Vesterdey fifes. Brooks, who was for some yews an actress of
consVentlile note at the Surrey and other minor Theatres, was
brought up for a second examination, on a charge of unlawfully
powniug several silk and other dresses, the property of a man
named Smith, who lives in Wych-street, Strand.
O examines'
ion, the first examinaon, on Thursday, Smith stated, that on
the 20th of May, he and his wife were from home, and when they
returned he discovered that the door of his sleeping apartment
had been opened, and two drawers forced, and the articles men-
Potted soden. There are several lodgers in the house, and the
street door is Vierally fastened with a larch only in the day time.
H. sat out soon after to starch at the pawnbrokers' shops foe his
property, and at the very first he entered, Messrs. Maywood and
Lawrence in Drury-lane, he was informed that they had been
pledged there that day by a woman of the name of Brooks, an
actress, whose name was formerly Hatton. Ile then procured a
warrant at this office, but the offices was unable to find her until
Thursday last.
Williun Mainwaring Fenner, shopman to Maywood and Law-
rence, sl:posed, that the prisoner, on the evening of the '2oth 'May,
pledged the articles which he now produced. (These were identi-
fied by Smith.) She asked to have 3/. upon them, but he gave
her is lesser sum. She gave her own name of Brooks, which he
wrote upon the duplicate.
Mrs. Brooks stood wringing her hands and weeping while the
shopman was giving evidence, and exclaimed several times...." Oh !
(Pal forgive you, young man." When called noon by the
Magistrate to "Teak. she declared in the most energetic terms that
it was altogether a mistake; that she was innocent as the utiborn
child.
Fenner-1 am very sorry to say so, Mrs. Brooks, but lam too
certain of your person to be mistaken.
After some further conversation, Mr. 311 N sll 1: Li. said he could
not make up his migil to decide upon the extraordinary testimony
before him, ai d the case was postponed till yesterday.
firs. Brooks, accompanied by several fie:eels, attended at this
office.
Mr. Lawrence, the pawnbroker. attended. The office was ex-
cessively crowded, in consequence of the interest excited by her
case, and Mr. Monden attended to speak for the unfortunate lady,
who appeared extremely affected.
Mr. 'Lawrence, on being sworn, positively stated that Mrs.
Brooks was not the individual who pledged the property ; but the
woman who did so in every respect resembled her.
Mr. 31ix sit u i.f. expressed himself quite shocked at the circum-
stance of a person swearing so positively to the person of the lady,
who had always bone • high character in her profession, and
anions those who knew her.
Sir H. Maxi': remarked that he had known Mrs. Smote' for'
more titan twenty years. and could not stispeet her of dishonesty,
and there was a person present who knew her longer than anybody
in the office, who could give her the highest character: he meant:
31r. Months).
Mr. Montlen said he had known M rs. Brooks for upwards of
forty years, and lie knew her character to he unexceptionable. She
was very much ear red in her person of late.
The shopman who was so positive, excused himself by saying
that the 'anion who pledged the property war so much like Mrs.'
lhrsoks, and bearing the same name, that airy one might be de-
reived. The woman related several anecdotes of Mr. Alundeu,
.Ir. and other actors, and sang while she was: in the
place; and the full impression on I.is mind was, that it was Mrs.
Brooks ; but he was very sorry that he had been so positive.
Mr. 31sarantri.l. remarked that there was no grouitsl whatever
for the charge, and expressed himself gratified in discharging her
trout the office, which she might leave under the most creditable
eirconistances.
The young mairsebo swore to her person apologized to her, upon

which she shook hands with him, and said she freely forgave him,
but advised hint to be more cautious in future. She was extremely
adicted, and was borne tiom the office by her friends.
Sir R. theism was evidently affected to tears • and it is bat
justice to add that several persons were present ready to prove an
dad, if necessary ; but the Alagistrastes were so well satisfied that
they considered it would be superfluous.
LW e purposely abstained from publishing any tart of the pro-
ceedings in this case, tiU it had been MAY aeciwu'l

I'ItAUDS OW TUE AI ENDICIT SOCILT Y.—A case WIN brought
forward uu Satunlay lam. at this office, for investigation, before H•
11. DvElt }ln. the Projiding Magistrate, by the Managers of the
.Mendicity Society, which deeply Involved the charect of two
persons, who, if their account of themselves be correct, ers
must have
moved in a lay respectable sphere of life.
