GUILDHALL.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett, alias Helmsley, alias Griffiths,
I was agaia brought up for further examination, charged
with obt,ining above 601. worth of furniture from
Messrs. W. and C. Wilkinson, cabinet-makers, carrying
on business at 14, Ludgate-hill, under false pretences.
At the former examinations, of which a full report
has appeared, it was shown that the prisoner, in con-
nexion with others not in custody, had been carrying en
a regular system of swindling for some time, under
various names, and the better to deceive tradesmen, a
cook and butler (no doubt a part of the gang) generally
answered the door.
Evidence was given on the part of Mr. Reuben Brook,
of 227, R7gent street, picture-deal-r; Mr. bobby, 95,
Strand ; Mr. Bakor, King's-road, Chelsea ; and Mr.
Hedgeley, 44, Burlington-arcade, that they had been
swindled out of parcels of goods, which they had been
persuaded, under various pretexts, to leave at the house,
39, Brornpton•crescent, from whence the gang decamped
in the nif,: ht.
Sir PETER LAURIE asked if there were any other
cases?
Sergeant Dubois—There are plenty, but the parties
don't appear to be present to. day.
One of the witnesses here said that he succeeded in
discovering the carman who removed the goods from
Brompton-crescent, and that individual refused to say
where he removed tb.m to, or to give the slightest in-
formation on the subject, and therefore he could not help
thinking he was in some way mixed up in the affair.
Sergeant Dubois said there was no hope of getting the
man alluded to (named Cherry) to appear without a sum -
mons. He was constantly moving these swindlers in all
directions.

A Mr, Hartland said that when he prosreuted the
prisoner and a man named Gerrard on behalf of the Na-
tional Linen Company, two years ago, this very man
(Cherry) would not come forward until an immediate
summons was granted by the late Alderman Johnson;
and he (Mr. Hartland) was obliged to go and bring him
to the court. On that occasion Mrs. Bennett received
nine months' imprisonment and Gerrard twelve months.
Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, we will have him here.
Mr. Kirke, one of the p -rsons taken in, here said that
he verily believed the prisoner was the very woman
who represented herself as Mrs. Onslow, the wife of a
retired publican living at No. 4, Union-place, Wands-
worth-road, one of the referees which were given when
he let the house in Brompton. err scent.
Sir PETER LAURIE Said it was not at all unlikely.
He should further remand her till Tuesday next.
The prisoner was then removed to the Compter.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Alfred aSmith, a Scotch journeyman baker, who has
gone urickr the name of George Fitzroy Campbell, half-
pay officer, and Campbell Martindale, railway surveyor,
was brought before Mr. Hardwick for final examination,
charged with having robbed Maria Foster of a gold watch
and chain, value 211.

The prosecutrix, a plain woman, at least ten years the
senior of the prisoner, said she was waitress at the West-
End Dining-rooms, Oxford-street. The prisoner, whom
she knew as George Fitzroy Campbell, a military gentle-
man, was in the habit of coining to the rooms to take his
dinner. In the month of June, 1848, he made proposals
of marriage to her, stating that he had been in the army,
and was a single man. The proposals were accepted, and
the prisor.er bought a wedding ring, which proved to be
too big. The prisoner borrowed from ber a diamond
ring, worth EL, for the purpose, as he said, of getting a
wedding ring made of the same size. A day or two afcer-
wards the prisoner called at the dining-rooms and borrowed
her gold watch and chain, saying that he was going to
dine with some gentlemen that day, and after the dinner
was over he would bring back the property. The prisoner
called to see her the same evening, and she asked him for
the watch. Having occasion to leave the room for a
minute, the prisoner slipped away, and prosecutrix did
not meet with him until eleven o'clock the sumo night,
when he made the excuse that he had given the watch
to a friend in ordr that it might be taken care of. Pro-
secutrix never saw the prisoner again until Monday last,
when she met him in Oxford-street, and on demanding
her watch, he said he bad pawned it f.,r 101., at Vaughai2s,
in the Strand. Prosecutrix eventually gave the prisoner
into custody.
A shopman in the service of Messrs. Vaughan and
Co., 39, Strand, proved that the watch was pledged on
the 13th July, 1848, for 101., in the name of Andrew
Simmons.

