tionship t but-received letters from all, totally deny-

her himself, at the last Clerkenwell Sessions, of
being a rOglle, vagrant, and impoSttir ; but that
the Magistrates, in c'onsideration of her being pre-
viously imprisoned a month, had only sentenced her
to another month's confinement, which terminated
only about the time she stated herself to have broken
out of a mad-house at Gravesend. He repeated also
the circumstance of her conviction at Exeter ; and
said, that' .so far from having been abroad many
years as she pretended, she :raver had been out of
the country ; but had for the last five years been,
as it were, going circuit through every part of the
kingdom, practising similar impositions, pretend-
ing to be the mal-treated and abandoned relative of
highly respectable families, and swallowing opium, or
affectiig attempts to drown herself : but always
taking care so tcstime those tricks as not to incur any
real danger—that she once affected to swallow two
ounces of laudanum before • the whole Gloucester-
shire regiment, when drawn up on parade, at their
country quarters; and that she had played off simi-
lar stratagems at Clapham, at Edmonton, in Si.
Paul's, Covent-garden, at Bath, at Cheltenham, at
Bristol, Tunbridge Wells,' Salisbury, Southampton,
Brighton, Winchester, and a number, of other places
in different parts of the kingdom ; and this trade she
has been carrying on successively since 1804. Two
convictions for vagrantcy had not been sufficient to
warn her from continuing her impostures. Mr. Cot-
tcrell, therefore, urged that the Magistrate should
now commit her, as an incorrigible vagabond and im-
postor, so that she might again be tried at the next
Session ; and if convicted, either be imprisoned for
two years, or transported, as the Magistrates in their
discretion should deem best.
Alderman Serror.Ey said, that he did not feel him-
self warranted to take cognizance of any circum-
stances of the prisoner's misconduct preceding her last
conviction, as all these appeared to have been then
considered ; and he could not see there was any evi-
Jence now hefore him of her having obtained any
money by false pretences, in the case under consider-
ati()ll, Nyllich could warrant him to commit her to
prison.

Mr. Alderman Woon, however, was of opinion,
that the contumacy with which the prisoner kill per-
sisted in being the daughter of Sir William Maxwell;
her denying the fact of her trial and convic:ion at
Exeter, and all knowledge of her brother, the Salis-
bury mail coachman ; her pretending to be a woman
of education, though she could not write her fume,
but always pretended to be nervous, when. required
to write ; and the vulgarity of her language shewing
her to be a person of low degree, were all proofs of
imposture ; and her pretending to be what she was
not, warranted her commitment, at least for further
examination.

. . Ma NSION-HOUs;E.—Yesterday /Inn KinNig was fully
committed, charged with stealing a watch from W.
Boycs.—A young man was sent on board the tender,
::harged with stealing a board, fastened in front of a
ladder; and a carman was fined 10s. for suffetin,Y,

obstruction of other carriages.
Bow-STREET.--An information was yesterday
heard before the Sitting Magistrate against a master-
sweep, named Henry Doe, residing in the parish of
Mary-la-bonne, for having in his service, as an ap-
prentice, a child under the age of eight years, con-
trary to the Act of Parliament passed for regulating
the at,,,es of children to be apprenticed to that business,
which partic*larly specifies the children must be up-
! wards of that age, and not to be bound for a longer
time than eight years.
The circumstances of this case were truly distres-
sing, and exhibited an instance of human depravity
rarely to be equalled. It appeared that the mother
of the child went some distance front London, and
left her little son, a fine child, five years of age, in
the care of its father, who is a working plumber,
named Millet. She remained out of town for nearly
t twelvemonth, and oif her return, flew with anxious
hopes to• the lodging of her husband, where she, of!
course, expected to be gratified with the sight of her
son ; but what was her misery and astonishment,
when she vas informed by her unnatural husband,
that during her absence he had the cruelt-v and inhu-.1
manity to place his infant offspring in the service of
c!a sweep, and thus early to expose its tender frame to
all those melancholy vicissitudes so prevalent, and
!unhappily so often experienced by the unfortunate
children doomed to that wretched employment. Her
sensations may be more easily felt than described.—
She rushed from the presence of the monster, her I
husband, almost frantic, and after sonic difficulty
found the den, for it could not,be called a human ha-1
Ikation, where her unfortunate infant, then inaugu-
rated in the mysteries of sweeping a chimney, was
doomed to pass its existence, without the fostering
,care of a tender mother, so necessary to a child so
young, and subject to all the cruelties. an inexorable ;
master might heap upon it. The measure of her
woes, was yet, however, to be licaped still higher,
and she had yet the horrid tale to hear that the
father of this hapless child, absolutely sold it for
three ininea.F, without the production of which i,s
equally unnatural master refused to restore it to the
longing embraces of its distracted mother. The
only resource now left her was to apply to a solicitor i
for advice, and Mr. Humphries humanely took the
case in hand, and summoned the master before the
Magistrates, who, without a moment's hesitation, nr- •
dered the child to be restored to its mother, and im-
posed a fine of 51. on the master.
Ann Goodman was committed for obtaining, under
false pretences, considerable quantities of wearing aP-
pare and linen, from several poor women who keep
mangles.
