MARI.BOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Rol, the sluing lilagi;trate at this office, was Taster-.
day some time occupied in the' investigation of a case which in•
volved the sudden flight or disappearance of a 101. 144
England note, the property of the illarchioness Cort.wiffiti.
% young man in the service of a grocer, who 'supplies the
establishment of the Marchiones* with groceries, was charged
on suspicion of having stolen the said 101. note under the tot%
lowing circumstances:--A young woman who lives as cook in
the establishment of the Marchioness Cornwallis, stated, that
on Wednesday this young man came from the
grocer who
sup
plies the house, to receive payment of a small bill which she
was to pay him, and she invited him down into the kitchen she
that purpose. When he entered the kitchen first, di" 'vas,"
woman there who had come with some vegetables irowt
green-grocer's, but she went away Almost immediately after.,
—she (the cook) took out her purse, in which there was a 1"
Bank of England note, given to herby the Alarchioncs, to Pal
some bills, and she had in it also sonic other money; Ilavitgr
occasion to go for a moment into the pantry, she laid her puree,
with its contents, upon the kitchen table, leaving no one in the
kitchen during her absence but the grocer's young man, and °S
her return from the pantry, and taking up her purse to pay the
grocer's bill, she discovered that the 101. note had bees ab•
stracted, and there was no other person on whom she could rest
her suspicion except this young man.
The young man in his defence said, that the cook's account
of the transaction was altogether erroneous. In the first place,
he denied that the cook ever quitted the kitchen at all while he
remained in the house, or retired to the pantry as she had der
scribed; and in the next place he said that the greengrocer's
woman remained .behind him in the kitchen, and had been in
it all the *hue that he had been there, so that it was impossible
for him, if he felt ever so inclined, to take the note without her
observing him.

The )lung man's master said that he could not suspect the
accused of any act of the kind ; he had been for some years is
his service, and had had the care of hundreds of pounds corn-
mined to him frequently, and he was never known to beqpilrY
of an irregularity. Besides, he was a young man of the most
dly and ecoaoinical habits. He never went out at all in the
evenings, or has any inclination for expensive society; and s
cairect and steady was he in his entire conduct, that his former
employer, as well as his' present, had made him several pro-
Gents, and the young man had also, by his industry and eco-
nomy, saved a good sum of money.
The green-grocer's woman said that she recollected meeting
the young man in the kitchen of the Marchioness Cornwallis
the day beige, and she was not sure whether she herself or th'
young man quitted the house first but her impression Ivo,
that the young man remained behind her in the kitchen. litf
said, however, that while she remained in the kitchen, the coos.
did not leave it at all, but was in conver-ntion with the young
man as to some difference in the accout.t.book.
A gentleman who attended as a friend of Lady Corn waWsz
said, on being asked by the Magistrate,' that her ladyriliP ha.°
not any account of the number of the note given to the coot
her ladyship's butler also attended, but could throw no HIP
upon the affair.

Mr. Hot: said, that under the circumstances. and Poticg-
larly on account of the very good character which the young
man bore in the opinion of his employers, he should not send
him to prison on the charge, but would take his master's en°
gagement fur his appearance when again wanted. The matte
readily entered into such engagement, and the young men wml
for the present discharged.
The cook, the whole time she was in the office, never essase
crying bitterly, so that her fitie and eyes were inflanha
remarkable manner.

MARYLEBONE-OFPICE.
A young lady of fashionable appearence attended et this
office to ask the advice of the Magistrates under the fellowius
extraordinary eireumstances z—She stated that she had lateV
been married to a young gentleman, with whom she had beep,
living in apartments at Kilburn, in which house his aunt al&
rasided ; from some cause or other she was not agreeable
to their union, and she had done every thing in her power e 1
annoy her (applicant.; On Wednesday morning Iset, D,Ase
hosband went out rather early, intimating to her that he wousi
return home to dine at four o'clock. After waiting patientlf
for him a considerable time beyond that hour, she went Ott:
visit a friend, but returned back almost immediately, when els
knocked at the door, on which the servant-maid put her he 4
out of the window, and told her that she had received order)
from the aunt to refuse her adniassion, and that her husband
would not return for some days. Applicant was quite aste'
' nished at this abrupt relusal, and not being satisfied with this:
used V.

she remained opposite the door for upwards of two lioonti,thoanc
every means in her power to gain admittance, but o

back to her friend's house, who advised her to apply to a 3111 P

aunt, who was highly displeased at their union, and did all la
her power to separate them.
Mr. Cit•lrryrets inquired whether the aunt or the WU'
cant's husband had taken the lodgings ? •
The young lady said, that the aunt took the lodging" 1„i
them at their request, and lived with them for the sulfa "
society. She also paid the rent. •
Mr. GarrtOrtas said, that if the aunt had taken the toeg,i
ing, and paid the rent, neither the applicant nor her lae,ban
could insist on being admitted into the house; it was thertiote
out of his power to interfere.
The young lady said that she was determined to applY to s
solicitor on the subject, and then quitted the office.
