MAN SION•HOUSE.—Monday three well-dreffed
young men were brought before the Loco MAYOR,
to anfwer a charge of one of the conttables attend-
ing St. Paul's Cathedral, who accufed them of
having behaved in a very diforderly manner on
Sunday lall, during divine fervice. They admitted
with great readinefs the impropriety of their eon.
daft, but ftrongly, int-died the conftable did, in a
very unmerciful way, beat and bruife. them with
a flick which he held in his hand ; and they then
offered to make a private apology to the Bilhop of
Lincoln, who was at the time officiating at St.
Paul's. The LORD MAYOR told them that he had
received a letter from the Bifttop, who, be Itated,
could not accept of any apology but of a public
nature. To this the prifoners at length confented,
and figned a paper, acknowledging their fatilt
and contrition ; hoping that the Bilhop would wage
the publithing of it in the public papers, which is
left to the Rev. Prelate's contideration.

Mrs. Davis brought a charge of a heinous na
cure againfl Elirelbeth I rut, and Mrs. Retinas: The
Rated, that the lived in islarrow-alley. Petticdat-
lane, and that the daughter of the prifoner Levy
had been her neighbour fir fome years; that in
the courfe if the la:t three years the had botne
three children, and that after the had been deli-
vered of the two firfl, they were taken away, and
never heard of more by the neighbours. °Very::
ing for fome time paR that Mils Levy was again
pregnant, the deponent was refolved to watch
clotely what became of the child when it was born.
On Sunday morning the had reafon to believe that
Mifs Davis had been delivered without the aflif-
tance of a midwife. After the dole of the even-
ing, the obterved the prifoner Levy to come
out of her daughter's noufe, and take the
Wbitechapel road ; and fuppofing the had with
her the child. &flowed her. She had not pro.
ceeded far, before a butcher's boy gave the alarm,
and raid, that the prifoner had attempted to
put a child down a gtilley-hole. A. number
of perfons then followed her and Mrs. Redman,
the.prjfooer, amonglt the reit, who, on coming
op to Mts. Levy, &fired to have the child,
and the would fake it to its mother, which wig
readily given her; bat the profecutrii fuppofing
Mrs. Redman a confederate of Mrs. Levy's, fob
lowed her, and found the attempted to go a differ•
ent dint:lion, and therefore laid hold of her, and
took the child, which was alrnoß naked, into her
care, and gave the two prifoners into cullody..—
The butcher's boy corroborated that part of the
evidence relpating liimfelf. Mrs. Levy, in her
defence, faid the was taking the child to Mrs. Bate-
man to nude, who had been entrusted with the
care of her daughter's former children, which were
now dead. Mrs. Bateman gave inch an unfatif-
fattory account of the fate of the children, that the
LORD MAYOR ordered her and the other two pri-
loners to the Poultry Coropter, till the reputed
father was brought for ward, who was faid to be
a married man, and an excifeman. _ _

Yellerday‘ tle prifoners were again brought be-
fore the Loan MA rot, in order that a further in-
velligation might take place refpeeling the fate of
Mits Levy's two children. Mr. Norman, their re-
puted father, laid, that he was given to underfland
by their mother, that they died at an early age,
and were buried in Bilhopfgate church yard, and
that he had advanced, at two difftrcnt times, mo-
ney to defray the funeral expences. The place
where they were baptised was alfo mentioneii, but
on fcarching for their regiflers in the Church
books, no Melt names as their's appeared. Mrs.
Levy, Redman, and Bateman, were remanded for
a further hearing. Norman was ordered to find
bail for his appearance when called upon.
