his house, as
it turns out to have been altogether a hoax.
,The man Morgan, it seems, is a sort of caddee
to a body of resurrection men, and, according to
. his oWn confession, he was prevailed upon to be-
come the dupe of their Inn. -He statt'!ct who took
him to Mr. Brookes, and left him at the top Of
the steps. - lie felt no alarm until the Doctor and
his man were talking about tumbling him down
stairs, and actually commenced that hostility to
his person. He denied having been drunk, as he
had asserted. It turned out also, that Mr. Brookes
had been apprised that a subject was coming at a
certain hour, and that he had advanced some mo-
ney on account. Morgan mentioned time name of
Easy Chapman, a notorious resurrection man, as
the principal.

CORONERS' INQUEST.

CAUTION TO PERSONS ADMINISTERING MEDICINE.

An Inquisition was 'taken last. night 'before
Hocts Law's, Esq: Coroner, at the 'l'urf Tap,
Grosvenor-place, near St. George's Hospital, on
the body of Dennis Kenny, a well-known cha-
racter, wholor the last 13 years, has sold fruit
at a stall at Hyde Ilark Corner gate,.and died on
Sunday,-morning last, in St. George's Hospital,
from having an excessive quantity of medicine, of
a deleterious quality, administered to him acci-
dentally by the nurse.
William. Wright -Hewitt sworn.—He is resi-
dent apothecary to St. George's Hospital.. The
deceased had been about a month in the Hospital
with a rheumatic complaint, which he was afflict-
ed with. yearly, and had been for the last eight
years regularly confined in.tke_ Hospital witfi that
disorder. On Saturday morning, about eleven
o'clock, he was sent fnr by nurse Walker, who
informed hint that she had given the deceased, on
the preceeding night, the whole contents of the
bottle of medicine, instead of the fifteenth part of
it, as the label directed, and had discovered her
error. The deceased was then labouring tinder
eery distressing syMptoms ; he gave him some
medicine whieb;hc thought would be most likely
to relieve him. The symptoms, instead of abating,
increased'in violence, notwithstanding all his ef-
forts ; and on the Snr.drry morning he expired.—
The medicine which was. administered bad been
much used in similar complaints with the (greatest,
advantage, and if given in proper doses was a very
proper and beneficial remedy. The character and
conduct of the nurse he knew to be in general de-
serving .ot approbation ; she was careful, prudent,
and attentive. The case of. the death of the de-
ceased*, he had no doubt, was in. consequence 'of
Alt excessive quanti-y of the medicine having been
given to him by accident. There were proper
directions on the phial which contained the me-
dicine,

Catherine Walker, widow, day-nurse in Si.
George's Hospital, sworn.—The deceased was a
patient under her care in the King's ward ; she
had a woman to-assist her, but sire never intrust-
ed her to adMinister medicines to the sick. On
Friday night last she gave the deceased the crhole
conkents•of a phial bottle, without looking to the
written 'directions on the label._ She could only
account for so doing-by being ;very Much hurried
in attending on a medical gentleman; who was
cupping some of the palients. -During the inter-
vals the surgeon. did not want her, she went to
the patients and helped then to their physic ; and
having helped the deceased on the preceding-night
to a draught, the whole contents of a. bottle about
the same size as that she had then to administer,
she supposed it was a draught of thr klq•!,
and gave him the whole. On the f,,: morn-
in'g, about seven -o'clock, the night nurse came
and informed her that Kenny haul been in gnat
pain all night ; she ran in her night clothes and
asked him how he did ; she took, up the phial
which had contained, t he. medicine, and found that
she had given him fifteen times the quantity she
ought to have done ; she was much frightened.
About 11 o'clockshe.-informed Mr.-1..-I,ceitt of thq
circurnsta.nce;., fright ..ptevented. her from telling
him before.

The Coroner and Jury very much censured the
nurse for not informing the sa'rgeon until four
,hours after she, discovered her error for it Was
possible, if hehad had an antidote sooner, his .lie
might have been saved.

ihe Jury, atter a short consultation, returned
'the following verdict :---" Died in consequence of
having administered to him, by accident, an ex-
cessive quantity of medicine. of a deleteriouS na-
ture."
