LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IVEsTaatwerra, JVXE U. Before the Loitt) CHIEF JUSTICE and d Spacial'Jury. AINSTEV v. LADD. I Mr. (it' astr.r stated, that this was an action brought by tne Captain's cook, on bawd the file Castle, East Indianian, against the chief mate, for a gross and aggravated assault. The Learned I, Dentleinan detailed the circumstances, which the following wit nesses were called to motet— ' Role, a seaman on board, said the ship lay in the river at Canton, on the 24th of December last. The plaintiff was cap tain's cook, the defendant chief-mat plaintiff went over the bow to clear one of the scuppers, which had been s.opped up. In I doing this he accidentally . fell overboard. The ('aptain was on shore. The plaintiff got into the boat and then on hoard. The defendant was on the deck, and addressed the plaintiff in most abusive lanknutge, and asked what made him jump . overboard ? • The witness had seen that the defendant had rot jumped, but fallen accidentally overboard. The plaintiff had gone to clear the galley scupper, which had become nail. Ile stated to the de fenclint that he had by mistake laid hold of a slack rape and fallen overboard. The defendant said he was a liar, and ordered him aft. He then directed 'the boiuswain to take a rope's-en d and give I him ati good starting. The boatswain took a gasket (platted rope) about a fathom and a half long, and beat the plaintiff with it as loot as be could stand over him. He hit him as hard as he could. The plaintiff had nothing on but his shirt. The defendant nett coiled Roche, the boatswain's.mate , and onlered I him to start t':e plaintiff. Roche proceeded to beat hint until he fell down on the desk apparently serselrsa. The defendant called the two quarter-masters, and ovtiered them to hold nip the plain -1 tiff Ile at the same time sent for the surgeon's mate, aid directed him to stand by anti see the plaintiff started aa long as he could bear it, and to chew him no lenity. The plaintiff was beateu till he again fell senseless on the deck. Witness had seen flog ging on board a man of war. lle thought starting a much severer punishment. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARI.X7T—IIe never heard the plain tirsay that he had been started before. The plaintiff had his shirt on. When a man was flagged, he was stripped and Hogged with a cat-o'-nine-tails. There was blood on the plaintiff's shirt. Witness could not say whether the plaintiff was very ill after the starting, or whether lie cooked the Captain's dinner the next day. After he had received his punishment lie was crying. He was not drunk. He had not been oa board the ship in former voyages. Thomas Pearce was an able seaman on board the Kcllie Castle be was captain of the forecastle on the 24:11 of December last ; he saw the plaintiff come on the forecastle with a broom in is hand, and get over the haw to clear the scupper Mr. Roche, h i o boat swain's mate, t i • rvw a pail of water over hint. which frightened him be caught bold of the foreatwinging-boost.guide to save himself, but that being slack he fell ormbcard. (This witness described the punishment exactly the same as the pteeeding witness, and said he would rather twelve threedoxen than the punishment inflicted on the plaintiff] 11. Neilson, q uarter -master, remembered Ainsley being started. Ile gave a similar account of the transaction. Crass-exatnined—The plaintiff was not drunk his shirt was cut, and some blood came through ; the man did his work, and did not lay.by after the punishment. Robert Brown, the other quarter-master, gave similar evidence. The defendant heard the plaintiff complaining alter the starting was over, and asked him if lie had not had enough, adding, if he had not he might mine back for more, and he would see his back bone. Henry Stevens and Peter Smith spoke to the plsintirs not being drunk, acrd the unprecvdented sevetity of the puaishinent. Mr. SC•ILLTT addressed the Jury. It was evident that Mr. Ladd had not acted from any ill-will or malice. lie had be lieved that Ainsley had jumped overboard contrary_ to express and positive orders. It was proved that he bad fallen acculen telly, but that had not been made known to the defendant. It was most evident, too, that the plaintiff appeared to be in liquor, whe ther he had drunk spirits or had exhibited those symptoms from fright. It was a case in which the very lowest damages would be =lndent. The LORD CHIEF JVSTICE summed up. The observations for the defendant were entitled to some consideration. The plaintiff had been but two days ma board, and there could have haled no malice or will. In cases where the feelings were sp pe to. he always directed the Jury to guard against giving ex cessive damages. The Jury deliberated for *considerable time in the box, and found for the plaintiff—Damages. WI. