•oTi4inal business of " llarber."

The robbery of Mrs. Bishop waS before proved,
part of the goads having been found at a pAwn-
broker's, and the rene:inder at a private lodging in
a -stable-yard, behind James-street, West Minster,
to which places they had been conveyed by the
pritoner.
Yesterday, the owner of the lodgings stated,
that Nott took the room a Fortnight ago, at 2s.
a week that he had singe paid lid. on account Of
rent ; that. he brought in sofas and other tine ar-
ticles, which was deemed very ominous by him-
self and %vile, as it v. as the first time a fine sofa
had ever been in their house.

Mr. Johnson, a brokers Walled this sofas and
charged Nott with obtaining it and other articles,
pier glasses, &c. on false pretences,: saying he
wanted them to furnish No, 41, Hans-place, and
that he was a gentleman of property, and land,
surveyor ; and referred fora character to a person,
who said that Mr. Nott had been a Colonel.

Mr. Williams, of Bell-yard, wine-merchant,
next 'preferred a similar charge. The prisoner,
then residing at No. 2, Park-place -; ordered some
wine, promising to pay ready money for it, but
when he got it into the house nothing but a bill
was 16 be obtained. Nett wanted more wine,
deeming the order sent in one much too small for
a Gentleman to, give to an honest tradesman; but
as Mr. Williams did not like the look of Mary
Clarke (now in custody), and other women about
the house, he would not take any other order. He
afterwards met this Mary Clarke at Marlborough-
street, applying for a warrant against Mr. Nott
for giving her a black eye, and otherwise heating
her ; when she observed to him, that Nott had
d—d him for a fool for taking a worthless bill
for his wines. Nutt said that he was acquainted
with Lord Winchelsea and other great men ; ,but
Mr. W. never sent any more wine.
A Gentleman, from Ludgate-hill produced a
bill which he had taken from Bloomfield, who re-
ceived it from Nott ; and he added, that in con-
sequence of the villanies of the scoundrel at the
bar, Bloomfield, an industrious trale.Atian was a
ruined man. •
Nott—" That's a lic—he wanted to cheat me :
but you,are not the only person that can tell lies
of me."

A brusit-maker, of Bermondsey, while prisoner
lived in the tout►road, then carrying on the busi-
ness of adentist, charged him with having obtailfed
tooth-brushes to.the amount of about 3t. when Nntt
lett that place, which be did without paying any
rent. He was traced to Lock's-fields, where, in
coninnetion with another, he had turned fortune-
teller.

'A charge of a more serions•n4ture was next pre-
ferrecl.,against Nott, namely, one of fprgery.---
Capt:'Mathews stated, that he discounted a 30/.
Bill for a' Mr. Cardiff, it being drawn by William
COtteri!, and accepted by -William B;own ; but
When it became due, Brown -had abscondtd, and
Cotteril was not to he found at his residence,
Burlington-gardens, where he had carried on the
business of a money-lender. Cotteril, however,
was traced to 2, Park-place, where be lad taken
up the name of Nott and having-left there, he
was traced to Sloane-street, where all clue was
lost. Before the Bill:became due, the prisoner
called, aud'said,that lie was William Coterill, and
that. he was the drawer of the Bill.. He was--sure
of the person of the prisoner, and he could-pro-
duce other witnesses to support him in this fact,
and the writing of the prisoners.
Nott said this %vas all a delusion ; he never had
but one name, that was Nott. He was the son
of Mrs. Newcombe, wife of Alderman New-
combe, of Stamford, Justice of the,Yeace, &c. -
Committed for further examination, as other
charges might be preferred against him. •
