lir. ADOLPHUS, without any preliminary remarks,
bete eimerved, that be would of course be guided by
the Magistrate as to the day to which the farther boor-
ing of this case should be postponed ; but if it would
not be inconvenient to Sir Richard, he =add name
Friday week.
Sir R. BIRNIII said he saw so objeetioa to that day.
bat be would first consult Mr. Sheerly, Who was the
prosecutor, and who of coarse mast have a Voice is the
matter.

Mr. Sheerly said be wu now prepared wttb all be
wanted in the cue, and be did not wish to parr**
it. He had so desire to attend here again, And he
should be better satisfied if the case were finished at
0110111.

Mr. Anot.rnus observed, that the deposition of Mr.
Sheerly bad already been taken, and he was Mil afore
that there was any necessity for that gentleman *46-
tend again.
Mr. Sheerly wished that a final decision shottid It e
place as to the disposal of the cue by the Magistrsee.
Sir R. BIRNIE asked if the day named (Friday► sea-
night) would be early enough for the Middlesex Ses-
sions?
Mr. ADOLPHUS said it would.
Sir it. Mamie said, as justice was .thip only object
la view, be could not see why an objection should ►e
made to the postponement of the case until the day
mentioned.
Mr. Harmer's Clerk. who attended for the prone'.
tion in the absence of his employer, said he was pre-
pared to consent to the postponement.

. .
Mr. Sheerly still seemed unwilling.
Mr. A DOLMA{ said, as the Magistrate had oh.
served, all that either party wanted was substantial
justice, and be was certain no harm could possibly as
from an adjournment of the investigation until
the day mentioned.
Sir R. Blasts observed, that Mr. Shearly bad put
himself into the hands of a legal adviser, and in his
opinion he had much better be guided by him in his

determination.
Mr. Shearly said, he bad no wish to act obstinately.
He was willing to be guided by the Magistrate..
Sir R. Blasts said, he thought it was but a left
handed compliment, fora gentleman who had consult;
ed a regular practitioner in the law upon a case, to
appeal to a Magistrate as to the course he should take.
It would be much better that Mr. Shearly should be
guided by his solicitor.
Mr. Shearly having bad some conversation with Mr.
Harmer's clerk, consented that the case should be
postponed.
While this conversation was going on, two gentle-
men, who had been refused admittance at the door on
account of the crowded state of the awe, sent in a note
to the Magistrate, and were Instantly admitted.
Sir R. Be :trite asked if either of them bad any com-
plaint to prefer against the defendant ?
One of the gentlemen said he had to charge him
with an attempt to commit a (rand.
Sir R. Bt Rllll said be was ready to hear it.
The gentleman stated, that be saw an advertisement
intimating that a mercantile sitoation was to be pro-
cured for the sum of 7001. and a reference was given
through a third person to the defendant, who, when
he sat! him, said it was not a neevesotile employment,
but a situation under Ooveraineat, la die lottery de-
pertinent, and that be bad interest to procure it.

_ .
Sir IL Btanta.—Did you pay him the softy, or
any part of it ?
The gentleman replied in the negative.
Mr. ADOI.THCL—Then there is nothing in that
case; there is an end of that.

Sir R. BIRSIt said, he thought the complaisant was
in high luck.
The second gentleman thou stated, that he had an
interview with the defendant respecting a situation is
the war &panatela which he professed himself able to
obsain. The price was to be 1001. He called sub-
sequently at No. I, King's Bench-walk, Temple,
where he saw a Mr. Nightingale, who said Mr.
Bloomfield could not procure the situation ; and ring-
ing his hell with great hauteur, desired the complain-
ant to walk out.

Mr. ADoutsos. Theo you can't ay who tookyos in.
'rho complaisant further stated, that be was first of
all referred to Mr. Nightingale; but whoa be called,
be saw Bloomfield, who said be was the person who
bad interest to procure the situation.
These complaints were dismissed as not being
tangible.
The further beariag was thee postponed by general
congest until next Friday se'neiglat, and the defendant
was committed till that day to the House of Correction.
He was allowed to remain until the usual time of re-
moval is a private room with several friends.
It is confidently stated that the defendant is related
to Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, bat is sot his nephew.—
The relatioaship is rather distant.

