- - -.~ ~• POLICE. paissett-Honen.--Yesterday a waterless, named M* Wilkinson, was brought up before the Lord /Oyer charged on suspicion of having feloniously re-I reperty to the amount of nearly 20001. ' A eoßeitor attended on behalf of the prosecutor. — The Solicitor of the Customs also attended. Mr. James Marsh, the prosecutor, stated, that he was a lighterman residing at No. SS. Towerntreet.— On the bth of the present month, be sent the prisoner, who is a watermark, with a lighter to Bow Creek, to fetch thirty packages One: wankel for Mr. Clapman, to be delivered on board the York Merchant, in the London Docks. The prisoner superintended the whole, and bats the entire charge of the matter. It was distort/T.4 h6wever, by some accident, that the packages. wit* en beard the ship, contained nothing but cinders pod bridge. It appeared that the sex ve rniers bed been all removed, and the packages made up arbefore with much skill. It was further stated, in explanatioa. that the property in question bad been in bond for 20001., and was to have been shipped out, but bad been removed by some parties, in a manner which had not yet been discovered, for the purpose of disposing of it without paying the duty. The So- Bcitor for the prosecutor said his object was to protect his client from the suspicion that he was in any way implicated. The prisoner had first introduced the par ties to his client. The Loan Mavom said be thought the matter was one which came within the jurisdiction of, and might he much better investigated by the Thames Police. His Lordship ordered the prisoner to be taken before the Magistrate of that district. The Solicitor of the customs stated that the as: ea. mica had bee. found abroad, and had been seized. The journeyman copper-plate printer, who was charged by Mrs. Finch, of Threadneedle-street, on sus picion of having feloniously disposed of near 2,000 country notes, under circumstances which were detailed in our Polka Report of last week, was brought up and underwent a final examination. Mr. BUCRLAND, the solicitor for the prosecution, stated to the Lord Mayor that, upon an investigation, it was found by the bank of Bladford and Poole, that some time ago the paper-maker to the firm bad not sufficient of the water-marked paper by him to make up a ream on an emergency, u hen some of the note paper was wanted. By law, paper-makers are not al lowed to send out less than a ream at a time : and on this occasion, to make up the deficiency, the manufac turers put in a quantity of unmarked paper. This was sent by the firm to Mrs. Finch, their printer, with out their being. aware. When the circumstance was first discovered, the firm was written to on the sub ject, and they returned an answer, denying that there had been any irregularity on their part. From this circumstance the suspicion arose that common paper had been enbatituted by the printer, for the water marked, for criminal purposes. But there was still a deficiency of upwards of 500 notes, which had passed through the hands of the prisoner. The solicitor, how ever, said he felt that be had not evidence to support his charge against the prisoner, who he consented should be discharged. The LORD MAToa gave the prisoner a severe &deo aition, and hoped be would do away, by hie future conduct, the impression whish had been excited by the facts of the case, from which it was at least evident that he bad been guilty of most culpable neglect to wards his employer. OuttnnaLL.—Yesterday Mar)' Williams and Ann Gordon, whose previous examination have been before the public, were brought up for a final hearing, and fully committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. Boorman, whose attendance was expected, did not make his ap pearance ; be had, however, seen the lasses at the •thitspur-street Compter, and knew them directly, as the girls by whom he had been accosted in Skinner-street, on the evening when he lost his pocket-book ;he had also identified the 101. note of the Rye Bank found on Miss Williams, as his property. The girls bad proba bly seen or heard of the account in the newspapers of their very dashing appearance, and bad in conse quence altered their dress to the very picture of neat ness. BOW4TZEZT.—Yesterday John Elwin Dickson, a respectable looking middle-aged man, appeared before the Siting Magistrate, on a charge preferred against him by Sir Mark Wood, Bart. under the 54 (leo. 3. cap. 63, for fradulently embezzling and applying to hi) own use a check for 581. Os. 4d. which had been en trusted to him for a special purpose. Sir Mark Wood stated that the prisoner bad for merly been in his employment as a sort of clerk, and since he quitted his service be had employed him oc caqionally in m titers of business. On orabout the 26th of June last, be gave him a check for 581. 