POLICE.
AGGRAVATED FRAUD.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-I?ichard Boxall, a ei-
derma attorney's clerk, was .charged with obtain-
ing by fraud 10/. of _WI.. H—, a Gentleman of
fortune, in Wimp-Ole-street, arising out of the fol-
lowing Circumstances. ft.appearedr by the testi-
mony of an industrious man, of the . name of
Conches, who resides in Swallow-street, that he
had a -little boy run over by the carriage of Mr.
H-,;•7 “vo years ago, and his head sustained wale
dreadful fractures. Every prompt assistance was
afforded the little sufferer, and Mr. H— ordered
the hest surgical assistance to be procured at his
expence, and •the .child ultimately recovered.--
Combes was desirous of
,writiug to the Gentle-
man, but being no penman, and knowing the pri-
soner, who was then a sort of gatherer of small
debts, he asked him to do it. The prisoner par-
took of a humble dinner at Combe's house.; but
.before they began to talk about the contents.. of
the letter, the latter was called out on a job. The
prisoner drew from the wife the nature of _the
subject, and_the address. of Mr.:whom he
called upon the next day, without 'Abe least au-
thority, and he called again in two.days after, and
received of -Mr. ll..ten pounds, for which he gave
a receipt in the name of Combes an(l his' wife.—
This fraud became known in two or three days,
but the.prisonet had left his lodgings, and was
norto be found. .No part of the money had ever
been received by 'Combes, who observed that Mr.
'H. had paid 701. for medical attendance on the
child, arid he had some idea that he was a party
to the fraud. The child who had been injured,
accidentally saw the prisoner in the street, and
the father apprehended .him.
The prisoner, in the style and gravity of a legal
pleader, observed, no fraud had been committed.
He confessed all that had been-urged against him;
but be did not think -proper to part with the.
money until he had ascertained what- bills were
unpaid. He had been confined in the King's
Bench, and had got a day-rule to call on an emi-
nent Solicitor, where he had formerly been clerk,
to settle some business with. He had intended
to have paid any remains of 101. to the aggiieved
party, and lie was willing to give security for pay-.. 1
menr of the 10/. by his own note.

The Magistrate ridiculed the idea of his 'secu-
rity, and ordered him to be remanded until next
Saturday.
Bow- STREET.--41eX. Murdoch and Eliz. Scott
were charged with feloniously stealing sixty-eight
pairs of stays, the property of Williatn,Marston,

rily proved by several witnesses, they were com-
mitted for, trial. _ _

stealing twenty silver slab/ons, eighteen table, and
two dessertspoons, the property of Mr. Zaclia-
rey, of Figtree-court, Temple.—A shopwan of

ed the prisoner pawning some of the spoons, and
William Brackley, the servant to Mr. Zacha-
rey, stated that he left the spoons,. and that the
entrance to his master's chambers had beeh made
by a door from CroWn-office-row, and the spoons
taken away.—Othly, the patrole, who apprehend-
ed the prisoner, found a key in his lodging;opened
the door in Crown-office-row.-,-lle was commit-
ted for trial.

• CAUELTY, TO AN ANIMAL.

GUILPHALL.-Charles Day was charged by Sa-
muel Atkins, a hitcher, in Hornsey; with cruelty
to an ox. The prisoner had been assisting in driv-
ing a herd of' bullocks through Highgate, when
one of them, that appeared extremely tired, ran
into a house, where the prisoner beat the animal
very severely with a stick, which, lie grasped with -
both his hands. The prisoner pleaded intoxica--
tion, and professed contrition. The complainant
then represented to the Alderman (Sir ft. C.
GLYNN) that he knew bins to be a poor man with
a large family; and as he believed his own ob-
ject) which was not punishment for the past, but
prevention in future, .trould TlOll7 be attained, be
itad no objection to. the prisoner' being discharg-
ed; whieb was done accordingly.

be Norwich -Quarter Sessions-. R. Cable was
indicted unde-: the Game Laws, which conviction
.vas supported by Robert Beats, ar. accomplice,
who deposed, that in .December, 1812, himself,•
the prisoner, and five others, went ,with-guns and
sticks into the plantations of his master, Mr.
Barker, at Carbrook, for the purpose of killing
pheasants; which purpose they effected. - When

he should turn evidence.' against them, inveigletr
hilts aboard L'Utile ship at war, under pretence of

expense in procuring his release.
