EAST REDFORD EESSIOVY, 11th licr. 1822,
A motion for an older in bastirdy, on the part of the
Overseers of Stirrup, Notts, was made against Stepbers:
Dunhill, for a bastard child, born of the body of Lae,
Ann Kellett, spinster. It appears that Dunhill is a pub-
liten at Foelby, bear Pontefract, and that Lacy Ann Ka;
left has lived with her mother and another sister, called
l'harlotte.in a small cottage at Foulby, fur the last 11
years. Kellett herself was the only witness examined,
and gave such evidence as created a strong suspicion of
the troth of her testimony. On her cross-examinatiou
she admitted she bad had fire bastards, two to ono imam
and three to three others—end ber sister Charlotte I
had three; we to the same man to whom her,
had had two ;—she admitted she had been dr,
Foulby just before she got ber bed, that Mc.
used to employ her io his house at busy times,
he turned ber away some time ago.
After Mr. Balguy, Mr. DunLill's leading Counsel,
began to address the bench, the Chairman it
him, to question the witness as to dates and
rometances. when be obtained from her the most
givens and self-contradictory answer., OD
immediately stopped the Counsel, and annul
the Court would make no order in the case;
quitting Mr. Dunhill, io *sir belief, from a
in the charge laid whist him. The Conant
rides, then united la as application to the Com
commitment of the woman, for her scandalous
profligacy. sad lireationseem. To this appliem,
Csutt seceded, and, after a um' severe reprimand
the Chair/nem is which %edam:awed oe the
hrr guilt, and her bemuses in attempting to
cent visa is a pertleipatioe of her crimes, and
a wish that this proceeding might be protean;
he sentenced her to as iropmonment of six
istontlis in the House of Citereetioa at Soath,
r..ncluded by expreesing a hope, that her eo'
wraid bring her to serious refieetion, sad
would atone, by her future good behaviour,
former misconduct.

before the Slating 'Magistrate. Thomas Halls, Zs+
charged es, snapieboa et being Immersed in ateelieg
hankmetre, eisvemiges, and other tweaks to the anmeat
of 3411. tie. the property of Mr. Annie, the laid-
lord of the Peres Bello, public-hems, in St:llartia'ra-
lane.
Oa the 'Renews of Wedomeley the 10th efJely last,
about two o'clock, I well-dremed men smiled at the
Porto Rollo, and having et/dere-I sense refreshtnent, they
were shown intoa drinking-room loathe first floor, where
there woes bagatelle table. They remained there unhorse,
and thee went away together. They had not benaliatig
gorse ohm Mr. A. having occasion to go to hie bed-rome,
which adjoins the drinking-room where these men bad
been sitting, he discovered that the leek had been picked,
and a box containing the ens of money sentient* tied
a silver watch with gold male, broken opus and riled of
its contents. • • ,
The police wereimutediatelyindeasquainted with the!
robbery, and is the course of a few days a 49t. a 101. and
a 51. note, forming part of the stolen property, were!
traced, the two former to a VINO pained T. Wells, en Ex-
ci s wofficer, and the latter to a pawnbrotter. Wells, on
being applied to, said, be was asked by a man of the name
of Arnold Hant. as acquaintanceof his of about 20 years'
Mending, to procure change for the two notes which he
,liJ. He got change for the forty pounds, from a
publican to whom be (Wells) was well known. and
he afterwards got the ten pound note changed by a
trade's's otitis acquaintance. Hoot, be said, told lair
.whew be nnewhint the totes, that they'helongerl to his
sussier, Kr. Ingrain. Ham was at that time well known
to the plies as the servant or resistant of the prisoner'
Ingram, who then kept' the Rising Son, a notorious re-
ceptacle for thieves (since very properly shut up by the,
Licensing Magistrates), in Bedford-bury, about a stone's
throw from the prosecutor's house.—Bond and Davis.,
two of the officers employed went to the Itising Situ
i:ninetliately upon this discovery, and found Hunt, bet
Ingram was not at home, nor did he ever return to the
l:.-use. limit, a miserable looking decrepit old man.
when exasnioed at this office, said be received the notes
in question from Ingram, whom he occasionally assisted
on the 11th of Jaly, the clay after the robbery. They
were given to him to get changed ; he paid the 51. note
to a pawnbroker, to redeem some articles belonging to
Ingrain. After being kept for some time in custody,
Hunt was discharged, Ingram still eluding the search
of the police. Last Monday se'nnight, about eleven
o'clock at night, Stiiells and another of the patrol while
on duty in Sloane.street, Chelsea, met the prisoner In-
gram closely enveloped in a large great coat, and his
hat drawn over his eyes, bat they knew and instantly
seized him.—He swore he would not he taken, and being
a very powerful man, It was not until Shiells drew his
cutlass, aed some watchmen came up that he was suer
ed. He was aided in his resistance by a fellow about
Lis own sae who was with him. The old man, Hunt,
meanwhile had been taken into the service of Mr. Hall,

