On filiturday Riedird Caltif appeared to answer the complaint of
slr. Robert Paton. The parties are both itinerant booksellers and
venders of valuable works published at a cheap rate, in numbers,
for the benefit of the operative classes.
The complainant stated, that he had engaged the defendant as
his sotrant, to solicit orders for some of the most valuable works
which were pow publishing in numbers, at various prices ; and
that be agreed to allow him a commission of '25 per cent. on all the
orders be obtained, but that in consequence of a quarrel that had
taken place between them the defendant abruptly quitted his *cr_
vice, and refused to deliver up certain specimens of the different
works.
The defendant stated, that when lie entered the complainant's
service the latter ensured him that bie commission would amount
to twsguineas a week, instead of which it did not average 10s. ;
and that, from conscientious motives, he declined continuing in his
employ, the system adopted by him being ■ gross fraud on the
public. lle himself, only f. few days before quitting the situation,
had sold to a castomer the first five nunilsere of Hollin's Anci. t
History," purporting to be published in 100 numbers at one shil-
ling each, although he knew at the time the work was stack (dis.
caltinnetq, and that it would never be completed. He had sold
various numbers of •• Robertson's History of Scotland" under si-
milar circumstances, but his conscience would not allow him to do
so any longer.
The LORD MAYOR said it was ridiculous for the defendant to
talk about his conscience, as it was quite clear (if the protiia had
'eriisteered his expertattoro he would have continued in his situation.
lift then ordered him to give up the property, which he reluctantly
ceasenctl tads.

On Steriday Homy Yates, Jonathon Thos. Johnson, and Jas.
Jinnlcr Orgy, were brought up, for the purpose of being present
when the depositions of ate several witnesses were read over to the
deponents, and their recognizances taken for their appearance to
prosecute, as it was not judged necessary to enter into evidence on
any new case.
It having been dirdsavered, since the last examination of the pei-
sewers, 'hat the articles obtained from Mr. Weir and Mr. Dunnett
,had been pawned by Yates* evidence was allowed to be produced
' of ',kat (act.
'Robert Pike, clerk to Mrs. Rochfort, pawnbroker, Jerinyii..
street, St. James's, stated that the prisoner Yates pledged with
him, on the toth of October, the backgammon-box, chessmen,
dnitutie.en, and dice.boxes, now produced, for 11.
Mr. Dunnett identified the articles produced as those he had sent
to Viten% order.
Pike next proved that Yates, at the same time, pledged with
him the desk and dressier case produced, for
Mr. Weir's shopman identified- these articles as the same lie sent
to Yates's order.
Pike stated, that Johnson was with Yates at the time he pledged
the articles, and that Yates had often pledged there before, and
released the things.
All the witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners
were al; committed for dial.
William Burgess was charged with embezzlement.
Mr. Ryder, of A lilemgate-street. fancy-warehouse-keeper, stated
that the prisoner had been his town-traveller, at a weekly salary,
and also a commission on the cash received by Mr. Ryder for the
goods he auld. The prisoner was in the habit of taking out a box
of rods every morning. for which he was to account with My.
Ryder every right, either by producing the goods, the money if
sold for cash, or the name of the customer if sold on credit ; he
also collected the debts for the goods sold by himself. Mr. Ryder
said, 'he had several charges against him of having sold goods, and
of having received money for which he did not account.
The defendant said, he had constantly an open account with Mr.
Ryder and sent him whatever balance was due on it since hes
quitted his service about a month apo.
Mr. Ryder denied that there had been any account between
them, lie paid the prisoner his salary and commission every
week.

