O. wEsToN NIGHTINGALE. Thin was an action against the defendant for maliciously, and a ithntit any remionable or probable cause, prosecuting the plaintiff on a chl - cle of felony. Mr. (irawry and Mr. CCITT TY conducted the plaintiff's case. tied Mr. 31ARIYATT, Mr. A DOLpIIUS, and 31r. BRODERICK the defendant'e. Ths ylaintiff and the defendant were respectively the sons of forme-.s. the father of the former being the in.ceming tensor, and the mothar of the latter the nut-going tenant, of a farm et ()attend , . The tregicy of Mrs. Nightingale expired at Michaelmas, 1824. when s'te gave op aontettion of the farm and premises to the plaintiff's father. with the exception if a barn and some other etanteiliihars, which she retained, according to the custom of the i• ote el. v. Lll May, 1823. for the purpose of threshing out the last y. ir's Ci'nl'3. From time to time hay, corn, and other articles, l.e rag miss ;I from tare premise; of which Mrs. Nightingale retainrti re-tetei , n, it was determined to have the buildings watched, in order te , feteet the supposed depredators. In the barn was kept a large q u antity of oil-cakes, for the feeding of sheep. and on a night iv .hatch lam two of the servants of Mrs. Nightinkale concealed themselves ill the building. Early on the following morning their attention wan excited by a young lad pulling she barn-door open, entering and carrying off' a great many oil-cakes, and delivering them to an older lad on the outside. In consequence of the in furmation given to the defendant, who managed his mother's hi:mass, the plaintiff and his brother ere.re apprehended and charged before a Magistrate with feloninuely stealing the oil.cakes on the night in question: and they were committed to take their trial at the Reigate Seseinns in April. where they were accordingly tried and acquitted. The plaintiff was then advised to bring this action. On the pan of the defendant, Mr. Barnard. the committing Alaglatsato, was examined, and he gave it as his decided opinion. that there To just canse for suspecting the plaintiff and his brother of the felony, and for that reason he had committed them to the Stations. Two witnesaee,named Rayky and Page,who had watched the barn on she night of the alleged robbery, swore positively that the plaintiff and his further actually stole the oil cakes. The younger lad had gne inert the barn under the door, and handed the cakes out to the plaintiff, and both were taken in the fact. I'mler these circumstances the Learned Judge interposed and put It to the plaintiff's Counsel, whether there was not at least reason able and penbable cause for the prosecution ? Mr. GI - aver said, if that was the view which his Lordship took of the rase, he must submit to be nonsuited, although he enuid cantradict some of the eircumntances stated by the de trottane. witnesses. The LORD Cm!, Rating wan clearly of opinion that there was re .senehle and probable cause, and therefore directed a non stti'.—Ni rtstoi, a gentleman attorney at law. was indicted on tar int.e 31 (Len. 111. c. 113, for feloninusly embessling 2431. 10s. the property sf William Jones, Esq. his master and employer, in the "Irish of St. ()serge the Martyr. onehe 10th of November.

