)11beentess Hooeno—Yesterdaya female of elegant appear-
00110naltpat to tin bar in the Dame of Mg. Emmen, and
.44. elm* with having frandulently,and upon false pretences,
nts from Mr. Meets Caohmorejeweller,of Nevis-Marks,
jeer. pm the amount of 70t.
Mrhmore stated that the pritonnr kept a dashing
house at No. 9, Manchester Buntlines. Witness had,
through the medium of the lady's agent or broker, Mr.
Jitarnet, fir a long time pestolastmunted small bills for her,
all of which he believed had been honoured. All these
bills were in the itemeof Elizabeth Emmen, aed in all his
transactions with her be understood that was her amides
name, and that she was a single woman. She at length
made from him a porch** of jewellery to the amount of 701.
and gave him as security a warrant of attorney on her goods,
in the name of Emmer. The purchase was made in May ;
but subsequently he found it necessary to put in force the
warrant, when the prisoner got ei.i of its consequences by
swearing that she was not a single but a married woman,
and that her name was Elizabeth Suzy or Saxhy. The wit-
ness swore positively that be only let her have the goods
upon the belief that she was a single woman.
Barnet Barnet, the broker or agent of the prisoner, swore
that he had always acted for her as a single woman,and that
her name was not El a. Emmer.
On behalf of the prisoner a professional gentleman at.
tended, and put several objections, which were overruled by
the LORD Macon. He oir.red to prove that the prisoner
had gone by the name of Saxhy, and was reputed to be a
married woman ; but the Lord Atayor considered that the
rase sworn to by the posecntor was so clear as to render it
imperative upon him to send i t to a Jury to try its merits.—
The prisoner was therefore ordered to be committed on the
charge of obtaining the goods fraudulently, but it was inti-
mated that good bail of twice the amount of the goods
would be taken for her appearance.
A second charge was made against the prisoner by a poor
looking man named Joseph Crabhe. He stated that be
bad let the prisoner have a blue satin pelisse, in the belief
that she was a single woman, when it turned out afterwards
that she was married. She told him her name was Mrs.
Emmer.

The loan ifsvow.—Did yes ask her whether she was a
single woman?
Prosecutor.—No, my Lord; I dont not ask such a fine
lady as this whether she was married or not.
The LORD MAYOR.—Then as she called herself Mrs.,
bow catneyou to believe that she was single; single women
generally rail themselves Misses?
The Prosecutor.—l judged her to be single fr.►m her
actions.

The Lone I'Aloll.—Judge her to be single by her ac-
tions; what action?_ _ _ .

The Prosecutor.—Why, if s';• had been a married wo-
Vllll,. I should have. thonght she would not have had a
stranze eaptain living alone in the house with her. (Much
laughter.)
. The prisoner, who, doting the examination. had smiled
at the charge, and conducted herself with easy elegant?,
here became greatly incensed, said the captain who lodged
in her house uas a gentleman of honour and respectability,
a”,t it was a shocking thing that a set of vile Jews should
he ;Mewed to come and swear against her. She knew very
ta-e:1 they were all leagued together.
It was stated to the Lord Mayor that there was a lalla•
bet of o!her cases which would be brought against the pri-
stmeras soon as her apprehension became known.
The Lune NATOR was of opinioa that the charge of ob-
taining by false pretence bad not been made out in the last
case. It was there only a matter of debt for which the
party might recover at law. The first eve his Lordship
thought uas sufficient to send her to trial upon. —The pri-
soner was then committed in default of bail. _ _

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT BILLINGSGATE.-Mr.
Saunders, a respectable fishmonger residing at Billings-
gate, and one of the Common Lonna], appeared (accom.
puled by a number of persons residing at and connected
with the market) to complain of the erection at the entrance
of the u:arltet of a barrier, which he slid, bad been the °c-
ession of the lee fatal accident, and now twined an ob-
struction which endangered the lives of all data who
transacted business there.

The Officers of the Market stated, in answer to the Lord
Ivor, that this barrier (formed of planks nailed to a row
of rites) hid been made at the direction of a Committee of
the C. rporatiom for enabling the poor to get on heard the
boar and buy their own oysters, instead of employing per-
sons by whom they were defrauded.
The LOIID MAYOR said, the case was one of a highly im-
portant and serious nature. As the erection had been made
at the instance of a Committee of the Cotto ration, his
Lordship seas of opinion that the evidence ongit to be laid
before them in the first instance. He therefore gave in-
structions that the Committee should be galled together to
receive the evidence. giving such directions for the al-
teration or removal of the barrier as they might think
proper.
Nom days since a person was summoned before the Sit-
ting Magistrate, (Alderman CON), at the Mansion House,
on a charge of having ex .* .1 his worldly calling against
the statute, by deliver m: parcels on the Lord's Day.
The beadle who gave evidence, stated on that occasion,
that the prosecution was instituted at the instance of Dr.
Heaketh, the Rector of St. Dunstan's. That gentleman
&Vended since before Aleirnan Scholey, and stated that
the prosecution nes institt.te I without his knowledge, and
complained of the unwarraotable use made of his name in
the case.

