It being generally understood that the trial of Edward Beaumont Smith, for the forgery of Ex chequer bills, would take place on Saturday, the Court was crowded' t an early hour. On the bench we noticed ',OM Monteagle, Sir Thomas Troubridge, Sir John Dean Paul, and several influential persons in the City. Shortly before ten o'clock, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor- General, and Sir - ,,Thomas Wilde, entered the Court, and took their seats within the Bar. At ten o'clock Mr. !Baron Parke took his seat on the Bench, and the prisoner was immediately placed at the Bar. He appeared collected, but looked extremely pale. Mr. Clarke, the Clerk of the Arraigns, then said—" Edward Beaumont Smith, you are in dicted for that you on the 10th of August last, at the parish of Saint Martin's-in-the-Fields, did feloniously forge" a certain Exchequer bill, dated the 16th of June 1841, and numbered 6,405, fbr the sum of 1,0001., with interest, to de fraud her Majesty the Queen. In a second count you are charged with feloniously uttering and putting off a like Exchequer bill. In other counts you are charged in a like manner with intent to defraud Thomas Spring Baron Mont eagle, Comptroller-General of her ,Majesty's Exchequer; and +u. two other counts you : are charged in a like niantiL• with the intent to de fraud Francis Townly Ibbertson. Are you guilty or not guilty ?" to escape, and when suspicion had not in the slightest degree alighted upon me, I, unasked, made to the respectable Solicitor of the Trea sury the most distinct confession that I was the sole official author of the mischief, and in- T.

Several witnesses were then examined for the purpose of showing that Payboddy bad at different times pur chased hcep and cattle in Smithfield, and paid for them with noses, the produce of the two forged cheques cashed by Snot's bank in August and September. Among these was John Bates, a slaughterman, at the Upper Slaughter-house, Clare-market. Bates being called into the witness. box, appeared in his regular professional toggery, covered with grease and dirt ; his hair cut short, a la Laurie, with underneath it one of those faces which George Cruikshank alone could limn.

The Member of the Upper House then withdrew amidst what the French would call the " greatest ,hilarity," in which the Learned Judge joined. Mr. C. PILILLIPS addressed the Jury for the prisoner Payboddy, and complained that the deposition of Wes ton had not been returned from Bow- street, and contended that there was no proof whatever that Payboddy had any. guilty knowledge of the uttering and forging of the cheque, which was the object of the present inquiry.

FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary._ one perceives my present situation to be, I can declare, that, whatever may await me, the horror cannot equal what I have endured during the years of anticipation of the discovery of my guilt. My Lord, I await your Lordship's sentence in a spirit of respectful submission, and repeat that I know my crime has been great, but I also feel assured that in the execution of your high functions, and in the judicial censure of my offences, your Lordship will never be un mindful that mercy is the best attendant upon justice, and that while the best of men need to cry aloud for mercy, at Heaven's bar, it should not be forgotten in the administration of justice upon earth." The prisoner appeared to be deeply affected at several parts of the address, more particularly when he alluded to his family, and the disgrace he had entailed upon those who were near and dear to him. When he had concluded, he leaned heavily against the bar, with his head hanging down, as if unable to support himself. ---- THE RED-CROSS KNIGHTS,: THEIR EXPLOITS, AND THEIR MISFORTUNES.

" The editor has deserved well of his country and of the church of God for his present undertaking." " A very high meed of praise is due to the pious and bene volent editor for having, at the expense of a large sacrifice of money as well as of time, accomplished an undertaking to which hitherto only the exertions of an episcopal bench, and the ex penditure of national funds have been deemed adequate." " Sacred regard has been paid to the moulds of thought and expression which our venerable translators had used." " A multitude of the emendations are admirable, and while they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they strikingly tend to elucidate the truths and facts of the sacred oracles." . . . -.--.--. " The editor has impaired no doctrine of the Gospel ; has ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no vio lence to the evangelical spirit of the inspired oracles. In not a few instances he has shed light on the sacred text by placing it in a clearer point of view ; while by better renderings he has removed many contradictions and indelicacies out of the way of the English reader."

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been.exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extentied,aed clear,deta.il of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice.

