A SINQULAR CHARACTEILOn Tuesday, the 28th
of May, died at her house, No. 12, Coldbath-square,
at the very advanced age of 116 years, Mrs. Jane
Lewson, commonly called Lady Lewson, from the
very eccentric manner of her dress. In recording this
instance of unusual longevity, some account of her
may not, perhaps, be uninteresting to our Readers.
Mrs. Jane Lewson was born in the year 1700, during
the reign of William and Mary. in Essex-street, in
the Strand, of most respectable parents, of the name
of Vaughan, and was married at an early age to 'a
wealthy Gentleman of the name of Lewson, then
living in the house in which she died. She became
a widow at the age of 26, having only one daughter
living at the time. Mrs. Lewsou being left by her,
husband in affluent circumstances, preferred to con-
tinue single, and remained so, although she had many
suitprs. When her daughter married, being left_
alone, she became fond of retirement, and rarely
went out, or permitted the visits of any person. For
the last 30 years she had kept no servant, except one
old female, who died ten years ago : she was suc-
ceeded by the old woman's grand-daughter, who
got married about three years since ; and she was
succeeded by an old man, who attended the different
houses in the square to goof errands, clean shoes, itc.
Mrs. Lesson took this man into her house, and he
acted as her steward, butler, cook, and housemaid,
and, with the exception of two old lapdogs and a
cat, he was her only companion. The house she
occupied was large, and elegantly furnished, but
very ancient; the beds were kept constantly made,
although they had not been slept in for about fifty
years. Her apartment being only occaioaally swept
out, but never 'washed, the windows were so crusted
with dirt, that they hardly admitted a ray of light.
A large garden in the rear of her house was the only
thing she paid attention to; this was always kept in
good order, and here, when the weather permitted,
she enjoyed the air, or sometimes sat and read, of
which she was particularly fond ; or else chatted on
times past with any of the few remaining acquain-
tances whose visits she permitted. She seldom visited
herzell, except at Mr. Jones's, a grocer, in the square,
with whom she dealt. She had for many years sur-
vived every individual of her relatives within many
degrees of kindred. She was so partial to the fashions
that prevailed in her youthful days, that she never
changed the manner of her dress from that worn in
the reign of George the First. She always wore
powder, with a large tete, made of horse-hair, on her
head, near half a foot high, over which her hair was
turned up ; a cap over it which knotted under her
chin, and three or four curls hanging dOwn her seek.
She generally wore silk gowns, and the train long,
with a deep flounce all round, a very long waist, and
very tightly laced up to her neck, round which was
a kind of ruff, or frill. The sleeves of her gown
came below the elbow, from each of which four or
five large cuffs were attached ; a large straw bonnet,
quite flat, high heeled shoes, a large black silk cloak,
trimmed round with lace, and a gold-headed cane,
completed her every day costume fer die last 80 years,
and in which she walked round the square; en which
ac-.oust she was known by the name of Lady Lei;thoe..
Her manner of living was so methodical, that she
would not drink her tea out of. any other than a fa-
vourite cup. She was equally particular with _respect
to her knives, forts, plates, &c. At breakfast she
arranged in a particular way the paraphernalia of the I
tea-table; at dinner she also observed a general rule,
I
and always sat in her favourite chair. She always
enjoyed an excellent state of health, assisted iii regu-
lating her house, and never had, until a. little pre.
vious to her decease, en hour's illness. She enter-
tained the greatest aversion to medicine, and what
is remarkable, she cut two new teeth at the age of i
87, and never lost one in her life, nor was she ever
troubled with tooth-ach. Her sight latterly failed her.
She lived in five reigns, and was supposed the most
faithful living historian of the age, the events of the
year 1715 being fresh in her recollection, A few days
previous eft her death, an old Lady, who was her
neighbour, died suddenly, which had such an effect
on her, that she frequently said her time was also
come, and she should soon follow. She enjoyed all
her faculties until that period, when she became weak,
took to her bed, and refused medical aid ; her con-
duct to her few distant relations- was exceedingly ca-
pricious. and she would never see any of them ; and
it was not until a few hours before her dissolution
that any alteration was observed in her temper. She
was buried in BuabilieldsparYinVlTOUnd ea Mean
days

OLD BAILik:

• Saturday Ada Mantes and Sarah I(4' ley were in-,
&cud for stealing a gown, the property of G. God-
ing and W. M. Young.—The prosecutors are pawn
brokers. The two prisoners came to redeem a
pledge, and while the shopman was busy about the'
shop, they got a gown down, which lie saw Marston,
Cut in her apron. They were followed, and Marston
, was taken with the gown in her apron.— Marston
Guilty, and Koyley Not Guilty.
Amelia Afareh was indicted for stealing the child of
John and Eliza Egginton.—Not Guilty.
Elizaheek Amos was indicted for stealing a silver
watch, a gold chain, and seals, the property of
Henry Austin White, horn his person.--Guilty.
Sarah Heap was indicted for stealing a silver watch,
a gold chain, and key, the property of Wm. Brown,
from his person.—Not Guilty.
Samuel Davie was indicted for stealing a watch,
the property of Robert Brookes, from his person.—
Guilty.

