FRIESIAN O. MONIET.
Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS stated that this till an melon for
ceasing the plaintiff to be imprisoned witbott any rea-
sonable or probable cause.
The COMMON SIROSANT represented this as a cue of
serious injury. The plaintiff was a servant in the family
of the defendant, who is an attorney in the City; but tea
account of some disagreement was about to leave her
place. On the evening of the 9th of September one of
the windows of the house was broken, and the defendant
insisted the plaintiff mast knew by whom it was done.
Site denied all knowledge of the subject, when Mr.
Money thought fit to charge hei with felony, to sena
her to the Compter, and to bring her, after two day's im-
prisonment, before the sitting Aldermen. There be prets
dared some parcels of tea and sugar, which were foiled
open in the kitchen, and which, therefore, be presumed
the cook maid must hare stolen. She was remanded till
Tuesday. when she was discharged, after an attempt to •
fix upon her a ludicrous charge of stealing two sheets of •
paper. For her character injured, for imprisonment
sustained,. fur anxiety endured, she now soeght such
damages as the justice of the case demanded.
John Lacey Hawkins, one of the city Marshalmen,
stated, that be remembered Ann Freeman coming,
Sereniber, totioildhall for a summons. In consequence
of that application he wett to Zippy's house and saw
his wife. lie saw the plaintiff afterwards in custody
before Mr. Alderman Cox on Tuesday, and Mr. Money
was present. The Alderman told Mr. Money if he could
not swear to the small parcels of tea and stone-bile, he
could not send her for trial. Mr. Money said he was
very sorry to press it, but unless the Magistrate com-
mitted her all his windows would go to rack, He
turned to the girl and said, .1 If you'll tell me who
broke my windows, I will not prosecute." He then
tamed to a young man, took from him two sheets of
paper, and said they were of the same water mark as
those in his counting house, and had been found in the
kitchen drawer. The Alderman said there might be
cartloads of that ;" upon which Money produced a little
seal, and said it was found on the kitchen mantelpiece.
The Magistrate discharged her.
It. Hart,Suii th, one of the officers for the Ward of Crip-
plezate, stated. that the boxes of the plaintiff were
searched, hut nothing was found in them. On Saturday
evening, Money asked her who broke his windows; she
said she did sot know : he said be thought he should
lead her to the Compter; but if she would tell him
who brake the windows, he did not know whether he
should not be more lenient. Mr. Money gave ber in
charge on suspicion of felony, and she was taken.to
(iiltspur Street Compter. She was detained till Monday
when she was taken before Mr. Alderman Cox, eta-
milted, and remanded a rbir. Mastri'a wishi, Oa Tear
'day she wasagalu brought aps.the Minas* saidraistlia
timed hey were not rifting, he essald not coossalt her,
and she was suffered to depart.
Os crosoexamiaation the whams said that the plain-
tiff was charged br ide:Massy with hsvingadesitted*
young man into the house on the evening when therein-
dows were broken, which she did not deny. When the
search sees made, some tea and coffee were found, which
she said site had bought from a man down the street, but
she said she aid not know his name. The witness asked
what quantity there was ? She said she did not know.
When the box was searched, a handkerchief was shown
by Mrs. Money with tea, coffee, and sugar; she was
asked-how she came by them ; sbe said they were given
her, one parcel by her last mistress. Young Mr. Money
produced tea, and asked the witness to compare it with
that found ; they resembled each other. Before the Ma-
gistrate, Mr. Money declined to swear to the articles.
and the Magistrate said he could not commit the plaintiff
to lie six or seven weeks in prison, and ordered the tea
to be kept. The plaintiff admitted that she bad been
oat all the evening with a young man, whose name she
did not know, and had not parted with him long before
the windows were broken.
On re-examination, the witness said the tea was about
a quarter of a pound, and the coffee taken from an open
place. lie went to see if the person who had broken
the windows was there.
The release to Hawkins being produced, he was called
back and cross-examined. lie denied that the letters
produced were his hand-writing, or that he knew the
plaintiff before he law her at Guildhall. He took the
case because it made his blood boil with anger.
Mr. SCARLITT.—O }es; he instructs Mr. Common
Sergeant to say all these fine things. (A laugh.)
John Toinkin produced the articles found, which con-
sisted of lump sugar and brown sugar in four parcels,
three parcels of tea, starch, and coffee ; all except the
moist sugar and coffee were found tied up in a hand-
kerchief.
Mr. SCARLETT addressed the jury for the defendant.
He attributed all the indignation and all the eloquence
of his learned friend to Mr. Hawkins, who took so ro-
mantic a fancy to Miss Freeman at first sight, and hail
so liberally espoused her cause. 'the learned commiel
urged the grounds of suspicion which the circumstances
presented, and contended that the justice of the case
would be sati,tiell by nominal damages.
The LORD CM kr JUSTICE recapitulated the evidence,
and left the case to the jury, with observations on the
conduct of the plaintiff.
TheJurlfuund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damagesl3l.

We understand that Mr Richardson, the builder, has
just completed one of the largest ice wells in the king-
dom, adjoining. Po.tlAnd-place, in order, as be says, to
have always a supply of that luxury fur the gourmands
of this metropolis.
There are now living within six miles of Annan five
brothers and sisters, whose united ages amount to 3st
years—they are the only children of a couple named
Richardson, who lived at Boushawside, the youngest of
whom is now aged 65 years. They all enjoy a good
state of health.

Youth of both sexes are particularly advised to attend to
that inestimable ornament, the }lnman Hair, as that attend-
