A NEST OF COLVERS.

1, At the Worship street police court, on Saturday, James
"ler, Selina Philips, and Sarah Usher were charged
.
having been found engaged in the wholesale
Ittniufacture of counterfeit coin. It appeared from
edettidence that Mr. James Brennan, a superannuated
Aolico inspector, received private information which
muted him to proceed at ten o'clock that morning,
lit'eGninanied by Inspector Bryant, and a posse of con-
stables, to a detached cottage at the back of Wentworth
trset, Whitechapel. From their previous knowledge of
the desperate character of the inmates, they considered
Sheprudent to announce their arrival by dashing in
•"`e front door with a sledge hammer, which admitted them
rptn
it,t. a darkened room, where they found the prisoners
11,Ively employed in their pernicious occupations. Serje,nt
of Yaut at once grappled with the man, who was in the act
ir giving the finishing touch to some counterfeit shillings,
hiii/wards of forty of which were heaped upon the table,
th the prisoner commenced a desperate re•istanee, in
of.,,e_ourse of which he reverely kicked and bruised two
tha`,.4l, officers, and it was only after a protracted conflict
'I,C. he was at length overpowered and securely handcuffed.
hi:, Prisoner even then renewed his efforts to release
litirelf, and declared, with a horrid imprecation, that
hho f.)r the very overpowering number of his captors, they
manid never have taken him alive. On searching the
powerful galvanic battery, in full operation, was
pla-tpvered on a side table, fur the purpose of electro
tic Ling, about twelve spurious shillings, which were at-
144Ed to the wires, and all the necessary implements and
kl-,,erials for the nefarious trade, consisting of files, sand,
Pat'., metal spoons, and a large quantity of plaster of
their were scattered about the apartment. On
Aho waY to the station house, the woman Usher,
. that exhibited two severe black eyes, assured the officer
Ai; she had been only three days in the service of Fowler,
tion" nail compelled her to assist him in his lawless opera-
ore 8, t o which the male prisoner gruffly assented, and ex-
,seti a hope that all the consequences of the offence
entire) fall upon himself, as the two women had acted
offet;elY under his control. The prisoners, who declined
Pletig any defence, were remanded for the formal corn-
'n of the depositions.
