THE BRITISH PRESS. him to Cornhill, and he Mated that be wished me to purchase 101. in French money at Thomas's bullion office, and to go to Clerken well to fetch his watch it oln his watchmaker's, and 1 was to return with it and the money to Guildhall, and meet him under Pitt's too nument. I did as the prisoner directed me; I offered two of the M. note' , which the prisoner gave to me, in pnyment for the bullion, to .Mr. Thomas ; and one of the notes being objected to, I took it to the Hank of England, and got it changed. I wrote my name and address on the note at the Beek. I went back to Thomas's. and received the French money. It consisted of napoleons and sonic silver. I gave the prisoner the French money at Guildhall. and told him that 1 had been at the Bank to change one of the IL notes, which had been objected to by Mr. Thumas. He asked me if I had put my name on the note? I said yes. He appeared rather flurried, and I said we never can be too open and candid with a public body like the Batik of England, and I had therefore written nay 'rime upon it in the regular way of business. I said it was probable he would hear no more of the note. I told him that the watchmaker refused to deliver up the watch, and I coffered him the sovereign which he had previously given to me to pay for it. and he told me that I might keep it. 1 surd it was too 'ouch for any services, and lie said I might work it out. He told me that he wan going out of town for a few days. I saw him again afterwards and he asked me if I had heard any thing about the note ? I said that I had not. Ile desired me, if I should, to let him know im mediately. He told me 1 might find him any day at the Brewers' Arms, Isingsland-mad. I received a letter respecting the Hank of England note from 111 r. Freeling, desiring me to call upon ham. I saw the prisoner, anal showed hint the letter. Ile told me that he did not know from a bom he received the note, and 1 said I am afraid there is something wrong, and it so stop it. He said that he did not wish his name to appear, as there had been several em bezzlements in the Post-office by taking money out of letters. He desired me to say, I had taken it In the regular way of business, and I could not recollect from whom." He asked me if any rent was paid ? and I said it was not. He gave me two sovereigns ; we parted, and I went home and wrote to 3lr. Feeding to that effect. I heard nothing further for some days. Some person called while I was from home, and I saw the prisoner again. Ile said he wished his name not to spasm in the business, and I promised him not to mention it if I could avoid it. He said if 1 saw the party who had called at my house to inform him what passed. I ex. petted the parry to call again on the Monday, and I appointed to meet the prisoner on the following day on IVeterloo-bridge. I was taken into custody on the Tuesday morning, before the time 1 was to have met the prisoner. he letter of Mr. Erecting, de siring the witness to inform h im front whom he received a five pound bank -note, No. 7,955. which he paid into the Bank of England on the 9th of July, and had written his name and address upon, was read.] On his cross.examination the witness said he was in custody several hours before he gave up the prisoner's name, and disclosed the whole of the transaction. Mr. Mercer, clerk in the Bank of England, produtl'ed the note, No. 7,955, which was paid into the Bank on the 19th of July. " Charles Wallis, No. 3, Bermondsey Nett/4.0'd," was indorsed on it. 31r. Gardiner identified the note produced as one of those sent by him from Wimhourne on the 7th of July. Wallis proved it was the note he received from the prisoner, and paid into the Bank on the 9th of July. Mr. Thomas and the watchmaker corroborated Wallis 's evidence as it respected his transactions with them. A clerk of Messrs. Fry and Chapman produced a Wincanton bank-note for 5/. which was paid by them on the 9th of July. 3lr. Gardiner identified it as one of those enclosed in the letter in quest ion. The prisoner was called upon for his defence, but declined say ing any thing. Mr. BRODERICK proposed to ask Mr. Watts if depredations had not been committed on the Post-office since the present offence ? - The Judges decided that the question was illegal. A number of gentlemen of respectability were called, and they gave the prisoner the highest character for honour and integrity up to the present transaction. 