t `~ f, `•~~. FL. "'CI ~~ 1 7* OLD BAILEY, Sept. 17. 01.0 COURT. (Before !Ur. Justice GASELSZ.) dark Joel, aged N, ~t;:st)(1 charred with breaking and ehterirm the dwelling-house of John Bloom, on the 27th of May last, and stealing 14 pieces of silk, his property. The witnesses for the prosecution, being principally Jews, were sworn with their bats on, and by the Old Testament. Mr. Bnonruce stated the case to the Jury. Susanna Bloom, the daughter of the prosecutor, deposed that on the 27th of May last she went into her father's warehouse about halt-pa'; one, and saw that it had been broken into by the window laavin:: been taken down, and some property taken out. When her father came home at five, she mentioned the circumstance to bim Her father's house is No. 24, Spital.square. John Bloom the son of the prosecutor, deposed that the value of the silk taken was about X 520 ; the shortest piece was worth from Eli to £l2. In going up Regent-street a few days after, he saw ...me silk in the shop of Mr. Poulson, aed identifying it as his own, be took In officer with him and seized it. The whole that was taken fit!! of his premi•ws was 900 yards. The way in which he aseera'ned these were his pieces at Mr. Poulson's was, that he had u::ly ninde tele of the brown sort and of the other pattern. r. 11eniontin Poulson, a tailor, residing under she Quadrant, Regent-Art:et, deposed that he purchased the two pieces of silk in t ! nestkri from Mr. Shoolbred, on the 23d of June last. .Lihn Shoolbred deposed that be lives at 105, Tottenham-court ro ut : that on the 25d of June last he soil to Mr. Poulson a piece ..f brown silk, and another piece that he had purchased of a Mr. Vt.nburg ; he had also purchased about 114 _yards of Ballantine on the 12th of June, of the same person. Mr. Bloom was in h.s .hep when he went home, and said these silks were his. :Moses Vanburg deposed, that on the 12th of June last, he sold some silk to Mr. Shoolbred; that he had these silks to sell for Mr. Isaac Israel ; he received these silks the Tuesday before the 12th of June. _ _ Isaac Israel deposed, that he knew the prisoner Joel; that he came to his shop in the beginning of June with some silks to sell, ...nd be purchased about 114 yards of him. He took them to Mr. Vanburg to sell for him. Joel was the person who brought the whole of the silk wrapped up to his place. The two pieces in question are waistcoat silk. and it was waistcoat silk that he pur chased of Joel. He sent to Mr. Vanburg to look at the silk, and value it, as he was the person who sold nn commission for him. ale borrowed 201. of Vanburg to purchase this silk. Mr. Brown, the police officer, stated that he went with Mr. bloom to Mr. Poulson, and seized the two pieces of silk now before the Cuurt. On the night of the 12th of June he took the prisoner Jed into custody in Petticoat-lane. The silk was identified by Mr. Bloom producing the remaining part of the piece. The Junos told the prisoner that now was the time to speak, if be had any thing to say in his defence. To which the prisoner replied, he was quite innocent of the charge. Several witnesses, also sons of Israel, were examined, who gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Justice GAUL!' summed up the evidence, and the Jury is and the prisoner Guilty of stealing in the dwelling-house, but not of breaking and entering. (Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.) 2t.ibert Ccrter, aged 43, Elizabeth Carter (his wife) aged 41, and itt-bert (their son) aged 18, were indicted for stealing a 251. Bank Ilf England note, and other notes, the property of Mr. Richard Marra; other counts alleged the notes to be the property of Johanna O'Keefe, and others as belonging to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Robert Carter, the elder, was also indicted for receiving a Bank note of 301. one of 204 and two of 51. well knowing them to be ;mien. Anotruns stated the case on the part of the prosecution ; znd Mr. Flown and Mr. BILODRICS appeared for tha prisoners. All the witnesses were ordered out of Court, and the female pri srner was allowed a seat. _ _ . "The circumstances of the case, as they were detailed on the part I the prosecution, are as follow :—Dr. Farre, of Charter-house -cuare, was the nephew and executor of a Mrs. O'Keefe, deceased, :rho had lodged in Carter's house. Airs. O'Keefe died on the Bth f June last, possessed of Bank-notes for 225/. which were locked writing desk with other money and a bill, and the desk had been owned, and the notes extracted. In the desk was found a .I.emcrauclum of the death of itlrs. O'Keefe, in the hand-writing .f the younger prisoner. The deceased's name was written " C'Keith," and as young Carter was in the habit of thus mis spelling her name, this circumstance strensthened the suspicion.