111 teeny Ind Wad as Aim for merry far the sat* of her
tS •• ' Ha *old net tense such an appeal, and with difficulty
sr • ed hti pow, hest, nfined; brother's child home. On reco-
ve from the dreadful agitation of his feeling!, he from the
poor perdeent • girl heard the following detail :—She was care-
lesdr roanting through the fair, when, to all appearance, a re-
spectably dressed lady accosted her, and having entered into,
conversation, gave her cakes, &c. took her into several of the
show-booths, and finally invited her home to tea : then the wily
wretch opened her infamous plans, and, under a promise of very
rich presets% she in a moment of intoxication wax rendered up
a victim to the infamous rapacity of this base woman. Being
then afraid of seeking her uncle or friends, she knew not what to
do, and was persuaded to seek a base subsistence by prostitution ;
she deathbed the many revoking scenes of vice towbich she was
a witness, and also the enormous charges made on her for board
and dress, and to defray those charges.die was sent out by.her
unfeeling keeper, and when she was met by her uncle, she w is
endeavouring to overcome the natural modesty of her sex, ROt
being thoroughly versed in the necessary qualities observed by
the tnhiv experienced prostitute. The applicant said, in con-
clusion, that his object in bringing her was to seek advice how
he should act. .
The girl was In tears, and laid her face during the recital, and
skewed by her loud subs that she, when too late, was convinced
of the folly of rejecting the advice of her real and more expe-
rienced friends

The Kigi4trate said he could not do anything: if she was
again guilty of theft, she should be brought to this Office.
The applicant said he should attend to this advice, and also
observed he would proceed against the base woman who had
been the means of his niece's destruction.

Quests-Sul:sat—A tradesman residing in Crown-street, West-
minster. was bmught up, at the instance of his wife, for 'salting
her. The complainant stated, that she had been married to the
defendant only tett months. On the 433 September she had
taken out a• warrant against him for kicking het shins; but,
thinking he would alter his conduct, and. be sociable, she did not
cause it to be oxecuted,:but he having again 'salted her, she•had
/dm apprehencled.—The Magistrate asked her to state on what
day she had been 'salted, or rathermsaulted ?—She blushed. and
hesitatingly said, she only wanted her husband to be sociable
The defendant said, his wife was a most capricious woman, and
he was at a loss to know for what he had been brought up: She
had everything she wished for; they certainly had had a few
words on account of her whims. She would, whibt he was at
work, blow out the candles I and, while in the dark. take the
opportunity of blowing him up: at other times she would drag the
chair from under him, and, in fact, he had no peace I
The complainant replied, a Why don't you be sociable then,
and act like a husband—that's all I want ?"
The Magistrate discharged the warrant, and advised the hus-
band to take her home, and be sociable. They then left the office,

TOWN-MALL, SOUTHWARIL--. Elizabeth Vian, between 19. and
20 years of age, Henry Hancock, about 50 years of age, th,t ad-
mirer of the Lady, and Mr. Thomas Vian, the father of the
Lady, about 60 years of age, appeared before the Magistrate.
The Alderman•made repeated inquiries of each of them, as to
the nature of th-lr application, before he could get an answer;
till at last the young Lady said to Mr. Henry Hancock, " You
tell the Gentleman what we want."

Mr. Hancock then said—That young woman and myself wish
to be married. I have got ber father to give his consent, and the
young woman says she has no objection to marry me, if I can
make her my lawful wife ; so, your Worship, I have applied to
you for an affidavit.

Alderman SMITH —lf you will go to the Chief Clerk, he Will
fill up the affid ivit, and I will swear you to the truth of it.
Hancoek—l have been married, Sir.
Alderman—l should suppose so. You must say you are a
widower in the affidavit then.