111 r. Justice PARK summed up the case, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. The Jury strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on ac count of his excellent character. Mr. Justice PARE said he would make a note of it ; and ob served, that Mr. Attorney-General heard it. [Before the RECORDF.U.) Robert alias Richard Wiltshire, aged FM, and Maria, his wife. aged 35, persons of very respectable appearance, were indicted for stealing a quilt, and divers other articles, the property of IVilliam Brenton, from a lodging-room. The wife of the prosecutor stated, that her husband lives in Castle-street, liolborn. The prisoner at the bar applied last Nov. for lodgings et her house, when she let them the tirst floor. The male prisoner represented that he was about to sell an estate which would bring him upwards of 8,000/. They continued there until last September, when being 29 weeks in arrear, witness gave them notice to quit. The male prisoner went away immediately, and his wife was about to follow, but she prevented her, and then pro. ceeded to search the room, when she found, among other things, that a quilt and sheet were missing. Christian George Matthews stated, that on the 30th Sept. he re ceived the prisoners. A pawnbroker stated that the articles in question were pledged by the female prisoner in the tame of Williams, on the 19th Sept. last. The female prisoner put In a well written defence, declarative of their great distress, which was the cause of the act she had com mitted, for which she expressed her Ver. She entirely excul pated t he husband from any knowledge of the offence. It also ad verted to the happy circumstances in which they had been placed. to which AIL Newman, the City Solicitor, and other respectable persons could testify. They called no witnesses to speak to character. The RECORDER summed op, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the male, and acquitted the female prisoner. Before the verdict was recorded, one of the jurymen informed the foreman that he did not understand that to he the verdict, but after a short conference he concurred with his brethren in the ver dict as delivered. The RECORDER ' in severe terms, reprehended the pawnbroker for his negligence in not filling up the duplicate according to the Act of Parliament. Instead of setting down the christian name of the party, there was an initial, and the address was Holborn. Who, in case of necessity, could find a person named Williams in a long street like that? In order to check this culpable negligence, the Court would in every instance, as in this case, refuse the pawn. broker his expenses. FORGERY. R. W.

The evidence against the prisoner was in substance the same as that lately detailed in the police reports. The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty; but as several persons had given him an excellent character, they recom mended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Court. The RECORDER said, that circumstance and their request should be transmitted to the proper quarter. Thee boys, who had been convicted of stealing pocket-hand kerchiefs from passengers in the streets, were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. The RECORDER remarking on the increasing prevalence of this species of crime (there being fourteen cases on the calendar), inti mated, that in every case of conviction the offender should be transported for life. Ile then pronounced that stmence on the prisoners. NEW COURT. Thomas Butcher, Ridraid ;111;sort11, and John Rill, were charged on two indictments with stealing 800 bricks, the property of his Majesty; and Robert Adams was indicted for receiving the tame. Butcher and Allsworth were employed at the new buildings in Downing-street; Allsworth as a foreman, and Butcher as a la bourer. The bricks in question were stated to be the property of his Majesty, as they were to be used in rebuilding the Government offices. It was proved that, on two occasions, Adams sent a cart to the building at five o'clock in the morning; that Butcher, Ails worth, and Ball assisted in loading the cart with old and new bricks, anti also in depositing them in Mr. Adams's cellar. The officers took Adams into custody before they apprehended Ails. worth, and in conveying him to the police-office they met Allsworth. Adams said, " that is the man from whom I purchased the bricks." Allsworth did not contradict this statement, but declared he had given Adams directions not to send for any bricks on that morning. Allsworth was then taken into custody. With repard to Butcher nand Ball, there was no farther evidence against them than that they assisted in loading and unloading the cart. Adams's apprentice and labourer were equally guilty ; but they were admitted as eth deuce. It appeared that when the officers apprehended Adams he was making some statement, but when they told him not to say anything which might commit himself he was silent. In his defence he said that he had giver. a fair price for the bricks, and he called his apprentice, who proved that when the men asked for drink, that Adams said, " I pay a fair price for the bricks, and will not give you drink." He also called the person from whom he had borrowed the cart, and who proved that he was unable to accommodate him with it at any other time than five o'clock in the morning. The prisoners received xn excellent character, particularly Adams, for whom 22 witnesses appeared. The COMMON SERGILAWT, in his summing up. commented upon the conduct of officers in preventing persons making • state ment which might be used in their favour, or further the ends of justice. He felt pow surprise that • person of Mr. Adams's re spectability should purchase bricks from labourers in so clandestine a manner. The Jury consulted together two hours, and then returned their verdict finding Alkwortit Guilty, but acquitted the others. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SATURDAY, OCT. 29. Thomas Goulds:7llth was indicted for fraudulently obtaining eighteen shillings from Daniel Mend, a baker, in Clerkenwell, under pretence that he wanted that sum to obtain an attested copy of the schedule of one Andrew Parsons, an insolvent ; whereas, in point of fact, lie d:d not want the tome. The oroueution fell to the ground through a flaw in the indict ment, and Mr. PRENDERGAST, the Counsel for the prosecution, said that it (the indictment) must have been drawn by the prisoner himself; the thing was so completely framed to secure him from punish. aunt.

