BOW-STREET.
Ye sterdey (ladies Samuel Ocean Ares. Jean llama.:, and Gail.
ignore Darnainc alias Detain. three Frenchmen, were bought'
before Sir Richard llimie, and underwent a very long examination
on the charge of having, by violent threats, extorted from Monsieur
Thehommery. a French merchant, residing in the city of London,
certain valuable securities, namely ?Asinine in a mercantile com-
mie, called " The Paris and Madrid Woollen Cloth Company."
It appeared by the testimony of several witnesses, that some time
ago a company of merchants In Paris obtained from the King of
Spain a royal concession, for the exclusive manufacture of woollen
cloths at 31wIritl, and agents were appointed by the Company in
various pintail(' Europe for tin sale of shares. The agents in London
were Messrs. Evatth and Thelenumery, of Bread-street, City, who
had been entrusted with 1,0110 shares for sale. The banker far
the Company at Paris is M. Verret. Sonic abort time ago the de-
fendants went to the gentlemen above-mentioned, and represented
themselves to be employed by 31. Vernet, the l'aris banker, to raise
money fur him upon the shares which Messrs. Evarth and The. I
bommery had in their possession, and desired to be furnished with
a quantity for that purpose. The shares were th n at about 431.
per share, and were in the nature of Exchequer Bills, bearing in-
terest and payable at Madrid or Paris. Messrs. Evarth and The-
bounnery refused to part with any of the shares until they were
better satisfied that the defendants had authority to dispose of them.
Drsanges pressed repeatedly to have some supplied to him, and
said he knew a capitalist who would immediately advance too.
ney upon them. After bring several times pressed to give
the name of his capitalist. Desanges at length said it was Kin.
near, who it may be recollectrd was one of the parties in a ease in
the Court of King's Bench Rome six or seven years ago. The de-
fendants repeated their demand several times, and were as often
positively refused, at which, it was stated, they became desperately
enraged. A few evenings ago they went together to the private
counting-house of M. Theboturnery, in Nicholas-lane, Lonshani-
street, and finding hint there alone, they commenced a series o!'
threats, which were to lie put in exeaitien unless he gave up to
them the share' which he had in his can possession. They said,
among other things, that they would immediately putilislt a
letter which should affect the credit of the Company, and also the
credit of their (Messrs. Dearth and Thebominceys) house t and
Bonnet, In a violent rage, swore he would plunge a poigeard in
the bean of 31. Thebornmery, unless their demand was complied
with. Under the terror of these threats, 31. Thebonimery gave
up 290 of the shares in question. 31. Thebommery immediately
conveyed information of this transaction to the company at Pans,
and on Tuesday night 31. Pierre Audriel, one of the managing
ppaurmere, arrived in London. end a warrant was obtained from Sir
Richard Bantle for the apprehension of the defendants.
The defence set up was, that they were authorised and employed
by 31. l'ernet, the Paris banker, to raise money upon these shares
In this country, he being a partner in the Company, and their
banker.

On the other side. it was denied that 111. Vernet had any power
to give any such authority.
The dt fendants said they had claims upon M. Veruet, and they
should rot give up the share% until they were satisfied.
The coniplainants said they would not object to the shares being
impounded at this office, until it could be as.certained whether they
hail any claim upcia .M. Vernet, and if they bad it should be
settled; but they could not consent that the defendants should keep
pussession of the shares. _

• At lengfli ltesanges went with an officer and Mr. Harmer, and
brought the shares to the office, where they were tied up. and sealed
with the official seat, and M. Andric] Using atliztd Lis own seal,
they were depositei in the Magistrates' drawer.
The defendants Domaine and Donna were held to bail In 1001.
each, to keep the peace. lksanges, nut having himself and any
direct threat, was discharged unconditionally.

PATTON-BARDEN.
yesterday Johri Gibbs, a lad about eighteen years of age, who
described himself to be nn apprentice to his father, as a painter
and glazier, was brought t.p in the custody of Limbrick, the officer,
under the following circumstances :
It appeared that the prisoner, from the evidence of Mr. Clones,
shoptnan to Mr. Ramsay, a most respectable awnbroker, in Li-
quorpond-street. firay's-Inn-lane, went into his shop, and pre-
sented a watch for pawn, fur the low sum of is. The Altman, on
examining it, found that it was a valuable gold repeater, and of
mum sLopecting that the prisoner had become illegally possessed
of it, he strongly interrogated him as to his place of residence, and
how he became possessed of the watch, and as he prevaricated
much on these points, he sent for Limbrick the officer, who took
him into custody. When brought to the office, Lee, another
officer, found in his hat a sheet of brown paper, which seemed to
have been the envelop of some parcel. with a superscription_
•• Captain Eyre, 4, Crescent-place, Burton-crescent.' Some
tooth. picks, with other trifling articles, were also found on the pri-
soner's person, who acknowl,alged that he had been at work at
Captain Eyre's. _

Mr. litines stated, that the prisoner had another watch with
him, which was certainly not of great ♦alue, but which increased
the suspicion attaching to the manner in which he became possessed
oe the miser.

The prisoner, when sailed on to explain how he became possessed
of the watch, gave a new Terilloll of his story, and said that he had
found it.

Mr. Chinos, on the part of Mr. Ramsay, stated, that his em.
ployer was exceedingly anxious u• discover the imam and begged
to know w:-.at course he should adopt.
The Magistrate replied, that through the ordinary channels of
publication, there was but little doubt the owner would soon be
found.

The prisoner was remanded until the facts of the ease has ob.
tainvd publicity. The watch Is a small one, and appear to be a
lady's.
