UNION-lIAL!..

Yesterday a respectable-looking man, named
Eltrce, who seemed to be labouring under much
agitation of mind, applied for the intcif_rence of the
Magistrate, in compelling a female then in custody,
and whom he strongly suspected of enticing his
daughter, a young girl of Mem years of age, from
her home, to tusclose the place of her present
ecncealment.

The complainant stated, that the woman in
(`custody, who was a dress-maker, hail been engaged at
his house to asist in making up dresses for the
family. His daughter, a fluid of fifteen, had been
engaged during the time in rendering her assistance,
and had formed a very close ietimacy with the per-
-3011 now complained of, with whom she lied been in
daily intercourse for some length of time. A few
days ago, however, his daughter, in his absence,
left home by steahh, and after her departure it was
discovered that she had not only I aken away with
her every particle of dress belonging to her, but had
also carried off several articles of other members of
his family. He institnted an immediate inquiry, in
order to ascertain whither she lied gone, end dis-
covered that the female engaged at the house and
his daughter had left the place together, the former
having taken apartments at which they were both
living together. Mr. Eltree added, that he strongly
suspected his unfortunate daughter was by this time
rained, for he was informed that she had been seen
in the neighbourhood of Astley's Theatre with
gentleman. Her abandonment of home and family,
he was convinced, was at the instigation of the fe-
male r. ith whom she had been living.
The female alluded to, who wore a fashionable
pink silk bonnet, and dress to conespend, was asked
by the Magistrate whether she was dispose.' to re-
veal where Mr. Eltree's daughter was concealed ?
She admitted that the young lady left home with
her, and that they afterwards lodged together at the
male in Stangate street, but
declared
tilolk ueses uc:tf:t t respectable
s!
step, given
Edirne no encouragementhaving,ofher towno
accord, quitted the house of her parents, alleging as
a reason that she did not feel comfortable thee.
Tinder such circumstances she had given her refuge
at her lodgings, but could declare most solemnly
that they had been visi•ed by no human bring,
either male or female, and had both supported them-
selves since by dress-making.
Mr. CHAMBERS desired her to disclose where the
young lady wa,, HOW to be found, for it was natural
enough to suspect that she must be in possession
of the secret, having already admitted that they ha:l
been living together since the foolish girl had ab-
sconded from home.

In reply to this question, the woman declared that
she was ignorant of what had become of Miss Eltree
since she left her lodgings.

A female, residing in Stangate-street, who des-
cribed herself an officer's widow, stated that the
female above alluded to, and a young lady, whom
the believed to be Miss Eltree, had been living for
the last few days at her house, and from the. com-
mencement of the time had led a most retired life,
never either going out or seeing persons of any des-
cription. She added, that within the last day or
two one of them, she believed Miss Eltree, had
abruptly quitted the house, but whither she had
gone she bad no means of discovering.
Mr. CHAMBERS, addressing Mr. Eltree, lamented
that he could render him no assistance in re7overing
his daughter, who had abandoned her home. He
(tie Magistrate) would not be justified ill detaiaing
the woman who he suspected was chiefly instru-
mental in decoying away so young a creature from
her home, and should therefore discharge her.
The Magistrate privatrly advised Mr. Eltree to
follow the woman unperceived, and by that means
he might yet be enabled to find the house at which
his daughter remained concealed.
Mr. Eltree followed the Magistrate's directions,
but the result was not known at the office yesterday.

Two young fellows, named °sward and Farn-
ham, medical students, were charged with creating
a disturbance in the burrey Theatre, and with hav-
ing committed a violent assault on a Mr. Wood, who,
however, did not appear against his assailants.
The Magistrate fined them 30s. each, and directed
their clubs to be destroyed.

Friday, on the lands of Skewer, near New-
pirt, comity of Tipperary, a party of Mr. \Vat. FREWEN'S
tenantry rescued a distress of cattle se zed by him far rent,
and stabbed. one of the bailiffs with a pitchfork. The)
then threatened destruction to any one who would dare to
levy a distress on the lands, though large arrears of rent
are owing to Mr. FalwEN.—Limirich Chronicle.