THREE LIVES LOST BY THE BREAKING OF 'ICE.—A melancholy accident happened at Graham stone, Falkirk, on Friday, on one of the Carron dams. A number of children were sliding, when the ice gave way, and two of them were drowned. Some say a third went down, and, to add to the catastrophe, two men (father and son) went to theft . ..rescue, when, lamentable to relate, the son sunk and was drowned.—Scottish Guardian. The prisoner, in a firm voice, said, 46 My Lord, I plead Guilty." Mr. Baron PARKE then directed the Clerk of the Arraigns to call the prisoner up for judgment. Mr. Clarke—" Edward Beaumont Smith, you stand convicted, upon your own confession, of forgery. Have you anything to say why the Court should not give you judgment according to law V' The prisoner then read the following address in a low tone of voice, and apparently under feelings of great agony : " I pray your Lordship's indulgence while I offer a few words to your consideration before you discharge the duty which my conduct has imposed upon you, that of passing sentence upon me. I would have received that sentence in re spectful silence, and have thereby shortened the period of my painful exposure as a public crimi nal at this bar, and would have returned in peni tence to my cell, did I not feel it that I owe it to public justice, to the innocent persons whom my conduct may have placed in circumstances of suspicion, and also to myself, to say a few words. The crime I have committed is great. Ido not attempt to excuse, or to extenuate it; but it will not be forgotten that I have submitted myself to meet and exclu sively to bear all the consequences of that crime, and I have not sought to screen myself by the addition of duplicity or meanness, and I respect fully implore the Court not to think that I do not feel all the weight and enormity of the offence itself; because I humbly call its attention to circumstances which are calculated to show . that I have not become altogether de based in my feelings and principles. Pecuniary difficulty, arising from misplaced confidence, and unconnected with discredit, and of Nery limited extent, not exceeding a few hundred pounds, although beyond my means to.meet, first exposed me to the suggestions of those who tempted. me to obtain a temporary re lief by the fraudulent fabrication of Exche quer bills, to be pledged for a short time, and then to be redeemed and cancelled for ever. I yielded to the temptation, but without obtaiaing the promised relief, and once com mitted, I became in the power of the tempter, and my retreat has been prevented. Allured and beguiled by a plausibility, power, and talent which I could not resist, I became entangled be yond escape, and while Exchequer bills were obtained from me to an enormous extent, I never derived benefit even to the small extent neces sary to relieve me from my comparatively trifling embarrassments, and I am at this moment in debt for money actually borrowed from sources unconnected with Exchequer bills to pay off my original incumbrances. A sordid or avarici ous motive has never influenced me, and I have wio lave used nlay been sacrificed to th e o bj ects o f o thers. What ever thesehaveExchequer bills, no been carried on by those speculations profit, or even account e ith e r of moneys raised, or spec t ulations entered into, or of the losses or gains which have resulted, have ever reached me, and' never was intended to do so. Year after year bills have been wrung from me, uncle pretence of redeeming and cancelling those out standing, in order to prevent discovery, and afterwards, by the repeated misapplication of them, the necessity was created for more to ac complish the original purpose; and thus the fright ful issue which has taken place was occasioned. If those yet unstained by guilt could appreciate the horrors which attend a course of crime, no sentence of the law would be . necessary to warn and deter them from entering upon it. I am born of a family upon which disgrace never lighted till now; educated in principles of inte grity and honour, I have lived respected, and, I believe, esteemed ; and I have enjoyed the con fidence of many highly honourable persons. I am now, by my own confession, a guilty crimi nal, exposed and trembling at the bar of justice, and shrinking with agony from the gaze of my former friends. If any there are who are dis posed to think my principles and education aggravate my crime, let them forbear their cen sure till they have also estimated by how much their deepen my condition, and aggravate my . punishment. I have lived for years in . the cer tain anticipation of this dreadful hour, andknow ing that it was certain to come, except, overborne by my own feelings, I