The old sailor. and Ids Wife again remitted themselvee yesterday.
The woman, who bad teen almost silent the day before, was bow
exceedingly anxious to be heard, and began by sayingsbe bad been
very much " put upon."
Mr. Payne, the second clerk, interrupted her, to explain the ox
tune of her application; upon learning which. Mr. Alderman
Auscav refused.to hear any thing further, as it as not.in his power
to assist her; but the disappointed coupl see. were advised.to seek re-
dress in the Court of Conscience, and they departed, the old man
vowing he would try that remedy.
The Lady, it seems, has had a far greater share of Hymen's fa-
vours than ordinarily falls to the** of woman. She has had .above
half a dozen offers of marriage. but the hard-heaned Overseen
rejected successively an her admirers, till the one in question came
forward.

A newsman's lad, named Tansehy Davis, was charged with steal-
ing a parcel, containing seven newspapers, out of the Peterborough
coach, about seven o'clock yesterday morning.
The coach was drawn out of the Bell and Crown yard into
Holborn preparatory to being laden, and in the temporary absence
of the ostler, the prisoner boldly opened the door farthest from the
paeentent,and reached the parcel out of the pocket attached to the
opposite door. He was, however, observed, pursued to Fleet.
market, and secured.
- -

The prisoner said, in Ma defence, that he could not tell bow be
came to do such a thing.

The prisoner's master said that be bad been two years in his
service, but he had not much taitb in his honesty. He bad sent
the prisoner that morning to a coach office in Cbeapside, and he
must have gone strangely out of his way to jet into Holborn.
Mr. Kennedy, a newsman, identified the parcel, and the prisoner
was committed for trial.

BOW. STREET.
Themes Brown, alias Thomas Oseiset amok who underwent an
examination at this Office about a wook ago, charged with having
endeavoured to incite Japes Wood, a clerk in the General Pon-
Office, tocomsnit a capital felony, by extracting money from post-
office letters, was yesterday placed at the bar for the purpose of
being re.examined. The legal, difficulty in the sass to whirlwe
alluded in our first report was, Whetbet in point of fact the letter
lo question could be said to have been stoke, it baying been placed
in the hands of the witness Wood by direction of Sir F. Frieling,
for the purpose of entrapping the prisoner? It was Bedded that the
prisoner could nut be tried capitally, as no felony had actually been
committed.

No fresh facts were brought forwar4, and cob, that portion of
the evidence which related to the apprehension of the prisoner was
read over.

The prisoner wu asked if he bad not another name whey employed
as a letter carrier in 1817, when be was, convicted and sentenced to.
trabsportation? The prisoner admitted that his name was as it is
above stated, and that his only reason for concealing the name of
Opthani was, that it would get into the ttewspapers.
l'he prisoner was fully committed for trial for the ndedenteanour,
but told that he might put in bail, provided that his sureties were
respectable.
Ryon and George, the two young men who stand charged with
breaking into the house of LailyEaftles, at Highfield-housei near
Hendee, were brought up to be re-examined, but remanded, in
order to give the °Seers an opportunity of investigating the case.

for taking more than hie legal fare. The fare which Earl Ferrets
said the coachman demanded, was two shillings, audit seas for con-
..eying his Lordship from thoston-serect, itegent'a.parh, tP Harley-
Street. The defendant said be had never seen his Lordship before,
and of course did not make din
_rdemand upon him on the day in
question. His Lordship bad stioune.neel a wrong man.
Earl F maintained ketiras correct, and said that the numbtr•
of the coach was not only taken by himself, but by a Gentleman
who was with him.
Hr. Comply consented to postpone the case, io radar that the.
Gentleman might attend; but Earl Ferrer. said he had no tlosire
to barrass the man, ilad would therefore remunerate him .for bis
loss of time, and consvin that the case should be decided egaintt
him; but he would take an early opportunity to bring forward his
friend to prove that he was right.
