An inquifition was held on the body, and a verdiit was !nought in of Wilful Murder againit the fitd Manna Cabezas, who has since been committed to Winch&ler to take his trial. It appeared on t!ie evidence of the Spanifh furgeon, that freqnent intlances occurred of ievere wounds being given amung the Spanifh prifonets in a private manner. On Friday, as a pour woman, name::l Jones. was rending ballads in a public bottle at Wapping, (he received a variety of infolts from thole who were pre fent ; but the petrol) who was moll outrageous to• wards her, proved to be her own fon. 'l'hey did not know each other at the time, he having been in the naval fervice upwards of twenty years, and realizA by the fortune of war. On recr g nizin g eac!4 , mher l a very affedling fecne - took place, which ended iti his burning her ballads, and taking her away in a c"ach, promifinz to lay her up in lung moorings, during the rem4;ntler of her life. 14,1131.N14T10N OF 4ND:IIEII7,s'. Mr. Angre.vs, who was not fully iornmitta for trial on Friday, becaufe he had promiled to bring forward, on his next appearance, ample teflimony for his exculpation, was yetlerday brought up again before the Magiflrates at the Queen fquare Office— but inftead of adducing evidence in his defence, the Magiftrates were occupied five hours and a half - in hearing further evidence to his crimination. Mr. Young, a Merchant in Leadenhall. ftreet, whom vre mentioned before as the age.nt of Mr. Hank, jun. and who, at the inflance of his father in law, had gone to Mr. Parker, pawnbroker, in Fleet- flreet, and re leafed the box or plate alledged to have been (Wien, and pawned ther e by Mr. Andrews, or his agents, for 221. I os. attended,'and Rated, that while the elder Mr. Harris was a prifoner in the King'sßench, the wife of Mr. Stonehoufe Harris, his friend, came to him and told him, that the box of plates her hufband's pro perty, had been (inlet; from her father's hook ; but the did not then know by whotn. In a few days afterwards he received a note from the elder Mr. Harris, acquainting him the goods were pawned at Mr. Parker's by the perfon who had flolen them. He went thither, and explained to Mr. Parker the circumflances of the tranfaftion ; and Mr. Parker knowing him to. be a man of property and character, offered to furrender the goods• to him, on his paying the principal and interelt for which they flood pawn ed, and indemnifying him from any injurious conic quences. To this Mr. Young acceded, and received the goods. Shortly afterwards, he received a fum mons to attend the Magiftrates, at Guildhall, to an fwer a complaint for having received thole goods from Mr. Parker, under fall:: pretences. He attended accrrdingly, but no pain came forward to fuftain the pretended charge, nor could he ever learn the names of the perfons who had made it. Mr. Edward Warren next appeared, and raid he was a Pilot refiding at Ratcliffe, and alfo an Officer on board his Majefly's yacht. He knew the prifoner about fixteen years fence, hut had not teen him from that time until about five years ago, when he was again introduced to him, by an Attorney— The witnefs was then owner of a fmall veffel, Ira ding to Rotterdam, and Mr: Andrews walled to take his palTage to Rotterdam on board this veffel ; and alfo to (hip a quantity of tobacco, which he pur chafed here, to trade. From tome cattle or other, Mr. Andrews changed his purpofe s but immedi ately previous to Warren's failing, he received a note, conveying to him the compliments of Mr. An d.ews and the Attorney, and requefting the favour of his company at the King's Head, on 'rower Hill, upon particular bulinefs. He attended them, and, after a fhort converfation, Mr. Andrews flared him ' fell to be extremely diftreffed for money, and entreat ed him earnefily to accept a draft in his favour, for a month ; offeting biin, as fecurity, a gold watch, I value about fix guineas, which he produced, and the duplicate for a box of plate, which, he Paid, he had pawned at Mr. Parker's. Warren conceiving the propofal fair, accepted the draft, dated 26th Augult, 1831, and failed upon his voyage. Above thrae months afterwards, on his return, finding the Bill not paid, as Mr. Andrews promifed, he fent,a friend to London with the duplicates, to fecure the plate for his own indemnification : but he was loon informed, that the plate was furrendered to Mr. Young, and that Mr. Andrews had not obtained it by honeft means. He applied to the Magifirates at Guildhall, for a fummons for Mr. Young, but was afterwards informed, by Come of his friends, that he could gain no redrefs without great trouble and expence, and therefore he let the matter refl. He never faw An. drews until three years afterwards, when he met him on Towerhill, and upbraided him with his dilly). nay. Mr. Andrews very humbly apologized for his mircondu4l, protefling that Mr. Wan en would be the laft man