BOW-STREET.

A young man, of very respectable connections, was yesterday
brought before Sir IL Bums, at Bow-street, after the business of the
office had closed, on a warrant of bastardy, at the instance of a beauti-
ful young Swiss Lady,whose age did not exceed IS years,and charged
with being the father of her child, of which she was then pregnant.
He did not attempt to deny the young Lady's statement, and the
Magistrate told him that he must give the usual securitl to the
parish that they would not be burthened with the mother or the
child. A Gentleman, who accompanied the young Lady, said,
that it was the defendant's intention to quit this country.; and
he added, that the Lady had been seduced by the defendant
under the most atrocious circumstances. She had been ethos

cated in Switzerland, her native country, and was highly ac-
complished. Seven or eight months ago she arrived in this
'country, and was engaged as governess in the family of a Mr.
Alston, in Bedfordshire. About two months ago the family
were in Northampton, and it was there the defendant became
acquainted with het. He prevailed on her to abandon her sites-
tßin ; and as an inducement for her to elope with bins, be produced'
a written promise of marriage, with a seal esusezed to it, and be
even went so far as to tell her that the banns bad bees poldiebed,'
and spewed her a letter, which he stated was written by the Rev.
Daniel Wilson, the Rector of Islington, to confirm his statement.
Sir litcnaan—l should like to see that letter, for there may be
something to punish such villainy made out of it.
The Gentleman said it was in his possession, but he had not got it
about him. The conduct of the defendant towards this poor young
Lady bad been the most atrocious he had ever heard of, and he
richly merited being held up to public scorn for having seduced her,
and lived with her a month. lie was preparing to leave the coun-
try ; and the Gentleman then read a printed circular, In which the
defendant's father appointed an agent for their business during their
absence from this country.

Sir R. Boone observed, that as that appeared to be the case, he
should have inquiries made, and the defendant should certainly not
leave this country until he found sufficient securities; and be hoped
the Solicitor was in the office, who intended to bring an action
against the defendant far bleach of marriage promise or seduction;
for a more atrocious case of the kind had never come to his know-
ledge. He repeated, that inquiries should be made respecting the
defendant, and in the meanwhile ordered his commitment to be
•
made out.

The defendant, who was observed to smile frequently daring the
investigation, was then locked up, and the young Lady withdrew,
accompanied by her friends.
Mr. Harding, the proprietor of the John-o'-Groats cake and
eating house, in Rupert.street, Haymarket, applied to Sir R.
111JUIII for his advice under these circumstances:—He had per-
ceived that the keeper of a respetable eating house had been sum-
moned before the Magistrates at Marlborough•street, and convicted
in the mitigated penalty of 101. for " retailing beer," as it was culled,
upon his premises, without baring a licence, bat which beer was in
reality procured from a neighbouring public house his large quan-
tity, for the sake of convenience and dealt out to the CIIIIOMerS
with their dinners. Now be (Mr. Harding) dined a great number
of persons in the course of every day, and was in the habit of
having a gallon or two of porter in at a time to serve his customers
I with, and if he was to be prevented from doing so, it would almost
