OBTAINING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS BY FALSE PRE-
TENCES.—EIizabeth Hemsley, who described herself as a
cook, of Litehficld-street, Rugeloy, Staffordshire, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with unlawfully endeavour-
ing to procure charitable contributions under false and
fraudulent pretences.

Mr. William Copeland, of the firm of Copeland and Co.,
china warehousemen, Staffordshire and New Bond-etreet,
said that on. tho 15th of April last the prisoner came to his
place of business, 16, New Bond-street, and told him a very
plausible tale, to the effect that she had been housekeeper
to Mr. Spode, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, that she had come
up to London to see her brother off who was going abroad,
that her pocket had been picked at the railway station, and
that in consequence she was without means, and asked
him to assist her. She asked for 155., but he gave her
a sovereign, believing her story to be true. He after-
wards wrote to Mr. Spode, and received a letter
from which it appeared that
some time ago in his service, but
consequence, of her misconduct, and

been m a n
that she had been in gaol more than once, atd had subse-
quently much annoyed Mr. Spode. He (Mr. Copeland)
subsequently made inquiries, and ascertained that the pri-
soner had been to all the Staffordshire families in town
with a similar tale, obtaining and endeavouring to obtain
charitable contributions. An advertisement was then
inserted in some of the newspapers, cautioning the public
against the prisoner. Afterwards seeing a report in a local
newspaper of a case before Mr. Mansfield, in which it ap-
peared that the prisoner had by a similar tale to that told
him (Mr. Copeland) obtained money from Col. Wetherall,
he communicated with tie police, and on the prisoner
being liberated from prism, after undergoing the punish-
ment imposed by Mr. Mansfield, she was again taken into
custody.

Henry Dawson, 301 A, said there were several other
cases against the prisoner. •

In answer to Mr. Tyruhitt, the prisoner said she had no
questions to ask.

Dawson said that he apprehended the prisoner that
evening on her coming out of the Westminster Bridewell,
where she had been undergoing three months' imprison-
ment. He told her that she was charged with obtaining
£1 from Mr. Copeland, of Now Bond-street, by false pre-
tences,
when she replied "Yes, I did have it, and I ex-
pected some ono here this morning for me.: He wished
for a remand.

The prisoner said she was guilty. She did borrow the
money.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether anything was said about
the money being lent?
Mr. Copeland said nothing of the kind.
The prisoner, who has been convicted at this court, and
at Marylebone, was then remanded.
