TMPROVED DWELLINGS for the POOR
At the present moment, when a day of National Thanks-
giving is appointed, it cannot be out or Wace to bring before the
minds of the Christian public some of the efforts which have been
made, and are still making, to remedy the deplorable evils which
endanger both the lives and the morals of the poorer classes of
society.
The SOCIETY. for the IMPROVEMENT of the CONDITION
of the LABOURING CLASSES has now been occupied for more
than four years past with these objects :
It has built a range of Dwelling for the Industrious Classes, on
sanitary principles, at Bagnigge-wells, Gray's Inn-lane. lime
twenty-three families and thirty single women are accommodated.
It has repaired and r.ndered tit for healthy occupation four houses
in King-street and Charles-street, Drury-lane, wherein 103 working
men are accommodated.
It has built, in Gaorge-street, St. Giles's, a Model Lodging House
for working men, where 114 persons of this class find a comfortable
habitation.
It has repaired and fitted op, at Ne. 7tl, Hatton-garden, a house
for the accommodation of fifty eight females of the working-classes.
It is new building. in Streatham-street, Bloomsbury, a: range of
dwellings for mechanics and their families, wherein about 43 such
families will ;Ind good and healthy habitations.
At Tunbridge Wells it is aiding to raise a series of coliages for
agricultural labourers, of which six and a lodging-house for single
men are already completed and occupied.
Besides these various works, it is in constant correspondence with
a great number of benevolent persons in all parts of the kingdom ;
who apply for its aid i❑ the building or improvement of cottages, or
the setting-oat of cottage allotments.
In these various works it has expended, and is expending, more
than Twenty-three Thousand Pounds. For the works now in hand
a further sum of between Three and Four Thousand Pounds is needed ;
towards which the Committee now solicits the contributions of the
benevolent.
The following are the sums already subscribed towards the house
now erecting in Streatham-street :

By the operation of the earns principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
;eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a Small saving can secure
through this Society.

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.-
A certain remedy for disorders of the Pulmonary Organs—
in Difilculty of Breathing—in Redundancy of Phlegm—in Incipient
Consumption (of which Cough is the most positive indication) they
are of unerring efficacy. In Asthma and in Winter Cough they have
never been known to fail. KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are
free from every deleterious ingredient ; they may, therefore, be
taken at all times by the most delicate female and by the youngest
child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will
find them invaluable in allaying the, hoarseness and irritation inci,,;
dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a polyerftil auxiliary in
the production of melodious enunciation.

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an lie.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn fr.:m aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whorls it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but maybe read in:his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are ooclosed.
Back pamphlet has the signature of William Orlmstene, 3lershant,

llerbary, Iligheate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1446.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, en receiving two
post age stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the pest on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. Gd., er I:s., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you aro 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in year
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand' for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell youths cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye snuff I and because it cured
Ophthahnia,Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous lleadach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was au act of
oppression ; as in 1325 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Berries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date lttk February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

tended by a numerous and most influential company of
persons interested in the improvement of breeding and
farming stock. Amongst the noblemen and goatlemen
present were the Earl of Aylesford, Lord Hatherton, Sir
Francis Lawley, the Hon. Mr. Lyttelton, Mr. Spooner,
M.P., Captain Dilke, Mr. W. Matthews, Mr. Craddock,
Mr. Jesson, Mr. Lucy, the Mayor of Birmingham, Ike.
Upwards of 1,000 persons visited the Bazaar during the
day; and to this number may be added an attendanca
equally large, which will, no doubt, visit the exhibition
during the evening. This, considering the exclusive
charge, is considerably beyond the anticipations of the
managers. If the succeeding days—Wednesday, Thurs-
day, and Friday—are equally succogsful, the Birming-
ham and Midland Counties exhibition may be deemed
completely and permanently est ablUed, and there is
now every reason to
.augur that such a consummation
will be achieved.

ASSIZE IN

IVORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Der. 11.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Justice WIGJITM.&N.)
Jo/in Barnsley was indicted for., having, at Man.
cheEter, on the 14th of October last, feloniotnly cut
and wounded Jana Barnsley, his wife, with intent to
kill end murder her.

