WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1848.

prisoner was traced and apprehened at Bristol, but
none of the property was found.
Britton, a Bristol officer, produced a coat and cap
which were found at the prisoner's lodgings, and they
were identified as those worn by the prisoner on the
day of the robbery.
The prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Sidney, re-
served his defence, and he was fully committed for
trial on this charge.
The prisoner was then charged by Mr. Robert
Cooper Casper, tailor, of St. Mary-axe, with stealing
a suit of clothes. The prisoner ordered the clothes,
which were taken home by the prosecutor, when the
prisoner put them on, and then said he could not pay
until he got some French notes cashed, and he re-
quested prosecutor to accompany him to a bullion-
office in Lonsbard-street. He walked with him as far
as King William-street, City, where he (prisoner)
entered a house and escaped with the clothes, and he
did not afterwards see him until he was in custody at
the bar of this court.
The clothes were now produced and identified by
Mr. Casper.
The prisoner was committed on this charge also.
Other charges of a similar description were pre-
ferred against him, but they failed in legal proof.
The parties, however, were left to indict at the sessions,
if they thought proper.
In the course of the day a gentleman attended, in
relation to the case of the poor work women who were
so shamefully cheated out of a week's Wages for cloak
making, and handed a letter to the magistrate, from
Mr. Bowerbank, the purport of which was to request
that the ;sum of 121., enclosed therein, might be dis-
tributed among the twenty-four young women who
were so unjustly deprived of their earnings, giving
ten shillings to each, being the amount of which they
were defrauded. It was stated at this court that Mr.
Pawson had paid Si. off the account, and that he at-
tended to the wants of the poor women on their case
being made known to him.