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, FaIDAT, Juxl 11. DOE V. WILFORO. Mr. Sergeant Owswow stated, that this was an action respecting a will of the late Oencral Wilford. The General made a will de vising his estates, after death, to his wile; but previously to his dtath the General levied a fine on the estate, and this was con tended by the heir-at-law to hare set the will aside. The pro. perty consisted of twenty acres of land, and twelve houses in Wilderness-row, and Ranelagh, Chelsea. Part of Lite estate had been re-modelled after the will was made, which, it sou contended, amounted to a revocation of the will. The General had sold six acres of the land to Chelsea Hospital. All that the heir-at-law (Mr. Bulkley) wished to receiver was, the property pouessed by the General at the time of his death. Several witnesses were examined respecting the property in gues. Lion, and the son of the plaintiff mentioned several conurbations between his father and the General on the subject. Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET said, that if the plaintiff succeeded in this case, it would be against all tl:e principles of justice. The plaintiff, Mr. Bulkley, is a Solicitor, and rented tom,. property from the General. He also acted for the General in legal matters, sad was employed to make out the line. but had overstepped his in structions by putting property into the finu which was nut intended, so as eventually to set aside the will. The General and he were both descended from the same ancestor, and after the General's death, Mr. Bulkley would be heir-at.law to his property. Much argument arose respecting the property intended to be paued by the fine. The (lurk . JUSTICI: said, that the fine could not be set aside, as it %solidi be interfering with the principle of vested rights and property. The plaintiff had certainly acted in no delicate manner by making himself a party to a deed for his own advantage, with out the full knowledge of the General. But although he could recover by the fine, another Court would take care that he should reap no benefit from it. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the Ranelagh estate. THE NEW COURT, OLD BAILEY. FRIDAY, JUNI: IL This morning another of C37l7l77shopmen, named CoeArent, was I ountl gliPty of haring published a blasphemous libel, con. taincd in the Republican. POLICE. lOWl7rtEltV Vesterdey fifes. Brooks, who was for some yews an actress of consVentlile note at the Surrey and other minor Theatres, was brought up for a second examination, on a charge of unlawfully powniug several silk and other dresses, the property of a man named Smith, who lives in Wych-street, Strand. O examines' ion, the first examinaon, on Thursday, Smith stated, that on the 20th of May, he and his wife were from home, and when they returned he discovered that the door of his sleeping apartment had been opened, and two drawers forced, and the articles men- Potted soden. There are several lodgers in the house, and the street door is Vierally fastened with a larch only in the day time. H. sat out soon after to starch at the pawnbrokers' shops foe his property, and at the very first he entered, Messrs. Maywood and Lawrence in Drury-lane, he was informed that they had been pledged there that day by a woman of the name of Brooks, an actress, whose name was formerly Hatton. Ile then procured a warrant at this office, but the offices was unable to find her until Thursday last. Williun Mainwaring Fenner, shopman to Maywood and Law rence, sl:posed, that the prisoner, on the evening of the '2oth 'May, pledged the articles which he now produced. (These were identi fied by Smith.) She asked to have 3/. upon them, but he gave her is lesser sum. She gave her own name of Brooks, which he wrote upon the duplicate. Mrs. Brooks stood wringing her hands and weeping while the shopman was giving evidence, and exclaimed several times...." Oh ! (Pal forgive you, young man." When called noon by the Magistrate to "Teak. she declared in the most energetic terms that it was altogether a mistake; that she was innocent as the utiborn child. Fenner-1 am very sorry to say so, Mrs. Brooks, but lam too certain of your person to be mistaken. After some further conversation, Mr. 311 N sll 1: Li. said he could not make up his migil to decide upon the extraordinary testimony before him, ai d the case was postponed till yesterday. firs. Brooks, accompanied by several fie:eels, attended at this office. Mr. Lawrence, the pawnbroker. attended. The office was ex cessively crowded, in consequence of the interest excited by her case, and Mr. Monden attended to speak for the unfortunate lady, who appeared extremely affected. Mr. 