Mr. Monk prosecuted ; the prisoner was unde-
fended.

It appeared that the prisoner, who had been out of
work for some time, was addicted to drinking, and
that he was intoxicated about tea time on the day in
question. Entertaining a jealousy with regard to the
unfortunate woman (his wife), he accused her of in-
fidelity, and said to her, "No woman can love two
men at once," and immediately after he had spoken
he got up and stabbed his wife in the neck with a
table knife. They then grappled, and both fell down
the stairs, in doing which the woman was stabbed
three times in the neck. She cried out, " Don't
murder me for the sake of my child," and then the
prisoner was heard to say, " I have now finished the
job." The woman was taken to the Manchester In-
firmary, when it was found the prisoner had stabb,cl
her twice on the left side of the neck, once on the
right side, and once under the chin ; a severe cut also
was found upon the right thumb. The table knife
with which the wounds were inflicted was found in
the prisoner's room covered with blood, and on its
being shown to the prisoner at the station-house, he
said, " That's the thing with which I did the job."
The prisoner, in defence, said that he had been
drinking at Bolton, and that at the time he committed
the act he was so intoxicated he was not aware what
he was doing.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and left it to the jury
to say with what intent the prisener stabbed his wife.
The jury returned a verdict of cutling and wound-
ing, with intent to murder.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, alluded to the
fatal effects of intoxication, which had nearly caused
the prisoner to murder her whom it was his duty to
protect, and ordered sentence of death to be recorded,
intimating that that sentence would be commuted into
transportation for life.
John Nelson was charged with' being at large in
the city of Manchester without lawful excuse, before
the expiration of the term for which he was trans-
ported.
Mr. Monk conducted the-prosecution ; the prisoner
was undefended.
It appeared from the evidence of several officers
of the detective police in Manchester, that the
prisoner, under the name of John Clough, was tried
and convicted at the Borough Court of Manchester
in 1847 of a burglary committed in the house of a
haberdasher named Thomas Keats, for which he
was sentenced by the Court to be transported for
ten years; in pursuance of which sentence he was
sent as a convict to Gibraltar, from which place he
escaped in the February of the present year, and
having been advertised in the Hue and Cry, the Man •
chester police were on the look out, and succeeded in
capturing him in October last.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had been
transported under the name of James Crabtree, and
having been sent to Gibraltar, he was set at large by
the authorities at that place.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence
—fourteen years' transportation.
NISI PItIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice

TAL?OURD.)

William Smith was charged with having at Liver-
pool, on the 13th of November, forged an order for
the delivery of goods.
Mr. Simon prosecuted; the prisoner was unde-
fended.

It appeared that William Howson, who is a hosier
and hardware dealer in Paradise-street, Liverpool,
received the following note on the afternoon of Tues-
day, the 13th of November:—
Halewood,
Nov. 12, 1849,
" Robert Neilson, Esq., desires me to order from you
as under—Mr. Neilson having been informed your goods
were of first quality :—Two pair Seotch Singlets ; two
ditto drawers, woollen ;. three pair lambswool hose. If
these ore good, you may expect Mr. Neilson% orders.
I beg to ay your orders for coals would be esteemed a
favour.

"I am, sir, year obedient servant,
" E. F. WILSON.

" To Mr. How3on, Para iise-stroot.

" P.S.—You will please send them, with bill enclosed,
under cover to Mr. M'Geo, flour dealer, corner of Alice-
street, Paddington-edge-hill, before six this evening
(Tuesday). Payment will be made in the course of a
day or two."
The prosecutor, not thinking that all was right,
saw Mr. Neilson, and finding that be had not or-
dered the goods, nor authorised any person to do so
for him, a parcel was made up, and directed to
M'Gee's, and an officer was placed to watch in a
concealed part of the shop. Shortly after the pri-
soner called, and asked if there was a parcel for
him ; to which Mrs. M'Gee replied that there was a
parcel for Mr. Robert Neilson, and then the prisoner
said, " That's me." Mrs. M'Gee then delivered the
parcel to him, which he carried off, but was imme-
diately pursued, and brought back by the officer who
was in hiding.
His LORDS HIP summed up.
Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—twelve months' im-
prisonment.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dec. 11.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAM!, Assistant-Judge.)
The Court sat specially to take the following
case:—

