POLICE OF LONDON.

On Tuesday, George Draper, a Buckinghamshire man, in a smock frock, was charged, at the Mansion-house, with having assaulted a man of respect.

able appearance, named John Meadows. The complainant stated, that as he

was riding close behind the Bamber coach, in Fish-street-hill, the prisoner, who was driving a one-horse cart behind him, approached him so closely that he requested him to keep back a little, and not shove bins in upon the coach. The defendant paid not the slightest attention to the request, but whipped oil his horse. The complainant, on remonstrating with the defendant, received a desperate lash across the face from him, and was covered with blood in an instant. A street-keeper interfered, and the carter was imme- diately brought to the justice room. Alderman Farebrother asked the de- fendant, who is a big lubberly-looking fellow, what he had to say in answer to this extraordinary charge of brutality. The Defendant—" Oh, I shall be ruined. I'll never do it again. Let me have my cart. There's 20/. worth in it. Let me go, and I'll never do so no more." Alderman—" I can't let yoit go, you have acted in the most cruel and unfeeling manner, and you must find bail." "Oh, dear! oh, dear !" said the great coward, crying, " what shall I du ? I won't lash nobody no more if you only let me go this once." He was locked up in default of bail. Mr. Meadows is to prosecute him for the sake of the public ; and it was stated that the City would pay the expenses.

A young man named Martindale, seas on Tuesday brought before Mr. Griffith, at Mary-le-bone Office, charged with having falsely imprisoned T. J. Snake. It appeared that the prisoner was married on Monday, and invited sortie ol his friends to spend the evening with him and his bride. Snake was of the party, but whether by invitation or intrusion is disputed, and he went away before the rest. After he was gone, the bride missed her bracelets aid a hunch of keys. and Snake was suspected. Martindale pur-ued }din, took him into custody, and, aseisted by one of the guardians of the night, carried him to M ii vlebone warchhouse. While this was going on, t.,:tt brace- lets anti keys were 'found accidentally covered myth a coat. awl a messenger was sent with the intelligence to the watchhouse. Martindale withdrew his charge of felony agairret Snake, and was alumni to go hack to the wedding slipper ; but Snake charged him in return with having laid violent hands upon and Nisch- imprisoned him, and left him a prisoner to spend hie night in the watchhouse. and caused his newly-made wife to spend hers in single blessedness at home. Sir. Griffith said, when the bracelets and keys were fimnd, the matter ought to have ended ; and he thought the step taken by Snake was a very unnecessary and ill-natured one.—The case was dismissed.

A Jew named Nathan was on Tuesday committed for trial from Lambeth Police Office, on the charge of having robbed a man of his watch, on Sunday night, while he was passing through Ratcliffe Highway. He was taken with the switch in his hand.

At Bow-street, on Monday, a person named Joseph Scultop was placed at the bar, charged with having received part of the property stolen from Mr. Caldwell, ironmonger, the systematic robbery of whom by his servants we noticed last week. .A large sack, containing a great deal of valuable pro- perty, seized in the prisoner's house, was produced. Scultop declared that he had bosrght the articles produced from the prisoner Ward, who was ar- rested before ; but he gave no reason why the private marks which Mr. Caldwell had put upon them, came to be obliterated. Ward was then con- fronted with Scultop ; but Ward stoutly denied all knowledge of his com- panion in crime. The evidence having been gone through, the four prisoners were committed for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute. A man was committed from Union-hall, on Monday, charged with being implicated with another person in the robbery of a poor woman whom they met near Bromley, and who was travelling to London with a sick child in her arms. They professed to relieve her by carrying her bundle and child occasionally • and on their near approach to town, the one who had the bundle ran Off with it. The other came to London with her ; and as he would give no account of his companion, she had him taken into custody. He denied being implicated in the crime. Two young men were brought to Bow-street, on Tuesday, on suspicion of having broken into the dwelling house of Lady Raffles, widow of the late Sir Stamford Raffles, situate at High Wood Hill, near Hendon. Some im- plements used by house-breakers were found in the entrance hail; and a Missionary box containing about 10s. in silver, together with a lady's work- box, a pair of scissors and two white cambric pocket handkerchiefs are miss- ing from the house. Two hats were found ; and the principal point which bore against the prisoners, was the fact of their being without hats when ar- rested. They admitted that tiley had been at Hendon, where they had staid till midnight drinking ; and they alleged that they had lost their hats in a fight with some Irishmen. Taunton, the officer, said that they were well- known thieves; but both of them vehemently denied the imputation, and offered to produce testimonials of character. They were remanded till Friday. A young but unfortunate female was brought before the Magistrate, charged with having created a disturbance in the shop of Mr. Selby, Duke- street, St. Martin's, and also threatening to hang or drown herself unless she received some money. The prisoner, "whose appearance bespoke a variety of wretchedness," notwithstanding that her face still retained a share of its former beauty, stated, that about three years ago she was induced to leave her husband, and live under the protection of complainant's son, who has since deserted her, and from whom she received only a casual subsistence. Mr. Selby, two of his daughters, and the seducer came forward to substan- tiate the charge. Mr. Halls, addressing the latter, said—" Reflect on your own conduct ; you have been the cause of making an unfortunate individual so wretched as to render her almost incapable of regulating her actions : you are bound to provide for her in some manner, but I must, however, pre- vent her from annoying your father's family." Not being able to obtain bail for keeping the peace, she was ordered to be locked up, and on leaving the office she wept so bitterly, as to excite a considerable share of sympathy. At Bow-street yesterday, J. F. Brown was brought before Sir Richard Birnie for final examination, on the charge of having incited Woods, the letter-carrier, to steal a letter containing a 5/. Bank of England note. The circumstances formerly stated before the Magistrate were corroborated; and Brown was committed for trial for the misdemeanour.