'Lawrence, on being sworn, positively stated that Mrs. Brooks was not the individual who pledged the property ; but the woman who did so in every respect resembled her. Mr. 31ix sit u i.f. expressed himself quite shocked at the circum stance of a person swearing so positively to the person of the lady, who had always bone • high character in her profession, and anions those who knew her. Sir H. Maxi': remarked that he had known Mrs. Smote' for' more titan twenty years. and could not stispeet her of dishonesty, and there was a person present who knew her longer than anybody in the office, who could give her the highest character: he meant: 31r. Months). Mr. Montlen said he had known M rs. Brooks for upwards of forty years, and lie knew her character to he unexceptionable. She was very much ear red in her person of late. The shopman who was so positive, excused himself by saying that the 'anion who pledged the property war so much like Mrs.' lhrsoks, and bearing the same name, that airy one might be de reived. The woman related several anecdotes of Mr. Alundeu, .Ir. and other actors, and sang while she was: in the place; and the full impression on I.is mind was, that it was Mrs. Brooks ; but he was very sorry that he had been so positive. Mr. 31sarantri.l. remarked that there was no grouitsl whatever for the charge, and expressed himself gratified in discharging her trout the office, which she might leave under the most creditable eirconistances. The young mairsebo swore to her person apologized to her, upon which she shook hands with him, and said she freely forgave him, but advised hint to be more cautious in future. She was extremely adicted, and was borne tiom the office by her friends. Sir R. theism was evidently affected to tears • and it is bat justice to add that several persons were present ready to prove an dad, if necessary ; but the Alagistrastes were so well satisfied that they considered it would be superfluous.

I'ItAUDS OW TUE AI ENDICIT SOCILT Y.—A case WIN brought forward uu Satunlay lam. at this office, for investigation, before H• 11. DvElt } ln. the Projiding Magistrate, by the Managers of the .Mendicity Society, which deeply Involved the charect of two persons, who, if their account of themselves be correct, ers must have moved in a lay respectable sphere of life. Mr. Phillips, M.P. for Wooton Basset, and Mr. Phillip', jun. hie von, M.& Isaac Buick, Esq. end several *then of the 31a ;lagers of the Society. together with Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary, at teeded the itiveeigation. The two persons above alluded to were then placed before the Magistrate; one ut them, Fmk , irk llVllms Jlaakiss, E 9. at prevent residing in Trevorseepare, Kensington, in custody ot the officers of the society; and 111r.Ed:reird Jephaun, residing at Limon grove who was nut in custody, but voluntatily accuumanied his tried to the office. Mr. Hawkins was dressed in the first style of fashion, and Mr. Jephson very respectably, though not so elegantly as his friend. While Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary, was arranging some papers, Mr. Ilawkins addressed the Magistrate, and said, that as he under stood lie was broug..t there by the Mendicity Society, to answer a charge which most entirely involve his character and respectability. and, what he valued still more highly, the name and character of Lis amiable friend 31r.Jephson and his f a mily, be had to entreat the favour of a private bearing of the case, lest any premature state ments to their prejudice might go forth through the medium of the public press, before he had an opportunity of fully answering the accusations against him. Mr. DEER said, that there certainly were sane cases wherea Magistrate might feel himself called upon to grant a request of this kind, where, perhaps, circumstances might transpire offensive to public decency, or hurtful to public morals t but even in such cases he would not think it necessary to exclude any person belongieg to the public press whom he then saw present, use be knew from. expeetence that he could rely upon a good discretion in not giving in - state to meet the puhlicity to any case that was not a proper public eye. In this case, however, he saw no ground at all for privacy ; but lie could venters confidently to assure Mr.,Hawkins, that no statement should at all go forth, until the accusations and the defence were completed and at n end. Mr. Hawkins thanked the Magistrate, and said, that he felt per fectly satisfied with this assurance ; all he wished for was, a fair and impartial investigation of the charge, Mr. Secretary Bodkin then came forward, and made the follow ing AtalellitMe to the Magistrate : The charge, he said, which he bad to prefer against Mr. Haw kins, and which he regretted to have cause to prefer against a per son of his appearance and manner, was under the Vagrant Act, for applying for, collecting, and receiving various sums of money, under false pretences. lie should be most happy to find that Mr. Hawkins would be able to acquit himself of the charm dthough at present,so strong were the facts and proofs in his (Mr.Bodkin'si pos. session, that belied not much hope on that head. The cimernatances of the case were these :—So long ago as the early part of HIV, the 3lendieity . Society received Information that Mr. Hawkins, • gen. demon