HATTON-GARDEi.

An elderly female, well known to the police of,
the metropolis, ‘vho passed tinder the various names
of Fosg, Edwards, Lloyd, Jones, Anderson, &c., and
the means of whose subsistence are constantly ob-
tained under false pretences and supplied by swind-
ling, was_ yesterday brought belore the, sitting Ma-
2-istrate, Mr. ROGERS, from one of the watch-houses,
charged as under : _ _

It appeared that on Thursday afternoon this Mrs.
Sarah Foss, &c., who is generally attired very fa-
shionably, and under this exterior, joined with insi-
nuating manners, the more easily practises upon the
unsuspecting credulity of those whom she intends
shall be made the dupes of her artifice, accompanied
by a female servant, went to a private house, No.
20, Castle-street, Oxford-street, and pretending that
she had arrived from Bath, engaged two furnished
apartments at two guineas a week, and immediately
calling fur pen, ink, and paper, wrote what she pre-
teMded to be a note to the coach-office for her lug-
gage, and. sent it by her own servant.: In the course
of the evening she went out, and applying to several
tradesmen and shopkeepers in- the neighbourhood of
Castle-street, gave orders for a variety of articles of
wearing apparel, spirits, provisions, Sc.e., to be sent
to her lodgings, and which orders were for the most
part executed. A peculiarity of manner, however,
soon excited some suspicions £l5 taller real character
in the breast of her landlady, and accordingly-when
she and the female who attended her next went cut
together, they were watched, and their steps tracked
into a hodse somewhere in the neighbourhood of
Cromer-street, Somers-town. Here she was taken
into custody, charged with obtaining the above fur-
nished apartments under false pretences, and, what
is something remarkable, the entire of the property,
ordered by her. from the various tradesmen above
alluded to, to be sent to Castle-street, was here
found deposited. •
She, was ordered for re-examination on W7ednes-
day next.
T. Sullivan t:•as charged on suspicion with rob-
bing Mr. William Fountain, wine and brandy mer-
chant, Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, of his gold
watch and appendages, value 40 guineas.

Mr. Fountain stated, that on Thursday afternoon,
between five and six o'clock, he was passing the
corner of Brook-street, Holborn, When three fellows
rushed upon him, one of whom suddenly grasped
tlic; clon of his watch, and having succeeded in
drawing the watch put
.of his fob, the three fellows
ran-. off in the direction of Brook's-market. He
(Mr. Fountain) pursued the fellow who had robbed
him through Bell-court into Gray's Inn-lane, where
he overtook and seized him ; but at this moment he
contrived to deliver the watch over to another of his
associates, who stood by, whom he (Mr.'Fonntain)
also immediately seized hold of, but, after a violent
struggle, both the fellows got away, and succeeded
in taking the watch with theni.

Waddington, one of the officers, stated, that npon
receiving information of the robbery, and a descrip-
tion of the persons of the tobbcrs, he made inquiries
after them, the result of which was, that he under-
stood the prisoner was seen to have the watch in his
possession:

The prisoner denied the charge; but said, that
when the robbery took place, he was present, and
assisted the gentleman in the pursuit of the fellows
who had robbed him.

Mr. Fountain could not identify the prisoner as
being one of the party. It was dark -at the time,
and a great number of persons were passing in the
street. But after a lapse of three quarters of an
hour, the prisoner did address him in Gray's-inn-
lane, during which time he might, if he really had
any in the robbery, have changed his clothes,
for he did not appear in the dress of any of those
who had committed the fact.
There were some inconsistencies in the defence of
the prisoner, and he was remanded till Wednesday.

In a field at Tilshead, several white larks may
he been daily.—Devizes Gazette.

The other night an unfortunate female, whilst
preambulating near Westminster Abbey, met with a per-
son whom she entreated to accompany her home to her
lodgings for the night; to which he at length acceded.
They entered into coevcrsation, and, in a very short time,
the female uttered a loud shriek, and fell senseless on the
pavement. The gallant was in the utmost consternation'
to know the cause, and. the watchman, hearing a noise,
ran to the spot, when he found the unfortunate girl re-
covering from her surprise, and exclaiming, " Oh, God,
my brother." He instantly recognized Lis sister, and it is
impossible to describe the scene that ensued. The un-
fortunate girl, whose name we forbear to mention, be-
came almost frantic at the discovery, • Her brother was
from Yorkshire, and she had not seen him for many year,,
and be thought her long since.numbered with the dead.
A crowd soon assembled, but the brother conveyed his un-
happy sister from the curiosity of the he,