Mr. Phillips, M.P. for Wooton Basset, and Mr. Phillip', jun.
hie von, M.& Isaac Buick, Esq. end several *then of the 31a-
;lagers of the Society. together with Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary, at-
teeded the itiveeigation.
The two persons above alluded to were then placed before the
Magistrate; one ut them, Fmk, irk llVllms Jlaakiss, E 9. at
prevent residing in Trevorseepare, Kensington, in custody ot the
officers of the society; and 111r.Ed:reird Jephaun, residing at Limon-
grove who was nut in custody, but voluntatily accuumanied his
tried to the office.
Mr. Hawkins was dressed in the first style of fashion, and Mr.
Jephson very respectably, though not so elegantly as his friend.
While Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary, was arranging some papers,
Mr. Ilawkins addressed the Magistrate, and said, that as he under-
stood lie was broug..t there by the Mendicity Society, to answer a
charge which most entirely involve his character and respectability.
and, what he valued still more highly, the name and character of
Lis amiable friend 31r.Jephson and his family, be had to entreat the
favour of a private bearing of the case, lest any premature state-
ments to their prejudice might go forth through the medium of the
public press, before he had an opportunity of fully answering the
accusations against him.
Mr. DEER said, that there certainly were sane cases wherea
Magistrate might feel himself called upon to grant a request of this
kind, where, perhaps, circumstances might transpire offensive to
public decency, or hurtful to public morals t but even in such cases
he would not think it necessary to exclude any person belongieg to
the public press whom he then saw present, use be knew from.
expeetence that he could rely upon a good discretion in not giving
in - state to meet the

puhlicity to any case that was not a proper
public eye. In this case, however, he saw no ground at all for
privacy ; but lie could venters confidently to assure Mr.,Hawkins,
that no statement should at all go forth, until the accusations and
the defence were completed and at nend.
Mr. Hawkins thanked the Magistrate, and said, that he felt per-
fectly satisfied with this assurance ; all he wished for was, a fair
and impartial investigation of the charge,
Mr. Secretary Bodkin then came forward, and made the follow-
ing AtalellitMe to the Magistrate :
The charge, he said, which he bad to prefer against Mr. Haw-
kins, and which he regretted to have cause to prefer against a per-
son of his appearance and manner, was under the Vagrant Act, for
applying for, collecting, and receiving various sums of money,
under false pretences. lie should be most happy to find that Mr.
Hawkins would be able to acquit himself of the charm dthough at
present,so strong were the facts and proofs in his (Mr.Bodkin'si pos.
session, that belied not much hope on that head. The cimernatances
of the case were these :—So long ago as the early part of HIV, the
3lendieity.Society received Information that Mr. Hawkins, • gen.
demon living in the first style of fashion and expense, keeping
his country house, driving his curricle, and riding his hunters, was
living in this manner, and doing all this by funds derived from his
depredations upon public credulity and impositions upon the hu-
mane and charitable, under the pretence that be himself was a gen-
: dollen of large fortune and of active benevolence, whose funds and
best exertions were alwiti3sodu
atathe service of the unfortunate and dia.
I tressed ; but he (Mr. • ) should be enabled to prove, that so
far from Mr. Hawkins being the character be represented himself to
I be, he was in league with a set of persons, whose pretended
cases of distress he made use of to obtain considerable contribu-
thins, a great portion of which found its way into the pocket of Mr.
Hawkins himself, and that, in this way, he has carried on a regular
plan of imposition for a long time. From the time the Society tint
received any information respecting the practices of 31r. Hawkins,
up to the Assent tune, they have been actively employed in en.
