we do not pretend to know, but we do know that
there has been full time to prepare a 13i11 which did
not essentially differ from the former one ; and we
also know that the delay, coming from whatever
cause it may, is exceedingly prejudicial to the inte-
rests of the country,—Morning Herald.
The Opposition, and their t0..01a) tha, Anti-Reform
Journals, are in a prediearneett, tom old habit,
:hay do not like to let -p:o good thing when they
one, each hold of ite and the report of a change of
because it was connectd
31inicry was a good thing,
with the hope of coming at other good thines, whieh
they know from past experience how to rep ;elate.
But this rumour—of which to do thetn justice,
they made the most while it lived—is now dead.
Yet they will not allow it to be buried in peace and
quietness. They hang over its dear remains, thhy
watch its bewhching countenance, in (':en hope that
it will open its beautiful wide saVouth once more to
give utterance to the downfall of the \Vhig Admi-
nistration. To droo enetreinor, however, and come
to fact, the Antisßeform Journals, fouling that the
report has been contradicted in the mart ..-aaations
tray by the continuance of Ministeen in office, have
hit upon the notable expedient of postporeng the re-
pert sine die, but with a positive undertekirig that it
shoji be renewed; as if they expected that the dis-
grace of one falsehood could be obviated by the pro-
mice of another. To us, and to that large portion
of the community who agree with us in caring
neither for Whig nor Tory, the remeeal of the
'present nni,ters from office ‘votrld h.' a matter of
very little interest, if it did net involve the post-
ponement—for it is absutqlo talk of the defeat—of
the measure of Reform. Independently of the wish
we have to see Reform . accomplished, for the sake
of Reform itself, we are also desirous of its success,
to avoid the consequences likely to follow even from
its postponement. There are had spirits at work
and there are honest ones, who, without the same
intention, are producing the same effect, by tell trn-
lag the public mind at this crisis. Tt:e opinion of
both seems to be that the people are cooling, and
require to be kept in a state of excitement ; but those
who think so honestly, and veth honest viewe, would
soon find reason to change their tone on the first
intimation of a triumph on the part of the borough-
mottgers. That trial will, we hope, be spared to us
all. Rumours of cesignations may keep one party
filet spirits ; but we trt st that, until the question of
Reform has been settled ,in the only way that can
ever afford satisfaction, tha party will be content
with the exercise of its inventive powers, and leave
to the people and a truly Referraing Admini-nottien
the less fanciful enjovretent of car: yieg the Dice inn)
effect.—Merning Herald.
Unioes are now the order of the day.
Throuehout England, ts-cientl, and Scotland, hut
more especially Scotland, they are to be found
every where. The Glasgow Ercning Psi of Sa-
turday last, observes that " Political Unions are
springing up rapidly in every town and village in
the country, and if they hold on at the serne tate
far a few weeks, there will rot he a piece found
where the people will not have associated togetht r
for the purpose of first obtaining their rights, and
then renovating the corrupt and anthpia ed institu-
tiens of the country." If we may judee from the
account of the formation of the Kilmarnock Union,
the Magistrates COWenance them, for we see that
three Justices of the Peace, Colonel Macalistcr, of
Kennox, Captain 'Patrick, and Mc. Packer, of As,-
loss, not only attended, but signed fhe hand of
Union. The question as to the expediency of
Unions may therefore be said to be decided ; for the
objections to them have been: universally scouted.
Indeed, We have never heard one argument against
thein which would be deemed of the least ,veight
by a serious Reformer, though of course to anti cr
nominal Reformers no argument in their favour will
be palatable. Till the Reform Bill be carried (and
accidents may prevent its being soon carried), the
people cannot for one moment afford to be off their
guard.
" It has been objected to Unions," says the ReOfrett-
Aire Reformer. " that they would controul the Legi-
slature ; and that, if the Legislature were chosen by the
people, this ought not to be the case. To this we would
answer shortly, that if the Legislature be not chosen by
the people, the great use of these Unions would be, first,
ohtain possession of that power which is unjustly held,
and then their continued existence would be necessary for
the purpose of keeping it. The Legislature ought either
to be suhservitnt to the will of the people, or it ought not.
