They were the old etotes from the Weald of Kent bank, which had failed several years ao. They were dated Cranbrook. 1lSll, but the dates wece altered to 1823. They were drawn by Mlessrs.

Alderman Cox, but neither the qirl nor her mother nppeared. The motherand daughter were in attendance yesterday, and King reported, that their absence on the previous day had been occasiotied by the sudden illness of the father-.n-law; and as the mother could not leave hinm, she thought It of ne use to eend the girl by herself. The parish-officers of Limehouse had also sent their beadle to give every information respecting thern, and from his accountof the girl's geseeral character,as well as t:om the answers elicitet fromher ons more tninute examination), enotigih was gatlered to put an end to ihe Ct. pitas ofl'ene. She, h'twevt-r, still persibtetl as to the assault in the coach. and that the attempt inade upon her was against her consent. A gentleman of the name of Nichols, from the Deanf a;d Dumib lestitution, attended, bringing with him the following lctter from Dr. Watson, the manager -. "' During her continuance in this institution, her mind v/as irr. pressed with correct notions of moral and religitous duties ; and al- though, from hayinjg rather a dull capacity, her acquiremnents were not equal to most of her schtoolfellowrs, yet she vras fully instructed as to the nature of vice and virtue, and the iintbilityBf morgi agents to future rewards snO. punishm.ments. " It is paitiul to think how mluch shie must have suffered from neglect since she left theinstitution. "A circum6stance much against the present prosecution has been brought to Dr. WVatson's recollection since he hTd the honour -of x call flron Aldermanu Cox thi mnorning. Two or tlree years ago, the gentleman who now attends to explain to her, had thesame paintul office to perform at tshe Old Bailey, where she stood at the bar ac- cused of stealing a watch. She was acquitted, it is true but he in- forms Dr. Watson there was too much evidence of hier 'iee dog bad comnpany to give hopes of her purity." Te view niow taken of the case by Mir. Alderman Cox was pre- cIselh that entertained by the Reverend Doctor. 'The girl, it was now clear, had strolled into liolborn, and hlad been in the com snv of' the cnaclitoen for an hour or inore, and liad got into the coac:'s} at first voluntarily. Sle, however, still perristed that the two prisoners attempted torce upon her; and from the evidence of Hughes. tbe watchman, it was quite clear, froln all ttiat lie observed, that shle was il the very act of resisting when he came u p ; indeed, the coona du5ct of tue feilows themselves afforded a strong confirmation of thiat fact. The character f' the girl, i beAlderman observed. fonri ed neither excuse nor justification for the outrage committed upon her by the prisoners, and although the chiarge for the capital offence seas iiowv dole awar, he felt it hlis duty to commit them to find baU to answer for the assault. A regard to thie charaeter of the Institution renderr. it Important to notice, thiat tihis unnftrtsnaie girl left it rtearly six years ago, lier time having expired at Christmas, 1818. AlARYLEDONE-OFFICE.-An elegantly dressed female, of ger) teel iianners, was broughit up one a charge af insulting and annoying a person calling ! imself Captain Browii, and wio gave his residence 461 Upper Thornhaugh-atreet. rhe Captain stated, that the lady had forinerly lived under his protection, but tlat her itproprieties bad compelled him to breask off the c'nnexion: since when, slie had annoyed and abased hin whenever sthe met him. T'le preceding evening,shemet hilm it Chara lotte-street, and applied to him tlce epithets *' RasCal, fellow, scoundrel, &c.;" and an sised herself with pointing him out to the ridicule ot' ber conapanions. In reply to this charee, the female, in very correct language as. sured the magistrate that the charge wvas unfounded. Shie had the inisf'mrtune, about ten months ago, to become acquuhitedi with ils complainant, who represented himself as a mini of gold property, and ofhered to take lher under lis lprotectioIn, whiic she assented to, in the hopes of' being rescued fromn the unhappy Iife sihe watsleadar,g. Acoordingly, slie wetittolivewith him, at No. 7, Gower-place, where she had not been lung, before he intimiated to her tits: his finances wer climited, and that he should expect her to go ouit occa- sional1y, of'evenin:g, to obtain money for the mahittenance ofa their mutual respectability of appearance. She was astonished at the propositintt, and told hiiim, tihat he could have rio regard for her, or he never would have niade ber suci atn offir. le msadie answer, that tie wives of many respectabVe persenr putsuied such a course, and that there was nouhting in it of wvhich she aecd feel ashamed. 5ne soon after found tha.tt the whole of the house was let oat by himii to ladies of immoral character. Finding she would nob comply with his proposals, lie eventuatly dismissed her, and had evesr since pursoed her with unlrelenting hatred. The coraplaittant denied the truth of the ablove statement, but adntitted that ttiere were several kept mistresses in the house. He went on to charge ber with gross habits of intoxication, and WiLb re- peated infidelities. M1r. RAW.lINSON observed, that he liad broughti the evils he complained of on himselt by forming such a colinexion antl afier sos-e f urther obscrvations, not Xvery flattering to the complainiant, he asked htin who lie was. lie replied, that he held a commirssion in His Majesty's service, and had accomnpanied the well-knowvn 1itungo Parke in his untortunate expedition to Africa At present lie residrd at 4f, Ulpper Ttornaughi-streer. Mr. RAWLINSON said, if lie did iuolti a commission in His di;. ests's service, lie v:assorrm to see bt in his present astuation. The conduct of both parties was reprehensible; but if tiere were aty tumn in the scale, it was not in his favour. Turning to the female, the worthy magistrate proceeded to say that lie should that time dis- charge her, but th.t if she is future offered any molestation to shte complainant, 'se would csrtafnllv comuLit her. ToW!,-HsALL.