QUEEN.SQUAtE.

Yesterday John Lawton was brought up for final
examination, charged on suspicion of stealing from
the dwelling-house of Mr. Edward Cowley, of
No. 11, Cadogan•street, Chelsea, an opera-glass,
formerly belonging to Marshal Dumont, and an an-
tique gold ring.
Mr. Wooler attended for the prisoner.
Mr. Cowley said that he had no further evidence
to offer against the prisoner, nor could It. trace the
property, and he must therefore abandon the charge
of robbery. He would, however, charge the pri-
soner with aiding and abetting his master, who styled
himself the lion. Adolphus Frederick Montmorency
O'Brien Prendeville, by courtesy ealled Lord Glen-
cairn, in swindling him out of turns of money,
clothes, and board: even the very clothes the pri•
toner had on his back he Aave him 11. to 'pay for,
supposing his master was the man he represented
himself to be.

Mr. OREGORIE desired Mr. Cowley to state what
connexion there was between the Hon. Adolphus,
&c. and the prisoner.
Mr. Cowley said that about the 10th of October
last the prisoner's master, as he appeared, was in-
troduced to him, when be told him a long story of
his misfortunes, and his present want of cash; he
had taken a great part in the late French Revolu-
tion, and had been opposed to the family of Mont-
morency in France, and he was fearful of being
given up to the present French Government.
Among►t his numerous titles he said he was a titu-
lar 'White knight of Ireland, and that his family
name was O'Brien. He also said that he had left
his horses, which had come from Overton-hall, in
Denbighshire, the seat of his nunt, Mrs. Evans, at
a livery-stable in Bryenston-street, and they were
knocked up. So well did he tell his story, that he
believed him, and he•got into his debt for clothes,
money, and diet, about 601., and then absconded.
Mr. GREGORIE asked him if he could prove that
he was not the person he represented himself to
be 2—Mr. Cowley said that there was a gentleman
of the name of Westall, who lived near the Man-
sion-house,' who was served a similar trick by the
prisoner's master about two years ago, and who
mentioned the circumstance to him.

Mr. GREGORIE asked why he continued to supply
him with money after being cautioned?--Mr.
Cowley said that Mr. \Vestal' merely considered him
to have acted in an ungrateful manner : he did not
take it in the same light as he did.
Mr. GREGoutE—But it appears you were cad-
tinned ? Mr. Cowley—Yes, but Mr. Westall con-
sidered him a very entertaining man,and was fond of
his company. He is certainly a man of great in-
formation : he can speak all the European languages,
and also all the Asiatic languages.
It further appeared from Mr. Cowley's statement
that the prisoner's master had represented himself
as a writer in " Blackwood's Magazine," under the
signature of Donaghne; that he had written a poem
called the " Shipwreck," and ,was the author of two
novels, one called the " 13roken Heart," and the
other " First Love," and that he was at present en-
gaged on a work called the " History of Persia,"
which was to be written in the Persian language.
The prisoner at the bar had confirmed all his master's
statemcnts,which induced him to advance the money,
thinking it would all be right.
Mr. GRE4101111: said, that if he hail looked in
Dcbretes Peerage he wouid have found out his
mistake.

Mr. Cowley said • it was no wonder he was de-
ceived, for the lion. Augustus, &c., had deceived
cleverer men than be : he had imposed upon the
keeper of the British Museum, and got a free ad-
mission there for six months, and that morning he
had received a letter from a tradesman, stating that
the prisoner had obtained goods from him on the
representation he had made about his master: all he
%ranted was to find out the Hon. Mr. Augustus, &c.
Mr. GREGORIE did not think he could make ont
a case against the prisoner, and he must therefore
discharge him.

A genteel -looking young man was in attendance,
who had seen a report of the first part of the pro-
ceedings in some of the newspapers, who said that
there were a number of charges against the prisoner's
master at Calais, where he had been imprisoned.
During the time he was there he was very ill, or
pretended to be so, and made his will. He left the
young man SOU and a castle in England, which he
desired him to take possession of immediately on
his decease; and be also left considerable sums of
money to persons he got acquainted with at Calais.

MARLIJOBOUGILSTREET.
A householder in the parish of St. James appeared
before Mr. Ron, thi sitting Magistrate, to answer a
summons served upon him by the parish authorities,
to show cause why he refused to pay a sum due by
him for poor-rate.; and in answer to the demand
the defendant said, that owing to great losses he
had sustained in business and consequent embarras.
ment, he was driven lately to the necessity (having
been arrested and thrown into a prison for debt) of
taking the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act,
and the amount of rate now demanded having been
due at the time he petitioned the Insolvent Court,
he had that debt inserted with all his other debts in
his schedule, and consequently having been die•
charged from that as
:well as from all his other debts,
the parish had,no claim upon him.
The Magistrate said, that if tharate were not paid,
and that the collector applied for a warrant of dis-
tress to enforce it, he (Mr. Roe) had no power to
refuse it. The collector most undoubtedly should
apply for a distress warrant, unless the rate should
be paid within a given time, for he should insist on
the payment.

The- defendant still expressed his determination
to resist the payment, having, he said, both law and
justice on his side, and with this determination he
quitted the office.

Yesterday, Jeremiah Foy, apparently about 35
years of age, and dressed as it labourer, was brought
up on a warrant, which had been granted against
him gratuitously by 11. DvEu, Eui., and charged with
violating the person of Mary Croley, a poor Irish
girl, about sixteen years of age.
The prosectstrix and prisoner reside next dcor to
each other, in Angel-court, king-street, Soho, and
from the evidence of the former, it appeared that
on the night of Tuesday last the prisoner followed
the girl into an outhouse, where he committed the
offence. On some one coming into the yard for a
pitcher of water, the prisoner made a precipitate
retreat.

Mr. ROE inquired of the girl if she had' stated
the nature of the offence to any other person ?
The prasecutrixt who was a long time before she
could comprehend the Magistrate's question, at
length said that she had told her rnstress, but not
before the latter had interrogated her upon the sub-
ject, which the mistress did In consequence of the
woman who heard the prosecutrix scream and saw
the man retreat, making her acquainted with that
fact.

Mr. Rou asked the girl bow it was she had not

come to the office sooner, or informed any persoltel
the affair until actually interrogated by her mistress?
The prosecutrix repUed that she was ashamed to
tell any one of the circumstance.
The prisoner, on being asked what he had to sl'
exclaimed—" Oh, faith, it was not me a 41411.1;
it was Tim O'Donnelly." -
Mr. Ron said that there Rasa strong atairPon
against the prisoner; but as there might bi aOw
tion of doubt as to identity, be should remised him
until to-morrow (this day), in order that 'hots
tendance of the woman who was said to hoer
into the yard at the time of the occurrence saight
be obtained.