If the Legislature rule the people without controul, then
the people are subjected to tyranny. On the other hand,
if the Legislature be the servant of the people, it follows as
a loaner of course that the people Lave a right to controul
it in any. manner which they may see most advantageous
far their own interust ; and of all the modes by which
this can be effected, we know of none equal to that of
String universally and indissolubly united together ; in
fact, the advantages of union for the attainment of any
object are so obvious, that reasoning on the subject is un-
necessary, far man and even the inferior animals inherit
that knowledge by instinct. Our countrymen, in this re-
spect, have at last broken through the trammels which
bound them as the tools of an insignificant oligarchy.
They have at last taken the high road which is certain to
lead to their own freedom and that of their posterity ; and
we firmly trust that nothing will drive than from the
pith. Let them ever resist any attempt to disunite them,
with treater firmness than they would do an attempt to
deprive them of the Reform Bill. And, we again repeat,
let the people only universally and indissolubly unite as
they are at present doing, and, in defiance of Peers, bo-
toughrm.ngers, and Bishops, they will soon be the gover-
nors of Britain."
ti has been said, you have a King favourable to
Reform—you have a "Ministry pledged to Reform--
you have a House of Commons, which, by a large
majority, is also devoted to Reform ; why not then
repse confidence in the King, his Ministers, and
the house of Cemmons ? But, without taking
into account the possibility of changes of opinion,
we, have to observe, that life is held by an uncertain
tenure, and various accidents may occur by which
the fate of the Bill may be affected. The object of
the Ueions is to ensure Reform, happen what may.
If Reform be carried without delay, well and good;
but if any unforeseen difficulty occur, the Unions
bring the force of a united people instantly to bear
on -the depositaries of power. They destroy one
great motive for the intrigues of the Anti-Re-
formers, for the accidents On which the intriguers
found their hopes would cease to benefit them.—
By union and organization they are prepared for
the worst ; and no enemy can undertake arty thing
of importance before their sense can be collected.
Will it be said, that after the extraordinary delay
which has taken place, the people are not justified
in taking all possible precaution against acci-
dents? Delay is attended with the worst possible
consequences to the country. All business is at a
stand. In Paisley alone, the number of persons
connected with weavine, out of work, ,ccording to
a census, was about 3,000 the week before last ; in
this number are riot included the dyers and others
connected with the staple manufacture of the place.
Men cannot c
nneentrate their attention on their busi-
ness they are called off every moment to par-
ticipate in county, district, and parish meetings, to
say nothing of the various Unions necessary for fur-
thering Reform and guarding against confusion. Nli-
oisters must be aware of the great detriment caused
by the continuance of agitation, white, at the same
time, they must know that the continuance of agita-
tion is necessary to the success of Reform. We
ask, then, any man possessed of common sense, if he
Can suppose for a moment Ministers would riot in-
stantly proceed with the Bill, in order to put a
stop to the distress occasioned by agitation to
the country, if there were not serous difficulties
of some kind or other in their way ? To suppose
that they would ask for one hour's delay longer
than could be avoided, is to suppose them destitute
of all sympathy with the people, and utterly indiffe-
rent to their welfare. The people then, are forced
on the conclusion, that Ministers are not prepared
for the crisis, and from some means or other feel
themselves unable to move. The people must believe
them either lukewarm or embarrassed. There are but
two constitutional courses open to them—the crea-
tion of fresh Peers, or the proceeding with-
out the Peers ; and it does not surely require
months to decide betrreim these cotases—one of

which must be adopted. How can the people not
have these mi.givings when they do not see appear=
ances even of proceeding to the rites'iis necessary for
carrying the Refonn till into effect ? As to the
koTtest -el gaining on the Peers, we hold that to be
pure delusion. With men in their hearts sworn foes
to Reform, there can be no safe concert. What
they have done once thty will do again if they hove
the opportunity. At all events, it would be reel' to
confole in them. No set of mo•ii,be their previous
character whet it might, are entitled, under such
eiertfeestances, to ask a nation under such cif-
cumstances, to repose full confidence in ttee 'as-
surances of INlinistete that they P63itl,S the means of
carrying the Bill. If they possess the means, why
prostestinate ? A nation's interests are or too
much importance, to be exposed to the risk of acci-
dents; and of this the people must know :Knitters
themselves to be well aware.----.- Chronicle.
A Council ;1; is ;aid, to be held on Monday
next, feet t.xing the time to which Parliament shall
'oe prorogued. From all that we can learn, re are
afraid it is not intended that Parliament shall meet
in the .beginning of December. This its really tri'Ai'eg
with the patience of the nation, If Ministers see
their way, it tanttot surely be necessary to delay
proceeding esith the till till after the new year.