An application was made at Marlborough-street office, on Monday, for the assistance of some officers to aid in relieving the Dowager Lady Gresley (who resides in Conduit-street, Bond-street) from a state of durance and terror in which she was kept by her male servants. The servants, five in number, had got drunk, had armed themselves with pokers and other wea- pons, and had barricadoed the house in such a manner as to prevent any one from getting out or in. The gentleman who came to the office had e*- caped out of a back window, and over the walls of an adjoining house; but he had previously received some blows from a poker dealt him by one of

the mutineers. Some smiths were in attendance, by her ladyship's orders, given from a window, to force the door; but they were deterred from pro- ceeding by the threats of the garrison. Two officers having arrived, they proceeded to the work of destruction. A breach was made, the place was carried by assault, and the five fellows were captured and brought to the office. They began to mutter forth some causes of discontent with her ladyship ; but in the end, two of them were held to bail (and locked up in the mean time) for the assault on the young gentleman, and the others were dismissed. These men having soon after found bail, applied to Mr. Dyer, ae to the best means of recovering their wages from Lady Gresley, and the clothes they had left behind them at her house ? The Magistrate replied, that he could not interfere ; they must establish their claim by legal means. The applicants were not long gone, when Lady Gresley herself came to the office in her carriage, and requested the assistance of some police-officers, to protect her against the renewal of any attack from her two discharged

butlers, who were then parading in a menacing and hostile manner up and down Conduit-street in the front of her house; which her ladyship said she very much feared they would again endeavour to force possession of. Mr. Dyer said, that the butlers having been bound over in sureties of 40/. each, he did not think her ladyship need be under the slightest apprehension ; how- ever, if a breach of the peace should take place, it would be only necessary to send notice to the office, and officers should be sent to secure the offenders.

It was mentioned at this office on Tuesday, that the house of Colonel Bur. rough, Hill-street, Berkley-square, had been robbed of a considerable quan- tity of plate in the forenoon, The under-butler saw a strange man on the landing-place of the kitchen stairs, who asked the way to the kitchen. The butler directed him. As the missing articles were in the pantry cupboard, and as there was 110 one then in the kitchen, the stranger is supposed to have availed himself of the opportunity of taking them. A maid-servant met him going away. To her he made some trifling excuse for being in that part of the house ; and thus got clear off'. A list of the articles was left at the of- fice ; but the magistrate said he could do nothing in the matter.

