INFAMOUS CASE OP SEDUCTION.'

......,......
following application, was a day or two since
e to H: M. DyER, -Esti.. .the worths' Magistrate of
.
arlborOugh-stiel Office t .
.
Madame Tfigni, a foreign Lady of very great re-
speatability, aocompankd by a pretty genteel girl o(
fifteen years of age, requested the asustaoce of the
Police, under the following. singularly unfortunate'
circumstances :—Madame Trigiu, in very great af-
fliction, stated, that the:young tidy; her daughter,
who accompanied her, was intended for a religious•
life, and was about to be educated for that, prepara-
tory to her being placed in a Catholic family of dii-
tinction ; and, in order that the young Lady might
pursue her studies uninterrUptedly, she was placed
in the care of Madame Louisa Fabian, a Spanish
woman, residing •in niddington-streer, Mary-la-
BJnae. This woman was recommended as a most
fit person for such a charge, and the applicant had
no hesitation in placing her daughter under her in+
struction, as she believed her a strictly pious woman,
bbt the sequel proved the very reverse. Her daughter
had only been in the house a few days, when her ruin
Was effected by a stranger whom she never had seen
before. This person, with Madame Fabian, had suc-
ceeded in making her almost intoxicated with ale,
into which she believed a soporific was infused. She
requested the assistance of the police to discover her
d.iugliter's seducer. .
' . The young Lady was then with great difficulty
prevailed upon to derail the following circumstances:
11-he having been placed in Madame Fabian's house,
received instructions from her daily, and regularly
'attended the service of the Mass and Vespers, on her
return from which yesterday week, she found a Gen-
tleman sitting with and talking very freely to Ma-
dame Fabian, who introduce& him to her rather
formally. The man spoke French fluently, although
with an Irish accent. Having drank tea, an amusing
conversation followed ; he frequently regarding her
in a manner she did not like: he also made ap-
proaches which she laughed at, not for an instant
supposing he meant any harm : however, ale was in-
troduced, and she was obliged to drink considerably.
Shortly after be requested Madame Fabian to buy
some oysters, for which purpose she retired, shutting
the door alter her, leaving him and the poor girl
alone, lie instantly seised her, and although she
loudly screamed for assistance, and violently re-
sisted, yet no one came, and he effected his purpose.
During the struggle she tore his face. Some time
after Madame Fabian entered the room, with supper,
and smiling, seemed to exchange looks with the man.
She only laughed at the complainant, who was cry-
ing; in a chair, and advised her to eat some supper.
The man soon after left,. and on upbraiding Madame
Fabian with her treachery, the witness was only
latighed at, and Madame Fabian made same very
indecent
.jokes upon her situation, blaming herself.
She in a few days returned home, and stated what
had occurred so her mother's attendant.
The Magistrate having listened very attentively to
this extraordinary recital, questioned her very closely
on several points of evidence, during which it was
elicited that she had never seen the man before, but
she would know him again, particularly as she had
.torn his face; she Sever consented to: his brutal at-
lack;and hid resisted until she-fainted: . The young
Lady seetne&very ill. . - -
• .. .
~ ' It was stated to the Magistrate, that it was found
necessary to resort to surgical advice. and the young
Lady had been attended by's ineilleil Gentleman.
Mr.DYER said, their evidence would be necessary,
V.
If die-Wretch was discovered; and having had the
"young Lady sworn to these facts, he issued awai-
view. against Madame Fabian, who, on Saturday,
sess brought before the Magistrate; and the evidence
being detailed to her; she was called on to account,*
her conduct, being assured she should be committed
'as an accessory if she did not speak the truth.
The woman then, in French..and with great volu-
bility, admitted having received Mademoiselle Trigni
~in her house, as boarder, which she extremely re-
lretted, as the young Lady was possessed of. very
"wanton manners and levity .of behaviour towards
been, even • strangers, for which she frequently re-
proved her; but the ypung Lady only laughed her
caution to scorn, saying she-Wail' do as she pleased.
She had introduced the Gehiliniiii in question as a
sweetheart, to whom she said she was much attached,
and she often .met -him in the Park. He seemed to
be as impudent is herself, and often, even before
her (Madame Fabian). took very great liberties with
the girl, who encouraged him much. She recol-
lected his being brought there on the Sunday men-:
cioned, and also for the Oysters, not imagining
1 imything would have occurred during her. absence.
Had the girl screamed, she must have heard' her ;
,tend on returning,' she observed nothing.particalarly
i unusual. The young lady was then sitting near the
ratan, pouting, but she afterwards laughed, and ate
very heartily. From some appearances, she was led
to be of opinion something had occurred, and she
then blamed herself for leaving them alone. •After
supper the gentlenxan took. his leave in a very:play-
ful manner, and she then scolded the young lady
for consenting to her own dishonour.
' Mr. Meg inquired if she knew who the man was ?
'She answered in she negative.
:' Madame Trigni -denied her daughter being, as de-
-sCribed by the woman, who, she said, had received a
handsome bribe, for conniving at the destruction of
innocence.
1 Madame Fabian denied this, saying she had spoken
'the truth ; and, in language more energetic than elo-
quent, gave the retort courteous.
Another French lady deposed to the correctness of
Mademoiselle Trigni's conduct ; she was the very op-
posite of what was described by the woman, who had
trumped up the-base story to screen her own iniquity.
The young lady seemed overwhelmed with asto-
nishment' at the allegations of the woman, and yery
affectingly denied it altogether. -
Mr. DYER observed, from the woman's manner, he
could not place implicit confidence is bet scat
The Mhotsvasxs then closely queltiOned,
with an infinite deal of trouble, ascertained froi
accused woman, that the man bad said he.knew
of the establishment of Psince Esterhazy :
very willing to find him Out if she could. ,
Mr. DYER then discharged her, on her unde
to apperr when called on. Hen:ignited to
Trigni' that ne elms could be obtained; but
et inquiries should be made.