Theta is nothing that can be done then, that cannot
he eTtally well done now. As to the alleged diffi-
culty of obtaining the attendance of Members, this
cannot surely be seriously urged. The House of
Commons possessee the fieans of enforcing atten-
dance ; and !.sembeiet would not surely be so
beetith, as to resent such compulsion, by voting con-
trary to their pledges and their former
.ecteee. The
anxiety of the country and the eeenger of delay ought
surely far to ow weigh Any considerations of personal
indelgetree. Ministers must be perfectly aware of
their situation ; and we should suppose they would
be anxious not to incur the responsibility or the ad-
verse accidents which delay nosy engender. The
vtry doubts and feats which delay will suggest to the
people can hardly fail to lead to mischievous result.
If they possess the power, to decide on the steps to
he taken can surely be a matter of little difficulty.
We confess we dread a lengthened' protogation above
all things ; and we are sure that advantage will be
teken of it. Among public writers throughout the
country there is but one opinion on the subject of
the tickle, and timee writers are nearly the cream of
the universal feel".g.
" As very closely connesslsel With this subject (says Mr.
Colsbett, in his n,g;ster of this day ), I insert an account
of the: proceedines at s meeting of the Council of the Me-
tropolitan Polities] 'Mien. I beg my readers to psty at-
tention to the wirde of the report of tlioSe proceedings,
particularly to what is; contained in the speech of Mr.
Place. lie there tells us that be hears from good autho-
rity (aril I hslieve his authority to be good), that Parlia-
ment not assemble very speedily, and that he was
sorry to say the 'Ministers wore uncommonly anxions for
its meeting at a ellstant day. Now, I believe Mr. Place
to speak the truth here ; road if lie do speak the b tab,
this wish of the Nlinisters indicates one of two thiege—
insincerity, or want of power. Insincerity, in being de-
r •rtnined to propose a not so good for the people as the
last ; or want of power to carry the Bill they intend to
propose : fear to face the people, or fear to face the bo-
roushniongers. I defy any man living, who is at once
sensible and sincere, to come to any other conclusion.
The Ministers well know the horrible state into which the
country has been plunged : they well know that every-
body is anxiously looking for relief from this state ; they
know equally well that all but the beroughinongers and
the cormorants of various descriptions are looking to the
passim; of the Refutes Bill as the means of relief. They
swell know that their silence as to the intended Bill has
excited the strongest suspicions with regard to their inten-
tions ; they see themselves daily sinking in public estima-
tion, in constqlence of the rumours arising out of this
state of uncertainty. They must be the most unfeeling
creatures that ever breathed, not to wish for relief from
this degraded situation; and, therefore, if they do not
wish for a speedy meeting of Parliament, it is impossible
to believe that they mean to propose the same Bill again,
or anything like it, or that they think that they shall be
able to carry the Bill, or anything that they intend to pro-
pose."
Again, the Dublin Evening Post received yes-
terday says :
" But, when the Globe talks of the hypothetical ' pos-
sibility'—that is the word--of rejecting the Reform Bill
again, we can only say we wish we could share in our con-
temporary's confidence as to its ultimate success. We doubt
exceedingly the policy of encouraging hopes which may,
by possibility, be signally disappointed. Previously to the
discussion in the House of Lords, similar hopes were che-
rished and propagated, and when one hundred and ninety-
nine of their Lordships raid not-content to the demands of
a powerful and united people, we are told more emphati-
cally and loudly than ever to hope on. And so we do.
