as a cheese of having snapped a pistol, loaded wish powder, at
Mr. Randall, a coal merchant, with whom she had been on very
Intintate talks for some months, on which occasion the &obit
Alderman, Sr Jowls ?mimeo, said the evidence was so cigar that
he could not avoid committing her, wad remsoded ►ae as the
Compeer to be brought up again tot that purpose. On beingtriroglst
up thip day, an attorney attended on her behalf, and prayed Alder-
man Temain.cs to rehear the case, at be thought it would appear
that there was not evidence of her having wilitaUy GM the pistol.
Mr. Alderman Vmmatm mid, be would be very willing to give
the young woman any 'dramas* that could mist from a hearing of
the case, but he thought it should be done in tie presence of Sr
Join NOISING, by whom it had been first beard, and accordingly
sent a messenger for him, who soon retuned "wit% an simper that

present, and did not object to krise thought he should be justified,
in allowing the evidence to come again under coudderadon. • '
The evidence was than all read over, when the Attornei for the.
prisoner submitted, that it appeared, front the pistol only
loaded with powder, and from its being elevated OVOT Mr. Ran.
dall's bead before it was snapped, that the prisoner did Ism intend
to shoot Mr. Randall ; besides which, it was quite uncertain whs..
I tiler the pistol had net gnnc off in the struggle to take it from bee,
without its being her own act.

Mr. Harmer ;aid, be thought there was so much room fordonbe
in the case, that be would not wish to prosecute the prisoner ander
a &stet* so highly penal as that against mandate shooting.
Alderman Vismacas said he felt disposed to take the most mar.
clful view of the ease, and to believe that the prisoner only meant
to frighten Mr. Randall, and not to do Wm any bodily harm • still
it was an offence that every one must condemn, and the prisons"
could not be discharged without giving good security for beg hom-
ing the peace towards Mr. Randall for two years—herself In 1001.
and two sureties in 501. each.

The prisoner wts then taken back to the Comptes till the ball
was entemsl into.