deavouring to catch him; bat 'ogre* was his ingenuity in evading
their utmost vigilance, that all their efforts proved abortive until
that very morning, when be was taken into custody at the house of
Mr. Phillips (who was present), in Hill-street, Berkeley-ague/e,
and elrom he (Mr. Bodkin) should beg leave first to examine as
to his knowledge of Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Bodkin said, he should I
be able to show, that at the very time Mr. Hawkins was assuming
to be a man of fortune, and raising subscriptions as a benevolent
character for a person named Tadd, another named Singleton—for,
this very Mr. Jephson now present, and his family—applying to *
number of dignitaries of the church, in behalf of a person whom
be represented to be the distressed widow of a deceased clergy-
man—going about with a petition in the name of a person whom
he stated himself to have known as a respectable man once raid-
ing at Cheltenham, but reduced in circumstances, and in this case
always managing to make his applications to gentlemen whom he
knew to reside in the neighbourhood of that town, when he could
catch them in London. That while thus charitably engaged in
behalf, as he professed of others, Mr. Hawkins was actually, at
the very time, writing begging letters and drawing up petitions
his own name, representing himself and his family in the greatest
distress, and sending his wife pound to collect subscriptions. lie
should also, prove, that the very parties for whom Mr. Hawkins
professed to be so actively engaged, were his intimate friends and
constant companioes; that they an lived together at times, and'
always so near as to keep up a constant communication. This
Mr. Jephson, he (Mr. Bodkin) should prove, for instance, to have
lived in a house adjoining that of Mr. Hawkins, at Fulham, and
that they had a communication made between the kitchens of the
two houses, by which means they carried on their plans unper-
ceived and undetected. Mr. Bodkin then said, that for the present
be would state no more, although he was prepared to go much fea-
ther, but he would rather keep within the case he was furnished
with than exceed it.
Mr. Phillips, 31. P., was then requested to state what he knew
of Mr. Hawkins, an mid, that in March, 182:1, Mr. Hawkins
waited upon him and professed to be a gentlemen of fortune, who
was exerting himself to obtain subscriptions for a person named
Singleton, whom he had formerly known under better circum-
stances. lie produced a list of contributions in which Mr.
Hawkins's own name was down for a considerable eum and a great
number of respectable names attached to it. mlr. Phillips gave
him two guineas, and complimented Mr. Hawkins upon his ben*.
volent exertions. In a short time after, Mr. Phillips was much
surprised at a lady's calling upon him with a petition foe sub-
scriptions for a family named Hawkins, and a letter addressed to
' him, signed F. Hawkins, and dated from Vine Cottage, Fulham,
stating the bearer to be his wife, and representing his family to be
in great distress. Mr. Phillips immediately suspected that this
ems the same person who bad been collecting subscriptions for
Singleton, and not doubting but some fraud was going on, he
communicated the circumstance to the Mendicity Society. Sinn
that time he bad heard nothing of Mr. Hawkins, until that morn-
ing, when he again canal on Mr. Phillips to subscribe for this Mr.
Jephson, who was waiting outside the -house for him at the time,
and knowing that the Society; was making inquiries after Mr.
Hawkins, he sent to let them know that he was then at isn't suss.
Mr. Phillips here produced the letter, signed F. liewkins.
Mr. llawkins denied that he ever tent such a letter, or his wife'
with any petition, to Mr. Phillips. lie was married to a woman
of family and respectability, end would scorn to send her on such
an errand ; and, besides, he never was in any distress ; the letter
produced was not his hand-writing at all.
Mr. Bodkin asked him it he had not lived at Vine Cottage, from
whence the letter was dated. He acknowledged that he had, and
had laid out 3001. on the cottage and premises, but he gave it up,
owing to a dispute with the landlord.
He was again asked if he persisted still in denying the letter to be'
his writing ? He said that he certainly did.
31r. Bodkin 'eked hint if he knew a Mrs. Hughes at Fulham
Ile replied that he did, very leen, and had had dealings with her
SS a !APT-keeper there.
Mr. Bodkin then asked how he could state himself not to have
been in any distress, when he had gone in debt to this Mrs.
Hughes 441., and ruined the woman under the pretence of patron.
izing her as a man of fcrtune, but soon after ran away from the
neighbourhood in debt to every one around ?
Mr. Hawkins said that his debts had nothing to do with the pre-
sent charge. It was not because a man might be poor that he
should be guilty of a charge like this.
All. DYER said certainly not, but the mention of this circuits-
stance arose out a the nature of the case.
Mr. Phillips, jun. next stated, that Mr. Hawkins came to him
about • year ago, and obtained a subscription from him fur a person'
mimed I"aeld.
