BOW-STREET.

Ye,terday, Mrs. Edwards, and the Lady's maid, Betsey Jones,
were brought up for re-examination, on the charges mentioned in
our Bow-street report of Thursday.
There were several persons present who had to complain of hav-
ing been swindled by the prisoners; but it appeared, upon hearing
their respective statements, that they had given credit incautiously,
and that whatever moral guilt there might be in Mrs. Edwards 's
mode of obtaining their goods, there was no case (except Mg.
Harris's) which the law would lay hold of.
Mr. Harris added to his former evidence, that he saw the spoons
and table-cloth which had been stolen, at eight o'clock on Tuesday
evening, safe in Mrs. Ralsvards's room, and at eleven the same night
they were missed. After that hour he heard a noise in the pas-
sage, and listening, he heard the prisoner Jones opening the door to
let out the cook, who had two parcels under her arms. The cook said
something, and Jones replied, "it is Bow lane, you fool." Not
hag after, Mr. Harris again heard a noise in the passage, and going
towards it, he heard Jones say to Mrs. EdwirJs, " hush ! they are
'coming." They were just leaving the house when witness stopped
thetn,and found, in a basket canted by Jones, a silver spoon and a
pot oilioney, his property. He had no doubt they were about to
abscond altogether, and intended to steal the spoons.
Mr. HALE.' said be considered the last act, coupled with missing
of the other articles, and the rest of the circumstances, warranted
him in committing the prisoners for trial fur felony. There had
keen a sufficient removal of the spoon, and he should leave it to a
Jury to decide whether there was or was not a felonious intent.
Mrs. Edwards said she had things in Mr. Harris's house suffi-
cient to cover his demand, anJ she knew nothing of his paltry
spoons. He had only brought her there because he wanted to rob
her of her property.
Mr. Harris smiled, and said, there were he believed a few goose—
berries and a pound or two of potatoes, and those he believed were
not paid for.
The prisoners were fully committed to Neergate for trial for
stealing the spoon, and were removed from the bar, Mrs. Edwards
cursing and reviling the prosecutor with all her might.

MA RY-LA-BONNR.
Mary Anne Ayah, the native Indian, who applied at this once
sometime since for relief against two Ladies whom she accom-
panied from India, but who, she alleged, refused to give her a pro-
mised gratuity of Vit. with a certificate of character. Mr. Raw-
ussou said at the time that he could not interfere, as the contract
was made in India, but referred Ayah to Captain Reynolds, of the
Royal George, then residing at the Jerusalem Coffee•house. The
Captain inform!! Mr. RAWLINSON by letter,in reply, that Ayah's
character was above suspicion ; she conducted herself properly
during the voyage. Io his opinion Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Warner
ought to fulfil their agreement with her, and he entreated Mr.
Rawcissoat to pot her in the way of getting her money. This let.
ter Mr. Lawussox inclosed to Mrs. Scutt. The following day
her nun servant entered the office, accompanied by Ayah, and
handed five sovereigns to Mr. Maims, besides eight rupees, being
a present from the Ladies to Ayah, who appeared satisfied.— Mr.
Ilosznes ordered the money to be given to her. The poor crea-
ture appeared gra.eful, and making her obeisance after the Oriental
fashion, she left the office.
