THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Three well-dressed men, named John Gregory, 25 rem of
ago, George Watson, 42, and Henry Poster, 42, were
brought up before the Lord Mayor, charged with con-
spiring to defraud Carlo Andreone.
Sergeant Michael Heyde° a detective police officer, said
—A little after twelve o'cloOk to-day I saw the three pri-
soners and the prosecutor, Mr. Andreone, in • public-house
in Cannon-street, opposite St. Swithin's-lane. The prisoner
Watson came to the door twice while the others were
inside, and in about ton minuted time the prisoner Gregory
went out and spoke to the prosecutor, and after looking
about went in again. I spoke to Gregory, and told him
I had cautioned them before • that several complaints
bad been made by persons who 'had been defrauded of their
money of late by persona like him. He begged to be
allowed to go, and said be should Dever be found in the
City again. I desired him to show me what money he had
about him, which he did, and I then told him to go about
his business. At that moment I saw the other two prisoners,
Watson and Foster, standing at the door of the same
public-house. Gregory joined theni and they all three
went away together. Hiving ascertained from the prose-
cutor that an attempt had been made to induce him to part
with his money, I obtained assistance, and, taking all three
of them into custody, I had them conducted to the Bow-
lane police station.
The Lord Mayor—You knew them to be sharpen?
Haydon—Oh, yes. The charge against them (witness
went on to ?sy) was reed over to them at the station,
namely, conspiring to defraud Mr. Andreone of a certaiu
sum of looney. They made no answer to it. One only—
Foster—asked whether I or the prosecutor charged at the
static's'. I said I did. On Gregory, whom I took, I found
151. 10s. in gold, •W. Bank of England note, a gold eye-
glass, a gold watch, chain, and brequet key, a gold mourn.
ing ring, a gold ring with a stone, and a fancy gold ring.
On Watson I found a book containing ten playing cards,
obviously designed for the purpose for which such cards
are employed when found on persons like the prisoners. I
also found on him a list of subscriptions in aid of a person
named Kinghorn, who ts now undergoing a long term
of imprisonment, if not penal servitude, for practices
of the description to which the prisoners are addicted,
and it bears the names of a number of persons given to
similar practices. Among the list of donors wen:—The
Long, If. ; the Duke, 10s. ; Charley Hellman, Be. ; Andy,
ss. ; Jacob Haynes, 2s. 61. ; and the like. I know most
of the persons whose names are attached to the list.
- -

By the Lord Mayor—The cards found on Watson are not
marked. They don't require to be marked for the purpose
for which they are employed. On being searched 20f. in
gold was found upon IN aeon and 24!. 10s. in gold upon
Foster.
Crowe:endued by Mr. Lewis, the elder, who appeared
for the prisoners—l d.n't know bow many Kiughorns
there are in Loudon. I presume the Kinghnru at the head
of the subscription list found on Watson is the man who is
in prison, from the list being found on ono of thu prisoners'
and from its bearing the nature of persons of such character.
I did not hear any converuitiou among them, but I knew
they were conspiring from what the prosecutor told me and
from what Gregory

Carlo Andre;ne, a foreigner, about 50 years of age, ro-
actably dressed, who spoke English, but not well, deposed
that he was *toying at Bailey's hotel, in Paternoaterrow.
He met the prisoner Gregory that (Monday) morning about
12 o'clock near London-bridge, who asked him the way to
some street, Wolin that be was a stranger. Witmer said
be wee a stranger too, (rum America. Gregory then asked
him to give him the address of some hotel in France, as he
was about to leave London for the Continent. Witness
rid he would do so, sod the prisoner took him away to
apublic-bouse in the neighbourhood to write the address.
They went into a room for that purpose, and, atter they bad