Mae liedikia-einw enid, that in COWSS4WASISS of..the apprehension
of Mr. Hawkins, so adexpectedly that morning, he was not pre.
pared with all the evidence he would be able to hting forward, but
be hoped Mr. Byer would detain 3lr. Hawkins in custody, and ad-
: eoum the case for a few days.
Mr. Hawkins Said, that he also wished the case adjourned, as he
I was totally unprepared to meet such a charge ; but he denied alto.
gether the statement of Mr. Bodkin. Ile had acted ell through
from the purest motives of benevolence, and all the perilous that ha
interfered for were deserving objects. For instance, his friend
Mr. Jephson, who had a wife end eight children, ad only 361.
a.year tresupport them upon, which lie derived from hie-commis-
sion as a Lieicenatit in the Tower Hamlets militia; and even Mr.
Bodkin himself had acknowledged that Mr. Jephson was s deserv-
ing object.
Mr. Main said that he had acknowledged no such thing, for
when he called on Mr. Jephson at Liston-grove, in consequence of
a begging letter which he wrote to the Society, he refused to give
him any explnnation as to his affairs or pempects, when he found
that he belonged to the Mendicity Society.
Mr. Hawkins said, that if he bad nut made such an acknowledg-
ment, Sir 3111 es Nightingale, Colonel Webb, Sir 'Wm. guise, and
others of great respectability did acknowledge 31r. Jephson to be
a deserving object, and aftePriled him relief.
Mr. JepliSOW said that it was only lately, since the death of a
very benevolent Nobleman, whose name he did not wish to men-
tion, that lie required relief from anybody, and his object at present
was to raise the sum of 401. to enable him to set up a school.
Mr. Bodkin asked how that could be, for in time list of subecrip-
dons which he then held in his hand, there was upwards of 701. for
3lr. Jeplison's use?
Mr. Drum. said, that if all parties were riot fully prepared, he
was ready to adjeurp the case; and from the appearance of Mr.
Hawkins, he would take his word tea his coming forward egain to
meet the charge. He won* of course recollect that his character
was at stake.
Mr. Hawkins said that he was aware 9f that, and he would rea-
dily come forward and retro the champ.- He had always main.
taiiied an unsullied reputatitau ; he had :pr years practised his pro-

raassinn as an artist, and was knoutist, in some of the first families in
. His father was one of the most extensive manufacturers
latlistind ingham, and he had a son at present articled at one of the
first mercantile houses in the City, that of Alexander, Derides, and
Co.
A large morocco leather pocket-book, found on Mr: Hawkins
when taken, was now given to Mr. Dyer, who was requested by Mr.
Bodkin to open and examine its contents.
Mr. Hawkins said it contained nothing but private memoranda
of his own.
On Mr. Dyer opening it, however, it was found to contain a
petition, with a number of subscribers to it; and Mr. Phillips ob.
t.erted. that the hand-writing of this petition was precisely the
ume es that of the letter which Mr. Hawkins denied to be his
writing.
The pocket-book also contained the commissions of Mr.Jephson,
'ow as an ensign in the South Gloucester Militia, and the other as
bieutenant in the Tower Hamlets.
Mr. Dyer then sealed up the pocket-book, and put it in his
drawer, until yesterday, to which day be adjourtml the further
hearing of the ease.

SECOND EXAMINATIAN.
Yesterday, according to adjournment, the same gentlemen be-
longing to the Mendicity Society, together with Mr. Abrahams,
the Honorary Counsel, were in attendance at one o'clock, and Mr.
Broderick appeared on behalf of Mr. Hawkins, who was expec'ed
to be present ; but, after waiting some time, Mr. Jephson arrived,
with a letter from Mr. Hawkins to Mr. Broderick, saying, that as he
understood there were several writs out against him, and that it was
Intended to arrest him lot debt at the office, he should not corns
, forward, but wished Mr. Broderick to t him in the case.
(This was the fart, for there were several Sheriff's officers in at-
tendance with writs against him.)
Under these circumstances the ease was gone into before Mr.
