Our Readers will rememb4r, that in our report of the examina-
tion of Mary Bel, alias Grua, in Tuesday's Paper, on suspicion of
having robbed her master, Admicalhir 'Blab Harvey, of a Trafal-
gar medal, a stir of the order of the Bath, an Admirgra full dress
uniforms' and other property, we stated that the accused was re-
mandedfor further eamninatiou. This was the fact hut her friends,
who, we understariel,are respectitk, thought fist cise4inst her
so alight, that they were induced to apply to Mr. Muumuu. on
Tuesday to admit her to bail. The worthy Magistrate, after some
.crassitleration, said he monk' take good bail, and he was the more
inclined to do so from a communication... bleb had reached him from

„.-
Adraind Harm., who, it appeared, bad discovered, on reaching
home aftei the examination on MOnday, that his full dress coital's
bad not been stolen, but was safe in the house. The Admiral stated
in his note that before the examination he bad been informed by
ifs valet that the uniform was missing, and that it was which Ld
bins to state so before the Magistrate,. -
In the course of the day two respectable persons presented them-
selves as the sureties for the prisoner' and she was admitted to bad ;
and yesterday,_ at the appointed hoar, abe attended to undergo a
further exannuation.
Mr. Harmer attended for the accused, and on bis being intro-
duccelto Sir E, Harvey by hlr. kliushuU, the gallant Alfreiral said,
” Ob, Mr. Harmer, I have heard of you often before. I have no
objection--inot the least—to your attending 'senator the prisoner. I
have often beard arm, though I never saw Ton before, and I bate
the carimity to bow to you," and Sir Eliab bowed very law,
Admiral Harvey was then asked if there_ was any additional
evidence against the defendant and be said be believed not • bit he
bad no doubt she was thetelilpsent, and he bad made oft his mind
to prosecute her.
. Mr. blutsitust—.Tben there if nothing left to do bat to bind
over the parties.
The witnesses were then called forward for the purpose of being
bound over • but
. Sir R. lime.iaid, a I believe, Sir Eliabs that not a single and
cle which was stolen has been found."
Sir E. Harvey—No ; but I shall indict the prisoner for stealing
the medal. The Star of the Order of the Bath could not he iden-
tified ; but then there is the Trafalgar medal, and one or two other.
,•things, which couldnot be nsistakem There cannot possibly be a
second of the medal.
_ _

Sir R. Siena—How so?
Sir E. Hervey—Why because the medal bears the name of the
Officer co whom it was given, and of the ship svhicb he commanded.
Nu other medal would beer the name of the Ternersire.

Sir B. BIIINIZ said, that if the statement wh he had seen in the
newspapers was collect, the defendaut badlllewn the articles in
question to the workmen employed at the house, and he thought it
not very likely she Would tate done so if iheinteuiled to steal them.
Admiral Harvey replied, by reasoning upon the probability of the
guilt of the prisoner. and stated that he hadesamined a young man
named George Butt, at his own house, in Ewes, and he had obtain-
ed from hint what be conceived to he a. very important piece of evi-
dence. That man was lootitun to the Rev. Mr. Towers," who," said
the Aduursi,"auaried my daughter Maria.and he told Me that when
be was at my house in Clifford-street on Saturday last, the prisoner
sbewed him the Trafalgar Medal; and you know the witnesses
swear she made the alarm of the rubbery on the previous Thursday
to them."

The defend ant was about to say something, when
Admiral Harvey said, " Hold your tongue, woman, don't in.
terrupt me. You will have the benefit of the talents of this Gentle-
man (Mr. Harmer), who is as clever as any man In the kingdom,
and will get you out or the scrape if It be possible."
ilr. Harmer—lf I am rightly Informed, the evidence of the
sin of whom the Admiral has spoken will be most important to
thirpoor woman.
Sir R. Ikarste—Pray, Admiral Harvey, bad this woman an op-
portunity of stealing plate?
Admiral Harvey—No, she had not.
The defendant again attempted to speak, when Admiral Harvey
said, " Don't speak to me, woman—don't address' me ; lam 'not
-trying you—l ant accusing you."
Sir It. you give me leave to far, Admiral, that I
think it would have been quite as correct If you had brought the
footman, of whom you have spoken, here, instead of examining him
at home. I would not presume to say I could ataucenvte a squa-
dron or fight the Temtraire with you ; but I will do ourselves the
justice to say, that I think we attorkl be at least on equal terms in
examinMgaprisoner or a witness.

Arladril flat vey-1 don't mead to question your ingenuity.
A very long conversation then took place, Mr. Mutant request-
ing a pu.stp liguiret, for the purpose of having the lievetend Mr.
Towers 'r servant brought forward.
It was at length agreed upon that the footman should be sent for
from Brentwood; and Mr. MINIMOLL said be would take care be
should be m attendance this day, when the examination woted be
resumed.

The accused was again suffered to go at large on bail, and as she
was leaving the office, Sir E. H said, if else would restore the
medal, be would pledge himself not to prosecute her or any one be-
lunging to ber ; or, if she could bring the stealing of k home to any
one, be would reward her.

ISA salsa saki, the Admiral might as well ask her to bring the
Rock of Gibraltar here as his medal
