MORE GEMS FROM THE " HUE AND CRY."
From the above publication of Thursd ,y last we
take the following, under the head of Cork County:—
Description of two cows, the property of Michael
Hurley, &c. Ist—" Three years old ; head and neck
white—short horns in calf(!) 2d—* 0 A -few white
spots on the back, and long horns in calf !"—(Valuable
horns these I)
Description of a mare stolen from Daniel Kenneally—
" A red mare has a bad mouth about 14 hands high !
(This mare must have ruined any man—a mouth 14
hands high would be capable of drawing; in a small cock
of hay at a pulL)
The following is given in full, it is under the head of
the County of Dublin► -the property is described as be-
longing to R. G. Talbot, Esq.,. parish of Monkstown•—
" One silver inkstand, with a place for two bottles, one
being oval glass in the centre, two grooves for pens which
stood on four feet marked with a cockatrice's crest!"
"A gentleman's gold ring, with a light lavender stone,
with a man's head engraired on a lady's small work-
box!" (It will prove rather a tough job to unravel the
above paragraph.)
From Kildare there is a description of a mare stolen
from a Mr. Andrews, the tail of the animal being valued
at 181.! (Quere—What is the value of the mare when
the tail is worth the above sum?)
It appears that heifers attain an age in Londonderry
County never heard of in other parts, for we have the
description of " a heifer, twelve years old," which was
stolen from Mr. S. Church, of that county. (Cows in
Connaught, we are told, have long horns; well, here's
a match for them—heifers in Londonderry twelve years
old!)

From Meath, amongst other things, there is a descrip-
tion of a " vagabond" nawed John Lee, containing the
following paragraph :—" Brown eyes, which appears as
if he had shaved off his whiskers!"
Mr. Pat. Naughten, of Mayo, lost a heifer, described
as "all white, except a little, and one of her horns."
The following is a Monaghan bull :—Description of
two yearling oalves—lst a bull; 2d, a heifer calf ; all red
or yellow.
John M‘Narnara, of Farnans, Queen's County, lost a
mare, which is described "as between a poney and a
horse, with a long tail, about 14 hands high!" (This tail
is just the size of the mare's mouth, No. 1.)
Thomas Wright, one of the Ballingarry rebels, is de-
scribed as "very very jotrgrive, and thinks himself a great
politician. Supposed to, be At present in the city or Cove
of Cork, as he sailed for America from Liverpool on the
13th August I"
In Tuesday's publication of the Hue and Cry, our old
friend head Constable Taylor (who described the pistol
found by him;and which he stated had several invisible
marks) has improved on the pistol—the round barrel is
now described "as a square barrel."
John Sexton, one of the "rebels," who was described
in a former number of the Hue and Cry, as having "two
blue eyes, and blind of one of them," is set out in Tues-
day's publication as " with one blue eye," and "blind of
one eye."

such are the gems of the two last numbers.