— It appeared also that some of the notes had been paid into the of England since the Bth June, and were endorsed" Carter." Dr. Farce, a physician, lived in Charterhouse-aquas. Saw Mrs. O'Keefe on the Ist June last, at 9t, Drury-lane. On the Bth of Jury went there again—had been out of town. Told Mrs. Car its that he was administrator to the late Mrs. O'Keefe. She said she imaw it. Witness told her he had proof that the desk had been cpctied, and that bank-notes to a considerable amount had been unloved from the desk. She said she could not help it, she had dune her duty, and when he pressed her again on the subject of the notes, she denied all knowledge of it. Witness then told her it was the last time be should have it in his power to show that snc:cy he wished. She again denied all knowledge of the notes. Witness told her to send all the property to Chatterhouse-square, aid at the some time to send her ball. Witness then went to the police-office. Alm Carter never told him that Mrs. O'Keefe had given the ',Qtr.: to her. Oa his etoss-examination he stated, that Mrs. O'Keefe was a very eccentric woman, and used to dress like a pauper. Miss Springweller, Mr. Richard Franks, and the other witnesses examitned at Bow -street, repeated their former testimony as to the facts. The prisoners being called on for their defence, the elder Carter sai2 his wife had been in the habit of keeping the cash for twenty yeas, when he wanted money he got it from her : that was all he of it. The younger Carter said he was in the habit of receiving money fern his mother and paying it for his fatbet, which was all he had to .ay to the charge. The wife put in a written paper, which stated that the deceased was a very troublesome woman, and overbearing, and frequently said she was independent of every one, and would do as she pleased with her own. The prisoner was very attentive to her, and Ire. quently got up several times in a night to assist her. Mrs. O'Keefe orered to put her son in the army ur navy as an officer, and was so mach attached to the prisoner that she would scarcely suffer her et:t of her sight. A few days before she died she ordered the door :1 , he locked, and put a roll of bank notes into the pesoner's hand, 1 hid her keep it if she died, and say nothing of it, for if she !i.d ...very thing in the room should be the prisoner's. Mrs. Robins, a lodger in the prisoner's house, had heard the de:eased say, on the Friday before her death, that Mrs. Carter hal been very kind and attentive to her, and that she was to have all bar property when she died, and she had already made a very handsome compliment. Cross-examined—She lodged in the house for nine weeks before Mr.. O'Keefe's death, and saw her four or five times the first six weeks before her death ; and every time she saw her she said she would give Mrs. Carter all her property. Mrs. Williams said she was assisting Mrs. O'Keefe the night el.•re she died, when Mrs. O'Keefe said to Mrs. Carter," Carter, my dear ; Carter, my love, I want no one here but you. You are the first here." She had heard Mrs. O'Keefe say to Robert Carter, fly youth, I respect you; if you wish for a commission in either rtr y or navy, I'll buy it for you." A multitude of witnesses were called to character. They were req hbours of the prisoners, and bad known them from 10 to 20 They rave them excellent characters for honesty and sobriety. Ma. Baron VAUGHAN summed up the evidence. He said, that et.. capital charge would not hold, inasmuch as the dwelling in ss bid) the property was charged to be stolen was the house of the elder male prisoner. He was also of opinion that there was no evidence to implicate the two male prisoners with receiving the roperty, knowing it to be stolen. It appeared that Mrs. Carter pt the cash accounts of her husband, and the two male prisoners were in the habit of receiving money from her in the way of busi stes,.. With respect to the female prisoner, a very serious question arose. He was bound to mention to the Jury, that though the ft:- male prisoner said in her defence that all the property of Mrs. 0 Keefe was given to her, yet she made no claim to the bill of ex change. She also denied to several witnesses all knowledge of the holes. The Jury bad to determine upon those matters, and if they had icy fair and reasonable doubt of the prisoner's guilt, she had a right to the benefit of that doubt. The Jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a verdict of Nos Guilty with respect to the two male prisoners, and Guilty of simple larceny with respect to the woman. