with obtaining by false pretences a gold watch
worth £lO 10s., £1 16s. 6d. in money, an d between
£3 and £4 in goods, the property of Caroline
Fowkes.
The prosecutrix, a genteel and ladylike looking
female, said that in July last she advertised in the
Times for the ,sit nation of companion to a la dy. or
housekeeper to an elderly lady ,or gentleman. Two
days after that she received a letter signenines
Harding, requesting her to meet him in d the Old
Kent-road. She went there accoi-Elingly, and at tw
the prisoner, who told her !hat he ha answered be r
advertieement, and from her appeara nee he had rt.,
doubt she would suit him. Ne ,said that he halt
just taken a large hotel in ti'e Isllsle of Wight-,
(Wooton, she thought), and he wan teo: a steady and
ladylike female to take charge of the household

On a second occasion she showed him her wt. itch,

with her own monoy sundry goods to th
value of about £4 f:or him, and lent him
£1 16s. 6d. in cash, which be promised to return
to her in two days. He went etway, and she never
saw anything more of him until that day, when he
fell into his own trap in the fcllowing singular
manner :—About a week ago she put another ad-
vertisement in the Times in a different name, and.
on Wednesday she received an answer signed James
Carter. Witness compared the handwt-iti.ng of that
with the former correspondence from Jtinlt 98 H aiding,
and found it to correspond exactly. Be ing liatis-
fied that it was the prisoner, she ansa Tered his
letter in a feigned hand, appointing a place of meet-
ing In the meantime she communicated N vith the
police, and prisoner was given into custody v He
was struck by surprise when he found that it was
witness who had inserted the second advertise merit,
and said if she came with him he would get hot- her
watch and money. She, however, refused to have
anything to say to him, an,i they all went to
station-house.
The prisoner here said that he- was a man of pro-
as it might go into the nov‘vspapers and in-
jure him, but if the lady would
perry, but be did not like to give .his real name a nd
address,
go with him alone
he would restore her her watch ant; the money.
When he borrowed the latter from he he went to
Birmingham on business, and had only just returned.
Mr. Burcham asked him whether he wished to
give any account of himself, or the lady's watch.
He replied that all he had to say was, he was a
man of property, and would take the lady to where
the property was.
George Holmes, 252 M, a detective officer,, said
that in consequence of information he received from
the prosecutrix, he met her by appointment that
morning, and took the prisoner into custody. He
refused to give his name and address. On search-
ing him he found a worthless watch and chain on
him, and some memorandums, apparently the ad-
dresses of servants.
Mr. Burcham remanded the prisoner until Mon-
day, to enable the police to make further inquiries.

wheat, which sold readily at the currency of this slay week.
Barley rather dearer, Beans and peas were tending down-
wards.

MANCHESTER—SEPT. 4.

demand was experienced for American wheat, which de-
clined 2d to 3d per cental. For new English the inquiry
was restricted at a reduction of 2s to 3s per qr. Flour was
in limited request, and in favour of buyers. Oats an d oat-
meal brought late rates. Beans and Indian corn were
held for quite as much money.