should escape it by a still greater crime or by flight, uncertain how soon the period of detection would occur, every day, and almost every hour, has awakened some alarm lest it should have arrived, and that my character, station, and comfort were destroyed for ever. My Lord, during the time that has past I have had the guilty means and strong temptation to use Exche quer bills, to raise sufficient money to enable me to fly, and thereby escape my present disgrace. But however the word honour may be supposed to be prostituted by my using it, I yet declare that I havebeen restrained froutflying, or raising money for such a purpose, because I knew that in my absence suspicion would arise that others had been either negligently or crimi nally instrumental in the commission of the fraud, and that public alarm would be the consequence to a greater extent than the evil justified. During the long period of my distress, therefore, although I was overcome, and induced to continue the commission of my offences to avoid meeting immediate disgrace, and forbore.to make a full disclosure of my previous conduct, which I had often desired to do; I yet always resolved that whenever the time of discovery should come that I would remain and instantly avow myself as the solely guilty official person, and make the best reparation in my power, by preventing un necessary alarm and agitation to the public, and that I would bear, with whatever pain and remorse, the whole consequence of my guilt, and not permit the innocent and honourable persons in office, whether higla or low, to be exposed to unjust suspicion. However guilty, therefore, I yet ami voluntarily a prisoner, and destitute of means, having acted influencege oneLlfecehlai4ra'g much more con cter than -are the u s o n n d a e n r t t , h ir e it hmy Mr. Baron PARKE said—" The course you have pursued on this occasion, in publicly acknowledging yourself guilty of the hei nous offences imputed to you, and which I learn, from the depositions and from yourself; have been carried on for a long series of years back, leaves to me only the duty of an nouncing to you the punishment which the law assigns to your offence. It is a painful duty to me, but it would have been a much more painful one had I to pronounce that punishment which was assigned to it a few years ago; because I should have had to announce to you, notwith standing all that you have said in the way of palliation, that your life must be forfeited to the law, and that you should perish by an ignominious death on the scaffold. The huma nity of the law now prevents that, and leaves you time for repentance. But notwithstanding what you have said, and the contrition you have expressed, you must have been aware of the tre mendous consequences of the crime of which you have acknowledged yourself guilty, and which it is now my duty to pronounce upon you. That to me is a painful duty to discharge, be cause I am sorry to pronounce it upon a person who has filled a situation of trust and confi dence, who has walked in the station of a gentleman, and who belongs to a family of the highest honour and respectability, and whose name is illustrious in the naval an nals of this country. It is painful for me to pronounce the sentence of the law upon you ; but, looking at the consequences of your crime and the deep injury it has inflicted upon so ciety, I can do no less than to pass upon you the severest sentence which the law allows the Court to pronounce, namely, that of trans portation for life. You have done yourself no discredit by the course you have pursued—you have done yourself no harm; and I trust that those who may hear the statement that has fallen from your lips to-day, may take warning, and see what fatal consequences are the result of a single deviation from the princi ples of honour and integrity. It is im possible not to feel for you as a man ; but as a magistrate it is my duty to censure in the strongest language I can the wicked crime you have committed, which has entailed ruin upon hundreds of individuals, and loss to many of their whole fortune, all in consequence of the want of principle you have shown. Under these circumstances, I should be wanting in my duty if I held out to you the least hope that the severest sentence of the law will not be carried into effect—a sentence which, as you yourself have said, consigns you to punishment for life bereft of all that renders life desirable. By law, for the rest of your existence, you will be a slave in a foreign laud, and condemned to hard labour. The sentence of the Court upon you, Edward Beaumont Smith, is, that for this offence you be transported beyond the seas for the term of your natural life." tlller.