But really although the indulgence of this passion be very
delightful, there is something more upon which reasonable
men ought to rely. Well, hut then we have that also, it
will be replied. There are county and city meetings in
abUndance—there has been the Cambridgeshire election,
and the re-election of Sir John Key to the Mayoralty of
London. We are not amongst those who at the time un-
der-rated these demonstrations of public feeling. We never
considered them farces ; and we hope that the Tories will
have good reason to feel that the popular opinion expressed
through ccunty and city meetings is a substantive
power with which it is in vain for horouglimongery to
contend. But notwithstanding all these exhibitions of
the public will, if they he not followed up by the
Ministry, in the only effectual manner in which they
avail—namely, by taking prompt advantage of the
present tendency of the pubic mind, by convening Parlia-
ment, and creating Peers, the people will he throws back
on their own resources. One of these resources is an ar-
mament—not against the Government—as appears to be
insinuated—not even against the Tories, as has been
broadly stated, but against such mobs as devastated Bristol
—against those minor ruffians, which the great ruffian
from the Tory camp is now organising, not only against
property, but against the King's sacred person. We
confess we do not see any danger to the State in these mi-
litary combinations, in these British Volunteers, hut, on
the contrary, strength and security. We do not pretend
to say that Government or the parochial authorities have
failed in the performance of their duty, but we do say the
sooner Government and the authorities under them take
the matter up, the better it will he for the country. We,
for our own parts, would wish that Government would
undertake the initiative. For we are well aware that
arms might be used for a bad purpose as well as a good
one. We would desire that the Commissions should
issue from the King, and that the military arrangement
should he placed under the guidance of accountable agents,
because we %Arnold above all things deprecate any disunion
between the Government anti the People. But we should
deprecate, at the same time, most emphatically, at the pre-
sent moment any armed intervention with armed Associa-
t•iations composed, as they must be, of persons of sub-
stance and respectability."
Surely a Ministry who are proposing a measure to
give effect to public opinion will not be the first to
set an example of slighting public opinion, and
wrapping themselves up in the notion of the neces-
sity of all other considerations giving way to the
implicit confidence to which they are entitled.—
Morning Chronicle.
Few weeks pass without supplying indications of
the defective constitution of the Police Magistrates
of this great metropolis; and having regard to the
glaring manifestation of unsound judgment, ill-
temper, and imbecility of understanding on the part
of the Justices, so constantly recurring at the seve-
ral offices, it is impossible to resist the impression
that the salaries are inadequate to procure for this
department of the public service men capable of
performing its functions with the requisite ability
arid discretion; that there are some circumstances
connected with the office which prevent respectable
members of the profession from seeking it, or
that the Minister by
whom the appointments have
been made have bestowed them with a very culpable
indifference to the intellectual qualities of the men
appointed. We are induced to make these observa-
tions from noticing a case reported in the Chronicle
of Thursday, which occurred at Bow-street ; not
that the conduct of the Magistrates may deserve
the application in all the severity and exte7
the terms of animadversion which we have just em.
ployed, but there is still enough in their proceed-
ings to alarm any inhabitant of London, who re-
flects that he may be subject to a restraint of his
personal liberty, more or less prolonged, and to all
the annoyance and expence of a public trial, by the
indiscretion of one of these gentlemen. The case
to which we refer is, that in which a respectable

gentleman 0/FiS bind ged 'DY a common woman of the
town with having stolen her watch three years ago.
The gross improbabilities of the story are, one
should think, such as must strike the weakest un-
derstanding. What should tempt a man, placed,
above the necessity of, wants to tte,al
whicht, by the tel',ort o•i the woman, it appeared,
Was no't deemed a sufficient security for eleven

I obtain the opportunity of committing the theft,

tuity to the lady, a sum of thirty shillings bento
fasten the criminality upon the accused le-
man, who protested he had never seen the woman
before, there is not a single corroborating circum-
stance. On the contrary., he has been constantly
resident in .-ondon 'Since the date of the supposed
transaction, and in the constant habit of frequenting
places of public amusement. The whole case rests
upon the simple affirmation of the woman, who
might, for aught that appears to the contrary,, have
attributed the concubitus and lartety tc "t*,n'y of
Worships-, with e'S!ua!, f:r4ri':ltj, as io the unfortunate
entletiit'm on whom she fixed. Yet did Mr. Min-
shull hesitate even as to whether he should admit
him to bail ; and does then this sapient Justice core
ceive himself bound a, a Magistrate to commit for
trial any respectable individual against whot-si a plo-
stitute shall aller att inter nurse with le r and the
rrlOinihg of a trinket, although no single circum-
stance to show even the fact of the intercourse
having taken place may appear? If this be law,. if
we hold our liberties by no surer t'...:nurC, than the
regard for vert'atit'y entertained by the sisterhood of
the stews, the boast of English freedom is but a
hollow sound. Gravely speaking, then, we say it is
riot to be tolerated that a Magistrate should remain
upon the bench who is so ill-inf&ed or the proper
province e..nd objects of a conservative police, as to
suppose that a woman, who takes to her home and
bed the first stranger she meets, can challenge for
the property which she thus exposes, the same pro-
tection which it is the duty of the State.to extend to
individuals exercising. the drdiiaaiy prudence which
the law tray aid, but never ought to supersede.—

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLB OR 0U G S TREE T.