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, before the prisoners were removed from the bar, wished to observe that the two male prisoners went out of Court without the least stain on their characters. •.• It ought to have been stated yesterday, th it the Sheriff of I.oedon claimed and received £289, the property of Johes and tiiynard convicted of forgery. NEW COURT. John Pasosan, Charles Quirley, ,Anthony Colvin, t try Verjeant, ants John Forbes, were indicted for a conspiracy to defraud William Rees. 'fhis trial occupied the Court during a great portion of the day, but as our readers are already acquainted with the details through our Niansion-bouse police report, it will be only necessary to recal ilieni to their recollection by the following outline of the case : In the month of Alai eh List the Royalist, South Sea whaler, ar rived at Gravesend, with a cargo of oil oa board, after a voyage of thirty-two months. One of the prisoners, who is a slopseller, im mediately went on board the vessel and offered to purchase of Rees, who was one of the crew, and was entitled to upwards of two tuns of oil, as his portion of the cargo,—such being the mode In which sailors on board this description of vessels are paid for their services,—his share of the oil. Rees declined the offer.— On the next day the vessel went into dock, and Rees went to lodge with a man named Sullivan. On the 26th, Colvin, with whom the prosecutor formerly lodged, took the prisoner Forbes, who acted the part of a sheriff's officer on the occasion, to Sullivan's house, and pointing to flees, said, There is your man; I have nothing further to do in the business." Forbes then pre tended to have a writ against Rees for a debt of 71. Lis. alleged to he due to Colvin for nine weeks board and lodging, and took him into custody, Rees protesting that he owed Colvin nothing for board and lodging, although he might owe him a few shillings for waterage. They then conveyed him. Sullivan accompanying him as his friend, to a public-house called the Mitre, where Forbes ordered a pint of gin and a gallon of beer. The other pri soner:, one of whom (Quickley) was partner to Pasman, shortly afterwards came in. here the alleged debt was again demanded, and Pasman, to prevent the man from being taken to prison, proposed to purchase his share of the oil; to which after much objection, the prosecutor ultimately acceded, and signed a paper which be supposed to be intended fur a bill of sale. Pasman then gave bins a check on his bankers for 441.65.64. for which he signed a receipt. The check was cashed by.Forbes,who stopped the 71. 13s. out of it, and 11. ss. as the cost of the pretended writ, and then banded the prosecutor the balance. All the defend ants were more or less concerned in the transaction ; Quixley and Serjeant having assisted in drawing up the documents. The pro secutor having afterwards consulted an attorney on the subject, the latter served notice on the owners of the ship not to transfer prose cutor's share of the cargo, which amounted to between 1001. and 2001. on account of a pretended bill of sale, which had been ob tained from him by gross fraud. He also lodged informations before the Lord Mayor, who directed him to prefer a bil of in dictment against all the parties. His Lordship held Colvin to bail, and issued a warrant against Forbes. Witnesses were called for the defendants, and the defence set up was, that Palmate had not purchased the oil from the prosecutor, but merely advanced the t 44 on account of it, as is the usual prac tice amongst persons in his line ; in proof of which, one of the do cuments signed by Rees, and purporting to be a a receipt for so much money on account, was produced. The other document, however, signed by him at the same time, was not forthcoming. It was also contended, that even if a case of fraud were made out, still there was no evidence of previous concert, to establish the charge of conspiracy. Several witnesses gave the defendants a good character. The Jury having retired for about half an hour, returned a ver dict of Guilty against all the defendants. MIDDLESEX SZSSIONS, Scpt 17. The Magistrates or the County having assembled this morning for the transaction of bufinesi, Mr. Sergeant Pat.t. took an oppor tunity of calling the attention of the Court to a subject which, he observed, had been noticed in a 51urning Paper ; and which, as it appeared to him, was an abuse which certainly requited correction. The article to which the Learned Sergeant alluded, appeared yesterday in a Morning Paper, and in to the following offect " Exrxxxxs or WirNessits.