THE LATE GREAT FIGHT.
It now' apps ars that a Quaker Lady (though not Was Ftv)
did actually interfere to prevent the late great fight between
Spring and Neat. The following is given as a correct statement
of what occurred on the occasion.
A fine old Lady, of the Society of Friends, with a couple of
her daughters, came in their carriage to the Argot, at Martina" •
rough., during the time Neat was in training. The two daughter* •
remained In the cSrrialge, at the door, while the old Lady nude bet,
way info the -Angel. • Slop mcended the stairs, and found Beichert
in a room, sitting by himself, Neat having retired to change hi*
clothes. Tom thought the Lady had mistaken the apartment in the
above inn, till she addiesfecl him " Thy name is Belcher, is it not%
friehd ?" " Yes, Madam," was the reply.—Tom was in hopes to
'get rid of the Lady before Neat returned, but she waited till the
Bristol hero made his appearance. " I understand, friend 14eat,
thou art about fighting a prize battle. Dost d* not berme
it is very sinful? Be advised, friend, and give it ttp." Neat
urged that be was bound In honour, and that if he gave it up,
he was likely to lose £5OO by it. What is £500; In compa-
rison with thy poor soul? Think of that, friend. Give It up, I
beg 'of thee; and will see if the £5OO cannot be raked for
thee." Afteran expostulation of nearly two boars, impressed
upon Neat with tears, the old Lady retired without obtaining
the desired effect. The Bristol hero, by way af consolation,
thanked the old Lady for the interest and kindness she had taken
In his fate, and promised her that be would not fight any more.
It is said to be the intention of Spring to " tie up prize-mil-
ling," and attend to busineas. • .
On the first deposit of 410 being made good at the Castle
Tavern,' Holborn, towards the above match, Spring offered to •
take Tom Belcher £lOO to £2O, that he drew first bloat; also,
that Neat did not knock him down during the battle'; and, ulti-
mately, he should win the fight. "So much do I care," said
Spring, " for the hard hitting of Neat!" These events have all •
been verified by Spring.
Mr. Jackson collected for the losing man on the ground, £47.
The night previous to the battle, Spring, I:1 company with his
backer, walked from Andover to take a view of the ground on .
which the battle was to place, when Spring observed, "it
was so beautiful a spot, that no man could grumble to be well
licked upon it."

A robin's nest, with *several eggs, was fonpa a few
days ago, built on a ledge underneath a carpenter's
bench, on the premises of Mr. gaFoi,'l2a#lr, in
Litchfield. The bench has been constantly in use,
and frequently moved Irons place, to place; and thb
bird is. now become so familiar, wiikthe workmen,
as to sit upon its nest while they are at work..
A very remarkable case has,ocenrspd ‘sriiki man •

beard, has entirely come away from his skin. iestbout
any apparent cause for so striking a change.; He is
perfectly well in health, and can assign no reason for
the loss of his hair. He had formerly a good head
(Abair, and an ordinary strong .er rough beard, arid'.
in the short space of sir weeks he has been marvel-
kusly deprived of both. He was nearly.eleven years
in a militia regiment. during which' period, in order
to attend.parade in a decent and cleanly manner, he
was necessitated to shave his heard generally once a
day, and now, to the.astonishment of all his friends,
he has not to perform any labour of the kind.—There
is a Captain in the •Navy who has been both bald-
headed and beardless for several years. He wears a
wig, but needs no razor. He is .unable
to account
for the loss of his beard. • •
