(tripping the children of Mrs, Pennial, Mrs. Powell,
and Mrs. Ann Pardoe, when the parents were bound
over to profecufte, and the pawn! miters to give evi.
dence. The new charges were then goneinto, and
were as follow :

Mary Bcaden, the wife of a tailor, in Compton.
Iheet, laid, that on the igth of Auguft her child was
at play at the door. She had miffed her about five
minutes, and was running in fearch of her, when fhe
met the fervant girl of Mr. Harrifon bringing her
home. She kne' her at a very cenfiderable dif
lance by the frock the had on.
Mr. J. Harrifon, a pawnbroker, in Gray-flreet,
Paid, that on the day laid in the charge, the girl at
the bar came to his Ibop and pledged a child's frock
for tsd. After the had left the fhop about five mi
notes he heard a child fobbing and crying in the
box where the woman had flood, and looking over
he pet ceived her to be without a frock ; he caufed
the frock to he put on her, and fent his maid fervant
to endeavour to find her parents, while he went him.
fclf to inquire at the neighbouring public houfes and
(hops after the prifoner,but without fucccfs. He was
pofittve as to her identity. The frock was fworn to'
by the parent, who was bound over.
She was next charged with firipping the child of
Edward Smith, of Cecil Court, on the 17th of Au
gull laft, of a frock and fkirt.
Smith Paid, his little boy, on the 17t11 of Augufl,
went to the Park to play, and about (even o'clock
was brought home to him without frock or !kin.
Eleanor Smith, a very young girl, proved the
frock and fkirt to be the fame her little brother had
on that evening, and Mr. Cordinby, that the psifoner
had pledged the articles with him far half a crown.
He well knew her as a regular cullomer. On there
five charges the was fully committed for trial at the
next Seffions at the Old Bailey.
Gus LDHA L. L.—An irnmenfe number of cake, prin-
cipally from Bartholomew Fair, the generality of
them confoling'nf perfons formerly known to the
police officers, found in furpicious lituations, were
yefterday brought before Mr. Alderman PRINSEP,
the Sitting Magidiate. The greater part were im•
material, and merely circumftantial. From among
the crowd the following may be feleeted as moil in
terefling :
A perfon of the name of Harr!: was charged, being
a fulpicitoss charaCler, with having been feet. along
with a gang cf perfons in a fimilar fituation in the
throng of the Fair, and with having been ohferved
to thrull his hand into other perfons pockets, though
it did not appear that he had ftolen any thing. 'To
slide faits the officer who apprehended him (wore
poi-nivel)? ; and Tipper, the ()Ricer, allo (wore that
the prifoner was known at the City Police, having,
on a former occafion, been before the Lugo Mayo',
charged with a limilar offence.
Mr. BARRY, who appeared as Counfel for the pri•
loner, having crofs-examined Tipper, it appeared,
that on the occafion alluded to by him, no perfon
had appeared to profecute ; of courfe, no afloat gufit
could he thence inferred.

The Learned Counfel argued from this, that there
was no real ground for regarding his client as a ful
paled perfn. It might be the fate of any man to
be accufed innocently, but it would be carrying the
principle rather too far, to lay it down, that a per-
fon once accufed of a tranfaftion not finally brought
home to him, was, from that moment, to be esteemed
a fufpicious perfon. His client was a houfeliolder
and a dealer, being a coal merchant, and could
prove a refpeelable charatfkr.
Mr. Alderman PRINSEP having intimated his in
tension of committing the prifoner, if not as a rogue
and vagrant, yet, as a loofe and diforderly perfon,
Mr. BARRY begged that his client might be re-
manded for a few days, by which a twofold good
might be accomplifhed—The Officers of the Police
would have an opportunity of adducing fuch charges
againfl him as they might think he was justly amen-
able to ; the prifoner. on the other hand, would be
able to bring forward proof of his good charaller.
Mr. Alderman PRINSFP agreed to tie propufition
of the Learned Counfel, and ordered, that the" pri-
foner lhould again be brought up on Friday. He
limed, however, that he doubted the innocence of
she-prifoner, the more from his having deemed it
neceffary to employ Counfel to ellablifh it.
Mr. BARRY, while he thanked the worthy Alder-
.
man fot the opportunity given to his client of clear-
ing his charaeter, fubmittad, that in his perfon, a
reflation had been thrown on the whole Bar, in as
tar as it was inferred that a perfon, in availing him-
' Telf of the natural right of the fubjeas of this realm,
to defondf himfelf by Ccunfel, thereby betrayed a

PUBLIC ADVANTAGE.
THE advantage the public muff always derive
from regularly educated profeffional men directing alma ex-
elutively their ftudies to one fpecies of malady, was never more
clearly dernonftratrd than by the unexampled (uccefi which has
attended the adminiftrat!on of their new remedy, and the extra-
ordinary cures it has performed. Fora long feriesof year*, Meffrs
CUR RIE and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majefty's fervice,
have made the Venereal Dam& the particular °Med of their in-
veftigation, and are happy in having dikovered a medicine fupe•
nor to mercury in the cure of that complaint—it is fuffictent to
obferve that the Weds of this remedy are &metrically appetite to
thole of mercury,for though it completely eradicates every veftige
of the virus, In its mat confirmed Rages, yet it does not in the
leaft injhre the conflitation—on the contrary, it renovates the fyf-
tem in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates
digeftion—thus inflead of reducing a Rrong and vigorous conftim
tion'to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre
fence that conftitution in its primitive (tale, but reftorca a weak