There was another count, charging the intent to be to defraud Mr. R. Williams. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Chambers conducted the case for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : Mr. Charles Ward—l am clerk in the banking house of Sir John Paul, Snow, and Co. On the 9th of. October last, the cheque produced (for 2001.) was presented for payment by the prisoner Bigg. While the clerks were getting the notes 1 took the cheque into Sir John Paul's room. I returned; and desired the pri soner to go into Sir John's room. Shortly afterwards I saw the prisoner running to the door, and heard Sir John call out "Stop him." The prisoner was stopped, taken back to Sir John Paul's room, and a constable was sent for. The cheque produced for 100/., dated the 7th of August, 1841, was paid by me. This cheque, as well as the other purports to be signed by Mr. Williams. (The witness then, from the books of the bank, read a description of the notes given in change for the cheques of the 7th August.) I also cashed a cheque dated 17th September, .purporting to be signed by Mr. Williams. (Witness described the notes given in change.) I have no recollection of the persen of the man to whom I paid either of those cheques. Sir John Dean Paul, who gave his evidence from the Bench, remembered receiving a communication from last witness, relative to a 2001. cheque. Bigg came into his own room, and witness said to him you are my prisoner for forgery. Bigg said he was innocent, and expressed his wonder at witness daring to accuse him. Witness said he should send for Mr. Wil liams, who would prove that it was a forgery. Bigg replied " You need not do that, Mr. Williams is out of town." Witness said, " If so, how came he to sign the cheque to- day. You convict yourself." Bigg attempted to run away, but was stopped and given into custody. Mr. R. V. W. Williams had an accouNt at the bank. Mr. Robert V. W. Williams—l am an attorney. My. offices are in the Temple. The prisoners were in my employment as writing clerks for about a year and a half. Paybody had 18s. a week, and Bigg 15s a week. I drew cheques on Snow's Bank from a cheque-book, which I kept in a drawer of my desk in my office locked up. I noticed that the cheque-book had become unsown. Payboddy quitted in May, and Bigg in March of the present year. The signatures to the three cheques produced are all forgeries. It is a good imitation of my signature. Thomas Whitehead, policeman, took Biggs into cus tody on the 9th of October. In searching him a ten pound note was found on him.—(The note was pro duced, and was one of those described by the clerk.) Four blank cheques of a similar sort were also found upon Bigg. George Weston, policeman, was on duty at the sta tion-house when Bigg was brought there. Bigg said to Mr. Williams's clerk that Payboddy was at the bottom of it all, and that they would find him down by the church, dressed in a butcher's dress. "Witness went to St. Cle ment's Church, about 30 yards from the bank, but did not find anybody there. Witness went to Gooch-street, Tottenham Court-road, and found him standing outside a butcher's shop, which was his own. He took him into custody. Witness told him what for. He said "I know all about it." Witness then told him he must go with him. On 'the way to the station-house, witnesss said, " I expected to find you down by the church." prisoner said,, " Who told you I was there ? To tell you the truth, I was there." Bigg called on me this afternoon, and asked me to go for a walk with him I went as far as the church, and waited outside, while Bigg went into the 'bank. I always considered Bigg to be a man of property." Witness understood him to say that a woman, who was talking to him when he was taken into custody, had told him all about it. . •• ; i 13y the COURT—Payboddy was first of all allowed to The Grand Jury were dismissed on Friday night. No bill had been presented to them against Ernest Rapallo. CHARGE OF ARSON.—A fair-haired, interesting-look ing child, apparently net more than twelve years of age, named Eiizabeth Cope, was placed at the bar, charged with wilfully setting fire to a dwelling-house in the pa rish of Chelsea. It appeared that the prisoner had for some years been an inmate of the Hans Town Charity School, in the pa rish of Chelsea, and that a short time since one of the beds at that establishment had been set fire to, but the flames had been extinguished before they had communi cated to the room, and that no part of the house itself had ever been actnally on fire. Mr. CLARKSON for the prisoner took an objection, that as the charge was for setting fire to the dwelling-house, and as it was proved by the prosecution that the house was never actually on fire, the case must fall to the ground. Mr. Baron PARKE thought the objection good, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON said the reason given by the child for doing as she had done was, that she had been at the school a long time, and wished to get away. The ladies of the establishment were, he understood, extremely de sirous that the child should not be exposed to temptation through want of proper care being taken of her, and he had to state that her uncle, the brother of her deceased father, was in Court, and was anxious to have the child delivered up to him, and he would take every care of her. Mr. Baron PARKE directed she should be placed under the care of her uncle, and she was delivered up to him accordingly. Before the case of Smith was proceeded with on Saturday, Mr. Clarkson made