he would injure. He promifed to make him ample refiitertion : they went to the (hop of ' Mr. Webb, a butcher in the neighbourhood, where Mr. Andrews gave him an order to receive a honk I and chaife, his property, which were at an inn, kept by a Mr. Smith, at Northfleet, in Kent, and which would he delivered to him on profincing the order. Mr. Warren fent this order by a friend of his going down to Gravelend, who, on prefenting his creden tials to Mr. Smith, the latter expreffed much fail faftian at getting rid of his charge, and receiving 451. for which the hork and chaite remained in du rance, betides the keep for tome weeks. Not judging this a very eligible bargain, he declined the claim, more elpecially, as the chaife might be liable to ano. they claim from a Mr. Miimford, of whom it had been bought by Mr. Andrews, but nut paid for. He underßood the horfe and chaife were afterwards let to hire by Mr. Smith, to repay lime part of his lois, and the bode died in the fervice. Next came forward Mr. Harris, fenior, formerly mentioned, a venerable old man, above lixty, broken I in fpirits as well as health, and the viains of Mr. I Andrews' ingenuity. He Rated, that thongh he had been So many years in prifon, at the fait of the holders of thofe fecurities, which he had been in duced. to fign as a witnefs,when intoxicated with wine, by Mr. Andrews and his affociates, he never received any value whatever for them, nor did he ever know the names or perfons of thole at whole fuir he was arreQed. While he was in prifon, he was informed by a young man, named Warren Haflings, an affillant in his (hop, fence dead, that in a few days after he was fent to prifon, Mr. Andrews bad broken open his drawers, and taken from thence a valuable fnuff box, twelve table and eighteen tea fpoons, with a variety of other articles in plate and linen to above the value of 1461. He was alfo informed by Hal rings, that Andrews had the addrefs to wheedle him out of 801. in bills and money received in a profef fional way from his patients ; and that the property he loft by Mr. Andrews, exclulive of the debt for which he was imprifoned, was 2591. In the wreck of his affairs, all his goods and furniture were fold under execution, upon the fiaitious fecurities which reduced him from a (late of comfort and independ ence to abfolutc beggary in his old age, Co that, on his liberation, after four years imprifonment, he poi= felted but two (billings in the world. A poor woman, named Mary Mortimer, next ap peared, who, with her large and (bunting family, was redarced to beggary by the pretences of Mr. Andrews, in 1796. Her hufband was a working cabinet-maker, and the herfelf,• by working needle w.trk, and the produce of a mangle, helped . to fup port her children. They had a haute at s 4- Great -cat Warner Neel : Mr. Ala Lean Came there to take lodgings for himfelf and a young woman, whom he palled for his wife, with his daughter by a farmer wifee • He profeired to be a gentleman, and a perron named Wildman afterwards erne and took apart ments in the !mule, and paired fot Mr. Andrews's pattnee. The former appeared melt like a gentle man, told her he had a country houfe, where he kept a coach and feven fervants; and he defired, if his fervant elleired in buff came there, and asked for Richard Andrews, Efq. that he might be (hewn up to him. On the Saturday following, Mr. Andrews and his lady went alit together, laying they were going to their lawyer; Mrs. Andrews, on her return, apologized for not being able to pay 7s. for their week's Ineging, and Mr. Andrews afterwards flew into a violent paifion at his lawyer, laying he bad got bonds, deeds, and wills in his hands, and that he would neither go on with his bufinefs, nor fur render his papers, unlela he would advance money. He induced Mrs. Mortimer at that time to lend him for the prefent 265. and then went out. He returned again, and laid he gave his Attorney that fum, but refttfed to proceed further, ntilefs he got more, though he had fureties in his hand for ra,oool. part of his firft wife's fortune. He therefore begged the would procure him three guineas more, as it would fave him from ruin. The poor woman, by borrowing a little, and pawning her clothes and bed-linen, railed the money for him. The next pretence was, to take her eldefi bay into his own counting houfe, to get her next two boys into the Blue-Coat School, which he could, do by fpeaking a ward, and to give to her lad band's employer the contra& for furnithing a large new houfe he was about to take with cabinet-ware and upholaery. In two days afterwards, a letter was brought to him, which he read, and then came into her parlour, amid faidase had jun received what would enable him to male her and her family ; it was a let. ter telling him to go to the Bank to receive a large fum of money. Iu a few days more he applied again; and laid, if they could by any means