POLL .xD) stated the else ti.e peotenition. Ths proseeutor was Mr. Junes, the 31arshal cf the King's !tench prison. The prisoner, who had been many vex , an attorney, came from Bath to London, anti was taken into t .e nieleyment of Mr. Jones, en his clerk, with a salary of 3001. ..r Ws duty was to receive anti make raytnent ter 31r. : es. and he was also emeloyed In defend actions brought against 'I litter in his character of Marshal of the King's Bench prison. 4:l‘ &regal end a great number of action had been brought 'rt. Mr. Jones, and defended by the prisoner, without the tor apprised of the proceedings, until called upon to pay the 51'. ernds, The transaction which was the subject of the to indictment was !his:—Two prisoners for debt, named Mills flollingworth, having escaped from the „rules, their respective tits ring eredimts brought actions against the Marshal, which s etc deterded hr the prisoner, on the Marshal's behalf, without hi • attCr.t . ttity. lie lied no knowledge of them until the 10th of No s • tilbcr last, when the prisoner applied to him for M 41., stating that c... 1 money must be paid to settle the actions. The 31arshal was en !tersely angry et being kept In ignorance upon the subject until but immediately drew a cheek on his hankers, and desired the money should be rib! forthwith. The prisoner received 111(ler. and applied shout fO/. in discharging one of the actions, to .• CT remainder be converted to his own use. Thin discovery, however. was not made until the 15th Fie:ember, when the plaintiff's ••orney in *lie action tar the escape of .Mills applied to Mr. Jones 1. r she payment of 2431. 10s. complaining of the lung delay in set iiirg the action. The Marshal wee astonished at this discovery, led fiettirg that the money had not been paid, he had no al:erna t,ve but to give another check for the amount. Under these cir ,n.ra.anect Mr. Jones felt himself hound to institute the present 3: - .112E1t indict:tient. Jones stated that the prisoner wits first employed by him in 6 r t^ir.het 1122. He had a salary of 2001. a year as clerk, with an additional allawante of 10W. a year to act as attorney In actions Taught against witness as Marshal. Witness was only to pay esrenres oulof pocket, its addition to the when the prisoner a .ed as hirat.orney. Sometimes he employed the prisoner on private busine A. as a regular attorney. It was the prisoner's duty to p.ir and receive, but chiefly to receive money on witness's ac. erupt, and pty over the procieds to him weekly, and render regu- E.: weekly vent:ate. Witness then stated the transaction of the allesed embezzlement, in the manner it had been nopened. in his cross-examination by Mr. BRODERICK (with whom was Al , . A DOt.r us), Mr. Jones did not deny that he had notice in August of the bill having been filed against him in .%lills's case. Ile admitted mat he had received 2001. front Milk's sureties, in part indemnity for his liability. This was before Michaelmas term last. He further admitted that he had offered to refer the disputes be. tween hinirclf and the prisoner to two barristers, provided the pri soner ant.ld &liver in his accounts beforehand, which he had ap. plied for over and over again in vein. The prisoner had taken away all the books and vouchers from the office. The prisoner reser could be got to render any account. Lately he had sent in some acc•unt.. but to a very small amount, and merely in dribs and drabs. He had no desire to injure the prisoner t on the con. trAry, he wished to serve him. It we, with his consent that the pr,) , lner was admitted to hail. The 3901. was paid to the prisoner, no (hinny tote:tic the actions as his (witness's) attorney, but at the same time as his clerk and servant. Mr. Baron GRAHAM interposed, and intimated that the prisoner could hardly be considered as having feloniously embezzled the money in the character oCcietk and servant. At this time the pri armee was acting as the prosecutor's te.!orney, and though, perhaps, there was a des iation from Mr. Jones's instructions as to the appli cation of the money, still it was not a case within the statute on which the indictment was founded. Mr. tit:axs v said that if this was his Lordship's opinion he should net pre.' the case any further. The prisoner wa, stain indicted for embezzling a sum of COL, received by him on alt. Junes's scrount from a Spanish gentleman ',soled 31endiribel, for the kentfit of the rules of the King's Bench prison. This nionty woo paid mu the prisoner on the 111th of No ven:ber, 1234, but, as Mr. Jones alleged, he had never accounted for it. The prisoner's out was to render weekly accounts received fr. , on rulers. tie hid renered accounts for 1824, but had never brought obi* aunt (arr.:ad. A tier he quitted Mr. Jones's employ ment a brush' yes fon-d in the office, in which the prisoner charged bincelf with this money. The entry was made with a black lead pencil. This book was kept in the prisoner's desk. and was one of the boot's to which Mr. Jones himself might have had access. Mr. Jones edmitted that hi‘ niem,:ry was not good, and he had no men!. ketion that he had ever received the money in question. Indeed, he was sure be had not. He die' not remember instances in which br had mete tisittskiesin supposing that he had rot received certain sums of roarer when; in far., he had received them.

