UNtou-nata..—Yesterday a gentleman, who stated
his name to be Clover. and that he was the husband
of the celebrated performer of that name, appeared
before the Magistrate, having, at the same time;
hold of a lovely and interesting, litile girl, whose
hand he firmly grasped. The cuild was fashionably
dressed, and her other band war in the possession of
A female of respectable appearance, who appeared
determined to retain the possession of it. Mr. Glover
stated that his wife had absented herself from his so-
ciety, and taken %salt her his two children.; and that
he had long been endeavouring to discover the place
of their abode, for the purpose of reclaimag his ff-
spring. He had been in France for three years, du:.
lag which time his wife had run him considerably in ..
debt. Yesterday, as he was going alosig St. Martin's.
lane, be observed his daughter in the care of the
young woman who had now come w:t'i hien, and
who was servant to Mrs. Clover. He insisted that li:s
little girl should be delivered up to Lim, but the ser-
vant would aot comply, and kept tact hold of the
child's hand. He now lived in Hercules-buildings,
Lambeth, to which place it was :cis intention to con-
duct the child ; but finding that die determination of
the servant was not to be shaken, he had though&
proper to bring the subject under the consideratiou of
the Magistrates ; and be hoped that they would or
der his daughter to he delivered to him. The servaq
(a young women about 19 years of age,) stated, that
she had been sent by her mistress (Mrs. Glover,) to
Fiueliley, for the young lady in question. Complai-
nant met her in St. Martin's-lane, and demanded
that the child should be given up to him ; but as she
had been sent expressly by her tnistiess. she did hot
thrall-that she would be guided by a proper sense of
duty it she delivered her daughter to any other per-
ion than her mistress. The complainant had mado
several attempts to remove Mrs. Glover's children
from under her protection. Mrs. Glover entirely top.
ported the children; and witness was determined not
to relinquish her young lady until ahe lost the parer
of holding her. -Magistrate (Serjeant SettoN)
said, that he bad no jatisdiceon over the case. 11,
however, Mrs. Goeasienot a proper person to have
she charge of the children, Mr. G. might move fo: a
writ of Habeas Coves, and have them produced In
a superior Court, where the proper authorities wou!d
determine the case. The parties then withdrew, each
claimant of the lovely.child keeping a firm grasp of
thehand of which they bad severally possessed them-
selves. The object at their contention was much af-
fected, and her Leers filmic the while of the .
