110W-STU EF.T.

Misi Anastasia Dolt, Miss Caroline Rasa St. irb.ins, Mistress Wl-
nifrol- If atling:xi S,”tirr.ni*, and a worshipful Justice of the Puree for
the county of Cermarthen, were brought belOre Sir ILK:name
LINNIS yesterday, from Coreet.g.srden watclnhouso, charged with
riotous and disorderly concloct in saloon of Drury-lane Theatre,
and with beating a constable and other persons belonging to that
Theatre. The facts, as they were detailed in evidence by a number
of witnesses, appeared to be thus :
Some time idler the clone of the performances on Wednesday
night, the constables and boil-keepers were alarmed by a tremens
duos uproar in the'salom, and instantly proceeding neither, they
found aheniet ad the fights eating ei-ted, and Miss.Anastasta Bolt
and Miss Caroline Rosa St. Alb..ns, c:ateing each orbit- very tu-
riously in the neid-t of a ring of Gentlemen and Ladies, autone
wholit were Mrs. Winifred Watlington Sparrow, and the before
mentioned Justice of the 'Peace for • the county of Carnisrthen.—
The lights bad been ly • ell put nut, tied the Ladies were
squalling, and the Gentlemen were bawling " Go it!" and the
swirling about was tremendous; and the mirrors of the saloon
weir in jeopardy ; and the saloon itself was much tenadalized by
the uproar —so much so, dun it was more WU' a hear-garden than
a splendid apartment, bred up, at a great expense, for the express
accommodation of Ladies of easy virtue. Tne constables itnine-
finitely proceeded to disentangle Miss Caroline Rosa Sr. Albans
i front Miss Anastasia Pont—in the hope that such disentenglement
would induce tln: n hole bevy to bait—hut in this hope they were
Altogether mistfiln.n—for when, with much difficti:ty and some
danger, they had disentangled the Ladies its questi.ln, the uproar
still continued, though why or wherefore nobady seemed to knos.v.
At length the constables resolved to employ a hale physical toter
in the removal of all the Ladies from the premises—naturally con-
cluding that the oe:talent-in would follow them as:neturally as the
blue-Lot:le flies follow anything they take a fancy to. ACcordingly
they proceeded so to do; but whilst they wele descending the
stairs, each constable laden with a cue; le of Ladies—or " with
two pieces a piece," as they expressed it--une of them (Nettleton)
was knocked down, and grievously •beaten by the Gs:sidemen ; and
Miss Carbline Itosa St. Albans took skit' opportunity of-knocking
down one of the box-keepers,, who lead imprudently --ventured to
assist the constables. What followed immediately open this it is
impos-ible to say exactly ; but in conclusion, Miss Anastasia Bolt,
Mass Caroline Rosa St. Albans, Mrs. Winifred Wallington Spat-
row, and the Justice of the Peace tot the county of Camaro:en
were all sanely depesited in Cove:it-garden watch-house ; and Net-
detail now deposed, that at ie,st on,: of the beauty: lie'reeeivCll way
inflicted by the hst of the .le-tics of the l'vare.
31141 Al.astasia Beek pleaded is her detente, that spa h eil only
stood up in her own Science against the jealousies and aggressions
of Miss Caroline Hose St. Altaao,; and a. 1101 W Of the witnesses
on the other side could gainsay that plea, S:r iticttAltil ordered th it
she should be ditcharzeit.
Mrs. Winifred Wailington sparrow, a matron who attends the
saloon to sure-lintel:a the interests of Steven ladies who practise
under' bee especial pa:rOnige, pleaded that "on the distressing
occasion in questimi, she exerted her utmost influence to make
everything comfortahle ;" and, as nobody knew anything to the con-
trary thereof, Sir If ei HAM) recommended Mrs. Winifred Watling.'
ton Sparrow to LIVIALC herself to d.ght with all convenient speed ;
and she did so.

Miss Caroline Ilava St. Albans, alias Mrs. Masculine, a MO of
colour, and said to he the " uursci moiety" of a West of Raigland
Magi:trate, offered nothing in her defence but a rita.r.'Mati she o as
ordered to hod hail tor knocklogdown the boa-keeper.
It now came to the turn of tart. Justice or l'eace to defend
self against the charge of having *tau& the cuustable; and 'be said
hr thought the const.ble must b.: mistaken.
"'Pray, Sir, are you a resident ut Loudon r Baia Sicliteitiato.
" No, Sir—l am from Wale's," a. plied the Justice sat Peace--
" I ant a Nlagistrate of the county of tnarmartheul and of course the.
last mail in the ivt.sid to snake a-col/stable—lndeed i do nut think
it piKaihie I should strike hint.'
Ihe constable repeated that he did strike him; and that he not
only ;truck himself*, but encouraged otha.rs to strike hint whilst
he was down, by crying " Go it :"
" Really, Siz," said Sir It. Mame, " this was a strange scene for
a conservator or the public peace to take such a part in !"
The conservator an the public peace repeated that he really thought
the constable must be nustaktn; but Sir Mena VD told hint the as-
sault was positively sworn to; and however sort y he night be to
see a Justice of the•Pcace in such a situatiuu, it was his duty to hold
him to bail to answer it at the Sessions.

A Dorms slisraire—A tall Irish Gentleman, of rather bibaci.
out physiognomy, was brought up from the same watch-house,
charged with having assaulted dlr. Kelly, the brother of Mr.
Krely, of Covent Garden Theatre.
sir. Keely was passing through Broad-court. Bow-street, late on
Wednesday night, when the tall Irish Gentleman caw running
after him, and, sazing him by the collar, said—" you little rascal—
you've prigg'd my umbritta 1" and, so sayitig; he shook Mr. Keely
so furiously, that the sleeve of his coat was completely separated
from the body thereof. The tall Irish Gentleman was a total
stranger to Mr. Keely—he had never seen him before, and
therefore he was utterly astonished at this str?uge attack. Just at
that moment, two ocher Gentkmen came up, and seeing Mr.
Keely under the abovententioned • disagreralbe operation, with an
umbrella in his hand, they offered to hold the umbrella for him, in
order that he might the better defend himself. Mr. Keely took
the offer kindly, and having entrusted then with his umbrella,
released himself from the uncomfortable grasp of the tall Irish
Gentle Man, and rave hint in charge to the watchman ; but when
lie looked round torthe.two other Gentlemen, he found they had
bolted with his umbrella. So that it clearly appeared that the tall
Irish Gentleman had mistaken Mr. Keely for a thief, and Mr.
Keely had mistaken two thieves for a couple of Gentkmen.
However, the tall Irish Gentleman afterwards manifested great
Contrition for his mistake I and, as his friends had come fot ward to
remunerate him for the tearing of his coat and the loss of his um•
biella, he did nut wish to prosecute. And therefore the tall Irish
Gantkmatt was discharged.
