Yesterday a young man of diminutive stature, bet who IQ,
dressed in rather a style of eb.-ganee, a::d gave his rime rays
was brr.ught b'fore A. Wiliam, Esq. in custody of pa,"
charged under the following circumstances t—Some timeagno*
prisoner formed an acquaint:dice with Mr. William Mortis,ltint;
in Berks, and was admitted upon terms of imintacy into his fainili,
when he succeeded in gaining the affectians of Mrs. Morri6
spruce short fat woman, lunch above his own age. About th!te
weeks ago she absconded from her hashand, taking silvt.rpLa!,
apparel, money, and every ;:unable she could put together, ay
eloped with the prisoner to London.
Mrs. Morris, upon seciiij her husband, did not express the kit
emotion; he shook hands with her, and seemed very happy at his,
ing met her. The paramour was placed as a criminal at th: her,
and she was permitted to remain with her husband.
The Magistrate asked Mr. Morris what Complaint he bad to make
against the prisoner? Mr. Morris detailed every particular relatieg
to his acquaintance with bins; he was very cool and collected, .1
although he made no charge against him for stealing his wife, it
preferred a charge of felony against him for stealing his property,
or for being accessary to it; but unlurtutiately he had no proof
substantiate either charge.
_

In answer to the Magistrate's questiuns,the prisoner said he nut
certainly had been living with Mrs. Morris, but he denied am
knowledge of property. If she had taken away anything she die
posed of it herself as she pleased.
The Magistrate then asked Mr. Morris what line of conduct he
intended to adopt regarding his wife ?
Mr. Morris said he was ready to receive her back, and hoped di
imprudent step would he a caution to her iu future, and that she
would act better now than ever before.

The Magistrate was glad to see him reconciled to her, butte
highly censured the prisoner for his cot:duct. It was true tie
charge of felony could not be maintained, but he called upin Yis
to find efficient- bail for his good beh..viour.—Charge dismisied..
