MARYLEI3ONE.-,-A most interesting and respectable looking
young lady, came into'the office in great agitatiou„ followed by
William Betty, a Marylebone countable, leaving charge of a young
man, who bore every exterior mark of a Gentleman.
The lady complained tbat the gentleman had very grossly in-
sulted her, and she implored the protection of the Magistrates.
Mr. BAWLINSON—WiII you have the goodness to tell me Who
you are, and where you r— ts+iide?ir,
is Margaret Westwood ; I re-
Complainant.My name, s
side in the country, but I have been visiting at a friend's house,
No. 1, Little l'ilarlborough-street, and to-morrow 1 prepare to go
to my own home. •
Mr. RAW.LINSON then desired her to state the nature of the in-
sult she had received. •
She,said, the gentleman, who was a stranger to her, accosted
her in the street, in a very impertinent manner, and desired her to
take his arm. She tried to avoid him, but he followed her into a
court, by which she endeavoured to pass ; there he again insulted
her, took away her umbrella, and insisted upon her taking his
arm, and going with him. Not being able to escape from his
importunity, she desired him to go about his business. lie then
became abusive, and made use of language which she could not

repeat.
Mr. Rawt.txsott---Did: he take hold of you, or put his hand
upon you ?
Miss Westwood—He did, Sir, he put his hand upon my bosoin,
and his language was
.shocking. Alias Westwooi ' further, said
that after a time they came into Oxford-street, and there the gave
him in charge.
Mr. Itswr.flesoN (to the. defendant)—lf this is true, and I
have no cause to doubt it, it is very disgraceful conduct on your
part ; 'pray who aae you, and where do you live ?
Defendant—My name is Edmund Stoleworthy, and I live at
No. 12, aiureh-terrace, Waterloo-road. '
Mr. Itawrarlsore asked him, if he could find any excuse for
his conduct.? - , -
He said, he had dined at the York. Chop-house, in Wardour,-
street ; after dinner, aA he and the laily were walking accidentally
throtigh the court opposite, he turned round to look at her; at
whiCh she 'expressed herself mitch displeased, and called him. au
impudent fellow ; it was tine that he took her umbrella, helve°
site held it to his face; he did not intend to rob her of it, for, be
instantly set it down upon the' ground, and lodged it against
her knees ; when they got into the open street, she again called
him an iinpndent fellow for speaking to ' her 'and, in Oxford-
greet, she actually followed him, and kept esking every one for
a constable. . . • . ' ' '' ' '
Mr. RawLtissori--And in So 'doing, she •did very Properly.
It ii a very serious thing, that became a young lady's 'attrac-
tions are great, and I am sure her modesty and. respectability ep.
pear to he equally so, 'she cannot walk. along the streets without
being solicited to take the arm of a stranger, and accompany
hint to a house of ill-fame; end then, because she makes resist-
awe, she is to be insulted end shackled by a gross coudnet and
had language.

Miss Westwood, bursting into. tears—lndeed, Sir, he did ;
although he never saw me before, he made use of. a very insult,.

Miss Westwood—lkfore we came into a public office, 1 would

Mr. ItawrAissox—Where do you live?
Miss Westwood—At Brighton, •Sir.,•
Mr. Rasvmssan—And can you come up to London at the
time of the Sessions to, give your evidence against iiiM ?
Miss Westwood---I ant sure my friends will pay my, expences it
it is necessary.
4r. Rawustsciti to Mr. Stoleworthy—What are you?
Mr. Stolewerthy,--II em engaged in the soap trade. r .
Mr. Ita•wriitismi—lf you ;nuke a suitable apology, and give a
small sum to some charity, perhaps it may be settled without
going to the !Sessions. ..
Mr. Stoleworthy—She may be as chaste, as. any of toy own
children, and Saying so, I think it. sufficient.
Mr. Itswi,trisosi-1 think it very insufficient, you must say
sometising more than that.
Mr. Stoleworthy to Miss Westwood,--Well then, I have to beg
your pardon, and I think you leave this Office without a stigma.
Mr. ItswraNsom—And that will not do.
In a t iril attempt, Mr. Stoleworthy expressed his sorrow for
the offeoce he had committed, and after he had placed half a
sovereign in Mr. Hawlineunts hands, to be applied to. some elm-
ritahle purpose,
' Miss Westwood expressed herself eatisfied, and , the parties
withdrew. . . .
A Deputation of the. inhabitants of Oxford street, 'waited •on
the Magistrates, to complain of the injury done to their business
by the erection of wood inclosurea, for the purpeter of • breaking'
the stones for M'Adatniiting that line of road. Their chief com-
• plaint was, that•the stones for the whole street were broken at
these erections, and .
.carted away to the other parts. of the road.
The Magistrates, however, could not interfere, and the Depute,
Bon was recommended to memorialise the Paving Hoard, and, if
redress wee not had: by such means, .to indict the Commissioners
for a nuisance.

