conduct. His Lordship considered that he was evidently the in-
strument of the forger.
The case was attended by a singularly lamentable occurrence.
The boy's father is an old Greenwich out-pensioner. He had
been out of employment, and went to Greenwich on the morning
of the day on which his son was apprehended, and made a last
effort to obtain an asylum there, as an in-pensioner of the esta-
blishment, and he failed. In the morning his son had behaved
in an outrageous manner towards lain;, and, in the course of a
quarrel, thrown something at him which struck him. The feel-
ingi of the old man were much hurt by this circumstance. In
the evening, when the officers entered the house to investigate the
prisoner's statement, they were surprised to find a woman with
whom the old man cohabited as his wife, and others of the fa-
mily, in tears. It was at first thought that the misery was occa-
sioned by some news which had reached them of the son's appre-
hension, but, on investigation, it turned out that they were la-
menting the death of the old man, who had, in the course of the
afternoon, soon after his return, hung himself in a fit of despair,
attributed to the occurrence of the morning and his rejection at
the College.

GUILDHALL.— George Wate was charged by Premio Gon-
doter, an Italian, living in Shoe-lane, and carrying on the busi-
ness of a looking-glass-maker, with assaulting and ill-treating
him.—Ordered to find bail.
Elizabeth Tinlay and David Reading were charged by a per-
son of the name of Durwen, with behaving in a most indecent
manner in the street. On Saturday night last, Mr. Durwen was
going down Durham-yard, West-street, he saw the two prisoners
in the indecent situation, and he directly gave them in charge to
the watchman. The woman he knew to be a notoriously bad
character ; the young man 1w did not know.
The young man said he was drunk, and did not know what
he did.
The ALDZRMAN wished to know whether the woman had ever
been in Bridewell, and was answered in the negative. He ob-
served, it was very lucky for her that she had not ; because, if she
had ever been there, he should have had power to have sent her
to Bridewell for three months; as it was, he should send her
there for one month, anti the young man was ordered to find bail.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.—It seems that the affairs of
Mr. Long Wellesley and Mrs. Helena Bligh are not to be con-
fined exclusively to the higher Courts, for yesterday Mr. Conant
was occupied for a considerable portion of his time in hearing• a
case which immediately involved the names of those two conspicu-
ous personages. It will be recollected, that in the case of Mr.
Long Wellesley and his children, at present before the Court of
Chancery, a female named Susannah Scott, lately in the service of
Mrs. Bligh, made an affidavit as to certain circumstances strongly
bearing against the claim of Mr. Wellesley and the character of
Mrs. Bligh, and it will also be remembered that a man named
John Randal, describing himself as the coachman of Mr. Long
Wellesley, made another affidavit favourable to his master's inte-
rests in the case. Since the retiring of the female Scott from the
service of Mrs. Bligh, it appears that her clothes and other things
belonging to her have been detained at the house of Mrs. Bligh,
who refuses to let them be removed, without assigning any proper
reason for such refusal. On Monday George Scott, the husband
of the female in question, went to the house of Mrs. Bligh, Nu.
10, St. John's-wood-road, where he requested the servant who
opened the door to inform Mrs. Bligh that he wanted to see her ;
the servant, however, refused to deliver any message to her mistress
from him, while still urging hie request that Mrs. Nigh should he
informed that he wished to see her, and leave it to that lady
herself to ray whether she would comply or not, John Randal, the
coachman of Mr. LongWellealey, suddenly made his appearance from
some part of the house, and seizing Scott, thrust him neck and heels
into the street. For this treatment, Scott came to this office, and ap-
plied for redress, and a summons was issued by the Magistrate for
Randal to appear and account for his interference in Mrs. Bligh's
house and concerns. Just as the ease was about to be gone into, one of
the police officers from Marylebone Office made his appearance,
with a warrant against Scott, at the instance of Mrs. Helena
Bligh, who, it seemed, went expeditiously to Marylebene-Office,
and swore that she considered her life in danger from Scott, who
had called at her house. The officer also brought a letter from
the Magistrate, Mr. Griffith, we believe, to the sitting Magistrate
here, requesting that the whole affair, as between Scott, Randal,
and Mrs. Thigh, should be left in the hands of him, the said Mary-
lebone Magistrate; but Mr. Conant said that he saw no reason
at all why the case of Scott against Randal should be so disposed
of, but that when that was over, Scott could go with the officer to
Marylebone Office, and there meet Mrs. Nigh.
Scott now stated the circumstances of his complaint against
Randall.
Mr. CONAavT asked Scott if there was evidence besides his own
to violence used towards him by Randal.
Scott said there was a man named Mills who had accom-
panied him to Mrs. Bligh's house, but that person was not now
present.
Mr. CONANT then ordered that the case should stand over un-
til Mills should be present, and it was accordingly adjourned, and
all the parties started off to meet Mrs. Bligh before Mr. Griffith,
the Magistrate, at Rlarylebone Office. By the way, Mrs. Bligh
has a solicitor, we believe, of the name of Griffith,•
MARYLEBONE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday George Scott was
brought to the office of Mr. Hewett, the chief constable, at the
instance of Mrs. Helena Nigh. Mrs. Bligh was in attendance,
accompanied by Mr. Harmer and another gentleman. She was
dressed in the first style, and wore a tight blue silk cloak lined
throughout and trimmed with ermine, and a pink silk bonnet.—
She stated, that the defendant had broken into her house (No. $5,
Baker-street,) the other day : the housekeeper.44l received orders
not to admit him, but he forced his way into the hall, and declared
lie would not go out until he had an interview with her (Mrs.
Bligh) : his determination to remain was so resolute, that it was
necessary to send to the stables for the coachman, who by her
orders took him by the shoulders and turned him out into the

