GUILDHALL—Ho:7 Stent, the unfortunate young
man, whose unhappy situation appears to have exci-
ted such general interest and commiseration, was
brought up again yesterday before the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, Mr. Alderman ROTHWELL. On his being
placed at the bar, Mr. Paine, the Clerk, said, he had
caused the necessary inquiry to be made at St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, and had received a certificate
of the situation of Mrs. Stent's health, which he read
as follows :

" Tnis is to certify that Mrs. Stent Is improving fact The
wounds are nearly healed, and I have no doubt but that in a
lex days I ►hall be able to pronounce her out of dancer.

" H. Ilmwrcr.., Hour: Surgeon.

" St Bartholomew's Hospital, a)."
Under these circumstances he conceived it would
be necessary to remand the prisoner until the wife
was in a condition to attend at the Office, and give
her deposition ; in the interim the chain of evidence
might he rendered more complete, by the examina-
tion of the other waiter, and the porter, who carried
the letter to the post, whom he had desired to ettend.
George King, a waiter at the Saracen's Head, was
then examined. Ile stated that he attended Mrs.
Stent on her arrival at die inn, !.hewed her into a
back-room usually appropriated to passengers, there
she ordered breakfast and a sheet of p:li,er to r. rite a
letter; she did so, and desired him to send the por-
ter to take it to the post : lie complied with her di-
rections, and nothing further occurred till the arrival
of Mr. Stent, at about half an hour past six. Wit-
ness wa.. the first person that saw him ; lie inquired
if there was a young woman there who came by the
coach from Liverpool ? Witne's replied in the af-
firmative, and sheaved him into the room to hvr :
there was no one else in the room hut herself. Oa
his opening the door, Mrs. Stent, who was sitting in
a far part of the room, immediately rose from her
scat, and came to meet her husband. Witness heat d
nothing that passed then, for he shut the door directly
• and retired. He then proceeded to state, that he
heard the shrieks in common with his fellow-servants,
and tan to their assistance. He saw no blow struck,
but observed the bloody knife lying on the floor. He
• also corroborated the other witnesses in their account
of the expressions of self-accusation which fell from
Mrs. Stent. He left the parties in care of his fellow.
!ervauts, and went to the Compter for an officer.—
The porter who took the letter was not in attendance;
hut King said, all that he knew was, that he took the
:otter from Mrs. Stent, tizo asked him if he thought
it would be delivered that night?
Mr. Alderman Royals. !Lt., addressinm the prisoner,
said—" My poor man, I feel for your unhappy situa-
tion exceedingly, and in order to prevent your feelings
from being harassed, as they must be, by being tans
frequently brought up, I shall remand you till Sa-
turday, by which time, probably, your wife will be
well ecoogli t. attend, and make her deposition, and
this unfortunate and distressing affair, as far as the
Magistrate is concerned, be finally closed."
The prisoner maintained his usual composure
throughout; but his brother, who stood near him,;
was greatly affected, and at the commencement of
the Alderman's address, burst into a flood of tears.

Such general interest has this unhappy affair ex-
cited, that a considerable crowd was assembled in
the Guildhall-yard before 11 o'clock in the morning,
the Justice-room was filled with pet-soils of respecta-
bility, and the outer doors of the Office were obliged
to be kept shut during the examination, to prevent
furthet inconvenience. ' The prisoner was conveyed
from and to the Compter in a coach, accompanied by
his brother and his cousin.

Ann Fanner, the virago, who underwent examina-
tion on Tueday last, upon the charge of desperately
assaulting her infirm husband, in Chancery-lane, the
preceding evening, was again brought up by Turner,
the constable, who stated that the man had been re•
moved to the Hospital, where he had been to inquire
respecting his present situation that morning. His
wounds had been examined by the surgeon ; that on
the head was ofthe most consequence; but although
exceedingly severe, no fracture of the bone had taken
place; axed the man, if not otherwise prevented by
the rheumatic gout, with which be was dreadfully af-
flicted. would be able to make his appearance to-
morrow (this day)—The prisoner was accordingly
remanded till that time.

Bow-sxitivr.---Yesterday the examination of the
persons in cuf.rody on suspicion of having committed
robberies and depredations at West-End Fair was at
length finally concluded ; when Bre°Acs, Burke, and
Erne were discharged, no positive charge being
established against them. Previously to their being
liberated, they received a suitable admonition from
Mr. limits, the presiding Magistrate, for the impro-
priety cf their conduct, under the circumstances they
had been found in at West-End Fair. A printed
copy of the Resolutions agreed upon at a meeting ci
the District Magistrates, fur the abolition and sup-
pression of the Fair in future was hatcled to the Ma-
gistrate.

MAN.tos House.—A yonng fellow, named Bar- ,11
ho has been very often before the Lord Mayor
upon charges of felony, which, as they were made
by the prisoner's father and mother, and brother, his
Lordship was reluctant to have established, yester-
day was brought up for having robbed his brother of
a watch. The plaintiff said that all the admonitions
of the Chief Magistrate had been completely thrown
away upon the 'depraved prisoner, who upon ever)
opportunity pursued his old habits of robbing his re-
lations. The only way of affording him a chance of
escaping the gallows was, in the witness's opinion,
by sending him to the Old Bailey to take his trial for
this offence, which would subject him, if convicted,
to transportation. A pawnbroker stated, that the
prisoner pledged at his shop the watch, which the
complainant said his brother had.stolenTrorn him.—
The LORD MAYOR addressed the prisonei upon his
offence, and called upon him to witness thewretched
situation of his mother, who stood in a corner of the
Justice Room in tears. Nis Lordship feared there
was no other alternative but proseCution, but was
evidently unwilling to send one brother against ano-
ther into a Court of Justice.—Prisoner remanded.

A gigantic woman, named Ile!man' who, as she
'
intimated upon her examination, would have no ob-
jection to fight a man, and whose face proved that
she was accustomed to exercise of that kind, was
chiaged with having beaten a poor woman of mode-
[rata sac black and blue. The ;assault was said to

have been committed without provocatic,

think of insulting her. Miss Ilteeman

on the side of the head. Before
to interfere, she gave her another
