MRS. LEE.

Mrs. Las is the fubjeft of univerfal converfation at
the tea.tables. It is well known Ike was early in life
celebrated for her wasteland mental attraSions,end
that many diftinguilbed Gentlemen were candidates
for her hand. In compliance with the wakes of her
mother, Lady Mealier, Ida D/1222100D received
the addreffes of Mr. P nephew of the Sal of
Maectaris in, who had been the intimate of her
father, Lord Le Di 'reticle I but after a year's pro-
baeion, file repeated that Ike never could farreoder
to him her affeftions, and remained inflexible to fur-
ther importunity.—Her rujellion of Ibis Gentleman
ought therefore to be attributed neither to incoaftaacy
nor inconallence. Her fubfeqbent marriage with Mr.
Lee, though preceded by no long interval of acquaint-
ance, was (*allotted and promoted by Come of ber
,nearefl relativei. With regard to the reparation I
which loon followed, it would be futile and invidious i
to enquire from what particular fource it originated.
Such was the diffimilarity of cane and fentirnent be-
tween the parties, that, their common friends ap-
proved the meefure: Of her fortune, which had been
eo,oool. Mrs. Lee retained but 20,001. and Ike has
ever Slice led a life of comparative feclufion and c)
(mirky. Within the laR five years her agent., has
been embittered by nervous complaints, by which the
diftrefcful anlicties natural to a timid conflitation
have been increafed to a degree truly pitiable.
The publicity of Mrs. Lee has procured littanot
Cher violent lover. During the he week a genteel
young man made a number of applications at her
houfe to fee her, and fent a number of letters. Os
Saturday he obtained the. objea of his &firei but
Mrs. Lee Gen dikovering lie had no knowledge of
him, he was (hewn to the door. On Sunday be eon-
untied to be extremely tmoblefome' and left his card
of addrefs, which induced Mrs. Lee to inform Mr.
Parkins,. her Solicitor, who applied yefterday at the
Public Office Bow-Ilreet. from whence an 05qa was
apatched to apprebyd him, on whet* arrival he
was Gewn into the room where .the prifoner was.—
The Officer informed him lie waited upon hint from
Mrs. Lee, who whited to fee him, when he readily
accompanied him. On his arrival at the Office be
appeared extremely impatient to lee kirs. Lee ; but
belhg informed the would Gordy be there, be was
appealed ; bet, on Mrs. Lee and Mr. parkins being
informed, be was in Coßody, and neither of them
appearing. he was difcharged.
It appeared that he )adlodged at, the Caßfe and

Abotit ten days ago Mr. Ueosawoon Went to die
Caye and Felon, Alderfgate-alreet. He appeared
very flufh of money, and to have a great quantfty of
Bank Notes. In the morning he ufed to Walt about
the baste and the yard of the Inn, in a morning
gown, and the houfe flippers, but without breeches
or flockings. Shortly after his arrival he comment-
ed a correl'pondence, ex with Mr. Fox, the
Duke, of You, Mr. Mr.. ADDINOTOS,
Lord HAWK MUILT, Mr. WIN 014•11, Mr. Prey.. No
anfwirs were received. although dinner was frequent-
ly preparedfor thefe Gentlemen, particularly/or Mr.
&PICINI and Mr. beim: his conduit was the Aube
jeft of wonder and eurioaty at the inn. During the
laß week it becalm Bill more extraordinary. At
laß it came our, that he was mad in love with Mrs.
Las. rlis letter% to her were fo numerous, and
fo badly paid, that none of the fervanti would *un-
dertake his =fags but Boats. Poor keit was'
flattered by the honour that thui devolved upon* him.
—The bufinefs Of the /mai. however, not aelmit-1
ting of his continual *Vence, hook was obliged
to employ fubftitutes ; and fo great was the flight of
letter, dirpatched in Eve days, the expenee amount-
ed to 41. 45. which not being puntually paid poor
B•Ot I was fnmmoned to the Court or Requefts,'
and obliged to pay the amount.—Since His Ma-
-11.51-.''S flight rheumatic affation, Mr. Under-
wood has been a daily vintor at the Qeen's Honk.
where he left his card, defcribing long& as Mr.
Underwood, Falcon Inn, Alderfgate-nreet.—The
Royal fervants, however, treated -him as a light,
(milli; coxcomb. They received his card and he
went away. During ail this time the dinner par-
ties were not his only difappointmtnt. The let-
ters with which poor Bowl was hourly difpatch-
eel, were addrelred to Mrs. Lee. Bolton-tow.—
What the anfwers were, we do not pretend to fay,
nor whether he received any; but it is a fad, not a
night palled that he did not give orders for a bed
to be prepared in a peculiar fort of way and for a
fecond pillow. The chambermaids thence (un-
paid that he expeded his wife in town ; but his
thoughts, as will appear by a fequel, were filled
with the image of Mrs. Lee. On Saturday morn-
ing while at breakfait, a newlpaper was brought to
him. The Sill part that caught his rye was the
account of Mr,. Lee's dream, on which he bounced
up in a rage, exclaiming " She is an angel. a
beauty, w beauty, I'll die for her, live for her."
So flying. he threw tLe muffins about the room, and
behaved is the mo.t extravagant " I am
the man, the very man," fai he, whom Ate law in
her dream, and Ilse (hall have none other." In this
date of mind he continued until the menouncement
of a perfon who walled to fee him. when he darted
in tranfports to the door and found himfelf in the
iron embrace of a Bowftreet officer, ;linear' of the
enchar ting arms of the lovely objea of his alfeetions.
Mr. Underwood is a young man about 3a, and of
v.:ty genteel appearance.

