MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

An Irish footman, in the service of Lady A'Coork, now stopping
at the Brunswick Hotel, was yesterday brought to this office,
charged with disorderly conduct at l'rinee Polignac's, on Mouti..y
night. It appeared by the evidence of Scofield, the officer ohs
was on duty there, that he was endeavouring to bring up Prince
Leopold's carriage out of the line, corning up to the door, and if
obtain precedence to those before it, among which was Lei
A'Court's carriage. On observing this, her (outman jumped tiff sae
carriage, and, in a violent rage, attempted to obstruct the officers at
bringing up the Prince's carriage; he knocked the beads of the
horses with his fist in the most savage manner, and so resisted the
officers, as to compel them to take him to the watchhouse.
In answer to this charge the footman replied, that he was emir
doing his duty in trying to bring op her Ladyship before the othtt
carriage which had broken the line, and was consequently acting
irregularly ; he was very much ill used
in being taken to the water
house, which he said at the time, was as indignity that an Amba,.
sailor's servant ought not to be submitted to. •
CONA NT observed, that he had acted very wrong in obstruct-
, ing the officers, who were placed there to preserve order, and to
see that all members of the Royal Family had the precedence they
were entitled to; and unless he chose to' confess himself in the
wrong, that he must find bail.
After some reluctance he apologised, and offered to make any
compensation to the officers, which to their credit they tetured.—
He then paid a shilling and was discharged.
A Gentleman, a Member of the House of Commons, and the
brother of a Peery came to the (Ake in a very agitatrd and agonized
state of mind, to ask for advice upon the fo:lowing painful circum-
stance. lle stated that on that morning, when the family had
assembled at the breakfast table, his eldest daughter, a beautiful
child, only 12 years of age, was missing. Search was instantly
made in all the rooms of the house, and over all the premises, but
no trace of her Could be discovered, and all that was known was,
that she was seen up in the house at a very early hour that morn-
ing. Plank, the chief officer, was immediately dispathed to
inves-
tigate the cause of the child's sudden absence ; and while he was in-
tertogating the servants, governess, &c. at the Gentleman's house,
a poor man arrived, who stated that he had been that morning, at
an early hour, crossing Paddington-fields, not far from the canai,
when he saw a young girl, about twelve years of age, evidently the
child of a Gentleman, sitting by the side of a ditch, sobbing and
weeping in the most piteous manner, and the rain pouring on her
in torrents, and she already wet to the skin, having no covering on
but a light muslin dress. He immediately went Nis to her, and ques-
tioned her as so the cause of her being in that forlorn situation,
and so far from any house ; but she refused to give hint any answer,
or to tell who she was or where she lived. He determined,
however, that she should not remain there longer, and be .con-
'eyed her home, covering her with his coat, to his own lodg-
ings, in Barrett's-court, Mary-la-bonne, where his wife took off
her wet clothes, and after rubbing her person quite dry, put on her
come coarse but clean clothing of her own, and made her eat some
breakfast. After a little time the child became more composed ;
and by soothing her anguish, they prevailed on her at length, with
great difficulty, to tell them her name and where her father lived;
and the moment she did so, the poor man set off to the father's
house to ascertain the fact. and just arrived when the family were
in the height of their distress at her absence. The child's father
and l'iank immediately set out with the poor man in a coach, and
they found the child at the poor man's house, as described. She
was immediately conveyed back, in the coach, to her father's house
in blay-fair, where she was questioned as to the cause of her doing
an act that gave so much pain to her family, who doat upon her.
For some time she was very reluctant to tell the cause of her ab-
sence, but at length confessed that it .vas owing to the harsh and
violent conduct of the Governess towards her that she determined
to run away, not caring what became of her, so she escaped fron
such treatment as she was in the habit of experiencing front the
female in question. The child's father, of course, expressed his
highest indignation at such conduct towards his child, whose life
might have been lost in consequence ; and he was determined that
the Governess should not have another opportunity of causing a
similar risk.
