A few days ago, a young Lady of Carlow, twenty.
five years of age, and twenty-seven inches in height,
took a fancy to a strapping young fellow of that neigh-
bourhood, and eloped with him; first taking eighty
guineas from her father's desk ; the fugitives were, how.
ever, pursued, taken, and comfortably lodged in the
gaol of that town. he wags, alluding to the stature of
the fair one, combined with other matters, say that she
will be made a show of at the next Assizes.

The conviction of Henry Bardon and John Elgar, at
the Lite Old Bailey Sessions, for highway robbery in the
Edgware-road, at eleven o'clock at night, having excited
great interest in the neighbourhood, as well as in. the
whole of Mary.la-bonne parish, it being considered very
improbable that a robbery should be committed in so
public a thoroughfare and at so early an hour in the
night; and the prosecutor having absconded immedi-
ately after the trial, the neighbours became extremely
anxious for farther investigation, and Mr. Sheriff LAURIE
and Sir RICHARD BIRNIE have consequently been em-
ployed during the whole of the past week in examining
witnesses, and taking depositions of respectable persons,
which contradict, in every material circumstance, the
evidence of the prosecutor, and have left no doubt in the
minds of the worthy Sheriff and the Chief Magistrate
of the innocence of both the prisoners. The eight depo-
sitions have accordingly been taken by the Sheriff to the
Secretary of State fur the Home Department; and if
really guiltless; they will be rescued from that shame-
ful death to which the laws of their country had, upon
such false evidence, consigned diem?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Tar Esters COACH RODIRSTrmiIIO horse-dealer who was
charged en suspicion of having uttered a number of the Birming-
barn Bank stolen notes, knowing than to have been stolen, under-
went a Seal examination before the LORD MAYOR Elect. The
prosecutors had no evidence to adduce en this occasion beyond that
already stated.
The LORD Maros Elect said, if the prisoner would act so in-
cautiously as to take country notes from persons of whom he knew
nothing, and took no care to know, he must put up with such in-
conveniences. Circumstances might, however, yet turn up, which
would render it necessary to take the prisoner in custody again.—
His Lordship then discharged the prisoner.
