sovereigns. lie returned, however, on Sunday, and requested to
have the remaining :4. Itisi, declaring his pocket had been picked
of what he had previously received. The landlord not doubting
the cheque was a good one, satisfied this second demand, and sent
a friend for payment on the following morning (Monday). The''
answer to this application was, that no such person kept money at'
.that house, and the bearer of the cheque was subjected to muck
elimination as to how he become possessed of it. In consequence
of this. and in order to clear themselves (as was stated), the par-
ties applied for a warrant, and Mr. Perry was apprehended in Itis
hell, yesterday morning, at his lodgings in the Quadrant, by
Smith, one of the Row-street Patrol. In his pocket-book were
found four or five sovereigns. some halo of exchange. and a hand-
some gold ring, which he said a friend had left at his house the

ture:—'• Lost every thing is hazard." " Went to Rouge et Noir
and lost all." " Went to Of iey's. and brought lionie a
flat. from whom I got two sovereigns!"

hended on suspicion of being a party to the stooling of two coach
horses front the stables of J. Jefferson, Esq. of Canonbury, near
Islington, was brought up for re-examination. The evidence in
thus case, as yet, is not conclusive; but owing to the publicity given
wins apprehension by the daily papers, a fresh eomplainent was
brought forward in the person of Mr. Hawley, who, it appears, a
few wicks back attended Smithfield market with a horse to sell,
when he was accosted by the prisoner. and prevailed upon to suffer
him to try its paces, stitch he did, by riding off with it. Mr. Haw.

Dennis not being an .Iddison in the English language, made it
difficult to ascertain whether the *arrant was to bring her to life.