THE TRUSTEES OF EXETER HALL, STRAND, V. THE

POOR- RATE OF ST. MARTIN-IN-THE• FIELDS.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the
appellants, and Mr. Pashley and Mr. Huddlestone for
the respondents.
After rather more than an hour had been occupied
by the counsel in a discussion as to which side had the
right to begin,
Mr. BODKIN proceeded to state the ease for the ap-
pellants to the Court. After briefly alluding to the
contest that had taken place as to the right to begin,
he stated that the present was an appeal under the
provisions of the Act 6 and 7 William IV., cap. 9G,
sec. 6, against the present assessment of Exeter Hall
to the poor. rate of the parish in which it was situate,
the trustees of that establishment appearing as
appellants. For some considerable time the sum
at which it was so assessed was 1,0001, the fair
rateable value of the property, but the parish
officers raised the assessment and fixed it at
1,5001.; and though the trustees were satisfied that
such an assessment as that was one much beyond the
rateable value, they preferred to abide by it, rather
than become involved in any contest with the paro
chial authorities. But in the present year the parish
officers had thought proper to raise the assessment
from 1,5001. to 2,5001., which the trustees felt them-
selves bound to protest against, and accordingly they
appealed against such increase to the special sessions,
by which the proceedings of the parish officers were
confirmed, and consequently the trustees were com-
pelled to come to this court to obtain that which they
could not obtain in the court below, a just and fair
rating of their property—not that he in any way
impugned the judgment and the discretion that court
had exercised in this matter. Now he should pro-
duce to this court, to enable it to come to a right
conclusion as to what the rateable value of Exeter
Hall was, the accounts of the receipts and expendi-
ture, which he apprehended would speak for them-
selves. Exeter Hall had originated in the public
spirit of some individuals, who were sensible of the
necessity that existed for Some establishment to be
devoted to the purposes of meetings of a charitable,
benevolent, or scientific character; and in these and
other respects the edifice in question had provided
the public with an accommodation they did not be.
fore possess. By the deed of incorporation the pro-
prietors were bound to confine the building to " re
ligious, charitable, and scientific purposes ;" but it
had been urged that the steps that had been made in
the place to advance the science of music was a devi-
ation from the principles upon which it was origi-
nated ; hut he could not see any reasonable basis
upon which such an assertion could be founded. Lat-
terly the accommodation the building afforded had
been extended; it had occasionally been let to musical
associations and for musical entertainments, and con-
sequently the revenue had been increased ; but he
apprehended that because at any particular period
there had been an increase of revenue arising from
fluctuating causes, such as a passing excitement in
the publio mind, when the accommodation the place
afforded was in full demand, the parish officers could
not come in and assess the establishment upon the
amount of revenue that was derived at such par-
ticular period. That was a fictitious value—a real
rental could not be calculated therefrom. But the
course he proposed to take was this—to take the
average rental for the last three years, make the
necessary deductions, and then give the net rental
as the rateable value. The receipts for the three
years ending in April last gave an averag •
of 3,3821. for each year ; but such were
the variations to which this return was liable that,
in a former year, there had been an entire loss of
some 900/. or 1,0001. It depended upon the public
taste, and upon the competition that was rising up.
All upon which the revenue depended was uncer-
tainty ; and therefore it was better that an average
income should be taken rather than the income at one
particular period. The question was what rent would

