THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A well-dressed middle-aged man, named William Allen,
• was charged with having obtained numerous sums of money,
by (also and fraudulent representations.
t Mr. Thomas Martin, formerly the proprietor of a beers
shop in the Waterloo-road, stated that about six months
since, he was introduced to the prisoner, who represented
einnelf as a debt collector, and having at the time a con-
' I sidera:ele number of outstanding amounts, he furnished a
' list of them to the prisoner, and direeted him to take
' proper steps fur obtaining their liquidation. In a few days
the prisoner again called upon bun, and having Intimated
that ho found it necessary in every instance to adept eo
ercive measures fur the recovery of the debts, witness fur-
nished him with the necessary amount to obtain summonsee
against the parties in the County Court. After a short
interval the prisoner paid hint another visit, and said that
he had never heard of such a refractory set of debtors,
not one of whom had paid the slightest regard to the
mandates of the court ; and he, therefore, required more
money to enable him to take out judgment summonses
against them. Witness accordingly furnished him with a
further advance for that purpose, but 'wither saw nor
heard anything more of him until the preceding day, when
he accidentally met him in the street, and gave him into
custody. Ile had since ascertained that the prisoner had
not only applied the above sums to his own purposes, but
had also received and misappropriated a portion of the
' debts he had been instructed to collect.
It having been intimated by the police that they had rea-
' son to believe tweeted other charges would be substantiated
against him if the fact of his apprehension obtained publi-
city, the prisoner was remanded until Wednesday next.

Stowell, who stands charged with another, whom he em-
ployed as a witness, with having conspired to practise ex-
tortion upon the proprietors of public places, by falsely ac- '
cueing them of offences under a highly penal statute. The
subordinate culprit, the witness, was apprehended last
week, and taken before the magistrate at the Lambeth
Police Court, when ho unblushingly avowed his own guilt,
' and made a full couresaion of perjuries which he hail com-
mitted in aid of the conspiracy.
A certificate was now produced from the Central Crimi-
oal Court of finding of the indictment on the prosecution
in' Hubert Kennet against Thomas Stowell, for a misde-
nl(.ollo%lll%
