PO LICE.

QUEEN-SQUARE.--Yesladay that enterprising ad-
venturer in financial speculations, llr. Andrews,
whose transa6,tions With 'Colon'el lavison are before
the public, was brought up to answer to other
cbarg-s preferred against him.
In the present instance a charge of a nature_ by
far more serious than the ibrtUer was made against
the. Prisener, by Mr. "Harris, an old Gentleman : he
stated that he is a surgeon and man midwife, re-
siding in a small house in the Strand ; he first
became acquainted with the , Prisoner in 1800,
and he then resided in Theobald's-road.—Mr.
.Harris accidentally met a Lady ia the street, on
the ad of Odober, .and it being a late hour, he saw
her safe borne to her residence, No. 28, Edward-
street, Catendish-square. This "Lady turned out
to be the Prisoner's wife ; and the Prisoner express-
.ed his kindest thanks for the obligation,. - The Pri-
soner begged of the Complainant 'to come and dine
withhirn : the offer was accepted ; and from an in-
timacy, which afterwards' Subsisted, he became the
Prisoner's family surgeon, and delivered Mrs. An-
drews, in February, 1801, of a child The Pri-
soner, soon after, took apartMents in the house bf
his surgeon, and he remained there until :Jtme,
1802. The Prisoner kept, his carriage at the time,
and his friendship was very great with Messrs.
C— and 11--, Attorneys, Who were often with him.
:He used to repreSent hirriself as the brother of the
proprietor of the pOwder mills at Dartford. Mr, Har-'

ris W3S employed-by Prisoner, and used to ride in
his Carriage, to give. his opinion on Jesuits?-7bark,
opium,. and other drugs, which he (the Prisoner)
used to purchase in cpnsiderable quantities. The
CoMplainant sopped.with theTrisoner; Messrs. C.
H. and L., and some others; in April, 1801; after
the company had all drank freelY, of wine, the

Complainant became stupid, and the company left
the room for two or three minutes ; on their re-
turn, a guautity of papers were exhibited on the
table, and they were presented by. Mr. C. to the
Complainant for him to sign each of them as a
Witness. Mt.. Harris did not know what papers
they were, he being very much inebriated. The
Complainant had reason to believe that opium had
been mixed amongst his drink, 'from the situation
he felt himself in the next morning. He had not
signed these papers many days, ere he was arrested
at' the suit of Mr. a druggist, in the Strand,
although unconscious of having contraEted a debt
with that Gentleman. This business, hoWever, was
' settled, after C. had paid Mr. Harris a visit whilst in
a lock-up-house. The Complainant wa9,, in an
.111
state of health ; and on -a certain day the FiiSoner
alviscd him to take an airing with him in his cars
riage ; on their arrival near Westminster-bridge, the
Prisoner alighted, and observed, that he was going
to fetch another Gentleman, who turned out to be
a bailiff. The Complainant was arrested again, with-
ont having contra6led a debt, and he was driven in
the carriage to the King's Bench, where be re-
mained till- 086ber t 804, wbe'in he was liberated by
the Insolvent AO. He alWays thought Mr. An
drews a cruel man ; and be refleaed on hii condo&
with horror. ThiTrisotier called, at hi house again,
after his release from prison ; and, on espying a
closet door open, he took down, a' box, containing
plate to the value of tool. and rattled it. Mr. Har-
ris was called into the front strop, whilst the Pri-
soner had the 'box in his hand; on his return; he
gone up stairs. Mr. Harris was much agitated ;
and on going up stain after the Prisoner, be could
not see him nOr the bOx. He saw hini again in the
evening, and the PriSoner observed he had made a
temporary use of the plate, to save him from being
arrested ; and promised, from day to day, to return
it ; .but he at length absconded.- By infOrmation of
the PriSonCr's wile, the property was traced to the
shop of ,Mr. Parker, Pawnbroker, in Fleet-street,

where 221. had hcen
.advanced' on it. The plate, it
appeared, Was the property.Of a West India mer-
s chant, who had married the daughter cff Mr. Ilar-
ris; and it was left in the house of the father for
safety, whilst the merchant was gone abroad.
Another charge was, made against the Prisoner,
by a young man whose mother had been duped of
221. by him: This brought the swindling career of
the Prisoner to as early an epoch as 1797. A great
part of 'this money was obtained for apparel for a
woman with Whotii he then cohabited. The Ac--

curer had seen the Prisoner with Sir Watkin Lewes,
who since said he would pay the debt if the Prison-
er did not ; but the yormg man observed, that he had
very recently seen Sir Watkin, who had alsd a charge
to exhibit against the Prisoner.
William Braun, late coachman to the Prisoner,
appeared in the office, to answer interrogatories
relatiVe to the obtaining of goods from Mr. Asser,
a china-man ; who, however, was not present. The
coachman wore a handsome livery, provided for him
by his 'master. •

• The Magistrate informed the Prisoner, that his
situation wore. a .chore serious aSpeta than it
had hitherto done, for he, stood charged, in
this instance, with a capital offence, that of
stealing in a dwelling-house. • The Prisoner observ-
ed, that he had been advised to say nothing
until he appeared before a Jury ; 'but he had
feelings, whi'ch, aroused by an abominable con,
spiracy, -compelled him to speak. He entered
into a vindication- of his conchs& in a firm
manner, and utged his innocence. of the several
charges instituted against hiM. He
.also begged of
the persons present to Suspend their judgment on his
case, rather than sport a ith his feelings. The Ma.
gistrate observed,, that it w::s astonishing he, who,
by his acuteness and talents might have been.a use-
ful member of society, could make solemn.assertions
of his innocet.ce,,w hen, without fortune,,or any vi-
sible tneinis, he was enabled to sport his equipage.
There had been a great nun per of persons at, the
Orlice to institute chargeS.againsthim, and he should
remand bins for their investigation.
The Pri:ioths:r.was remanded till next Monday.
