MARLBOROUGH-STREBT.—John Lewis Baptista
Barrie&let yesterJay underwent a final exami.natlon
at this Office.

The Earl of Caledon appeared for the :_first time
since the Prisoner' has been in custody. His Lord-
ship stated, that the Prisoner adted as valet, and not
as butler, •and to hire he left the care of his house
-whilst he went, to Ireland. Thirty-two packages were
packed in a hurry, and sent to a waggoti inn for
comeyance to Portsmouth, previbus to his Ural'
ship's departure from town, he having at that time
been given to understand that he should embark
for qt(,.‘ Cape of Good Hope in a few days. In con-
sequence of the confused manner in which .the•
packages had been packed, his 'Lordship could nbt
speak, with any degree of certainty, to what extent
had• been robbed; nor could he particularize -at
that moment any deficiency, excepting, as he sup
posed, Q 6 dozen of Champaigne, Madeira,
Claret, .and other wines, left in his wine cellar, and
which, on exaMination,.contained not more than two
or three- bottles. The Prisoner lwl no command
over the keys of the wine-cellar, whiCh were depo—
sited in aui unlocked-drawer. Nine' packageg; it •
appeared; had been brought away from the waggon,'
inn.

Col. Alexander identified part of his property
which had been 'offered for sale by the Prisoner; and
it was proved by the other persons who were left in
the house, that the Prisoner_ had frequently taken
ine from- the cellar, and carried it our of the house.
He had, it appeared, 'distributed the whole stock of
wines amongst about a dozen dashing tales, at -dif-
ferent times ; two of whom proved, that they. had
received a part of it, and,' in particularising the
marks on the corks, &c. it appeared to .he part of.
that which the• servants saw the Prisoner take froba..
the cellar. The several ladies with.whorn the Pri-
soner,ha.t, by.his assumption of title, birth, arc. he-
conic acquainted,' gave a sportive description of the
con:l,ll'st of the self-created Nobleman, whilst aeling
toe; nan of -fashion, similar to the absurdities with
which our readers are already acquainted respealpg,
hint: • He insisted that Miss'C: Who had expressed
an intention to leave her house,- should accept his
•(theaning Lord UtledoWs). whilst he was at, thb
Cape, as he should have no occasion for it. Ths.
oder was Made when the. Lady breakfasted v•ith the
Prisoner, w 1 excited her suticlons, as he had t:o
servants at command.

The Prisoner wai fully committed for trial, on
three inaiLtmmts ; one beaig for defrauding Mes3rs.
Rundle aid Bridge, Jewellers, Ludgatehill, wh-n.e
he had procured a snuff-box, mounted in gold, by

using:his nuster's nam e.

panoil of their poverty, had n small loci: of straw to
lay on, and so far was better lodged than his fel-
low lodgers. All the trod provided for the supper
of the whole faMily was formed on a broken, ptate,
and appeared to be about a _pennyworth of sprats.-
.Some idea may be faand of his wretched state,
by obserVing, that, when lodged 'in the prison in
a solitary cold cell in the Felons' department, with
the usual bed and covering; and with his Irons on,
he expresed his'satisfac.tion at being so comfortably
lodged.—His wife is • also 'in custody, and the poor
girl, the daughter, is admitted to the Parish Work-
