and the case must take the usual course. Ile must pro-
nounce for the defamation, with the usual sentence,
which is, that the guilty party stand in church in a white

AFFECTING CASE.—At the Reading Police-office, on
Friday last, an unfortunate young woman was brought
before the magistrates, having been found on the race-
course at six o'clock that morning by one of the police-
men in a pitiable state. It was with some difficulty that
his worship could persuade her to answer any question ;
but what was ultimately elicited she stated that she had
been educated in a convent at France, and placed there
by the -"Viscountess Fitzjames, and that he name was Clara
Amboise. She had found her way to the race-course, and
from her appearance had been evidently very badly treated,
her eyes being swollen and her clothes torn and dirty.
She had come from London, and had been in Reading for
the last few days, and we understand that she had been
vending small tracts, and a person in the town had re-
lieved her and told her she would endeavour to place her
in a situation. She also stated that she had known a
young female that formerly lived in a respectable semi-
nary in this town, and they were both together in the
convent in France. The unfortunate girl had evidently
received a geod education, and appeared to feel deeply
her deplorable situation. His worship desired Mr. Read-
ings to take care of her for a few days, and to supply her
with necessary comforts, in order that inquiries may be
made, and the unfortunate young creature, if possible,
restored to her friends,—Berkehire Chronicle.