He had represented, by letter, that lie was a miniature painter, had just suffered illness with a cancer in his nifroth, and had lost his wife in child-bed. The letter was 101 l of canting and high stmeding epithets, moat piteous bewailinge of reduced circumstances. and fraught with every thing that was calculated to awaken the sympathy of the lady. The letter was accompanied with a physician's certificate, corroborating the talc of ill health and former respectability. The fellow's application was made in the name of Ingall, and the certi ficate framed accordingly. The lady left the 4s. for him, and he was on the acme evening found drunk on the Hampstead-road, with the produce of the fraud, accompanied Sy the woman who was said to be his wife, and who was, according to his written state ment in the morning. dangerously ill after her accouchement. Elizabeth Bingham proved the presentation of the prisoner's written appeal at the house of Alra. Walker. and the delivery of four shallop to him in consequence. It was also proved that he was found drunk the Same evening, on the Hampstead-road, and obliged to be carried to the watch-house in a wheelbarrow; and the Officers of the Mendicity Society proved the falsehood of the risoner's tale of distress in every part, and of all the documents found upon his person. When called upon foe his defence, the prisoner said, It don't really appear to me that the proof is sufficient to show that I car ried about these letters to &fraud people. It really don't." The unembarrassed air of the fellow in making this observation was quite ludicrous. ' The Jury immediately found the prisoner—Guilty. The prisoner was next indicted for having, on the same day, defrauded another lady, Mrs. Batty, at Hampstead, by repre senting himself as an unbeneficed clergyman, who had formerly been a chaplain in the navy, and accompanying the application with a variety of plauaible statements of heavy family distress, in the same of Charles Wentworth, accompanied, of course, with a physician's certificate of his decayed health, and diattessed family. The prisoner declared his readiness to plead guilty. The CHAIRMAN reminded him that he had better take the chance of a trial, for that the second indictment would expose him to transportation. The prisoner repeated that he would rather plead guilty, which he immediately did : this plea was recorded. The COURT, after commenting on the heinousness of hisoffence, sentenced him to transportation for seven years. TIIE NEW GARDEN ACT. IV. Skeater, G. Comble, and J. King, three boys. the two termer of 14 years, and the latter aged lb, were indicted under the New Garden Act, for stealing five apples, value four.pence, the property of Sir J. Gibbon, Bart. of Stanwell-place, near Staines. . The prisoners had been five weeks in prison. They are fine looking boys, and were neatly dressed, having clean white smock. frock over their other clothing, and had all the appeanume of de cent labourers or small farmers sons. They appeared much affected on being placed at the bar, and cried incessantly during the whole time they remained there. Mr. PRENDERGAST stated the case, observing that however salutary the Act might be in some respects, still It was rather to be lamented that it should extend to boys like those at present at the bar, who, however respectable in other respects, had from what sas meant, perhaps, as little more than a boyish frolic, be come subjected to the penalties of this Act, and the consequent deteriorating influence of an association with felons in a common gaol. It was not, however the wish of the prosecutor to press for • heavy punishment, nor would this prosecution have been in stituted, if Sir J. Gibbon had not found that he was continually being plundered of his fruit G. il'oolford, servant to Sir J. Gibbon. stated, that he had been employed to watch the grounds. On the 23d of September, about 1 o dock in the morning, he saw the prisoners under an apple tree in the orchard. They were holding down one of the boughs, from which they . had pulled off five apples, when witness came up, and took then. into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY.—The boys ate sons of decent labourers, and have always borne a good character in the neigh bourhood. 