4d. upon liatnmersley and Co. his bankers, with directions to get it cashed, and to pay the money to Smith and Hell, his attorneys, in New Basinghall-street, for a particular purpose. The money was paid to the defendant at the Deakin House, and witness understood he had been dis&l4g about" with tiro woitied Of the town -ever since. A Police Officer had bad a chase after him for the last three months, but could never find him. The defendant began his answer to the charge, by stating that be attended here voluntarily, at the mere request of Sir M. Wood. He was employed by the Ilarotket at his seat at Hatton, from March 1818, to the same month in 1820, as a clerk, and subsequently he did business for him en various occasions asau At torney. Sir Mark bad in June last given instructions to'Smitb and (fell, to tax the bill of Mr. Swan, and on the 26th of June, the check in question was given to him (the defendant,) for the purpose of being paid . over Id Smith and Hell, and a portion of that bill.- I.The same day, however, it was intimated to him by a • letter, written, as be understood, by desire of Sir Mark, that the lattitr had altered his mind, and would „rot have the bill taxed. He till not therefore pay the _money to Smith and Hell. He certainly received it, but .there was an unsettled account between him and Sir M. Wood for business done. Sir M. Wood denied titet he wed the defendant a farthing. sail said he had new employed him as an Attorney ; he never amid hart been sack a blockhead as to employ sea l is that capneity..--The de fendant prised inide.story.

The IdaostorasTe said, it nos perfectly. dear that the defendant had syylioid the money to hti ewe use, • Tllas ST) and hi must give ban, himself in MI., and two sure ties in 100/. each, for his future appearance. He was detained until he should give the required sureties. Recarvens.--Joha Heltisgsworth and Joseph Fare, or Pair, were brought before Sit RICHARD BtaKte, the other night, under the following singular circum stances a— A saddle bad been stolen from some person on the lidgeware-road, and Reed and Davis, the patrol, re ceived information that It had been sold to a person named Fare, in Wells-street, Oxford-street. They ob tained a searcb-warrant, and proceeded thither to look for it, but it was not to be found. In the course of their search, however, they discovered a vast quantity of metal is ingots, several large cases of mould can dles, with much other property, which they thought looked as if it had been stolen. They mentioned their suspicions to Fare and his wife, and expressed their intention of seising the whole; but they h 4 scarcely uttered the words, when Fare and his wife, assisted by Hellingsworth (who appearnio be the landlord of the house) iastantly tore open the cases, and commenced a general attack upon the poor unresisting candles, chopping, breaking, and trampling upon them without mercy. The officers opposed the work of destruction as wallas they could, and, with some difficulty, se cured the prisoners. whom they brought to the ?Ste t together with ti whole cart-load of the broken candles and other Pripinty. This was all the evidence against the prisoners, and, at the instance of their Solicitor, they were dis charged; the captured property being retained as a lien for their future appearance, should they be "wasted." They were " wanted," it veins; for yesterday they were again placed at the bar, and the evidence to the following effect given against them : Mr. Smith, a respectable tallow-chandler in Red Lion-street, Holborn, died some short time ago, and shortly afterwards his executor was applied to ..y a man named Eaton, who had formerly been in the employ of Mr. Smith. He stated that a person had applied to him to purchase a large quantity of candles, which candles he verily believed had been stolen from the warehouses of the late Mr. Smith, and he offered to introduce the executor to this person. It was accord. ingly agreed between Eaton and the executor that they should inert at the Turk's Head public-house in Hart ford-street, Tottenham-court-road. They did meet ac cordingly, and Eaton sent for the prisoner Hellings worth ; introducing him to the executor as the person who had a large quantity of candles to sell cheap. The' executor, not having much generalship about him, at once declared his connection with the deceased Mr. Smith ; but Hellingsworth was too good a judge to - be off his guard for a moment. Instead of rushing out of the house he made a long face, and observed that Eaton was mistaken in supposing that it was be who had the cand'es to sell; he had only been asked to purchase them; and he added if the executor would appoint another meeting he would introduce him to the party. He then went into a long detail of the iniquitous prac tices carried on by servants against the property of their masters, told the executor that the candles in question were certainly stolen from the deceased Mr . Smith, by some of the people be employed, and strongly recommended him to discharge every one of them. The executor was quite taken with his apparent nesty, public