a t
the
the streets a few nights since cerrying a bulky sack,
which was found to contain the fragments of a large
copper, which had been broken into pieces to be dis-
posed of as old metal, atd, atter lodging him in the
itation•house, the sergeant proceeded to the prisoner's
residence, in Mansfield-street, Kingsland-road, upon
entering which be discovered that all the prop arty in
the place, including even a quantity of coals, had been
packed up and placed in readiness for immediate re-
moval. The prisoner was at that time simply charged
with stealing the copper, which wes identified by the
landlord of the house es his property, but he was sub-
sequently recognised as having practised a long-
continued series of frauds upon the secretaries of dif-
ferent loan societies and other persona, several of whom
were now in attendance to prefer chargt3 agrinst him.
Jobn Norris, secretary of a society celled the Al-
bion, deposed that on the 23d of August last the
prisoner called at his office in Abbey-street, Bethnel.-
green and after stating his name to h Charles
Stephens, and describing himself as: in business as a
carpenter in the Hackney-road, applied for an ad-
vance of four guineas, and at the same time tendered
as surety for its repayment a Mr. Will;am Pearson,
of Sherborn-cottages, Islington. Having ascertained
upon inquiry that both parties to the transaction re-
sided at the places described, and were persons of
apparent respectability, the amount required was paid
at once to the prisoner, but it was shortly alter dis-
covered that both of them had given fictitious names,
and that both had also absconded about the same
time.

William Hudeburgh, secretary of another asso-
ciation of the same description in Pollard's-row,
Bethnal-green, also proved that on the 10th of the
same month as in the preceding ca3e the prisoner had
obtained a sum of 31. 103. in the same name and
under almost identical circumstances to those just
detailed.

Sergeant Bruce stated that be should be able to
establish numerous other charges of a like description
against the prisoner, and it had also been ascertlinod
that he had carried on an extensive system of frauds
upon tradesmen for a long time past, in the course of
which he had succeeded in obt,ining a chronometer
and clock from a watchmaker in the Hackney-'-oad,
to whom he gave the name and address of a Mr.
Morris, in Gifford-street, Hoxton, and from Messrs.
Smith and Co., of the New North-road, , besides two
casks of ale from a brewer at Walworth, under the
fictitious name of Bagster.
Hayward, one of the warrant-officers, stated that
he had known the prisoner, whose real name wig
William Wilson, for the lest twelve years, and that he
had been in custody some time since at this court,
on which occasion he was committed, convicted, and
sentenced to a lengthened term of imprisonment.
On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner
at once admitted that he had received the several sums
referred to in the evidence of the witnesses, but con-
tended that no false pretence whatever had been made
out, as he had in each instance given his proper ad-
dress for the time being, and that the vir, tons persons
had been perfectly satisfied with the result of the in-
quiries-they had thought proper to institute with re-
gurd to him.
