charge was made against her, and, to the great surprise of the
Magistrate, he instabtly volunteered to replace the property.—
The woman Had once saved his life, he said, by giving him notice
of a plot laid by two notorious characters to murder him, and he
would never see her go to prison for a crime committed through
