pocket-book containing several unsigned notes of the
Old Romford Bank, which filled some year, ago.
I afterwards found upon May six flash notes and an
American dollar note.
Captain Robert Card—My vessel is lying in the
West India Docks, and between four and five yester-
day I was going along near the Mint to sec about
shipping some men, and as I was looking about
Francis came up and asked me whether that was not
the place in which they took seamen. We got some-
how into conversation, and he asked me to have
something to drink, and I said I didn't care if I did,
and so we went into the public-house together.
Alderman CARTER—And did you never see him
before ? Witness—Never, but I considered him to
he a gentleman.—(Laughter.) Soon after we went
in the other prisoners walked in, and sat down at
the other side of me, and we very soon had beer,
and brandy and water, and pipes. We had a good
deal of conversation ; one of the gentlemen said he
had just come from America, where he had been six-
teen years, and where an uncle of his, who had lately
died, had left him all his property, about getting of
possession of which he had come over to England.
He pulled out his pocket-book to look for his lawyer's
bill, and I saw some bank-notes, and what appeared
to me to be gold in his hands, and the other gentle-
man also pulled out a pocket-book and what looked
like bank-notes and gold, and said confidently to me,
" if you have any sum of money show it, to certify
to the gentleman that he is in respectable company.
—(Laughter.) I had three bank-notes in my pocket-
, book and several sovereigns, and I pulled them out,
and at that moment in walked the officer.
Alderman CARTER—To whom you are, certainly,
very much obliged.
Witness—Well, I do believe I am ; but I really
thought they were real gentlemen.
Mr. Hobler (for May)—Well, captain, you have
lost nothing, have you ?
Witness (having at the desire of Alderman Carter,
examined his pocket-book)—I am all right. I never let
anything out of my hand, but I didn't think there
was the least danger near.
Alderman CARTER—Let some of our officers give
Captain Card a little information about his new
friends.

Funnall (the detective)—l have known the pri-
soner Francis eight years. Five years ago he was
transported for ten years, but in consequence of severe
illness and the breaking out of sores over his body the

punishment was commuted to imprisonment for two
years. I have known May three years to be the as-
sociate of thieves and engaged in picking up " flat"
captains. He once escaped from me.
Spittle (the detective)--I believe the two prisoners
to have been parties concerned in the robbery 0f..51.
in Bank of England notes a short time ago.
Scott and Brett (also detective officers) stated that
they knew the prisoners to be constantly engaged in
robbing captains and sailors about the neighbourhood
in which they were apprehended.
Alderman CARTER said it was quite evident that
the prisoners were experienced hands, and that if
Evans, the officer, had not interrupted their plans the
captain would have had cause to regret the easy way
in which he obtained introduction to the acquaintance
of the " gentlemen" of London.—(Laughter.)
The ALDERMAN then sentenced eachlof the prisoners
to imprisonment and hard labour as rogues and vaga-
bonds for six weeks.
