justice, but without effect. I have ken baffled in
all my endeavours, and met with one subterfuge or
another.

A Parishioner—Our object is to see the accounts
themselves, in order that we may be satisfied that
the money which we pay is properly expended.
Mr. MlNstium,—And when you require this in-
spection, you are shown a book which contains what
may be certainly " a just and true" account, but
certainly not a..."yerfect" one.

Mr. Penn—l deny that it is " just, true, or per-
fect," because I am ready to prove that several
sums entered in that book for specific purposes were
applied in a very different manner.
Mr. HALLS—I hope I am not understood as
sanctioning in any manner any act, on the part of
the parish officers, which tends to withhold from the
parishioners at large what they very naturally con.
ceive to be their right. All I contend for is, that
let the overseers have acted right or wrong, they
bare done all the law enjoins them to do, and we
have no power to fine them.
Mr. MlNsuuLL—Are you aware of the 14th sec-
tion of the Act ?

Mr. HALLs—Yes; but the overseers, in sub-
mitting their accounts to two Justices, by whom
they were subsequently passed, are exempted in my
opinion from future consequences. Even suppose
they had committed a wrong, we are too late now
to set them right.
Mr. Fenn--Then I am to understand, Mr. Halls,
you refuse to proceed.
Mr. HALLS—Most certainly, and for the reasons
I have stated.
A Parishioner—Then there is neither law nor
justice for us poor parishioners.
Mr. Haus—Yes, you have the law open to you.

- The two female prisoners said nothing in their
defence : but the youngest repeated her assertion
that she was instigated to the robbery by the prisoner
Phillips, who was himself also the principal in cony

Phillips positively denied this statement, or the
he knew any thing of the robbery ; but in his answers
to several close questions put to him by Mr. Mavis'
mare, the brother of his master, who attended the
examination, his variations and attempts at explanr
tion were by no means deemed tatisfdctory either 4,
Mr. Maenamara or the Magistrate; and, under all
the circumstances, he was remanded for anothee

Mr. MINSHULL—But I understamd that Mr. Penn
has not means to go to law, and he therefore
adopted this course as the simple. 4 and the cheapest.

to take their trials,—the youngest for the robberit
and the old woman for receiving the property'.
knowing it to have been stolen,—and Lady Bentinclt
was bound over to prosecute.

Mr. MiNsuuLL—There is now an end of the
matter; yet I cannot help repeating my firm convic-
tion that I am right in this opinion which I formed,
and which I retain as strongly as ever.
Mr. Fenn—l certainly cannot but lament this
result.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday Wm. Hogg was brought up by Ivimit
the officer, before Mr. WIIITRi charged with steal*
log a box-cost from the carriage of the Hon. Mir
Fox, of Kensington, at the King's Theatre, on the
previous evening.

Mr. HALLS—But you need not yet despair; Mr.
Minshull, perhaps, may yet meet with some Magis-
trate to join him in opinion.
Mr. 11.11Ns1tum.—I assure you, Mr. Halls, that it
was never my intention to canvass the opinion of
any Magistrate upon this or any other question.
Mr. HALLS—I do not mean that, I assure you,
Mr. Minshull. _

It appeared from the evidence that the thieve
have adopted a new plan of stealing coats, &c., from
the carriages of the nobility and others at the dilfe
rent theatres in waiting, which is simply this
They rub a iittle mud on the back panels of the car'
riage, when one of the gang goes up to the coach..
man on the box, and informs him that the back panel
is broken in. The coachman, alarmed, instantlf
jumps from the box, and runs behind the carriage,
where he sees the mud, and naturally thinks the
carriage has sustained some injury. In the mean
time another thief carries off the coats from the box.
Innumerable have been the instances lately of car'
riages being robbed in this manner at the theatres.
The prisoner was detected in the act by the officer/
and was fully committed for trial.

Mr. MINSIIULL—My motives, I trust, are per-
fectly independent. I know neither of the con-
tending parties beyond seeing them before me, and
only wish to do justice between both. I certainly
felt strongly upon this question, and could wish to
see it otherwise disposed of.
Mr. HAW—And, for my own part, I beg to
state, that I also am unacquainted with the parties,
and have no interest one way or another. The only
person I know, whose name has been mixed up in
the business, is my worthy colleague (Sir R. Bit.-
nie); and all I say of him is this, that had I been
in his place, I never would have sanctioned the pass-
ing of these accounts in the manlier he hat done.
Mr. Fenn—Then am I to understand that Mr.
Halls is decided.
Mr. lIALLs—I certainly am, for the reasons I
have stated. If you wish, however, to ask my
opinion upon the merits of the question, I would
answer, that you ought to have access to every
voucher, not as a favour, but as a right.
After some further observations Mr. Fenn
thanked the Magistrates for the attention they
had shown him, and then retired, accompanied by
his friends.

