Qum; KUM. —About three weeks ago Lady
Caroli!:e Paget, the daughter of the Marquis of An-
ilesea, had her watch and its appendages stolen from
her side, while she was in ()He of the boxes at the
Opera. It was a mist valuable enamelled watch, set
in pearls, with a gold Venetian chain and u.rquoise
gasp, with amethyst seals, key, Stc. When her La.
dyship misted her watch, she suspected a female who
had been in the box which she and the party with
ho were in ; and Lavender had a description of her
person given him, but she could not be found. The
nest day bills were printed, describing the watch, and
one of them was left at the shoptd Mr. Reibileson,
pawn=broker in the Boiough, but a few hour, after it
had been pledged. Mr. Robinson gave Wax-ma:jou 1,
to Lavender, and yesterday the person who pawned
it was brought op in his custody and examined.--
Mary UP, a washing and charing woman, who lives
in'the Borough. was the person who pawned the
watch.—Mr. FIELPINti asked her to account to him ,
how she came in possession of it
She said she was in the habit of scouring blankets
for a L *sly for a considerable times about three
weeks ago she came to her house and said she should
send her some work, and. asked her if she would take
a watch tot her to a watch-maker's to know what lie
would charge for repairing it; she said she would,
and was going to take it, when she said that instead
of having it repaired she would pawn it, and she
should be able to raise sufficient upon it. although it.
was out of repair. She asked her to take it to a
piwnbroket's, and ask six pounds upon it, which she
did, and took a neighbour, Sarah Grimes, with her
to Mr. Robinson's, and received /26 upon it ; when
they returned the Lady gave her a shilling for going.
She did 11,1 know the name of the Lady. or where
she lived, that she had taken a great deal of trouble
to fluid her unt, but had been unsuccessful ; she had
been about the 11.. itch Prison and the Rules, as she
believed that she lived them.

Mr. FiEtotsc. said, it was somewhat singu!ar that
she should have done washing and other work lot a
cunsiderahle time for a person whose name or sesi-
sidence she did iict know.—She still persisted that
she did not know either her name or residence.

ivLay Grimes sworn—She said that she went about
three weeks ago to Mr. Robinson, in company with
Mary Still, to pawn a hatch ; she had no knowledge
of the person uho gave it to Mrs. :kill to pledge.
Mr. FivLbilqG asked how she came to go with her
to pawn the watch —She said that. Mrs. Suit asked
her to •go.—The Matquis's steward said, that her
!Ladyship would be glad the watch was found, and
he hoped Mr. Fielfing would dispose of the prisoners
in• the way lie thought best to lead to the discovery
of the person who stole it.
Mr. FIELDING said he would do all in-his power,
but it could not be supposed that the prisoners conid
have tat. en its they had net the appearxnce.of per-
sons frequenting the Opera, and he was inclined to
believe the story of Mary Still. 1-I,wever, he should
discharge them upon their being forthcoming at the
nest examination, arc, tiii then every exertion to dis-
cover the person should be made.