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London _New Price Current of Friday.)
SUGAR.—The demand for Sugars has been brisk
and extensive; the average sales are above 1,000
hhds. each day ; the prices of Sugar from .585. and
upwards are rather higher on account of the scar-
city of the good descriptions ; there has been also
an improvement in the request for the brown quali-
ties, but in the latter there is no improvement, as
the holders meet the demand freely, on account of
their beirig so long neglected. In Refined goods
there is a general improvement, both in the demand
and in the prices ; the improvement is particularly
in fine goods, lately so much neglected. The
quantity of pimps at market is inconsiderable, and
the improvement of Is. per cwt. has been fully
maintained. The market this afternoon is very firm.
Bastards are higher, and in request.
COFPLE.—The Coffee market is improving ; the
public sale of 1600 bags Brazils on Wednesday sold,
ord. at 3.15. 4d., good ord. 375. a 375. 6d. since
which the favourable intelligeece by the Planders
mail, and the general wish to purchase Coffee occa-
sioned a premium- of Is. per cwt. en the prices of
the public sale; the request for Coffee is more ge-
neral and extensive ; transactions would immediately
fallow if the holders would accept the former prices,
but they are firm, and few sellers appear. There
we,e no public sales of Coffee this forenoon; the
inquiries by private contract appear increasing. and
extensive transactions would take place, but the
holders evince no inclination to sell at the present
currency ; some good ord. St. Domingo has been sold
at 365. 6tl. a 375.

FOREIGN SUGAR.—The stocks of Brazil and Ha-
vannah Sugar increase.; of the latter :::,000 chests
are lately arrived, but no sales of Foreign Sugar have
yet taken place.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—There are no sales of East
India Sugars to report.
Rum, 13RANDV, AND HOLLANDS.—The sales of
Rum continue limited to small parcels for shipment;
there is no alteration in the prices. Brandy and
Geneva continue neglected.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for
Tallow has been general and extensive; the holders
are very firm, on account of the short import, and
the home suppl: ':.eing much more limited there had
been generally anticipated. In Hemp or Flax there
is no material alteration.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J.N. 15.
HALTGN, CLERK, fi. COVE, CLBRK.

Mr. GEoRGP opened the pleadings. The action
was brought to recover the value of the tithes, cry'
luments, and profits of the rectory of Woolhansptoo•
in Berkshire, from July, 1825, to February, 185.7,
which, as alleged, the defendant had wrongful',
received and applied to him own use. The defendant
had preded the general issue, and a set-off for
‘rorl; and labour, in preaching and celebrating divine
service in the parish church of Niroolhemptori.
The SOLIetToR-GENURAL stated the plaintifr6
case. The plaintiff, the Rev. Lancelot Mi:es Haltevs
had, in J.;y, 1825, been presented to the rector! d
Woolhampton, which was at that time void by the
cession of the defendant, who had accepted the
carage of Brimpton, in Berkshire, but had wrong-
fully kept the plaintiff out of possession of his rec-
tory until Felmtery, 1827. The learned counsel
entered into e history of the succession to the
patronage of the living from the year 1762 to
1825, when the mother of the plaintiff presented
him to it, it being then voidable by the statute
of Henry VIII., by which it was eneeted, that
if an incumbent took a second living of mord
than $l. value in the King's 'woks, such living
should be void ; but if less than that sum, then it
was only voidable. The defendant having accepted
the vicarage of Brimpton, Mrs. Helton presented her
son, the plaintiff, to the rectory of Woolharripten,
The bishop of the diocess, however, refused to pro-
ceed with the form of induction so as to complete
the plaintiff's title, and a write of quare impedit wass
sued out against the bishop, and the present defend-
ant, who, however, did not submit to it until Fe-
bruHry, 1827. The defendant having held (wet
from Ji ly, 1825, to February, 1827, and wrongful',
keit the plaintiff out of possession, there could be
no doub: that the latter was entitled to the profit'-'
and emoluments of the living during the whole of
that period.
The Learned Cousteel then proceeded to give
evidence the will of Nirin Deane, by which the jiv
ing was entailed on John Deane; also the proeeed-
ing4 in the action of quote halm-lit, and the presenta-
tion, institution, and induction of the plaintiff upoo
the cession of the defendant.

Sir J. SCARIETT (with whom was Mr. Talfonxd).
addressed the Jury at soma length for thedefendaut,
after which the Jury r.qurned 23 verdict for die plain'
.tiff to the amount of :•?:30/.
