AlocutY• JULY 13.—ANOTHIM INFAMOUS CONSPIRACY.—
On S lama:ay hist, our readcta will recollect, three poor illite-
rate Irishmen, viz. Quin, Connolly. and Iteorilan, were capitally
convicted at the Ohl Bailey, for comiterfeiting the coin of the
realm. In their defence they stated. that bring out of employ-
nient, and destitute of bre id, they were wandering about for
work, and were engaged by a man, to whom they were nil-
known, to itecept of " a job." The person iii question then
brought them to a two-pair of stairs waste room, in Angel-alley,
Moor-lane, Cripplegate, where, having given them a le•snn, lie
set them all at work rubbing piecel of metal, the size 01.0101in:16,
With sows white composition, sod left thesis, itroLr tr.. 2 pre-
tvnce. of going out to procure them something to eat and
drink. While waiting for his morn, however, the I.trit'Vr+
arrived, and they were taken into custody. l/iiring their trial
also it was aniiiiimeed to the Court, tha: the actual person who
had *in employed them, was• a;mrelienile.l. Block and I'm Iliani,
two of the officers who apprehended the prisoners. suit who
w ere bomtd over to appear upon their trial, had absented them-
selves, and had forfeited :heir rerogiii4allePA, In enn•egn.•uee
of the above circumstances, and nth rs which arose upon the
trial. the Judges directed that a special investigation of tie
affair should take place beliire the Lord Mayor, and the fol-
low Mg et ideace transpired:
John Berry was now brought tip, and charged with con-
spiring, with several others, in Ittit attempt to take away the
life of the three forcinentimied persons. Mr. Borgess stated,
that although Pelham and Brock were aware of the circum-
stance, they had not yet come into Court. These persons be
had seen in eoinpanv a eonsiderable time in the morning with
G. Vaughan, the ()Wirer, about Guildhall. 'Clic Lord Mayor
ordered awo of the M.u•shahnen to repair to the spot, and
iu-
tbrna than ol• the neei•ssity of their atteadanre. l'elliam only
could be found. Vaughan and Brock hail retreated. P.
Al.l)im ll then deposed, that iii the month of Mav last, on the
morning of that day the three Irishmen were taken into cos-
toily, lie was at:main: at the usual place in Cheapside, where
they wait for work, when Berry Caine up, and after some con-
versation engaged them to go to a house in ,‘ligel-alley, Moor-
lane, for a job. On Saturd.sy last, when witness went :o the
Old Bailey, to hear the trial of the men employed by the pri-
soner, he saw the latter waiting at the doors, when he gave an
alarm, and he instantly fled, hot was overtaken, and secured.
The Lord Mayor enquired of Pelham what lie knew of Berry,
and how he received information of the priwniers bring em-
ployed as (millers. Pelham repliod, lie knew !lathing of Berry.
Ile WAS then ;asked why he fled from 041 Bailey, and agar•
fi•ited his reeogniz mei., at the t inw too when 11cr•ry was ;mitre-
bended replied, that 'icing Brock go away, lie follow-
eil—hesiile, a man at the door or court told him lie would not
be wanted. The Lord Mayor said, he had little iloitht of the
present rase pi uving a conspiracy against the lives of innocent
men, and lie was deter ' vl tii exert every means in hi• power
to probe the case to the quirk. Ile therefore ordered Berry
unit Pelham to be conveyed to Newgate, to be kept separate,
• and again brought asp fur examination.

Tuesday Berry and Pelham, rharged with conspiring in the convic-
tion of the three Irishint.n toe coining, were again brought ty: when

Brisk, Browne, and Vaughan. Witmss knew a pahlic-hotne in Bar-
bican. where the parties were in the habit of meeting hut which was
now closed. One of the principal persons, however. it •quaintAl with
the r, inspirary, he wan in boo., of tracing. It. M•Donaell star..d.
that he was at the market, as it is called. at Kingsstreet. on the morn-

about two days previoui to the apprehension of the thre• men she let
room to two young men; she withl not say to the prisoners. She saw
the convictal men when apprehended in the room, and thought two
of them were those who took the room. The persons who did so spoke
English. [This witness. who denied any knowledre of the prisoners,
u-sia h-i ac ng pressed, knowledged that Pelham lia.l called upon her

