Sir PETER LAURIE decided that the witness should
be heard as to what she observed with regard to any
rapers which were burnt.
Witness said that she saw the remains of some burnt
papers in the kitchen, which were not there when she
went out with the note. Some water had been thrown
on the kitchen grate. She never saw her master from
the time she took the note from him till she saw him in
custody at the Mansion-house.—Adjourned.

GUILDHALL.
CAUTION TO JEWELLERS.--A decent looking female,
named Anne Keane, was brought before Mr. Alderman
Lainson on the following charge :
Mrs. Mary Anne Rose, a jeweller, carrying on busi-
ness at No. 90, Farringdon-street, said that the prisoner
came into her shop last night, and asked to see some
wedding rings, when a tray, containing a great number,
was laid before her, from which she selected one,
and soon afterwards, pretending to drop something,
stooped down, and, upon arising, laid hack a ring on
the tray, saying she would call again, Witness observed
this ring appeared larger than the rest, and, upon exa-
mining it, found it was brass, and to have been substi-
tuted for the nne which the prisoner originally took.
She was then given into custody.
The constable, who took the prisoner into custody,
said that no ring was found on her at the station-house.
He had been informed that a person answering to her
description, had been to vario-as jewellers' shops in the
neighbourhood, trying the same trick.

Tile ALDERMAN sentenced her to two month4' im-
prisonment in the House of Correction.
Joseph Miller, who list] been previously examined on
a charge of possessing a quantity of stolen lead, was
again placed at the bar.

It appeared that the prisoner had been apprehended
whilst selling some sheet-lead at the shop of Mr. Fen-
ton, a plumber in Smithfield, and having stated that he
was a carrier in Hemel-Hempstead, and had been em•
ployed by a man named Holland to dispose of it for
him in town, inquiries were made there, when it was
found that a quantity of sheet lead had been stolen
from the mansion of Mr. Ryder, a magistrate of the
county of 'forts, residing near Hemel-Hempstead.
In compliance with a request from the Magistrates
of the above district, the prisoner was sent there for
final examination.

BANK FOR SAVINGS.—The managers of the
East London Bank for Savings and Annuities, in making
their third annual report on the afftirs of the bank, state
that it has been successful beyond their most sanguine ex-
pectations. This circumstance is gratifying, not merely
as it is the reward of disinterested exertion, but chiefly as
it shows that such an institution was needed, and that the
classes for which it is intended are beginning more exten-
sively to appreciate its value. The receipts of the year
from 20th of November, 1839, to 20th of November, 1840,
are 9,9971. 6s Sd., and the total receipts from the com-
mencement, July, 1837, arc 25,0081. 103. 3d., making the
increase on the last year more than double. The number
of new accounts opened in the year are five hundred and
forty-nine, and the number of deposits made seven thou-
sand six hundred and twenty-three.
D EA TH BY FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between
nine and ten o'clock, a respectable married woman named,
Harriet Burrows, who resided at No. 6, Flask.row, Pim-
lico, was accidently burnt to death under the following
distressing circumstances. It appeared that the deceased
was engaged about some culinary operation near the fire,
when her apron ignited and in 51, instant her cl,‘thes were
all in flames ; every assistance was promptly rendered but
without effect, as she -was in a few minutes burnt to death.
The body is at the house awaiting an Inquest.
