span the Wargo of having stolen railway shares and other
valuable securities, the property of Mr. Roper, his em-
ployer, was subsequently charged with having stolen a
watch from a perms by whom he had bean kindly treated.
The assistant to a pawnbroker said: Oa Thursday or Fri-
day last a person wham I believe to be the prisoner same to
oar shop, and offered for sale a ether watch and gald Albert
chain for 31. ba. I prodnee the watch. I do not speak
positively, but I believe the prisoner was the parson. He
gave the name of John Clarke, and the address of 18,Wood-
street.
Mr. W. T. Taunton, proprietor of the Blossoms lon,
Lawrence-lane, Cheapaide, said: Oa Saturday week the
prisoner came to my house, and knowing him I amid him
residence till Tuesday, on which day he took his departure.
After he had quitted the house I missed the watch and
chain produced from a nail is the her parlour. I saw it
safe at a quarter to sic o'clock in the evening, and he saw
me place it on the nail in the bar parlour. He left the
house at half-past sir, and I missed the watch at about half-
put ten, but there had been no one else in the bar parlour
except my own servant. I gave information of the robbery
to the police. The watch and chain are worth about 81.
The prisoner, upon being asked whether it was his wish
to say anything, replied I. the negative.
Committed for the larosny.
GUILDHALL.

Daniel Mitchell Doii;isorsandCoenso Williams Gordon,
who lively carried on business in Cousin-lane and Mincing-
lase, City, as ge I merchants and metal and colonial
brokers, arid at West Kim lane, Essex, as distillers, were
placed at the bar for examination, relative to certain charges
of fraud.
Sir Peter Laurie presided, and said—l have directed
this prosecution with regard to the frauds not connected
with the bankruptcy, from information I have received from
various merchants; but as they are not yet prepared with
their evidence, it is not my intention to take any I
examination today, but to remand the prisoners
for another week, when the City Solicitor will
use every means in his power to bring them
to judgment upon the matter of the false warrants ; and I
hope that all those who have been defrauded will come
forward and state clearly the nature of the frauds of which
they have been the victims.
The City Solicitor undertook to give notice of the eases
that would be opened at the next examination, and the pri•
ooners were then removed from the bar.

A fashionably dressed female, who nave at the station the
same of Mary Louisa Sawyer Si Vincent, sad her resi-
donee at 38, Tunbridge-street, New-road, was charged with
obtalniog goads and moseys by false pretences.
Kr. J. H. Preston, solicitor, of Southampton-buildings,
.old—Your worship, the prisoner, who represents herself as
eonnected with nearly all the families of rank in the king-
dom, has no doubt for some time been living on public
pleader, and on a future occasion I will prove that she is
connected with the gang of swindlers who lately were com-
mitted from one of the City police courts for obtaining a
large number of cattle by fraudulent means.
Mr. Frederick Sutton, of 14, Judd-street, linendraper,
said—Abeut a month since prisoner called on me, and after
some conversation, said—" I want some goods ; but the fact
is I am coming into a fortune in a certain time ; it will now
be soon settled, in fact. I have.B,oool. then, and you are
sure of your money, for lam a lady of my word, and I
would not for anything hat my noble friends and relations
ibield know I was compelled to ask for credit." Believing,
tees bar ladylike appearance that she was what she repro-
erMed herself, I trusted her with 60 yards of check silk and
other articles, to the amount of 171. 21.4 d.
Mr. Comic—The proceeding looks like a matter of debt.
Mr. Preston—But I wiU be able to prove that, imme-
diately after the goods were delivered, they were pledged by
the prisoner.
The following letter was thin put in :
" Saturday evening, June 9,1855.
"My dear Sir,—As you told me you had no particular
QM for your money until nest week, could you lend me,
until Tuesday, a IW. note. I paid away all yesterday to
avoid expenses, and, as I want it particularly, perhaps I
shall not be considered rude or encroaching in asking. I
send you an I 0 U for the same amount as yesterday, as I
find a stamp, unless for three months, is not required. If
you can send it by the bearer -you will oblige yours truly,
" M. L 8. ALLAN.

" 19, Mabledon-place, Barton-ereaceni.
Witness—On a Saturday after I entrusted her with the
goods, she called and said " I wish you would lead me five
pounds; my business has been settled at the beak, but my
solicitor will not let me have any of the money yet." I did
lend her the money she required, and other moneys, to the
amount of &W.
Prisoner—l am connected with some of the best families.
The prisoner here enumerated several admirals, lords,
Me., so that
The magistrate hesitated, and remarked to the solicitor,
u I am afraid you have hit one wrong patty to meet your
'barge."
Mr. Preston—Ho, your worship.
Prisoner—l was unfortunately ensnared into a marriage
with a married man, and I lett home to avoid my family.
Before Mr. Sutton left the goods I referred him to my
solicitor. Yr. Fisher, of 66, Burton- crescent.
Ms. lateen—l did apply to Mr. Fisher, who said he had
been neaducting affain for her, and that was why I left the
pmts.
Primeer—The fact is, a sister and myself were left 2,0001.
I mortgaged my portion with Mr. John Henry Valiance ;
but my solicitor. Mr. Wood, promised to be here to-day, at
two o'clock, and explain all.
Mr. Sutton—l pressed the prisoner for payment, finding
I was put off by various OICUSeI. I also went to 64,
Coleman-street, City. I saw Mr. Wood, and he told me
that although he conducted her business, he could not give
me any information as to her means.
Mr. Freston—l wish for a remand to a future occasion ;
and from the publicity this ease will get, I hope a series of
cams will come against the prisoner.
Mr. Corrit—But as the matter standr, 1 cannot see that
what the prisoner states may not be correct.
Mr Wood here entered the court, and both solicitors left
to consult on the proceedings. On their return Mr. Wood
said—l understand a remand is required, and I have se
objection to it, to further inquiries. The fact is, Mm, I
Allen—
Mr. Cords—Why, she gives a different name in the chugs
skeet.
Prisoner—The fact is, I assumed the name, so that my
family should not know that I disgraced them. I mortgaged
my property to Mr.Vallance, and he can my so, if you send for
Ma. My sister has since died, and left me the residence,
sad I was about to raise some money on it.
Mc Wood—The fact is, just before Mr. Sutton called on
me, Mrs. Allen engaged me to settle some debts of here. 1
agreed, and then 1 told the complainant that I would in-
quire, and see that he was paid.
Mr. Conia—The case has assumed a new feature, but in
remanding the prisoner I will accept bail in two securities
of 601., with twenty-four hours' notice.
I The prisoner, who wore a beautiful " Eugenie " bonnet
and veil, with flesh kid gloves, and parasol, was removed to
a all, and subsequently to the House of Detention.
