One day last week, as a Dragoon was on his return from duty, to his quarters, a small public-house, called Bardean Hut, in the Forest, near Petersfield, in Hampshire, his attention was arrested by the cries of some person in distress, which induced him to ride up to the spot from whence they proceeded, where his humanity was shocked on beholding a woman tied to a tree, with the tears, which her situation and suffering had produced, actually frozen to her cheeks, and (horrid to relate), quite naked, having been stripped and robbed of every article of her dress by two villains, who afterwards left her in that deplorable condition. The Dragon instantly cut the chords that bound her hands and feet to the tree, and having, in some measure, restored to her the use of her limbs by rubbing them, wrapped her up in his cloak, put her on his horse, and proceeded on to his quarters, where he soon after arrived, and as he was conducting the shivering object of his care into the house, she looked through a window that commanded a view of the kitchen, suddenly shrunk back, and in a faint voice exclaimed, "there are the two men that robbed me of my all, and used me so cruelly!" The soldier, in consequence, entered the kitchen, and secured the men, who were the next day taken before a Magistrate; and, after the necessary examination, fully committed to Winchester gaol, for trial at the next Assizes.
