GUILDHALL.—ALLIMED SWINDLINO.—R. Harrison.
a partner in the firm of R. Harrison and Co., shipping
merchants, of No. 3. Finsbury-chambers, Bloomfield-street,
City, and J. Edmunds, who was represented first as a
porter and afterwards as a clerk in the above firm, were
charged with obtaining goods from various nadesnien under
false pretences.—The case against Edmunds was first
entered into.—Mr. J. Jenkins, trunkmaker, of 2, Liver-
pool-street Bishopedate, said, that on Monday morning the
prisoner Edmunds came to his shop, and produced a card
with the name of R. Harrison and Co., shipping merchants,
of Finsbury-chambers, saying that he had been sent by his
employers to choose a couple of portmanteaus for packing
cigars. He selected two, and told witness to take them to
the counting-house for Mr. Harrison, to see whether they
would suit. Witness took them to Finsbury-chambers, and,
being told that Mr. Harrison was not in, left them for
approval, and called again in the afternoon, when he saw the
prisoner Edmunds, who said the portmanteaus were packed
up with " plated goods," and sent to St. Katharine's Docks.
Witness observed that it was very strange he should have re-
they were for packing cigars, and that he suspected
=w:el sullen the premises, but wee assured they were not.
Edina& ledd him to make out a bill for them, which
whams estosed is de, tying that as they were obtained
under Mu peat mss, be was determined to have them back.
He Sid t pellesman learned that a man had conveyed
the trunks from the counting-house shortly after they had
been left. Witness and the policeman went to various
places, and at last found the man who had carried them
away, and while talking to him the prisoner and Mr. Har-
rier' paned, sad were given into custody. The portman.

in the counting-house, gave him the two portmanteau.,
directing him to go to the Rose and Crown-court until he

gether to the coffee-chop in Clifton-street, where Edmunds
requested to be allowed to leave the portmanteaus. The
prisoner paid witness 6d., and he afterwards west to the
Brown Bear, where he heard that then was a noise about
some swindlers living is Finsbury-chambers, upon which he
went and told the owners of the coffee-shop not to give up the
portntanteatu unless to a policeman.—T. Phillips, 128, said
that at the station Edmunds told him that it was not
. Harrison who told him to order the things, but one
of the partner/ at the same time handing a card to the
inspector, with the name of Fred. Chu. Hebert. In hi.
possession were found several duplicates, one being for a
Mimic stool, a second for a diamond, and a third for a ream
etpaper.—lcqector Martin said that a gentleman was pre-
sent who had supplied some paper, end moulikely that
=rationed was • part of it. There were a number of cares
against the prisoner and Harrison, and if a remand was
granted he had no doubt there would be fifty cases. The
prisoner at the station-house said that he always considered
Mr. Hebert as a partner, but Mr. Harrison declared he was
/ay his (Harrison's) clerk.—Mr. Buchanan, for the pri-
ssier, contended that the charge against Edmunds could not
he sustainedt because in his capacity of servant he had
obeyed the uutractions of persons who chose to represent
themselves as a firm, as he did not obtain them in his own
name, but merely selected the goods, and ordered them to be
mat.—Alderman Moon thought that the publiaty thus
given to the ease would have the effect of furthering the ends
of justice. He should remand the prisoner on this charge.
Harrison was charged with obtaining two elutes, value
61. 16.., by false pretences.—Mr. W. Greening, of Coleman-
street, looking-glass maker, stated that Edmunds called, and,
dog a card, said, that Mr. Harrison a isbed to have a
pier glue and mirror fitted in the counting-house ;
that if ha could send them round as soon as possible he
wooldnesive &cheque immediately for the amount. He took
Owe, awl Axed them up. He did not en Harrison. When
witness mad hr his money, Edmunds said that Mr. Harri-
son wee down at the docks, but that the cheque should be
sent by 4 o'clock. About 3 o'clock he called again, and saw
the clerk, • dark man, and Edmunds. On trying to look
and see if the glasses were in the inner tou=ting-house, the
key was turned in the door to prevent him. On Saturday
morning Mr. Harrison called and said he was well pleased
with the articles • but it being Saturday, and being pressed
with business, 'it would be a great convenience to
, let the money stand over until Monday. He did so, and
on Monday, ' all was not right, he went with a
policeman, and

Harrison and the prisoner were there, and offered them for

only lent him the money on the glasses.—Carroll affirmed
that it was a bond 'de sale—The policeman Phillips said
that when Harrison was taken, he said that the glasses were
not mold, ad that if the inspector would allow him to go
