VIOLENT ASSAULT AND Da difilEr ODTRAGR.—A
'Consequence of the outrage ornagnitted upon Ker.
garet West, a servant of Mr., Lumleyof Holborn, bit
some men belonging to alivery stable, in Duke-streeti
Lincoln's Inn-fields, she is now considered in a an.:
gerous state. Her mother and friends applied to eel
veral surgeons to attend her, who refused, assigning''
as a reason that it was extremely inconvenient to at-
tend at the trial,. This information, being given to
GnsuaNt, the Sitting Magistrate at Bow-street,
on Wednesday, he requested Mr. Andrewsa Gen.
tleman of well-known ability,. to attend the girl, which
be accordingly did;.
Yesterday, hew Dewberry, the coachanan in cus-
tody, charged with being one of the men who violated
her person, was brought to Bow-street for re-exami-
nation.
MT. Fisher, an assistant to Mr. Andrews, attended,
and stated, that he had examined Margaret West, on
Wednesday evening and yesterday morning. The
violent treatment she had received produced muck
inflammation and fever, and she was otherwise in such
A bad state as to render it highly imprudent for her to
attend the office. The prisoner was, in consequence,
remanded to prison.
Mr. READ, the Sitting Magistrate, gave directions
for Mr. Andrews. to continue to attend the girl.
We understand the prisoner has .a 'wife and four
children k he is coachman to Mr. Mills. • One of the
other fellows concerned in this horrid act has abscon-
ded, and, by the advice of his father, has entered on
board a man of war. The girl is a very virtuous,
hard-working, industrious gill, and hears au irre;
proachable character,
HORSE STEALIN-h.—Yesterclay William Mart:,
notorious and well-known character, was brought up
to Union Hall, charged with stealing a horse, the
property of Robert Rigg, in Whitechapel Parks
by whose statement it appeared, that about three
weeks ago he went to Smithfield, and ther purchased
a horse in presence of the Prisoner, who, after he had
bought it, informed him that ho had been taken in by
the seller, and that the horse was not worth the money
he had giveni for it ; and at the same time told him,
if he would meet him the following day at St.Qcorge's
Coffee-house, in Suffolk-street, Borough, he then
should introduce a person to him who in all probabi-
lity would give him the money he had paid for it ;
and the next morning he went according to appoint-
ment, where he met the prisoner and another man
.;
and whilst he was about to bargain with thC person,
Marns left them in the room, and after waiting for
some time, expecting'his return, he went to the door,
and found that his horse, as well as the Prisoner, were
gone, and that he verily believed he had stolen it ;
in consequence of which the Prisoner was committed
for future examination.
FEMALE SwINnLER.—A young woman, seemingly
about 20 years of age, whose address and personal
qualities are suitable to her profession, has within
these few days been defrauding the credulous trades-
people in various parts of Westminster of their
goods, under the assumed names of Miss Williams
and Miss Jones. Information has been received at
the Police Offices of various frattils committed by her
on different people.