The case appearing to be one of legal difficulty, the Alderman
obtained the assistance of the City Solicitor.
The first charge against the prisoner, of receiving 21. for 31r.
Ryder' for which he did not account, failed in proof, as it appeared
he had paid over the money, though not when he received it. In
the next case it was proved that, in the month of February, he
received from a customer returned goods and cash to the amount of
11. 4s. 7d., for which he had not accounted.
This charge was considered to be sufficiently proved, and the
prisoner was committed.
BOW-STREET.
Three young men, named Clearke Lewis, George Sawyer. and
Jas. Lindsey, were brought on Saturday before AD. Halls, by Dea-
kin, the constable of the night, at Kentish-town, under the follow-
ing circumstances:—
About one o'clock that morning, ea Deakin was going hill rounds,
be perceised a light in the grounds of 31r. Crucifix, and iu conse-
quence, his suspicion was excited. He accordingly sent three
watchmen to get Into the fields behind 31r. C.'s house, and got
one to assist himself, in case there should be occasion, in the
front. When the three watchmen had been secreted under a
hedge about tan minutes, they heard some persons running far,
towards them, but thinking it most prudent not to discover them.
selves, until the intruders had passed them ; they let them go by,
end they distinctly saw four men. When they had gone past a
few yards, the watchmen jumped out upon, and secured Lewis im-
mediately ; Sawyer, however, ran away, but had net proceeded
many yards before he fell over • drain. and was laid hold of.
The other two got clear off, and Lewis and Sawyer sere convey-
ed to the watch-house and aearched, but nothing found upon theni
to support the original ideathat they intended to break into Alr.
C.'s house. About half an hour afterwards, however, Lindsey
was observed walking quietly down the road, and as the watch-
man recognised him as one who had escaped, he took him into
custody and lodged him with the others. There was nothing
upon Ids person that tended in the least to throw any light upon
the subject. .This appeared at first rather singular, but Dea-
kin, supposing they might have thrown their implements away,
caused the field to be searched, and at the place where Lewis was
taken was found a cane loaded with lead, and a "jemmy ;"
where Sawyer fell, a dark lantern ; and where Lindsey got over
the hedge, a chisel. The whole of these articles were produced.
The prisoners denied having gone there with an evil intentitn,
and farther contended, that.the field in which they were surprised
by the watchmen, was a public one.
Deakin 'Aid, the field was a private one, and that the nearest
field through which there was a thoroughfare, was two fields
front it.

Two of the pri‘onera are well known at this office. They were
all remanded until Saturday next.

' MARYLEBONE.
On Saturday Philip !hely, alias Philip Bell, was charged with
being concerned with a female, who passed as his wife, in robbing
his furnished apartments, in the house of Mr. Slater, in Totten-
ham.court-road.

Several other persons were in the office to prefer cotnplaints
against the accused.
The prisoner was a man of respectable appearance, about forty
years of age, and the female who lived with hint was said to be
about eighteen. On Friday the prisoner and his companion left
their lodgings to take a walk, and he returned alone in about two
hours afterwards, and gave an alarm that the place had been
robbed, when, in feet, the property had been carried off by his fe.
male friend ; and it was believed with his connivance.
The prisoner, being called upon for his defence, said his cha-
tamer was most respectable, that lie was employed at Carlton
Palace, and formerly at the late Duke of Kent's. The female he
lived with was not his wife. He knew her sometime ago, when he
resided at Brighton, during the King's residence there. She was
the daughter of Mr. Philips, a publican, in Church.lane, Brighton,
and about three weeks ago lie met her in a distressed state in the
Park. She told him that in coming from Brighton to London she
had been robbed of all her clothes, and was quite destimte. Out
of mere compassion he took a lodging for her, and had been as
kind's* her ever since as it had been in his power. On t riday she
left hint. and what had become of her he did not know ; nor
did he know what had become of the property missing out of the
apartments.
The Maglstrate asked if he did not know any place where the
young woman visited ?
tie said she had taken a lodging in Tyndall street, opposite Mrs.
fitsherbert's, at whose house she visited ono of the servants, whom
she knew at Brighton.
The prosecutor said, that the prisoner, in his presence, uttered
an oath, that the female was his lawful wife.
The Magistrate said, that there was so much suspicion attached
to the accused that he telt it to be his duty to remand him, and he
thought it was' likely' ful•the: evidence would' be brought forward.

TOWN HALL.

Ittcorsor or &rocas' Noexs.—A few days back a rob-
bery of a very singular nature was committed in the shop of Mr.
King, cheesemonger, Tooley.sireet, Borough. A an box having
been taken from his counter, placed there for the convenience of
givingetsange, it contained 900:. in sovereigns and silver, and
8144. in bills, besides a 2•1. Bank of England note, and various
securities, and far dm recovery of which • reward of 1001. was
offered,
On Friday lest • boy named Smith, in the employ of Mr. R.
Jaues, a Pentonville cattier, was brought before the Magunrate by
Kimsey, he having called at Mr. King's, with a paper parcel, re.
gaalmiy addressed, containing all the written securities, but no part
of tke specie.
The lad stated that them* was given to him by John Paisely,
his fellow-servant, who, to his turn, declared he received it from a
man to a chaise-cut, in John-street, Pentonville, whose person he
did pot think lie should recncrrise,' but the vehicle he rode in he
thought he should, which had Whitechapel written on it ; the
roan was well.dremed, and appeared of middle age, and paid the
care ilge.
Alderman Smith cantor:emitted both the man and boy fur some
time, but nothing leading to any discovery of the actors in the rob.
bery transpired. They weer discharged, the Magistrate desiring
them to lend every assistance to Kinsey, to whom the elucidation
of this mysterious affair was intrusted, which they promised to do.
Mr. Kjpg observed, that not the least doubt rested on his maul
but the tobbery had been committed by some person who entered
the shop under pretence of purchasing.
The Magistrate said of that he could form no correct judgment,
but whatever coakl be done foe the recovery of his property should
be done.