'On my taking hold of them they cried-very much. and expressed their contrition. I let them go, as I knew where to find them. They were taken into custody the following day, and car ded before the Rev. Mr. Cowes, who committed them for trial. Sir John Gibbon was on the belch at the time. He is a Magis trate for the county, The CHAT/Imam, in summing up, said, that the new Act, although in the present case it might appear severe, was one that had become necessary to the clue protection of those whose property principally consisted in orchards or garden ground. The case be fore them was not one that required severe punishment, and per haps it would have been as well if it had been passed over in the first instance, but as- the aggrieved party had thought proper to have the boys taken into custody, the Magistrate before whom they were taken had no discretion but to commit them for trial. If they (the Jury) were of opinion that the boys at the time were not aware that what they were doing amounted to a felony, or that it was done as a mere boyish frolic, they would give them the benefit of that opinion, as a conviction for felony would be a serious thing against young boys like those. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Vot Guilty. The verdict appeared to give general satisfaction. The CHAIRMAN ordered the immediate discharge of the pri soners, at the same time admonishing them not to be guilty of such offences in future. POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday a respectable broker of the Stock Exchange, ne companied by eight or ten gentlemen, who stated themselves to be Shareholders in a Mining Company, which was startedabout three months ago, appeared at the Justice-room, to request the interfe rence of the Chief Magistrate with the Bankers or the Directors of the concern, in order to obtain a restitution of money which they had advanced as deposits upon shares. They had, they said, paid the deposit of 21. per share, in the expectation that what the p-c -spectus set forth would be positively realised, and that their money would be most advantageously invested. The shares had reached a small premium in consequence of a manortivre in the market, but they soon tumbled down to a discount. The holders, naturally alarmed at this sudden downfal of the shares, began to inquire about the responsibility of the persons whose names appeared as Directors. They perceived that there were some respectable names amongst them, but upon application, they were referred to the Secretary, who was able, they said, to give the most full and satis factory information. The Secretary, in answer to their inquiries, assured them, upon his honour, that the Company was one of the roost promising in the kingdom, and that they would soon receive a fine per ventage for their money. This was all they could learn. Not a word was said aboit the manner in which the Directors were disposing of their property. In fact, the Secretary seemed to know just as much about the prices as the Shareholders, who thereupon applied to the Bankers for information,. Here they also failed ; the Bankers referring them back to the Secretary. Under these circumstances they demanded the amount of their receipts, but were refused, the Directors having issued no orders to pay them off. A Shareholder—l was told, by a Director of the Company, that the money had been drawn out of the banking-house, from the apprehension that it would be attached in the Mayor's Court, if left in the city. (A laugh.) Another—Yes, I believe that to be the case. lam convinced that they have no more idea of digging a mine, than they have of building another tower of Babel. This has been the manner in which multitudes have been taken in. A man takes up a pro spectus, sees a number of respectable names attached to it, and calculates upon its success in consequence of the manner in which it is thus introduced. A third Shareholder—The Directors are chargeable with a great deal. They, It is notorious in all cases where the money of the public is determined to be played with, merely lend their names for the reward of a certain number of shares, and the moment they receive the shares, they sell them, and then, in gratitude, retire from the direction. Alderman A ?MAY, who sat for the Lord Mayor, laughed very much at the statement, and said he was really astonished that the public had not taken warning long since, from certain occurrences which had taken place when first the mania commenced. Surely enough had been said to induce people to keep their money in their pockets. " Why do you not fix upon the Managers," said he; and demand your property from them ?" A Shareholder—lt is useless. We are referred to the Secretary, who continues to boast of the concern, and humbugs us. It is no torious that no more than 409 shares have been paid upon, and can the managers be justified, supposing that they were serious in the assertion that the concern was going on. in applying the money al. ready subscribed, when it was arranged that nothing should be done until the whole 1,800 shares should be paid up on ? Were not the shareholders the persons to decide upon the disposal of the money in the hands of the bankers ? Alderman ANSLEY said, he did not think the bankers could be called upon, or were responsible to any but the Directors, upon whose account they received the deposits and issued the scrip. He believed that an action at law