— A Correspondent, who was a witness on a trial at the present Ohl Bailey Sessions, complains that, notwithstandine the recent order of the Civic Authorities, forbidding the traffic in tickets for a witness's expenses for at tendance and loss of time, the evil stiU exists to an increased de gree, from the limited time the Treasurer's Office (where the tickets are payable) is kept open—viz. from eleven o'clock till dime in the afternoon. This is attended with much inconveni ence, more especially to those witnesses who reside any distance from the metropolis. The above correspondent informs us that he resides at Hendon ; he was in attendance three days, for which he received a ticket, entitling him to receive 10s. 6d. being the usual allowance of 35. 6d. a day. On presenting the ticket at the Treasurer's Office, a few minutes alter three o'clock, he was told he was too late, he must call on the following day. Bather than be pot to the loss of another day, in coining to town on purpose to present this 105.6 d. ticket, he sold the ticket to a bystander, who was on the look-out for such customers, for the sum (Afire shillings, and was told by the purchaser that it was not the first ticket he had purchased that day, at a similar sacrifice on the part of the holder. " At all Assize towns the Treasurer's Office h open as many hours as the Court sirs, and why it should not be so with the Treasurer for the Middlepex Office remains to be explained." In consequence of the notice taken of this subject by Mr. Ser geant Nu, a long conversation took place among the Magistrates present, from which it appeared, that on the conviction of a pri soner at the Old Bailey the prosecutor applied ro the Court for his own expenses and those of his witnesses ; but on these being allowed by the presiding Judge, the parties were not able to obtain payment there, but were obliged, atter obtaining the proper certi ficate from the officer of that Court, to proceed with the document to the Treasurer's office, at the Clerkenwell Sessions House, to obtain the sum allowed. But as it frequently happened that the person in whose favor the order was made out was nut able to reach the Trea surer's office till after three o'clack,the answer be got en presenting the paper was, that he was too late for that day, and that he must call again on the following day. This, to a person resiuin' fifteen or twenty miles in the country, proved a considerable disadvantage, as he could only elect between returning to town front his home on the following day, or going to the expense of passing another night in town, after the business for which he attended was concluded. Some of the worthies who prowl about the courts of justice, to see what they can catch for a living, and who have become aware of the dilemma in which country witnesses are front this cause fre quently placed, have found means to turn these circumstances to their advantage, and are always at hand to offer to purchase the tickets of the witnesses and prosecutors at half price, so as to afford these latter an opportunity of returning home immediately, without waiting for the next day's opening of the Treasurer's office. Mr. Sergeant Pm thought that such a course was highly repre hensible, and conceived that the Court was bound to interfere, to prevent the recurrence of a practice, which went to defraud country people of what was their just due, for the benefit of a set of fellows, who were sure to be gainers by the arrangements they made. The Learned' Sergeant concluded by moving that, during the period of the Old Bailey Sessions, the Treasurer's Office should remain open till six o'clock in the evening. Sir Robert Baker (the county Treasurer) had no objection, as far as his own personal convenience was concerned, that the Trea surer's office should remain open longer than at present ; he had been aware of the practice of tickets being purchased at the Old Bailey to save the holders the trouble of coming to the Middlesex Sessions-house with them; but he rather doubted whether they were bought at so exorbitant a profit. If the rate at which they were purchased was Is. in the pound, or something of that sort, he did nut see that anything very unjust took place, and there could be no doubt that it was a great saving of time to the ticket holders to receive their money at the Old Bailey, instead of having to come up to Clerkenwell to present them at the office. After some further observations the conversation finally dropped, on the understanding that the Treasurer's office, while the Old Bailey Sessions were sitting, should be kept open till five in the afternoon. COLONEL SIBTIIORPE.