LA IV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CUANCEFiI: SATURDAY, MARCH IC. rfcttEsr.ry V. DUKE OF OEM:FOOT.. Thia (lay Mr. FEALD resumed his argument. sr.d commented at length on the affitlarks filed in the cease. It was true (said the Learned Gentleman) that out of a mass of lctt• ra. two, and two only. could be selected in which Mr„ Wellesley had fallen into one or two unguarded and irritating exptiosions ; but any iniprevii m which these could otherwise have, must be entirely done away by the general evidence of the remaining catalogue of letters, taken as a whole. These did 31r. Wellesley the greatest credit as a father, and were in direct contradiction to the imputations which are at. tempted to be conveyed by Dr. Bulkeley's atsterneots, It was quite astonishing to suppose that a man who could ha►e teemed his children as Mr. Wellesley has evidently done, secortt'ng to the ge neral tenor of these letters, could have been the person described in the Doctor's affidavit. The contrariety was too stror.g to have existence in one and the game person. With respect to 31rs. Wel lesley's opinion of Mrs. Bligh, it was to be collected plainly enough from the letter which she had written to Mrs. I'atterson. Mrs. Bligh'a mother. The letter, written after Mrs. Bligh had quitted her (3lrs. Wellesley's) house, mei thus : "TO MRS. PATTrRSOM. _ . . " Dear Miulam—l am under the painful nacessity of giving you the information, thrt, owing to the reports respecting Mrs. Bligh and Mr. Long ll'efleshy. though assured and convinced of her innocence. I have induced her to accept, for the mike of both par ties, the advice of her friends in England—namely to return to the protection of her own rehitiens, being convinced that their creme. nance will clone save her character in the eyes of the world." This letter was slated Florence, Bth Jan. 1824, and demonstrated this Mrs. W. never could have seen what Dr. Bulkeley represented had passed before her eyes, of indecent familiarity between her bus. band and Mrs. Bligh, or else she never could have written such a letter to the mother of that lady. The Learned Counsel then read the first line of a letter, addressed on the 4th of August, 182 a, by Mr. Wellesley, to Doctor Lushington, his professional adviser, to show how sincerely alive he was to the interests of his children. It ran thus :—" Sir,—The subject nearest my heart is to promote the welfare of my children." How was it possible he could avow this solicitude, if he were the unfeeling and immoral patent described by Dr. Balkeley ? The thing was quite imroasible. Upon look ing through all the affidavits, the result, as it appeared to him, was, that although there had been a blot in Mr. ellesley's con. duct, yet he dirt not think it was indelible. Mr. Wellesley had made all the recompense in his power to the Court and to the public. and there appeared to be now no cause whatever for keeping his children from him. He observed upon the attempt of Mr. Wel. haler to see his wife when at Clarges-street, and commented upon the feelings by which Mrs. Wellesley had been actuated to secrete herself in the holm. Mr. Wellesley being unable to find his wife, went up into the drawing room, and fell asleep upon the sofa. The next morning he lett the house, and in the September following Mrs. Wellesle.y unhappily and most unexpectedly died. No blame at least could be attached to Mr. Wellesley for his conduct on this occasion. It showed an attachment for Ida wife, and the letter written to his son William, after her death, evinced a very strong feeling of affection and sincere regard for her. If Mr. Wellesley really was that abandoned character which he was represented to be, he never would have so acted or so written. On the 10th of Oc tober following he wrote a letter to Mr. Gladstone, with respect to the care and custody of his children. At that time he had no coo. eeption whatever that the Court of Chancery would interpose ha au thority. The letter was dated 28th Sept., and concluded in the following terms : —" 1 should certainly be most happy to allow the lirle girl to remain with her aunts. I consider it certainly to be my duty to fulfil to the letter any wishes which may have been expressed by my poor wife, when she possessed the free exercise of that good sense and amiability which governed her character." Mr. Wellesley, in a subsequent part of the letter, expresses his opinion that all the questions about his children had much better be with out the law than with it. "My resolution is," he adds, "to live with my children in England, if I can get there. I wanted them to come over to me, because I wish to clasp the poor souls to my heart." He then alludes to the base and false reports afloat against him, none of which had the slightest foundation in truth. " One of them is," he