would have the effect of making the managers refund. A Shareholder—l was told some time ago by a Director, that it was intended to get hold of the bears for some hundreds of the shares which were locked up ; and that as soon as that was do- e,those who held shares could dispose of them at an immense premium. The attempt had , I believe, been made. bur proved unsuccess f u l, upon which the managers seemed determined to do the Nat they could for themselves. Another—Yea ; I was told there would be a " rig" in the mar. ket ; but the public bad seen the operations in the Lower Rhine Company, and no bears could be caught. A third—lt would be very desirable to have the bankers here, to state what has taken place for the rood of the shareholders. lam aware that there is no ground for summoning them, but if the Lord Mayor would write a note requesting their attendance, no doubt they would consent without hesitati o n. Alderman ANSLEY told the applicants they might, if they pleased, ask the Lord Mayor to interfere in the manner suggested, but he could not give them any further assistance than the advice to take the opinion of Counsel upon the Question, which it certainly appeared was one of very general interest. Mr. Hobler said, he believed the best manner in which the corn. plainant could act, would be by indicting the managers for • conspiracy. The complainants went away, apparently determined to adopt the latter suggestion. GUILDHALL. On Saturday, Mr. Mores Israel Levi, an elderly gentleman, of the Jewish persuasion, came up In custody of an officer, on a charge of felony, preferred by a person named Christopher, shoproan in (*millet' shop, Fleet-etre:et.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, OCT. 29. Middlesex remnent Sittings. after Trinity Term, before the LOMD OUR) , JUSTICE, and COWING* TE•RSOR v. WHEELER. This was an action fora false and deceitful repnventatina, as to the ralu't of the good-mill and lease of a public-house, purehavtl by the plaintiff' of the defendant. Mr. Scaaczyr and Mr. JARDINE conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. R. V. Rteunatis, the de fendant's. The public-house In question is called the "Two Spies," in Catherine -street, Strand. In the spring of the present year, the plaintiff entered into a treaty for the purchase of the good-will, and the remainder of the defendant's term, about 11 years, in the house, and he concluded the purchase at the price of lOW. which he was induced to pay upon a representation made by the defendant, that during his occupation of the premises, " he drew from four to five butts of beer per month; that he drew from two to four hundred pounds per month over the bar; that a neighbour of his had o ff e r e d him, some time before, 1001., but that he refused to take less than 1,6001." The plaintiff was admitted into possession in March last. but he soon discovered that the receipts were far over-rated by the defendant. Upon inquiry of the brewers and spirit-merchants who supplied the house with liquors, he found that during the last year of the defendant's occupation his whole receipts did not amount to more than 75/. per month, and that the value of the good-will and lease did not exceed 700/. These facts were proved by several teltneases. The defence set up was that the defendant's representation was true in substance and effect. Mr. Nice, an auctioneer, proved that he had been employed by a Mr. Wake to enter into a negotiation with the defendant for the purchase of the house; and had actually offered him 1.6001. for the lease and good-will. The witness thought that was the fair value of the house; he thought so still, and would even now give that sum of money for it. Mr. Wake corroborated Mr. Nice's evidence, and wns of the same opinion as to the value of the premises. —Another witness who had lodged in the house during the defendant's possession, proved, that in the theatrical season, the house was frequented by persons who had supper and other refreshments, independently of beer, and spiritous liquors. The heap CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case. The Jury retired for about half an hour, and found their verdict for the platntiff.—Damages Two Hundred and Fifty Pounds. PATTERSON V. TRONA,. This was an action on the case for running down and destroying a wherry of the plaintiff's on the river Thames.—Plea, Not Guilty. Mr. Gurney and Mr. Reader conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Scariett and Mr. Maule, the defendant's. The plaintiff was stated w be a poor waterman, and the de. fendant the owner of a fishing smack, called the Adventure. In the evening of the 31st December last, about seven o'clock, the plaintiff's bast was attached to to schooner, called the Diligence, then lying at anchor in Long Reach, near the Kentish side of the River. The plaintiff's apprentice was in the boat taking care of it. It was a moon light night, and whilst in this situation, the de fendant's vessel, comilig up the River laden with live fish for London, ran the boat down, and in the concussion it was com pletely divided. The boy, who was thrown into the River, clung to a rope, and wu taken in safety into the defendant's vessel. Under there circumstances the action was brought. The question was, whether the mischief was produced by the negligence of the persons on board the smack. Witnesses were examined on both sides upon this Issue, and as is usual in cases of this nature, they differed widely from each other io their account of the transaction. Tlst LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evidence on both Bides, and left the Jury to determine whether the accident arose in consequence of the negligence of the def ' endant's servants. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 121. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, SATURDAY, OCT. *9. [Before Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron GARROW, And a Lon. don Jury.] William Hear! Austen, aged 35 years, stood indicted for steal. ing a bank note, value $l., the property of Charles Gardiner, which had come into his possession by virtue of his office as a letter-sorter at the General Post•office. There was a second indictment against the prisoner for stealing a bank note, No. 7,955. value Si., the pro perty of Duncomb Pyrke. The prisoner was a man of gentlemanly appearance. He pleaded Not Guilty. The prosecution was conducted by the Attorney-General, Mr. Bonand, and Mr. Sheppard ; the defence by Mr. Broderick. The Attorney-General stated the case to the Jury. Charles Gardiner—l am a traveller, In the employment of Mr. John Pyrke, hop-merchant, of Oxford. On the 7th of July last, I was at Wimbourne, in Dorsetshire, and remitted from thence to Mr. Pyrke a letter, containing country bank notes, one of which, for 51., wee payable at Fry and Chapman's, and bills, and one bank of England note, No 7.955, for Si., amounting in the whole to 781. Os. 81. I made a memorandum of all the bills and notes. IWitness here stated the particulars of each.) I took the letter. sealed, to the Wimbourne post-office, and the box being closed paid a penny. Mary Anne Hussey—l am postmistress at Wimbourne, and re member the last witness bringing me a thick letter, addressed to Mr. Pyrke, of Oxford, on the 7th July. The course of the post from Wimbnurne to Oxford is by Southampton, Bath, &e. It has happened that letters have gone by London ; and the letter the last witness gave me was sent by the way of London. Charles Paddington, a clerk in the General Post Office, stated that he received the Wimbourne bag safe on the Bth of July. and opened it and placed its contents on the table about seren o'clock in the morning. A letter addressed to Oxford would be removed to the Shrewsbury table in about an hour, and remain there till five o'clock in the evening. Thera ware many sorters and messengers in the office. Mr. Samuel Johnson, one of the Presidents of the Post-office. described the process of sorting the letters, and removing those to be sent to the country. In the office where the Wimbourne hag WAS opened there were twenty divisions, and four ptrsons at each divi sion. A letter from Wintbourae to Oxford should pass through eight or ten different hands. The prisoner had been employed in the Post-office sixteen years, and up to the present transaction bore a good character. The making up and sealing the Oxford bag, on the night of the Bth of July, was proved by the several persons by whom it wus performed. Thomas Fox Bicknell, postmaster of Oxford, proved that on the mornicg of the 9th July, the London bag arrived safe, with the seal unbroken. John Pyrke proved that he is a hop-merchant at Oxford ; Charles Gardiner is his traveller at Wimbourne. Witness received no letter from him on thelltb of July. Thomas Bridges, a letter-sorter in the Post-office, stated that the Oxford letters came to his division on the Bth of July, and that the prisoner several times came and looked at the Tetsworth letters saying he had friends living there. The Tetsworth box sdjoins the Oxford box. Mr. Watts, one of the Presidents of the Post-office, proved, that on the Bth of July. the prisoner was one of the seven clerks of the Manchester division, which is next the Shrewsbury division; the Oxford letters were made up at the Shrewsbury division ; lie had known the prisoner from his childhood, and his father for forty years; they were both respectable men ; the prisoner always bora an excellent character. The witness appeared to be much affected. Charln Wallis-4 hare known the prisoner since 1811; 1 met him in Horton about ten days before the 9th of July ; I had not seen him for a long tine before I I had the misfoittine to be in solvent ; be asked me how 1 sae off; and I said but middling ; he told me that he had an opportunity, sometimes, of putting a trifle in my way; he took down my direction, `• No. 3, Berinondsey New-road ;" I Mw him again on the 9th of July ; he called at my lodgings, at Bermondsey ; he asked me what I had got to do that day? I said nothing, and i was at his service ; he said that he wanted me to get some notes changed for him in the cite. This was ab , , , ,ut ten o'clock in the morning. He gave me three five pound country notes, and requested me to get them changed at the bankers where they were payable at in the city, and