a tenant pay for it, and he would show precisely how
much a tenant would give for it in the s.haps of rent.
2111. must be deducted from the average he had given,
in respect of property let to other parties, but assessed
to the trustees, and that would leave 3,171/. as re-
venue. The estimated expenditure, including salaries,
wages, rates and taxi s, &c., was 1,0711., which sum
deducted from the revenue left 2,1441. After de-
ducting interest upon the capital expended in furni-
ture and fittings, ten per cent. upon that capital for
deprecia:ion, and allowing 5001. a year for tenant's
prJfits, there was left a gross rental of 1,1941. From
that they deducted, as they were entitled to do, a
sum sufficient to keep the place in such repair as to
command that amount of rent, and after these de-
ductions there was a net rental of 9641., at which
sum the trustees contended they ought to ba raid.
The Learned Gentleman entered into these details
very minutely.
Mr. Graubv, the clerk of Exeter Hall, was then
examined. He proved that up to this year the
assessment had been 1,500/., and that the average
income for three years ending April, 1849, was
3,382/. In 1842 the revenue was 3,284/.; in 1843,
4 241/ ; in 1844, 3,0161.; in 1845, 2 908/. ; in 1846,
2,598/. ; in 1847, 3,01811. ; in 1848, 2,947/. ; and to
April, 1849, 4,181/.

The witness was cross examined at FORM length by
Mr. PASDLEY as to the arrangement of the establish-
ment and its capabilities, the terms upon which it was
let, &c., but the details were not interesting.
A long discussion then took place in reference to
the items that had been placed before the Court, in
the course of which Mr. Pashley contended that the
appellants were not entitled to deduct from the revenue
interest upon the capital invested in fittings, and that
the rental must not be calculated upon the revenue of
preceding years, but upon the income of the current
year. Ultimately,
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said be thought justice
would be done to all parties by the rate being fixed
at 2,0001., and ordered it to be reduced to that sum.
During the investigation Mr. Sergeant ADAMS
inquired whether the directors had an absolute con-
trol over the building, and the deed of incorpora-
tion was handed to him. Having perused it, he said it
appeared to him that the directors were bound to
confine Exeter Hall to " religious, charitable, and
scientific" purposes. It was competent, therefore,
for the teaching the science of music to be carried on
there, but he was inclined to think that it was not
competent for them to give public concerts.
M. Jullien and other musical celebrites were in
attendance upon subpcena, but they were not exa-
mined.
The court then adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSIOIV-HOUSE.

The unexpected appearance of Joseph Ady yester-
day to answer another complaint made by the Poet•
office authorities, brought together a great number of
people in the justice-room.

A-Ir. Peacock attended for the Post-office.

Ady was summoned under one of the Post•ofiice
Acts, for having neglected to pay the sum of 11/. 63.
due to her Majesty for the duty of postage, and to
show cause why a warrant of distress should not be
granted for the recovery of that sum, pursuant to
the directions of the statute.

Before the defendant appeared he sent the follow-
ing extraordinary document to the Lord Mayor :
" Anne denim° et undecimo, Victoria) Regime, cap.
71, intituled • An Act for the more easy recovery of
Small Debts and Demands within the City of London,
2d July, 1847,' page 447, section 24:—And be it en-
acted, that nothing in the Act contained shall be con-
strued to alter or affect the Court of Hustings, in the city
of Ile_ndon, or the Court of Our Lady the Queen, holden
before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in the Chamber
of the Guildhall of the city of London or to take away,
lessen, or diminish the powers and jurisdiction of the
slid courts, or either of them, i. e., the two courts. My
Lord Ktyor, this Act, intituled for the more easy reco-
very of smlll debts, tke., supersedes yours, liz , the
Lord Mayor sitting in the Poultry, and not at Guild
hall, therefore I protest against your summons
" Respectfully,