street.
Mr. Harmer requested Mrs. Bligh to make the Magistrate
acquainted with who the man was, and what he was.
He was the husband of a female who a short time since lived
with her as lady's maid, and whom she discharged for " very great
impropriety of conduct." She understood the man had made an
affidavit in the Court of Chancery to her prejudice, which was
every word false. "In consequence of that affidavit," said Mrs.
Illigh, " I believe him capable of any violence towards tie, and I
apprehend my person to be in great danger."
'Mr. HOSKINS asked whether she really apprehended personal
violence frcm him ? she replied strongly in the affirmative.
A gentleman who attended professionally for Mr. Scott rose,
and said he was sorry to trouble the lady with a few questions.
Mrs. Bligh—May I ask your name ?
Yes, Madam, my name is Hutchinson.
" Then I claim the protection of the Magistrate," said Mrs.
Bligh, with great energy, " for I have before been insulted by you."
Mr. Hostcnis told her Mr. Hutehinson was entitled to ask
questions in behalf of his client, and if they were relative to the
case, they must be answered.
Mr. Hutchinson—Did you discharge the lady's maid you
speak of ?
Mrs. Bligh—l did upon my oath ; I discharged her for theft,
and for great improprieties of conduct with one of the Men-.

.servants. •
Mr. Hutehinson—Do you swear you have no articles in your
house belonging to her or her husband ?
Mrs. Bligh—Upon my oath I declare I have not one single ar-
ticle there belonging t() either of them.
Mr. Scott said, his wife left property in Mrs. Bligh's house
when she left, and his only motive in calling was to get possession
of it again.
Mr. HOSKINS (to Mrs. Bligh)—Have you caused a search to
be made ?
Mrs. Bligh—l have caused a search, and I can further say, she
had scarce a thing to her back when she came into my service.
Mr. Hutchinson--The only thing which justified Mr. Scott in
going to the house was, a positive belief that some of his property
was there, and I feel an impression that if a more minute search is
made it will be found.
Mrs. Bligh--I claim protection of the magistrate, for I have
already received insults froM you (weeping) I have no one to
protect me.
Mr. Harmer—lle would not go away, although he was re-
peatedly and repeatedly desired to leave the house.
Mr. Hutchinson—The wife and husband declare that they have
goods remaining in Mrs. Bligh's house of the value of 301.
Mrs. Bligh--What will the magistrate think .of Mr. Scott
being protected by Mr.. Hutchinson, the solicitor (Mrs.
Bligh stood by the magistrate's side, at some distance from the're-
porter, and that word was not heard distinctly.)
Mr. HOSKINS said the parties were going into particulars not
connected with the case before him, and (addressing Mr. Scott)
asked him if lie would engage that there should be no further die-
turbance at the lady's house.
Mr. Scott—l never will disturb Mrs. high in any but a legal

way.
Mr. Hutchinson—Certainly he will not ; be only wishes to
obtain his property.
Mr. Harmer to Mr. Scott—And will you promise not to set
another to do it?
Mr. Hosiciss (to Mr. Harmer)—You hare no right to sup-
pose that be will.
Mr. Scott--I am certain my wife left property behind her ;
The Magistrate's son. .