spirit, feeling, and all that; in short, he looked upon him as one of the honestest men going, and after some further conversation on the wickedness of the times, they appointed a further meeting, and parted good friends. The executor was punctual to his appointment; but Mr. Hellingsworth did not make his appearance; and the executor, having waited for him till his patience was quite exhausted, was just about to retire, when be received a verbal message, stating that " Mr. Hellingsworth bad altered his mind in that ere business, and was determined to be neither pillar nor post to any man." From that time, which was nearly three months ago, be had heard nothing more of Mr. Hellingsworth or the stolen candles, till the officers called upon him en Tuesday night, and he now identified the boxes which contained the captured can dles as the property of the late Mr. Smith ; but be could not swear to the candles in their now mutilated state. Hellingswortb, in his defence, biVerly denied having taken any part in destroying the candles, and nasabout to enlarge upon the subject when he was interrupted by the officer, Reed, exclaiming. " Why, how can you tell such a barefaced falsehood—M(l'ot I see you, with my own eyes, crushing them to pieces, and didn't you offer me a 5/. note to stash the business ?" " Why, yes," replied Hellingsworth, " I did offer you 51., and I'd have given double the sum rather than have my character exposed !" This little slip of the tongue excited a good deal of laughter throughout the Court. Both prisoners were held to bail, themselves each in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each. Manisoanycll-STKEET.—Yestertlay two women, who gave their name Jane Holy and Elizabeth Boyce, were brought up before G. H. Dyer, Esq.. the Attic* Magistrate, charged with stealing a fine child, aged, three years and a half. It appeared from the evidence of a man named 51agratb, that be was entrusted with four children by the overseers of the poor of the parish of Portpool, in the island of Guernsey, for the purpose of conveying them to Woolwich, which place was ther settlement. In the waggon to London, he met with the two women who expressed great fondness for the children. On their arriving on Tuesday morning at the Black Horse Inn, Haymarket, he had some bud nese to transact, and left the children in charge of the women. On his return, he was informed both the wo men had departed, taking with them the youngeit child. He instantly made every inquiry, but could not discover either of the women or the child until yesterday morning, when he found Hely in George street, St. Giles's. Cook, the constable, also made in quiries at another part of the town, and discovered the other prisoner, whom be immediately took into cus 'tody. She denied all knowledge of Hely. Hely in her defence said, she went out to take a walk, and thinking it would amuse the child, she carried it with her, and after rambling- about wine time, she missed her way, and being a stranger in Lone don, 'did not know the name of the Inn, or the street, where they arrived at, consequently she took a lodging . for the night, where Magrath had found her, intending to restore the infant next morning. Boyce denied any participation of the gnilt or know- - ledge of the ether prisoner, obseteing, she *sly not her is the waggon. Mi Drum did not Oda there woe suffitieht proof to support the charge of any guilty Intention on the part of the woltsan. Their story might be true, and as the child was recovered, he should discharge the pri semen. The Worthy Magistrate severely reprimanded the woman Holy for taking away the child; aad ad vised Magrath to be more careful in future. The prisoners woe then discharged, and the children Wpm to freiefiwieb. IlfroitTalitT 'TO PAWN4llowitiall. Ike.--Yesterday ' J. Lawrisee. a yew maw a carver and gilder, was brought up, charged with having fraudulently obtained several paintings from Mr. Rotchard, as artist, of 131, New Bond-street. Mr. Rotchard's statement was that on the 9th of Sept. the prisoner called at his house, and requested an interview with him, when the prisoner said that be was employed in the house of Lady Smith, at Rich mond, and her ladyship having seen the picture of Reubens, in St. James's-street, she expressed a desire of purchasing the pair, and he asked witness who thee be was in possession of such paintings; being answered in the affirmative, he requested to be allowed to take the pictures with bits in order that Itse ladyship might inspect them. Witness bad no oh-, jostles And he gave him the two portraits. He sent also, on application of the prisoner a portrait of Buonaparte, and be had since ascertained that the whole of them had been pawned. Mr. CONANT, the Magistrate, said, as the prisoner did not receive the pictures under a representation that Lady S. ordered him, they were not obtained fraudu lently : they therefore had no other mode of proceed ing than under the Pawnbrokers' Act, for unlaw fully pawning.