---At. the annual meeting of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, the Gallant Colonel censured the absentee landlords, and said that money, like manufacture, should be spread, and spread at home. His own custom in letting land was to instruct his agent to let it as he would take it himself ; with no other guide than a remunerating profit.—(Loud Cheers). A► his agent was present, he would speak to the same effect. The Colonel concluded with saying, that he had seen enough of the follies and gaieties of life, and had now no higher wish than to spend his days among his tenantry and friends, and to do the most good in this honourable sphere of duty should be his present am bition and his future amusement—(Reiterated applause). HONOURABLE FELLOW-I'EELING.A 'if...Maris:Ode in stance of fellow-feeling recently occurred in Martinique. A slave having robbed his master, was condemned to death, together with a man of colour, who vitt tried with hint as an accomplice. 'ibis sentence was confirmed by the Royal Court. No resource was lett, as none but freemen have the privilege of an appeal to the Court of Cassation. The freemen of colour of the colony instantly raised a subscription to redeem their tawny brother, in order that he might enjoy the benefit of an appeal to the Supreme Court. In consequence of the rapid rise of the Severn, ar.d the high spring tides of the present week, the meadows along the whoie line of the river are under water, and the races at Glou cester and Tewkesbury are postponed until the inundation has subsided. Thursday selinight the Observatory cf the Royal Mi litary College at Sandhurst, near Bagshot, was broken open, and robbed of several mathematical instruments and a brass time piece. The burglary is supposed to have been committed by a man named FranciaKenneth, about twenty years of age, and pitted with the small-poz, who has been working as a labourer about Sandhurst, and was seen on the road to London the following morning with a bundle under his arm. He very lately broke open his father's house, and robbed it, and has attempted lately to ob tain money under false pretences from several persons about the College. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING, 1829. DONCASTIR, SM. 16. In a former Report, we mentioned how troublesome the low gamblers had been to the police, without then having an idea of the extent of the gangs or their proceedings. On Monday there could not have been less than 1000 of them on the race-ground, their depredations being carried on so openly, and with such an apparent intention of resisting any interruption, that for some time the police were completely at bay. They repeatedly declared that if any attempt was made to stop them, " there should be no Leger run for," and assembled in a body of nearly 300 before the Mansion-house, where they reiterated their intention to set the Mayor at defiance in the most insulting terms. In the course of the afternoon, the constables made endeavours to capture some of them, which rendered matters so serious, that strong mea became indispensable. Lord Wilton, one of the Stewards, consulted with the Mayor nn the propriety of reading the Riot Act, and calling out the military. This being dune, the dis turbance was in some degree abated. Yesterday the rioters again assembled in great force, and several desperate contests took place between them and the police, in which several were wounded on both shies—one of the gamblers so badly, that it is reported he died of the injuries be received. Many were taken away covered with blood ; indeed, at one time it was greatly feared that the dragoons would be compelled to charge them. Fortunately, however, the con stables succeeded in taking the ringleaders into custody without mili tary aid. Lord Wilton was extremely active in directing and assisting the police; at one time surrounded by the miscreants, who en deavoured to pull him off his horse , and there is little doubt that had they effected this the result would have been fatal. By great personal exertion, and with prompt aid given by Lord Worcester and Colonel Peel, the Noble Lord escaped the imminent danger in which he was placed. The keeper of the gaol (which they swore they would pull down) was knocked down and handled very roughly, but escaped without any severe injury. Owing to the praiseworthy exertions of the police, the rioters were dispersed before the St. Leger was run for, and two or three waggon loads of them sent to prison.

