a H father iris a wealthy .farmer, residing at. OwesburY, in the
county of Hints ; she had an aunt in London, who kept the Blatt
'Bull Inn, Aldgate (a Mrs. Nelson), who sent for her to assist in the
house as bar-maid ; but in consequence of repeated ill-usage she
had left it, and since bad subsisted on some money she had.brought

the late Lottery ; but, notwithstanding this wealth, it seemed she
was compelled to come to London in search of a bar-maid's place.

been robbed-a fevt nights back of five sovereigns, and several aril-
cies of vreaging apparel, which were taken from her by three men
on the roadlretween Islington and London. She had not tasted
food for three entire days. For the truth of this statement, she re-
ferred the fiociery's officers to Mr. James Brownjohn, of the White
Hart Tavern, Hammersmith.
The MAGISTRATE, under aU the circumstances of the case, said
that he felt himself authorised in committing the prisoner to the
House of Correction, until the Mendicity Society, which had al-
rehdy so humanely exerted itself in her behalf, should have advised
with the young woman's friends as to her ultimate disposal