Another case of swindling was mentioned at Bow-street, on Thursday. The complainant was an officer in the army, who bad let his house, on the South Parade, Chelsea, to a woman of colour, who went under the name of Sutton, and who pretended to be the wife of a gentleman in the \Vest Indies, but who, in fact, was only one of a band of swindlers,—though she pos- sessed the address, and seemed to have the education of a lady. She took possession of the house,—it being understood by the complainant that a pre- tended company, named Alloys and De Burgh, in Liverpool-street, Broad- street, to whom he had been referred for information as to the respectability of the female, would honour any order she gave for the rent. Mrs. Sutton favoured various tradesmen with orders for goods of different kindne—which they sent to her without ever seeing any of her money. She also hired a piano-forte for two months, from Mr. Rathmacher. He sent his son at the evpiry of the first month, for the hire then due ; but the parties had fled, and carried the pintuo, which was valued at forty-six guineas,along with them. The house was soon beset by tradesmen of all descriptions, who went away deploring their credulity, as nothing of any value had been left behind. Sir Richard Birnie said be could do nothing for the complainant, as the arrears of rent became only a debt ; and as Mr. Rathmacher was of opinion that the woman was living in Kenuington, Sir Richard Bionic advised him to give her into custody, as soon as he could find her.

Mr. Rathinacher called at the oflice yesterday morning, mid stated that he had obtained such information as would enable him to apprehend Mrs. Sut- ton and her associates.

A milkman, named Robert Mills, was accused, at Marlborough-street of. flee, on Thursday, with having attempted to decoy a young and pretty-look- ing girl, the servant of a family he supplied with milk, into a brothel The girl, who found out the character of the house before she entered a room, dashed out, followed by the treacherous milkman ; and when he attempted to detain her, she gave him a slap in the face and escaped. The defendant affected to treat the matter as a joke ; but he was tined 104 for the assault in attempting to detain the girl—he owed it to her resolution' and presence of mind that he suffered no higher punishment.

At Mary-le-bonne, on Thursday, a young man named Canadine, eras com- mitted on a charge of having, under false pretences, obtained from John Marshfield, a suit of clothes, a watch, and some money. When the prisoner was apprehended, he confessed his guilt, and expressed a hope that he might be transported, as he had for some time been miserable. He was for- merly convicted of a similar offence. He is nephew, by marriage, to an opulent banker in the City.

Henry Ansel!, the driver of a hackney coach, was charged with having on Sunday night, about eight o'clock, galloped furiously across the New- road, from Upper Norton-street to Osuaburg-street, by Trinity Church. Jane Howlett, a poor woman, was crossing the road at the time, with a child in her arms, and Mr. Henry Quinton of Upper Seymour-street, Euston-square, who was waiting on the spot for a Paddington stage to take hinn to the City, saw her in danger, and ran to assist her; but his effort was worse than un- availing, for the horses knocked them all down. One wheel went over the woman, and broke four of her ribs ; and another just grazed the shoulder of Mr. Quinton, very much injured one of his hands, and put the thumb of the other hand out of joint. The child escaped with only bruises from the fall. The coachman took no notice of the accident, but galloped along to Wil- liams's-mews, in Mary-street; and when the persons who followed him came to the yard, they found him in the act of taking off his plates to avoid prosecution. The poor woman was taken to Middlesex Hospital, where she remains in great danger. The prisoner said his reins were broken, and he had lost the command of his horses. The Magistrates told him it would be well if the woman recovered, otherwise his life would be in danger ; and committed him to the New Prison until that is ascertained.

Two brothers named Ledge, and a carman named Lee, were on Thursday committed for trial from Worship-street, on the charge of having stolen one hundred and twenty-four skins of leather from Mr. Callender of Bermondsey,. with whom one of the brothers was apprenticed. They were remanded. One of the brothers is also suspected of having been concerned in a robbery committed in March, on the premises of Mr. Crawford, umbrella-maker, Cheapside, when property to the amount of 3001. was stolen.

Mr. Austin, the late Deputy Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital, on Tuesday morning arrived in town from Ireland, in the custody of Salmon, one of the principal officers of Bow-street, and Farmer, a constable of Greenwich. They arrived at Bow-street at eight o'clock in the morning, and Sir Richard Blade immediately left his house and bad the prisoner brought before him in a private room in the office, where he underwent a short examination. The prisoner is a middle-aged man, short and stout ; he wore spectacles, and took a profusion of 'snuff. He is charged with having embezzled the public monies, which should have been paid into the Greenwich chest, to the ailment of nearly 30,000/. The officers stated, that they apprehended him at a public house in Limerick on Thursday last, and found upon his person only about 60/. in sovereigns. Sir Richard Birnie, after basing taken a deposi- tion, said that he did not wish to put the prisoner to any unnecessary incon- venience, and he might remain in St. Martin's watchhouse till his final ex- amination. He directed that no person should hold communication with Mr. Austin ; but he might be allowed any other indulgences that he required.

