GUILDHALL.

IVilliam Edwards was finally examined, charged with
knowingly getting a bill for 251., bearing a forged in-
dorsement, discounted at Mr. Tucker's, in Nicholas-
lane.

Mr. Alderman GIBBS, believing from the complexion
of the whole of the evidence that the prisoner uttered the
bill knowing Underwood had indorsed the forged name
on it, committed him for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.
_

Yesterday a young woman nanTeddeorgiana Hall,
stated to be of very respectable connexions, was charged
with having stolen 481. 10s. in gold and silver, and other
property, from the house of her late master, Mr. James
Orgar, in Ward's-row, Bethnal-green-road.
The prosecutor stated, that in consequence of the
death of his wife he engaged the prisoner to superintend
the management of his household affairs about two
months since, and that she remained in his service
until the evening of the 18th inst., when some
words arose between them, in which she expressed
dissatisfaction with her situation, and sh,irtly
afterwards absconded. On the following morning, hav-
ing occasion to go to a trunk in his bedroom, he was
surprised to find that the lock had been wrenched off,
and that the whole of the money in it, together with six
silver spoons, some articles of jewellery, and three
shawls belonging to his late wife, had been stolen. The
prisoner had produced the most satisfactory testimonials
as to her respectability and integrity at the time of her
engagement, but, to his extreme surprise, he had since
received authentic information (the prosecutor here
handed a letter up to the beneh),that she Lad been known
for years as a notorious thief in the city of Bath, and
that she had been there convicted upon no less than five
distinct occasions.

Inspector Tipper, of the Bath constabulary, stated,
that upon receiving the particulars of the robbery, and
learning that the prisoner, with whom he had been pre-
viously well acquainted, had returned to Bath, he traced
her on Saturday last to a low lodging-house in that
place, where he took her into custody. Upon searching
her lodgings he discovered two large boxes, closely
packed with articles of haberdashery, and corresponding
invoices and bills, from which it appeared that the whole
of them had been purchased since the date ot the rob-
bery.
It was hero intimated by Sergeant Teakle, that after
an unsuccessful attempt to destroy herself that morn-
ing at the station-house, the prisoner had declared she
would not live three hours longer; and on her being
removed into the clerks' office for the depositions to be
taken she was therefore closely watched. Some time
after she displayed great anxiety, and it being noticed
that she was fidgetting with both hands beneath her
shawl, the officer seized hold of her and detected hor in
the act of tearing open a vein in her arm with a largo
pin. This was forced from her with some difficulty, and,
as she repeated her determination to renew the attempt
upon her life at the first opportunity that presented itself,
the magistrate gave directions that a strict surveillance
should be kept over her while in prison to defeat hor
intentions.

She was fully committed for trial upon the charge.
CL ERKEN WELL.

George Burton, a respectable-looking young' man
clerk to Messrs, Ranken and Co., solicitors, of 4, South-
square, Gray's Inn, was finally examined, charged with
having embezzled various sums of money the property of
his employers.
The prisoner reserved his defence, and he was fully
committed for trial. The prisoner seemed much affected.
Frederick Hillyer, an elderly man with gray hairs, also
