liais day the Hy‘ourehle Mr. bait, Elias rke
(I,,,v,raalr Mr. Greeitir. ettes ./.does Morley. Elie*
.101,1“1.4., abet Pratt, was brought before Wr LUAU
. Remora, F.sq. the sitting Magistrate, to undergo
Lliissecond examination. The particulars of the first
iwere reported in our Paper of Wednesday last.
1 The Prisoner was attended by Mr. Harris, as his
• w agent.
. The first ppslon who appeared against him was
is
r. Wm. Gafincs. of St. Paul's Church yard,
eller : he stated that about three weeks ago the
isrzmer came. to his shop, and looked out a cocci-
isle quantity of goods, which he dlreeed should
sent to one Mrs. Rumley, No. 25, in the Change,
thout distinguishing what Change he meant.
he goods were sent to the New Change, and no
such person could Ile found. Immediately after a
diamond locket was missed, valued at 401. which
K. Gaimes had purchased but a abort time before
fir 291. odd.

M,ss Mary GUIs and Miss Irene Coles, two
shopkeepers bzlonging to Mr. Gaimes, being sworn,
the latter deposed, that she was the person who at-
lode., the Prisoner when he ordered the goods.
HS looked Duet a variety of pearl rings, broaches,
c. and said he warmed them for a lady going to
st Indies : hevished them all to match, and
*teal ~f them on his fingers, and after examin-
in them fur half an hour, he chose out two
rilgs, two broaches, a pearl hoop, and a pair of
pearl earrings, amounting to "..il. and ,desired they
should be sent ht.= in half an hour, as he
wiiuld then be in the way. She then went with the
Olds as ordered, but not finding the place or per-
twas
returned, and missed the di unond locket ;
was positive it as in the tray along with the
er articles he had been looking at, and no per-
t' except him had been examining that tray.
The Prisonsr being asked what he had to say in
defence, answered, that he never saw any of
party before, and knew nothing about the
tter.
Mr. HAN LW, his Attorney, said he should defer
y further defenct till a future opportunity, and,
wlth the permission of the Magistrate, begged leave
tdask Miss Coles, r, Had sue not said, that het
spicinn of the prisoner arose on her return home,
not finding cut the di eaion he gave, and not
ore r' She replied, that most undoubtedly her
picion arose before she went not.
Mrs. Eliz ibeth Elvey, pocket-book and dressing-
se
maker, of New Bond-street, was then sworn:
er deposition WAS nearly the same as IngleSeld,
former servant, had given on the first elAilli-
nati3l2. She identified the prisoner, who, about the
Sth of January la.t, had ordered goods from her to
the amount of gl. fis. ; and desired they shrtuhl be
&ratted to the Hon. Mr. Leslie, at Gereral Leslie's,
Ptable-yard, St. James's. lie took a silver pencil
and other articles, to the value of fourteen shillings,.
in his pocket.
IMVP) *Pager jtkotti her, Was she suet it was last
nuafy ? and being aliswered in the affirmative, he
said he could prove he was sot in the country at
that time.

The parties were then bound over to prosecute,
and he was fulls committed to take his trial at the
nett Session at the Old Haiku.
He was dressed in the same way as on his former
nahmination.

A lady residing in Crafton-street. Fitzmy-square,
appeared to charge three ladies, a gentleman, and
a boy, who attended at the bar, in the custody of
the constable of the watch, fir a riot and assault.
She stited, that about nme o'clock last night, one
of the ladies, accompanied by the gentleman, on
pretence of leaving a letter for the lady's liushand,
came to the deponent's house, aiid, finding he was
not there, abused the deponent in a must violent
and outrageous manner. Between the hours of two
and daze o'clock in the morning, the same lady
and gentleman returned with the other three per-
sons, one of whomwas her mother, and the o.her her
sister. After again enquiring for her husband, the
lady abused the deponent, while the mother broke
her windows with a stick ; and the sister assisted in
the outrage, by throw in. stones: deponent then
called the watch, and they were all taken into
custody. When the deponent attended at the watch-
hou w. to give her charge against them, the mother
struck her a violent blow across the table, by which
her face was cut.

It appealed, upon the whole, that jellonsy was
the original cause of the affray, as the husband was
in the habit of visiting the prosecutrix, and negled-
ing his wife. However. the riot and assault being
positively s.vorn to, the parties, except the wi.e,
were committed, until they should procure bail.

Yesterday morning, near VOO German recruits
passed through the city, on their way to Qneen-
square, Westminster, in order to be attes►ed for
His MAJUTT'S Gcrman Legion, which will now
amount to near 6,000 eff.::tive men ; this new levy
appe.ired in high spirits, and arc good locking
yo•:ng men.

The Bohemian silver•miners, who have been tra-
velling through the c:mn•rb parts of England, have
become such rofieients in the English language, that
they have discharged their interpreter at Sheffield.

State &wen, t4e Fraterilf•Ptiera.—lnsivad of
the old-fashioned tray of railing for Toys, we are
glad to hear that the Company at the Libraries
subscribe to purchase a Ticket or Share in the pre.
sent grand ,State-Lottery. This mode is certainly
the most advantageous, as an immense Sum may
be obtained. and the Stakes soon derided.—Thus,
instead of One Person Only obtaining the Prite, the
Whole of the Subscribers are equally benefited.—
This new:fashioned mode is so prevailing, that
lioarfsar and Co. eti, Cornhill, have had irn-
m..r.le Orders, from all their Agez,t, oa the Coot,
for Tickets and Shares.

Arra3.•• u Me Order el' Me Da v.—The Nove:ty
and Grandeur of the present state Lottery Scheme
have award the notice of all classes of people.
the singular circumstance of more Capital Prizes
and less Tickets so pleases the Public, and has oc-
casio:.ed such a demand for Tickets and Shares.
that it is espefted the whole Lonely will be sold by
the 24th instant, the day the Drawing commences.