About noon Sir Richard Birnie, who had had some communication' with one of the Govermnent offices, ordered a warrant to be made out, committing the prisoner to the House of Correction for further examination on a future day. Salmon went to the watchhouse with the warrant, and informed the prisoner that he was come to convey him to the House of Correction. The prisoner merely remarked, that he had hoped he should have been allowed to remain at the watchhouse till his committal, and regretted the Magistrate had thought it his duty to refuse him that favour. Mr. Austin has a wife and seven children, and Ire appears to bear his misfortunes with no ordinary share of philosophy.

Mr. Austin underwent another examination on Wednesday evening. A few minutes before seven, he arrived at the office in a hackney-coach, in the custody of Salmon, who had brought him front the House of Correction.

Mr. Bicknell, the solicitor to the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital, attended on the part of the prosecution. The office and avenues were crowded to excess. Sir Richard Birnie directed the prisoner to be brought before bins in a private room; and the investigation was so strictly privaee, that he not only refused admission to the reporters, but also to the gentleman who attended professionally on the part of the prisoner. Several witnesses were examined, and the property contained in the trunks which were seized by the officers at Limerick was produced. Between nine and ten o'clock, Sir Richard Birnie ordered the further inquiry to be postponed till a future day, and the prisoner was remanded to the House of Correction. The Magistrate observed, that it was important that publicity should not be given to the evidence in the present stage of the investigation ; and Ile declared that he would punish any officer who gave the slightest information of what had transpired. The prisoner sat during the examination, and paid the utmost attention to the evidence. He wore speetatcles, and took occasional notes of the proceedings.

After Auetin had absented himself front the Hospital, it appears he pro- ceeded to his house on Sydenham Common, and having taken leave of his wife and children, he disguised himself in 'mean attire, and then went off

in one of the light chaise carts that ply at the Elephant and Castle, called " coburgs," taking with lean a large portmantenm and two leathern Avalluts,

and desired the driver to convey him to \Veils's livery-stables in Blackfriars- road, where he had previously engaged a post-chaise for Hounslow, to which place he proceeded with all possible dispatch in the incognito he started.

From Hounslow he proceeded by the coach to Bristel, and booked himself by the mail for Milford Haven ; where he took passage int the Sybil packet, met landed at Dunmore ; and from thence he went by land to Waterferd. Front Waterford the officers, with great perseverance, traced him to Limerick, where he was finally appreheuded standing at the door of an inn.

An ancient-looking Greenwich pensioner, with a simple, :smiling, gentle little creature by his side, presented himself at Guildhall on Thursday, and addressed Sir John Perring as soon as Ile entered the justice-room, to com-

plain of a breach of faith towards him on the part of the parieh-oflicers of Cripplegate. He said they had promised to give him 2/, and they had only

given bins half that sum. " For what were they to give you 21. ?" asked the Alderman. The prisoner pointed with his thumb at the female; and after a little hammering, and show of delicacy, he hinted it was to be his marriage Portion with the young woman, whom he had married on Monday last, at Cripplegate Church, she having formerly been an incumbrance on the parish. The Magistrate iuut oired their respective ages. 'flue husband said he was fifty-six, and his wile about thirty. " And what means of supporting her have you?" continuenl the Alderman. The husband said his pension and his labour would be sullicient for that; and proceeded to state, that the Committee had sent for him to offer him terms, and he bad repeatedly told them he would consent to marry the woman only on condition that he should not be at any expense for the ceremony, that a wedding dinner should be provided for them, and that he should have besides a sum of 24 with her.

Thorn the beadle denied that more had been promised than 2/. " including all expenses," which was the usual allowance. The woman was a pauper,

receiving ls.611. a-week, and had for some time been importuning the parish. officers for a marriage portion, stating that she had been living fur a twelve- month with the old man, but that she was much ashamed of her disgraceful situation, and as he was willing, to marry her if she could get something to make them comfortable in the beginning, she hoped the overseers would meet their wishes. She was told to send the old man ; he came, and was told the expenses of the ceremony would be reckoned in the 21. Those ex- penses were, 15s. for the church fees, and 7s. for tine wedding-ring. The Alderman seemed surprised at the amount of the church-fees, and asked the man if they had been living together for a year. " On and off about that time," replied the pensioner. " Were you living together at the thne you were married ?" said the Alderman. " Yes, certainly," replied the hus- band. The wife now told her story ; and the Alderman, after hearing the parties patiently some time longer, said the impression on his mind was, that the old man had been misled, or had misunderstood the committee, and that he might not suffer a disappointment at such a time, he would 1'CM*. mend the gentlemen of Cripplegate to give him the other sovereign.

