FORTUNE HUNTERS!

Yesterday, Mown Nagle., Benjamin !roe'ley, Joha Wicks,
Menai Reekhawr, ►nd Ass Deena, who were taken into ens•
Sody on the preceding evening, were brought before the
Sitting ALDLt7IAw, by Nattier, the City Marshal.
Mr Nattier stated, that in consequence of an information
which he had received, that a number of persons were cot.
lected together, and engaged in drawing an illegal Lottery,
or Little-Go, at a house is Newgate-street, he went to the
home pointed out to him, which prweLd to be a Lottery
Office, hiring the name of Hughes we r the door; on gainiug
admission, which be did without difficulty, he immediately
proceeded up stairs, w►ere, in a back room on the first fluor,
he discovered the Primates silting round a table, 041 which
lay some money, and a neenber of loose papta, with figures
on them ; he also found sonic books, which apparently re I.iled
to Lottery transactions. On the person of one of the Priam-
en, he found C•5l. and another bad a qaantity of halfpence In
her apron. Nothing farther, however, appearing to criminate
the Prisoner,, Mr. Kn •rr, oho attended on their ts half,
submitted to the Magistrates, that there were no grounds fur
convicting them
The AL DIIRMAII Obse/Ved, it was fortnnate for the Pri-
soners that the evidence wad au imperfect ; as to that cir-
cumstance they were indebted fur their escape. He had no
doubt, in his own mind, of their having been engaged in an
illegal traussetios, and be loped the narrow escape they bed
now had, would operate as a caution, to prevent their en-
;Alice iu such practices in future. They were then dis-
missed.