—Mr. Rotchard valued the portrait of Bonaparte at 60 guineas ; Reubens and wife, 12 gui neas; and the copy of Sir Joshua Reynolds's 81. Mr. Harrison, pawnbroker, of Wardour-street, proved that he was in his parlour when the prisoner came to his shop on the 10th of September, and offered the property in pledge, and he gave 1/. for the copy of Sir J. Reynolds's, and 11. ss. for Reubens and his wife. Prisoner said they were his own property. Mr. Rotchard said that he gave the prisoner no au thority to pledge them. On Mr. Harrison being asked bow he could take such property in pledge, he answer ed that be knew many artists in London, who sometimes were necessitated to part with property much more valuable than the articles in question. Although the pictures were very superb, yet in Italy they were got up so very cheap in distemper, and there were such numbers of them imported to this country. that the value of pictures had fallen off at the rate of 2001. per cent. • Mr. Dobree, pawnbroker, of Charlotte-street, Fitz roy-square, produced the portrait of Buonaparte. Mr. Dobree deposed that he received the portrait, which was painted on ivory, from the prisoner, who pledged it, on the 15th Sept. for 21.. which he asked for it. He said it was his own property. The prisoner said nothing in his defence; but Mr. Itotcharti inquired whether the property would be restored to him. Mr. CONANT said, in cases of fraud there was no methadon of property ; as long as the prisoner under- Wein the punishment allotted for his offence, he could have it on his being released. Here the pawnbroker was entitled to keep the property until redeemed. The Magistrate convicted the prisoner in the high est penalty, and the value of the goods (801.) ; but Mr. Rotchard. out of mercy to the prisoner, granted him the indulgence of paying the fine of Si. and the amount for which the pictures were pledged : until which the prisoner was committed. num es PoLece.—Tuesday evening, as Judge and White, officers belonging to this establishment, were paining through Broad-street, Radcliffe, they observed a member of Italians lurking about in a questionable manner, some of whom carried bundles. Oa the officers approaching them they all ran off with the ex ception of one, whom White secured. Judge pursued the others, but unsuccessfully. White repaired with his prisoner towards the office, and had proceeded about half a mile, when the fellow drew out a large knife from under his coat sleeve, and made several thrusts at his body. White succeeded, however, in warding off the stabs, bat his hands and fingers were shockingly mangled, the tops of two of his fingers on the right Mad, and of one on the left, were cut off. The pri soner was remanded for further examination. Unrosr-Ham..—Yesterday Aka Price and Wm. bront, two young men of decent appearance , w e re rought before C. Chambers. Esq. the sitting Magis trate, charged with having broken into and robbed the 4 bonse of Mrs. Susanna Kahl, 64, Southampton-street, tamberwell. Mrs. Kahl stated, that she and her daughter went out at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, having previously fastened the house. She bad no servaut, and intended to return at an early hour in the evening. Upon their return to Camberwell, about seven o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Kalil was struck with astonish ment at seeing a light appearing and disappearing at the windows of her house. She went to some of her neighbours and communicated her suspicions, and promptly received their assistance. They could see no marks of violence on the door or window-shutters, nor could they bear voices or foot steps in the house. Mrs. Kahl's friends procured a ladder, and placed it at the hack part of the house, reaching the window of the first floor, where several of them entered without making the least noise; and upon walking down stairs, and opening the front parlour door, saw, to their great surprise, the two prisoners playing a game at back gammon. They were sitting together on a sofa, and had the backgammon table between them. One of them instantly started up, and said, " We'll make no resistance." They accordingly submitted quietly.— On examination it was found that the house bad been ransacked from top to bottom, and some plate that bad been tied up in a small bag was found on tbe table.— In the bag were several spoons. which Mrs. Kahl had left locked upiin a cupboard. , In different parts of the house were found an extensive assortment of house breaking instruments, pick-lock keys, crows, fee. Be. also phosphorous and matches. One of the 'keys which lay oat the table opene4 . the halt door just as If it had been made for it, from which it was presumed that the thieves had entered at the door. Several of Mrs. Kahl's neighbours, who had come forward to leer iisistance, confirmed the most impoet ant parts of her statement. ...-~ --, --.~ hi for hid ) , 4*.
