LAMBETH.

William Griffin, alias Charles Watson, alias Henry
Edward Barker, was finally examined before Mr.
Elliott, on various charges of obtaining goods by false
pretences.

- Front the evidence adduced during the hearing of the
case, it appeared that in some instances the prisoner
obtained goods by recommendations in his own hand-
writing, and in of hers by a reference to a Mr. John
Turner, of 40, Bromley-street, Commercial-road East.
This person, who represented himself to one or two of
the prosecutors as surveyor of the district, had his studio
so arranged with a number of maps and drawings on the
table and floor, as to throw the persons applying to
him completely off their guard; and as for his re-
commendations of the prisoner, they were of the
must flattering description, and generally terminated in
congratulatingthe parties en finding so excellent a customer
as Mr. Barker, Mr. Watson, or whatever the same might
be. On one occasion the inquirer, not satisfied with the
representations of Turner, requested a reference us to
his (Turner's) own respectability, when ho unhesitat-
ingly referred to the firm of Messrs. Downing and 'Wal-
ton, Tokenhouse-yard. An application was made to
these parties, and the character they gave of Turner was
as unexceptionable as that given by him to the prisoner;
but as soon as the latter was apprehended, the Messrs.
Downing and Walton and Mr. John Turner were sound
missing.
Two clear cases of fraud were selected from the others,
and on those the prisoner was fully committed for trial.
The Magistrates have received half a sovereign for
the unfortunate Miss Ducrow, and also a sovereign from
a lady, for the same purpose, which the latter requested
might be acknowledged as from the " Truth."
