before W. A. A. Wens, Esq. the bitting Magistrate, by a French
Lady, named Teacher, who has remedy opened a shop in the
boohseang and stationery business, in Bridge court, leading to West..
minster Bridge, for his assistance under the following circumstaaces
The Lady, who was.very genteelly dressed, and accompanied by
a foreign Gentleman, who understood the English language, and
had also been partly an eye witness to the nefarious outrage whleh
had been practised by the Jew hawkers at ber shop, now stated the
nature of her application ;. the purport of which was, that on Tues-
day last, about noon, a travelling pamphleteer came into her shop,
and offered some new puldlcatious for sale, as he observed, for less
than nothing : but for which, however, be contraid to obtain front

weed the best that ever'isuitted the vicinity of Houndsditeb.". Just
at this moment be pulled nit a large clasp knife, which he *petted
with great song freed, seeing no ooe but.the Lady in the shop, and
laid it upon the counter, when she begged and riureated of him to
go away, adding, that she was determined not to purchase any thing
of him ; upon which be replied, Ob, oh ! den you most pay me

Madame Towhee cried out for help, since, although the attrutioa
of strangers bad been attracted, to a few minutes the shop ttitranve
was completely blocked tip by the Jew's gang, who kept up the
hue and cry, "dat de honest man bad been robbed of his lemis."
No constable being on the spot, a Gentleman who happened to he•
passing at the time, bred with a laudable indigos/jou, secured the
hawking Jew, with a determination of carrying him before a Ma-
gistrate. Passing through Cannon row, however, lie was surrounded
by a number of Jews, the quill-merchant's abettors. wko swore
most dreadfully that their friend should not he hauled one inch
further, and threatened the Gentleman, if be persisted. By these
means the gang succeeded in rescuing this impostor Irum his grasp;.
and had it not been for the interference of one of the dismounted
patrol, he would hi all probability have become the victim of nth
rauding rage. In conclusion, Madame Teacher added, that the
considered her life in danger from the party.
The worthy Magistrate (Mrs Wane), who paid 'particular at-
tention to her detail, told her, should they pay her another visit, is
send immediately for an officer, and bring the offender before a
Magistrate.

Madame Tenant that thanked his Worship, and retired.

Yesterday, a brutal fellow, who gave his Hanle Robert Ff.-daimon,
but whose real name turns out to he James Cdesoe, was titougut
before 111 r. Roe, the sitting Magistrate, upon a charge of indecrotly
exposinglimself to and grossly insulting several respectable fcn3ales
in the public street.
About ten o'clock that morning, two men in the employ of him
Peachy, an irosmeoger in itegent.etreet, tame to this office. and
informed Schofield, tlse oMeer, that a fellow had hen for neatly the
last hour walking op and down Regent-street. using the most gross
and indecent actions and gestures towards every &vent looking
female that happened to past Scoheldimmediately acconspanied
the men into Regent-etteet, where they punned out to hint the
fellow to whom they alluded. Scofield now watched his wrovc•
meats, and saw him several times approach respectable female.
who stopped to look in at shop windows, and having got close to
them exposed his person. TheoMcer still watched him, and saw
him intercept almost every young female, particularly if they were
accompanied by children, and pot himself in the most int/rests
attitudes before them, at the same time whispering, no doubt, some
obscenity in their ear, and several groups of females were so notch
alarmed, thatitileattered and run in dfferentiireetions, to avoid
the ruMan. hating amply satisfied himself of the fallow's
guilt, west up and seised him, and, after a desperate resistance,
dragged him to this slice, when, so searching him, the officer found
in his ?mansion some prints of the most indecent and abominable
description.
The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to Ind two responsible
housekeepers to bail him, in the soul 9f 30L each. ,
In the course of the day. the prisouer wrote a
.letter to Mr.
Jon s, a respectable cabinet maker, residing in Berwick-street,
requesting he would come and ball him. We. Jones did come to
the Olfiee, and said that the prisoner was a workman in his employ,
and that his real name was James Colima ; but on learning the
particulars of the charge against him, Mr. Jonekdeclared that he
would have nothing to do with him, and be might rot in gaol before
he would become one of his bail. the prisoner was then committed,
for want of bail, to take his trial for the offence, at the approachiog
Westminster &mime.