ANNUAL VISIT OF THE LORDS OP- THE ADMIRALTY
TO CHATHAM DOCKYARD, SEPT. 11.—This morning, at
half-past ten o'clock, the Admiral's tender, the Wildfire
steam-vessel, from Sheerness, passed the
ockyard with
the Admiralty flag at the mast head, and proceeded up
the Medway to the Strood station at the Gravesend and
Rochester Railway, and—there embarked Admiral James
Dundas, Captain M. F. Berkeley, Right Hon. Lord John
Hay, Captain A. Milne, Captain Archibald Irvine, C. 84
director of engineering and architectural works; Cap-
tain Sir Baldwin Walker,- K.C.R; Captain A. Ellice,
comptroller of steam machinery; and Captain Henry
Eden, private secretary, to the.: First Lord,
who came by train from Gravesend, their Lord-
ships having disembarked at ten minutes after ten, A.M.,
from the steam-packet Adder, Master Commander John
Hammond, which left Woolwich at eight o'clock. Their
Lordships on landing were received by Capt. Sir T.
Bouchier, K.C.8., Captain-superintendent of the yard,
and Alexander Kerley, Esq., master attendant ; F. J.
Laire, Esq., master shipwright; and other officers of the
yard. Colonel John Wright, K.H., commandant of the
Royal Marines, also met their Lordships, and presented
them with the strength of the division. Their Lordships,
attended by a numerous train of officers, proceeded to
inspect the several departments of the yard, and the
works connected with the raising of three extensive iron
sheds for building first-class ships ; also a new basin,
capable of holding a first-rate line-of-battle ship and
threelfrigates ready for service. Their Lordships then
inspected the slip from which the Mars, 80 guns, was
recently launched : it is very defective, and will
require a considerable outlay for repair. They next
proceeded to the mast and boat house, and then to
slip No. 8, where the Elfin steam-vessel of 90 tons
is building. She is to be a mail boat for con-
veyance of dispatches from Gosport to Os-
borne, and is being built upon the dia••
gonal principle, with mahogany. She is expected to be
the fastest packet in the service. Their Lordships then
proceeded to the parade-ground belonging to the Dock-
yard Brigade, and minutely inspected the defective state
of the wall, recently erected by contract, and which has
sunk in parts several inches. They next inspected the
Armoury of the Dockyard Battalion, and the cleanliness
of the arms and the regularity of the department gave
much satisfaction. Their Lordships next witnessed the
process of making sheets of copper and copper bolts,
&c.; but owing to the great heat of the furnaces, their
Lordships did not remain there any length of time, and
at one o'clock they repaired to the residence of the cap
Lain superintendent, and took luncheon. At two o'clock
they inspected the seamen and seamen riggers, and also
the dockyard police force. Admiral Dundas and Cap-
tain Berkeley, with Lieutenant Wise, director of police,
inspected the station, and each department gave the
utmost satisfaction. Finally, after visiting the guard-
ship Poictiers, their Lordships took their departure; and
went on board the Wildfire, which conveyed them to the
railway station, where a special train wrs in readiness to
take them to ravesend, and they returned to WoolwiCh
by the Adder steam-packet.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 11.—Field-Marshal the Marquis of
Anglesey, the Master-General of the Ordnance, arrived
here on Friday afternoon, in his yacht the Pearl.
On Saturday morning, accompanied by Major-General
the lion. Henry Murray, Commander of Forces for the
Western District; Colonel Oldfield, Royal Engineers;
Lieutenant-Colonel Rowland, Royal Artillery; Captain
F. H. Rimington, Royal Engineers; and Captain G.
Graydon, Royal Artillery, the Noble Marquis proceeded
to inspect the defences at Mount Wise, and thence went
to the Plymouth citadel. The more especial object here
appeared to bo the examination of the recent improve-
ments and additions to the sea-facing of this important
fortress, executed under the active Superintendence of
Colonel Oldfield, the resident Commander of Engineers
for the district. Proceeding across the Parade the dis-
tinguished party ascended the ramparts to the Old Sa-
luting Battery, and turning •to the eastward passed
through Cumberland Battery to the south-east point
of the fortifications, where a 32-pounder on a rovolv-
ing platform has been erected for the protection of
Catwater and its vicinity. Some time was occupied
in the inspection of this position and in the examina-
tion of the asphalte covering on the main walls
and embrasures from the Old Saluting Battery to
this point. Passing through Prince Edward's Battery
and Curtain, the Noble Marquis descended from the
ramparts and examined the church, which has been al

most entirely reconstructed, and the Grand Magazine,
where some serviceable additions have been made. The

dry condition of this building and its contents met with
the approbation of the Noble Marquis. The lower fort,
on which has been recently built a guardhouse, powder
magazines, a furnace for red-hot shot, &c., was next
inspected; after which his Lordship and the Colonel of
Engineers left the citadel by water, end having joined
the yacht proceeded to St. Nicholas Islatsd, where a half-
moon battery on revolving platforms has been con-
structed and new barracks and furnaces erected.
On Sunday the Marquis of Anglesey dined with the
Commander of-the Forces at the Government-house,
Mount Wise; and on Monday left Plymouth in his
yacht accompanied by Colonel Oldfield, RE., for the
westward.

