charged with an assault. It appeared, that of Dlr. Senior was
passing along :he Strand, late on Thursday night, he saw a cat at
the door of Mr. Matthews, a paper-hanger. lie knocked at the
door very violently, and when it was opened by the shopman he
said, "there's your cat," and threw it into his face. The shopman
remonstrated with him, when Mr. Senior struck him in the face,
and he also struck Mr. Matthews, who went to his shop man's as•
sistance.—The defendant pleaded that he was rather inebriated at
the time he interfered to protect the cat from being persecuted by
some boys. He declared that Mr. Matthews and the shopman struck
him first, and Mr. MISSIIIILL ordered him to find bail for the assault.
Catherine flatten, who was charged by Mrs. Graham, her step.,
mother, with annoying her, as reported in the STAR of Thursday
last, appeared at this office yesterday (having been set at liberty by
the Magistrate, en her-promising not to go near Mrs. Graham's
house again), and she repeated her former story as to her father
having left her property, which Mrs. Graham had possessed herself
of; but, upon investigation, it turned out, that though her father,
in 1812, willed his property to her and his other children, in the fol-
lowing year fie revoked that will, and left it to Mrs. Graham, his
second wife; and in 1815 he died. He was in the Foreign Office
(under Lord Castlereagh) when he made the last will, and Mrs.
Hatton said, that she had tbetothority of several persons who were
intimate with him at that time, for asserting that he was deranged
when he made the last will.

hut he discovered that the prisoner invited a party of site ps-rsotas to
dine with her at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's Wood, on the
Sunday previous to hia missing his property. The patty consisted
of a tailor named &aides, and his wife, with whom she lodged, a

tavern, the following evening, when she again paid the bill for tea
and supper, which amounted to one guinea. When the prisoner
was in witness's service, she had no money, and was obliged to
burrow .54. tient her mistress on one occasion. Witness missed U.
a short time before she lett him, but as he had no s'ispicion of her
he took no notice of it. lie understood that Mrs. Stanley had
taken money to her several times since she went to prison.
Mr. Rooms observed, that it was very estraordinay that the pri-
soner should invite a number of persons to dine. and amongst
them a butcher's boy, whosedrink was Madeira.
The prisoner said she was acquainted with a person who sup-
ported her, and who would let her have thirty or forty pounds

found letters which would prove such to he the fact.
The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded for ano-
