MARLBOROUGH - STREET. - Yesterday George
Lentz and IL-Knight were examined on various-.
charges of fraud. , It appeared, that they took
splendid apartments at four guineas a week, repre-
s:mted thetaselves as having just left college, and
belonging to families of distinction. With this
description of themselves, and' their gentlentai.!ly
deportment, all the tailors; boot-takers,- jewel-
lers, &e. in the neigh'bourhood, became. dupes to
their artifice. The charges were too numerous t 4)
enter into at length, and the prisoners were re-
manded till a future days. -

BOW-STREET.--Oil Monday an Irish woman,
who sells fruit near the entrance to the Sans Pa-
ra! Theatre, in the Strand, was brought before
Mr. BIRNiE, chargetl'Ath making a disturbance,
and creating a riot at that Theatre. On investi- 4
gating the cause, it turned out that a man of a re-
spectitble appearance bad inquired of her for a dis-
tressed Irish woman. She repi:ed, she did not know
of anymore distressed than herself. lie then said he
supposed she was the w knuan he was in search of ;
told her be wa!, a subscriber to a charitable so-
ciety, and contrived to get all the money she poi-
sessed, which was Ls. Gd. and a quantity of half-
pence, amounting to a few shillings, which he said
she must give him to spew at the Society that she
wits not,possesseclof any more, and he gave her
for present relief two pieces of paper, purporting
to be two 1/. Bank of England notes, to which,
the poor woman very readily and thankfully
agreed. lie afterwards went into the Sans Pareil
Theatre. In a short time atter the poor wotnam
discovered that she had been defrauded of her all
by a pitiful thief, as the two pieces of paper, pur-
porting to be Bank notes, proved to he (Lily penny
notes, manufactured in imitation of Bank note's.--
,She was of Course discharged, butit is hoped this
pitifnl swindler will soon be detected.