says, " that I want to take my children out of the kingdom. and Langdon, they say, is to be my inform. went." This he declared was both false and malicious, and in vented by his enemies. All he did was to make Langdon take his children over some lands, and at the same time he desired him to repeat to him, vita voce, when he returned, what they had said, and to tell him whether he thought them manly. This he fulfilled Ito the very letter. Towards the conclusion Mr. Wellesley ad. versed to his opinion of the Misses Long : I may be wroog, but I have a strong opinion that the Misses Long are a little sectarian in their opinions. I place them upon their honour not to teach them any thing upon religion but such as is to be gathered from the Common l'rayer Rook or selections from the Bible—no yeti srinue tracts. This is all I ask." He then alluded to Mr. Pitman, the tutor of his children, and professed that he was unable to un derstand the conduct of that gentleman. Mr. Pittman had the care of his children, but did not hold any communication with him (their father.) He had always thought him a man of excellent understanding, and of a highly cultivated mind. The letter con. eluded by some allusion to pecuniary affairs. Could any thing, he asked, be more fit and demesne than this letter ? It showed a strong feeling of affection for his dear children, and a desire for their happiness and welfare. With respect to the other letters, a few only et' which had been communicated from the other side, they were couched in terms highly creditable to the father. He meant those letters which bad been written by Mr. Wellesley to his sons and Mr. Pitman. These had already been slightly touched upon by Mr. Hart, but he thought there were some peintiewhich might he usefully stated. In the first of these letters to his son William, the father expressed his anxiety that his chil dren should always enjoy the best possible health. He hoped wou'd intervene which could occasion illness. still less the loss of Efe. lie then urged, that Dr. Gladstone should not repeat the vaccination, as it might be a dangitrons experiment. Ina letter to his daughter, he thus expressed himself " I send your brothers their watches, and I beg your acceptance of a necklace, such as is now worn by the Princess of Norway.— Ood bless you, my dear child !—P.S. I have forwarded your necklace, as your brothers wished me to send it to you, as you had left off telling stories, which I am glint of." Mr. Wel leaky (always anxious to impress upon the boys' minds the ab s olute necessity of speaking truth, and to avoid tellirg lies even in jest) subsequently wrote to his :am illiam—" Your letter has giro me much pleasure, as it is very creditable to you: the writing is bold and large, and much betters the com position is such as may well belong to a boy of your age, and evinces sincerity, truth, and good (eerie...a." it was then " Your bmther'elast letter is a species of abominable humbug, anti derided falsehood, a fault Mat must never be ovetlooked."— At a subsequent period the father writes, " your letters bear the stump of truth and affectionate feeling." Then followed a long treatise upon what Mt. Wellesley called the alienable habit of cunning. There were many other wts of the letter to which he might have adverted, but lie feared beet lie should be needlessly taking up the time of the Court. The residue of the letters were directed by the father to Mr. Pitmen, and he defied any man to show that they displayed any lukesumnee% or indifference to the in:rusts of his children. Jo one of these Mr. Weilesley said, Your Recount of the hoes made me very happy. I should wish you to pursue, as strictly es possible, +he *icon plan in the education of my boys." At another time he yap'. '• Eitihrace all my children for u.e. tell the boys to be good lads, and beg my little girl not to !ell stories; that she is very pretty now, hut its she lies she will be very ugly." Again, on another occasion, " I have been within the twinkling of au eye of loaner an eye. Tell the boss I have received their three lettem. 'they have done me more good than all thedociora. William is an idle dog for writing me such abort letters. Their letters are very well written. You have obtained great credit, and they ere not without merit." Subsequently the father wrote to this effect : " I am fully satisfied that you will religiously attend to all my direr. ti sus . if the steady system you are pursuing be allowed to be broken in upon, time mischief will be done than can be easily repaired." The last letter was couched in a *huger strain of kind n vie and patetnal affection. "I um very anxious about the silence of my bay*. You did not tell me who the bleat was who said that a „young squire had no excision to study :" and speaking of his non %I illtam he added. " Ile