Yesterday Mr. John Joseph Stockdale, the publisher of
" Harriet Wilson's Memoir!," attended at this office, and
complained that a report, calculated to do very serious in-
jury to his character, had appeared under the head of
"111arlhoroughestreet," on the previous day, in the Times
Newspaper. Mr. Stockdale here read the report to which
he had alluded, and which was as follows
" Mr. Stephen Smith, one of the inspectors of the L
division of police, waited upon Sir George Farrint and
Mr. Conant, for the purpos; of asking their advice under
the following circumstances. He stated that a letter (of
Which the following is a copy—'Stockdale has just printed
a shilling book under the title of Mad Houses.' Its
contents being such as cannot escape notice, the sooner
you notice it the better, especially as your name is so con-
spicuous in the new volumes of a Hariet Wilson')—had
been sent to a gentleman of distinction residing at the west
end of the town, who had placed it in his (Mr. Smith's)
hands, in order that the opinion and advice of the Ma-
gistrates might he had upon it. Sir George Fat rant said
that he bad lately seen several letters similar to the one
produced by Mr. Smith. The object of the e riter was
evidently to extort money ; but as the letter in question
had no signature attached to it, the Magistrates could not
afford the applicant any advice as to what course lie should
pursue in the business,"
" I," continued Mr. Stockdale, " have no fault to find
with the Times; on the contrary, I feel exceedingly obliged
to the persons connected with that publication for having
done me the justice to insert the report, as they have
thereby afforded me an opportunity of publicly vindicating
my character, and set me upon my guard against a secret
enemy. Now, Sir, Ido hope that you will, as an act of
Justice, put me in possession of the name of the person of
distinction whom Mr. Inspector Smith represented."
Mr. Con.iter—You cannot but be aware, Mr. Stock-
dale, that you have no legal tight to ask for information
upon a matter which forms the subject fur a private com-
munication made to the Magistrates by an individual who
was not upon his oath.
Mr. Stockdale—The letter intimates that if some ar-
raneement he not made between the printer a it work
called Mad Howes and the person to whom the letter is
addressed, the latter may expect his name to be made con-
spicuous in that work. Now I, wi,hout hesitation or
disguise, declare myself to be the printer and publisher of
the publication called Mad Houses, but to neither of the
two persons whose conduct is so properly exposed there,
not to any other individual, did I ever write a letter of the
description of the one which has been published in the
Times. What, in the mine of Heaven, has a police-
constable to do with such matters? What right hail
Inspector Smith to make an application to a Magistrate
concertling the obnoxious letter ? Why could not the
gentleman to whom it was addressed have made the appli-
cation in his own person ?
Mr CoNANT—I cannot inform you ; nor can I in any
way itttetfere in the matter of which you complain.
Mr. Stockdale—l ant perfectly aware that I have ren-
dered myself disagreeable to many perecne, because I have
lal:oured to expose vice to the censure of the world
There are a set of miscreants who prowl about seeking
whom they shall destroy. They insinuate themselves into
the favour and confidence of kind ant' unsuspecting men,
and afterwards tsetify their gratitude by the seduction of a
beloved wife or a darling child. These are the reptiles
with whom I make war.
Mr. CONANT--I beg you will desist. Mr. Stockdale—
Excuse me, Sr ; these are matters of great public inte-
rest. I have the gratification to know that I have done
a great deal of good by the works that I have published,
and I consider myself entitled to the gratitude of the public.
Mr. CONANT—Officer, bring forward the next case.
Mr. S,oclittile— Am Ito hive no re dress, Sir ?
Mr. CONANT--It is not in my power to afford you any.
Mr. Stockdale—l have had the advice of Counsel, and
shall certainly commence legal proceed in, sin another place.
Mr. Stockdale then left the office, evidently much dose
satisfied at the result of his application.
HAT T ON- GARDEN.
Yesterday Charles Kemp, alias the Hon. James Kemp,
was brought up for re-examination on various charges of
swindling, wle n the office was crowded to excess by jet,/
cllers, tailors, boot and shoe makers, &c., and the greatest
interest was manifest on the occasion, nut only on the part
of those who had to prefer charges against the prisoner,
but numbers who were actuated by curiosity.
