GUILDHALL

A waiter at the New Post Office Coffee-house, in St. Martin's-
le-Grand, was charged with embezzling one shilling, which he had
received from a customer in the Coffee-room, and information was
given to the master (Mr. Williams) by a person who was sitting ini
the room, and who repeatedly noticed the same conduct. Mr.
Williams told the prisoner to go into an adjoining room, and as
soon as an officer arrived, he was searched, and seven shillings were,
found, in his pockets. Mr. W. desired him to pull off bis shoes,
but he refused. The officer made the same request with as little
effect, and the prisoner made a violent resistance whin the Officer.
attempted to take the shoes off by force. In them, however, was'
found 16s. Waiver, and on searching his boz,Z.l. 10s. in diver, 16s.

130 W.—STREET.

Goon Farnao.—Yesterday being a day act apart in all Christian
countries for religious worship, this Office was of course closed, ex-
cept for an boor before Church.time, when Sir It/CHARD BIRMIR
sat to dispose of all the night charges, of which there were only
four. Among the prisoners was Mary .dnn Pearar,the unfortunate
female with whom the public are so intimate under the title of
Lady Barrynsore. The complaint against her Ladyship was pre-
ferred by Mrs. Judith Solonions, wife of Samuel Solomons, a
fruiterer, for having, by force and arms, endeavoured to deprive
het of goods and money.
It appeared that the prisoner bad gone to the complainant's ithop
on the p• evious night, and in the most boisterous manner demanded
some oranges and some money. Mrs. Solomon', under the influ-
ence, as she said, of terror banded her some of the best oranges in
the shop, and a shilling ; but with these Lady Barrymore was not
satisfied. She presently became outrageous, and killer rage tum-
bled carefully piled heaps of oranges, together with the other fruits
placed for show in the window, about the floor, and would have
fallen foul of Mrs. Solonionsherself, big for the interposition of the
watchman, who espying her Ladyship, entered the shop, and after
a desperate struggle, in which be had his eye discoloured by a thrust
of her Ladyship s clenched fist, conveyed her to the watchhouse.
Sir lircnoen, to the Clerk—l chink, Mr. Woods, that this is a
transportable offence. It would really be a blessing if this ttnkappy
being were sent out of the country.
Lady Barrymore—Aye, transportation if you like. I know, Sir
Richard, I need expect no lenit) at your hands.
After sense consultation as to the nature of the evidence, the
Magietrate said he feared he should be obliged to take the cue Under
the Wilful Damage Act.
Mrs. Solomans--I beseech yotir Worship so transport bee, so that
she may never come near me again—(A laugh).
Lady Barrymore-- Well, it will only be for seven years if be does,
and then Fit come back and tear your eyes out, and pull your house
down about your ears. She would hare suited the action to the
word but for Ford the gaoler, who seized /air .by the. arms, and
prevented her from doing so. . . -

Ford said that she had only obtained her liberty on Thursday.
Several publicans, whose windows she had 'gnashed, now came
forward and made their charges.
Sir Bunsen—Will you satisfy these people for the damage you
have done?
Lady Barrymore—rd see you and them at the first. .
She was then committed for three months.
WORSHIP STREET.
Thursday Henry James was charged with a burglary in the hoes;
of Mr. Wood, in Long-alley, Worship-street. It appeared that
between two and three that morning, a watchman, named •Boi.
_land. saw swo men coming from the alley, and secured one of
them (the prisoner). It was afterwards_ discovered that Mrs
Wood's house had been broken open, and robbed of 15 pair of
boots, 1Y pair of shoes, and five- silver spoons; a dark, lantern,
crow bar, and other burglarious Instruments, Matins[ tbequisoner,
were produced. The -man who escaped was .supposed to -have
had part of the plunder in his possession.—Mr. Twrroms re!
mended the prisoner.
Three Incorrigible young thieves, about 11 years of age, name!
Bartley, Radford, and Ellis, who have been frequently in custody
on charges of robbery, were charged with breaking into the apart,
ment of a labouring man, and stealing his waistcoat and coat.
Strong circumstances of suspicion were stated against them, and
they were remanded.
LAM BETH—STREET.

John Brain, a watchman belonging to the parish of St. Mary,
Whitechapel, and dome his wife, were 'on Thursday last brought up
on a warrant, by Dalton, and placed at the bar, before M. Weave,
Esq to answer a Charge of assault preferred against them by Janet
Pherson, a woman of the town.
On being sworn, Janet, whu spoke in a broad Scotch accent, com-
menced ber accusation by saying that the watchman had deluded
her away from her own lodgings, in Liniehouse; and sold her to an
old man. whom he and his wife prevailed upon her to marry.
Mr. Weatv—l don't see bow he could well do that without
your consent.
Janet—They got hold of me while I was in a fit of Intoxication :
it was then I did it, and they put me to bed to Mr. Cox, in one of
their own rooms.
Mr. WYATT—Who is Mr. COI?

Janet—Why my husband, Sir. He is gone away to sea. It was
molt shameful to marry me to him; he is old enough to be my
grandfather.

Mr. We Arr--Were you drunk all the time of the courtship?
Janet, with due Scottish reservation, replied that she would not
take it upon herself to deny but she was.
Mr. WeAre—What was you before this marriage took place?
Janet—An Unfortunate Lady.
Mr. Wearr—Or, in other words, a prostitute.
Janet did not deny the application of the term, but said that be
never took Gentlemen to her private lodgings.
Mr. Wears—That certainly is a nice distinction. You have since
lodged at the house of this very faithful preserver of the public
morals? Janet-1 did, Sir.
Mr. WrArr.—Well, he was not so particular. He had no ob.•
jection to your bringing your paramours to his house ; and he knew
of it, I suppose?
Janet—To be sure he did, Sir. He knew I get my living in the
streets; and when the old Gentleman, Mr. On, vied to come to
see me, he, the watchman, used to bring in the gin and water, I
paid him seven shillings a week, and because I could not pay bins
more he beat me.

Mr. Wrarr—lle is a most accomplished scoundrel. The virtues
of the watchmen are coming to light every day. I knew they were
the self-appointed patrons of these wrenched women, and that they
extort sums of money from them • but I was not before aware that;
they actually kept brothels, which, I &appose, for the future, will
be considered a necessary attribute of their office. Partridge, what
parish does this fellow belong to?
Partridge—Ti ours, Sir.
Mr. Wearr—Where is his beat?
Partridge—He's stationed on yours, Sir. He is your watchman.
(Loud laughter).
Mr. Wyarr—Upon my word I was not before sensible of the
meritorious character under whose care my person and property
were nightly placed; but we must get rid of him.
Mr. Wake, the overseer, said, he attended to heir what'were the
facts of the case; and Mr. Wyatt might be assured, that on that
night a report should be made to the Watch Committee, who, he
bad no doubt, would dismiss this man.
Mr. WYATT then discharged the cotoplaint, telling Janet, that. If
she was not satisfied with the punishment of the offender, she might
indict him at the Sessions.
