-11ELOP131ENT.—CAPTION 01 A WARD or COANCERY.--
Ti will be recollected that some few weeks ago, is our
4reptift of the proceedings of the Court of Chancery, we
liitated the particulars of an application for an injunc-
tlin to in Horatio Reeve, a druggist's assistant at,
Easter, from having any communication with .fliesI
-Iliensilla Street, of that city, a Ward of the Court. The
injunction was granted, and on a subsequent day, upon
a statement that the defendant and his brother had acted
in defiance of that injunction, and had eloped with the
infant.am,prder was issued by the Lord Chancellor for
the appearance ratite delinquents before his Lordship.
It los then supposed that they had proceeded, or were
to peaseared, to 6 Y. to be married, the brother hav-
ing engaged a passage en board the packet for that
plash: It appears, however, that the pursuit br. the
friendlier( the young lady was so hot .as to inducts the
fist/Alves to alter their course, and they came by a cir-
ri nbus route to London, where all trace of them Was
Ifbr a time, and an advertisement was published
offering a reward for the discovery of Miss Street or her
companion. Bishop, one of the principal officers of
Bow-street, yesterday morning obtained information
that the parties were lodging at a house at Hinton,
whither he immediately repaired; and as he waste/tont
toleock at the door, a young lady, exactly answering
the description he had received of Miss Street, opened
it, and was about to leave the house. Bishop at.osted
her, and politely begged to know if her name was
Street? She blushed, and seemed agitated, but replied
with mach quickness in the negative, and added that
she was the daughter of the lady of the house. The
officer, Lowisevi, wee convinced that he was speaking to
.4be object of his search, and lie begged that she would
have the goodness to introduce him to her mother, with
ethent he had some urgent business. She said she was
gang out, anti was in a great hurry, and requested that
tie would walk in and speak to her mamma, whom he
told find iu the parlour. She was walking barfly
luny, when Bishop told her the oature of his errand,
Jedsured her he knew perfectly well that she was the
person he was in quest of, and said he could not stiffer
.bfrr to dep." Ile then called the mistress of the house,
aid asked her if the young lady was her daughter? She
replied in the negative. and stated that she and .t young
gentleman had hired lodgings in her House :shout three
ttaya.ago. While 1116 conversation was going on, the
" yitung gentleman" made his app •arance in the per.
ion- ef Mr. Horatio Reeve, anti an explanation took
place*, the result of which was, that the officer tonic the
fegiaive pair, together with all their luggage, away in
a eolith, and conveyed them to the Pt:bac-office in Bow-
erreet,`"teltere ender the pretence of awaiting the order
of the Magistrate for the restoration of the trunks, he
cofittived to detain Mr. Reeve until notice was given to,
the Solicitors fur the I'lrintiff, who immediately c.tused
the order of the Lord Chancellor to he served upon him,
sad ha was then suffered to depart with n batever pra-
,E:y belonged to him. Miss Street remains under the
'ration of the officer, until she can he restored safely
her friends. She appeared to he by far the most
affected at the separation from her lover, who on his
part seemed resolved to bear this reverse of fortune with
becoilag Aroma.
