Mr. Woolf said that was the case for the prose-
cution.
Mr. Binns addressed the magistrate on behalf of
Doyle. He said there was nothing to show tat his
client was implicated in the transaction. The evidence
of Price went to show that there were only two per-
sons engaged in the transaction.
Mr. Burrell—It seems to me that the circumstan-
tial evidence is sufficiently strong for me to commit
the whole of the prisoners upon this charge. Al-
though it is my intention to commit the whole of the
prisoners for trial, I shall remand them again until
next Thursday; indeed, lam not yet determined
whether I shall not remand them over the next
session, as in a case of this very serious description
I am desirous of giving as much time as possible, as
some further circumstances may come to light which
will advance the ends of justice, and strengthen the
case already laid before me for prosecution.
Mr. Binns expressed a hope that the magistrate
would not commit his client for trial without hearing
a proof of his alibi.
Mr. Burrell was not disposed at present to say that
he would receive such evidence.
The prisoners were then removed.
The examination lasted between five and six hours,
and did not conclude until long after the usual hour
of closing the court.

BEGGING LETTER IMPOSTORS.
About a fortnight ago a decently-dressed woman
called upon Mr. Harmer, at Ingress Park, Kent, with
a petition, representing that her name was Smith;
that she was a widow, and the owner of the fishing
smack Mary, which was unfortunately lost, with all
her gear, on the night of the 2d of September last,
off Margate ; and her husband, with another, having
perished at sea about three years ago, she was left
with a large family, solely dependent on her exertions
for support, and that she was under the painful ne-
cessity of applying to the benevolent for assistance.
This memorial had appended to it the names of the
Rev. Mr. Renouard, Mr. Filcher, Mr. Gladdish, Mr.
Rosher, Mr. Pallister, and several other gentlemen,
with various sums as donations, and the woman gave
Mr. Harmer a letter addressed to him by Mrs.
Brenchley, of Northfleet, stating " that she hid
known the bearer, Mary Smith, for many years
that she was truly deserving of assistance, being Is
widow, and having a large family and an aged mother
depending on her for support." Mr. Harmer having
been frequently imposed on by similar applications,
and suspecting the truth of the statement, told the
woman he would keep the petition, and as he was
going to Northfleet, he would see Airs. Brenchley,
who so strongly recommended her ; and directly the
woman left him he sent for one of his servants, named
William Wilson, who is a constable, and gave him
ten shillings, desiring him to accompany the woman
to the Rev. Mr. Renouard, who is a magistrate, and
if he found that the signature of that gentleman to
the petition was genuine, to give her the money, but
if not, to detain her. While, however, Mr. Harmer
was giving these directions, the woman had gone off;
and, notwithstanding instant pursuit was made, she
could not be met with. On Monday morning last,
Mr. Harmer was informed that a woman, answering
the description of the impostor, was in company with
a man at a public•house, about a mile distant, where-
upon he sent Wilson, the constable, with his footman,
who had seen, and could identify the woman, to see
her, and if she was the impostor, to apprehend her
and her companion. They presently after fell in with
the parties, and the footman recognising the woman,
they took them both into custody. On the woman
was found a petition, nearly similar to that handed to
Mr. Harmer, the only variation being that the name
of the applicant was Ashdown, and that the vessel was
lost off Harwich. It had the names of the Rev.
Mr. :Davies, Mr. W. Colyer, C. Swaisland,
A. Applegarth, F. Dashwood, Mr. Pigou, and
others, with various sums added to their
names. On the man was found a memorial, stating
that the bearer, Mr. George Fleet Evenden (formerly
in the Royal Navy), was lately master and owner of
the trading barge Hope, which was run down by a
brig, at present unknown, off the Essex coast, on the
when on her passage from Ipswich,

men,l2aodtehn of

wheat;last,
one of whom, the eldest son of the master,
perished; and the loss of the vessel was estimated at
4601. This also was numerously signed, many of the
names being genuine, of gentlemen who had been
imposed upon by the melancholy description of the
petitioners misfortunes. On the petitioners being
taken before the Rev. Mr. Davies, at Bexley, the pri-
soners gave their names as Parker, and that worthy
magistrate was not a little surprised at finding his
name standing at the head of one of the petitions as
a donor of 11. When he questioned the prisoners as
to how they became possessed of so many petitions,
which were evidently not of their writing, the man
replied that he could buy hundreds in London, but
refused to tell where. The magistrate convicted the
prisoners, and sentenced them to be confined for three
months in the House of Correction for the county,
and to be kept to hard labour. On being taken to
Maidstone gaol the man was recognised as an old
offender.—Dispatch.

MILITARY BALL AT WINDSOR.-It is always a
gratifying circumstance to witness a good and kindly
feeling existing between the commissioned and non-
commissioned officers in her Majesty's service. A ball
was given on Wednesday evening, at the Hope Inn,
Frogmore-road, by the colonel and officers of the Royal
Horse Guards (Blue) to the non-commissioned officers
of the regiment, and their wives and friends; the num-
ber present being upwards of 159, including several of
the 'Windsor tradesmen. Several of the officers, amongst
whom were Lord George Lennox, Hon. Mr. Milks, and
Captain Fox Maule, were also present, and joined in
the dance. The band of the regiment performed during
the evening.

FIRE AT THREE CRANES WHARF.--Last evening,
between the hours of six and seven, considerable alarm
was caused in Upper Thames-strei tby a fire upon the
premises belonging to Messrs. Knight, wholesale oilmen
and drysalters, Three Cranes-wharf, near Southwark-
bridge, by which ono man was seriously burned. It
appears that a man of the name of Yorke was passing
through the warehouse with a lighted candle in his hand,
when from some mishap the light came in contact with
a cask of naptha, and in an instant it became ignited,
and the blazing spirits ran along the ground. The man
succeeded in getting out with the flames rising from his
clothes completely over his head. After running a few
yards down the lane the unfortunate man fell dowcneceodmed-
pletely exhausted. Some of the wharfingeHrses

the London evening papers of Monday of the failure of

aro glad to say that the part of the disp itch regarding
the funds was not so bad, they never having been lower
than 83k, at which they left off. We are not sure of the
propriety of these " telegraphic dispatches." Had the

anonymous house, it would have excited no anxiety in

HULL, Nov. 18.--Today the election of
councillors took place, in the room
of two
who have been
'
elevated to the dignity of aldelinie Ward, and Dr.
Mitchell was elected for Market-II acoMr. Thomas
Cooper for West Senhou
e's Ward. Both are Liberals,
s
and were not opposed. There
are now three doctors in
the Hull Council; it may, therefore, be expected that
the health of the borough will be well attended to.
The Right Hon. Lady Eleanor Fortescue died pos-
sessed
of personalty which was estimated for probate
duty at 18,000 Z, and had executed her will in December,
1545, by which she left the whole of her property (with
the exception of two legacies of 1,0001. each) to her
nephew, the Hon. Dudley Francis Fortescue, who, with
Lord Viscount Ebrington, are her executors.