living in the first style of fashion and expense, keeping his country house, driving his curricle, and riding his hunters, was living in this manner, and doing all this by funds derived from his depredations upon public credulity and impositions upon the hu mane and charitable, under the pretence that be himself was a gen : dollen of large fortune and of active benevolence, whose funds and best exertions were alwiti 3 s odu at a the service of the unfortunate and dia. I tressed ; but he (Mr. • ) should be enabled to prove, that so far from Mr. Hawkins being the character be represented himself to I be, he was in league with a set of persons, whose pretended cases of distress he made use of to obtain considerable contribu thins, a great portion of which found its way into the pocket of Mr. Hawkins himself, and that, in this way, he has carried on a regular plan of imposition for a long time. From the time the Society tint received any information respecting the practices of 31r. Hawkins, up to the Assent tune, they have been actively employed in en. deavouring to catch him; bat 'ogre* was his ingenuity in evading their utmost vigilance, that all their efforts proved abortive until that very morning, when be was taken into custody at the house of Mr. Phillips (who was present), in Hill-street, Berkeley-ague/e, and elrom he (Mr. Bodkin) should beg leave first to examine as to his knowledge of Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Bodkin said, he should I be able to show, that at the very time Mr. Hawkins was assuming to be a man of fortune, and raising subscriptions as a benevolent character for a person named Tadd, another named Singleton—for, this very Mr. Jephson now present, and his family—applying to * number of dignitaries of the church, in behalf of a person whom be represented to be the distressed widow of a deceased clergy man—going about with a petition in the name of a person whom he stated himself to have known as a respectable man once raid ing at Cheltenham, but reduced in circumstances, and in this case always managing to make his applications to gentlemen whom he knew to reside in the neighbourhood of that town, when he could catch them in London. That while thus charitably engaged in behalf, as he professed of others, Mr. Hawkins was actually, at the very time, writing begging letters and drawing up petitions his own name, representing himself and his family in the greatest distress, and sending his wife pound to collect subscriptions. lie should also, prove, that the very parties for whom Mr. Hawkins professed to be so actively engaged, were his intimate friends and constant companioes; that they an lived together at times, and' always so near as to keep up a constant communication. This Mr. Jephson, he (Mr. Bodkin) should prove, for instance, to have lived in a house adjoining that of Mr. Hawkins, at Fulham, and that they had a communication made between the kitchens of the two houses, by which means they carried on their plans unper ceived and undetected. Mr. Bodkin then said, that for the present be would state no more, although he was prepared to go much fea ther, but he would rather keep within the case he was furnished with than exceed it. Mr. Phillips, 31. P., was then requested to state what he knew of Mr. Hawkins, an mid, that in March, 182:1, Mr. Hawkins waited upon him and professed to be a gentlemen of fortune, who was exerting himself to obtain subscriptions for a person named Singleton, whom he had formerly known under better circum stances. lie produced a list of contributions in which Mr. Hawkins's own name was down for a considerable eum and a great number of respectable names attached to it. mlr . Phillips gave him two guineas, and complimented Mr. Hawkins upon his ben*. volent exertions. In a short time after, Mr. Phillips was much surprised at a lady's calling upon him with a petition foe sub scriptions for a family named Hawkins, and a letter addressed to ' him, signed F. Hawkins, and dated from Vine Cottage, Fulham, stating the bearer to be his wife, and representing his family to be in great distress. Mr. Phillips immediately suspected that this ems the same person who bad been collecting subscriptions for Singleton, and not doubting but some fraud was going on, he communicated the circumstance to the Mendicity Society. Sinn that time he bad heard nothing of Mr. Hawkins, until that morn ing, when he again canal on Mr. Phillips to sub scribe for this Mr. Jephson, who was waiting outside the - house for him at the time, and knowing that the Society; was making inquiries after Mr. Hawkins, he sent to let them know that he was then at isn't suss. Mr. Phillips here produced the letter, signed F. liewkins. Mr. llawkins denied that he ever tent such a letter, or his wife' with any petition, to Mr. Phillips. lie was married to a woman of family and respectability, end would scorn to send her on such an errand ; and, besides, he never was in any distress ; the letter produced was not his hand-writing at all. Mr. Bodkin asked him it he had not lived at Vine Cottage, from whence the letter was dated. He acknowledged that he had, and had laid out 3001. on the cottage and premises, but he gave it up, owing to a dispute with the landlord. He was again asked if he persisted still in denying the letter to be ' his writing ? He said that he certainly did. 31r. Bodkin 'eked hint if he knew a Mrs. Hughes at Fulham Ile replied that he did, very leen, and had had dealings with her SS a !APT -keeper there. Mr. Bodkin then asked how he could state himself not to have been in any distress, when he had gone in debt to this Mrs. Hughes 441., and ruined the woman under the pretence of patron. izing her as a man of fcrtune, but soon after ran away from the neighbourhood in debt to every one around ? Mr. Hawkins said that his debts had nothing to do with the pre sent charge. It was not because a man might be poor that he should be guilty of a charge like this. All. DYER said certainly not, but the mention of this circuits stance arose out a the nature of the case. Mr. Phillips, jun. next stated, that Mr. Hawkins came to him about • year ago, and obtained a subscription from him fur a person' mimed I"aeld. Mae liedikia-einw enid, that in COWSS4WASISS of..the apprehension of Mr. Hawkins, so adexpectedly that morning, he was not pre. pared with all the evidence he would be able to hting forward, but be hoped Mr. Byer would detain 3lr. Hawkins in custody, and ad : eoum the case for a few days. Mr. Hawkins Said, that he also wished the case adjourned, as he I was totally unprepared to meet such a charge ; but he denied alto. gether the statement of Mr. Bodkin. Ile had acted ell through from the purest motives of benevolence, and all the perilous that ha interfered for were deserving objects. For instance, his friend Mr. Jephson , who had a wife end eight children, ad only 361. a.year tresupport them upon, which lie derived from hie-commis sion as a Lieicenatit in the Tower Hamlets militia; and even Mr. Bodkin himself had acknowledged that Mr. Jephson was s deserv ing object. Mr. Main said that he had acknowledged no such thing, for when he called on Mr. Jephson at Liston-grove, in consequence of a begging letter which he wrote to the Society, he refused to give him any explnnation as to his affairs or pempects, when he found that he belonged to the Mendicity Society. Mr. Hawkins said, that if he bad nut made such an acknowledg ment, Sir 3111 es Nightingale, Colonel Webb, Sir 'Wm. guise, and others of great respectability did acknowledge 31r. Jephson to be a deserving object, and aftePriled him relief. Mr. JepliSOW said that it was only lately, since the death of a very benevolent Nobleman, whose name he did not wish to men tion, that lie required relief from anybody, and his object at present was to raise the sum of 401. to enable him to set up a school. Mr. Bodkin asked how that could be, for in time list of subecrip dons which he then held in his hand, there was upwards of 701. for 3lr. Jeplison's use? Mr. Drum. said, that if all parties were riot fully prepared, he was ready to adjeurp the case; and from the appearance of Mr. Hawkins, he would take his word tea his coming forward egain to meet the charge. He won* of course recollect that his character was at stake. Mr. Hawkins said that he was aware 9f that, and he would rea dily come forward and retro the champ.- He had always main. taiiied an unsullied reputatitau ; he had :pr years practised his pro- ra assinn as an artist, and was knoutist, in some of the first families in . His father was one of the most extensive manufacturers l at lis tin d ingham, and he had a son at present articled at one of the first mercantile houses in the City , that of Alexander, Derides, and Co. A large morocco leather pocket-book, found on Mr: Hawkins when taken, was now given to Mr. Dyer, who was requested by Mr. Bodkin to open and examine its contents. Mr. Hawkins said it contained nothing but private memoranda of his own. On Mr. Dyer opening it, however, it was found to contain a petition, with a number of subscribers to it; and Mr. Phillips ob. t.erted. that the hand-writing of this petition was precisely the ume es that of the letter which Mr. Hawkins denied to be his writing. The pocket-book also contained the commissions of Mr.Jephson, 'ow as an ensign in the South Gloucester Militia, and the other as bieutenant in the Tower Hamlets. Mr. Dyer then sealed up the pocket-book, and put it in his drawer, until yesterday, to which day be adjourtml the further hearing of the ease. SECOND EXAMINATIAN. Yesterday, according to adjournment, the same gentlemen be longing to the Mendicity Society, together with Mr. Abrahams, the Honorary Counsel, were in attendance at one o'clock, and Mr. Broderick appeared on behalf of Mr. Hawkins, who was expec'ed to be present ; but, a ft er waiting some time, Mr. Jephson arrived, with a letter from