_a Porter eniplOye'l at
the sign of the White. Bear, Barbican; iyas brought
before Alderman Sir M. Ihoxitg, under the cir-
cumstances following :.--;•;4.lartha Dirdtileo, ti
young woman from •the country, stated; that t,iie
came to town on Monday, by the Northampton
Coach. She got off.the roof in AhierSgate,strect,
at three. o'clock in the afternoon, and in the even,
ing
.went.with her box to the White Bear in Bar.;
bican, to take, a place in the Uornsey stage, in
order to 1 e c(mveyed to a faMily which had hi:ed
her ,as a -servant.' The prisoner stood at the
door, and considering hint to be the porter em-
ployed by the house, she gave het box, which
he .took to .place it, as she supposed, in ti
coach. In less than ten minutes atter he returned
to. her, exclaiming, " de d—d if it is nut
gone;"- it was then understood that her box ..va4
Jost. It contained wearing apnarsl,. and all she
had. Theyoumr,wornen described herself to b;
a stranger in andon, wit:lto:it friends, and re-
quested that .the defendant, or his empioFcr.t,
would zt- least make her a compensation for the
loss of her property. .Notwithstanding her en-
treatie.l,• no satisfaction was. viforded, end actinir,
under the advice of the crowd, which assemblea
in consequence of her niisfortune, she sent for a
constable, by whom the defendant was taken int..l
.6istOth,-. In an.3;ver to the charge, he said be
had b!'en five r_ars as -porter at the. White Bear,
and could have a good character for hbuesty.
admitted that he received the. box from the cnnf-
plainant, and that he put it on the bout of the
coach, from whence it was stolen, as lre suspected,
by the driver of a hackney coach:
The mistress of the White Bear' blamed the
young woman forr.ot triving brought the boX to
the bar, where parcels were usuaily received for
the Coach. She achnitted, however, that the de-
fcnzh at was-her servant.

.
worthy Alderman expressed anOpmirm that
he could not 'turn away the young woman without
redress. It was a hard case for a servant corning
many miles from the country to lose her all, and
perhaps her place, by the negligence of porters
employed to. take care of goods intended for con-
veyance. On *the whole view of the case, he
•orderedthe defefida.nt to pay the girl forty shil-
lings, the value of her box.) On expressing
some relactatice to comply, he was remanded for
farther examination this day, and informed, that
he should not be discharged beCore he had made
proper satisfaction.

HATToN,GARDEN.--Three well-dressed young
Men were apprehended on Friday evening last, by
the Ce!stables, of St. Mary-le-bone parish, aided
by Ty\Tot(l the officer, under a charge of beingfound
in the act of conveying a small bundle, containing
a variety of gold seals, a gOld chain, and a watch
together with Several silver spootis„ the property
of Mr. North, ,shoplieeper, with his name and.
address'. thereon engraved, were' examined this
da*,, for the first time. The spoons were bent
doable, and twisted in a, state fit• for fusion.
The servant maid deused that the spoons were
Stokn within the last th7ee weeks, during her
mistre,„,s ,„,,,:,„:„„7-,..mpnt. One of the prisoner 4
sUited-, that he bought the spoons in rue tine of
his trade, as a ‘vt)rking jeweller ot goldsmith,
and could find the person the bought them from.
There were Many 1.3..mir. notes also found upon
them, which they nor: claimed us their own pro-
perty, but they were detained for inspection at
the bank.
kancoak, the officer,- now preferred another
charge of a capital nature against, the prisoners,
having seized a box and a person carrying it into
the house of one gat the prisoners, which box con-
tained four or five hundred ;-,ounds worth of goods
stolen from Eirmingbam. The prisoners were re-
manded.

. UNION HALL.--Fraud and Forgerg.--4ame3
Leggatt and John Barnes were brought before
the Sitting Magistrate by Holmes, on a charge of
forgery and fraud. It appeared, that frauds to a
considerable extent have been committed of late
upon the several performers at the Surrey Theatre,
by persons attending at the doors on benefit
nights, and selling forged tickets. Steps were
taken, if possible, to detect the perpetrators of
this cheat, and on Monday evening last, it being
fir. Gibbon's benefit, two persons were stopped
at the box entrance offering two forged tickets,
by Mr. Paynel, one of the performers. On in-
quiry, they said they botight them 'of a woman at
the door. Mr. Payne went out with them, and
they pointed out a woman named Kirby, who was
taken into custody by Holmes, the officer. She
had then in her possession four other box tickets,
which also on examivation.proved to be forged.
.She stated, that she bought them of Leggatt, the,
prisoner, the six for tweive shillings. She point
ed Leggatt out to Holmes, and on -his being taken
into custody, be confessed he forged the tickets,
and sold them to Mrs. Kirby. Soon afterwards,'
the Other prisoner, Barnes, cane up. to Mrs.
Kirby, and offered her six pit tickets at half price.
She took them from him as if going to purchase
them, but, instead of paying him, called Mr.
Payne, as had been agreed. on. ,Hearing this,
Barnes attempted,to snatch the tickets from her,
but failed. He then ran away, but was pursue:i
by Holmes, and. secured.. Mr. Gibbon attended,
and proved that. both the pit and box tickets
were forged. The prisoners were both fully com-
mitted for trial for the fraud.
