An old woman, who has several names besides*that of Martha Smith,
was charged with having robbed a seaman, somewhat advanced in years,
of fifteen pound', which he had that day received at the India
House. The seaman told the story of the robbery in a very character-
istic manner.

When he got his wages he went along Leadenhati-street, and an old
lady twitchedhim by the Jacket and said she wanted to have a word
with Alm, but he saw she was odd, and he told her he had a wife at
home waiting for him, and ma hap the ould lady might have some-
thing to say to her. Oh, said she, you may have a wife at home,
and she ma be a beauty, but my daughter is the most beautiful
girl in all Bevis.marks. She is only sixteen years old, and she
wants to see you. This description, the seaman said, raised his
curiosity, because he wanted to see whether the young lady was as
handsome as his wife, and so away be went arm-in-arm with Mrs.
Smith but before they visited Bevis.marhs, they just stepped into
a publie-house, and tasted the various cordials with which it
abounded; so that when they reached the lodgings of Mrs. Smith,
the tar was " heavy to sleep," and having forgotten every thing about
the daughter, he laid his heed upon the lap of the mother, and wee soon
insensible to all that Was passing. When be awoke be found himself
alone, lying enithe Soar, and that his bat, which contained all his tree-
sure,lwas gone. Be bad wrapped up his three 5L notes in $ newspaper

The Loan MATCIIIIm•And is it true that you have a wife ?
The Sailor—Aye sure, and • good.un. What did I want of this
old creature ? She couldn't be answerable to me.

The Loin MaToa—And why didn't you take your wife with you
when you watt to receive your money ?
The Sailee..-Why, you see, we live in a house that has no lock to it,
and so I thought it was better for she to stay at home, because we were
to buy things to keep there when I was to rt my mosey. (Laughter.)
The Loan IlaToa--Wall„ you are old enough, at all events, to
know how to take care of yourwM, but I see you are just as bed as a
boy who was robbed the other day of lbl. by awe of a similar cha-
racter Pray, what will your wife Bar to this ?

It sneered that the moment the sailor found that be was alone, and
that his money was gone, he made a most tremendous noise, and
that ow of the °Seen of the Ward, who was passing by Bevis-marks at
I the time, ran up to the room, and found him raving about his wife sad
his old sweetheert.

The prisoner, of course, denied all knowledge of the robbery. She
bad, she said, consented to take the sailor borne with her at his sanest
request, sad as she fall asleep as well as he, she did not know what hap-
pened while she was in that state; but she found upon waking that she
had lost bee bonnet. There however happened to be no lock to her
door, any more than there was to his.
The Lain Mason ordered the prisoner to be brought utrpp for ano-
the: examination, and banded ova the sailor to the astigatlon of his
wife.