Mr. Hawkins to Mr. Broderick, saying, that as he understood there were several writs out against him, and that it was Intended to arrest him lot debt at the office, he should not corns , forward, but wished Mr. Broderick to t him in the case. (This was the fart, for there were several Sheriff's officers in at tendance with writs against him.) Under these circumstances the ease was gone into before Mr. Conant, who, not having before heard it, Mr. Abrahams made the same statement that Mr. Bodkin did on the first examination, and nt-examined the Messrs. Phillips, together with the following per sons. who stated their grievances:— Mr. Boatwright, residing in Bury,street, St. James's, stated, that 3lr. Hawkins look a house from him at Paddington, and re ferred him tot a character to Mr. Jephson, who gave him an excel lent one; but, after Mr. Hawkins occupying the house for three mouths, he removed the whole of the furniture and a vast quantity of goods, which he obtained from different tradespeople in the neighbourhood clandestinely, and from that time to this Mr. Boat wrbilit or the w tradarete ep o s ever gat • shilling. Mre. Hughes,a grocery shop at Northend, Fulham, and has seven children, stated that Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Jephson resided in her neighbostrhood, and professed their intention of patronising her sash. had a large family, but their patronage ended by their getting 1101. in her debt, as well as getting in debt to every one stout the place ; and, in fact, they had nearly ruined her. For some time before they disappeared there was no getting access to their house, which WAS regularly barricaded, and they only spoke to people through a trap-dour; and if any ono ventured to get over the railing in front of the house, there were two large mastiff dogs ready to tear them to pieces. She said, that before they came to Fulham they lived at Bayswater, and she ascertained dint there they occupied two adjoining houses, between which they made a communication under ground, and carried on their plans. Mr. Jephson here said, that he did not owe Mrs. Hughes a shilling. " No," said Mrs. litwhes, " because you have come out under the Insolvent Act, and dared yourself ; but you and Mr. Haw kins have robbed my poor family." A poor milkwoman next came forward, and said that Messrs. Hawkins and Jephson had defrauded her of 131. for milk and butter. And now followed and endless list of tradespeople, who com pletely filled the office and blocked up all the passages, who were brought for ward by the filendicity Society. and who had been patronised by Mews. Hawkins and Jephson in a similar manner to Mrs. Hughes. The last person who stated his case was Mr. Charman, a re spectable jeweller in Piccadilly. who said that he had the bad for tune to know Mr. Hawkins, who got WI. worth of plate and jewel key from him, and which he discovered he had pledged at a pawnbroker's in an hour after. Mr. Charman here produced a letter from Mrs. Hawkins, thanking him for his kind intentions to arrest Mr. Hawkins, who however was beyond the reach of his " bull-dogs" (sheriff's officers) to bite him, and assuring him that he might make himself perfectly easy, foe be should never got one shilling of his mosey. Mr. Charman had also letters from Mr. Hawkins himself, and had seen him write. The letter produced by Mr. Phillips, and which Mr. Hawkins denied on the former day, he believed to be his hand-writing. Upon this case, Mr. ABRAHAMS grounded'an application for a warrant or a summons, to compel the appearance of Mr. Hawkins, if they can find him. Mr. BRODERICK contended that there was not sufficient ground for the Magistrate to interfere, but Mr. Conant thought differently, and granted a summons. Mr. Ana/Main no. asked Mr. Jephson if he would tell where Mr. Hawkins lived, as the address which he gave at Trevor-square was a false one, no such person living there. Mr. Jephson said that he would not tell, nor would he answer any questions. Mr. Charm= said that the letter he received Was dated from Chapel Cottage, Weston Green. Mr. CONANT asked Mr. Jephson what profession Mr. Hawkins tics of? He replied that he was an artist. Yes, said Mr. Co STANT, I am quite sure of that; but what de. parturient of the arts that you mean does he profess? Mr. Jephson said, landscape painting. Mr. ABRAHAMS ;aid that they had made inqttiries of the first painters, and they never heard of such a person. Mrs. Hughes here observed that Mr. Jephson was married to the first cousin of Mr. Hawkins. The summons was now issued against Mr. Hawkins—and Mr. Brock, the manager of the Mendicity Society, said that it really was unknown the vast sums of money that them two men had fraudulently obtained from the public. The Society had already In their possession proofs of their receiving apwrat of 3,04 . 