would be a eery letteuull to his name.' if not forced by conviction rather than coarcinn." These were thei sentiments of an affectionate father, and cf . a noble nand ; and this ten the substance of the letter, written without thought, tithe least notice that they would form the subject of future discussion, or even °that they would be preserved. Whatever observations, therefore. might - be made upon this solitary point, for which Mr. Wellesley was now put upon his trial, he was not, at least, a man of that abandoned and profligate habit which idle report had represented him to he. No man could bring home to hint a eon. tinusoce, or intended continuance, of such conduct. All the 'via deuce, therefore, as append to him, led to one omelusioo. There waaa blot which he would cot attempt le conceal, 'On THE BRITISH - PRESS. which, he hoped, would be completely eradicated by his 'subsequent I repentance. Ile concluded by expressing a strong hope that. ' upon a clear and distinct view of the whole case, to be derived both from the lettera and the affidavits. his Loalship would think fit to grant the prayer of the petition. lilr. Drama said, that niter the theta hall been en fully detailed, and the arguments so completely exhausted by Ilia learned leatlcra, it would ill become him to occupy much of his Lordship's time ; but lie felt it incurnhem to make a few observations upon allots rot yet folly ativ.eted tn. The Learned Dentleman then went through the material facra of several affidavits, to show that 31r. Wellesley. however wrongly he hail acted in other respects, had at Vast the credit of succeeding in preventing the contamination of his children; (or there woe not a single iutendo, not a sein tir.s of a hint, that the children ever were in the company Or even ever Yaw Mrs. BHA This surely wall acanthi') tlcsersiug much raise. and showed the feeling of delicacy which pervaded •he mind of Mr. 11'cllesley with respect to by children. He then referre l to a letter addressed by 31r, W. to los wife, in which the former thus expressed himself:— . ` 1 iinplore your sister (list' Long) not tn allow the children to read any of 31r. B.'s religious farragoes.' in a letter to Dr. Lushington a: a sulmeement per:od.the ' father expressed him-elf its asi Mixt manner : " 31y only reason (he lays) toy deniring that my children should remain at Draycnt is. dint they rosy have an opportunity of preserving the religions principles and doctrines of the Established Church, without being poisoned by sectarian doe:lines of the wildcat description, which Mrs. Wellesley'a sisters pursue with the greates: ardour." lie added. " I moir' myself of the Established Church of I;rigland, and I have tatted my influence with the t . lergy on my castes to perform their duties with t•xactitude." The Learned Counsel next alluded to the very Important letters which, in the course of the discussion. had been touched upon, hut never fully rend. One was the letter of Mrs. Wellesley, written shortly previous to her death, in answer to a desire of her husband, communicated• through Dr. Lushingron. with respect to the care of the chiltlren; and the other was a sort of answer to that letter. The first of these document's, addressed to Colonel Windsor, her uncle, was to the following effifct : " ;ly Dear Uncle.—On communicating to my legal adviser,' the purport of the imimadion conveyed to you by Dr. Luahington, as to Mr. ‘Vellesley's request concerning the direction and manage ment of the children ; I am advised to ovoid all discussion at the nreaent moment. Whenever it oily become necessary to enter into it, 1 nincercly treat the line of conduct pursued by me will be found to he becoming anti proper." 31r. Wellesley having heard of tire resolution taken by his wife, wrote the following letter to Colonel Windsor, a few days after wards : llv Dear Colonel—l bane the greatest possible anxiety not to proceed in an unkind manner towards the mother of my children, which could work upon the tenderness of her feelings. The mean ing of your niece's . letter I take to be this. that she will exercise lirr7sole control orer the children, and will not allow them to go to Drayent. The point I want a direct answer to is this question— Will you he good enough to glee me cne from your niece. or from Dr. bushington. Ido not wish to lead you to it correspondence on the auhjeet with nie, and therefore name Dr. Lushington. My fixed resolution is. not to give up my parental rights over my children. My anxious desire is not to exercise those rights in an unkind manner towards your niece, but exercise them I will if I csn." This was the letter which was said to have had so great an effect upon Mrs. Vi'elleeley, and even to have accelerated her death. Ile would ask his Lordship, and every candid man, whether it was calculated to