" JOSEPH ADY."
Upon appearing to answer the complaint the de-
'endant read and handed in a paper, of which the fol-
lowing are the contents :
" I request and demand that my protest be entered on
the jourt als of the court.
" My Lord Mayor, prior to pleading to the charge
made against me, I beg your Lordship's sanction to an
adjournment of the case to a future day, for the follow-
ing reasons:—
" At a late hour on Friday night, indeed after I had
rosit.,-.1 to rose, your _Lordship's summons was left at my
residence. This summons calls me to answer nearly
1,400 distinct charges. and I an invited to inspect the
whole of those letters, four hours only being allowed me.
" On applying to Mr. Peacock for an adjournment, ho
refused me, offering, however, to extend the time to be
allowed for inspection four hours only. When I re-
ceived this concession two hours of the time had passed
away, leaving me but six hours to accomplish an impos-
sibility, as your Lordship will readily perceive when you
consider that it would give me leas than a quarter of a
minute to inspect each letter.
"I um anxious, my Lord, to have full opportunity to
carefully and more leisurely inspect those letters, as I am
advised that I may have good ground of defence against
this claim, or, at least, a considerable portion of it. Upon
this ground I trust your Lordship will grant an exten-
sion of time, a?, upon such investigation, I shall deter-
mine whether or not to call in professional aid.
" What forgery is easier done than for that wretch
accursed of Moses, ex •magistrate of Greenwich, who
was detec;ed in concocting false evidence, and bribing
false witness to support 500 of them.—(Laughter.)
" What is easier than to print a few thousand imi-

tations of my circular intended for owners of unclaimed
dividends, printed in 1848 in the Bank, and direct each
to dead men who cannot receive them—(Laughter)--and
then, of course, have them returned to the Post•ofice, for
the purpose of putting me to expense."
The LORD MAYOR said he had no alternative but

.o proceed with the case, and that it was well known

the- defendant had been treated upon all occasions by
the Post-office authorities with the utmost indulgence.
Mr. Peacock then stated the case, as it was after-
wards supported in evidence, and said that the de-
fendant had resorted to the stratagem of making
hundreds of the letters he had posted appear as if they
had beau stamped, and that the stamps had been re-
moved from them.
Mr. William Scrivener, clerk in the Dead Letter
office of the Post-office, said—l produce 1,356 letters,
which have been returned to the Dead Letter office,
on account of the officers not being able to deliver
them to the persons addressed. I have examined the
letters. They purport to come from Mr. Joseph
Ady, and the charge for the postage is 111. 6s.
W. Morgan, assistant to the letter receiver in Fen -
church street, said, Mr. Ady is in the habit of
posting letters at our receiving house. On the 16th
of October 700 letters were posted by Mr. Ady.
They were unpaid, end most of them bore marks as
though they had previously been stamped, and the
stamps had been taken off. They were mostly ad-
dreseed to farmers in the country.
Ady—Pray who posted those letters ? Witness—

ou did. you brought them in a bag with you.
Ady—Oh I very well !—(Laughter.)
Witness—l examined them immediately.
Ady—Can you swear that there were no stamps
on thain ? Witness—l can swear that if there had
been stamps on them the stamps were off when I re-
ceived them.

My then desired to be allowed to examine the
letters, and upon looking at one of them asked
whether the witness could say that it had had no
hump upon it ? The witness—That was one of the
700 you brought in the bag. You brought them to
me inside, and gave them into my hands.
Henry Daniels, letter-carrier to the General Post-
office, said—l tendered these letters to the defendant,
and demanded 11/. 6s. postage on 1,356 letters. I
saw the defendant himself, and the answer he gave
me was that there was no money.
Ady—My Lord Mayor, you surely cannot say
that was a refusal to pay ?--(A laugh.)
The LOUD MAYOR—You are summoned for having
neglected to pay, and the fact of your not paying
is what the law considers neglecting or refusing
to pay. _ _ _

Ady—No man can swear that I refused to pay.
There was no refusal, and I protest against any con-
viction.

The LORD MAYOR—Have you anything more to
say, defendant, than what your paper contained ?
Aday—No, I don't know that I have; but that I
shall appeal I do know.

Th Lose Maros—The evidence has satisfiel me
that you owe for the postage of 1,356 letters ; and yc.o
must pay 11/. ss. and costs, amounting to 35., forth-
with. There is no appeal.
Ady—Oh yes, there is.
The LORD MAYOR—Under what clause ? Ady—

Well, then, you will allow me to protest ?
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly; you may protest if
you please. I have no objection at all to that; but
you must pay the money nevertheless.—(Laughter.)
Ady then requested to be allowed a month, but hi
Lordship said the distress warrant should be forthwith
issued ; and it was to be hoped the defendant would
take means of avoiding so disagreeable an alternative.
The postage and costs were paid before the pro-
ceedings torminated.
The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would
oblige him by acknowledging that l.e had received the

second half of the 51. note, with ":x. C.'s" compli-
ments, for the poor box.

