PobtcA,

Bow-STREET.--Yesterday was the day appointed
for Isaac DenvOerry, the coachman, to undergo a re-
examination on a charge of a violent outrage upo4
Maigaret West, in a stable-yard in Duke-street,
Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr. Andrews, the Surgeon,
who is appointed by the Magistrates to attend hcr,
appeared at the Office, before Mr. Reit), and stated
that he did not consider the girl to be insa proper
state to attend the office to give- evidence against the
Prisoner; in consequence of which, ibtit,examii,a-
tion was postponed to a future day,..l.Vbeta the girl,
it is hoped, will be able to attend.
The young man who is in custody for uttering
an altered one-pound Bunk note, at tite Cecil-street
Coffee-house, .-was 'fully cotntuitted for trial.
On the .QsLii of last month, a woman, genteelly
dressedi went to the shop of Mr. Thomp,nn; in
New-street, Covent-Garden, and purchased linen
to the amount of li. Los. in payment for which she
tendered a 51. vote, purporting to bu an Ipswich
and Suffolk Bank note; he hesitated taking it,
observing, he did not like to take country bank
notes ; but the woman appearing respectable, and
readily giving her name and, address, which she
said was Taylor, at No. 15, Paddington, and the
1, note being payable in London, heat length gave her

change. _
The following day he took the note, as die&ed,
for payment, to St. Michael's-alley, Cornhifl, but
found the house shut up, and could not learn what
had become of the people who lived in it. He
then went as directed by the woman to the sup-
posed resiaente, hut could not find any such per-
son. On Wednesday he saw the woman in the
street, and had her taken into custody, and con-
veyed to Bow-street Office, .where she underwent
an examination, and was committed for a -further
examination. _ _ _

It seems there has bee 9, and is still in circulation,
a number of these notes. Two men were tried a
short time since for uttering them, and acquitted,
they proving in their„defence, that the notes were
signed by " Ralph Widen," and that there was such-
a man, although he could not be found.
The Jude, who tried them, of course determined
that it was not a forgery, nor a fraud, as the man
who took the notes did it at his own risk, and the
party had not used due precaution to ascertain whe-
ther the notes were good or not, and that the ease
was only a matter of debt due from Ralph Malden
to the holder of them, the Prisoner not having used
an)i persuasive language to the Prosecutor to induce
him to take them, or to assure him of their good-
ness, which would make it a traud. It will depend
entirely upon the language that passed between this
woman and Mr. Thompson, when she uttered the
note, upon the trial, whether it will be deemed a
fraud or not.

MANSION-HOUSE, APRIL 21.-11!oses Francis was
dharged by Abraham Levy with stealing several
articles of wearing apparel, amounting to VOL out of
his lodgings. It appeared that both the Pr!sutler
and Prosecutor were Jews, natives of Poland, and
came to this country twice a year to buy old clothes.
In summer they bought articles lit for winter, and
in winter those fit for summer, and at the end of
each season they returned- to Poland. Neither of
them could speak English sufficiently to be under-
stood. P. famous pugilist attended as interpreter..-.
Levy stated, that about two weeks back he went to
the casuistry. He locked his room door, and brought
up his landlady to see-that It was secure, and told
het he the room as much in nig posses-
sion as if he actually slept in it, and that when he
came, back from the country, he ts ould pay what-
ever rent was due, which she -agreed to. Whilst he
was gone, the Prisoner was seen coming out of his
room. He also was a lodger in the house. His
landlady hearing of it, sent for a watchman, who
took the Prisoner to the watch-house; he produced
a key to the officer of the watch, and said the Wit-
ness had left it with him to look atter his goods, and
the key. being tried to the lock of the door, and
opening it, ho was discharged. On the Witness re-
turtling to town, he found wearing apparel to the
amountof eel. gone.
The Prisoner absconded, and was not taken into
custody until yesterday, when the key 'he had pro-
duced'at the watch-house .was found on him, but
none of the wearing apparel has yet been found.
The LORD MAYOR remanded him for further exa-
mination, and desired the officers to seek for the
goods stolen.
Imagination could not piattre two more grotesque
figures, they were dressed in the fashion of their
country, with extretnolong, black beards, and skull
caps.
Moue, the boy who was examined on Wednes-
day on a charge of: robbing his masters Mr. Morris,
a pawn-broker and jeweller, of several diamond
trinkets, &c. was yesterday brought up fbr re-es-
amination. In addition to what was stated on Wed-
nesday, it appeared from the further statement of
Mr. Mortis, that the youngster was in the habit of
indulging his palate every day at the shops of the
neighbouring pastry-cooks with pastries, jellies,
bine mange, ice-creams, and other dainties, at his
master's expence, frequently to the amouet of half•
a-crown per clay, and that he usually-, had a bon.
bouche of AVestphalia ham to stimulate his appetite
for breakfast, and in the course of the day usually
took, a few glasses of Port wine to cheer his spirits,
and support him under the fatigues of his occupa-
tion. He had complied with the injunclion of the,
Loan MAYOR tin Wednesday, by furnishing a cata-
logue of all his thefts, during the seven weeks of
his employment, which influenced the mind of his
master to lenity, and he signified his readiness to
withdraw the prosecution, on mutation of the
youngster being sent to sea. To thin the boy gladly
assented, and the Loan MAYOR accordingly utdered
him t; be taken on board the Tender.

bionglit up, charged with having attempted to eo7n.
mit a rape on 'thebody of Elizabeth Webb, a beau.
[lfni young girl, in the service of Mr. Keene. It
appeared by the statement ot theyoung girl, that on
Sunday morning last, during the absence of the fa-
mily, he came to hper matter's house, and then
finding her alone, attempted by lotto to violate her
chastity ; but fortunately she was enabled, frotti the

in conjunction with two sureties, for his appearance
to answer to the above charge at the next Quarter
Sessions. . -

,liiCKPOCK wrs.-.‘-On Sa tnrday, about t welveo'cleCks
as Lieut. Kelly, of his Majesty's Ship the Triumph,
was posing along Holborn, near Middle-raw, he
was surrounded by one of those daring gangs of
pickpockets who still infest the streets of London,
and robbed of his pocket-hook, containing sank
Notes to the amount of 4501. and naval papers of
considerable importance.
It is Supposed the villains effeaed the robbery in
the following manner :7--One of them trod 1.1;:on his
heel, and on his turning about, appeared very polite-
ly to beg his pardon ; while this pretended apology
was making, it caused Lieutenant Kay to stop a
little, and he found himself surrounded by four, or
five men, and soon atter missed his pocket-book.—
The papers it contained consisted of the testimonial*
from, the different Admirals he had terved under,
letters of recommendation, his commission, and
other papers of importance. He has been in a very
low desponding way ever since, .in consequence of
the robbery . •
We understand some Gentlemen are' aboilt to
•
establish a Society; by subscription, to reward the
Officers of the Police for the apprehension of pick-
pockets and other robbers, for whom no. re-
ward is allowed, by Ati of Parliament ; the condita
Of the pickpockets, in particular, have been so very.

t A Singtdar instance of canine sagacity occurred a
