BOW4TRlET.—Rittleer Brady, a fashionably d • J
girl, of genteel address, was brought before the Maxis-
trates at this Office, the other day, under the followicg
curious circumstances :
She had been, till very lately, bar-maid at the New
Flanimems, and was dismissed ib consequence of sew
little loving familiarities between her and a young man
belonging to the house. When she left, she gave it oak
that she was going to Cheltenham, in expectation of an
engagement in one of the hotels there. After her de-
parture from the Hummtim., some trifling articles
which bad been under her care were missed, and an in-
quiry after her eosaexions took place; whom it was
found that her mother kept a house of ill fame in Col-
liugwood-street, City-road; and in her house souse pt
doe missing articles were found. The old woman Ile
taken up in consequence, and brought to this office pun.
the same evening, one of the proprietors of the How
mama, saw the er-barmaid, Miss Esther, at the Ad=
Theatre, superbly dressed out, and attended by a
and clerical-looking gentleman. The proprietee iVai
the mote surprised at this, as he fully understesit she
was busily engaged in her usual occupation, as a hae
maid at Cheltenham ; but without entering iato say
explanation with her, be at once gave her in charge to
an officer on the spot-4o her great terror, and the very
evident chagrin et hat clerical chaperon. who, it waa

The Information was exhibited by t. 100itnioros
Ideq.„of Woburn-place, and it appeared that &headline
'Mood Mary Anoe Nolte, living la 'Weston-street, Serl
sere-Usern, had been for some time intrureed with hie ,1
fossil, washing. Finding that emu of dm thlass tweet
reputestlykept back in spite of remoostrinces •spd pc.
me for orders to Morn them, Mr. William's no Wed.
Wider last applied to the Saestrates here. aul,Sadler.,
one of the conductors. went to make inquiry. of the weS
man as to what she bad really done with the thine:li
but when be arrived at the beau be was eared that
trouble by the husband, who infunted him that his
wife bad drowned herself in the Regent's Canal the
evening before. The husband at the same Was gave
Sages a amber of duplicates for property belonging to
Sr. Whibaire, which his wife bad pledged at the shop
tlafthe present defendant.
Mr. Whitmore, is preferring his charge, said be
&might it his duty to the poblic to proceed against the
t, for he firmly believed that but for the faci-
Sty w bad been afforded to the unhappy..womas in
. getting rid of his property she would. have been slims
now. His grounds for charging the defendant under
tie statute with " knowingly" taking io the
were, that they were pledged in the name of Anse •§"lts
e.
although every piece was marked "R. W.," In largo
letters, and that, she living only 50 yards from the de.
fendant's shop, be most have known that she was a lain-
dress. She had pledged there almost every day for
months past, and five or sit of the duplicates were dated
on following days. The articles which he had selected
to proceed upon were in a dirty state.
Mr. Henderson, in his defence, said he did not know
Mrs. Nuke was a laundress, and as she so often pledged
articles and redeemed them, be considered her to be a
respectable woman, and that the things were her own.
After a discussion of esosiderable length, Sir lt, Sea-
xis expressed his opinion that althongb the cue was one
of very strong suspicion, there was no sufficient proof of
the guilty knowledge to warrant the infliction of the
heavy 'penalties awarded by the statute upon the defend-
ant. The ease failed in proof, but Mr. Whitmore had
acted very properly is bringing it forward.
Mr. HALLS coincided In opinion with irieussethy ad.
league.
Sir R. Biome said, if any linen, rough dried, or lo s,
state of progress in say shape, had been taken is. be
should consider it a strong case.
Mr. Whitmore's servant said, some of the artieles
which she had seen at the defendant's shop were is that
state.
The present complaint was dismissed, and it was un-
derstood that Mr. Whitmore would select the articles
described by his servant for the purpose of exhibiting
a fresh information, which he is empowered by the sta-
tute to do.

Ma 11L80R011913 -STREET.— Yesterday, James Spike,