who hired the rooms, she repaired there, but was unable to identity
them. Mr. NVestwood, of the house of Kave and Eo. stat:l, that he was
+Acquainted with Pelham (who had gone by the naints of Murphy and
Pitelinif, Brock, and Berry. They had each been with Lint respeding
bad money. Pelham confessed that he had been to the house of Mrs.
Pritchard; but it was, to aik what had become of a board fonnd
in the room when the Irishmen were apprehended. Berry denied
any share in the conspiracy; but (although he on Monday denied all
knowledge of l'elliani) he now amfessed, that on one occasion the
latter applied to him to watch Browne, who passinl counterfeit
tokens. Ile declared vehemently, he was "as innocent of the present
charge as the three 111.1 who were convicted on Saturday last."
Mr. Burgess said, that it' tine were allowtid, lie would undertake M
bring forward the must conclusive evidence of the (=notion betwoes
the two prisoners. Brock and G. Browne. The Lord Mayor said, that
the conno.ion WAS satisfactorily proved; and he could nut but consider
Pelham as a principal, while Ilene had been sworn to as a party; and
ordered the prisoners to he remanded, and separately confined.
Brock, the companion of Pelham, Berry, George Brown and
Vaughan. was on Wednesday morning apprehended in bed, at a
house in Fell-street. Ile was brought before the Lord Mayor at an
early hour, and underwent a private examination which lasted two
hours. In the course of this proceeding, his identity was clearly rs'3-
!dished, and lie offered to give certain information to the Lord Mayor
upon the subject.
Pelham, already in custody, has also confessed his guilty particips-
tion with a number of other compiramcs; and, in a long letter, has
detailed to his Lordship some of the principal facts of the system of his
partners in guilt, and promised to discli(se the whote.
White tile otlicer also, who apprehended Broek. gave some impor-
tant information; in consequence of which. the Lord Mayor ordered
several other persons disceireird to have been connected with the parti..l
at preae.it in custody, to he seemed.
lirock was afterwards put to the bar in a public manner; when he
was infonited by the Lord Mayor, that he was in possession of milli-
cient infiwneition at chew, that he was not only a coiner of bad moony,
but that he was a principal in employing the three men who haul been
convicted of that offence on Saturday In t, with a view of obtaining a
reward fur truth pretended service to the justice of the country. Bride:
these eircainnan.vs, lie felt it his duty to reatrta l him for further cx-
runination.

llrock then !lave to gate. that he NO gulch information to
conimonicate, if his Lordsli.2 w,iuld suipeati his commitment, and
hear him in private.
The Lord Mayor said. he could not hear him at present, but that
wauld bz a mats 'l' of consideration hereafter.

The prisoner w.ti thereistre rentanthrl. and ordered to be kept in a
separate apartment from all other persons.

those employed by Messrs. Boyd% and litoekbanks, did not notice it as
ally thing particular, only consitl4-ring that the men were early at busi-
ness; he therefore made but slight obsenation of the psrums of the
men.
\Viten he heard of the robbery of the premiwis, then he had no
detuin bur he saw it perpetrated, and gave a a...se:lin:on of the persons
of the men us nearly as he could recollect. lln that being represented
at the office, they were all suspected to be well known characters, end
partieulailv a person of the name ofJohn Hunt ; and. in consequence,
l'auntom knowing a house where Hunt frequented, took the neighbour
to it, and sent hint in among a number al man who were araembled
there; when he triad upon Hunt as mumbling one of the robbers.
Taunton, in consequence, took Runt into eustotly, and lie underwent
an examination on Friday evening ; when the neighbour attended, but
who could only say he resembled one of the robbers, and could not
state he believed him to be the man. The tirene? haring been com-
mitted in the City of London, he was sent. obe examined 14.4f0re the
Lord Mayor, which took place on Saturday, when there being no otiam
evidence, anal nothing found upon Hunt relating to the robbery, he

was discharged.
The carman who drove the cart which cent fined the pieces of broad
cloth was traced out to go to the neighbourhood of t.ethnal Green;
but where the cloth was arepositcd has not been ascertained. The car-
man Inc. been taken into custody ; but he denies all knowledge of the
robbers. or where they deposited the cloth; he says he was met in the
neighbourhood of Bethnal Green by a covered cart, the cloth was taken
ont of his cart and put into that. Ills account of the transaction is not
believed; he was seen driving fl cart with the cloth in it by a =Aim
who is cmployod by the samelpia•ter, and he did not report to his
master that jolt, or account tog}lim for any money he hail received
for it.
It.is a remarkable and distressing t irciunstance. that the saute pro-
mises belonging to Messrs. Hovels and Brockbank were broke open
about two months since and robbed by similar means of broad cloths
to the smug of upwards of