01.; and there is scarcely a nobleman or gentleman of fortune that can be named, that they have not got sums of money from ; and on the very day of the last examination of the case at this office, Hawkins went, booted and spurred, with a whip in his band, to Mr. God son, of Piocadilly, after leaving this office, and applied to him for a subscription for Jephson. In fact, Mr. Brock said, that a more extensive, gang ofswindlers than these two men and their associates never was unkenneled. Mr. COXAMT said, that he never heard a case that was more deserving of publicity than this, for it would at all events check their future depredauons. Mr. ABRAHAMS said that they had but little hope now of being able to catch Mr. Hawkins. • TOWN-HALL FORTUNATE RECOVERY OY STOLEN NOTER,-AppliCA. tion was made at this office, on the part of Mr. Stocker, a Gentle man on the establishment of Guys Hospital, touching the fol lowing:— Mr. Stocker had received, in the course of the morning, 451., in two 201. and one 51. Bank of England notes, and a check for nine guineas, on Messrs. Masterman's, and was proceeding with them, as he imagined in his poncasion, along the Borough High street, when, to his great surprise, on his arrival at the Hospital, he dis covered they were gone. Immediate information was given, under the impression he had been robbed, and hand-bills were in course of printing, offering a reward of la for the recovery ; payment of the check was also stopped at Messrs. Alasterman's, and Mr. Stoc ker wen on the point of entering the Hospital gates on his remits, when, strange mutability of human affairs ! he was met by a Gen tleman, who handed him the whole of them back, with the assurance that he had picked them up in the street, and perceiving the name and address upon the check, had hastened to restore them. Mr. Stocker, it should seem, bad plsecd the notes loosely in the outside pocket of his ant, on d, doubtless, in drawing out his handker chief, drew out the Dotes with it. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT SIR WILLI.4M CON GREVE ROCKET MANUFACTORY. On Thursday afternoon, &roost tremencluous explosion and die. charge of rockets, shells, Ike. took place at the factory of Sir William Congreve, at West Ham, Essex, which threw the neigh bourhood into a state of the greatest alarm; the shock lasted three minutes ; and it rug first imagined the powder magazine had blown up ; however, the shock not being repeated, several of the inhabitants ofsStraiford, Blackwell, and the workmen of other manufactories in the vicinity, flocked to the place. and found all in a lute of the utmost confusion. The rocket factory is situate in the marshes between Blackwell and West Ham, and is composed of a cluster of detached wooden buildings, the store for the core. bustible twatetiale being about three hundred yards foam the. workshop. The explosion took place in the following manner : Neill, one of the workmen, had, only a few minutes be fore it happened, deposited some rockets in the finishing room, where two men were finishing the rockets, and one of them, in nailing up a case. !struck a blow which caused a spark of fire, that instantly ignited the rocket, and communicated to a number of others, which blew up, and forced the roof off the house. The two men who were at work were horribly scorched, and the ruins of the building fell upon them. The roofs of the adjoining buildings were shaken o and the Maack was so violent, that the workmen (of whom there are fift.:en) at first imagined it to proceed from the powder and rocket magazines: they were obliged to remain under the sheds while the rockets were Miming in the air, as the utmost danger wee appre hended from the falling shells, &c. Neill, who was outside the buildings, was struck on the arms and body by a rocket, and was very severely injured On the two men being taken from the ruins, they wore Mond to be in a state of insensibility ; their heads wear scorched and swollen in a shocking manner : they were in stantly carried to Stratford, and from thence removed on a cart so the London Hospital, where they were yesterday afternoon in such a state, that their recovery was judged impossible by the house surgeon. . _ The rockets fortunately bunt in the air, as, had they fallen on the buildings, the whole would hare been destroyed. line roc►et ploughed up the ground to a very considerable depth. The rockets that explodoll were principally for signals. . . • Such an accident had not occurred since the establichment of the works, and the alarm it created was so great, that expresses were sent to London far the fir engines. and before seven o'clock in the evening three arrived at the factory, but their nervier, were not re 9uircd. An express reached Sir \William Confrere inform ing him of the dreadful explosion, by ten o'clock at nig ht.l The works are still going or, and have not been in the least checked. It may be necessary to state that every precaution has been adopted to prevent accident and the explosion of powder ; from the sys tematic method of working, it was supposed such an accident was impossible.