Conant, who, not having before heard it, Mr. Abrahams made the
same statement that Mr. Bodkin did on the first examination, and
nt-examined the Messrs. Phillips, together with the following per-
sons. who stated their grievances:—
Mr. Boatwright, residing in Bury,street, St. James's, stated,
that 3lr. Hawkins look a house from him at Paddington, and re-
ferred him tot a character to Mr. Jephson, who gave him an excel-
lent one; but, after Mr. Hawkins occupying the house for three
mouths, he removed the whole of the furniture and a vast quantity
of goods, which he obtained from different tradespeople in the
neighbourhood clandestinely, and from that time to this Mr. Boat-
wrbilit or thew tradareteeposever gat • shilling.
Mre. Hughes,a grocery shop at Northend, Fulham,
and has seven children, stated that Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Jephson
resided in her neighbostrhood, and professed their intention of
patronising her sash. had a large family, but their patronage ended
by their getting 1101. in her debt, as well as getting in debt to every
one stout the place ; and, in fact, they had nearly ruined her. For
some time before they disappeared there was no getting access to
their house, which WAS regularly barricaded, and they only spoke to
people through a trap-dour; and if any ono ventured to get over the
railing in front of the house, there were two large mastiff dogs
ready to tear them to pieces. She said, that before they came to
Fulham they lived at Bayswater, and she ascertained dint there
they occupied two adjoining houses, between which they made a
communication under ground, and carried on their plans.
Mr. Jephson here said, that he did not owe Mrs. Hughes a
shilling.
" No," said Mrs. litwhes, " because you have come out under
the Insolvent Act, and dared yourself ; but you and Mr. Haw-
kins have robbed my poor family."
A poor milkwoman next came forward, and said that Messrs.
Hawkins and Jephson had defrauded her of 131. for milk and
butter.
And now followed and endless list of tradespeople, who com-
pletely filled the office and blocked up all the passages, who were
brought for ward by the filendicity Society. and who had been
patronised by Mews. Hawkins and Jephson in a similar manner
to Mrs. Hughes.
The last person who stated his case was Mr. Charman, a re-
spectable jeweller in Piccadilly. who said that he had the bad for-
tune to know Mr. Hawkins, who got WI. worth of plate and jewel-
key from him, and which he discovered he had pledged at a
pawnbroker's in an hour after. Mr. Charman here produced a
letter from Mrs. Hawkins, thanking him for his kind intentions
to arrest Mr. Hawkins, who however was beyond the reach of his
" bull-dogs" (sheriff's officers) to bite him, and assuring him that
he might make himself perfectly easy, foe be should never got one
shilling of his mosey. Mr. Charman had also letters from Mr.
Hawkins himself, and had seen him write. The letter produced
by Mr. Phillips, and which Mr. Hawkins denied on the former
day, he believed to be his hand-writing.
Upon this case, Mr. ABRAHAMS grounded'an application for a
warrant or a summons, to compel the appearance of Mr. Hawkins,
if they can find him.
Mr. BRODERICK contended that there was not sufficient ground
for the Magistrate to interfere, but Mr. Conant thought differently,
and granted a summons.
Mr. Ana/Main no. asked Mr. Jephson if he would tell where
Mr. Hawkins lived, as the address which he gave at Trevor-square
was a false one, no such person living there.
Mr. Jephson said that he would not tell, nor would he answer
any questions.
Mr. Charm= said that the letter he received Was dated from
Chapel Cottage, Weston Green.
Mr. CONANT asked Mr. Jephson what profession Mr. Hawkins
tics of?
He replied that he was an artist.
Yes, said Mr. Co STANT, I am quite sure of that; but what de.
parturient of the arts that you mean does he profess?
Mr. Jephson said, landscape painting.
Mr. ABRAHAMS ;aid that they had made inqttiries of the first
painters, and they never heard of such a person.
Mrs. Hughes here observed that Mr. Jephson was married to the
first cousin of Mr. Hawkins.
The summons was now issued against Mr. Hawkins—and

Mr. Brock, the manager of the Mendicity Society, said that it
really was unknown the vast sums of money that them two men had
fraudulently obtained from the public. The Society had already
In their possession proofs of their receiving apwrat of 3,04.01.;
and there is scarcely a nobleman or gentleman of fortune that can
be named, that they have not got sums of money from ; and on the
very day of the last examination of the case at this office, Hawkins
went, booted and spurred, with a whip in his band, to Mr. God-
son, of Piocadilly, after leaving this office, and applied to him for
a subscription for Jephson. In fact, Mr. Brock said, that a more
extensive, gang ofswindlers than these two men and their associates
never was unkenneled.
