WORSHIP-STREET.—ESCAPE or a Paisowea.—
Yesterday, as the businesi of the office was about to close,
and the Sitting Magistrate for the day, Mr. Broughton,
was quitting the bench, Robert Lock, u headhorough of St.
Luke's parish, appeared before him, and stated that a pri-
soner given into his custody on Friday night, when he sat
as night constable at the watch-house in Bunhill-row, had
escaped.
Mr. BROUGuroN—Escaped ! In what manner ? Lock :
I don't know, your Worship. He was brought in by
Harrison, my brother officer, on a charge of felony, and 1
fastened him into a cell, after I had 'earthed him, and taken
this small skeleton key from him. , • .
Mr. Baouotarox asked in what way the place was se-
cured? Lock replied, that the place was very securely
bolted, and a strong bar across the door when he left it;
but there was no padlock on it.
Mr. BROUGHTON—How is it, Mr. Garton, that pri-
soners so frequently escape from these watch-houses ? This
must be inquired into. Garton : There have been seven
escaped from the watch-houses about here, to my know-
some further inquiries, ordered

that Brown, the watch-house keeper, should be summoned
to attend before the Magistrates, to give an explanation of
the affair.

Michael and William Noonan, Mary, the wife of
William, and two men named Wakeman and Page, were
charged before Mr. BaouolcroN, the Noonans with com-
mitting a brutal assault on a man named Newman, in the
employ of Messrs. Deacon and Co., of Wood-street, and the
others with attempting a rescue, and assaulting thewatchman.
Newman, on his way home, between six and seven
o'clock on Sunday evening, recognized some acquaintance
engaged in a drunken brawl in the street, and contrived to
separate him from the others. This highly incensed the
Noonans, who had just turned out of some public-house,
and they fell upon Newman, whom they treated in a most
savage manner, knocking him down, kicking and trampling
his back.

The prisoners attempted to retort the assault upon New-
man, alleging that l►e was drunk at the time. Their de-
fence, however, completely failed.
The Magistrate dismissed the female with a severe repri-
mand for the disgraceful part she had acted; and ordered
the four men to find bail, and give 24 hours' notice.
MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—Sarah Walters, a good.
looking girl, about 18 years of age, was charged with
stealing two 'shirts.
On Stinday night, she asked James Fisher, a Marylehone
watchman, to let her leave a small bundle in his box while
she went farther, and told him she had been charged at
this office on Friday with stealing a sheet from her furnished
lodging.. The information excited the watchman's suspi-
cion, he examined the bundle (it contained two shirts), and
when she returned asked her some, questions, which she
answered unsatisfactorily, and be took her to, the watch-
house. _

A man, who appeared 60
,years old, but who stated
himself to be 42, claimed the shirts. He informed Mr.
Rawlinson, that when the prisoner was liberated with re-
spect to the other charge, as she bad•no place to go to, he
took her, home with him, and provided for her until Sun-
day night, when she left his place, and carried aivay the
shirts.

Mr. Raven:43°N asked this man whether he was mar-
ried, and whether he took her home as a stranger, ont of
pure compassion, as an act of charity? To which he an-
swered, " I have a wife, your Worship, and the poor girl
being quite destitute, I gave her plenty to eat and to drink,
and a comfortable lodging in the bargain."
Mr: RAWLINSON—That Was very humane, and if I un-
deistood the case, she remained with you and your wife.
froth Friday till Sunday night, and then robbed you ?
No, not with my wife she is out in service. • '
Mr. RaiviaNsoN.—Have you any childnin
Mr. Itswuttsarr.L--Now let me Ask how many beds
you have ?—One.
Mr. RAWLINSON.—Where did this girl sleep ?—With
me. _ _

Mr. RAivuxsoN.—With you ! A'nt you ashamed to
come here and talk of charity and compassion, and bring
a charge of felony against a friendless girl wham you have
seduced, although you appear old enough to be her grand-
father. Do you think there is r crime in adultery ? Have
you any sense of religion,—pray what do you profess to
be ?—I am a Church person, born and bred, and I know
I have done wrong. •
Daring this conversation 'the girl stood sobbing at the
bar. Mr. Raw 'Anson 'desired her not to cry, but answer
his.questions. It appeared that her father is dead ; her
mother is housekeeper with a family in Bath, and she
lived lately twelve mouths in one place as nursery-maid in
the city, which Mr. Rawlinson said gave her a settlement.
After telling the owner of the shirts to take them away,
and hide himself if he had any feeling of shame, Mr.
Rawlinson sent a constable with her to the parish officers
of St. Marylebone, and a request that they would see her
provided for.

THAMES POLlCE.—Yesterday, William Williams,
a rot-boy, in the employ of Mr. Wicker, of the Cock pub-
lic-house, Cock-hill, Ratcliff; was put to the bar before W.
J. Btu: mum., Esq., charged withal robbing his master of a
quantity of brandy, money, &c.,d William Clark, a
hair-dresser, in the neighhourhood, charged with receiving
the brandy, knowing it to he stolen. They were both fully
committed.
