young man, was brought before Sir Menem, BIRNIZ from SL ,der!
tin's watch-house yesterday, charged with having made ontratr,w
love to Mrs. Rose Smith—a very decent sort of body, who is Irv,
to one Mr. George Smith, who is a smith by profession.
Mrs. Rose Smith was purchasing plums at a stall in St. Hants.,.
lane, on Monday evening, and whilst she was there Mr. Gik-s yew-
up and purchased some also. Mr. Giles was quite a stranger to Mo.
Rose Smith, and to her very great surprise he seemed disposed 4
make very free with her—" much more free than welcome," though'
she admitted that "he looked like a very nice young man, sba
rather tonic-Wert in liquor." He began with asking her " Wig yej
take some green gages, my love?" " No, Sir," said she, " tIA
gage I'm not green enough to take green gages from a strasge 1
when I have plenty of my own!" " Will you go to the boweros,
darling ?" said Mr. Giles. " No Sir," said Mrs. Rose Smith, g
have a husband of my own, and need'nt be beholden to you—l shag
you !" But Mr. Giles was not to be thus put off, he was " a iugi
wooer" if not a " thriving" one, and seizing Mrs. Rose Smith by
her " sedates," he rudely thrust her against the wall and swore be
would make her kiss him. In short, as she said, he used her shame.
fully ; and, to crown all, when she shrieked aloud for help, be drew
forth a constable's staff, flourished it over her head, told her hefts
a Bow-street officer, and, dragging her away to the watch-house, 4,
endeavoured to prevail upon the watch-house-keeper to lock heti
for the night as a disorderly woman. But, unluckily for Mr. G,,„
the watch-house-keeper saw through the matter at once, and, de
priving Mr. Giles of the baton he had so ungallantly misused, he
signed him to a cell, and suffered Mrs. Rose Smith to go in peso.
These things having been detailed in evidence, the captured 4,4
•was laid before Sir Mesta an, and the following colloquy took Oa
between him and Mr. Giles—who answered the queries put to him

_
as coolly as if there was nothing at all the matter
Pray, Sir, how came you by this staff ?—I had it from the I
Office. I belong to the dismounted horse patrol.
Indeed ! and where is your station 7-0 o Barnes Common.
. . .

And what brought you in St. Martin's-lane ?—I was off duty.
With leave?— Without leave.

And drunk F—And drunk, your Worship.
Very well—said Sir RICHAILD • you wilt find bail for the assaik
upon this woman, and I shall takel care that you no longer Wog
to the dismounted patrol, nor to any other.
Mr. Giles was then removed by the jailer ; who having lecke(
him up, reported to his Worship that Mr. Giles said, " things 101
turned out just to his wish, for he was tired of patrol duty, sit
had long wanted to cut it."

charged with abstracting a silk handkerchief front the pocket of 31t.
' Robert Scanlan, the artist, as that Gentleman was leaving
Haymarket Theatre, on Wedr.esday evening.
Mr. Scanlan felt somebody fumbling at his pocket, and turni4
suddenly round, be saw his handkerchief in the prisoner's had,
but It passed away through half a dozen other hands in an inituns.
technically, it was cleverly ding'd—and Mr. Scanlan had not
left for it but to seize the prisoner and hand hint over to thewatti
The prisoner, when asked by Sir Rickman whether he had aa
thing to say? replied, " Lou. bless you, Sir ! how can you think

gang of the most notoriousest thieves in London there, and soy
'cm was as likely to take the hankeher as what I was."
" No doubt of it"--said Sir RICIIIIII3 ; and committed him t
take his trial at the next Westminster Sessions.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday, a young Lady came to the Office in a flood of tear
and blood streaming profusely from her. She said she was paaisj
through Old Pie-street, when a fellow, who stood at the doorofa
house, called out his dog and set it at her: the dog bit her is ibs
thigh, and would have torn the part away, only for some perste
who came to her assistance.
The Magistrate inquired whether she gave the man any proves'
cation, or whether she was sure he set the dog at her wantonly ant'
maliciously ?
The young Lady said, she-had not even spoken to him until

dog bit her thigh ind tore her severely.
The Magistrate advised her to go home and have the part dressed
in the first instance ; and then, if she pleased, a warrant would bt
,witted against the offender; but her best mode of proceeding
would be by preferring an indictment against him, or by an anise
when, no doubt, she would obtain damages.