RECORDER'S REPORT..--,.T. Coker, J. Smith, J.
Morris, E. Bryant, W. Foreman, J. Williams. J.
Verbose, and P. Street, for burglary ; Eliza Mackay,
T. Daly, J. Smith, Susannah Newman, Lev' Abra.
hams, Esther Jonas, W. Robarts, Wm. Williams,
and J. Brown, for stealing in dwelling houses ; H.
Folder, alias Fuller, fir stealing privately in a shop ;
H. Mills. W. Baker, and J. Fudgett, for horse steal-
ing ; William Flowers, for stealing goods from a
vessel on the River Thames ; R. Male, T. Burgess,
and R. Vale, for house breaking • and. M. Moven,
and J. Blunder, for highway robberiete—when J.
Blunder and P. Street. were ordered for execution on
Friday next; the others were respited during pleasure.
—The case of Street, it may be recollected. excited
much legal argument. There were nine indictments
against him for burglary. upon four of which (we I
believe) he was capitally convicted. Upon one of
"these, viz. the burglariously breaking and entering.)
the dwelling house of the Earl of Roseberry, an ob-1
jection was taken by Mr. ADOLPHUS, the prisoner's
Counsel, that the prosecutor, as a Peer of the rental,
could not be described as Esquire, the *anclictmentl
setting forth that he was Archibald John Primrose, I
Esquire. The point was reserved for the considera-
tion of the Judges, who unanimously over-ruled the
objection. The other culprit, Blunder, is ,v mere youth.
Bowan:arr.—Saturday, a link boy applied to the
Sitting Magistrate, to know if any communication
hail reached the Office respecting a diamond broach,
which he had found opposite the Marchioness of
Hertford's mansion, in Manchester-square, last Mon-
day, after a route given by the Marchioness. The
broach is calculated to be worth fifty guineas, and it
appeared the link boy had taken it to a jeweller's, in
the Strand, where he offered it for sale. The jeweller
became suspicious and sent for an Officer, who' took
him into custody. The Magistrate said he had writ-
ten to the Marchioness on the subject, and ordered
the broach to be detained until to-morrow.
QUEEN SQUARE.—J. Smith, calico-dyer at Clapton,
was convicted in the penalty of 40s. for not having
his name and residence painted on his cart.
GLILDHALL.C. ififSviiNi, alias llerb:rt, 12 years
of age, was charged with heist,* concerned in robbing
the hawse of Mr. Wilson, the Master of Merchant
Tailors' School, of a quantity of jewellery, the pro.
petty of Miss Moore.—A lad named Singleton, and
a girl named Maddock:, savant to Mr. Wilson, were
also charged as being concerned in this robbery. It
appeared, that a few weeks since the toilet drawer of
Miss Moore, sister to Mr. Wilson, was broken open
and robbed of the property. No trace could be made
of the depredators, but a description of the stolen
articles was circulated, and in a few days Hawkins,
went to the house of Mr. Chater, a pawnbroker, and
tendered a diamond ring for pawn for $6 10 ; this was
refused, and the prisbner departed. Being known
however, as a constant visitor in pledging goods (re-
presenting that he did so on the part of his parents),
it was deemed necessary to give notice to Mr. Wilson,
and he was taken into custody, when the broach be-
longing to Miss Moore was tound in his possession.
It was discovered that he was daily employed in the
counting-house of a respectable firm at St. Mary at-
Hill, where Mathews; the Officer, examined his desk,
sad found in it a duplicate for a diamond ring, and
that which had been refused to be taken by Mr.
Chater. •Beside this were fouad in his possession
pearly 20 other duplicates for property of all descrip-
tions. principally jewellery. Several books (claimed
by his mother), a case of pistols, a telescope, and
numerous other articles; all of which have been ad-
vertised in the hope of bringing the owners•forward ;
likewise a phosphorus box, and instruments calcu-
lated to open the locks of drawers, Ike. All the
things, except the books, he said he had from Sint,le-
um. The latter admitted that he had given him,
many months since, one or two trifling articles, but
denied most solemnly having seen or known of the
articles belonging to Miss Moore before ; neither had
he seen or conversed with the prisoner since February.'
Not the slightest proof, however, could be adduced
to criminate the female, and :he Was discharged
and upon the Solicitor for Singleton uadio-taking to
produce him upon the trial, he was also discharged,
and Hawkins Cully committed.
Tuesday night a gang of villains entered the pre-
mises of JOHN WALKER, Esq at Colney Cottage,
wear St. Alban's, and having forced the windows of
the butler's pantry, seized a quantity of family plate
and table linen : they then proceeded to the laundry,
where they found a rich booty in nearly the whole of
I Mr. and Mrs. WALLIIR'S stock of linen, with which
'they escaped undetected, having previously regaled I
themselves with a large portion of cold meat. cheese,
and strong beer !
- This is the age of real and useful discovery.—ln no
branch is it more displayed than in the treatment of
that destructive disease which is the bane of youth
and sensual enjoyment. To such success is the prac-
tice (in the worst 'forms of it,) now brought at that
respectable institution, the Lock and surgical Dis-
pensary, under the direction of Mr. trzatimr, of the
Royal College of Surgeons, London, Lower Char.
lotte-street, Bedford-square, that upwards of ... hun-
dred cases of Stricture, besides Debility and other
Affections of the Generative Organs were radically
cured by the last report of the Institution. An impor-
tant mechanical Improvement has been made by the
.experienced Surgeon of the Institutionewhich renders,
