to exhibit all the externals of position and wealth pertaining
to an heiress at the expense of the'r credulity. She stands
committed upon three charges of obtaining jewelry and other
valuables, and, no doubt, others will be brought forward.
There is one very peculiar charge in the calendar, in which a
person named Anderson, and a quack doctor who goes by the
name of Dr Henery, are charged, under a recent statute,
with misdemeanour in having threatened to publish a certain
libellous matter concerning Mr Montagu Clark, a captain in
the army,who had impudently got into the hands of the de-
fendant Henery, with a view to extort money. There is
alto another peculiar charge of fratid against a prisoner
named Augustine William Beauclerk, who describes him.
self as a member of the Christian Church of Christ of Jeru-
salem, who is accused of obtaining money by the false re-
presentation that he was under-secretary to the Bishop of
London, and who also represented himself to bo "special
messenger" to Cardinal Wiseman, Besides these charges
of fraud there is one of the same description against two
persons named De Witt and Wright, the charge against
them being one of obtaining a very largo quantity of wine,
of the value of many thousands of pounds, by means of
fraud and forgery.
The Recorder charged the grand jury, and in the course
of his observations referred to some of the above cases, and
very shortly after the trials commenced.
Ed ward Fuller, engineer, was indicted for stealing two
brushes and a piece of flannel, the property of the London
and South Western Railway Company. There was also a
charge against Thomas Smith of receiving the said pro-
perty, well knowing it to have been stolen,but did not sur-
render to his bail.

The evidence to support the indictment having been
heard,
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.

Mr ft.ibton, who appeared for the prosecution, said three
were two other indictments against the prisoner, but a
Smith bad not surrendered he had to ask that sentence
might be postponed until next session.
The Recorder said it had been stated that a quantity of
property had been found at the prisoner's house, he should
like to know of what that property consisted.
Mr Itibton said the property consisted of a great many
things, such as oil, grease, So., in weight exceeding a ton.
It was discovered at Cudham, in Kent, where the prisoner
occupied a small farm, under the nama of Fidler. The farm
was managed for the prisoner by the man Smtth, to whom
he paid X 1 a week, but as this person was not then in
court he thought if the proceedings with respect to other
indictments were postponed he had no doubt he would be
in attendance.

The Recorder asked if the man Smith was in an 3 way
prevented at tending to-day.

Mr Ribton said he was in custody on another charge.

The learned gentleman engaged to defend Smith said,
his client was out shooting, and some charge respecting the
identity of a gun prevented his attendance that day.
The Recorder, under the circumstances, postponed pass-
ing sentence this Session.