This morning Rear-Admiral Reynolds hoisted his
flag, blue at the mizen, on board the frigate Southamp-
ton, 50, in Plymouth Sound, and was saluted by the
Port Admiral's ship, San Josef, 110, Sir Thomas Mait-
land, in I.lamoaze.

Her Majesty's, store depot, Andromache, 26, Master
Commander T. Johnson, 'arrived on Friday from the
Cove of Cork, and was this afternoon towed into Ila-
n:104n by the steam sloop, Hermes.

The emigrant ships Lady Kennaway, for Port Me-
laide, and the Johnson, for Port Philip, sailed to-day.
The Waliner Castle sails this evening.
The Earl of Wilton, in his yacht the Tarifa, arrived
this morning from the eastward.
Wind northerly, light breeze, with clouds.

ARREST OF A CHARTIST WRITER.—Mr. Superin-
' tendent Beswick, of the Manchester police force, appre-
hended Joseph Barker, of Wortley, near Leeds, about
seven o'clock on Monday evening, on a bench warrant,
fur sedition. Mr. Barker, who has made himself con-
spicuous as a writer in a weekly publication called The
People, was one of the body of Chartists against whom
indictments were preferred at the late Liverpool assizes;
and it was by virtue of the warrant then issued against
him that he was apprehended. On Saturday last he put
forth an address to the electors of Bolton, offering him-
wolf as a candidate to represent that borough in Parlia-
ment in the room of the late Mr. W. Bolling. He had
addressed a meeting in Bolton on Friday evening, and
came into the town to deliver a second speech on Mon
day, but was taken into custody by Mr. Beswick, with
whom was Mr. Superintendent Harris, of the police force,
shortly before the holding of the meeting at which ha
was to speak. Mr. Barker was at the office of Mr. H. M.
Richardson, solicitor, when arrested.