preduce such a feeling as had been represented by Counsel on the other side? After some further remarks, he con. eluded by declaring his belief, that his Lordship would read all tile docuinents, previous to the decision of so important a case. The So LICITOII-fANERAI., who had not before been heard in the case, having been otherwise engaged, then rose to reply. and contended that the defence of 31r. Wellesley was the worst part of the whole case; and, if it rested upon that alone, it would be im. possible for his Lordship to refuse his interference. The man who was capable of framing such a defence, displayed not only a total absence of all religion and morality, but, he was sorry to add, of all manly feeling. Such a defence, he would add, was ten times worse than the original crime itself. The husband had ventured :o hold forth his innocent and ill.ttied wife as the cause and instru. mcnt of his own vile and debasing wickedness. She was, he had declared, the person who had ministered to his vices. To set up such a defence was making crimes more criminal—even more cri minal than the first offence. The Learned Solicitor proceeded at Considerable length to advert to the arguments advanced by Mr. Heald, and to the different heads into which he bad divided the subject. It was said that harsh terms had been used by the Coun sel for the defendant. He would ask, whether similar and equally harsh language had not also been adopted by the Counsel in sup port of the petition? Dr. Bulkeley's statements, supported as they had been by other affidavits, and contradicted by none but Mr. Wellesley, had been termed wicked, false, and malicious fabrications. . . ..-.. ... .. Mr. HEALD denied that he had used these terms. He had con trasted tile affidavits of Dr. Bulkeley with those of Mr. Wellesley, and, io commenting upon the Doctor's affidavit, he had carefully abstained from all offensive language, and had used the words to be found in the plaintiff's own affidavit, viz. that the statements were " wholly false, totally unteve, and entire fabrications." The SOLWITO2-0t Wll RA D . soar ad vowed toils* affidavit whirls Mr. Wellesley had thought "fit to sweat before the British Vice: se Consul at Naples, an act which ( w it CT it might be elsewhere termed) would, in England, be gaff " perjury." Whether the act would be cognizable in any dou of Justice was not a question he would then determine. The loan CHANCELLOR asked what was the date of that affi. dsvit - - • . . - The Sommort-GaNtaat. replied, that it was dated the 24 August 1823, and the pa,eage which was most peculiarly striking Was the following : "I have never visited Mrs. !High butin an open manner; I have never seen her under my roof, or under any other roof but her own, excepting in general society. Mrs. Bligh, on the day when she quitted her husband's house, was met by me a few yards from her own house." In order to show that an adulterous rottreonnis estbsisted between these parties previously to the swear ing of this affidavit (and he should not hesitate to call it, whatever mien be said on the other side, by the strong term of false swear ing), be referred to several affidavits, but particularly to those of Mr. D'Aleans, Mr. Bicknell, and Dr. Bulkeley. The former of these, in his affidavit, stated that on Sunday, the Ist of August, 1823 (the day before this affidavit was made), lie was sent for into Mr. Wellesley's room ; that the latter shut the door, looked deadly pale, and his mouth quite parched. " Mean," he said, " they are going to play hell with me; Mrs. Nigh has left her husband, and aU I am afraid of is the groom and lady's maid ; go directly, and give them something, fir these Bligha have not got a sou." The affidat,:s of Bicknell and of Dr. Bulkeley proved to the same effect, and the journey to Veauvins was of Itself sufficient evidence of the fact. Ile then proceeded to call the attention of the Court to the statements contained in Dr. Bullnley'a affidavit, and adverted par ticularly to the allegation, that Mrs. Thigh was so anxious to con ceal her state of pregnancy, that she was even willing to re sort to the vile means of perverting the course of nature. Mr. NVellesley, who had professed so much religion and morality in his affidavit and the letters to his children, never once thought of repressing such an attempt, or even (Ai:sprouting his abhorrence of the act. _ . . _ At four o'clock his Lordship rose, and desired the Solicitor-Ge neral to conclude his reply on Tuesday morning. lie was anxious that the arguments might he then concluded, in order that during the Easter Recess he might have ample time to read the voluminous papas in the cause.

It is with feelings of no common interest we observe that the spirit of agricuftural improvement is extending itself over the most remote parts of the kingdom.

