INTENDS TO FAVE HER RING.
Young Lady swears one a Warrant
Against Allan Scott.

Squire Vincent. the Henrico poet. mag
istrate. and first-rate fellow. found himself
in the rather delicate position OF being
confidential adviser 70 a pretty lS-year-
old girl yesterday afternoon. but 1t Is
only fair TO say that he proved himself
equal to the emergency.
AS stated In the Dispatch OF yesterday,
comely East-End maiden. who lives
In the neighborhood of Thirty-second
street, called on the Squire a few days
ago and told him that one of her former
admirers had ring that belonged to her.
and that he refused TO return the trinket.
The fair one was indignant, and intl-
mated TO the genial officer that she IN
tended 10 recover her property or know
the reason why. The Squire had been D
boy himself onoe-and not so very long
ago either-and so, in dulcet tones, he
advised the young lady TO use pacific
measures. and to give her ex-cavalier
plenty OF time to return the hoop or
gold" The girl told him that her former
friend had stated to her through letter
that he had broken the ring, but she
seemed TO doubt this.
Yesterday the young lady reappeared
at the courthouse. and once more sought
the counsel Of the constabulary poet.
Again ne advised her TO abstain from
bringing the matter into the courts. BUT
she was determined to get the ring. ana
finally she coaxed the Squire to issue a
warrant charging the young man with
| the larceny OF the golden band The Magls-
trate reluctantly acceded to her request
as he thinks the accused, whose name Is
! Allan Scott, deserves chance TO ciear
himself. The Squire told a representa-
tive OF the Dispatch yesterday that IT was
HE intention to give the young man until
! Monday to return the ring, and that IL
he did not vindicate himself by that time.
he was going to have the warrant served
upon him. The Magistrate called at the
! residence of the alleged purloiner on FRI
day night, but at that time he was away
| from home. ,
