CAUTION TO INNICSIITERS.---Ait the puhlic•office,
at Birmingham, on Friday, a respectably attired young
man, who gave his name and address as John Henry
Wilkins, of 22, Horsemonger-lane, London, was brought
before the Magistrates on the charge of stealing a quan-
tity of plate from Dee's Royal Hotel, and from the
White Hart Inn, Digbeth, upwards of 3001. in bank-
notes and cheques—this last being the property of a
Mr. Higgs, a commercial traveller, from Gloucester.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, on
taking up his abode at these hotels, represented himself
to be " a commercial man." At " the Royal " he
seised and made oil with a quantity of silver spoons,
mustard pots, and other articles of plate and plated
goods. A short time after he had ensconced himself at
te White Hart, he happened

CONONIIR'S INQUEST.—On Friday'''. Mr.
Carttar held an inquest at the Green
on the body of Mr. James Fyfe, who committedrasatead'
on the bank of the river Thames, near the practice
range of the Royal Arsenal. It appeared from the
evidence that early on Thursday morning a labouring
T
man, who was passing along the bank of the river at a
spot known as Tripcock rees, discovered the body of
the deceased. By his left hand was a pistol loaded with
powder and two bullets, and in his other hand was another
pistol, which had been recently discharged. The ball
ihad passed through his skull, and must have caused
instantaneous death. The deceased had evidently con-
templated his body falling into the river as soon as be
committed the act. Evidence was adduced to show that
the deceased was the son of a gentleman of independent