Out LOH.% Justice Ro was thronged yesterday
with a host of Jews, and a number of receivers of stolen
goods, to sc itness the re-examination of James Ifrebh and
Isaac Hanle, who were charged, the former with commit-
ting a robbery in the warehouse of Mr. Thomas Payne, 23,
Wood-street, Cheer side, and the latter (a Jew), with receiv-
ing the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Each
party was provided with an attorney. Mr. Humphries for
the prosecoton ; Mr. Butler (Mr. Haritier's Clerk) for the
prisoner WI bb, and Mr. Isaacs for the Jew.
The prosecutor has a wholesale ribband warehouse on
the first Boor of 23, %tiood,treet, and the prisoner Webb
works as a journeyman in a ululating and fringe manufac-
tory on the floor above. About twelve monthsago, the key
was unaccountably lost. and another was provided without
changing tie heir-. Within the last three months property
has at various times been missed from the warehouse, and
this, as there appeared to lave been no forcible entry,
brought to mind the lost key. On Saturday, the 19th of
July, Mr. Payne t awing taken Lie stock on that day, the
errand boy was set to watch in a warehouse oPposite, and
saw Webb urlock the door of Mr. Payne's warehouse, and
go in. He remained there live or ten minutes, and on re-
turning left the door locked, as he had found it. The boy
saw no properly in Webb's possession, but on examining
the stock goods to the amount of la or 121. were gone.
The per,od from that time till Friday, the Ist of August,
seems to hare Leen u. copied in consulting what steps
should he falter, and of tl.is consultation it is supposed
Webb got sonic itaimation ; Cie on the evening of that
day. a man maned Wills, uho was at that time on the watch
fu Mr. Payne's warehouse, braid the door unlocked, and
immediately beard Webb say alond, " Mr. Payne has left
his key in his door." Wrhb then locked the door, took the
key up stairs, and frve it to one of the lads there, telling
1 • the same story, that he bad found it in the door, and
desired hits to give it to any of 11r. Payne's people. This
key turned out to be tie identical one lust twelve months
This new discovery determined them to charge
the prisoner with the robbery ; he at first stoutly denied it,
but on being told that they had evidence to !vase his being
in the warehouse on the I.9th °idols., be begtoci for merry,
and confessed the robbery of that day. Nothing was then
said about any receiver of the property, hot subsequently,
after promises that lenity would be skew:: him if he told

i

all, be owned to robberies et ether timik tied dame he had'
disposed of she Poorrty afiek e, AJ, .$,.,, be was is
the habit of meeting asirdetniest. Me hod meet list
he said, on the dayWedes_perrisos. trash, meet him
again that very evening. To prove thornlike( this gen-
foaled, four pietes of riband were put hike hie posseseiee
to give to the supposed receiver. Turapeway, the °Seer,
attended at the place of meeting—the rallies at the south
end of St. Martio's-le-Grapd; the prisoner Harris was there
to his appointment. Webb, after delivering bins the fear
pieces of riband, gate a amain signal, and the Meer dies
advanced and took them both into custody. Two Oldie
pieces Harris was seen to throw front him, and the other
two were found in his
.pocket.
On these facts Mr. lams contended there was nothing
Ito affect his client (Harris). as Webb bad not stoles the
riband the former was seen to have received front bins,
Mr. Humphries allowed this, but said the transaction
was evidence of the guilty transaction between him and
Webb; and as the latter had confessed, be would, on ac-
count of his contrition, forego the prosecution against him,
and make him a ultimo, against the receiver.
Mr. Harmer's clerk objected to this, inasmuch as there
was no evidence of the felony by Webb, other than his own
confession, which, having been obtained under winless
of mercy, was of DO avail againt him.
Mr. HUAIPHRITB said Webb's confession as to the first
robbery was voluntary, and before any promise was made.
Mr.UUTLER thought the confession must be taken as a
whole.
At all events, observed Mr. ISAACS, every tbiog Webb
confessed relative to my client was stated after the promise
of mercy, and Cannot therefore be used as evitlyace.
Mr. Alderman Cox thought snfficieat bad appeared to
warrant hint in sending the case to a jury. Hut on the sug-
gestion of Mr. Humphries, that he could procure other and
farther evidence, he consented that the prisoners should be
remanded for a future heating. •
HOW•IITREETe•••COVILTT TO AK APPRIPITICT.•••,/aOlei
Thomas, a clock-maker, re/Minket Kentish Town, attended
before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. HALL, to answer to a
charge preferred against bins by his apprentice, Charles
Leader, a boy about 14 years of age, of repeated acts of
cruelty. It appeared from the evidence of the boy, support.
ed by that of his father, that the defendant bad frequently
struck him with undue violence, and particularly about
three weeks back, when he beat bins with a large stick,
which was broken in three pieces by the violence of the
blows, and that without any adequate provocation.
Mr. Thomas, in listening to the boy's story, used some
expressions which evinced the warmth of his temper, and
confirmed, in some measure, the complaint which was made.
Three persons were called by him to disprove the statement
of the boy, but their testimony.went rather to strengthen
than to diminish the effect of his evidence.
Mr. HALL animadverted strongly on the conduct of a
master who could so far forget the duty he bad undertaken,
and directed that the boy should be removed from him, and
that he should refund 81. of the premium which be had re.
Mead as an apprentice fee.
Mr. Thomas quitted the Mike, protesting against the in-
justice with which be had been treated, and declaring that
be should seek redress elsewhere.
Hamer-Ganoce.—.Yeeterday a boy named Jedut Mee,
only eight years old, of diminutive stature, was *eight before
the Magistrate, by Lisabriek. charged with, la majarsetlisa
with others, attempting to break Into the premises of Mr.
Doha Leeson, landlord of the Wenatsiteal pahlie home,
Pancras.