-Yesterdav Jamres Y'oung, a young man about 23, was broughit np for re-examination on the ciarge of violting the person of Ann Lerwav, a girl 15 years of age. On the prilsoner's being put to the bar, the evidence taken on the former hcaring rias read over, which was to the effect, as given b' the prorecstrix, that the prisoner hired a bed-room at her mother's house, No. 5, Grego- ry's-place, St. Thomas's-rents, on Saturday, ansi slept there that sight. On Sunday her niodier went to Croydon, and returned at half-past ten at night : the p.isoner came in between 9 and 10, anr remained in the tront ront witka her and her two sisters, one 18, thc othet 22, and three other men lodgers: one of thelodgers sat on the same chair with one of her sisters, and tde prisoner drew her, tie prosecutri'x, on hiis knee, but took noother liberty. About ten o'clock; he retired to his bel, ; and tihe prosecutrix lo hers about twelve, whicbf was on the same floor, in a room enly disided fronm the prisoner's by a slight boarded partition, the door of wvhicd had no fasteniAg. About two o'clock sbe awoke, and foussd the prioeoper in bed with her is the act of violation, whom sliepuished from her, saying, " Get von goise, You rascal," and he returned to his own room, whittier he desiredi her to follow him; sihe wvas so terrified, that she feared to scream, and lay about half an hour betrore she wrapped thc sheet about her, and ran down and informed her mother. The mother corroborated tie latter part of this evidence, but contradicted the prosecutrix's relation in a most inatr'ial point. Alderman J. 3. SaftT-c then interrogated the girl, anti repeatedly warned her of thie peril the prisoner's life was in ; but she persisted in swearing to his person, and the commission of the violation, hbt cot to the capitatl chiarge; and on being asked if any of the neigb- bours or others hail at anv time commented uporn her conduct, firtnly replied no person eyerhad. The Mlagistrate here asked the prisoner if Le wighbedto ask the prosecutrix any questions, wvhcn he replied, that while he re- inained in the sitting-roon on Sutnday night, the -prosecuirix fre- quenitly went out, and he heard her romping with tonie one it) the street, which drew the observation from some femnale, whichi he dis- thictly heard, " Hlad I a dozeni daughters, I should prefer see,ing them in their graves to witnessing in their coniuct such as vours." This the prosecutrix said was applied to tier companion. 'Thc pri- soner adcled, that she afterwardis returRed, and, flinging her armts round the neck of a girl of her own age, kissed lier with extretr.e ardour in his presence, saying, " Tbat's the way tsweetheartc.kiss their girls." Mlrs. Mfilard, a near neighbour, acknowledged site was the person who addressed the prosecutrix, as stated by the prisoner, who.e conduct, site considered, justly d!eserved the remark. Mrs. Susan Cleves, ano.her nicghbour, hail frequenily secher, at a late hour, with young fellows, and catcl stzangers by the asra as they wtere casually passinz. Several other neighbours deposel to the improper conduct of d e prosecutrix. John Johnson, ttirnkey of the Borough Compter, was then er- antinedl. Ile had, at the prisoner's request, taken a letter from him to the prosecatrix-s mother. The letter was here produced, and rsn as follows _ "Madam,-The confinement I suffer is the greatest punishment I have ever been subject to; you are aware of the datigerous ritua- tion in which you have placed me. I had taken a giass of liquor, but aRn unconscivus of injuring your chtildh Show me mercv, and I will be grateful ever." N Not if he filled mny lap with sovereigns," was her reply. "I'll hang him, if possible." alr. Edward Brown, dresser of Guy's Hospital, said, the prose- cutrix had been injttred, but whether recently or not, he could not determine. Four watclmen spoke to frequently seeing the prosectutrix out at all hours of the day or night with yoang fellows. Alderman J. J. SeesTsE said, after severe reprebension of the rao- ther's neglect of tier child's morals, tiat, after the evidence addnced, he could not commit the prisoner, but would hold him to bail if she (the mother) thought fit to indict him at the sessions.-Thepriste, who denied the charFe in toto, was then taken Sfron the bar. USIONHXALI..- rwo eiders of a JeNwish synagogue, lately erect- ed in Prospect-place, Lambeth, prefcrred a charge against a young mau named Brcwcr, for obstricting the worship of the synagogur, by throwing stones through the wisudows. The complainants stated, that wbile the congregation wrere wor- shipping, a. volley of stones rnd mud was thrown at the window from a chaise-yard which adjoined the synagogue. They immnedi- ately ran to the yard, where they found a number of personz, an.t the prisoner breaking a pantile with a hamnmer. They produced the tile and hammer, and also a tile of similar appence which had been thrown through the window. The Magistrate told the prisoner he had committed a ver-y serioua offence, for which he must find bail to take his trial, as all persons must he protected in5. their wMorship of the Deity. The prisoner declared that he did not throwt any thing -as the windows; and as the complainants appeared to think the act had beetn committed by others. and that the prisoner was only preparing for sffence,the Algistrate, at theirdesisre,allowed him to accompany them, on his promise of giving every assistance to aprehdc.a the more culpable offfenders POLICE.