;Hiss Vian—You had better state to his Worship, about your
not being sure of your wife being dead. .
Hancock—Why, your Worship, I was married about four-
teen years ago ; my wife and I did not agree, and so we parted ;
she went off from me, and I went off to India, in the service of
the East Ind a Company. I afterwards entered into his Ma-
jesty's service, and nine years have elapsed since I have seen my
wife. On my return to England, I was informed that my wife
was dead.

Alderman—Did you write to your wife while you was away,
or have you inquired about her since your return?
Hancock—No, your Worship, I did not ; I was told she was
dead, and that satisfied me, for I did not want to see her ; but.
I have no doubt of her being dead.
Alderman—The young woman, if she married you, would
have a hopeful prospect ; for if your wife is alive, you wouli ba
liable to he tried for bigamy, and transported; and any children
you might have by this young woman would be bastards, and
she could not compel you to support her.
Miss Vian—l cannot think of marrying, unless your Worship
says there is no impediment.
Hancock (much agitated)—l am sure my wife is dead.
Alderman—You had better advertise her, and if you cam dis-
cover where she died and was buried, then you can legally marry ;
but, after what you have admitted, I must decline swearing
your affidavit. You cannot swear that you are a widower, and
the Act requires that you must give a description of yourself ;
you must say you are a bachelor or a widower. But what does
the father of this young woman say to the match?
Mr. Vian—l know Mr. Hancock to be an industrious man ;
he is able to support my daughter, and she has no objection to
marry him, provided she can become his lawful wife; and I
have no objection to the match, if his wife is dead.
Alderman—Well, I advise you to discover where the woman
died, and then I shall have no objection to give the affidavit.
Miss Vian then declared, that she would not marry without
complete proof of the demise of Mr. Hanenek's first wife.

.
Alderman SMITH said, that the new Marriage Act had been
of lame service, for he heliored but fur an affidavit being re-
quired. the young woman would have been sacrificed to the ap-
plicant, Hancock, who probably had a wife alive.
Mrs. Catherine Alicock was charged by a respectable trades-
man, (both residing in the Borough-road), with kicking up a
row before his liouse, and charging him with improper rand.
liarhies with other women, while he had an honest pains-taking
wife at home !—Mrs. A. was ordered to be quiet, and find bail.
Taaxas Pouca,-,-.Tauses Connaway was yesterday brought up
for re-examination, charged by WilHim Modd, of the ship
Friends, lying in the Sum:), Canal, with robbing him of eight
sovereigns and 13s. _ .

Moda stated, that on Thursday last he received his wages,
amounting to 10!. 13s. V. 13s. of which he locked in his chest,
and the other 21. he took on shore, and did not return to the
ship again till Friday morning, when he found that the chest
had been broke open, and the money stolen; the prisoner hid
been on board in the interval.

Mrs. Needham stated, that the prisoner was a lodger of her's,
and that he left her eight sovereigns before he went out on Fri-
day morning last ; and he bought a watch of her. She had no
idea of the suvercigns being stolen.—Committed for trial.
marra-rrarev.—A talkative little Irishman was brought up
from St. George's Watch-house in the East, where he had been.
confined since the preceding night, charged with cutting his son's
head open with a quart pot, cruelly beating his wife, and break-
ing all the furniture.

The prisoner's son, a stripling of very decent exterior and good
address, appeared with a dreadful wound on the side of the head,
which, he said, was inflicted by his father without the least pro-
vocation, and that this was not the first time he had so treated him.
The wife, who was a little woman equally loquacious as her
husband, then came forward, and having made half a dozen curt-
sies to his Worship, pulled off her little old black bonnet, in order
the better to expose to view an awful pair of black eyes. Having
thus divested her rapid, she placed a hand on each eye and ex-
claimed " See here, your Houour. what • the brute Paddy has
done !" She forthwith took from a basket the broken dial and
fragments of a wooden clock, which she said was the handy-work
of Paddy, for that he had " shatterbd to tr thousapd pieces every
stick and crockery ware in the house, even the bedstead."
Pat, who was standing at the bar, at this staged the business,
threw himself oat his knees and implored mercy. saying ids wife
