MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FRAUD.--Lord Portarlington came on Saturday to this
office, to prove a charge of attempted fraud against Ann
Durnegan. About a twelvemonth back he received a
letter, purporting to have been written by Captain Bolton,
pleading urgent distress, and soliciting pecuniary relief.
The letter concluded by expressing a wish, provided his
Lordship would condescend to recollect the time when
they were officers in the same regiment, that his Lord-
ship, in addition, would give the bearer a written cer-
tificate of his services and conduct as an officer. 1113 Lord-
ship, when Colonel of the 23d regiment of Dragoons, re-
membering that Captain Bolton (lid serve under him, and
well knowing that he was a highly meritorious officer, im-
mediately enclosed a .5/. note and a written certificate, in a
letter, which was handed to a female answering the
description of the prisoner. Some time after this, his
Lordship happening to mention the subject to Lord Ed-
ward Somerset, he was given to understand that there was
very little doubt of his having been imposNl upon, as the
letter had certainly not been written by Captain Bolton.
On Tuesday last his Lordship came to town, and went to
reside at Stephen's Hotel, Bond-street. A letter was
brought to him, having been left by some females, couched
in terms similar to the one alleged to have been written by
Captain Bolton, purporting to come from a Captain Bat-
tersby, and soliciting relief. The handwriting being the
same, his Lordship immediately detected the fraud, and,
to render the offence clearer, if possible, his Lordship added
that he had never known a Captain Battersby, but he had
known a Lieutenant Battersby, who had been killed at the
battle of Waterloo. His Lordship immediately procured
the assistance of the police, and precautions having been
taken, the prisoner was secured when she made her ap-
pearance for the answer.

Mr. DYER said the case was one which ought to be
sifted as closely as possible, and therefore he should re.
wand her until next Wednesday.

WORSHIP_ STREET
Mrs. Feather, on Saturday, preferred a complaint against
her husband, a salesman in Newgate Market, for neglect-
ing her.

The complaint arose of certain visits which complain-
ant stated her husband paid too frequently to a Mrs. -,
a wholesale-dealer in sheeps' heads and trotters. This was
the second hearing. On a former one the husband threat-
ened that, if held to bail, he would never live with his
wife again.

Mr: BROUGHTON—Why cannot you live together happy?
Complainant—Because he will go to Mrs. —.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Then it is what Shakspeare calls the
green-eyed monster. Complainant—lt is not my fault.
Mr. BROUGHTON—My advice to you is, to take him
home and kill him with kindness. Complainant—So I
would, if he would let me ; but he will go to Mrs. —.
Mr. TWYFORD—Then, why do you not leave him ?
A solicitor for the defandant said that the complainant
was very jealous, and without cause.
Mr. BaouGHToN.—All we can do, is to hold him to bail,
but we cannot prevent him going astray. If you separate
who is to take care of the children ? Defendant— I will
take them all.

Complainant—How can you do that, when you are from
home three days a week ?

Mr. BROUGHTON—You may be a very good butcher,
but you are a very unfeeling husband. What can you do
with the children ?

The complainant, who had an infant in her arms, shed
tears.—The defendant was held to bail.

On Tuesday morning, at twelve o'clock, Prince Ferdinand

PIRACY AND ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE OF EIGHT CONVICTS
FROM NEW SOUTH WALES.--It appears by the Sydney
Gazette, of the 3d November, that Joseph Kay, James
Brennan, Thomas Stullen, Thomas Brennan, John Wil-
liams, James Anson, Thomas Ford, and John Stocknell,
all convicts for life, had been fully committed for trial,
charged with piratically taking away a. cutter of 20 tons, the
property of W. C. Wentworth, Esq., with the intent of es-
caping from the colony. The capture of tho culprits was
effected through the great exertions and determined con-
duct of Captain Jan Roach (late of Cowes), commander
of the Revenue cutter Prince George, who proceeded in
pursuit of the vessel, which he ultimately traced to Port
Stephen, whither the pirates had taken her. Capt. Roach
went on shore with his boat's crew, and after tracking the
pirates (who had landed) for about five miles saccgedpd
making them prisoners.