Mr. Petre's Granby also corning strong into :he market, and was backed at 4 to 1 and 9 to 2. Voltaire was quoted at 7tol, it being understood that he would start for it. The odds were as follow : _ _ sto 2 agst Laurel I 4to 1 agst Granby 3 to 1 Fleur de Lis 7 to 1— Voltaire. ST. !AGM—Fearing that we were not sufficiently explicit in the early part of this race, we beg to add to our description of it, that Rowton went up to Frederick just after passing the Gravel Road, was first over the hill, and made all the rest of the running at a great pace ; in fact, he was so close to Forth up to the Gravel Road, that they may be said to have made running all the way.— Lord Cleveland determined to win with Stutfortb if possible. It was reported that Claim had matched Rowton (having 'Mr. Petre's permission) against Voltaire, to run the St. Leger Course, either to-morrow or Friday ; Clancy to tide Rowton, and stake 2,000 guineas to Lord Cleveland's 1,000 guineas, to convince bis Lordship that Voltaire could net win. We give the report as it reached us, and of course do not vouch for its truth ; indeed, it is generally discredited. SHREWSBURY RACES, Brrr. 15. - . A Produce Sweepstakes of 50 sou each:h. ft.

A jeweller, named Hitt, who resides in Petticoat-lane, was sum. stoned before the Lord Mayor, by an old lady named Sarah Flint, for having sold her a copper finger ring and a pair of copper ear rings with drops, for gold. The old lady, who appeared to he on the more venerable side of seventy, and had a gay white satin bonnet over her silver hairs, and a pair of kid gloves half-way up her poor puckered arms, stated that she had employed the jeweller to make her gold ring with a diamond in the middle of it, and a pair of gold ear-rings. with beautiful diamonds to them. In a couple of days the jeweller brought them borne, and they looked quite charming . In a few days, however, she found, upon looking at the ring, that it bad lost all its beauty, and that the diamond looked like a dead haddock's eye—(Laughter). She rubbed it and rubbed it, but it was all " her eye and Betty Martin ;" it grew more and more muddy, and the gold began to get green, so she took it to a pawn broker, and asked what he would lend upon it?—" Lord!" said the pawnbroker, " why there's more copper in a fardin."—" Oh, dear," said she. " and what will you lend on these here ear-rings?" —" God bless your bean!" answered the pawnbroker, " why the whole on em a'nt worth sixpence;' and so he wouldn't lend no thing by no means. Under these circumstances Mrs. Flint a-- pealed to the Lord Mayor. His Lordship looked at the bargain, and asked the old lady how much she gave for the lot? Mrs. Flint—" The moment he brought them home to me-- and oh ! my Lord, you can't think how beautiful they shined—l handed him a golden sovereign" (laughter). The Lorna hlavox—What ! for diamonds and all? Mr►. Flint—l'm sure they're not diamonds ; they're not worth the toss up of a mag" (laughter). The LORD Maroa—There seems to be a great deal of work manship about them, whatever may be the value of the metal and the stones. Mrs. Flint—l ban't nothing to do with that, my Lord. This here jeweller engaged to make them gold, and he has given me copper. I must have my money back. The jeweller said that the stones, which were not half so hani as Mrs. Flint's heart, cost more than the money he had received for the lot. He denied that the ring was copper, although he ad mitted that it was not the best gold—(Laughter). It was what was called forty shilling gold ; and he had had two hard days work at the setting, Ste. He asked whether any woman in her sem?, could have expected such articles as the old woman wanted for 2(h. Mrs. Flint seemed not at all to relish the frightful accusation of age, and said that the jeweller was an old something else, besides an old fool—(Laughter) The Loan Maxoa asked Mrs. Flint, who he found was unmar. tied, whether she had not some idea of changing her condition? —She smiled, and played with a piece of paper before her. At length she said that the ring was for another person. Mr. Cope (the Marshal)—But the ear-rings are for herself, my Lord, for her ears have been newly bored—(Loud laughter, which Mrs. Flint joiner's / . The LOSD Mayoß—l'd be glad to serve you, Mrs. Flint, I as. sure you, especially as you are about