an application on behalf of a man named Croft, charged with rape, and who had only been committed on Friday, that his trial might be postponed to next Session. It was sworn that there were material witnesses to be subpoenaed, whose names and addresses had yet to be learned, and whose attendance this Session , therefore, could not be obtained. The Court granted the application. • • .A'E W COURT. William Smith, 21, a painter, and Mary Davis, 22, were indicted for feloniously stealing six curtains, two candlesticks, two sheets, and other. articles, of the value of 71., the property of Mary Ann Lewis, in her dwell ing-house. The facts of this case have recently been before the public, when it was heard at Marlborough-street police. The robbery was alleged to have been committed •in a brothel kept by the prosecutrix. Mr. Do.orE defended the prisoners, who were 'indicted upon two several charges of felony. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. The indictment then charged the male prisoner that he, in the month of January, 1837, was convicted of the crime of clipping and coining, who was then sentenced to seven years' transportation. This sentence was com muted to a term of imprisonment.—Sentence Deferred. This trial occupied the whole of the morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Captain Rose, a military gentlemen, appeared to corn- plain of a grievance for which he had in vain sought redress. He engaged a passage for himself and his family list June, in the North Star steamer, from Lon- don to Invergordon (about thirty miles north of Inver ness), for which he was compelled to pay the fares upon engaging the berths. On their way down the person who had charge of her, contrived to run her on a rock off the small fishing village of Johnshaven, in Forfarshire. There,was a fog at the time, but little, if any, wind. The fog, however, was not so dense but that the appli cant could distinguish the houses on shore, though it was night. The first land they should have made was Peterhead, so that they could not have been less than thirty miles out of their course. The passengers and goods were landed, the latter in a very damaged state, and most of applicant's clothes were completely de stroyed by the salt water. From Johnshaven a por tion of the passengers were conveyed in a steam tug to Aberdeen, where they were left to shift for themselves. Upon applying to the agent at Aberdeen, and request ing to be forwarded to his destination, applicant was treated with the greatest incivility, and could obtain no redress. He was compelled to remain two nights at the Aberdeen Hotel with his family, as the coaches were full out and inside for two days, and he had then to pay for the journey thence to Invergordon, a distance of about 140 miles. - On his return to London last week, he took the receipt for the money he had paid to the office at which he had paid it in the Strand, requesting that it might be given back to him, as the contract had not been performed ; but he was referred by the parties there to Yr. Edward Wright, the agent of lore's wharf, who re ferred him again terMessrs. Duffus and Co., the proprie tors of the vessel in Aberdeen. He considered it to be useless for him to apply in that quarter, as he was refused there on his personal application in June. He, therefore, considered it to be his duty to make the matter public through the Lord Mayor. He perceived that the vessel was advertised to commence running between London and Inverness the first week in March, and he suggested that passengers should refuse any payment whatev er unti l landed at their destinations. No explanation had been given by the proprietors of the disaster which h a d oc curred. The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt that publicity would be given to the coniplaint, and in all probability the Directors would come forward upon the occasion. His Lordship also intimated to Captain Rose that he could obtain a remedy in a Court of Law. BOW-STREET. Louisa Stanfield was charged with stealing a quantity of plate, the property of.J. M'Donald, Es q ., a b arrister, resudir ° -, in Garden - court , Temple , under the foll ow i ng circumstances : The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was his laun dress, and that in July last he went out of town, leaving her in charge of his chambers; he returned to town about three weeks since, and, while at dinner, he observed that there was not so much plate on the table as usual. This excited his suspicion, and induced him to examine his plate chest, the key of which had been in the prisoner's possession during his absence from town, and on doing so he found it was nearly empty. In answer to inquiries he made of the prisoner, she replied that she had taken it home to clean, but would bring it back again on the fel lowing day. On Wednesday he again examined the plate chest, when every thing appeared to be all right, with this exception, that he missed two or three silver forks, and which the prisoner said she had left at home, but would go and fetch them. Before she went out for that purpose she requested that witness would advance her 5/. on account of her wages, but which, however, he refused to do. She then went away, but shortly afterwards returned with two of the forks, and on re-counting the articles of plate witness found that only o n e f or k was missing, but beforete he clos e d t h e c h est he was i n d uce d todexa mincone of h forks, and on d o i ng so f oun d th a t it was made o f imita. other articles tion silver.

