told them that the police were in search of them he
had offered, provided they paid him well, to put the
police on the wrong scent by telling them they had
gone to Westminster, whilst they had taken a diffe-
rent direction. This the witness denied, and added
to his former testimony that one of the women, when
about to be taken, attempted to swallow a sovereign
but, finding she could not do so, she handed it to hint
(witness) and desired him to put it away, so that the
police could not lay hold of it. The witness, how-
ever, very properly banded it to the police, after
marking it.
sergeant Goff informed the Magistrate that he had
no doubt whatever that a robbery had been accom-
plished by the prisoners. The dresses, shawls, and
bonnets, worn' by the two women were quite new,
and had been purchased, he (Goff) had no doubt, with
part of the plunder.
The prisoners, who had scarcely recovered from
the effects of their debauch, said, the money found
upon them was their own, and that they " were out
on a bit of a spree."
Mr. ELLIOTT was of the same opinion as the officer,
that the prisoners had been engaged in a robbery of
some sou, and remanded them until Saturday.
SO L/ Th 6VAI?K.
Jane Robinson was brought before Mr. Seeker,
charged with uttering a forged .5/ Bank of England
note, and John Whitclock, a musician, was charged
with aiding her in the con mission of the offence.
In consequence of the number of forged notes
, uttered to various tradesmen on the south side of the
river, the examination excited a considerable degree
of interest.

Mrs. Mary Barham said that she is landlady of the
Shipwrights Arms, in Bermondsey-street, and that
the male prisoner was in the habit of frequenting her
house occasionally to play on the violin. On Tues-
day night, about half-past nine o'clock, he came there
with the other prisoner, and the tatter asked her
(the complainant) if she could give her chinge for a
51. Bank of England note, her companion saying that
it was all right. The note was accordingly changed,
and the complainant placed it is the cashbox, and on
the following day it was tendered to Messrs. Barnett,
the distillers, of Vauxhall, who discovered it to be a
forgery. The complainant added, that upon this dis-
covery the prisoners were given into custody.
Whitelock's defence was that his fellow-prisoner,
who was an unfortunate girl, lodged in one of his
houses in Snow's-fields, and that she represented to
him on the night in question that the 51. note had
been given to her by a gentleman to get changed ;
that he (prisoner) believing her statement, did men-
tion to the complainant that it was all right, for he
had no suspicion that it was a forged note when it
was presented at the Shipwrights' Arms, a house
which he was in the habit of frequenting, and that it
was not likely he would attempt to utter such a thing
at a house where he was so well known.
Robinson said that on the evening in question she
met a well• dressed man in the street, and that he ac-
companied her to her lodgings, and gave her the Si.
note (produced) to purchase some liquor; that she
called at the Shipwrights' Arms, and finding White-
lock, her landlord, there, she informed him of . the
circumstance, and he mentioned to the landlady that it
was all right ; that when she (the prisoner) returned
with the change she gave it to the gentleman, who
sent her out for the materials for supper, and while
she was absent he left the house. She added that
Whitelock had nothing whatever to do with the
transaction more than what she had represented. She
should know the man who gave her the forged note,
and she proceeded to give a very accurate description
of his person and dress.
Another woman, who was with the accused when
she met with the person referred to, confirmed her
statement with respect to his identification.
Mr. SECKER said that he should discharge White-
lock, as it did not appear that he was cognizant of
the fact that the note was a forgery at the time that
he spoke to his landlady on the subject. It was no-
torious that a number of forged notes were put into
circulation in that district, and as it was of the utmost
importance to the trading community that steps
should be taken to apprehend the utterers, if possible,
he should remand the prisoner until Saturday. The
magistrate then directed that no pains should be
spared in the endeavour to apprehend the man who,
it was asserted, had given the note in question to the
prisoner ; and as it appeared a very accurate descrip-
tion had been given to the police of his person, it was
probable he would be taken into custody and placed
at the bar on the next examination.

THE CHOLERA AT ETEMOUTEL Of
—The Tillage -
Eyemouth for 24 days past has been the scene of great
distress and mourning. In that short time no less than
54 persons have fallen victims to cholera and fever, being
at the rate of 4 per cent., or 1 in 25 of the populations
which numbers about 1,400. On some days the nurabe!
-
of deaths were as many as eight. A wife and four chit.
dren were cut off from their husband and father in four
days. Its fatality was and is most alarming. I"-
quaintances have been talked with in the morning in the
streets, who ere the midnight hour were called to WO
account. One very striking case was that of a persoll
who attended a funeral at mid-day, and parted with
few friends at seven o'clock in the evening, and before
daybreak was numbered among the dead. Business 0:
every kind has been totally paralyzed since the outbreAr
of the epidemic. The ministers of the different deneol;
nations have jointly commenced a subscription in behalf 0..1
the poor and suffering, which we are glad to say has be,:
liberally responded to—upwards of 601. having alrea%
been received. A soup kitchen has been opened fort w
distribution of soup three or four times a week, and Wanril;
