CUT LT)11 A 11..—,fusie Jaques. accused with stabbing
James Bidwell, who was entrusted to her care to
riiirse, was brought up again on Thursday before the
Alderman, when the deposition of her son, whO was
apprehended by warrant, threw a light upon the
whole affair.
Tiiis young man, whose name is Charles Jaques,
stated that he retired to bed on Sunday evening at
nine o'clock, and was awoke about two hours after..
wards by his- mother who had been nut, and coming .'
home tipsey, she Made a considerable noise.He
called to her to be quiet and to suffer him to sleep,
in order that he might be able to go to his work in
the morning. S)ie was considerably irritated at this,,,
and an altercation ensiled, 'which terminated toh her.,
taking op a.poker with intent to chastise her son.—
liehowever wrested this instrument.but of her hand,
ppon which she ran towards a table that stood in the
• TO 'm, on which lay a knife -that had been used for
killing pigs, but which they Used- as acarvin-g knife, this+
she seized. and with the utmost fury threw it at wk-
ness. Instead, however, of hitting him it penetrated
the blankets and entered young Bidwell's thigh' who
was at that tine in bed. The child cried our o I am'
out," and on the•clothes being turned down,'Ptlie bed
was bathed with blood.' Witness then awakened his
'tither, by whom he was directed-to go for Bidwell,
sea, and the child was conveyed to the hospital. - 1
Thus story was ciptroborated by two of the Officers
who. had been to see the child in St., Bartholomew's
r hospital;—they stated the relation;of Os witness and
l • that of the wounded boy, exactly corresponded.
_ Sir Wittiaat Cuans eapwssed himselt perfectly
satisfied with the statement Of. the witness, and di-
iected that the woman should' be conveyed back to
• ..
prison, there to remain until the child is sufficiently
recovered to be able to give his deposition.
Early on Thursday morning, the house of Mrs.
White, a laundress, at Heston, between Hounslow
and Soutliwell, was broken open, and robbed of a
large quantity of valuable lint n. The discovery was
made by a servant man in the employ of the Earl of
Jersey going for some clean linen belonging to the
family. An alarm was given, and information sent
to Mr. Cook, the chief constable, who resides near the
;pot ; and there being every reason to believe that
the robbers had but just left the house, he rode off to.
the turnpikes, and inquired W any suspicious persons.
had passed through ? and i n being informed in
negative, he sent an express for Smith, one of ,
Bow-istreet patrol:. In the evening they and. several,l
other men attendtd ac Hounslow to watch, particu-",
lady a house kept by one Newton, who sells fish.—
' ,41.hout 10 o'clock two men with large bundles, cams'
• +Out of the house, whom they secured, after a despo.
rate resistance. On examining the bundles, they(
provea to contain part of the property- stolen from;
tilrs. White's house. On their persons they found al
loaded pistol, several knives, and some pieces of black'
•crtspe. Af;er securing them, the officers went to the
hhnufe of Newton, and found nearly the whole of the
remainder of the property which had been stolen from,
..Mrs. White's, which induced them to take Newton'
.also into custody. • Yesterday they were takes tot
tow.itreet Office, and underwent an examination,
when Major Bird, of the .West Middlesex Militia, I
entered the office by chance, just as the examination
oes about to close, and recognized the two men de- I
te. ted withthe bundles,named Andrews and Symonds,
to be deserters from his regiment ; also that Newton
.bad formerly belpnged to the regimen.. The priso.
_ ',suers were committed for further examination. i
' . Yesterday Wm. George, a pauper, labouring under i
..s• paralytic affection of his left side, and who had
made his escape from Edmonton Workhouse, was
charged, at Guildhall, with having stolen a pair of
shoes from a shop in Holborn. He pleaded neces-
sity, to which the worthy Alderman (Sir W. Cvarts)
replied, by asking what had made him run away from
the workhouse and expose himself to that necessity ?'''
He made no answer, and was ordered to Bridewell
for a month, to receive the correction of the house
at his going in and coming out, and then to be sent
back to his parish workhouse.
Mr. Gayton, the proprietor of one of the Edmon-
ton stages, which he drives himself, again came up.
The complaint against him, and the cause of the
- hearing being deferred to this day, were stated in our
:..paper of Thursday. Mr. G. being prepared with his
witnesses, Air W. Comas told him that lie was con-
, srinced from the evidence which the officers themselves
' had given that they had gone considerably beyond
their duty. He would, therefore, insist, if Mr. G.
( who, he supposed, came there as an honest English.
man, in defence of himself, and not for the purposes
of revenge) would agree to it, that they should mat•
him a most ample and humble apology. To this Mi
G. said, that although he had sustained considerable
• • loss, yet he was perfectly contented with an apology.
Sir W. Coitus then called Brown, theofficer, whom
Mr.-G. had accused of striking him when on the box
~f his coach, and told him that the Magistrates
the City of London were at ail times really to pro-
tect their officers, as they were bound t0,,d0, but in'
this instance they bad overstepped the hounds of their
duty. arrocessiops of all kinds were sufficiently great
obstructions to the public, without their being rest-
- ,dered more so ;'at the same time a piper respect

and Smith should make Mr. G. a most ample apts-
. logy. The officers said they
.had ally • tone their
duty ; on which Mr. G.'s witnesses (a Lady and
two &Gentlemen, of very respectable appearance)
