BOW-STREET.

Two very dashingly-dressed young men were brought from St.
Martin's watchhouse, on the following charge Mr. Theophilus
Clarke, a respectable inhabitant of George-street. Agelphi, stated,
that of late years several of the houses in that street had unfortu-
nately got into the possession of people of loose reputation, who
bad chosen to let their apartments to women of the town, and had
converted the houses, in fact, into regular brothels. The coin&
quince was, that the respectable part of the inhabitants were not
only annoyed and disgusted by the scenes which they were com-
pelled to witness from their windows, but were frequently disturbed
in the dead of night by young fellows, the visitors of the strum-
pets, who forgot the number of the house they intended to visit,
and knocked and banged at those of a very different descrip-
tion. He had very frequently been called out of his bed at
two or three o'clock in the morning. and ►ad his inquiry of
" who's there ?" answered by some spark, asking if Miss Jackals
or Misi Thompson was at home. About two o'clock yesterday
morning he was awoke by a loud knocking at the door,and oo looking
out of the window and inquiring what the intruders meant by dis-
tut bing his family at that hour, we of the defendants imbed if Ma-
demoiselle Albertani was at borne? He replied that be knew no
such person ; but they swore he did, and that they would see her.
He told them to go about their business, or be would give them in
charge to the watch, for be would not be disturbed by a parcel of
noisy reseals. One of the defendants immediately took fire at this,
and called nut, " How dare-you, you scoundrel, apply such an epi-
thet as rascal to me? I shall challenge you—by G—, Sir, I will
have sadsfactioa." This was echoed by the other defendant, and
both the Gentlemen were very hot upon the matter.
Mr. HALLS.—It is a great pity you did nut cool them by the ap.
plicatioa of a good bucket of cold water.
' In their defence, they said they knew a Lady who lived in
George-street, and they merely intended to call upon bey, and it
appeared had mistaken the house.
Mr. HALLS said, it was quite the practice now for young men
to wander abort from tavern to tavern, until they gut drunk, and
then finish the night in a brothel; and in the indulgence of their
fancies, they cared not whom they insulted or annoyed. 'The de.'
fendants bad been guilty of a breach of the peace, and they must
find bail—The defendants were locked up, bet afterwards gave
bail.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday a man named Gabe Damen was brought up (rem
Pentonville watch-house, and placed at the bar of this office before
Mr. Sergeant Sawn, under the following very peculiar circum.
stances: A young and rather delicate-looking married female, at-
tended by her husband and father-inlaw, made the annexed state-
ment. The prisoner came to our boon about the ist at March
hut, far the purpose of repairing a table ; be was not keg there,
before he began to ask me many Improper questions, and to make
use of a variety of indelicate allusions. I remonstrated, telling
Mtn how wrong it was. He was indifferent, and continued to
solicit improper liberties. I objected, and again mid him how
wont he wile acting. Heedless of aU I said, he locked the door,
threw me on the carpet, and having overpowered me, he accom-
plished kin purpose. I was afraid to tell my husband; but the
eireamstaece pressed heavily on my mind. Six weeks afterwards,
the prisoner called again at a there when be knew my husband was
absent, and tqok a second .advantage of me. This pressing her