Mr. Leeson stated. that on the nights of Saturday. Sunday,
and Monday, his house bad been attempted ' • the fit time the
robbers were making as entrance through the skylight, bat
were frustrated by some a the family going down stairs; the
second visit they made they took down one of the shop shut-
ters, but before they finally effected ea entrance they were
again disturbed. On the preceding night one of the servants
weut into the skittle ground. which is enclosed with a fence, to
fasten the gate, when she was terribly shinned at finding the
prisoner lying concealed ender one of the benches; the little
delinquent was dragged forth and delivered over to Limbrick I
she was called in. He centimes/id that a me whom he shooli
know again by sight put him over the fence, sad desired him
to conceal himself, where he was found, till became male, and
then to unbolt the yard door and give him entrance. He was
taken to the cage, where he was kept in the black hole all
night, and in the morning the story he told was a repetition of
what he bad stated the preceding night.
Liesbrick said there could be no doubt but the delinquent,
young as he was, was hardened In crime, for although he had
described to Ida the punishment he would undergo, he ap-
peared callous to all fear. He was evidently the Instrument
of experienced housebreakers, and no doubt had been en-
gaged in many enterprises; no less than twelve houses had
been robbed in that neighbourhood within a very short period.
The Magistrate inquired if there were any of the prisoner's
friends present, or his parents.
A ;poor woman stepped forward, and stated that the prisoner
had been with her seven years; he was the natural child of a
eoaebman of a well known Baronet; that he had been decoyed
away by characters of the worst description ; and he was In
the constant habit of running away, and absenting himself for
days. She had tried all experiments with him, but he was
quite Incorrigible. On Sunday afternoon he left her, after
dinner, and she never saw or heard of him till now.

_ .
The Magistrate said it grieved him mach to see so young a
child placed in so awful a situation ; that he was initiated with
a gang of thieves there could he not the remotest doubt, and
the only way to save him from destruction and ignominy,
would be to send him to some place of confinement.
He was then committed to the House of Correction till some
arrangement is made for his future destiny. The magistrate
promising to get him into the Refuge for the Destitute.
Mantuoaoyon slum—Yesterday two fellows of the
names of Bethel and Noel were brought from St. Hiles's
watchhouse, charged with the following gross and unman-
ly assault :—Mr. Spencer, who resides in East-street, Man-
chester-square, stated, that about half-pall 12 o'clock on

relation. When they gut as far as Charles-street, (Word-

ed to take the most indecent liberties with Mrs. Spencer,
and when her husband interfered to protect her, he was
struck and knocked down. young lady was treated in
a similar manner, and her face bora strong marks of the
violence she received. At length, with the assistance of
some gentlemen who were passing at the time, and the

CORONERS' IN4UESTS.