to begin life; but I don't think you have been wronged. The workmanship of these articles really appears to be worth nearly all the money you have given, and the best thing you can do is to rub them every day with a piece of flannel and whitening—(Laughter). Mrs. Flint (rubbing the ring with her flannel petticoat—l'm blessed if I think it ever look a bit better—( Loud laughter). BOW-ST REE 1. Yesterday Clarks Stores, a fashionably dressed man, about 55 years of age, was brought up and finally examined, charge.] with committing forgeries upon several persons. Tile charge upon which the prisoner was first apprehended was that of having passed a forged cheque upon the I'etersfield Rank for 71. ISs. to Mr. Dut ton, a buotmaktr, in St. Martin's -court, from whom be received .% in money, kin the balance of an account which he owed.— Several fresh charges 'tete now preferred against him. Lieutenant Mears, R.N. a resident in Greenwich Hospital, said, on the 17th of August theprisoner called upon him, said he was the son of his (witness's) old and valued friend, Stares, of Bishops' Waltham, and borrowed 51. from him under pretence that he wanted that sum to release his luggage from the Custom house, he having just arrived from Ostend. He gave witness a draft for the 51. upon Seymour and Co. his brother's bankers, at Bishops' Wal tham ; but Mr. Seymour, when written to for payment, stated that Mr. Stares positively refused to do any thing for his brother (the prisoner), adding that be had not seen bins for three years , that he had already advanced several hundred pounds to save him front similar dilemmas ; and that be was an idle spendthrift, and woull have recourse to all kinds of stratagems to raise :stoney. Mr. James Mousfield Dods, a solicitor, stated that the prisoner was formerly a fellow clerk with hint in the office of an eminent solicitor in Lincoln's Inn. On the Ist of August the prisoner,whom he had not seen for a long tints, called upon him at his chamber., and, after some conversation, persuaded witness to give hint .s chock upon Messrs. Contr., witness's bankers, for a check upon the Peterborough Bank, payable in the City, and where the pri soner said it was inconvenient for him then to go. Mr. Dutton's assistant said that since the first examination a great many gentle men had called at his house, and made similar complaints against the prisoner; het were reluctant to come forward, unless it was absolutely necessary. Sir li. Biagrz said there were quite charges enough, for he could produce them in abundance, as he bad received several communi cations from persons who had been defrauded by the prisoner. The prisoner said nothing, and was fully committed for ti ial, and the parties hound over to prosecute. Mr. Thompson, the comedian, came to ask Sir R. Birnie and Mr. Halls if he could hive a warrant against a person who held an official situation at Druty4ane Theatre, for a fraud, under these circumstances —" Ism asked," s.d.l Mr. Thompson, " by the individual mentioned, if I could write a couple of pieces on giro' subjects, and I s ,id I thought I could. I accordingly produced two pieces, the one called T.c Donau' Savoyard, and the other Jack Ro binson, both of which I confided to the care of Mr. NVIAIe was in Paris these Nieces were brought out, and were both very .LC• cesstul, and I expected, when I returned, to reap a pretty litte piece of profit for my labours ; but on applying, I learttet:., to my astoidshment, that Mr. had introduced the pieces as hi:, own productions, and hod received .541. from Mr. Dltstun for one, and 501. for the other front Mr. Price, and had applied the money to his own use, and he positively reluses to give me a farthing. Sir RICHARD—It seems to be a scandalous piece of business, but It is not a case in which we hove jurisdiction. Your only rense4) Is to bring an action. • Mr. Thompson—An action, Sir Richard! That would be u: very little use, because I should never get a farthing, and the gen tleman would soon walk out of prison under that beautiful piece of legislation called the Insolvent Act. _ _ _ Sir R. BtaiszE-1 dare say be would, and lar sorry we cannot assist you. Mr. Thompson—Well, I suppose I nilist put up with the loss, and I have now found out that Mr. l'rice has two bad characters on his establishment— i rogue and a tool. 3lr. —is the rogue, and your humble servant is the loc.l—(A laugh). Mr. T. then retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A respectable-looking female, attire.] in mourning, requested rt. lief under circumstances of peculiar liard,hip.