to meet him at eleven o'clock on the Smelt wark-bridge. I went to the bank of Stevenson, Flemington, and Co., Lombard -street, and changed one note; I changed the other two notes at Fry and Chapman's, and gave the prisoner the money at the-plane appointed. I walked with n 26 28 28 i ent into • ' to ridicule the fcripture representation of th e Hefty an w , the shop, and remonstrated with Ch r i stop h er on the iinpreptiety of exposing a picture 'kit was painful to the kelinge of all tr ue believers. Christopher, however, refused to remove it, and Yi r . Lent went out of the shop, broke the pane of glass against the picture was placed, and pulled it out and tore it in pieces. Christopher immediately sent for an officer, and gave Mr. Levi taw custody, on a charge of felony, for stealing the picture. He al., stated, that as another shopman was handing him a similar picture to bring to the Justice Room, Mr. Levi snatched it out of (its liata and tore it. Mr. Levi admitted the facts as stated. The Alderman at once dismissed the charge of felony ; L directed that Mr. Levi should pay for the pane of ppas; pictures. ROW-STREET. On Saturday, Charles Bickers, a boy about eleven years of ag e , was brought up In custody. It appaared by the evidence 'gam, : him, that on the 13th instant, Dickers, in company wi t h led named Smith, went to the shop of Mr. Turner, a baker, u l Highgate, with a cheek for 2H. 13s. Cd. purporting to be draw n by Mr. Dowling, a respectable inhabitant of Highgate, on M ew ,. Drummond and Co. with a written request for cluing!, in the Unit of Mr. Dowling. Mr. Turner gave the prisoner the change; and in a few minutes he returned, with a request from Mr. D. f. a loan of 101. which Mr. T. also gave. The cheek, when preatinted at Drummond's, was found to ilea forgery, and the prisoner, Who is the son of a travelling costcrmonger, was apprehended. In his defence, the prisoner said, he did not know Dowling', person, but received the check from a gentleman at his gate, wp v said he was Mr. Dowling, and when he received the change of the check he sent the prisoner fur 'helots° of 101. and after that wa s brought to him, told the prisoner he was a relation of Al r. Dowling' s , and gave him a shilling for his trouble. It was proved that the prisoner was in the habit of sitting ir. the next pew to Mr. Dowling in church, and he evidently equivocated in his account of the transaction. Ile was remanded. It was ascertained that many other sums have been obtained b, similar deception, practised, it is supposed, by the same person. WORSHIP-STREET. An account appeared last week of Werasewhich occurred at ti Office, in which a young man of the name of Anthony Compel:. who was found, by the constable of Kingsland, loitering about the stree's, without being enabled to give a p r op er account o f h itntelr. excused himself by complaining most bitterly of the maltreatment he hail received from his father and stepmother. It will also be recollected that the then sitting Magistrate, Mr. Benett, believing the tale he told to be true, most humanely offered to recommeall the boy to the Marine Society. The Committee of this praiseworthy Institution paid the most prompt attention to the recommendation of the Magistrate, and the whole of the parties were summoned before them. At this iota. view, however, the boy seems to have told • very dif f erent story to that which he represented on the morning of hie appearance at this Office, as the following copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Society to the sitting Magistrate will clearly show ' Marine Society Office, Oct. 27, 1225, "Stn,—The Committee of this Society lelt great pleasure in rescuing Iron ruin that boy recommended by you to their notice, named Anthony Compare ' • and the Committee entertain t h e pleasing hope that he will eventually become a useful member of society. But the Committee think it proper that you should be informal that it has been clearly proved, upon examining the father and the boy, that be has always been the subject of parental kindness and attention. " The boy has stated that he is very sorry for what he has d one. and repents heartily of havin g ma d e those false emanations agent,: his parents, which have unfortunately obtained so much pulniery, and which, according to his own account, were made with a ilea to induce the Magistrates to send him to sea. _ " I h3ve the honour to be. &c. (Signed) " THOMAS KING. " To Wm. Benett, Egg." On Saturday Mr. Benctt observed, that the fallacious axon 7: which the boy hud given in that Office having gone forth to the world, and being in a high degree calculated to wound the feelinge of the father and the whole of the family, it could only be expected in fairness that the boy, contradiction of his own i.tory should al, find circulation through the same medium as that which was the means of promulgating the boy's story. Notwithstanding the strange conduct of the youth. the Marine Society have not withdrawn their protection from him: and be has accordingly been sent on board the Society's ship, ',Hell I, ee off Deptford, preparatory to his proceeding to sea under thci: directions.