Eleanor Haddicorn, a miserable-looking Irishwoman, and her daughter, were brought to Lambeth-street office, on Wednesds:y, charged by a poor woman, named Catherine Crawley, with au atrocious ,qn rage. The com-

plainant stated, that on that morning, while at breakf:: 0 mother excited her daughter to pour the tea-kettle of boiling water s t.'1" :ler two infants, which she immediately did, the mother calling out, " Don't spare them I" She endeavoured to protect her children ; but the wretches were not satisfied till they had poured the whole contents of the kettle over them. One of the little sufferers was immediately taken to the Hospital, where it died ; and the other babe presented a most shocking appearance, and is not expected to survive. The two prisoners were remanded for a further examination,

Next morning, the mother and her daughter were again placed at the bar, charged, the former as being an accessory,the latter as being the principal, "in the wilful murder of Mary Moore, an infant aged five mon1h4, the daughter of a seafaring man at present abroad." The evidence of the mother was to the same effect as that given above ; but in order to avoid the quibble which was taken advantage of in Sheen's affair, she underwent a long cross-exa- mination to ascertain the identity of the deceased. The deceased, she said, was an illegitimate child ; it was christened in the Catholic chapel in Vir- ginia-street, by the name of Mary Moore ; and she was generally known among the neighbours as " little Mary." Ann Tommy deposed to the pri- soner Eleanor's saying " that if she could not have it out of the woman she would out of the children." Ann Anderson added, that before she poured the boiling water on the deceased, she first took her own child out of the bed, and placed it near the window. The surgeon stated that the legs, belly, and back of the child were severely scalded; and in his opinion these injuries were the cause of its death. The young prisoner in her defence denied hav- ing made use of the expressions imputed to her, and when she was removing from the dock exclaimed that her life was sworn away. She was fully com- mitted for the wilful murder, and her mother was ordered to be detained for the present.

A man named Noakes, in the employment of Mr. Maudsley, the engineer, was committed to prison from Union Hall, on Wednesday, charged with having robbed his master. He was arrested on Tuesday, in the act of carrying away some rivets which he had concealed under his apron. The prisoner is said to have followed this course of life for about four years.

George Barrow, alias Thonias Hopkinson, was on Saturday brought to Marlborough-street (Alice, for a final examination. The prisoner, in lieu of the tattered old garment thrown over hithwhen he was last at the bar, as a substitute for Mr. Butler's coat and waistcoat, wore on this occasion a fashion- able brown close coat, which it appeared he had the address to borrow from a fellow-prisoner, with whom he has formed an acquaintance since his appre- hension. Many fresh charges of swindling were preferred against him ; but they all bore, more or less, the same character as those already detailed. He was finally committed for trial on three charges.

A young man named Perkins was brought before Mr. Hone, at Union Hall, on Saturday, charged with having robbed his master, Mr. Whitly, pawnbroker. Some days before, Mr. Wrtitly missed property to the amount of 2001. ; and a search having been made, a vast number of duplicates of articles that had been pledged at his master's shop were found in Perking's possession. The prisoner acknowledged, that subsequently to the articles having been pledged, he took possession of them himself, and had money advanced upon them at the shops of different pawnbrokers. In this manner, he always contrived to raise as much money as not only to supply the ex- travagances of a female whom he kept in the New-road, but also to furnish a male companion of his with cash when he wanted it. The prisoner was remanded.