At twelve o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar, by
Waddington, the gaoler, attired in the habiliments as on
his first appearance.
Mr. Collins, the jeweller and engraver, of Piccadilly,
was called forward and sworn ; but preparatory to his
having his former evidence read over, the prisoner said—
" Your Worship, I beg to state that I have consulted with
a professional gentleman, who, I find, is not in attendance,
and, consequ,ntly, I ant quite unprepared, in hie absence,
to meet any charges that may be brought against me."
Mr. ROGERS seid, that he, the prisoner, was aware of
the time appointed for the examination, and he could have
provided himself with necessary assistance. He ordered
the case to proceed.
Prisoner—Then prior to the charge of Mr. Collins
against me, allow me to object to his evidence. I can as-
sure your worship that Mr. Collins, in the presence of Mr.
Tetsal, made me a most solemn pledge that he would not
prosecute me if I delivered up to him the duplicates of
the property pledged.
Mr. Collins denied that he did so.
Mr. Tetsal here stepped forward, and stated positively
that the prisoner's representation was correct ; and he,
Mr. Tetsal, could swear that Mr. Collins did promise
not to prosecute, if the duplicates were given up to him
by the prisoner, on which he delivered them to him.
Mr. Roe Cuts 401(1 him that be would send the prisoner
before the Judges for trial ; and if he (Mr. Tetsal) thought
proper, he might attend, and state what he knew of the
transaction.
Edward Woods, apprentice to Mr. Need, pawnbroker,
of Bridge-street, Lambeth, stated that the prisoner pledged
the watch (now produced) at his master's shop on the 7th
of November,—the value being 25/.
Mr. Collins identified the property.
Mr. William Iteggetts, of 45, Dover-street, Piccadilly,
son to the proprietor of Raggett's Hotel, deposed that the
prisoner called at his father's hotel on the morning of the
sth of November, and inquired whether he could have a
suite of apartments. He was shown a sitting and bed
room., elegantly furnished, of which he approved, and
agreed to enter immediately.
Mr. Rot-Atm—What did he represent himself to be?
Mr. Raggett—He represented himself to be the " Hon.
James Kemp," that he had lately returned from Bombay,
and his luggage was at the docks.
Mr. ROGERS—How did the prisoner leave the house?
Mr. Raggett—There is a door leading from the bed-room
into the hall, through which the prisoner left with the
property calmly, as if nothing particular had happened.
The hair-dresser was with him when Mr. Collins came,
and was heating his tongs preparatory to curling the pri-
soner's hair, when he escaped, and both the barber and
jeweller were impatiently waiting the return of the " Hon.
Gentleman," until they were informed that he had gone out.
Thomas Beckett, pawnbroker, deposed that the diemond
ring was pledged at his master's shop in Werdour-street,
Soho, on the sth of November.
Mr. Raomes—Who pledged it with you? Witness—
Why really I can't swear to that ; the prisoner's brother
is in the outer office, and the resemblance in every respect
between them is so striking, that I cannot take upon my-
self to swear to the prisoner.
Mr Roo efts theu ordered Mr. Collins and the other
witnesses to be bound over to prosecute the prisoner for
,‘ feloniously stealing the property."
Mr. Mopsey, boot-maker, of No. 11, Southampton-row,
Holborn, deposed that a waiter from Raggctt'a Hotel called
on and requested him to attend upon the " Hon. James
Kemp" to measure him for a pair of boots. He called and
did so, and took the boots home, on which the prisoner
trid them on and said, " Leave your account." Witness
replied that he always expected payment on delivery of the
goods. " Irrieed," said the prisoner; " I have no ready
cash about me, what shall I do?" Witness said he
would rather decline leaving the boots. Theprhist naty
oier
affected surprise, and said, " What! do you doubt
honour ?" Having the boots on his feet, he (witness)
had ho other alternative than to accede to his request to
accompany him to Islington, where he knew a friend, who

46 known. Oa searching his porttnanteau it was discovered
48
46 to be full of shavings.
58 A master tailor, of Bishopsgate-street, deposed, that on
44

-44 presented himself as Lieutenant Campbell, and ordered a
^ naval jacket (which he now had upon his back), which he