He had access to prosecutor's chambers, being employed t here to clean his shoes, and from infor mation witness had received, lie expected to bring im portant evidence against him on a future day. The pri• soner was remanded. I;WibOROUGH-STREET. An elderly gentleman of fortune, who gave the name of Wiley, 23, Holles-street, wa,s charged with having as saulted a youngnaannamed Davidson, The defendant was tell you. • The complainant declared that he had not even looked at ire defendant, to his knowledge. The monomania of th e d e cemdant consists in the belief that strangers whom. h e mee t; in the street are making faces at him. Mr. HARDWre: fined the prisoner 51., or two months' imprisonment. The defendant, who only heard the lat ter part of the sentence, Liemediately said, " lam ready to go to prison, lead the way. The fine having been mentioned, and the question put if he chose to pay it, the defendant answered. " Certainly," and pulled out a 101. note. Having received the change, office, he left the exclaiming " I won't be mocked, ni be if I do ; things are come to a pretty pass?' HATTON-GARDEN. . , John Toomay, an ex-policeman, of the B dirisivn, was charged with stealing property to the amount of 1004 under very extraordinary circumstances. It appetlred from the evidence that the prisoner had been in the wee ploy of Mr. 'Edward Wilkins, wholesale grocer and cone fectioner, of St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell, and in re short space of time he had removed from his master's premises upwards of five tons weight of grocery, consist ing of sugar, plums, currants, rice, cinnamon, nutmegs, and every other description of grocery ; besides a great quantity of pickles and sauces. The discover, - of this extensive depredation took place as follows :—On Friday evening the accused was observed to conceal upon his person a pound and a half of dried fruit, and when about to leave off work, he was q uestioned as to whether he had anything upon him ; he admitted th.'tt he had, and begged for mercy, saying it was the first; time he had committed any depredation. The prosecutor was inclined to believe that it was his first offence, and to let him off, but, upon reflection, he thought it a duty he owed to himself, and in fact to his other servants, to make a further investigation, and heave him over to Inspector Penny, of the G division, who, after locking him up, proceeded to the prisoner's house, where he found the immense quantity of property already mentioned. Me. Penny also found in the place aletter written by,the prisoner to his sister, wherein he states his intention to set up in business. Mr. GrtzENwooD—Well he might think of setting up in business. Why he has property enough to stock half a dozen shops. _— Inspector Penny said the stolen goOs Ved a very large cart, and it required two horses to draw the weight. Mr. GrnEuxwoOD—Did the prisoner say anything ? Insp,:cfor Penny—At first he said that I sloald not fi n d an 7 property at his house; but when he heard that I had obtainej the quantity enumerated, he said he bad taken it for a Chrietmee pudding.—(Laughter.) Mr. GREENWOOD (0 the prosecutor)—How do you suppose he got the property off ours premises ? Prose cutor—Through a private entiance t the back of my warehouse. Mr. GREENWOOD—Have you never missed property ? Prosecutor—No, my stock is so very extensive, it would be next to an impossibility. Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Have you a wish to say anything in your defence? Prisoner—Not at present.—lle was fully committed to Newgate. HATTON-GARDEN. Thomas Lawrence, formerly headwaiter to the Pier Hotel, Gravesend, was brought before Mr. Greenwood, in the custody of Robert Rambling, a City policeman, No. 539, and placed at the feloe's bar, charged by Tho mas Reynolds James, a one-armeel men, lowing extraordinary circumstances :-- under the fol- The prisoner, who was apprehended iti the City, was taken before the ,Lord Mayor, at the lfaelsion-house, who referred the case to this Court for examination. It may be recollected, that, about two years ago, a plate robbery was committed at the Pier Hotel, Grave: end, whilst the prisoner was engaged there as e,ead-waieer. Subsequently a man, named Rayner, a jeweller, was apprehended, under very suspicious circum stances, with the property in his possessfOn, by George Collier, a' constable of the E division, who has been since dismissed from the force for keis conduct. Rayner was fully committed for trial upon the evidence of the prisoner and Collier, who at that time was considered to be an indefatigable, intelligent, and honest officer, and the prisoner Rayner, being tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour in the House of Cor rection. Whilst in prison, however, lie was informed by one of the prisoners that he had been concerned with James in concocting plans for the purpose of entrapping innocent persons. and charging them with felonies and other circumstances, 'which led him to be satisfied that he had been the victim of James and Collier, the latter of whom he caused to be apprehended and brought to this Court, and charged