GUILDHALL.

Yesterday, Septinstis Charles Field, an apprentice to Mr. Brad-
ford. surgeon and apothecary, Fleet-street, was charged with rob-
bing his muter of 2d. The charge of stealing was Very indifferently
made out, and the Magistrate, Sir Praia LAURIE, refused to take
cognizance of it. The principal ground of complaint against Field
was, that he had endeavoured to inveigle away his master's cus-
tomers, by pretending to cure them himself. This charge was
brought home ip two Instances. It was ultimately arranged that
the indentures of Field should be cancelled.—Mr. Bradford said,
In that case, he would willingly givi up the premium he had re-
ceived with him. The prisoner was then discharged.

BOW-STREET;
Zdword Clasper, a porter at St. Luke's Hospital, was yesterday
brought before Mr. Mararum., by Ledbetter, the officer, being
one of the parties against whom warrants were issued. for the coa-
-1 spiraey against Mr. Grindell, senior, and Mrs. Grindell, his ne-
phew's wife.
Mrs. °ridden stated, that the prisoner assisted Captain Deane,
and Stinten, jun. in putting the strait waiscoat on Mr. Grindell, sen.

vent On the Tuesday morning before the assault and fake im.
prisonment took place, she gave the prisoner See shillings and dis-
charged blm. But in the evening be returned, and stated that be
had been sent back by Captain Deane and Mr. Stinton, who bad
desired him to give their compliments to her, and say that it was
their opinion that Mr. Grindell, sen. should have some one beside
herself to take care of him. She, however, knowing that anything
of the sort was perfectly unnecessary, would not suffer him to re.
main in the house, and be went away. This was all the part he
took in the transaction; and she must do him the justice to state,
that what he did was under the direction of " that rascal" Hunter,
and with more decency than was observed by the other defendants.
The prisoner, in his defence, pleaded that he bad acted under the
orders of Charles Gamlen.

He was ordered to find bail—himself in £.lO, and two sureties of
se‘2o each.

Magistrate, as a favour, that he might b.: srnt in the House of Cor-
rection, where he could get an apartment in the •Governor's boom.

him there. He was accordingly committed (not being able to pro-
cure bail) to the House of Correction, Coldbath.fields.

MARLBOROUG H-STREE T.
The young man who calls himself Charles and says he is
the son of the renowned Princess Olive of Ciiinliet lami Poniatowski,
attended again yesterday at this office to have his case considered by
the Parish Officers of Bt. Giles's, before the Magistrates.
One of the parish officers said, that he had taken the information
of the young man, and, in consequence, bad waited upon the Princes.
Olive in the rules of the King's Bench prison, and that that Lady,
in the most solemn manner, declared, " 30 help her 0013) the appli-
cant was no son of hers."

The young man again repeated, that he Was the son of the Princess
Olive, as she called herself, and he would give his oath of it; for
the Princess had told him so, and privately acknowledged him as
her son, although she now thought fit to deny him; and his father
was Mr. Anthony Askew. Mr. and Mrs. Bell, formerly living in
Lincoln's Inn Newaqtrare, bad brought him up from his infancy, and
for some time he went by the name of Bell, until they told Lim who
his mother and father were, and he then applied to his mother,
who acknowledged it ; and besides, the Doctor, who had delivered
the Princess Olive of him, bad duce identified him, and was ready
to prove that he was the same.
The Magistrates then ordered that the young man should supply
all necessary information to the pari,h officers, and tell who this
Doctor was that had brought him into the world.
A person here came forward with a bundle of papers in his hand
to speak, be said, on behalf of her Royal Ihghtiess the Princess; but
the Magistrates declined hearing hint.

Yesterday, Henry Paget OSAattgAnessy was charged by Mr.
Hayley, surgeon, of St. James's.street, his nest door neighbour,
with creating a disturbance round the door of his shop.
Bin Halley stated, that about fourteen days since the defendant
came to his shop, abused him, and obstructed his business. Witness
had attended the defendant and his family for some time, but on
presenting his bill, defendant very modestly said that he owed him
nothing. He ultimately accepted a bill, and yesterday he raised such
a disturbance, that witness sent him to the watch•house.

Ali•ter Henry Paget O'Sbaughnessy, in an oration as long as his
cogonnett, ,aid, that he had accepted the bill as an accommodation
to the complainant, and was incensed at being arrested on it on
Wednesday. He denied raising a mob.
He was bound over to keep the peace.

Elizabeth lane was charged by a Mrs. Beiaaeo with an assault.—
She stated that the defendant was her laundress, and had some time
since pawned some linen which she had entrusted her with. A few
days since she missed some more, and went to defendant's house to
inquire for them, when the latter abused and struck her.
Mrs. Lane recriminated with considerable ability, and was dis-
charged on paying the expenses.

MARY.LA-BONNK

No less than half a dozen recently married young women at-
tended yesterday to complain of their husbands beating them. The
most outrageous case was that of B. Byr*, an Irish labourer, whose
wife appeared with a pair of black eyes.
Mrs. Byrne stated that the prisoner was continually in the habit
of beating her, which caused her to be covered with brains.

The prlsonir, in reply to it, said that shr deserved what he had
given her.
Mr. Gisurttus felt some indignation at the levity with which he
treated the matter, and ordered him to find good ball, in default of
which he was locked up.

Maria Isigau was charged with a robbery; but ultimately, with
the consent of the Magistrate and the prosecutor, she was discharged.
The poor girl (Leegatt's) history is a melancholy, though, unhappily,
not a singular one. She is the daughter of an °Meer in the Belgian
service, who fell on the night of the 16th of June, 1816, at the battle
of Ligny. Her mother died a taw weeks after in Brussels; and
Maria, and another orphan sister, were humanely brought over by
a Gentleman's family, who placed them in budness as milliners.—
Maria was a pretty girl, and as such attracted the attention of a
young fellow, who made love to her, won her affections, and then
cast her on the world. She has endeavoured, since her degradation,
to support herself by sewing; and it was only from the strong im-
pulse of hunger, that she committed the theft laid to her charge.—
She appeared far gone in consumption.
