BOW.STREET.—For some time past, complaints have
been made of robberies by daring gangs of pickpockets
in the day time, in the public sweets; also at churches,
chapels, and meetings, particularly at St. George's,

Lcnt, when numerous congregations assemble to hear
Dr. Hodgson. The Countess of Aylesford, and se•
teal other ladies of distinction having been robbed
f•ere, mentioned the circumstance to Townsend the
officer. The Countdss of A ylcsford said she had no

Wr 'Mt IN ST Ith S ESSIon.--Yesteiday Miss Seark,aio
Ecc. was charged with defrauding several piano..
frirtemakers of different instruments.. It appeared,',
that the trades People parted with the instruments on
the faith of the prisoner,,and they were packed and
to different parts of the country; agreeably to her
eiders. She described herself as the relative of those
'n whom the instruments were sent, and in every case
'hey produced a letter in two or three days after they
bad rooked at the instruments, which letter purported
In have been written in the cottntry, and expressing
satisfaction at the price. The evidence was very de-
fltk.e, inasmuch as there was no hand-writing
proved, tor any person to prove the false pretences.--
Acquitted.

had rxarly thrown down the prosecutor's horse.—
Whips were freely used on both sides ; but some
doubt eristed as to who was the first aggressor, the
defendant was therefore acquitted.

ILIo. It appeared, that the prosecutrix, who is A
r:,tiee of Deienshire, had been brought to town by

being her, and treating her with great severity ; on
the 9th of June she beat her, cut her face, and turned
oat of deers, giving her only a 7s. piece and a loaf,
to take her to Exeter. Some neighbours interfered,
and she was prevailed on to take her into the house
arain ; but the next day she repeated liar cruelties,
her, bit her cheek, cut her face most desperately,,
tnd turned her out of doors. The Jury found her
Guilty ; and the Court sentenced her to pay a fine
