WORSHIP-STREET.  Yesterday Mr. Vann, the solicitor, attended before Mr. Broughton, accompanied by Mr. T. Auvache, a master weaver, living in Manchester-street, Bethnal-green, on whose behalf he solicited the magistrate's advice and assistance under the following circumstances : Mr. Vann stated that his client, Mr. Auvache, had given some important evidence at the trial of James Tapping, the man who was executed at the Old Bailey in the early part of the present year for the murder of Emma Whiter, a young woman to whom he had paid his addresses ; and after adverting to the fact which had been elicited during the preliminary investigation of that melancholy case, that the mind of the wretched criminal had been in the first instance inflamed and exasperated against his unfortunate victim by receiving a number of anonymous letters affecting her character, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to state, that the subject of his present application referred to a series of similar communications which had been sent to his client, referring to a young woman named Brooks, to whom Mr. Auvache had for a considerable period paid honourable attentions, and was shortly to be married. The anonymous correspondence of which he complained dated its commence2nent from the very week in which Tapping was executed, and the letters having been for some time confined to mere vague, but virulent imputations, upon the ,young woman's reputation, which his client was perfectly sat;sfied were wholly false, he paid no attention to them ; but their concealed author having lately given expression to alarming invectives against the object of Mr. Auvache's affections, and in the most direct and unambiguous terms incited him to murder her, his client felt that it was high time to take some decisive steps for the discovery of the offender, and to obtain legal assistance for that purpose. kis anonymous assailant, however appeared by some means to have become apprised of the course he had adopted; for on the day after his client had placed the matter in his (Mr. "Vann's) hands, he had received another letter of a very Alarming tendency, in which the writer, after declaring the against tt•eladpplicant's intended wife, most deadly vengeance expressed his determinatioanr,,,aahtOtilemptMrt.o Auvachehi proceed any further in the matter, hand or protection, to lie in wait for I voice? for the young woman'him and dash out his brains, ;nil)concluded by declaring that he was fully prepared to expiate thi 'ion the scaffold, and advised him to take this as aysseetereiLLismfeaund final warning 1 malignant and unthe author's intentions.