before Mr. Bingham, who sat for Mr. Greenwood. On that occasion, a poor simple boy, named Miekle, who had been (en trapped, and convicted at the Old Bailey, attended and stated cireumstancee, to show that a system had been carried on similar to the "blood money system" adopted. by Brock, Pelham, and Vaughan, which excited so much. interest many years ago. James, Rarer, and Mickle being attainted witnesses. Collier was discharged. On. that cccasion it was alleged that the prisoner Lawrence was connected with the robbery at the Pier Hotel, and he was apprehended on the charge of James, who, being sworn, stated that he was formerly a harness maker, but having lost the use of his arm, he now got his living by making horses' nose bags. George Collier, an ex-con stable of the E division, was charged at this . Court on the 22d of January, 1840, with having received four silver table spoons and two silver forks, the property of Mr. Cornet, the proprietor of the Pier Hotel, Gravesend, knowing them to be stolen, when he was discharged. Mr. GREENWOOD asked whether the circumstances of the case could be explained to hint by anybody? The Chief Clerk said that a man of respectable ap pearance, an apparent traveller, entered the Pier Hotel and ordered dinner, and whilst it was preparing he went out to take a walk. The table was laid out with the ar eicles of plate which were subsequently stolen. The pri soner, it appeared, afterwards came to London, and some letters passed between him and Collier, which came under the notice of James, who was concerned with Collier in. the apprehension and conviction of a man named Rayner, who purchased the property stolen. Mr. GREENWOOD inquired whether Collier was not the same person who was suspected at this Court with dog stealing, when he cried like a child. He was answered in the affirmative, and informed that be was a stout big-headed man, who was always charging persons with robbery, and he was thought so clever and active, that he was employed without uniform to trace and apprehend offenders. He was now an inspector upon the Brighton Railway, which situation he procured through the influence of the Duke of Rutland's butler. Mr. GREENWOOD expressed his astonishment. James cross-examined—l gave Collier into custody. On the 22d or 28th of February, 1840. I went to Gravesend by Collier's orders. When I landed on the pier, I saw the prisoner Lawrence, who beckoned to me, and when I got up to him he turned his back to me, and held both his hands behind him, and gave me a card, which stated that I was to go to Mrs Up:on's, at the Sun public-house, New-road, Gravesend. Mr. GREENWOOD—I caution you, that you need not say anything to criminate yourself. James—fcome here to tell the truth and if I do crimi nate myself, I can't help it.

I did so, and he returned in half an hour, when he asked me f or a handkerchief, up a bundle, and ordered me to leave Gravesend by the two o'clock steam ve Collier. ssel for London, and deliver it to By Mr. GREENWOOD.--I met the prisoner casually. He called on me five. months ago, in consequence of Collier's apprehe • nsion and examination at this Court appe g nin the newspapers. I told Sergeant Bren nan,of G division, th a t I b e li eve d L a wrence lived at Gravesend. I met him this morning in Thames-street, and gave him into custody. Had the curiosity to look in the bu n dl e w h en I got on b oar d t h e s t e am-vessel, and found it to contain four silver tablespoons and two silver f orks, marked with a small cross. I took them to Col lier's house, in Brighton-street, St. Pancras . Went with him t o a public-house in Rathbone-place, where Collier gave me one of the spoons, and told me to take it to Rayner's, in Crown-street, Soho, to ask him if he -purchased such articles. He said he did, and he pur chased the property. He (Rayner) was afterwards taken into custody by Collier, and brought to this Court. Hambling, 539, City officer, stated that James, and a man named O'Keefe. called and told him that they wanted him to be on the watch to take the prisoner into custody, and on Friday James gave him into custody in Thames-street ; he was quite unconcerned, and walked quietly to the station-house. James here said that if his evidence was suspected, other respectable witnesses could be brought forward t o confirm him, if the prisoner were remanded. It was here stated that a regular plan had been con cocted by James and Collier for the purpose of entrap ping parties. Collier did it for his own profit, and ho getting for himself the credit of being a valuable officer Several persons had been transported upon the evidence brought forward by them. This precious scamp then told a long cock-and-bull story, tending to implicate the prisoner, but which no ono seemed to credit. GREENWOOD said, under the circumstances, he did not wish to send him to prison, but he would require responsible bail for his appearance. The solicitor's clerk said that the prisoner w respec table, and there was no doubt but he wouldat tend as his own recognisance. His father was _ upon b William Curtis. butler to Sir The prisoner said he had a wife and three children.