Man Komi was tried upon an information ex-•

without faring a regular apprenticeihm to the Paid
trade, at being Free of the laid City. The informa-
tio proceeded upon the Statute of the sth of Queen
Elisabeth j and the penalty for the offence is aos.

ing is carried sm
Mr. Kaarr, for the profecution, complimented the
nubile fpitit of thole who had fet the enquiry rn
f onto It was done, he fa d, not more to proteStlsofe
I tividnals in the fair ezercife of their trade, who
h ad laved a regular apprenticelhip, than it wit to
feeure the heal.h of the public, and prear.rve them
from the evil eifeas attendant on an urak.:lful menu-
failure of the prime article of human fnpport.
Evidence was then called, and the need:sty
proofs given. The Defendant, it appeared, kept a
&op on Snow Hill ; had originally followed the
-wde 'a miller, but, in December, Igo:, had corn-
the trade of a baker, in which capacity he
died to the Bakers' Company to take up his
a, but was refeed in confcquence of his not
(erred a regular apptentictihip to the trade.
Graves., while addrcffing the Jury fur the
lant, made tome very Imre remarks upon

PC (aid, had not refuted the Defendant his
an upon the& public principles daily:it to
but in enact:violet of the De a 'dant having
.d himfelf obnoxious to the trade, by felling
awn holfn penny cheaper than the relt of

Ithe bakers. Their oppolitios, he conceived to be
exceedingly impolitic, as it provoked a difc anon that
might ultimately prove injurious to the trade, though
of benefit to the country, as it proved that bakers
could afford to MI their bread a penny cheaper in
the quartern loaf, than the Axe table' warranted
them in doing ; and the reafon was, that it had hi-
therto been fuppofed, from the effeas of mifteurefen-
Noon, that a tack of flour would only make eighty
quartern ,loaves, when the fad was, that 86 or 87
might be made from that quantity. It would.there.
foie appear, that the Bakers' Company did not inter.
fere for the public good, as fociety were benefited by
the Defendant's continuance in trade, Co long as he
employed tkilful men in the mann/adore of his
bread. But, admitting the faft tbap the Defendant
had traded without ferving a regal* apprenticefhip,
yet he would contend the information could not be
tupproted, inatatuch as the Aft upon which it was
founded, did not extend to the City of London. The
Learned Council then cited fevcral very higfi autho-
rities, in fuppiwt of his oblation, and relied upon it
fur as acquittal.
Mr. Koury and hfri Jacasom. in their reply to
Itlr. Gurney, reprobated the motives afcribed by the
latter Gentleman to the Bakers' Company. for. ex-
