The °dicers, Airfield and Vann, stated, that in consequence of
information the, received the night before, from a young girl,
Rachael Carriage, they went to the house of the prisoner, Eta":
betk &kWh, in Seward-street, Bethnal-green, where they found
her in a room with four young Ladies, who admitted they were
there for the purpose of looking into futurity. Accordingly she
was taken with several papers in the room, and brou&kt to this
Office. The papers were filled with mystic figures, by which
she calculated the forecoming of events.
Rachael Carriage, a simple-looking girl, appeared at the bar
as a witness against her. She stated that she was k servant, and
had heard of the fame of Mrs. Smith, which induced her to go
to Seward-street. She paid is. The room was so crowded with
ladies, the witness was obliged to sit on a stool, while the Rs.
poundress of Fate examined the palm of her hand ; and after
deliberating for some time in mystic silence, the Decree of Fate
was pronounced to this artless female—That she would hereafter
become a thief--that she would steal eight shirts from her master,
for which she would be tried and convicted, and would suffer
death, for she was bora to be hung. The terrified girl lu de.

death awaited her, she had no wish to return to her master, but
wandered about, and made up her mind to drown herself—.
From this purpose she was diverted by sisehtchy interference of
her parents, who directed bee to this Mee, where the charm
of a salutary Act of Parliament might break the enchantnomt
of sorcery and soothsaying. .

separated from his wife. Witness being unable to ob-
tain any part of her bill, had sent the children home,

and insisted that there 'was nothing of a heinous or

witnesses had deposed ; and however questions might
