POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This day.

BOW-STREET.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY
FALSE PRETENCES.—Augustine Wm. Beauclerk Butler,
was brought up on remand, charged with ob'aining £2J
by false pretences.
The prosecutor, it will be recollected, deposited £2O with
the prisoner, as security, on his taking the service of clerk
to the prisoner, he representing himself to be a clergyman
and secretary to the Calvery Mission. The prosecutor said
he had been entirely deceived, and that as be could not
get back his £2O he had given the prisoner into custoly,
Mr Vaughan asked if there was any evidence to prove
the falsi y of the pristo2er's representations.
Police Sergeant Di uscovich, 30 A, said—l took the pri-
soner into custody on the 15th, at the corner c f Vige-street
I told him who I was, and the nature of the charge. He
said, " Very well, I'll go with you, but I can't see that
exa-
Mr
Wharton has any cause to complain." Sce the last
mination I made inquiries, and I find there are several
persons whom he has victimised.
Mr Vaughan—Have you made any inquiries about his
being a clergyman ?
Witness—l have searched the Clergy List, and I cannot
dad such a name as Beauclerk Butler.
Mr Vaughan—Could you find such a place as the Jeru-
salem University or the Calvery Mission ?
Witness—No, sir, I could not. The circular I produce
relative to it was given to me by a genileman now in court.
Prisoner—That is an old one, of three years' date.
Mr Vaughan—Did you find out the residence of the
prisoner ?
Witness—Yes, sir; No. 7, Belgrave-street, South. I
also discovered that he had been living at 5, Great College •
street, Westminster, and also at No. 90, Gloucester-street,
Queen's-zquare, from which he went away £5O in debt. I
have obtained the returns I now produce from the pri-
soner's " office."
The letters were hero opened by Mr Burnaby, the chief
clerk, and read. One was from a clergyman of the Church
of England to subscribe to the Jerusalem Mission, and the
others were principally from young men offering their
services as clerk and upder secretaries.
Mr Vaughan—Do you wish to ask the witness any ques-
tions ?
Prisoner —No, sir, as I most likely shall have to appear
elsewhere, I shall reserve my defence:
Edward 'Midair, clerk to Mr Beresford, of 2, Pump-
court, Temple, said—About the middle of July the prisoner
came and asked if we had a room to let, as he waned one
for the office of the Jerusalem College. He told me he was
a clergyman of the Church of England.
Prisoner—That I distinctly deny. I never said such a