FOREIGN DRUGS.—An inquiry having recently
been instituted as to the liability to duty of magnesia
imported from abroad, it having been customary at one
of the principal outports to levy the ad valorem duty of
10 per cent. thereon, in consequence of its having under-
gone various processes of calcining and mixing with other
ingredients, and therefore no longer retaining the cha-
racter of a simple drug, but as the article termed calcined
magnesia is in public and general estimation considered
to be a drug, andis, in fact, largely dealt in by all drug-
gists, it, has become matter for consideration whether it
should not be admissible free under that general- head in
the tariff, as the table of duties does not define the de-
scription of drugs which shall be free from liability to
duty, or otherwise, neither that they shall be merely es.
senses, or not a combination of different materials, or
shall not be in a prepared state, but simply enumerated
as " drugs," without reference to their actual character
or qualities. For these reasons, and on the principle
that all articles which are applicable to and intended for
medicinal purposes, whether in their primitive state or
having undergone a degree of manufacture, should be
considered drugs, provided they are not actually and in-
dividually mentioned in the tariff as being liable to duty
under any particular rate, it has been considered that
such was the intention of the Legislature in repealing
the duty on drugs, and that magnesia is such an•article,
and therefore admissible duty free. The question as to
what constitutes a drug has frequently engaged the at-
tention of the revenue authorities, when there was some
doubt entertained whether articles which were not en•
tirely; and only applicable to medicinal purpose§, should
be considered drugs, but no doubt existed as to those
which were applicable to medicinal purposes being so
classified. This decision, as it will govern future im-
portations of the article, is of much interest and im-
portance.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and
a Bench of Magistrates.)
Mr. PRENDERGAST, in the course of yesterday, said
he was about to make a somewhat extraordinary ap-
plication, and it was one, too, which very much af-
fected a gentleman of the name of Wooller, who in
years gone by occupied a very celebrated position be-
fore the public. Mr. Wooller, however, was not the
same as he had been in the days to which he referred;
for the the truth was, that the infirmities with which
that gentlemrn had long been visited had rendered
him quite a different man. However, be that as it
might, Mr. Wooller had, in serving a client, placed
himself in a difficulty. It appeared that a person
whom Mr. Wooller was instructed to defend had been
convicted by the magistrate at the police-court of
some offence arising out of transactions in respect of
the possession of a watch, and thinking, as well
as his client, that the latter had a good de-
fence, he had given notice of an appeal against
the conviction at the last sessions. The defendant,
however, it would seem, had only one surety to
offer at the time ; therefore, on his solicitation, Mr.
Wooller consented to become the second surety. The
necessary sureties were thus given to. appear and pro-
secute the appeal. By some mistake, however, the
appeal was not entered, whereupon the recognizances
were entreated, and in pursuance of that estreat the
Sheriff had taken Mr. Wooller in execution, and that
gentleman had consequently been some days in prison.
As the matter now came before the Court, the ques-
tion was, whether the recognizances in the case of Mr.
Wooller were to be enforced or not.
The Learned JUDGE inquired the nature of the case
in which Mr. Wooller's client had appeared before the
magistrate.
Mr. PRENDERGAST replied, that it was connected
with some transaction about the possession of a watch,
and Mr. Wooller's client was ordered either to de-
liver up the watch, or to pay the supposed value,
6/. los. This was the decision against which the appeal
was to be made.
The Learned JUDGE then asked for the production
of the client (Morrison).
The client was not forthcoming.
The Learned JUDGE thereupon said that he should
be sitting for sevirardaYS., and if Mr. Wooller would
on any one of those days, deliver up-his client,l.Mor-
rison, or cause the payment of the 6/. 103., or the sur-
render of the watch, the Court would then have no
difficulty in directing the release of that gentleman.
As soon as Morrison was in custody, then there would
be no difficulty in the case. Let Morrison come in
and surrender, or let Mr. Wooller produce him ;
and then, when the principal was in limbo the
Court would at once proceed to the assistance of Mr.
Wooller.
Mr. PRENDERGAST was inclined to think that the
results pointed out were not the most seductive, nor
were they in his opinion sufficiently so to induce a
man to come into court personally.—(Laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE said, that either the watch,
or the 61. 10s., or the person of the client Morrison,
must be forthcoming before the Court could interfere.
THE GAMING-HOUSE] PROSECUTIONS.--.Mr. BRI-
ERLET was instructed tp apply to the Court to direct
that a certain witness who had been subpoenaed in
the recent gaming-house prosecution in that court,
but who upon being called did not answer, should
•be ordered either to be fined or indicted for
contempt. It would be in the recollection of
the Court that at a late sessions a person was
indicted by a gentleman of the name of Bond for
keeping a gaming-house' and that upon the trial a
witness, on being called, did not make his appearance.
Another trial against another defendant was about
to come on, and the prosecutor having subpostmed
the same witness had 'since heard that the man did