O, Setteeley evening a smart-looking voting fellow. named Gr•vge 110,4, who was formerly a police officer, was brought he. fore Mr. Al iNsit tt Li.. on a charge of Obtaining, by false pretence., a bedstead and furniture, value fifty guineas, front Mr. Snell, an uphnlsterer. in Albemarle-street. Piccadilly. It appeared in evidence. that about twelve months ago the pri soner railed at Mr. Snell's warehouse, and stating that became from Winchester, prodeeed a letter. purporting to be written by M►. Samuel IVondward. of that place. a friend of Mr. Srell'a fa. mil', requesting that the bearer might he allowed to select a bed. stead and furniture, and some other things, for hint (Mr. Wood. ward). The letter wasa clone imitation of Mr. IVoadward'e hand. writing, aid the prisoner ertoki of him as his particular friend, and mentioned .esp-rel eireumstarees known to Mr. Snell, which coin. Otte:, prevented anything like 'suspicion of the prisoner's inte. grity. He selected an elegant bedstead, and took awe' different patterns Of furniture, in order. as he said, to tend roll inebtater. that Mr. Woodward might make choice of a pattern himself. In a short time afterwards the prisoner called again, and said he had written a particular sirecrintion of the bedstead lie had &mem, and sent the patterns of Nrniture to Mr. Woodward, who approved of his choice of the first, and had rent back the pat. tern he himeelf had chosen of the second. The prisoner then gave directions for sending the belstewl to Winchester, and said ne ' , mid take the furniture himself,, as he was going down shortly. His directions vivre implicitly obeyed, and at a period shortly sub. aequent he called again. and obtained more goods under the same pretences. /It length. however. Mr. Snail discovered that he had been completely duped, Mr. Woodward never having given the prisoner directions to order a single shilling's worth of goods from him. A warrant was applied for and obtained at this office. and the police have ever since been constantly on the look out for the prisoner, but he contrived to elude them until Saturday, when he was met and taken into custody. The prisoner. when asked if he had any thing to say, observed that he should reserve his defence for a more fitting opportunity. He was remanded for a few days, i: being stated that he had been engaged pretty extensively in similar transactions. He is a man of good address. A respectable-looking young man, calling hiroselfJames Bowen, saw brought up on the following charge: Alexander Jones, a clothea-ealemmen in Holywell-street. Strand, stated that the prisoner came into his shop nn that (Saturday) evening, and °Teed resell him a pair of black silk stockings, quite new, for .Is. rid., observing, that if he purchased them he could' bring him some more. ' The witness knowing the vockinge to be worth at least Its., questioned the prisoner, and he said he had pur. chased a quantity at 65, a pair. Il'itnes. steprd out, under pee. fence of pracuring change, hut go: an officer and gave the prisons/ in charge. The officer found three pairs more of the same kind of stockings in the prisoner's pockets, and about 21. in money. The prisoner, who seemed much agitated while at the bar. upon being asked if he hail anything to t say, replied, " I took them from me employer, Mr. Graham, in Ifigh Holborn." He was committed till Tuesday. 'EEN-SQUARE. . . . . 110131311 M or COFFEE Houssts.—On Saturdnv, .I , len Inst. Birmbrzliarn. otherwise Captain Birmingham, was brought up tor further examinatien, when the following additional charges were exhibited azaiust him. . . . . „.. . Joseph 'i'alkington, the principal waiter at the Ohi Bell Inn, Ibmn, stated that about seven weeks since one of the silver tea spoons was missed suddenly from the coffee room, and in a week after another was stolen. Ile was accountable to his employer, Mr. 'rinson, for all the plate, and had replaced the same by purchasing two others at his own expense. When the second ;noon was mis sing, a gentleman's great coat was also stolen from the same table, and a man was observed going down the inn-yard with the pro party in hie possession ; but the robbery being unknown at th4t period, the fellow escaped. NVitness further stated thht Mr. Tieson, the proprietor of the inn, had been robbed of nn less than eleven table cloths, taken cut of the caffee.room at different times. 