will, to the beton-mentioned prison, where he received, until
his departure to the Old Bailey to take his trial, the consoling
visits of the accused genies, who, on leaving him on such oc-
casions, tuned their interests upon and Tic imized the diffe-
rent tradesmen in the immediate district. In the course of

ordered ham, ale, and tobacco, with which they plertifully
regaled themselves, when the landlady, suddenly missing

had been opened by pick-lucks, and that a gold watch,

of a gentleman named WOowtan or M'Guire, and to urge
upon him the necemity of Offering a rperect for the discovery

stated that he was unable to enteruin the application until
he received a communication on the subject keno the magi,-
irate. before whom the case is in ciures of investigation.
Mr Ryder added, that the parish authorities were reluctant
to interfere with the police; and they, moreover, entertained
some difficulty whether any sum collected for the relief of the
poor could be legally offered aa a reward for the discovery of
the musing man.

but he would be most happy to attend to any suggestion the
parish authorities might offer.