In the course of yesterday evening, f..i.rassmith arrived
at Union-Hai, bringing with him :two men and a wornan,

then set off for Ether, voneeiving it, probable thatrthey
might have titken.that rued. On passino. through Esher-
toll-gate, he ascertained that two 'men and a woman; tete
of the former ha.ving s hrndkerchief tied round his head,'
,vent, through the liar on Monday. They hall an ass With.
them. The officer now considered that he was on a right
scent, told he trued these psu trt`a across a couutry through
hy.lattee, to the 'neighbourhood of Windsor,. where*
found them erreamped among . the Gipsies. The woman,
the officer was persuakkil, was not Mary Ayres;
:standing be thought it his datyHto take her • eempanitms
into custody, kspecielly as he tiacertained, on quoit*,
ing them, 'that :they wiote. near Leitherhead
night the murder was committed. The parties, whose
names arc Thomas' Walker and Moses• Draper, and
Walker's wife, readily agreed to accompany Grassmith
to Louden.
ThoMait Welker on being. examined before the magis-
trate (Mr. Caldwell), and being desired to give an account
of himself, especially where he had, passed the last few days,
said, that recently he had been,in Runt' pulling hops, and
on Thursday night he was within a mile and a half of
Leatherhead. That night he and his wife slept under their
tent, near Leatherhead-scrubbs. He was at. a public-house,
he said, in the neigbboarhood from seven to ten o'clock that
evening, when, he left and went to his tent. On the
folloWing Morning, he and his wife set off for a
_place called
Cleggett-lane, where they encamped, .and stayed until
Monday ,morning. He denied having been at Leatherhead
fair either on Wednesday or Thursday. He said that he
did not know Mary Ayres. They left Cleggett-lane for
Windsor: Draper was then with them. He (Walker)
had not heard of the murder when he was near Leather-
head. The first account that he heard of. it was at the
place where the officer took him into custody. He knew
Oakshot, through which he passed on Friday, but he did
not remember that any, person inquired what the hour was
011 passing Oakshot.
Moses Draper admitted having slept at a farm-house
between one and two miles of Leatherhead on the night
previous to the murders being perpetrated. He said that
he did not know where Fetcham was. On Thursday night
(the night of the murders) he said that he slept under, a
tree. The following day he joined Walker and his wifein
Cleggett-lane. At that time a man named Jones was with
him.* He knew not now where Jones was. On Monday,
Draper•said; they. all set •out for Windsor. He did not
know Oakshot ; he did not remember asking any person
*on Friday, us they were travelling, what o'clock it, was.—
He thought that a boy inquired of them what was the

..c. may not be, inapreper here to state that Isaac Sheath

posed to having met two men on Friday morning near
Oakshot, travelling towards Esher, who asked•him what

Draper said in conclusion that be was a native of West"
wick,' in 'Bedfordshire,' and that his companion 'made
clothes-pegs.
Both of the men in cum ody expressed horror at the
crime; end declared they would use every exertion to dis-
coVer the offenders. , , .
Or. CALDWF.II.I, felt disposed to believe that they were
not implicated in the dreadfulpinfe. 1-1 e then observed,
that the officer had acted perfectly right in apprehending
them. The,. Magistrate, them M. 4111, that they must be taken
(and they would have no objection to the arrangement if
they were conscious. of their. innocence) to Fetehaw in the

inornmg, and there undergo an examination before the
Rev. Mr. &Band, when the witnesses who had already
giVen evidence as to the fact of seeing two men and a wo-
man near Fetch= On Friday morning last, would :.be in
' attendance, and state whether or' not they were the parties
whom they had Seen. This was the course which Mr.
Caldwell added he'should adopt.

woman, then left the office, and to-day, at, au early hour,
they set Out for Fetcharn. ~ .