not intend to come to the court ; and, moreover, that
a person of the name of (as we understood) Moses
Hart, or Moses Jacobs, had been going about to the
different witnesses, advising them not to attend to the
subpoena. His application now, therefore, was, that
the Court would direct that the particular witness in
question should be fined or indicted for the contempt.
The Learned JUDGE said that if the party were
subpoenaed and he did not appear when called at the
trial, the consequence would be that he would have
to abide the penalty. That would be ample time to
deal with the case.
Mr. BRIERLET remarked that the prosecutor had
no power to compel the man's attendance.
The Learned JUDGE said that an application ought
to have been made to the Court on the subject of the
contempt when the former trial was on. The quarter
sessions at which it was now said a contempt had
been shown to the Court, was defunct ; and it was
impossible to originate and try at another quarter
sessions any act of contempt which at the latter
period it was urged had been committed at a pre-
vious quarter sessions. Thus the Court could not
now direct that the witness should be indicted ; the
Court had no power to do so. The Learned Counsel
could indict the party if he thought proper, but that
Court could not order such a proceeding.
Mr. Bauman- submitted that the contempt had
been shown to the Court, and not to himself as counsel
for the prosecution, and again submitted that his
Lordship ought to direct an indictment.
The Learned JUDGE—Certainly not. The con-
tempt was to the last quarter sessions, and as there
was no continuity between one quarter sessions and
the quarter sessions which follows, it was quite clear
that so far as the Court itself was concerned, it could
not without a case had been adjourned over in the
usual form, take notice of it at a new and fresh quar-
ter sessions. The Court of the preceding quarter
sessions was defunct.
Mr. BRIERLET still contended that the Court
should take notice of a contempt which had clearly
been shown towards it.
The Learned JUDGE said, if the Learned Counsel
chose to take out letters of administration of the
estate of the late quarter sessions—although the judge
of the Court were yet living in himself—and act upon
that administration, of course he could not help it ;
but with respect to the quarter sessions at which it
was urged the contempt in question had been offered,
that Court was without doubt defunct.—(Laughter.)
The'prosecutor, it he thought proper, could indict the
witness, but the Court could not direct such a pro-
ceeding.
The matter here dropped.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS.—George Herbert, aged 16,
and Thomas Wallace, aged 16, were convicted of hav-
ing stolen a quantity of bacon, the property of one
Thomas Wright.
The Learned JUDGE said, he would just advert to
the history of these boys. First, there was the boy
Herbert. This was the description which had been
furnished to him by the active officer (Lockyer) of
the 'Westminster House of Correction :—" George
Herbert, aged 16, was tried at the Middlesex Sessions
on the 18th of August, 1846, in the name of
William Kelly, and sentenced to seven years'
transportation, which sentence was ultimately
commuted to two .years' imprisonment, with
the view of his being sent to Parkhurst.
This was one of those cases in which the Prison In-
spectors had chosen to interfere in total ignorance of
the character of the boy, whilst in that court they
had received every information about him, and had
sentenced him accordingly. By direction of the In-
spectors of Prisons, it would seem the boy, instead of
being sent out of the country, had been removedto
the Millbank Prison on the 3d of November, 1846,
from which place he was discharged on the 2d of
August last." This was a portion of the boy's career,
but he was informed by the officers that he had lung,
although so young, been a notorious thief, and con-
nected with the worst' gang of thieves in the neigh-
bourhood of Drury-lane. Indeed he had been one of
what were termed the," swell mob" pickpockets, and
had been most daring in, his vocation for a consider-
able time. Moreover, he was told that he was one of
the worst conducted boys who had ever been sent to
the prison. If the Inspectors of Prisons would inter-
fere in these cases he could not help it, but here was
one of the consequences. The boy had previously
been convicted three or four times, and then that
Court had sentenced him to transportation for the
purpose of his 'being sent to Parkhurst, with the
hope of his reclamation. The recommendation of
the Court had obtained the customary commutation
of the sentence to two years' imprisonment, but con-
trary to the former course of proceeding in such cases,
the boy, instead of being sent to Parkhurst to be
taught some trade or handicraft, was transferred to
the Milbank Prison, from which he was released only
as recently as the 2d of last month, and here he was
again at their bar in little more than another month.
It was impossible that such an incorrigible and ac •
complished thief could be allowed to remain in the
country, and be did hope, notwithstanding he was so
short (the boy is not taller, although 16, than one of
10 or 11 years of age), he would be sent away. In
the present case the evidence was very clear against
that boy, whilst Wallace, who was in his company,
had been repeatedly convicted, and was only just come
out of prison after a six months' sentence. The sen-
tence of the Court now was, that each of the priso-
ners should be transported for seven years. As to
making any recommendation in the case, he should
not forward any more recommendations, seeing that
the object with which that proceeding had been
adopted had been frustrated by the interference of
the Inspectors of Prisons. It would, therefore, be
altogether useless.