a tradesman, who was known to Mr. Austin, the prose-
cutor, and it was thought he would he forthcoming to
give evidence whenever Ingram should be taken. The
emissaries of the latter, however, were, it is supposed,
too mach Apon the alert, for, on the morning after his
caption, nt, who bad been out for a short time on an
errand, came hobbling in to Mr. Hall, his master,
and said, " Mr. Ingram is taken Master—l am going out
• little way and shall he back in a few minutes." He
however, has never been heard of since; and Mr. H►ll,
upon intpsig, learned that he had joined three or four
turn at a neighbouring pablic•hoese, where a chaise was
in waiting, and that they all started off together.
The stolen notes, above-nsentiooed, were now produced
by a gentleman from the Bank of England, and swot°
to by Mr. Austin.
Mr. IeIACS, the prisoner's solicitor, snbmitted to the
ilacistrate that there was polecat evidence to affect his
client. There was nothing beyond the story of Hunt,
who no doubt was himself a delinquent, and had said
any thirg to get himself out of the scrape.
Mr. HALLS said, he was of quite a different opinion.
A very serious robbery Lad been committed, and there
were so t.sany circumstances corroborative of the story
of Hunt, that be should certainly detain Ingram until
the former was found.

Mr. limes said, the prisoner had been allowed to
see no one bat his solicitor during the week he had
been io confinement, and be boned this restriction might
now be Laken off, and his friends permitted to visit
blur.
Mr. HALLS said, lie had very gond reasons far Riving
the order for the exclnsion on the former occasion, and
he could not at present rescind It.
Amory:is Rsscce.—Wizen logrant had been removed
from the bar, a gigantic hackney coachman, named Janice
Harris. was charged by the patrol with having attempted
lus ressue. This man is himself at present out upon bail,
wader the Police Act, for haring been found with house-
breaking toots in Ws possession, sod hal long had the repot

Barnard Oleed, one of the police constables of this
office related, that having received information of this

itiam-if by ohserving, that he was recommended to her

It is known to our readers that every species of the
Swallow tribe Is migratory, and that they all leave this
country early in October, except the Swift (Airendo
epic), which departs towards the end of August. Ac-
cordingly, not one of any of the species, not even of the
Airundo rustics, which loiters longer in our northern
climate than any others of the swallow tribes, had been
seen here for many weeks; bat es Friday last, immense
multitudes skimmed over this city and neighbourhood,
to the astonishment of every observer. We presume
they had been suet in their progrees to the southward
by the late dreadful hurricanes, which have covered a
large portion of the coast of England and of the shores
of Portugal with wrecks, and been driven bark to their
summer besets. Naturalists may probably be able to
assign ether reasons for this phenomenon, and oar rustic
prophets will doubtless consider this return of the swal-
lows as the giguel of the approach of some wonderful
occurrence. The fact is unquestionably very remark-
able; and if she swallow, as 11001* assert, when left in
sorthern climates, passes the winter in a state of tor-
pidity, masses may hove coogregated in our antique
este& for the atmosphere wad deprived of their usual
prey before the visitation of the myriads that passed
