BASE INORATITUDE—IMPORTANT TO PAWN-
BROKERS.
Yesterday Mr. Harris, a pawnbroker in the Commercial
Road, appeared to answer • charge by summons, for having
received at pledge certain property under suspicious eircum
stances.
The AUSIZIIOII/ was at the instance of Mr. Hagen Walters, of
No. Ist, Higtestreet, Shadwell, for the restoration ol the pro-
perty. It epee-Wed by Mr. Walters's statement, that some
Rum la November,he visited a persoa,whom he had previously
known, in New gate; when there, a man named Proems Rig.
pointed out to him as a person deserving commiseration
alai pity ,• he took the mais's deplorable rase into considers-
bee, and afforded him both money and food during his con-
Bement. At the last Old Bails Sessions, he was tried anti
tlited, and on the Itth instant, at one o'clock, was liberated
t a single friend to apply to but Walters. About See
althea he called on Walters, who went out to ehasge a ii.

Matthew Wyatt, Esq., and Captain Richhells who
were of opinion that no suspicion esisted strung e or
the pawnbroker to have refused them. Yet the Arid
of the law ordered their restoration, a decision 'like
