WORSHIP-STREET.

.....
Charlet liolinrorth, the youth who last week underwent an ex.
amination on serval charges or awinelling, was again brought up
yesterday. The number of applicants on this occasion was treble
those or t'te preceding day, and the office was so excessively crowded
and heated that Mr. Twyroab caused all the windows and doors
or it to be placed wide open. The prisonsr was not so genteelly
dressed as nn the previous occasion, and although affecting const.
derable indifference, he appeared to be suffering great anxiety.
Mr. Smiteer, the boot and shoe maker, repeated his evidence,
' and Mr. Leah, watchmaker, in Bath-street, City-road, identified
the water which he had lost.

several keepers of lodging-houses gave teatimcny as to the pri-
soner hsving engaged lodgings at their houses, anti only occupied
the m two or three days, during. which time several tradespeople
used to bring almost every description of goods, and on the prisoner
obtaining secure possession of them, he quietly decamped. His
person was most positively sworn to by all these individuals.
Representivea of the houses of Messrs. Jones land Watkins
Hishopsgate.street; Messrs. Clementi ; Mr. Winn, of (bawd'.
street ; Mr. Corse, of Shoreditch, and a variety of other houses, at.
tended. and their evidence went to prove distinct sets cf swindling,
under the assumed names of Clarke, Johnson, Smith, &c. So eon.
elusive was their evidence, every article on the person of the prisoner
was id -stifled and claimed by the tradespeople in attendance. From
one he had obtained his coat and waistcoat ; from another a quan-
tity of shirts ; a third had supplied his hat and travelling cap ; a
fourth his trousers and several fancy waistcoats; many of which
articles were made with great have and delivered in a hurry, the
prisoner having ordered them in a great bustle, to enable him to at-
tend some " conversazione," or musical party. On one occasion—
that of Mr. Corse-,the prisoner, in consequence of his beings few
moments too late in bringing home the clothes he had ordered, flew
muss violent passion, and ured the most outrageous language, for
what he called his inattention.

Mr Twv F Nip, finding the cases so numerous, directed five or
six of the principil parties to attend to.morrow (this tiny) and have
their evidence taken dnwn by the clerk ; the remainder might be
taken on Saturday, and when the evidence was complete, he would
appoint a day for final decision.
UNION HALL.

Yeste►day a yourg man, named Thomas Mil, was brought up
for final examination, charged with robbing a gentleman named
Luck of NU. There was another person concerned in the robbery,
wisi is not yet in custody.
The complainant, it appeared. had been drinking in several
public-houses on the right of the 7th instant in his way home to
Camberwell, in one of which he met the prisoner, who claimed an
acquaintance with him, and offered his services to escort him home,
which were accepted, and they both set out together. In the way,
prisoner proposed to call ttpon a friend, who accompanied them,
and the three proceeded onwards until they arrived at another
public house, called the Windsor Code. Into this house
Mr. Luck had occasion toga leaving the prisoner and his com-
panion outside, when he joined them they walked towards New-
ington-causeway, and on their arrival at an unfrequented part of
the road, one QC the men clapped his hand over the complainant's
mouth tei prevent him from calling out, while the other struck bins
a violent blow that caused insensibility, and while in this state he
'was robbed of W. in Bank of England and country notes._
The thieves &coped, and a day or two afterwards the prisoner,
having got drunk at a public. house, became quarrelsome, in fact
outrageous, and in the midst of his passion and frenzy dislayed
a handful of Bank Notes, offering to fight any one in the room for
all that he then exhibited. Such a command of money attracted
the notice of the Landlord, who took possession of it until the
drunken man's return to reason. In the interval information
was given at this office, when an officer who was on the look-out
for the thieves, upon seeing the notes identified them as the pro-
perty of Mr. Luck. Mr. Luck attended, and identified the pri-
soner as one of the men by whom he had been robbed.
A gentleman from Tunbridge mired that the notes now pro-
duced were paid by him to Me. Luck. The prisoner was com-
mitted.
