MANSION-nous e.--. Yesterday Stephen Buckneli
end Sarah franticly were again brought bef.re the
Lotto MAVOit, charged with privately stealing ha-
berdashery from their employers to a considerable
amount. It appeared the prisoner Bucknell acted
porter or warehouseman to Messrs. Simmons, Pal-
lister, and Wilkinson, wholesale warehousemen,
No. 3c, St. Paul's Church-yard ; and the prisoner
\Yardley, as cook-maid to Mr. Blundlc„ haberdasher,
in Bishopsgate-street. This robbery was miraculously
found out, else it might have been carried on to a
much greater extent.

Mr.Thlendle having given his conk leave to go
out on
.Sunday, by chance discovered in the kitchen
drawer a small parcel, containing new purses, &e.&c.
all of which had the private mark of Simmons and
Company, which he knew, from having had
goods from them, and knowing their porter wasac-
(painted with his cook, suspected how they came
there, and upon examining one of the private marks
was convinced of the justness of his suspicions.
Upon sending for an officer apd searching her box
a great many shawls, lace, and other goods were touted
in it, the property of her master, some.of the lace of
ialue of a guinea a yard. Mr. Mister and Mr.
Wilkinson attended, and told his Lordship that ahont
three months since the Prisoner Bucknell had been
very strongly recommended to them from the coun-
try to get him a situation, as a young nun Of very
respectable connections; tlett frOtn that they hal
taken great-pains to recommend him, and at last an
opportunity offering, they had taken him into their
house, assuring him of every encouragement while
he continued to deserve it. That they had no reason
to suspect him till this discovery, when a constable
searching him and his box, found upon hiM several
false keys, which opened their warehouse, wine cel-
11r, and trunks in the -house, from which goods of
every description were taken ; likewise on his per-
son a number- of paembrokerfr duplicates fir good 4
stolen. Several of the pawnbrokers attended with
the property, which was sworn to, amounting to
abot e 2001. The Prisoners said nothing in then'
defence.-,-They were remanded for further exami•
nation.

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday Elizabeth Pollard was
examined a second time. A number of persons al-
tended, whom she had honoured with claims of affi-
nity, and -whom she had visited at'-different. times;
amongst them was a servant of Mr, Parker, Hop-fac-
tor, in Union-street, from whose statement it qpear-
ed, that the prisoner -called .at Mr. Parker's house, a
few Sundays since, and enquired for Mr. Parker ; on
being informed he was not at home, she expressed
great disappointment at not being fOrtunate enough
to meet her brother, and pleading fatigue,, said, she
would sit down and rest herself a few minutes, and.
going into-the parlour, she desired the servant would
get her a glass of table-beer; she did so, and a few
minutes after, hearing her coming down stairs, she
went to meet her: She said she would stay no longer,
and desired the witness would open the door; the
witness let her out, and. on going into the parlour
immediately afterwards; she dis-covered, that of four
table spoons,w hie!) were lying on the sideboard when
the prisoner came in, she had conceived an affeetion
for two.

Several other persons recognized her, but 23 they
did not reside in Siirrey, their depositions were not
taken. Amongst them was Mr. Keene, of Tavistock-
street, Covent;Garden, at whose house the prisoner,
on the credit of being Mrs. Keene's sister, had 'bor-
rowed a pair of table spoons and a silver pepper-box,
with a shawl of Mrs. Keene's to wrap them in. She
has conferred similAr marks of affeaion on several
other relations. She is a genteel young woman, about
19 years old, was always remarkably well dressed
and generally seleded Sunday for visiting her friends,
that :being the day least likely to find them at home.
She was remanded for another examination on Wed-
nesday next.