The prisoners appeared to receive their sentence of
;ransportation as though such a sentence was quite
n the regular and looked-for couriel of things.

ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—The council of admi-
nistration of this institution have unanimously pre-
sented to Mr. Eames, the secretary, an elegant silver
salver, upon which the following inscription is en-
graved :—" Presented, on his marriage, to A. I. S.
Eames, Esq., secretary of the Royal Naval School, by
the council of administration, in testimony of their ap-
probation of his able and indefatigable exertions for the
welfare of that institution, during a period of seventeen
years."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION-HOUSE.
Cornelius Von Rigendam, a young Dutchman, was
brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having
stolen Holland bank rotes and securities for money
to the amount of between 1,5001. and 1,6001. A re-
ward of 501. had been offered for the apprehension of
the prisoner, who, it was conjectured, had imme-
diately after he got possession of the property set off
for London in order to get it exchanged. Amongst
the stolen property were two Russian bonds, each of
which was for 1,000 florins, and payable on the Ist
of September.
Mr. E. Clarke, clerk to Messrs. Bult and Co. of
Cheapside, bullion dealers, said, " This morning the
prisoner called at our counting-house and tendered for
sale four Dutch bank notes for 100 florins each. In
consequence of information which I had received re-
lative to the description of the person who presented
the notes, I had reason to believe that they hail been
stolen, and I sent for an officer and gave him into
custody."
Mr. C. Hodgson (superintendent of the City police)
said, " I received information respecting the pri-
soner, in consequence of which I have taken steps
for his apprehension, and I have now an officer in
pursuit of him. The name of the owner of the notes
which the prisoner tendered for sale is Julius Rind-
skopf, who I expect will be in town on Friday next."
The LORD M (TOR—Do you believe, if I remand
the prisoner until Friday, that you will be able to
procure evidence as to his identity ? Mr. Hodgson--
I do.

The prisoner, who does not appear to be more than
18 years of age, and could not speak a . word of
English, was informed, through the medium of an
interpreter, of the nature of the charge against him,
but did not utter a word.
It was stated that the prisoner was a messenger in
the house of Mr. Rindskopf, and had been sent on
Monday, the 4th inst., with the coupons to get them
cashed, but never returned. When he found, at Mr.
Bult's house, that it was all up with him, he dropped
a pocket-book in which were written down the
numbers and particulars of the notes which he had
stolen. An officer was dispatched to examine his
trunk at his hotel, and it is expected that almost the
whole of the property will be recovered. Ile was re-
manded till Friday.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. _Edward Allgood Dickinson, of 27, Denmark-
row, Coldharbour-lane, Camberwell, was charged be-
fore Alderman Challis with obtaining a bill of
exchange for 3001. under false and fraudulent pre-
tences, on the Bth of August last.
From the evidence of Benjamin Wheatley Tracy,
a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, residing at 225,
Maida-hill, Edgware-road, and Henry Lowless, of
Hart's-lane, Bethnal-green, formerly a solicitor, but
now a commission agent, it appeared that in August
last the former gave the latter a bill of exchange for
1300/. to get cashed for, him, at the same time placing
in his hands 100 shares in the Callington
Company, in Cornwall, as a collateral security. This
bill Lowless entrusted to the prisoner, having known
him for some time, and he also gave him the
shares. A few days after Dickinson came to
Lowless, and said he could not get the bill cashed
in consequence of the party whom he expected
would do it having referred to the Mining Journal
and found the shares only quoted at 141, but that if
they went up only one per cent. he had no doubt he
could find some one to advance the money. In con-
sequence of this representation he allowed him to
keep the bill and shares for the purpose of making
another trial. The prisoner again came and repre-
sented that he could not effect his object, but he could
get it discounted if the prosecutor had no objection
to taking 1001. worth of wine and the rest in gold.
This proposition was also assented to, but it had never
been carried out. In a few days more Mr. Tracy
received a letter from the secretary of the Mutual
Communication Society, the contents of which in-
duced him at once to stop payment and demand that
the prisoner should restore the bill. Dickinson said,
that it was not in his possession, but in the hands of a
man named Clark, who would give it up on being
paid his commission. This Lieutenant Tracy agreed
to do, upon 'condition that the prisoner wrote a note
to Clark desiring him to give it up, which he did ;
but Clark would not give it up, and prosecutor find-
ing he was about to be duped gave Dickinson into
custody.
Alderman CHALLIS asked what was the date of the
bill, and by whom drawn and accepted ?
Mr. Lowless replied, that it was dated the 3d of
August for three months, was drawn by Messrs.
Smith, Row, and Co., accepted by Lieutenant Tracy,
and made payable at the London and Westminster
Bank, as per advice from the North and South Wales
Banking Company. It was not endorsed.
Alderman CUALLIS asked the prisoner what he had
to say in his defence ?