engaged in investigating the circumatanees of a daring robbery,
perpetrated on the 4th inst., when about belt-pant four o'clock in
the atternoon.
the warehouse of Mews. Routh and Thomson,
No. hit. Awrtin .triara, was entered by some robbers, who cut open
two bales and carried off upwards of ?cwt. of raw silk. Three
men who r;em seen near the premises, carrying bags, were supposed
to be the robbers, and a large leotard aas offered for their discovery.
A few days alter the robbery. in consequence of information re.
eeived at this Office, Garton, the chief constable, in company with
Vann and Hanley, two other officers, searched two houses in a
place called Osidemtnarr, Heaton market, one of them occupied,
by a peraou named Stephens and the other by a person known
there by the name of Nichols, elsewhere as Calvert alias Page.
In the coarse of their search the officers •ttund a vast number of
skeleton and other key,, chisels, screws, a vice, a phosphorous box,
dark lantern, and a groat variety of housebreaking implements.
Amongst the keys were two which opened the aarehouse door and
a a te:.et, at Messrs. Routh and Thomson's. The officers then
took Liken, (the name he gave before the Magistrate) Mrs. Ste-
yens, and a women named Lindon, a charwoman, it.to custody,
and they have since undergone several examinations.
On Saturday they were again brought before Mr. Osborne.
Susan Curtner, a woman residing in tianitm-court, neat the
houses of the prisoners, deposed, that about five o'clock, in the
evening of Tuesday, the 4th inst., as she was emoting ip the court
three men came Into it, each of them carrying a bag. Two of the
bags were of a light dnd the other a dark colour. They went to
the house of the prisoner Nichols, (or Calvert), but there being ntr
person within, Mrs. Stevens,. who had the key, opened the door
cod let them in. One of the men, Wi14,111 she described as a tall
matt slightly pockmarked, said, •• they had forgot to bring the
bill." Another of the men site believed to be the brother of 31re.
Nichols, and the third, she said, was the son of the prisoner, Sarah
Lindon.

An elderly gentleman named Collett. of No. 14, Queen-street,
noston-market-place, deposed, that about eleven o'clock on Wed.
nesday, the 4:11 inst. while sitting at his parlour window, be ob-
served a tall man get out of a coach and peep round a corner lead-
ing to (laden-court. Presently afterwards three men came out of
the count. each of them carrying a bag, which they took into the
coach, and drove off, leaving the tall man behind. Two of the
bags were light. and the other dark. coloured.
' Vann, the officer, informed the Magistrate that he had taken a
man named Russell into custody, whom he Stmrgly suspected to
have some knowledge of the robbery, for he kept a fruit stall near
the warehouse, in such a situation that the robbers could scarcely
tome out of the passage from the warehouse without touching him.
When questioned on thr subject, he denied having seen the men,
and also dented any knowledge of the prisoner Calvert, although it
I could be proved they were Intimate and pot-companiocs.
Mr. Turner, landlord of the Rose and Crown public-house, Bun-
hill-row, having looked at Calvert and Russell, said he knew no-
thing of their character, but he had certainly seen them drinking
together at his house.
Rulsell declared that he knew nothing of the robbery, and he tie-
! Ter knew any harm of Calvert.
John Brady, a street-keeper in Broad-street Ward, stated, that
the person who now gave his name Calvert, had been tried at the
Old Bailey in the name of Page, .and convicted of • robbery In
Broad-street Ward. %Ilene's was at Adam-court (opposite /tut,
tin-friars) when the robbery was committed at Messrs. Routh and
I Thompson's, anti if robbers had come that way from the premises,
he must have met them. They must therefore have passed the other
way, and he was certain that Russell must have seen them.
Mr. OSBORNE said, the circumstances against Cairns were so
strong, that heshould be remanded.
The two females were discharged, and bail was taken for Rus-
sell's appearance.
