BOW-STREET.

Saturday, Mrs. Wright, the Proprietress of 41 Wright's Hotel,"
Adelphi, appeared, with several friends, before Mr. HALLS, the
Magistrate, to complain of the conduct of ',wen, a constable of
St. Martin's, towards her; and she also attended to. explain a

cumstance relative to the non-appearance of a Gentleman, Walter
Thomas Ilaydon, FAq. who had been taken to St. Martin's watch-
house on Friday night, and for whom she had become bail for his
appearance next day at this office.
She stated that Sayers sttyped her in Covent Garden Market
that morning, and accosted her in a rude threatening manner, so
that a crowd assembled. She told him that hr was an impudent
fellow for speaking to her in the street ; and Sayers replied, that as
she had not produced the Gentleman whom she had bailed, in pursu-
ance of her recognizance, she must come herself to Bow-street Office.
Sayers replied, that the Gentleman whom Mrs. Wright had bailed
as he was informed, bad that morning eloped with a ward in Chan-
cery, instead of appearing at this Office ; and seeing Mrs. Wright
in Covent Garden marlet, he merely requested her to attend, and
explain to the Magistrate the cause of Mr. Haydon's not appearing,
lest her recognizance' should be estreated. Only one person was
present when he accosted her, and treated her with the utmost
politeness.
It appears that this application to Mr. HA LLB arose out of the
following fracas :—On Friday night, about ten o'clock, the neigh-
bourhood of Tetsall's Hotel, Adam-street, Adelphi, was thrown
into confusion, owing to the forcible detention of a Lady, who,
though lately married, is a ward in Chancery. The following are
the particulars :—Mr. Haydon, a Gentleman of very considerable
property, who had recently come from hie country residence, Grove
House, near Exeter, was staying with his wife, the subject of the
fracas, at Tetsall's Hotel—and bad fur some days past been there,
enjoying uninterrupted tranquillity; when, by some chance, the
guardians of Mrs. Haydan learnt where she was to be met with,
and determined on restoring her to her father; to effect which they
dined at Tetsall's with Mr. and Mrs. Haydon in apparent convi-
viality; but scarcely had the cloth been removed before Mr. Hay-
don was informed, by the Lady's guardians, that they, had no other
object in their rueeting than to place their ward again in her father's
house. 'This, however, Mr. Haydon deklared, should nor be done;
he had, be said, not only married her, but had settled a very hand-
some fortune on her; besides which, he declared that the Lord
Chancellor had, no later than Friday, relinquished all-controul over
her. Words then became very high on both sides, till at last a
blow was struck by Mr. H. who was immediately given into cu-
tody, and conveyed to St. Martin's watch-house, where he re-
mained till he procured bail. Mrs. Wright, the proprietor of a
highly-respectable hotel in the same street, in whose house the
mother of Mr. Haydon is residing, accompanied by a Mr. Goodrich,
also a resident in the hotel, went down and tendered themselves as
ball, which was immediately accepted. and Mr. Haydon was set at
liberty. On the return of Mr. Haydon to Tetsall's Hotel, be met
with a great deal of opposition in getting to his bedchamber; where,
however, he did not find Mrs. H. He searched every closet in the
room, and in one of them, the door of which he broke open, he
met with the object of his search, with whom, after partaking of a
repast at Wright's Hotel, he departed on Friday, and bas not since
been seen.

Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, said he was not quite satisfied with
Sayer.' conduct ; and having an assurance from Mrs. Wright, that
she did not know which route Mr. Haydon had taken, her re-
cognisance was for the present respited.

MARLBOROUGH-STRERT.

Saturday, Withers, the father of the servant of Lieut.-Colonel
Archdall, came before the Magistrate, with a view of preventing
the amount of bail required to be given for Colonel Archdall's ap-
pearance being reduced. He contradicted the statement made by
Mr. Yatman, the solicitor for Lieut.-Colonel ArchdaU, that the
Colonel's income was only 3004 per annum and said he was pre-
pared to prove, that he was in the recelpt of from 10004 to
3200 i. a year.
Shortly after Mr. Yatman entered the once, and inquired whe-
ther there was any objections to the ball being entered in the coun-
try, before any Magistrate ?
Mr. Dna said, be never before heard of such an application, and
after the statement that bad been made by Withers, be could net
consent to reduce the amount of bail.

Mr. liattnan here asked Withers if be intended to return the
livery which his son had in his peeked= bdoogiog to Colonel.
Archtiall ?

Withers said he was ready to give It up when his son's wages
amounting to 11. as. were paid.
After some further conversation respecting the bail. Dir. Yatman
said he would send the sfiLlarit which would be made' by his client
to Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor for the prosecution, and he could ad-
vise upon it as he thought proper.
