Ontt.nnaht...—A decent looking middle-aged woman.
wbo gave her name, Jose Kemp. was brought up es
Saturday, before Alderman Lucas, charged with (atoll
tinder the follovelog cirermstances a,Tbe prisoner, it
appeared, bad been very strongly recommended as an
industrious bard working woman, with a family to
maintain, to Mary Ana Carlile, No. 153, Fleet-street,
the sister of Carlile, who is new suffering the sentencel
of the law in Dorchester Gaol, and was in consequence
employed by her as a charwoman on Friday last. for
the first time. She came to her work early, and by
three o'clock in the afternoon had scoured her way
from the bed-room down to the Farber. While in the
act of performing her ablutions on the latter spot, a
female country cousin on a visit to the house came in
with a 21. Bank note in her hand, with which she
was abeat to go a shopping. In company with a
young man. The note was laid down on the table,
and in an instant it disappeared. As no one had
entered or left the room, suspicion fell upon the
charwoman. She, however, denied all knowledge of
the note, end readily consented to go up stairs with
the females and be searched. This was accordingly
done; nothing was found in her pockets but three old
numbers of Wooler's Black Dwarf, but on being de-
sired to take off her stocking, four pieces of ribbaud
and a half silk handkerchief were found concealed
in it, which had been taken from one of the rooms
she had scoured. A chemise and a pillow cue
taken out of a boa in another room she had been
cleaning, were subsequently found bidden under a
sink in the kitchen. Still, however, she persisted
she knew nothing of the note. At length, after
provokes and threats, she confessed having taken it,
and afterwards thrown it into the fire to prevent detec-
tion.

Before the Magistrate she was, however, prepared
with a plausible statement of a different character.
She did not deny her confession, but said she did not
know it was a &ink note, and threw into the fire as a
piece of wa-te paper. Respecting the other petty
thefts, she had nothing to urge in her defence; but
pleaded her family, and that this was the first offence.
The Magistrate observed that her conduct exhibitel
too much of the artfulness of an old thief, to war-
rant the belief that this was her first offence in this
way. There being no proof of her stealing the note
except from her own confession, which had been drawn
from her by promises or threats, she would escape the
consequences of that part of the charge; but, for the
safety of the public, he should send her to take her
trial for stealing the other articles.—Committed to
Newgste.

BOW-STRUICT.M/Nel Sari and Was. Reeked/,
two miserable looking young (climes, one adieus with
a wooden leg, were brought up in the custody of Nes-
bitt, a street-keeper of St. Clement's. charged with
the double crime of sedition and breach of the peace.
Mr, Woods, the Clerk, informed the Magistrate, that
the fellows at the bar had been apprehended by the
street-keeper, for collecting a mob of people in the
street, by shouting out the contents of sprinted paper.

free passage of his Majesty's subjects.
The seditious paper was then produced to the Ma-
gistrate.; it was beaded " A Pill for Pouch," and con-
tained a farrago of unintelligible nonsense, in the
form of a dialogue. in which certain illustrious and
noble personages were supposed to be alluded to In no
very respectful terms.
Nesbitt was sworn, and stated that the prisoners
were repeating the contents of this paper in very loud
tones, io Blackmoor-street. Drury-lane, where at least
200 persons were collected to hear them.
A person, who happened to he present, volunteered
his testimony in proof of the obstruction of the free
passage in Blacktooor-street, and declared that, with all
his strength, he could scarcely force his way threogh.
Mr. Mussel:Lt. asked the prisoners what they had
to sal ?
They stated that they were poor asea out of employ-
ment, and that they would mot have carried on their
bawling occupation if they had been aware that it was
unlawful. If the street-keeper had told then to go they
would have gone instantly.
Mr. bltasnuta. said, he had a great mind to COMMIS
the prisoners until they found bail.
The prisoners begged very hard. and assured his
Worship that, if be would let them go. they would ne-
ver offend again.
Upon this promise. most earnestly made, the worthy
Magistrate discharged them on their own recognizanees.

In consequence of iofonnation havinc been given to
the Magistrates at the Public Office, Union Hal' l South-
wark, that a set of gamesters met nightly at No. 14,
bambeth.road, near the Obelisk, St. tkorge'e-fields, un-
der the proprietorship of one Barnett. a Jew (the ostes-
lable owner of the said hew), and playing at the nisi
lawful games of Rouge et Nair sail Hazard; that the)
same were a great annovante to the peaceable hoesisl
keepers in the neighboorlsiiod, in their sallying forth
at unseasonable hours in the night and annealing at two,
three, four, and five o'clock from their rendezvous, after
their games were over, making great noise and disturb.

nuisance, Mr. Sleeves, the chief clerk to the above Ma-
giotrates, proceeded on Saturday night about eight
o'clock, with a formidable body of polite officers and
constables, to execute a warrant issued for apprehending
all the persons to be found in the act of gaining at the