Mary Cooper, 7, Wilton-terrace, said on Monday
week the prisoner took a lodging in her house in the
name of Campbell Martindale. lie said he was a single
man and a railroad surveyor.
Police-constable Tottman, A 393, said he searched the
room occupied by the prisoner in Wilton-terrace, and
found in it the dress of a journeyman baker.
The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, reserved
bis defence, and was fully committed.
The prisoner, it appears, obtained about 801. from the
credulous woman, in addition to the diamond ring and
gold watch.

HUNGARY AND HOME.-...MEET-
ING AT GLASGOW.
GLASGOW, TUESDAY.—Last evening a public meet-
ing of the inhabitants, convened by the Lord
Provost on requisition, was held in the City-hall.
The large hall was completely crowded, there
being not less than three thousand persons present.
The object of the meeting, us set forth in the adver-
tisement calling it together, was for the purpose of
sympathising with the Hungarian people, and me-
morialising the Government on their behalf; also to
take into consideration the conduct of the Governor
of Malta in regard to the recent treatment of the
Italian refugees.
On the motion of Mr. TURNER, of Thrush grove,
Mr. Ross was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, on opening the proceedings, ex-
plained in general terms, the immediate objects of
the meeting, and dilated on the topics in relation
thereto.
The Rev. Mr. CLARKE moved the first resolution,
which was as follows :—" That this meeting regards
with deep emotion the heroic struggles of the people
of Hungary in defence of the rights of self-govern-
ment, and deems their resistance to the Austrian
nation as just, and worthy of the sympathy of Great
Britain. Whilst viewing with horror the atrocities to
which the Hungarians are subjected, this meeting
pledges itself to use every available means to prevent
the various excesses against that people by the bar-
barous Governments of Austria and Russia." He
considered if such a resolution was called for and jus-
tifiable when success was attending the skill and
heroism of the Hungarian army in the mighty strug-
gle, it was much more so now, when the news had
come to band of their having sustained reverses.
It must be borne in mind that the Hungarians,
in the terms of the resolution, in fighting for the
right of self-government, were not contending for a
mere abstraction, or some new privilege, to be con-
ceded to them, but for a constitutional law, under
which they and their ancestors had lived for many
centuries.—(Hear, hear.) The Hungarians said that
their constitution was handed down to them by their
ancestors. They did not believe it to be perfect, or
free from many errors, but they were averse to its
abolition to please the Austrian Government, and
considered themselves the best judges wherein it
needed amendment. The Rev. Gentleman main-
tained that the British Government should be called
upon at once to interfere at all haz trds, and concluded
by making an appeal to the meeting to express their
sympathies with the Hungarians.
Mr. W. WALKER seconded the resolution, which
was carried by acclamation.
Mr. CULLEN moved the next resolution. It was to
the- effect—" That a memorial be presented to her
Majesty, calling on her to remonstrate with the Aus-
trian Government against such atrocities as had been
perpetrated on the Hungarians in their struggles for
self-government, and that as the Hungarian nation
had been compelled to submit to Austria, that they
might be treated in such a manner as humanity, added
to the justice of their cause, entitle them to; also,
that the meeting expresses its atonishment at the in-
human treatment Italian refugees have met with from
the Government at Malta, and urge a searching in-
quiry into the matter."
Mr. THOMAS BROWN seconded the resolution, con-
tending that they should protest against such con-
duct as had been charged upon the Maltese Governor.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. JAMES WILKINSON moved that a memorial to
her Majesty, founded on the resolutions of the meet•
ing, be agreed to, and forwarded to the Home Secre-
tary for presentation.
Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON. seconded the motion,
which was also agreed to. _
Dr. ERDOHAZY, a Hungarian refugee, was then in.
troduced to the meeting, and was received with
vehement cheers. As far as his imperfect English
could admit of interpretation, he spoke to the fol-
lowing purport. He trusted that they would excuse
him if his expression was not such as they could
clearly understand, or as he should wish. It cheered
him in his exile to see the enthusiasm which had
been manifested for the freedom of his beloved
country. The French cock crowed one morning not
long ago, and the surrounding nations began to think
that the sun of liberty was about to rise. It was,
however, a false alarm, as the recent conduct of the
French Government amply testified. His country-
men had rights which it was attempted to take from
them, and their only crime was for standing up for
them. The Emperor of Austria had broken all his
promises, and that was the reason why they could no
longer hope for justice from that quarter. They had
several times been almost victorious, in fact, had it
not been for the Russians, Hungary would be free at
this very hour.
Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the
meeting separated.