As Inquest was held yester ay afternoon before J. Higgs,
Esq. at the Bolded Lion, King-street, St. James's-siptare, to
inquire into the citeuntstances of the death of Mary Row-
ley. aged 4.5.
James Howley deposed, that he lived at No. 9, Angel-
court; the deceased was his wife; she had lately enjoyei a
good state of heath. Last Saturday week witness Ives eon-
tined by Moms tohis bed, when he heard individuals quarre
lin x On the stairs, one of whom was the deceased. She cried out
warder, and immediately after entered the apartment where
witness fay ill, followed by a woman named Mary Burns,
who ran up to deceased and kicked her with such violeece
at tbolower pert of the stomach that deceased fell b.tck
upon the bed. Witness then parted the two females and
Mary Stens went away. The deceased was well enough to
attend her business the Following day; but on the Sunday
following she complained of the injury she had received
from the kicft, and gradually grew worse until the time of
her death. The woman Burns had always borne consider-
able enmity towards deceased, and had, in the presence of
witness, frequently threatened to murder her. On the oe-
easion in question, Burns, before she kicked deceased, swore
she would have her life before she left the room. The de-
ceased wax certainly not drunk; but witness could net say
whether or not Ruins was at all in liquor.
Mr. J. Alroelt, of No 3, Piccadilly, surgeon, was attend-
ing the last Witness, and was called in to attend the deceased
previous to the time of her death. On examining the de-
ceased, witness observed inflammation of the pleura, and her
liver was considerably diseases). She was removed into
the fofirmary with an attack of fever sod erysipelas about
the thigh, and she expired last Sander night. Witness
observed no appearance of external violence, with the n-
eeption of a slight inioey of the cuticle of the right head
knuckle; neither was there Internal appeeraece to *attain
suspicions of vio'ence. Nene of the diseases of the deceased
wonld individually have caused death, hat collectively, it
was the opinion of witness, they were quite Millicietit to ac•
count for her decease.
/0 answer to a question from a JUITOSIO, whether be
thought the death of the deceased had been aecekrated
He replied, that Lewd& not Peewee the question decisively.
William Phaley, s lahourieg wan. lodging in the sans
house occupied by the deceased, had frequently seen the"
woman Burns and the deceased quarrelling, on which oc-
casions the deceased bad been very ill-treated. Mr. Samuel
?axon, assistant to Mr. Alcoa. stated, that be likewise at-
tended the deceased. She had not proper musing ; she
was attacked with the fever commonly called Typhus. The
deceased lived in so spirtment little larger thaw a closet,
without window or eininncy, and she had there neither ven-
tilation, cleanliness, nor regular diet, so necessary to per-
ilous bdaenring under such disorders ; site was likewise 'Dinh
neglected, her medicine not having been sent for. She
slept with her husband, who ttas likewise hamming under
Typhus. Witness thought ill usage might have accelerated
her death.

_
Catherine Jones attended the deceased in her last mo-
ments, when she questioned her as to the injuries she had
received. The deceased declared. in a pwitive manner,
conscious that her last moments had arrived, that Mary
Burns was the cause of her death ; protesting, to the Al-
mighty Con, that she was dying from the injuries she had
received, pointing to her stomach.
Several other witnesses, residing in the same court, de-
posed to the vindictive manner in which the woman Burns
pursued the deceased, threatening, and striking her on va-
rious occasions. It appeared that sonic material witnesses
were kept back bg threats from friends of the woman
Burns, who was in custody.
The Jury having consulted for about ten minutes, re-
quested a room to themselves, and retired. They returned
in shoot a quarter of an hour, requesting the attendance
of another medical gentleman. It was arranged that the
overseers were to be applied to, that they might procure
the attendance wished ; and the Jury adjourned till (our
o'clock Ibis day.
Yesterday an Inquest was held before Thomas Shelton
Esq. at St. Thomas s Hospital, on the body of J. Haw ices

lors' Company, deposed that on Saturday morning last,
about half past ten o clock, he was passing down Thread.
needle Street, and saw the deceased standing on a ladder,
employed in painting the outside of Mr. Holt's house, No,
38, in the sauna street ; that almost at the same moment a
cart came up, drawn hy onelhorse, and he heard the carman,
who was behind the cart, call out " Whoa!" which was
scarcely uttered before the near wheel struck against the
foot of the ladder; the deceased immediately fell flat upon
his back upon the pavement, where be lay completely sense-
less, and was raised and carried into Mr. Helt's house.—
After hearing three other witnesses to the same effect, the
Coroner observed, that the present was a ease of considera-
ble importance, as connected with the safety of the public,
the law requiring that all persons driving in the public
streets should use all possible diligence in the execution of
their duty. The Jury, after a consultation of a few minutes,
returned a verdict of manslaughter against the carman,
whose name is at presentunknown. The witnesses were then
boned over to appear at the Sessions, and the man ordered
to be taken into custody.

Allan, two of the dismounted patrol, were on duty near
Kensington Gore, a woman with a child in her arms passed
them with a very disordered step; and they suspecting the
sanity of the woman, from her appearance, and being out
at such an hour with an infant, Allan followed her, and
came 4p with her just as she approached a deep open well
near the Prince of Wales public-house, in which slot was in
, the very act of throwing herself and child, when Allan pre-
vented. the untimely death of both. The unfortunate
