Cross-examined—Witness never told the captain that
Rambert wanted the men to go aft and take his life. What
he told him was, that Rambert wanted the men to go aft
and make the captain fast.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
' After some consultation, It was arranged that Mr. Jervis
should address the Jury in the morning, on the opening of the
Court.

One of the °Meet"; of the Court was then sworn to take

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday two persorr, named John Morley and Sarah
Thomas,were brought before the Lord Mayor, one charged
with having in a great variety of instances t,btained
goods from warehousemen under false representations,
and the other with having received and pawned the
goods. Each of the prisoners was said to be but nine-
teen years of age.
Me. Waller, from the firm of Ashurst and Son, solici-
tors, attended for the prosecution.
Richard Goodwin, a person in the employment of
Dollfus, Meig, and Co., of No. 1, Friday-street, ware-
housemen, stated that the male prisoner called at the
warehouse on Friday, at one o'clock, and said he came
from Messrs. Badham and Gaunt, of Walworth, and
wanted for them some pieces of goods upon approbation.
Witness requested him to look in again, and it would be
ascertained whether the articles he wished for could be
supplied, and he accordingly called in about twenty
minutes, and selected three pieces of cashmere. The
firm in whose name the young man applied was known
to the prosecutors, but Morley was not known, and the
warehouseman who exhibited the goods was taken off
his guard by the statement of the latter, that he had
just been getting goods at Morrison's. The witness
gave him the parcel of cashmere and the invoice pro-
duced, and as some suspicion was entertained of him.
followed him through several streets as far as a court in
Gray's Inn-lane, where he disappeared.
On his cross-examination witness said he had never
seen Morley before that occasion, and he knew nothing
of the female prisoner.
Mr. James Gaunt, of the firm of Badham and Gaunt,
of' Walworth, stated that Morley had lived iu the house
about three years, as an apprentice, and about three
weeks ago absented himself. Witness understood from
him that he had formed a connexion with a female, but
did not know that the female prisoner was the person.
The policeman who apprehended Morley found in his
pockets several papers, amongst which was the invoice of
the goods procured from the prosecutors.
The policeman who apprehended the woman said be
took her into custody when she called to see Morley at the
Compter. He accompanied her to a house in Bell-court,
Gray's Inn-lane, in which they lodged, and lived toge
ther as man and wife, and found there some articles of
dress, which were identified as part of the goods which
had been procured in the manner above stated, by
Morley. She stated to him that Morley had sent word
to her to destroy all the dresses and the duplicates.
The landlady of the house in which the prisoner re-
sided said the female prisoner rented and took the lodg-
ing for herself and her husband, as she called Morley,
on Monday week. Both prisoners had been frequently
seen returning home with parcels.
The prisoners were remanded, as several other cases
are to be investigated.
A lad, named John Jansen, was charged with having
embezzled several sums of money, the property of his
employer, Mr. Waller, newsveudor, of Staining-lane.
Mr. Waller had been seriously injured by the vile
conduct of the prisoner, who appropriated to his own
purposes the money given to him for the purchase of
newspapers for the customers of the house, as well as
received sums for which he never accounted, Mr. Wal-
ler declared that he could not guess to what an extent
he was likely to suffer by such flagrant wrong, but an
appeal made to his parental feelings by Mr. Duncornbe,
the prisoner's solicitor, completely overpowered the poor
man, and he abandoned the prosecution.
The prisoner, who wept bitterly, was of course dis
charged.

