ST. SIMON'S DAY ,AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS

ANNUAL TEA PARTY

.

The annual tea party in connection with the St. Simon's
Day and Sunday Schools, took, place at the Concert-hall,
last night. The Rev. J. R. Conor was.,in the chair, and
among those on the platform were-,-Rev., S. Minton, Rev.
R. V. Sheldon, Rev. Henry Marlen, Rev. Dr. Hume, Rev.
Joseph Bard.sley, Rev. J. D. Barry, and other gentlemen.
The room was elegantly decorated-with floviArs, banners,
and appropriate inscriptions, such as—" Church and State,''
"'the 'Army and Nalry;'-" The Love of Christ-eonstraineth
us," and others

Tea, coffee, and confectionary, were
served, the pupils of the 'school acting as very skilful a
graceful attendants.

The.Chairthan addressed the meeting at considerable
length, principally upon the prospects of the new schools
proposed to be built in connection with the St. Simon's
parish church. For this purpose, a sum of £3;000 would
be required, and as Net only £.500 had been raised towards
it. A society had been organised by a merchant of the
town, Mr. Torr, for the purpose of establishing schools in
districts where there was a want felt of those institutions.
(Rear, hear.) He (the chairman) had made
application to Mr. Torr for some aid towards these
schools, and Mr. Torr promised that he should have £lOOO
advanced to him as soon as the society was in working order.
They would get £lOOO from government, which would.
make £2500 towards the £3OOO, so that if they could get
'Mr: Torr's society into active operation, they would soon
" go a-head." The present schools, he stated, had worked
very well in the past year, and were now only £2O in debt,
,which sum, he felt no doubt, would bepaid off that night. The
chaitman aLso forcibly urged on his hearers the necessity of
having a greater number of teachers for the sunday school,
while there were inch numbers of young children wander-
ing about the streets in ignorarce, and the temptations to
which ignorance exposes, aad whose miserable condition
seemed to call out to all feeling people—" come, teach me."
The meeting was- subsequently addressed by Rev. Messrs..
Sheldon, Marlen, Minton, Hume, Bardsley, Barry, &c. -
A choir, composed of pupils of the schools, was in
and sung, with great taste and effect, several

hymns.

The'prisoners were discharged. • .: •
A STOLEN WATCH.—CURIOUS AFFAlR,—George and
Mary Tellett, young persons of respectable appearance,, were
charged under the . following circumstances.:—Mr. Godfrey
appeared for the prisoners.' The story of the easels as fellowe—
On the 21st November last, a master joiner, named Joseph.
Cowden, froni Halifax, in Yorkshire, was in Liverpool, and
whilst in a state of intoxication, he lest, his watch, but he
could not tell how, nor anything about it, except that; it was
gone somewhere near London-road. On the morning of
the 22nd, a printed notice was issued, and Mr. Clough said
there was a copy 'served on all. the .pawnbrokers in
town. On the same day the, watch was pledged at 1I r.
Webbs, of Mount Pleasant, where it remained until Wed-
nesday, when it was released, and in a shOrt'time after it was
stopped by a young man doing business at Mr. Parley's
pawnshop, London-road, when offered 'for pledge by the
prisoners. The yoang man said 'he had i'description of the
watch from the 22nd Nov., and the moment he saw it he
recognised it, and gave the prisoners into custody. Mr:
Webb's representative, in reply to Mr. Clough, denied that he
ever had a police notice of the watch at all. Ultimately, the
female, being the wife of the prisoner, was discharged, and he
was committed for a month, for not being able to account for
how he came by the watch. The article was restored to its
owner.

CAPTURE OF Two FORGERS.—Too notorious forginrs,
named William Stranges and Thomas Be*, were Captured
at Eton on. Saturday last, charged with-having forged the
name of the Earl of Digby to two.oheques on his lordship's
bankers, Messrs. Hoare, of Fleet-street, for the respective

Hoare
received a cheque by poSt, enclosed in a letter signed Mrs.
Mary Harris, purporting:to be drawn by the Earl of
Digby. The writer of the letter requested the money
might be remitted in Bank of England notes to Mrs.
Mary Harrris, Marrow, near Guildford, Surrey, and
Messrs. Hoare having no, suspicion of the forgery sent
the money accordingly. On Friday last, the 28th Dec.,
acre Hoare received a second letter, dated 12, High-
:ton' Bucks, and bearing the post mark of that
own, enclosing a cheque for one hundred pounds, signed
3igby, payable to Octavius Wingfield, Esq., and request-
ng that the cheque might be honoured by two £5O Bank
of England notes. This letter aroused the suspicion of
the corresponding clerk, to whom the letter was handed,
and the firm at once instructed their solicitors, Messrs.
Blake & Co., Essex-street, Strand, to investigate tho
matter. Accordingly a gentleman connected with the
solicitors' office immediately proceeded to Windsor. The
result was that the prisoners were apprehended on the

tap-room in the disguise of a bricklayer, and when the
prisoners applied for the letter which had been posted in
London, he took tnem into custody. Horsford, an officer
of the Mendicity Society, deposed that one of the pri-
soners' (Thomas Bew) was well acquainted with Lord
Digby's handwriting, having obtained several cheques
from his lordship under false pretences. On the last
occasion, at the end of the year 1831, the prisoner obtained
from his lordship a cheque for £25, by representinz that
he was a Captain Newton, for which offence 1:c w. 1.•: tried
