Was. South Shei, a tall lad of eighteen, was brought up on a war•
rant, charged with assaulting Susan Rose, a servant girl, under the
following circumstances :
Mr. Shee, it seems, is an apprentice in the house of Mr. Scott,
linen-draper, of High Holborn, whose culinary concerns are super-
intended by Niiss Ruse. On Saturday evening last, during the ;Ab-
sence of Mr. Scott, his apprentice, who is cleanly to a fault, was
extremely anxious to purify his complexion front the defecating in-
fluence of Holborn smoke, and in order to effect so desirable a con-
summation, descended from those realms of light in which he
is accustomed to act as viceroy over gingham' and bombazines, to
the regions of comparative darkness, where Susan Rose has long
ruled the roast. This invasion of the lower territories was far
from agreeable to this fair Proserpine, who, in good set terms, ac-
cording to her own account, rated the intruder ; not that Susan
had any objection to Mr. Shee's going as nice and dean as hands
could make him—she merely objected to the locus in quo, and the
conversion of her kitchen into a dressing-room. In spite, however,
of her remonstrances, Mr. Shee approached the sink,and appropria-
ting to himself a wooden bowl, which stood therein most conve-
niently fur his purpose, proceeded to his task of deputation. Susan,
angry enough at being thus rendered a cipher in her own dominions,
seized the bowl by the handle, overturned it, and in a twinkling all
Mr. Shee's soap-suds disappeared, with a gurgling sound, through
the aperture of the sink-hole. An outrage like this, might, perhaps,
in the middle ages, have escaped with impunity, considering the sex
and quality of the offender; but, alas! the age of chivalry is gone,
and Mr. Shee, in particular, is no Bayard; so, turning round, with
his hands still dripping, and extended in the attitude of a dancing
bear, he dashed one of his moistened ' mauleys' into the face of his
antagonist, the effects of which were immediately apparent in the
shape of a black eye; and for this discolouration of visage the indig-
nant maiden now sought compensation at the hands of justice.
On the part of the defendant, these facts were nut denied. He
only pleaded the strong provocation he bad received, which, how-
ever, the worthy Magistrate did not consider sufficient to justify
so vigorous an attack, or indeed any attack, upon a lady, but or-
dered hint to find bail to answer it in another place.
Mr. Sher, in the meantime, was locked up, without either soap
or towel, till his sureties should be forthcoming. •

Yesterday, George Illabbs Shelley, a palish clerk; was again brought
np for re-examination before Messrs. WYATT and HARDWICKE,

Rector of the Parish of Whitechapel, he went to Mr. Law, the

tember prisoner came to the shop, and said, unleu be had the cloth
be was a ruined man, but witness refused to deliver it up, as Mr.
Miller had directed he should not do so without his consent. The
cloth had been previously pawned on the 30th July, and redeemed
on the tith of Augast.
The following extract of a letterwas produced from the prisoner.
—" I never made use of any property belonging to the Church ex-
cept the green cloth, which I bad frequently borrowed publicly,
and was compelled from dire necessity to pledge it, to enable me to
pay an execution out of my house."
The prisoner said, that whatever might be the fate of his con-
duct, be would not attempt to deny the pawning, but that he
was driven to it by the keenest distress. tie concluded by beg-
ging to be remanded in consequence of the non-attendance of Mr.
Harmer, to whom he had entrusted his ease. Remanded accord-
ingly until Friday.
