BOW-STREET.

Thome: Brewer, alias 7onsas ;Varna Montgomery, was yesterday
morning placed at the liar, charged with an offence we cannot
de,cr

Witnc4ses having been beard, the prisoner was desired to give
24 hours' notice of bail, himself in the sum of 2001. and two surcties
in the sum of 3001.

We understand that the Gentlemen whose names were nn Mon.
day banded in as sureties for Mr. Charles Griudell, have since de-
clined giving bail.

A young Gentleman, a midshipman belonging to one of his
:[Majesty's vessels, came to complain of the conduct of the London
Carrier Company, who engaged to convey to Woolwich his sea
chest and bed for 4s. but afterwards refused to perform their con-
tract, unless he paid them an additional half-crown.—The Clerk of
the Company attended, for the purpose, as be said, of assuring the
Magistrate, that every thing was perfectly fair and proper on the
part of the Company ; in proof of which he produced a prospectus,
by which it appeared that the Company limited the distance to
which they conveyed property to five miles from Temple. bar ; and
as Woolwich happened to be beyond that distance, he conceived
that be was not obliged to perform the cnutract, although he ad.
nutted that the complainant had paid the 4s. on the express under-
standing that his chest and bed should be conveyed to Woolwich.

Mrs HALLS immediately directed the defendant to perform his
undertaking, observing that if the Company had many such servants
to conduct their affairs, their ruin wa, not far distant.

Henrietta Anna Jones, a rather pretty young woman, was brought
from St. Ann's watch-house, on the charge of robbing a Gentleman,
who gave his name Barangem, but who declined making his appear-
ance at the office to substantiate the charge.
Sir G. FAIMANT having asked her what she had to say? she re-
plied, that the Gentleman accused her from a spiteful motive; that
he was the one that personated the " Hammersmith Ghost" some
years since, and through which joke her aunt was shot ; that he was
in the habit of visiting a young woman who lodged in the same
house with herself; that on one occasion be wanted to take improper
liberties with her, which she resented; that on Monday night be
abused her, and gave her in charge for rubbing him, as he said,
six weeks ago.

Sir G. Fiaamir told her, if her story was true, she could pro-
secute him for false imprisonment, for not attending to make good
his charge. The prisoner was then discharged.

strutting him in his duty.—lt appeared that Mr. Vitris had been
dining with four Gentlemen, and was taking leavp of them at the

MARY-LA-BONNE.

Yesterday, Mr. Azten, a Buckinghamshire lace-manufacturer,
came to make good bis claim to who: of lace, which had been lost
and found under the following..4ingular circumstances :

As Sarah Williams, an elderly female, was;aiiiiigalong Oxford.
street, one evening last week, an old woman, whom she never saw
before, asked her to take care of a bag for a few minutes. Mrs.
Williams consented; but as the old woman did not return, it was
brought to this office. In it was found a box, containing upwards
of forty pieces of thread lace, and a miscellaneous collection of
wearing apparel.—The publicity given to the circumstance by the
daily Papers soon apprised the owner of its fate.
It appealed by the evidence given yesterday, that the woman
who left the bag is employed by Mr. Axten, of Amer ham, to tra.
vel with his lace as a hawker, and she assigned sudden illness as a
reason for leaving it in the care of a stranger.

Mr. Gareorrks congratulated Mr. Asten on his good fortune
that the lace had fallen into such honest bands; and after recom-
mending that Sarah Williams should be rewarded for her lante~ty,
which Mr. Aiten promised to do, the lace was restored to him.
