James Davis and Rachel Allan, the two persons charged with hay-
ing a great quantity of gloves and silks in- their possession, which
bad been stolen from the warehouse of Mr. Town, a wholesale
glover and silk-mercer, in Fleet-street, were brought up yesterday,
and underwent another examination. Mr. Harmer attended for
the prosecution, and Mr. E. Isaacs for the defence.
A porter, named Francis Hodgkin, who had assisted in remov-
ing the goOds, at the instance of the prisoners, was a very import.
ant witness, and, yesterday, when he was called, he was not forth-
coming. Ruthven said he had desired him to attend, and bad taken
the pains to go to his lodgings to remind of the necessity of being
punctual, but be ascertained thet he bad suddenly absented himself
after the last examination, and he was now not to be found.
Further evidence was adduced as to the identity of the goods
stolen, which was clearly proved, and the prisoners were again
remanded. the witnesses who bad already been examined being
bound over to photocell.
Mr. Hall., said his motive for having another examination was,
that the property which was not owned by Mr. Town might be
identified by those from whom it bad been stolen.
The prisoners were then remanded.
TRY ACCIDINT AT WATIRLOO-Baloas.—The two young gentle-
men, William Augustus Wilson and Jonathan Henry Wilson were
again brought up, and the following certificate was produced as
to the state of poor Carlo :
" Henry Carlo is much better to-day, and appears to be slowly
but progressively improving. We have great pleasure in stating
that he is now out of danger, though still suffering from the effects
of severe injury of the head and general bruises.
" T. CALLAWAY.
" Nov. 18, 18.19." "JAMES HANDY."
Mr. MAYNARD, the Solicitor for the defendants said no men
could regret more than his clients did the injuries which Carlo lad
sustained, and as a proof of their anxiety to make all the repara-
tion in their power, they had made ample provision for the present
for his wife and children, and to this they intended to add further
assistance as occasion required.
Mr. Hama said be was glad to hear so, and he hoped that this
case would operate as a warning to young men not to indulge in
" larks," as they are called, at the risk of inflicting injury upon
unoCending persons.
The defendants were then admitted to ball, themselves in
£5OO each, and two sureties to the amount of £250, and wet.
liberated.
Between nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night, just as the
Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Minsnou., was about to retire from this
' office, the beadle f Waterloo Bridge brought before bins a young
female, named dlice Naylor, whom he charged with having at-
tempted to drown herself a few moments previously. The unfor.
tunate woman's clothes were dripping wet, and her senset seemed
to be benumbed with cold. Finding that her power of speech had
left her, the humane Magistrate ordered her to be placed before the
fire,when the soon became so far recovered from the stupor in which
she appeared when brought in the Office, as to be able to use her
tongue.
Mr. blinsmett—Do you not find the heat of the fire is much
more agreeable than the cold of the water?
Female—Fire and water are both very well in their way; I
should have preferred being in the water.
Mr. linuouta—What, do you mean to say you would like to
drown yourself ?
Female—l do say so : I don't wish to tell you a lie about
it, for that would be sinful.
Mr. Mnosuust —You say that to tell a lie is a sin, then how
much more dreadful is the act which you contemplate ?
Female—Perhaps so, Sir; but there are plenty of people in the
world without me. I would not be missed out of it, except by my
poor little child ; even that would not miss me.
Mr. Missoutt.--You have got a child then? Pray are you a
married woman ?
Female—l am not. I was seduced by the father of my child;
but 'tis no matter, he takes good care of it, and has not been un-
kind to me.
Mr. MINSHULL-Has any one else treated you ?

Female—No Sir,so one.
Mr. Mossitits. observed that it was a lamentable case, and
asked the poor creators, what abs would wish to have done for
herself ?
Female—Nothing. I want nothing but to quit this weary life.
The beadle stated, that hearing a splashing in the water, he
ran down the steps on the Middlesex side of the bridge, and tiere
saw the female wading into the river. At the time he saw her the
water had reached above her waist, and it was with great difficulty
that he diagged her back to the shore. As she was advancing for-
ward in the water she kept exclaiming, " My baby ! oh, my poor
baby ! would you were here with me, that we might die together.
Hr had ascertained that the unfortunate woman lived in a court as
servant to her sister.
Mr. Mono= asked her if her sister used her ill?
Female—Oh no! I've no complaint to make against any one ;
but I would rather perish than Jive in such a situation any longer ;
that I would she added, at the same time piteously wringing her
hands.
Mr. Nlortostms. ordered her sister to be sent for, but a consi-
derable time having elapsed without the sister having made her
appearance, he directed that the poor creature should be taken to
the House of Correction, with a request front him to the Governor
that she Might be made as comfortable as possible, until measures
could he taken to pass her to her parish.
A lad of the name of Wit/Samos was brought np yesterday be,-
fore Mr. Halms, the Sitting Magistrate, charged with having
taken, on Monday last, several articles of wearing apparel, the
property of Edward Owen, residing at 16, New-street-square, and
pawning the same through the medium of a lad of the name of
'George Holland.
William Summers, one of the new police, No. 65, stated that
the prisoner had been givt•at into his custody this morning,
at seven o'clock, by the watch-house keeper of St. Bride's, Fleet.
• street, when he conferred havii.g taken the property, and destroyed
• the tickets, but gave the names of the pawnbrokers,who were now
In Court.
Mr. HALLS told the officer that he had no right whatever to
• take any person into custody in the City, as he would, if the
parties thought proper, be liable to an action. He ought to have
got one of the City constables to have accompanied him on this
side of Temple Bar, as the jurisdiction of the new police does not,
as yet, extend beyond the City of Westminster. He only made
this observation, that some of his brother officers might not run into
any mistake.
Several pawnbrokers were then called, who produced the arti-
cles; and the prisoner acknowledging the fact, he was remanded
until Saturday for further examination, as there is a second charge
against him.

torrent of abuse, and finally assaulted and jostled him and his wife.
The defendants all denied the charge.
The complainant expressed his determination to press the cue.
and the Magistrate accordingly held them to bail.
Was. Wilson and John Davis, the latter of whom has been in the
service of Francis Cross, Esq. of Park-street, were yesterday placed