Mr. Baylis, an extensive and respectable pawnbroker and silversmith, who keeps a shop in Ahdersgate-street, and another in Poland-street, ap- peared at the Mansion-house on Wednesday, to show cause why a quantity of plate, valued at 200/. and upwards, found in his possession, should not be delivered to Mr. William Cooper, silversmith, Bartholomew-square, Old- street, as his property, which had been unlawfully obtained from him by a person named Robert Bailey, and pawned at the defendant's shop. It ap- pears that, in February, Bailey called at Mr. Cooper's, and selected the plate in question, on pretence that it was for a friend in Ireland, who was about to be married ; and as part payment Bailey gave him a bill for 150e, purporting to be accepted by Mr. William Williams the auctioneer—the ba- lance was to be paid in cash when his friend came from Ireland. Some time after Mr. Cooper discovered that Bailey had absconded, and that the accept- ance to the bill was a forgery. Mr. Cooper subsequently saw some of his articles in Mr. Baylis's shop window ; and on inquiry, he found that the Arhole of his goods had been pledged for nearly 2001. Mr. Cooper therefore made application to have the plate restored to him, as his property, under authority of the statute 40 Geo. III. sec. 13, which enacts, "that any justice may grant a search warrant to any person whose goods have been unlawfully taken and pawned, or exchanged ; and the said goods being found and iden- tified, and it being proved that they were unlawfully taken, such justice may order the restoration of such goods to the rightful owner." It was contended for Mr. Baylis, that the goods had not been obtained from Mr. Cooper in a felonious manner. The Lord Mayor was inclined to form a different opinion ; but he wished Mr. Cooper to produce evidence as to the identity of all the articles before he proceeded further. _Mr. Cooper promised to do so. Bailey has, it seems committed other frauds and forgeries to an ittlilleil6e amount. The Lord Mayor, on Friday, examined witnesses, heard the argu- ments of counsel in the case. He ultimately directed that portion of the plate found in the City, to be given up to Mr. Cooper ; but with respect to that part of it found in Poland-street, lie declined to issue any order. Mr. Baylis then signified that he should raise an action for the recovery of the plate.

Edwin Wilkinson was brought to Guildhall, on Wednesday, charged with having threatened to kill his father. The young man has followed a very profligate course of life, and associated with abandoned characters, both male and female. He harassed his father for motley; and being refused, seized a poker, and threatened his life. When the officer came to apprehend him, time prisoner tore his shirt from his back, and bit his leg in several places. was sent,to prison in default of bail.

A dashing fellow was brought to Bow-street, on Wednesday evening, on a charge of swindling. He calls himself Albemarle Layard ; but he has assumed five or six other names. For the last eighteen months, this fellow has been levying contributions on tradesmen and others at the West end of the town. He was driviug a handsome cabriolet and fine lady along the New-road, when he was bravely seized, and handed over to a coostable' by Mr. Ballard, a livery-stable keeper, who knew that a lady named Perkins had a warrant against him for stealing her watch. Mrs. Perkins slated, that the prisoner took lodgings in her house, in Seymour Place, in March, for him- self and a livery-servant ; and represeeted himself as a man of fortune. On the IGth of March, the prisoner informed her that be had lost his watch, and requested the lean of hers for a few days ; she lent him a valuable watch ; and on the following day the prisoner with his servant quitted the house, and she never saw him again till that evening. Sonic time after, the servant returned, and produced a pawnbroker's duplicate, stating that the prisoner had pawned the watch at the shop of Mr. Ashman. in the Strand, for 3/. This offence only subjected the prisoner to a fine of 5/. or six months' con-

finement, under the illegal pawning act ; and the magistrate was about to inflict that punishment, when Mr. Ballard preferred a charge which he ,con- sidered amounted to either fraud or forgery. He received a check froth Mrs. Perkins, drawn by the prisoner for 27/. upon the Stamford bank, where the prisoner's father kept cash, and the check was dishonoured, as the pri- soner never had had any effects there. On this charge he was remanded ; and it is thought that numerous other charges of swindling will be preferred against him. The prisoner is said to be the son of a clergyman of the Es- tablished Church, who is related to several noble families, residing at Stam- ford in Lincolnshire ; and he has several brothers who are highly respectable and honourable men. He has been for some time past disowned by his re- lations for his profligate conduct. To his other offences he has added that of having lately entrapped a young lady, to whom he professed to be ardently

attached, away from her aunt. in the country. Ile carried her to sea, osten- sibly for a pleasure sail, detained her till it was very late, landed her at a con- siderable distance from her home, brought her to London on pretence of marrying her, lived with her a few days as his wife, and then deserted her. She was left in the inn (Lomas's hotel) without money or friends. These facts are ascertained to be true ; and the young, woman will be restored to her friends.
