It will be highly salisfae:lory to the Magisira,es and the Public, if any person has sold or lost a pin-maul previoua to rttc bon 0)1(1 catastrophe;:immediately.to give tufot mation. A' Lascar and a woman were brought up for an Investigation, on kcharge of being concerned in an affray . on Tuesday night in Angel-gardens, near Utchti Highway. From the ' . evidence aglinst the ,prisoners it appeared, that on Tuesday night, a par ty of . Lasc•irs :were seeking for house of ill fame in the neighbourhood. In their progress they at tempted to "enter . into a lodging-house ; t hey • were ordered to depart, instead of which the Lascars broke open the door, when opposition ensue-ht. In the scull!, a poor man, who was sitting by the fire, received some dreadful blows froin a stati, and the prisoner severely wounded bim in the head with a . knife or dills. An alarm being given, the Lascars retreated, and after a Log chase, the pri soner was secured, in company with the woman. • Several Witnesses were examined, whose eiidence proved the identity of the prisoner, and the Ma gistrates comMitted him and the wotrian for a fur ;her examination, until . the fate of the man was known. Bow-STREET..—FOdGED SI'AMPS.-11 has been far some time past suspeled, by the Commissioners of the giant) Office, hat forged stalaps were in cir culation, particularly on patent and quack medi cines. Wiih a view to disc6ver 'he troth of this suspicion, Mr. Franee; 'the Solicitor to the Stamp Office, called at a Medicine shop, near the Royal Exchange, and purchas-d a box of Dr. Jehb's On examining the sunno on The box, he discovered it to be a forgery.• fir inquired of the woman where she got the stamp, she rrtplid, The had 'it with a number of other boxes of the same kind of pills, ot, Mr. Celliewt, who also kept a medicine shop. Mr. France, being satisfied that the woman gave a (air account as to hew she became posseis ed of the counterfeit stamps, he obtained a war , rant to search Mr. Collicott's house, and to ,prehend him. Vickery went to execute the warrant ; he was informed by' Mrs. Collicutt that bee husband was ow of town. He told her he had a warrant to search for forged stamps. A servant girl accom panied him into a back room, and into other parts, to search for them. It then becoming tat her dark, he . requested to have a candle, and the girl went down stair; to get him one; she • 'Wcts absent about damutes, and returned without a candle, but asked her mistress whether she.stmuld get a . light. Tht,s being aa unexpected ciic.:rustance, together, with her not having an apron on, that she; had when sim -, went tar the candle, Vickery followed her, suspea.: ing there, was something wrong in their The .Officer went into a Dad( shop, .and descended by a ladder from over apinit the wall of tat sho:t, but could not find any thing there of a sus,;:ci ,, us nature. He then went d wn stairs,.and in a clo.et in the front area, where coals were lopt, he found a. large qtiawity of forged stamps tied up the. apron which the servant girl had 'on when h first entered the house ; in consequence of this di-co. . very, he had no doubt that ‘ When she first went down stairs, under pretence al ting a light al candle, that she concealed the forged stdmps in the coal . cellar, and in consequence took her into custody: She was, however, not detained long, a respectable gentleman undertaking for her appearance at a fu ture day. . - It being ascertained that Mr. C. was travelling on his business about Bath and Bristol, Vickery and 'Lavender were dispatched to apprehend him, and. they 'found him at Pill, near Bristol, at a public , house, and, on searching his luggage, they found' two bottles of Lotion, with forged stamps, of the same description as 'Mae fowl in his house : he offered the Officers a tee to destroy them, which They refined. The Officers brought him to town, and he has undergone several examinations, and a final one on Tuesdayevening. Maria King has been admitted a witness,, frorn whose evidence it appears, that the vine description o f stam ps as were lound by ,the Officers were tiled on the medicines sold in the shop ; she knew. they were bad, her master having told her so, and direct ed her to cot out the middle part of the stamps when she put them , on the medicines, using the sides only of 'the forged stamps, taking out of the centre of them Inc words " Bristol," and putting the seal in the place, which he either.did himself, or she, by his direetion. She knew that sealed stamps of that.description were sent out with different medicines to Wood-and Cnningh3m, Prin ters, at Bath, as she assi.ited in doing them up. The prisoner was committed for trial. -John Frince was charged with fratdulently obtain ing a variety of articles, under a' .pretence that be was in the employ of Mr. Hamlet, the silver. smith and jeweller, in Prince's=street, Leicester square. It appeared, that he went to Mr. Lester, in -Kirby ereei, Ilatton-Garden; and obtained twti frames and glasc. , s, under a pretence than they wtile for Mr,•l-Tandet..— , Mr. Lester "as from !,(itni., soot Mrs. ' Lester having heard her husband often eui , he had frequently applied tq Mr. Hatniet Orders, had no d'ontat btu he wished to haVe laird 'Air a cus toner, she very readily gave the articles 'pi the pri saner ; who also obtained same articles o!'jewellei y tram Messrs. Woodward .and Barrow, in Bartlett's buildings, under the sat* false pretence. • • Mr. Stva', the assistadt to Mr. Hamlet, said, it was some years since the prisoner wa4 employed by them, and, did not send hitn for the above articles. Mr. Mama, the Sitting Magistrate, lamented to . . see the prisoner in h i s situation, as he had known him in much better days ; but he was sitting there to perform a public duty, and he must commit him for further examination, Several Pawnbrokers produced the articles which he lull obtained, and believed him to be the man who bad pleilged them. WHITECHAPRL. The two, Portuguese, Le Silvoe and Barnard .lovae, who were apprehended on Friday last, 'were brought to the above Office yesterday morning, . and rkamined near two boors, on suspicion of'being concerned in the late murders at Raiclitf-highway. • It appeared yesterdly, that Le Silvoe ald Bornard Jovoe were at the Artichoke public-house, near Mr. Mares, drinking at half-past. eleven o'clock, and that they ware seen by many of the inhabitants be tween the above time and a qu :her tielo , e twelve -;'• also that they were , seen near one O'clock in Old streets adjoining.