LAMBETH.

Yesterday James Sin,:ittZr and John Anderson,
who had barn remanded on two previous occasions an
a charge of being concerned in several daringliigh way
robberies and using the most murderous violence to-
wards their victims, were again placed at the bar
before Mr. Elliott. A third person, who gave the
name of Daniel Fitzgerald, was also placed at the bar
as an accomplice.
Sergeant Hardwick, 7 D, who apprehended the
prisoners, stated that there were in attendance two
officers belonging to the Millbank Penitentiary, who
would prove that the prisoner who gave the name of
Anderson, but whose real name was Ferguson, had
been convicted and sentenced to transportation, and
had been sent from Millbank on board the Warrior
convict ship, lying off Woolwich. Some years ago
he (Sergeant Hardwick) apprehended the prisoner
Fitzgerald on a charge of felony, and he was then con-
victed and sentenced to seven years' transportation.
On apprehending him on the present charge, and on
their way to the station-house, Fitzgerald told him
that the prisoner Anderson had been a fellow- convict
with him on board the Warrior, and that his real
name was Ferguson. lie (Hardwick) was not yet
able to prove the fact ; but he should be able to
show that Sinclair was also a returned transport, and
that he had made his escape from one of her Majesty's
dockyards.

Thomas Barry, the deputy-landlord of a common
lodging-house, No. 16, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane,
who had been examined on a previous day, was again
called, and repeated that the prisoners Sinclair and
Anderson came to lodge at his house about the middle
of the last month, when Sinclair described himself as
a pensioner, and said he had ls. 11d, a day pension.
On the morning of the 20th of that month both the
prisoners were without money, and borrowed a six-
pence from him, saying that they were going to Green-
wich to receive some cash. On the same night, be-
tween the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, they returned, in
company with the prisoner Fitzgerald, and at that
time they were much intoxicated, but their companion
seemed sober. Sinclair pulled from his pocket and
placed in his (witness's) hands the sum of
11. 12s. 100., and the other prisoner also gave him
16s. The other prisoner spoke to Fitzgerald in a
free and friendly way, said he was a good fellow, and
hoped they had satisfied him, and if not they should
do so the next morning.
John Wilson, a lodger in the last witness's house,
repeated his statement that Sinclair had told him that
he had been transported, but he did not say for what
or when. The same prisoner had also asked him if
he thought he could dispose of a watch at one of the
lodging-houses at the outskirts of the town. Both
Sinclair and Anderson always lived very well and
seemed to have plenty of money, though they never
did any work.
John Evans, a cabinetmaker, also lodging at the
same house, said that on one occasion, when in con-
versation with the prisoner Sinclair, that person
admitted that he was a native of Gloucester, and that
his name was Robinson. On another occasion, when
the landlord, Barry, was giving a distressed lodger an
order for employment at the Mendicity Society, the
prisoner said he should knock down the first man or
woman he met in the street, rather than work for a
shilling a day. The conversation was subsequently
directed to the landlord of the house, and upon its
being said that he was in the habit of going weekly to
take away the rents collected from lodging houses in
Whitechapel, Union. court, Holborn, and Short's-
gardens, Drury-lane, Sinclair asked where he lived,
and said he would be worth meeting on his way home.
Lockyer, the gaoler to the police station, said on
that morning, on locking up the prisoner Fitzgerald
in a cell by himself, he was leaving the place when
he heard the prisoner exclaim, " Hallo, Jem ! You
are all right," The prisoner Sinclair, from another
cell, replied, "Oh ! yes, I was nailed three weeks
ago in Marrowbone- lane upon three front propping'
(meeting persons and striking and robbing them)
csses. Fitzgerald said, " Oh, yes, I saw it in the
papers." Sinclair continued and said, " Yes, but I
smashed them all. You must say that you were with
us on the night in quests n, and that we had a drop
of beer together, and that will save you."
The prisoners were all remanded.
