Itrrinxtrry.—Yesterday a charge of a singular nature came frt.
investigation before the Magistrates of Lambeth-street Police
I Offie: :—Oa Monday, the wife of a farmer, at Malden, in' seer,
nearly fifty years of age, thought proper to leave her boast.,
where she had lived respected for years, with a man not mere
than twenty years old, but taking with her an the money in the
house, amounting to nearly sixty pounds. The farmer soon
discovered the elopement, and immediately went in pursuit of
the fugitives, and traced them, the same evening, to an Intl,
in Whitechapel, where ke arrived at the moment they were
alighting from the stage-coach. They were given into the cus-
tody of the watchman, who conveyed them to the watch-
house; and in the Morning. they were taken before the Sit-
ting Magistrate, who recommended that all the money she
had in her possession should be handed over to the complain-
ant, which was done, to the amount of twenty-two pounds.—
The gallant being questioned as to what property he had in his
possession, said it was under twenty pounds. It proved, how-
ever, to be' upwards of thirty, which was ordered to be given to
the husband. The young man affected great joy in restoring it
'to the -right owner. The fainter; having recovered nearly the
whole of his money, not wishing to press the business any fur-
ther, the parties, after a suitable- admonition from the Magis-
trates, left the Office. The lady then .accompanied her husband
home, and the young man proceeded to some friend's house in
town. Matters Were thus amicably settled.
