ther's house the evening of her mother's funeral, and,
Went, to live With her aunt, from whom she eloped,
and became a prostitute. The youngest sister went
to another aunt, from whom she went away also,
and turned to the same course of life. She was
taken back, in consequence of a letter she wrote to
ber father, when she rubbed his house, and fled to
the house of infamy, where her sister was, in Swan-
yard. The younger sister was remanded, and the
elder ordered to be provided for by her father.

ter, E. Harris, of No. 18, Pennington-place, Pen-
tonville. The charge could not be made out, and
the prisoner was discharged ; when her mistress pre-
ferred a fresh charge, that when the prisoner was
searched, a pen-knife of her master's, and a small
strip of calico, value 6d. were found in her pccket;
on Oft charge she was committed.
Catherine Marpky was brought up from the Infir-
mary of the New Prison, where she was under me-
dical care, in consequence of the injury she received
in falling from the top of a house in George-alley,
Field-lane; while attemptirg to escape from the Con-
stable who came to anprellend her on a charge of
felorly—S:,e appeared extremely iil, and was, in con-
sequence, remanded.
Ma it I.MitOUG st-sriterr.—Yesterday— Dyer was
charged with robbing—Thorpe, a gentleman s ser-
vant, of Lis hat, on Monday night, in Hyde Park.—
The prisoner got into conversation with Thorpe, and
suddenly a third person came up, and after accusing
the prosecutor with bad practices, and being unable
to extort money, they knocked him down and stole
his hat ; the third person made off, but the pr4soner
was secured. In defence, the prisoner denied any
knowledge of the man who ran off; and as to his
having been charged with a similar offence before,
be was honourably acquitted. Magistrate (who tried
the case at the Westminster Sessions)—" You were
acquitted, but not honourably." lie was remanded.
A young man, named Coombe, was charged with
dicurbing a congregation at the Methodist Meeting
in Newton-lane, Holborn. The defendant went into
the ( hapel with an iron ladle filled with oil, with
s‘hi.:ll he daubed the seats, the hand-railing, &c.—
The Magistrates had doubts whether such was a dis-
turbance within the letter of the Act of Parliament,
and the parties disturbed being content to receive a
Written amlogy expressive of the defendant's regret,,
he was dischatged.
THANIE% Pouct.—Two Gentlemen arp!i:d to the
Magistrate for assistance, under the folloaviiT cir-
cumstances :—They stated themselves to be ship-
owners, that the vessel had been on a voyage for four
years, during that period the Captain sent no account
home, and none, of the partners received a shilling.
At last the vessel arrived, when he was arrested arid
lodged in the King's Bench Prison ; where he was
stppli,d to for the register of the ship and the Medi-
terranean Pass, hot he refused to give up any docn•
ments, and the ship cannot be work—J. The Magi-
strate enquired whether regular notice had been
given to the Captain, and expressed his fear that no
redress could be obtained through his medium, as he
had no power to bring him from the King's Bench
to answer any complaint. The Clerk said, that the
nature of the application, as he understood, was, that
the Magistrate, after proper notice had been given,
to the Captain, could issue an order to the Officer of
the Custom House to grant a fresh register. One oft
the complainants produced the copy of a notice
given to the Captain, but the Magistrate said it was
not sufficient, and asked whether the Captain owned
any part of t 1... ship ? The complainant answered
thit he had one--eighth ; but by virtue of the Act of
Parliament he tVek bound to give up the register to
a majority of all the partners. The Magistrate a6vised
them to get a proper note ' served on the Captain.

G—D b—t you."—Mary Dye!, Wm. Baker, John
White, James Mitchell, Wm Clarke, Richard Chappel,l
and Charles Barre, were, after a suitable admonition
