IIATTOw-GARtDEN.-Yesterday,George IMen was broughtup for final excaminatiotn, on a charge ot'horse-stealiiig, at Elthami, in Kent. Theprisoner, it appeared, hiad formerly lived as groom to a gentle. mnan in Surrey, atid by his ttniform good conduct and sobr-iety, had continued so to ingratiate himsBelf into the goodI graces of his em.. ployer, that lie was admnitted to the fullest confidence, ard became, in fact, a kind of " major-clomo" in the domestic arrangements of the family. Possessed of' a handsome person and aL peculiarly in. sinuating address, young Iden determined not to content himiself in the hiumble capacity of even as favoured domiestic, bat boldly aspired to the still higher hionour of lils young mistress's hand, who, in an unguiarded miioment, consented to unite her fortunes to his. During the absence of the family, (at least the elder branches, wlio were then in town,) 1dem, the confidcate, was left in charge~ of the hiouse, and, seizing this opportunity, he pressed his suit with the youing lady (not quiite sixteen) so -vlry successfuslly, dieat she becamne the companion of his flight, though it has since ap-. pearetd that neither of them actually knew w'here they were going, or when to stop. The circumstance was happily discovered alniost imime,I tdiatelv after, and the fiugitives were traced into Kent, where it seems 1den fias some connexions in the ran k of respectable farmierst,though lie preferred alife of servituide intil love taughithim ambition.

She then said that she saw the-man walking Aion., High-street, Shoreditch, and her attention was drawn towards hiiii by observing thte Bow- street patrol seize him by the collar. and proceed to irag him alon7g with great violence. upon which she told them they ought to be aslhamed of tlhemselves " to ill-sue any maai in that manner." Hav- ing concluded her statement, she dropped a cartesy to the magistrate, and withtirew. The patrol then state:l, that observing a pers,on in a state of in- toxication, calling out verv loudly, and gesticalating with great vio- lence, followed by a great number of people who gathered round hi-m as he went along, thev went after him. He entered a conk's shop, antI conducted himsel?in a verv boi6terous manner; and on their re- questing him to go quietl honme, he attacked them with gret fury, collaring and striking them repeatedly. A mob coHected and brbuied them, and endeavorrred to force the man from therm They reneir- ed their persuasions with him to go his way peaceably. but be refus- ed, and persevered in his violence towards them; so that they were at lengtl obliged to take him into custody. Thomas Vann, one of the constables of this office, said, that he sawg the Bow-strect patrol surrounded by a mob, who were abusing, bullvins, and ill-treating themn, using their utmost entdeavour to persuade the drunken man to go quietly home; but he would not, and he behaved in the most violent nmanner to them, and struck them repeatedly. Amonez the ctowd of persons who were express- ing themselves in the most abusive terms to the patrol, he partico-. larly observed the female wlho had given her evidence, whom he heard repeatedly cry out-" The rasc,ls, tbey ought to be asharned ofthemselves; the villains, they only want to get 5s. ofthe poor man." Seeing the mob deterttired upon intimidating the patrol,he told them not to suffer themselves to be made lools ot by anv one. but to take the man to the office; which advice they followed. The prisoner, stretching out his arms with great violence towards the Magistrate, exclaimed-" Who's aftaid of you ? I have doe nothing to be afraid of." AlMr. Tw-yePoa.s) then oraered, that for being drutnk and conduseting himself improperly towards a Magiatrate, be should be loeked up until he was sober. in about two liours afterwards, a very respectable tralesrnan made )is appearance befc-c the Miagistrate. and said he was a friend of the unfortunate person who had been locked up. He -as a man in a vcry respectable wav of business; but the circumstance of adaughter, on whom he almost aoated, having drowneri herself a year or twego. had unsettled ilis mind. and the most trifling excess in drinking in- ftria!ed him almost to nmadness. He added, that a lady, named Fermic. had informed him that his friend had been very bhamefulry treated by the officers.