A-sailor, named William Harper, was fined 1001. for
having in his cabin twenty-two pounds weight of tobacco,
on which the duty had not been paid.
RAILWAYS.—The Lord Mayor regretted to say that
he had received a communication relative to the deplor-
able condition of a number of poor men, who whatever
accusation might be made against some persons who
meddled with railway speculations, certainly ought not
to be sufferers. He meant the surveyors of the projected
lines of railroads over the country. His communicant
mentioned that the contest between the condition of
many of the surveyors while the mania was raging, and
their present state was really horrible, for ho knew
many who after the cruelly laborious work they had
undergone, and the difficulties of every kind they had
to encounter, could not prevail upon the engineer by
whom they were employed, to nay them a farthing of
what they had through much desperate hardship earned,
and they were glad to get refuge in miserable
rooms, and to obtain the comfort of a cup of
coffee. An appeal had been made to the Chief
Magistrate on the subject, and he was requested
to devise some means by which the poor sufferers could
be assisted in their efforts to obtain restitution. But
what could the Lord Mayor do? It would appear that
railroad difficulties were only just commencing, and that
the responsibilities of some persons were likely to be
ruinous to their credit, and carry with them a long train
of calamities in which multitudes would participate.
A gentleman, who stated that he was aware of the
existence of a great deal of distress amongst humble
tradespeople, in consequence of the speculations in rail-
roads made by their customers, declared, that in some
places people were afraid to give credit to the amount of
a few shillings.
The LORD MAYOR said, that in the cases to which he
alluded, he could only refer the applicants to the active
offices of a solicitor, or to the society established for
pretecting pat ties having valid claims. He took the
opportunity of stating that he, with great pain, had
seen a paragraph, which had been copied from some
Sunday newspaper into the daily press, representing
that several members of the Court of Aldermen had
found it necessary to leave the country, in consequence
of certain liabilities arising from railway adventures.
He did not believe that ill-natured report. He was
constantly in the habit of seeing nis brethren in the
pc rformance of their duties, and there certainly were
not absent from town more than usually absented them-
selves at this time of the year.
CLERKEN WELL.

John James, an advertisement canvasser, was brought
up for final examination, on a charge of endeavouring to
obtain money from several booksellers, publishers, and
other tradesmen, by representing himself as the agent of
publishers.
The case was partly entered into on Saturday, when
the prisoner was remanded until yesterday for further
inv,stigation.
Mr. Jones, from the office of Mr. Bennett, solicitor,
attended for the prisoner.
Mr. Scott, bookseller and publisher in Charter-house-
square, gave the prisoner into custody for representing
himself as the agent of Messrs. Jackson and Co., pub-
lishers, St. Paul's Churchyard, and attempting to obtain
the amount of a bill for advertisements of Mr. Scott's
inserted in the British Quarterly Review, published by
Nfessrs. Jackson. Mr. Scott had previously paid the
bill, and the prisoner, when about to be apprehended,
begged for mercy, saying he would rather be killed
than charged with such an offence. Mr. Scott
added that the prisoner had, in the month of October,
attempted to obtain the amount of a bill for advertise.
ments of his inserted in the Edinburgh Review, by r: pre-
senting himself us the collector of Messrs. Longman,
Paternoster-row, publishers of that periodical.
Mr. Jackson, of the firm of Jackson and Co., of St.
Paul's Churchyard, and publishers of the British Quar-
terly, deposed that he never in any way authorised the
prisoner to collect money for the firm ; had seen the
prisoner somewhere, but he Could not say when or where.
Mr. Francis Sykes, clerk to Messrs. Longman, Pater-
noster-row, swore the prisoner was in no way authorised
to collect advertisements for that house. He had seen
the prisoner in the establishment soliciting a situation,
and subsequently as a canvasser for advertisements.
Police-constable 13, G said, a great number of trades-
men, booksellers, and others, who had been cheated out
of money in the same manner, and by the same descrip-
tion of person, as in the case of Mr. Scott, had pro-
mised to attend, but they were not in court. Amongst
hese was Mr. Paynter, of the Strand, Mr. Ede, of the
firm of Adams and E'le, robemakers, Chancery-lane;
Messrs. Hatchard, of Piccadilly, had likewise been de-
frauded in this way.
Mr. Thomas Bowen, clerk to Messrs. Hatchard, said
that be did not think the prisoner was the person who
had defrauded them. Had seen the prisoner before. He
represented himself as an advertisement collector, and
believed he then filled such a post on the Church Intelli-
gencer newspaper.
Joseph Langford, clerk to Messrs. Blackwood, pub-
lishers, Paternoster row, deposed to having seen the pri-
soner'before, but could not say where. Witness handed

frauded to a very large extent in the same manner as
Mr. Scott had narrated. He knew several of those par-
ties, and was surprised they had not attended. One
gentleman had identified the prisoner as having received
money from him. He went into the clerk's office; and he
could not say what became of him.
An ironmonger, inWigmore-street, Cavendish-square,
whose name we could not catch, identified the prisoner
as having attempted to obtain the amount of a bill from
him for advertisements inserted in Fraser's Magazine,
representing himself as the publisher's agent.
Mr. J. Fraser said, the Gardener's Chronicle had been
defrauded, and he believed a person from that office
could identify the prisoner.
Another gentleman said, the publishers of the West-
mihster Review had been falsely personated in numerous
instances, and money obtained for advertisements in-
serted in that publication.
Several gentlemen present, connected with the trade,
expressed a wish that the Magistrate would remand the
