it. He also thought he recollected the prisoner's face,
and also that he had succeeded in obtaiuing a guinea,
from him the previous year by a similar story. The pri-
soner then pulled out a paper, and begged he would look
over it. The paper was as follows:
" Mr. Henry Anderson hus been examined before the
Committee of the National Schools, and is found com-
petent to be admitted as a master.
(Signed) " W. J. KENNEDY, M.A.
" Mr. Henry Anderson is a person highly respectable,
and having been reduced from a sphere of, comfort to pe-
cuniary difficulties, I earnestly recommend him toe few
friends.
(Signed) " W. ROBINSON."

Various- subscriptions, from 10s. to 21. 25., were ap-
pended to this paper. Hs' asked the prisoner whose
name was on the paper? The prisoner mentioned the
name of Andrews. He told the prisoner that as he did
not even know the name on the paper, which was An-
derson and not Andrews, he should refer him to a con-
stable named Horsford, who was waiting below, with
whom he probably had an acquaintance.
The defence of the prisoner was that he did not ask
Sir Henry Meux for his subscription. He merely said
that he understood Sir Henry Meux was a subscriber to
the National Schools, and he then requested him to
look at a paper which a person, who was then waiting
outside, had requested him to show to Sir Henry Meux.
Horsford said the prisoner had been convicted before
for obtaining money under false pretences. On the pri-
soner was a paper, with the names of noblemen and
ladies, from whom the prisoner had, no doubt, obtained
money. He wished, therefore, that the prisoner should
be remanded until the authenticity of the signatures could
be inquired into.
Henry Baker was next put to the bar.
Horsford said while he was waiting at Sir Henry
Meux's, he was told that another person had just sent
in a note, sad had obtained an interview with Sir Henry
Meux. Suspecting that this might be another of the
gang, he gave a message to the valet to deliver pri-
vately to Sir Henry Meux. The prisoner, however, most
probably suspected something, and terminated the in-
terview abruptly. As he was goimg out witness came
forward and recognised him as Dublin Harry, one of the
most incorrigible begging-petition impostors in London.
The prisoner's business with Sir Illenry Meux might be
inferred from the following note v.vhich he sent in to Sir

Henry:—
" Mr. Jennings, of Bishop's Sto rtford, begs the favour
of a few minutes' interview with l3ir Henry Meux on a
little business of a pressing and important nature."

Horsford added, that as the prhZner had been put on
his guard, he could not bring any e vidence beyond what
he had produced.

Mr. BINGItAM said the evidence was not complete, and
therefore he must discharge the p rigour.
The prisoner declared he would bring an action against
the constable for false imprisonnitnat.
Horsford said the prisoner had 1 seen convicted over and
over again for obtaining money by false pretences.
William Johnson was next plac ed at the bar.
Sir Henry Meux said the prism ler called on him last
week with a petition very full of miseries, and seeing
several signatures attached to it so admirably executed
for subscriptions, he believed the case was one of real
distress, and he therefore ordered_ 'his cashier to pay him

101. Witness afterwards had some conversation with
parties whose names were affixed to the petition, and be
then ascertained he had been imposed upon.
Horaford said as soon as he he and the prisoner's de-
scription he knew.who he was, wad where to find him.
He went to Westminster and foul id the prisoner. When
he took the prisoner into custody he said to him, " 1
wonder what you men do with :01 the money you get.
you had 171. among you last week from Sir Henry Meux
only." Ths prisoner said he had just come out of pri-
son, and had a few debts to pay.
Horiford said he found a paper on Smith with the
names of Lady Rolle, Lady Webster, Lady Munro,
Sir J. Kempt, Lord Ward, Lady Louisa Cator, Lad)
Ellerton, Lord Eglinton, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Rice,
on it. He had no doubt that when the case was pub
lisheel he should get plenty of farther evidence, if the
prisoners were remanded.
They were remanded till Saturday next.
WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday, John Hawkins, Thomas Hugginson, and
Denis Wilson, threo young men, were finally examined,
charged with burglariously entering the dwelling•house
of Mr. W. Wollop, 23, Rutland-gate, and stealing
a large quantity of jewellery and some money.
The particulars of the case have already appeared ;
the accused, having effected an entrance, were disturbed

in the course of their operations by the presence of mind
of a young lady in the house, who, although they had
locked her in her bed-room, contrived to raise an alarm,
and to procure the attendance of the police.
The MAGISTRATE considered the evidence adduced
sufficient to implicate all the prisoners, and committed
them for trial.
