MAMMON HoVA-- EL in a:vit.—Mr Pearsall. of
Chem, side. yesterday stated i•• Ili- LOW *OavottELliat
he ha. s •en in a Piper an account of a distressi::g
case of seduction. •n which it was mentioned, net ii
person residing at Wolverhampton, and who had ex-
erted himself in the case of two men lately convicted
at the Safford Assis-s, was concerned. 1 . the re
port of the circumstances connected with that case,
the names of two Georteoien, of highly respectable
characters, were mentioned s the one the Rev. Mr.
Gavle, 0-c other, Mr. Minder, a relative of Mr.
IPWasaii. It was due to the characters dl these Gen-
dem. u, ho took so prominent and sincere apart in
the preveno,or of an unmerited
.punishment, to do-.
Ware that ill: charge of so unprincipled a transaction
was Vert remote from an application to either of
them.—Mr Brown, ti-m whose house the young
Lad) had been taken. was at this moment in tne
Justi,e.room, for the purpose of procuring the assist-
once of an Officer, to search a house in Northamp-
ton square, where it was positively asserted she was
concealed. He said the Gentlemen just spoken of
were by no means alluded to in the account he had
given. He had never heard of their names until
that morning, when one of them called upon him kir
infermation upon the subject. With the name and
person ot the seducer he was well acquainted 161 some
time, ai.d the public would one ...toy have a similar
know!' die.
Saiah Jowl was full) committed to prison upon a
charge of having stolen A quantity of pearl-ash an

with naving %tnivn two pair of silk stockings in ti.c

The shopmai. stated, that she was MA .-ftuvring about
the sti..p until she msnaged to conceal to tr pair ut
silk stockings, besides a pair she had purchased, un-
der her shawl. An Officer astonished her upon her
departure, by telling her she had made a little mis-
take, which, however, could be rectified before a
Magistrate. Upon learning this, she held over the
articles which had been subject to mistake to the shop-
man, and pressed him to take them. The Officer
did that part of the business, and kept possession of
her as well as of them. She has been on the town
some ,ime, but was never charged with conduct of
this kind before. It was mentioned by some that she
lived with a Gentleman who intended to warty het.
Upon bearing the word marriage mentioned, she be.
came hysterical. but her m mnrr was too extravagant

HATIoN GAIMEN. roFAIIMEItS.--A doubt having
arisen in the wit.ds of the Magistrates ot this Office,
as to the Loosttuction at the Act ot the 24th ot hi.
present ippuintrd yesterday for the final
decision of tbe question, .‘ whether persons driving
their carts, cars, or drays, within the bills of mutta-
lity, or within five miles of Ten.ple-bar, though a ot
residing within those limits, were li..ble to the penalty
established by this Act?" The anxiety evinced by the
Magistrates to set this doubtful and important clues-,
tion at rest, cannot be too highly appreciated; and
we are glad to announce to oor country readers, that
- their laudable researches have been ;on dad with suc-
cess. In an action brought, the King v. Powell, 4th
Terns Report, to decide this question, in 1792, in the
King's Bench, when the extension of the Act to per-
sons nut residing within the above stated limits was
most ably argued by the present Lord Erskine and
Sir William tiarrow, on behalf of the Crown, Lord
Kenyon ruled, with the assistance of Mr. Justice
Ashiirst, that the Act was limited to persons living
within the bills of mortality, or within five miles of
Temple-bar.—Supported by this decision. Mr. RAINS.
trona an,/ Mr. Lem!, with the concurrence of Mr.
Seireant Szt.eoz: and the other Magistrates of the
Office, ordered all penalties levied under this Act,
from persons not living within the above limits, to be
returned.

John Thomas was brought up by W. Westly, con•
stable, for &al examination, charged Kith stealing
and killing a sheep from the Three Acre-field at Hol-
loway, the property of Mr. Kemp, salesman at Smith-
field-market. The constable stated, that seeing the
plisoner crossing the above field about seven o'clock
on Saturday morning last, with a basketcovered over
with a cicth, he questioned him as to what he had
got, When the prisoner answered only some mutton
be had found; which answer not satisfying the wit-
ness, he.took him to the watch-house, and found the
basket to contain the two hind quarters of a sheep
the witness then went to the above field and found the
skin, head, and two feet of a sheep. On searching
the ptisoner's lodging there were found one lore-quar-
ter and the entrails, two knives and a saw, a WI note,
upwatds
.ot £3 in silver, and a great quantity of
weaiing-apparel. The prisoner said at the watch-
house, that he killed the sheep through distress. He
las fully committed to Nesvgate fir trial.
