Madame Rachel and her Bail. —On 17th March, Mr E. Lewis, solicitor, made an application to Mr Tyrwhitt, of Marlborough street Police-court, to induce him to compel Madame Rachel to surrender to her bail, her sureties—Messrs Stack and Solomons, particularly the former—being apprehensive that she was about to quit the country. Mr Tyrwhitt demurred to the application, pointing out that he had no power, but eventually sanctioned the attendance of the police at Madame Rachel's residence, in Maddox-street, Bond-street, in order to prevent a breach of the peace while the person of the famous enameller was secured. After leaving the court Mr E. Lewis and inspector proceeded to Mad-dox-street and found a scene of immense disorder. About 100 persons from the country, who had bought goods and paid a deposit, coming to claim the delivery of them found the house barricaded. Determined not to bo thus defrauded, as they assumed, one of the party procured a scaf- | fold-pole, and, driving in the window, (gained access to the house. This forcible entry enabled the police, after some difficulty, to get possession of Madame Rachel, who is now once more in Newgate waiting the deoision of the Court of Criminal Appeal.
