BOW-ST It tr.T.
In consequence of anonymous letters being sent
to Mr. BOND and Sir WILLIAM Paacoyis, in-
forming them that Mr. Stackpole, of Southampton,
who lately commanded the Ipbigetlia in the Medi-
terranean, and the Rev Mr. thribeare, were to fight
a duel early yesterday morning, the Magistrates
issued warrants against them, and they were taken
into custody. Yesterday they were, in consequence,
brought before them at the above office, when, after
undergoing an examination, they were obliged to
find sureties to keep the peace.
William Lowe, alias Bder, alias Helene, and a
number of other aria es, was brought before the
above Magistrates, charged with having committed
divers aCts of swindling, &c.
The prisoner was brought to the office in the cus-
tody of Mr. Bond, a wine-merchant, of Mary-le-
bone, who met him by accident yesterday morning
in St. Margin's-lanc; who stated, that he had sent
the prisoner some wine some time since, and about
a fortnight ago he received a note, dated from the
Hotel in Soho-square, desiring him to call there on
some business ; and on his being shewn into a room
where the prisoner was, he expeeted to find another
person, whom he supposed had sent him the note
which was signed Baker, and he had known him
by the name of Helme, and of which Mr. Bond
informed him ; but the prisoner made such an ex-
cuse to him for going by two names, as satisfied
him for the time, and the business the prisoner sent
for him was, to pay his bill at the hotel, which
Mr. Bond declined ; but at length he prevailed
upon him to be answerable for the payment,
and the prisoner took. Mr. Bond in a coach to
Ibbetson's hotel, under a pretence of meeting with
a friend there to get some money, but on their ar-
rival there, he said his friend was gone out, but
would give Mr. Bond a draft for the money on his
Bankers, and accordingly wrote a draft on Down,
Thornton, and Free. for 31. 10s. ; and he likewise
wrote another draft for 201. payable to Mr. lbber-
son ; but while the porter of the house was gone for
the cash, he made 'his escape out of the hotel, and
Mr. Bond was obliged to pay the coachman for the
whole of the time he had been engaged by the pri-
soner. On the re:urn of the porter, he reported
that the Bankers did not know any such person. A
number of other charges were made against him by
tradesmen, from whom he has obtained property
under false pretences.
It appeared :hat the prisoner has beert in the ha-
bit of going to coffee-houses, and ordering dinners,
and not only contriving to set off without paying
for them, but articles of value have been missed af-
ter he has been gone, and there was strong suspicion
he stole them. It likewise appeared that he has
been in the habit of sleeping at inns in London and
in the country, and leaving them early in the morn-
ing ; after which there has not only been property
• missed from the room where he slept, but other per-
sons whose bed-rooms he could get at. When he
was closely pressed for the money by persons from
whom he had obtained property. under false pre-
tences, his last resource was to give a cheque on va-
rious Bankers, and signed by different names. When
the transaction was with a person, he had assumed
the character of being a Captain in the army, he
drew a bill upon an Army Agent, but in his ran-
dom way of drawing upon different houses, he has
drawn a note upon Coe' and Greenwood, by a name
which happened to be that of an officer who they
are agents for, but they refused payment, pronounc-
ing it not to be his hand-writing, which if satisfaCto-
rily proved, is a capital offence. He was committed
for further examination on Tuesday next.
The prisoner was tried on similar charges about
twelve months since. He declined answering whe-
ther he had received a pardon or not. He was
dressed in the first style of fashion.
Hadfild was, onWednesday last, lodged in Carlisle
gaol by Rivett, one of the Bow-street Officers, un-
der whose care *he was taken from London. He
stands committed to take his trial at the next As-
sizes for the county of Cumberland, on two capital
'charges of forgery, and for forging the frank ; all
ilatDCes were done in that-county.
