money, a party came about him and thrUst him into
the street.
" No, Sir; there is n difference," replied Mr. Al-
derman BROWN. " The question is, whether that.
which' the prisoner has done was with felonious in-
tent. I have heard the evidence you have produced,
and I will not interfere any farther, hut you may not
he without a remedy elsewhere. The charge is dis-
missed."

The Alderman inquired whether the constable had
secured the money ? and was answered in the nega-
tive.

The Justice-room was crowded with re.pectable
person, who seemed interested in the case. .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A very decent-looking young female, who gave
her name Sarah Jones, was yesterday brought before
• Sir G. FARRANT, the sitting magistrate, charged
with the following thefts at the Bazaar in Soho-
square :
It appeared by the evidence, that about twn
o'clock on that afternoon the prisoner went up to
one of the stands in the Bazaar, the owner of which
was then absent at dinner, and in care of which
there was left only a little girl of 12 years of age.
The prisoner looked at and examined several articles
of ornament, but did not purchase any thing, arid
went away. She returned, however, again in a little
time, and looked over some articles, and went away
a second time without purchasing, and return-
ed a third time. On this, her third visit, a female
in an adjoining stand observed the prisoner se-
crete 11 neck-chain, which she had taken from the

stand, and had been examining for some time. The
prisoner was then given into custody ; and on being
searched in a private room by the female house-
keeper of the establishment, the chain was found in

her possesion, as were also a pair of ear-rings, two
silver thimbles, and a cork-screw, all of which ar-

tides belonged to the owner of the same stand that
the chain had been taken from, so that it appeared
the prisoner on each of her three visits to the stand
contrived to secrete something.
The prisoner, who seemed much affected at the
shameful situation in which her dishonesty had
placed her, said in reply to the magistrate, that she
had nothing to urge in her defence, for that she
could not deny but that she had taken the articles
found upon her.

In answer to other questions from the magistrate,
she said that she was a perfect stranger in London,
having neither friends nor acduai►rtances here, and
that she has only been in town about a fortnight
from Hertfordshire, where she had been in service

for upwards of two years. She is a native, she said,
of Brecknockshire, where her parents and friends
reside.

Mr. Allen, jun., who attended as solicitor for Mr.
lrotter, the proprietor of the bazaar, said that it was
with great reluctance Mr. Trotter determined to
prosecute in this case, but the extensive depredations
of this nature that were daily practised in the Ba-
zaar rendered it absolutely necessary for the protec-
tion of the property of the stand-owners to make
some examples, and it was Mr. Trotter's determine.

tiOn now to prosecute in future every person tha
should be detected in this species of robbery.
The plisotter was then fully committed for trial.

Another of those painful instances of destitution

that present themselves so frequently of late, was
brought under the notice of the Magistrates of this
office.

It was an application by the Baroness d'Assirt,
with her three orphan children, all of very tender
age, for parish relief from the authorities of St.
Gecrge's, Hanover-square. There was no opposi-
tion whatever on the part of the parish to afford
the unhappy lady the relief she sought for, beyond
the neceiSary legal form of having her sworn before
a Magistral-e as to her claim to a settlement in that
parish, and this- form ,having been complied with,
the overseers immediately undertook to provide sus-
tenance for the wretched family. The husband of
this destitute lady was Baron d'Assig, a very gal-
lant officer belonging► to the King's German Legion,
hilt who has recently died, leaving his widow and
orphan infants mithout any other provision than the
shelter of a parish workhouse.