THANKS POLIOS.—DRIADFUL ATTIMPT OP A MAN
MO Mumma HIS Wm.—Yesterday John Murray,
shoo-maker, charged with attempting to murder his
Wit, was re-examined at this office. It appeared that
'the origin rasa quarrel occasioned by the wife coining
,bras in liquor last Saturday, when Murray knocked
her down, trampled upon her, and wounded her in se-
, offal places with one of his working knives. The
ilissolation of his victim being hourly apprehended, he
was remanded for examination on a future day.
M•urtraoire-orrica.--Yesterday, Miss Ann Davis,
a female of very interesting manners and appearance,
and a youth of dashing exterior, named George.W•od.
were brought up in custody of William Hewitt, the
officer ; the former charged with felony, and the latter
on suspicion of being an accessary in the fact.
Mrs. Ann Stephens, residing in Wellbecketreot, Ca-
veedisheipare, deposed that the female prisoner took
a snit of apartments in her house about 18 months
since, and was always considered a lady of the highest
respectability, till within the last few days. A short
time since, Mrs. Ann Thorne, who also resided in her
house, whose husband was steward to Lord Plymouth,
in Grosvenor-square, left London on a visit to her
friends in the country, leaving her household furni-
ture, tiearing apparel, &c. in the care of witness, who
' for safety locked the linen, Ike. in a closet in one of
the apartments. On Thursday last the female prisoner
tionated to withers that it was her intention to leave
her apartments, as she was about to settle with the pri-
x Wood, who was also a tenant in witnes.'s house,
and was going to reside in Boston-street, Regent's-
The prisoner then took her leave, and lef the
&nese in company with het intended husband. N, st
day witness found in the apartment of the f,,,,,,. ~
pawn-broker's duplicate of a gli.intily of Ftel.rh Hee
isitue
in pledge for one pound. She, knowing tint sol.ie fo-
reign lace was in the closet a . onget NI, F . .I
to: :iv%
property, instantly suspected that the lace i.le iged 11...4
stolen from the closet: she repaired to the i,,,w14.
broker's and redeemed it, and found her suspi i,,,, %t Jo,
true ; she then examined the closet, and f mod Ow ,
valuable silk shawl, several ail bandkerehierc, -4•41.,
&c., had been stolen therefrom. The ti.,%, ripti...,
given by the pawn-broker who received the I.i-dge of
the person, left no doubt in her mind !ha- the prisoner
was the thief. Witness instantly went to No. 3, Bos-
ton-street, Regent's-park, where the prisoners were
living in gantleur, and passing as brother and sister.
Oe the female seeing witness, she instantly confessed
having perpetrated the robbery by opening the closet-
, door with a false key, during her absence on Thursday
last, but declared the prisoner Wood was not in the
slightest degree implicated. Witness then sear bed a
truoltimilencing to the prisoner, in which she found
two silk handastrchietraad a chemise, the property of
Md. Thorne ; also a duplicate of the shawl, pledged
for 16s. at the shop a Mr. Akers, pawn-broker, in
Upper Mary-le-bone-street.
Richard Hingston, shopnion to Mr. Akers, produced
the shawl, and identified the female prisoner as having
pledged it in the name of Molynenx.
The shawl was identified as being the property of
Mrs. Thorne: and the prisoner was fully committed
to Newgate to take her trial. There being no charge
against Wood, he was discharged.
Utrrost-HALL.--Yesterday Mary Ann Wood, who
had been charged last week with having obtained pro-
perty from several persons on false pretences, in con-
junction with her husband, was again brought up for
examination. On inquiry being made by the Magis-
trate whether her husband had in every instance been
present at the time the property was obtained, it ap-
peared that he had.
The Magistrate then said, as the husband had been
present, he was considered in law as solely answerable
for the offences,. the wife being supposed to have acted
under his controul. He therefore ordered the prisoner
to he discharged, and issued his warrant against the
husband, directed to the Marshal of the King's Beach.
Hall, the officer,'brought up six persons, whom he
charged with being reputed thieves. He stated, that
be had taken them the night before, in the Gallery and
avenues of the Coburg Theatre, which was crowded
to excess, a treat number of persons had their pockets
picked, and in some cases the pocket was actually cut
of. Amongst the prisoners were three sweeps, one of
whom, the Officer said, had thrown a large ball of
soot from the Gallery on the head of a well dressed
young female in the Pit, whose appearance of course
it completely transformed, in a much more effectual
manner than Harlequin could with his wand. Four
of the prisoners were sent to the House of Correction
at Brixton.

Mr. Cll43lllZall, the sitting Magistrate, in the course
of the examination, observed, that it was highly im-
proper for the Proprietors of Theatres to admit sweeps
among the %mileage.

It is so much the practice of those who bare made any
discoveries, from which they hope advantage by laying
them before the public, to speak in the most extrava-
gant terms of their merits, that the discerning hesitate
to patroniselliern, lest they should become the victims
of quackery. A similar prejudice operates against the
honest dealer, who, conscious of the superiority of the
commodity which he supplies, and satisfied with a mo-
derate profit, looks for remuneration in an extension of
his business; Mr. CWAPMAIf, however, seems to enjoy
an asuple Share of public confidence; but to meet the'
objections of the most fastidious who may wish to por-
ches. his Ace and Base, yet doubts its genuineness, he
has made an affidavit, of which the following in a copy :

DCTIMAII ED ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yelttfilly
morning, between eight and-nioe o'clock, an lower-
ing female, of most respectable appearance, was its
walking backwards and forwards by the side of the
Regent's canal, near hingsland-road, when the
larity of her conduct attracted the notice of tweets&
men that happened to be passing at thstime, sad Wm
determined upon watching her. After the tapas d a
few miaow', she looked round, and supposing herself
unobserved, instantly plunged into the canal, which at
this apt is nearly twenty feet in depth. The gentle.
men rushed so the spot, and One of them throwing ett
his coat and hat, instantly jumped in, and rescued the
unhappy creatare from her perilous situation, at the
moment she was about sinking. She at fiat refuel
to tell her name, or where she lived, but at length,
after much entreaty, told her name, and that her f.ther
resided near Moorfields. The gentlemen placed her
in a coach, and ordered it to drive to the place d.•
scribed by the young woman. So determieed did this
unhappy girl appear to have been on self destruction,
that she had tied a stone of considerable weight in a
handkerchief, and fastened it round her waist. She
would not assign any cause for the rash attempt.
Fnut.—About halt-past nine o'clock yesterday mom
ing, a fire, attended with a most distressing accident,
occurred at the house of Mr. Smith, biscuit-baker,Tata-
Lack-street, Commereial-road. It originated in the
apartment of a feted, lodger on the second floor, who
having gone out, left her two children, one aged fear,
and the other two years, by themselves in the room. It
is supposed that their playing with the fire caused the
conflagration, which, before it could be extinguished.
destroyed nearly the whole of the house. The elder
child, by the exertions of Jackson the beadle, was Wi-
ned from experiencing a horrid death, but we are sons
to add that the other perished in the flames.