At A 11LBORO U GILSTREET.
Yesterday William Phillips, Ann Delany, anti
Bridget Delany, mother and daughter, three prison-
ers, who have been in custody some days, on a
charge of having been concerned in an extensive
robbery committed at the house of Lady Charles
Ilentinek, No. 1, North-row, Park-lane, were brought
before Mr. CONANT, the sitting magistrate, for re-
examination.

Lady Bentinck, who was accompanied to the
office by Mr. Littleton, M.P., and other friends,
being sworn, deposed that in February last, she had
occasion to go out of town, leaving her house in
charge of the prisoner Bridget Delany, who had
been a short time in her service, and with instruc-
tions to her agent to let the house during her ab•
settee, furnished as it was, to any respectable tenant
that he might approve of. Before quitting town
she looked over all her drawers, and which she in-
tended should remain locked during her absence,
and, amongst other places of security, she examined
a cabinet which contained some of her jewels, and
then saw and left safe in it a gold watch and appen-
dages worth upwards of 100 guineas, several
brooches, several topaz and diamond ornaments, and
various other articles of value. On the 2d of this
month, she returned to town and took possession of
her house, which during her absence had, it seemed,
been let to a single gentleman named Macnamara,
residing at Llangoed Castle, in North Wales ; and
on her again examining the cabinet above alluded
to, she found that, although it was still locked, it
had been forced open and all its contents abstracted
and carried off: and she found also, that the prisoner,
Bridget Delany, who had been left in charge of the
house, and had continued in it while occupied by
Mr. Macnamara, had quitted it suddenly, only two
days before her ladyship's return to town. On this
discovery she (Lady Bentinck) sent for her agent
who had let the house, and he employed Goddard
the officer to investigate the matter.
Goddard said, that on going to Lady Bentinck's
house, he found that not only the cabinet in ques-
tion, but the wine-cellar and several other places
had been broken open and robbed, and his suspicion
at once falling upon the prisoner, Bridget Delany,
who had so abruptly quitted the house, he used
every effort to trace out her retreat, and at last dis-
covered that she was residing with her mother in a
place called Johnson's-court, near the New-road, and
after two or three ineffectual visits there, he at last
found her. On charging her with the robbery, she
at first denied it, but at last, being urged upon the
subject, she admitted that she had taken some of
the things missed, but said, that the cabinet had
been forced open by the prisoner, William Phillips,
the footman of Mr. Macnamara, who had occupied
the house, and that Phillips told her to. take all the
things except the watch, and that Lady Bentinck
would never miss them on her return. On being
further asked whatshe had done with the things
she took, she said that she had given them to her
mother, who still had the greater part of them in
her possession, and that other parts of them had
been pawned. Having thus questioned the girl
apart from her mother, he then confronted her with
the obi woman, the other prisoner, Ann Delany, and
asked the latter where the property was that had
been given to her by her daughter, and which she
admitted having stolen from Lady Bentinck's house,
upon which the old woman, clinching her fist in a
threatening manner at the daughter, said to her,
" Whatever you tell, say nothing against William."
But the daughter replied that the caution came too
late, for that she had already told all. Notwith•
standing this, the old woman for some time denied
that she had any of the property, or that her daugh..
ter had given her any. But on the latter repeating
what she had already told to him (Goddard), and
saying that it was now useless to attempt to conceal
matters, the old woman led him down into a
kitchen, and after unlocking three separate doors
that opened to a coal cellar, she took out from under
a heap of coals the box now produced, containing
the topaz and diamond ornaments, neck-chains, &c.
He then searched further through the house, and
found the pair of gold shoe-buckles, four pair of
trousers, seven waistcoats, five pair of pantaloons,
and the several other articles of wearing apparel
produced. He next questioned the taco female pri-
soners about the man William Phillips, and after PAINTED and PUBLISHED by MURDO YOUNO, at tk
some hesitation they admitted that he had slept Ouzel, 112, STRAND, LAMM • •
