c7eney, which she was ashamed to own, atui had.there-
fore taken this method •to make it up, in order to ba-
lance one week after another, by which the evil had
only increased. She had moreover relinqi,ished her
own salary, which went into her master's coffers, abet
which accounted for her extreme poverty.
The prosecutor seemed mach staggered at this de-.
fence, He admitted that the person whom the•priso-
ner succeeded had been deficient in sometimes two
or three pounds per week ; if the prisoner had so de-
clared herself as to such casual deficiency, he would
have not only acquiesced in the loss, but have sub-
mitted to it in the full amount for which .s'6e was now
charged, and which evert upon this scale would be a
deficiency of less than two pound per week, from the
time she had kept hid cash.—The difficulty which now
remains rests upon the forgery. His Lordship then
said, that because of the mysterious nature of the
CASC, he should remand the prisoner for another hear-
ing. She was accordingly remanded for further exa-
mination. •

Prone Orme, BOW-STREET.—Yesterday John Boot,
stated to have been brought to the Wile by Hum-
phreys, -tut suspicion of being concerned in uttering
forged Bank-of England notes, underwent another
examination, when it turned out that instead of being
concerned in uttering forged Bank of England notes,
he had been negotiating forged country Bank notes.
It WAi proved that he uttered, a few days since, at
Deptford, a five guinea Penzance Bank note. Hum-
plireys found in his residence a forged Plymouth
Bank, and other provincial notes. He was commit-
ted tot further examination.

QUEEN-IQUA R s.—Yesterday Mr. William Pollard
took out a summons against the driver of the hackney
coach,.No. 299, for receiving more than his proper
fare; Mr. Rivers one against No. 1037, for taking
more than his legal fate, and rude behaviour (no
tickets given) ; and Mr. Carrick a summons against
No. 229, for refusing to carry. him on- Wednesday
evening froth Covent Garden Theatre, after Mr.
C. had regularly taken' and got into the coach.
Mr. FIELDING remarked on the last case, where no
ticket could even be demanded, as there was no fare
to pay ; that it afforded another proof of the absurd
construction which had been put on the New Hackney
Coach Act, namely, that henceforth no complaint
could be exhibted against a hackney-coachman, ex-
cept where a ticket was produced ; and would any
one say that the conduct in this instance ought to pass
unpunished?
Linton-Plau..—Monday, 26th Sept. 1614., a Gen-
tleman was brought to thisoffice this morning, charged
by Mr. Astley, jun. for disturbing the audience by
means of inflanimable balls, which cane a great ex-
plosion, similar, to the report of a pistol. The Gen-
tleman who was so charged was, however, sensible
of the impropriety of such conduct in a public Thea-
tre, and having sufficiently apologized to Mr. Asdev,
the matter ended, and he was discharged by the
Magistrates, Thomas Fish and David Kiner, hdqrs.

IMPORTANT Fulminating Balls !—The
recent inclination to play with the Fulminating-
and the Fulminating Powder, will, we hope, receive
a check from the following at-side:lt, which bad very
nearly proved fatal to an amiable little gill. about live
years of age :—For the ptirpose of fun, one of her bro-
thers carried to the country several of the balls in
question, and after using some, put the others into a
-drawee.. The child, not knowing their nature, •put
one into her mouth, whets it exploded, cutting her
mouth very much, blowing out some of her teeth, and
most seriously aLrming the family : two neighbour.
ing surgeons were immediately sent for, who made
the needful applications, but the poor girl can scarcely
take any food, and will be a great sufferer although
her life is not in danger. The surgeons were of opi-
ition'illat irate bili had exploded when a little ful-
ther, it Pm:4l6ly would have been fatal.
Lord CAtvnonee's, and Durham House Gardens,

by a gang of gaiden robbers, who hole the fruit, and
destroyed the trees to an immense extent, was again

St. Martin's Church was robbed on Saturday night
of lead, &c. The Churchwardens, while attending
to the repairs which are going on in that building,
heard a noise in a part of the church where they
knew no person had any business to go ; and on be-
ginning to search %Rey met with iron crows, and in
the roof lead rolled up ready to carry away. They
searched the church several times without finding
any strangers ; at last they discovered two boys hid-
den under the bells. From them theW.aidens learn-
ed they had before visited the church on a similar
errai.d. With them they had ropes to ipwer them-
selves from the windows. They had tam. some of,