31r. James Shaw, a gentleman residing at Binninghstn, said on his arrival in London about six weeks ago, he pot up at the Old Hell Inn, Holborn. He went into the coffee-room and mok off his great coat, which he laid or. one of the tables. from whence in the counfe of five minutes it was taken, and a silver tea wools from the same table. Three pawnbrokers produced two silver spoons, three table cloths, and a great coat, pledged at their houses by the prisoner. in the month of January last, in the name of William Brown. The latter article was instantly sworn to by ;11r. Shaw, as his property, also a pair of gloves, which the officer found at the prisoner's lodgings. Talkington, the welter, closely inspected the spoons and the table cloths, and declared them the property of his master from the initials. _ . The prisoner was fully committed. AVOILSH IP—STREET. ROBBERIES BY SERtANTS.—On Saturday last Sophia Co,-. gcrett, a servant in the family of Mr. Lycect, of Windsor terrace, City-road, was fully committed for trial, on a charge of robbing her employers. The prisoner, it appeared, had lived in the family for the last two leowtha as honseanind, and during that period various articles of property had unaccountably disappeared; a Vilittlith mourning ring, a pair of silver spectates, and various other articles of wearin apparel were missing. At length suspicion having fallen on `Sop hia, Mrs. hyeett examined her drawer; anti finding two caps which had been lost some tune before, it was deemed necessary to search her boxes. The prisoner declared she had lost the key of one box, and evaded the inspection, until the box being forced open, she acknowledged the , . it contained the stolen property, and entreated forgiveness. An officer being sent for, the search was completed; and in the box were found the ring, the spectacles, a silk handkerchief, which had been lost from the pocket of Mr. Lyeett's great-coat the week preceding, and numerous other articles. She was fully committed for trial. Inn. Sage, a young man employed as a porter at Molt's wharf, Regent's Canal, City-road, was examined on suspicion of having opened and robbed a bale of silk. The bale had been deposited in an obscure corner of one of the warehouses, and on Friday it was found that 7} lbs. of the silk had been stolen. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, in consequence of his having been observed standing near the bale shorly bAlre the discovery of the robbery. No part of the stolen property has yet been discovered. The pr.suner was remanded for further inquiry. HORSE STEALING.—Jostpit Ludlow, alias Joseph Ta+ylo•, who had been apprehended on suspicion of stealing a horse from Mr. Weal, of Pinner, near Harrow, was again brought up. Upon being now seen by the parties who purchased it, he was declared by them not to be the man, and the charge was, of course, dismissed. Attfield then applied to have him remanded, until the attendance of witnesses could be procured, who, he thought, could prove the prisoner's having been concerned in the stealing of four horses from Mr. Batten. of Brickwall, Hertfordshire ; a robbery for which a passion named Harpurwas committed from this office several months ago and afterwards executed. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday (tomorrow.) LAMBETH-STREET. CHARGE or Ansox.—On Saturday, Wm. Lewis Smith, a cabinet-maker in a small way, residing in Old Montague-street, Whitechapel, and who has been in custody for some days past, was placed at the bar, for further examination, charged with wilfully setting fire to his premises, with intent to defraud the Globe Insu rance Company. Mr. rRESIEFIELD, solici.or, and Mr. HEnow, surveyor to the Company. attended for the prosecution, and a person from Mr. Ilarmer's Mike for the defence. The evidence iu support of the charge was as follows: John Dungste. examined. On the night in question, hearing an alarm of tire, I took the parish engine to the prisoner's house ; there were about twenty persons present, and the fire. I thought, originated in a shed in the yard, hut on examination I found that there was one also in the dwelling house, This was in a cupboard, situated under the stairs; .n it were a parcel of shavings, which were on fire, together with the staircase. This excited my sus phione, and I took the prisoner into custody. I was then, and am still, of opinion, that the tire from the shed could not oommuni. ate with the house, as there was a large yard between them. Mr. HERON here produced the policy, by which it appeared that the prisoner had effected an insurance for the first time on the 1144 Deeember lust, for 3001. His stuck in trade, furniture, at. he said slid not amount to 100/. All the autnesees not being in attendance, the prisoner was reroanticd for further examination. i'llE ARMY.
