POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MA HSION- HOUSE.
A lady, Most fashionably attired, and possessing charms of no
ordinary description, appear in the Justice-room to request that
the Lord Mayor would good enough to swear her to the truth
of the contents of a paper which Me held la her band.
The Loan MAYOR, after perusing the paper, observed to the
female, why, you accuse yourself of adultery. What can be your
motive for so 'extraordinary a charge against yourself? Have you
had any advice upon this matter ?
An elderly gentleman, who accompanied the fair applicant to
the Justice-room, stated to the Lord blayarthat he was acquainted
with the circumstances, and that the andavk was considered ne-
cessary.
The lady begged mostearoestly that eke might be allowed to
swear—" Do permit me, my Lord," said she, " to take my oath
of the truth of it."
The Lome Maroa—Why, amongst other thing', you swear that
you have been guilty of 'Acidity to your husband, and you also
charge another parson with having counselled you to do so.
cannot think of doing anything of the kind.
The statement in the paper was, we understand, to the Mowing
elect :—The Lady, who is about 23 or £4 years of age, was mar.
rjed a short time ago teen honest man, a asechank. She had had
a female friend, with whom she bad been on terms of the greatest
intimacy, and on whose honour she bad placed the greatest re-
liance. A Gentleman with whom this female friend was intimate,
however, thought proper to pay her very close attention, and at last
made proposals to her of a description not at all equivocal : be, in
fact, proposed, that she should pus a whole night with him. To
this proposition she felt all the repugnance natural to a woman of
virtue ; but in came her false friend, and used all her arts of per-
suasion to induce her to accept of the invitation. After repeated
solicitations from those two assailants, she at last yielded, and her
virtue became, to use the language of the paper, "as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal." The remorse she felt at this aban-
donment of duty was not alleviated by the conduct of her female
friend. It was not to deny or to palliate this error the applicant
desired to make Adults of what had taken place with respect to
the vile female alluded to, but to give so great a wretch a fair abare
of the odium.
The LORD 'Mayas thought the request a most monstrous one.
He could not see how any woman in her senses could consent to
destroy het own character for ever, for the purpose of proving that
another person had acted treacherously.
The Lady said that she certainly could not deny the charge of
cries. can. but she considered the false friend worse, who first en
couraged and then betrayed her.
The Loan MA vox—Weil, there shall be no oath taken before
me in this matter. I would have you to go home to your husband,
and act to him in future in such a manner as shall lead him to sup-
pose that there has been no foundation for the report.
The Lady reluctendy and discontentedly retired, having first
coverri bee face with her veil.