Mr. COXAMT said, that he never heard a case that was more
deserving of publicity than this, for it would at all events check
their future depredauons.
Mr. ABRAHAMS said that they had but little hope now of being
able to catch Mr. Hawkins.

tion was made at this office, on the part of Mr. Stocker, a Gentle-
man on the establishment of Guys Hospital, touching the fol-
lowing:—
Mr. Stocker had received, in the course of the morning, 451., in
two 201. and one 51. Bank of England notes, and a check for nine
guineas, on Messrs. Masterman's, and was proceeding with them,
as he imagined in his poncasion, along the Borough High street,
when, to his great surprise, on his arrival at the Hospital, he dis-
covered they were gone. Immediate information was given, under
the impression he had been robbed, and hand-bills were in course
of printing, offering a reward of la for the recovery ; payment of
the check was also stopped at Messrs. Alasterman's, and Mr. Stoc-
ker wen on the point of entering the Hospital gates on his remits,
when, strange mutability of human affairs ! he was met by a Gen-
tleman, who handed him the whole of them back, with the assurance
that he had picked them up in the street, and perceiving the name
and address upon the check, had hastened to restore them. Mr.
Stocker, it should seem, bad plsecd the notes loosely in the outside
pocket of his ant, ond, doubtless, in drawing out his handker-
chief, drew out the Dotes with it.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT SIR WILLI.4M CON
GREVE ROCKET MANUFACTORY.

On Thursday afternoon, &roost tremencluous explosion and die.
charge of rockets, shells, Ike. took place at the factory of Sir
William Congreve, at West Ham, Essex, which threw the neigh-
bourhood into a state of the greatest alarm; the shock lasted
three minutes ; and it rug first imagined the powder magazine had
blown up ; however, the shock not being repeated, several of the
inhabitants ofsStraiford, Blackwell, and the workmen of other
manufactories in the vicinity, flocked to the place. and found all
in a lute of the utmost confusion. The rocket factory is situate in
the marshes between Blackwell and West Ham, and is composed
of a cluster of detached wooden buildings, the store for the core.
bustible twatetiale being about three hundred yards foam the.
workshop. The explosion took place in the following manner :
Neill, one of the workmen, had, only a few minutes be-
fore it happened, deposited some rockets in the finishing room, where
two men were finishing the rockets, and one of them, in nailing up
a case. !struck a blow which caused a spark of fire, that instantly
ignited the rocket, and communicated to a number of others, which
blew up, and forced the roof off the house. The two men who were
at work were horribly scorched, and the ruins of the building fell
upon them. The roofs of the adjoining buildings were shaken o
and the Maack was so violent, that the workmen (of whom there are
fift.:en) at first imagined it to proceed from the powder and rocket
magazines: they were obliged to remain under the sheds while the
rockets were Miming in the air, as the utmost danger wee appre-
hended from the falling shells, &c. Neill, who was outside the
buildings, was struck on the arms and body by a rocket, and was
very severely injured On the two men being taken from the
ruins, they wore Mond to be in a state of insensibility ; their heads
wear scorched and swollen in a shocking manner : they were in-
stantly carried to Stratford, and from thence removed on a cart so
the London Hospital, where they were yesterday afternoon in such
a state, that their recovery was judged impossible by the house
surgeon. . _

The rockets fortunately bunt in the air, as, had they fallen on
the buildings, the whole would hare been destroyed. line roc►et
ploughed up the ground to a very considerable depth. The rockets
that explodoll were principally for signals.

. .
•
Such an accident had not occurred since the establichment of the
works, and the alarm it created was so great, that expresses were
sent to London far the fir engines. and before seven o'clock in the
evening three arrived at the factory, but their nervier, were not re-
9uircd. An express reached Sir \William Confrere inform-
ing him of the dreadful explosion, by ten o'clock at night.l The
works are still going or, and have not been in the least checked.
It may be necessary to state that every precaution has been adopted
to prevent accident and the explosion of powder ; from the sys-
tematic method of working, it was supposed such an accident was
impossible.
