THE CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING AGAINST SIR JOHN
OSBORN'S DAUGHTER.—Yesterday, shortly after the dis-
posal of the night charges, an elderly gentlemen entered
the Court, by the private door, and addressed Mr. Bond
on the subject of the charge of shoplifting preferred
against Miss Elizabeth Osborn, the daughter of Sir
John Osborn, on Saturday last, a full report of which
appeared in our last.
The gentleman, who represented himself to be an old
friend of the lady's family, expressed himself apprehen-
sive that her friends were not acquainted with her unfor-
tunate situation.

Mr. BOND called the clerk, and inquired whether the
lady had had any communication with her friends ?
The second clerk replied, that the prisoner had
written two letters, one of which was addressed to Lady
Oborn, and the other to a friend. They had been given
to a messenger to convey immediately, and there was no
doubt that they had been receiNed, as he had been in-
formed that a lady and gentleman, who were stated to
be Sit John and Lady Osborn, accompanied by a friend,
had come to the office in their carriage, at a very late
hour on Saturday night, and had inquired the address of
Mr. Burrell, the sitting magistrate.
The gentleman inquired whether there was any op-
portunity of alleviating the lady's condition ?
Mr. Bonn observed that he was not acquainted with
the regulations of the prison. But if magistrates or go-
vernors of prisons were to endeavour to ameliorate the
condition of a respectable person they would be imme-
diately assailed on all sides, for making distinctions
between the rich and poor.
After a slight pause, the gentleman admitted that
to a certain extent such distinctions were improper. He
deeply regretted the situation in which the lady was
placed ; it was a most painful one for her family. He
understood that she had been found with some groats,
rice, and other things upon her ?
The clerk said that such was the fact.

The gentleman said he had no doubt that she had pur-
chased those things to give to some poor family. She
was in the habit of visiting the poor and relieving them.
The gentleman, after observing that the accused was
strange in her manners, inquired the way to Tothill-
fields prison, and, on being directed, observed that he
would go there at once. It was, he repeated, a very
painful and distressing affair.
The gentlemen then left the Court, and on his return,
in about three quarters of an hour, informed the magis-
trate that Lady Osborn and the professional adviser of
the family were with Miss Osborn, and that Mr. Hum-
phries had been engaged to conduct the defence.
Mr. BOND thought she was in vory good hands.
The gentlemen then withirew.
We understand that Lady Osborn, who is, as may be
conceived, in a very di.:tressed state, was with her
daughter for some hours yesterday, at the prison.
Much excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of
the Court during the day with respect to this ease, and
it appeared to be the general impression that some at-
tempt would be made to procure the lady's liberation on
bail. Mr. Burrell came to the Court in the course of the
afternoon, and was engaged for some time in private
conversation with Mr. Bond and the clerks ; but no ap-
plication was made to him here on the subject of bail.
Whether a request of that nature has ben made to him
elsewhere, it is of course impossible for us to say,

MACKINTOSH OF MACKINTOSIL—The birth of a
daughter and heiress to the present respected represen-
tative of this ancient family has diffused great satisfac-
tion and rejoicing in the north.—At Inverness, imme-
diately on the arrival of the news, it as resolved to
commemorate the event that day, by a public dinner in
the Caledonian llotel. Parties came forward with the
utmost alacrity, and, notwithstanding the shortness of
time for preparation, an excellent dinner was provided.
The chair was taken by C. Mackintosh, Esq., of Abe-
rarder, and Colonel Mackintosh, of Farr, acted as croupier.
The infant heiress is the first lineal descendant in the
line of the chiefs of Mackintosh since the year 1704,
when ',Killian, the twenti.sth chief; succeeded to his
father. For more then a century cousins have
succeeding cousins, nephews their uncles, 4Q,—Cak-

The memorial signed by Messrs. Rothschild, Messrs.

The memorial was discussed at great length, IT
we are informed that it was resolved to direct the
