A woman was brought before E. Glatirrvrus, Esq. by a sew
policeman charged with attempting to drown herself in the Riot's
Canal on Wednesday evening. With great reluctance she stated
that her name vu Ellen ifiashigh Evans, but would not say
where she lived s that she bad been under the protection of a rite?.
chant in the city, but refused to give his name or address. She also
said she had borne him eleven children, six of whom were living,
and having learnt within these few days that he had formed an at.
tschment to another lady, her existence had become intolerable
to her, and she had therefore formed the resolution of destroying
herself.
Mr. Gamma said, that under these circumstances, she muu
be taken proper cars of, until further inquiries could be made
about her.

A young man in fashionide attire, and of rather ?genteel ap.
who gave his name Williams Joon, was brought before
stdrl7.lll uing Magstrate, charged with the following suds.
dacious s
It appeared that about seven o'clock on the previous evening, the
=called at the house of Lady Strong, in Grafton.street,
met, and inquired of the @errant who opened the door to
him, if Lady Strong was at home ? The servant replied in the afEr.
make, but said she was then engaged: upon which the prisoner
said, that, however, she would see him, as he wished to speak to her
Ladyship on some very urgent business, and requested the servant
to take up his name, which be gave as Mr. Grant. The servant
supposing that it was some gentleman who really had some press.
kg business with her Ladyship, was proceeding up stairs to the
drawing-room, to annouoce Mr. Grant's name, when, as he had al.
most got to the landing.Oam, he thought he heard a jingling noise,
as if of silver, in the hal4 and on looking down over the bannisters,
be saw the prisoner coming out of the parlour, and making towards
the street door with great speed. The servant then ran down and
detained the prisoner, until a police constable was sent for, who on
searching him, found in his pocket a number of silver spoons, and
other ankles of plate, that he had taken from the sideboard in the
parlour.
When the prisoner was searched there was also found on him
list of subscribers to a no doubt pretended charitable fund for the
relief of a person named Grant, stated to be in great distress ; and
amongst the names in the list, appeared that of Lord Stowell, who
resides in the very next house to Lady Strong, as a subscriber of
fiveguineas.
Clements, the officer, who had charge of the prisoner, waited on
Lord Stowell with the list, to know if his lordship knew anything
of the prisoner • but his lordship, after looking over his book of
charitable donations, found that there was no such names es Gram
or Jones fa It; and, therefore, that be could not have subscribed as
2r=ted la the prisoner's list, as his lordship kept an account of
les disbursed in that way.
The prisoner declined giving any explanation either of the letter
or of the subscription ; and he also refused to tell where he re.
sided. lie was, be said, a gentleman by birth and education, and
by profession be was an artist; and for having been led, he said,
into the commission of the Wince charged against him, and, per.
haps, many others of a muse kind, he was indebted to one whom it
was not necessary to name ; but the fault did not entirely rest with
himself.

The Magistrate said, that the present charge was quite dear
egoist the Omar, but still it would be advisable to remand him,
as raw if the awe became known, it might lead to some (usher
dualities of the plorme's num
The prisoner was asesangly remanded to a future day.