raffe a little more money for him, they ihould he amply repaid. She told him it was impoffible, her little family was In much embarraffed; but afterwards, induced by his folemn oaths and prornifes of repaying in a day or two, and doing for her family, the was induced to (train every nerve, and mite for him every {hitting lite could. While Mr. Andrews carried on his part of the plat, his/pa/a war working underhand ; the vifited Mrs. Mortimer, pitied her for labouring lo hard, offered to aid her in throe valuable needle-work (he had in hand, merely for amufement, and adually got from her a number of valuable articles to mark for her catiomers ; in a few days afterwards foe in diced the poor seaman to lend her tome clothes, a quantity of which had been bequeathed to her by a filler who had recently died in good cacomaancez, pretending that (he wanted to go and salt the Exe cutors of an Aunt who bad left her a 16ii.ig le gacy of Gaol. as all her own clothes w c r e at 1, e t country hook, and the hag nothing fit to appear in . When the Lady was dieffed in this borrowed plum age, Mr. Andrews, who appeared ready &oft her, oble: ved to Mrs. Mortimer, that his wife looked very fpruce, and though the day was tine, ark•at to borrow an umbrella, Jell it might rain : this albs lot obtained. He and his lady then let out wish their daughter,. but never returned again, taking with them, be tides the poor woman's clothes, the needle work which Mrs.. Andrews In lied j• undertook to mark, and leaving the poor family reduced to the greatea ditirefe. Mr. Champtiey, who keeps a tavern at Richmond. laid that the Prifoner, and a lady, whom he fop pofed to he his wife, and a fervant, lived for feveral days at his hruife, at the rate of upwards of a guinea and a half a day ; he gave him a draft upon Ham mer iley, with whom he had formerly depafited fame calla but who had not had any money of his for Come time before the time of that tranfaation. Mr. James Graham, watch maker, in Piccadilly, Rated, that in the year 1803, the prilaner thrive up to his door in a carriage, with a black let vant behind, both coachman and let rant being dreffed in a livery of blue and Inver. There was a gentleman in the coach whom the prifoner called Major Callender. He laid lie kad been recommended by Surgeon Keate of Bond-flreet, whom the witnefs knew to be a truly refpeltable gentleman. He alighted from the coach, and chute a gold watch, value ao guineas, which the witacla left at die painter's houfe for a fortnight's trial ; the ptifoner left his card, R. Andrew:, Baker ' areet, Portman•fquare. In the courfe of a week, he called again, compared the time of the watch with the, regulator in the thnp, nbferved that the former kept molt excellent time ; he then took with him another gold watch, but of a more elegant conflruatioa, for Mts. A. which he faid he would pay fur both at the Game time. When the witnefs went to the honk it had all' the appearance of grandeur, and therefore he 'could n o t think of making any objeation to filch a gentleman as he appeared to be, having the fccond j watch - But afterwards, when he went for the put ' pole of being paid, Mr. A. was gone, the bell was broke, and the bottle appeared to be flint up. By fame inducement, however, lie prevailed on one of the fervants that remained behind to open the door, and afterwards to condoal him to the places uaially frequented by the ;wanner ; by this means, thooe,h the witnefs could nat ever obtain even a fight of the gentleman, lie became fuch a fonrce of annoyance to him, that at latt dive was a .parcel delivered by a porter at the witnefs's houfe, and on opening it, he ' was moll agreeably furprifed to find it contained his two watches, with only the lots of the two gold keys, value about ii. 4s. it alio contained a letter from the priloner, requelling the witnefs to withdraw the charge that he had made againit the prifoner , before Mr. 'Conant, the Magitirate at Marlborough-areet. Mt. Andrew Sheriff, of Newmaraltreet,• tailor, hated, that notwithstanding he knew the father of the perfon who was called Major Callender, who is a very hoaell man, he knew that the fon, Jem Cal lender, was a molt nntotious charafter ; this petion laid he would not deceive him, and the a itnela gave a fort .of cautious credit, to his recommendation of the prifoner, and made hint fame clothes, but would not leave them behind him until he had got a bill for the amount of his demand. However, afterwards, from the fplendid appearance of the honfe, the hum ['mot let sints, &c. he was induced to give him credit for tome livery clothes far the fervants to the amount of fomething about 201. for which he was never paid. ; Mrs. Miles, of Lemon-areet,• Goodmin's-fields, gated, that in the year 1805,-the prifoner had, by hi; genteel polite behaviour, Witted her to oiie credit ; but the had Keit her account with her, and was not (worn.
