.SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday Ann Barrett, a repulsive looking wcman, was
brought before Mr. Traill for re-examination, charged with
robbing a Mr. William Boughton, of Maidstone, of two sove-
reigns, under the following circumstances
The complainant stated that he was a stranger in town, and
that soon after his arrival, on Thursday last, he met the pri-
soner in Farringdon-street, and that under the supposition that
she was a servant who had just left her situation, he consented
to take a walk with her. She escorted him over one of the
bridges, and as they were rambling along she made a full stop
at a linendraper's window, which exhibited a rich display of
goods. Having entered the shop, she took a particular fancy
to a shawl, and by this time she had so far ingratiated herself
into the good graces of complainant, that he consented to be-
come a purchaser for her of the article she set her heart upon.
Subsequently to the purchase they proceeded to a coffee-house,
and having partaken of refreshment they retired to bed, having
passed as man and wife, complainant depositing his trousers,
containing five sovereigns, under the pillow, and also taking
the precaution of securing the room door by locking it,
In the morning, however, when he awoke, he found his
trousers had been removed, and on examination discovered
that two sovereigns had been taken. Surprised at the disco-
very, he accused the prisoner of having been at his pockets, a
charge which she denied, remarking to him that it was proba-
ble some person had entered the room when they were asleep,
and possessed themselves of the money. He, however, said
that such a circumstance could not have taken place, as the
door was found locked precisely as he had left it on their retir-
ing to bed. This fact made no impression on the prisoner,
who still avowed her innocence, and they left the house to-
gether, and on his meeting the first policeman he gave her into
custody. The policeman examined the prisoner's pockets, and
the room in which the parties had slept had also undergone a
search, but the money was not to be found, The complainant
added that he was satisfied the prisoner had robbed him, al-
though the money was not found, and he said she had sufficient
opportunity of throwing away the two sovereigns as they were
going along after leaving the house.
Mr. Taarr.L, as the complainant was as confident of the fact
of his having been robbed by the prisoner, asked him whether
he wished to take the case before a jury ?
The complainant answered in the affirmative, and the pri-
soner was accordingly committed.

TRAORDINARY CU RE BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PI LLS. —Tatton, Southampton, Feb. 9th, 1844.—Mr. Hol-
loway, Sir—The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonder-
ful core of a cancer or abscess of twelve years' standing in my
wife's breast. In the latter part of the time eleven wounds
were open at once. The faculty declared the case was past
cure. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your

pills and ointment, which in a short space of time made the
breast as sound and as well as ever it was in her life, and this
after every other means had failed.—(Signed) Richard Bull,
boot maker.

A MAYOR COUNTERFEITING A ALAN-SERVANT.—
The Mayor of Windsor, Thomas Clarke, Esq., was placed in a
very unpleasant situation, a few days since, in his journey
from that town to Southampton, accompanied by his daughter,
a young lady about twenty years of age. On his arrival at
the Farnborough station from Windsor, he proceeded thence to
Southampton by one of the fast trains, by which only first-
class passengers are conveyed, a limited number of servants
only being permitted to travel by these trains, for whom ac-
commodation is afforded at second-class fares. Mr. Clarke
placed his daughter alone in a first-class carriage, and took a
ticket for himself as a servant, thereby saving 35., and seated
himself in a carriage exclusively devoted to that class. Shortly
after the train had left the Farnborough station, it was dis-
covered that instead of Mr. Clarke being the lady's servant,
he was no less a personage than the Mayor of Windsor. This
extraordinary fact was instantly, by means of the electric tele-
graph, communicated to the railway authorities at the
Southampton terminus, where, Olson the Mayor's arrival, he
was ushered into a private room and charged with basing tra-
velled as a servant to the young lady who was with him, when
in reality be was her own father. He was made to pay the
difference in the fair which he had saved by the ruse he had
practised, and very politely told that he had rendered him-
self liable to be fined 40s. The money was paid and the
Mayor and his daughter.pursued their ourney to the Isle of
Wight.

TN E CROPS.—Harvesting has been commenced in
this vicinity, and haymaking has progressed. On Sunday we
saw some hay being turned, which was ready for making a
month or five weeks ago, had the weather permitted the opera-
tion. It is, of course, greatly .discoloured, and deprived of
sweetness. Sunday, being a drying day, gave a spur to the
reaper, and a great quantity of corn fell on Monday; but on
Tuesday, thelfields were deluged with heavy rains—succeeded
yesterday by sunshine and fine drying winds, which, if conti-
nued a few days, would prove of inestimable value. The
disease in the potato crop is increasing.—Dever Chivnicle.