He merely said, that if he had time he would be
enabled to communicate with Clark, and the bill
would be returned as well as the shares.
Alderman CHALLIS decided on remanding him
until Friday.
The secretary to the City of London Trades' Pro-
tection Society, who attended to watch the case, in-
formed the Alderman that he had been given to un-
derstand that Dickinson was not the real name of the
prisoner.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A stout elderly German of respectable appearance,
who has passed by the names of Rosenberg, Parre,
and Sandars respectively, was brought up before Mr.
Arnold, charged with obtaining various sums of
money from lodginghouse-keepers
false and fraudulent pretences.
The first case, which also involved a charge of
felony against the prisoner, was preferred by Mrs.
Emily Sutton, the wife of a wine merchant on Rich-
mond-terrace, Queen's-road, Dalston, who stated,
that on the 6th of May last the prisoner engaged
furnished apartments in her house at 30s. per week,
representing that he had just arrived from Bordeaux,
and had a large stock of silk and other foreign mer•
chandise which he Intended to dispose of in this coun-
try. He was supplied with board and every requisite
until the 10th or 11th of that month, when he told
her that a large consignment of rich velvets, laces,
&c., to the amount of between 4,0001. and 5,0001., had
just been made to him, and, as they were then under the
lock of the Customs, he should be obliged to her for the
loan of 61.105. to make up about 1801., which the charges
for duty would amount to. His being particular about
the odd 10i. so disarmed her suspicion that she let
him have the money without hesitation, and he left
the house, promising to be back to dinner, but he
never returned; and on examining her writing-desk,
which from the prisoner's apparent respectability she
left in the sitting-room he occupied, she discovered
that a small gold watch of trifling intrinsic value,
but highly prised by ber as a gift from her mother,
together with a pocket-book, had been stolen. She
had since made inquiries at the Custom-house and
other places he had indicated, but could gain no in-
formation about him, and had ascertained that the
whole of his statement as to the extensive amount of
property consigned to him from France and Germany
was a fabrication.
The prisoner was given into custody upon the
second charge by the Rev. John Roberts, brother of
Mrs. Jane Richards, a lady residing in King-street,
Finsbury, at whose house the prisoner presented him-
self on the very day he absconded from that of the
last witness, and to whom, upon her asking him for
references as to respectability, he pulled out an appa-
rently well -filled purse, and exclaimed, " Reference ?
oh, yes, dis ist de best of reference;" and displayed so
much ease and indifference that she allowed him to take
possession without inquiry. He remained here, too, only
about a week, when he asked her for the temporary
advance of 81. to pay Customs' dues upon French
merchandise, and as security for the amount volun-
tarily handed her two watches, which he stated to be
worth twenty guineas. The watches appeared to be
worth considerably more than that, and she there-
fore let him have the 81., which he engaged to return
in a couple of hours, but did not, and she saw no
more of him until he was given into custody by her
brother, who accidentally met him. In the interval
she directed the watches to be taken to a pawn-
broker's, to ascertain their value, and, having no use
for them, partly reimbursed herself for the loss by
accepting as large a sum as the pawnbroker would
advance upon them.
Messrs. Pickford and Roberts, pawnbrokers in Old-
street, produced the watches in question, pledged for
31. 103.,--the first a common metal one of an almost

_ _ .....
worthless description, and the second a small gold
enamelled Geneva watch with chain, which was im-

mediately identified by the first witness as having
been stolen from her under the circumstances detailed
in her evidence. ,
A third charge was then preferred by a widow
named Jane Gardner, of Wink worth-place, City-
road, of whom the prisoner took lodgings, about
getthe
same time as in the last cases, as an extensive dealer
in French silks and velvets; and after trying to
3/. or 4/. of her upon similar pretences, which the
widow had not got to lend him, at length accepted
11. Bs., and absconded.
