MAGISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS.—Yesterday morning Mr.
William Grove, formerly a county Magistrate, took his seat
on the Bench at this office as presiding Magistrate for the
day. Mr. Grove has been appointed at this office to fill
the place of Mr. Benett, who has recently been appointed
in the place of Mr. Serjeant Sellon, at Hatton-garden Office.
On Wednesday Mr. Benet, who has been a Magistrate up-
wards of twenty years, presided at this office as usual,
but for the lasttime previous to his taking his seat
on the Bench at Hatton-garden, and on his departure in
the evening, be took leave of the clerks, officers, and all
persons connected with this establishment that were pre-
sent. The appointed Magistrates at this office now are
Messrs. Twyford, Broughton, and Grove.

A middle-aged man of very respectable appearance, who
,gave his name Charles Wilkinson, was placed at the bar
before Mr. GROVE, charged under the following circum-
stances :

For some months past some very extensive felonies and
gross impositions have been practised upon licensed victual-
lers, eating-house-keepers, the keepers of tea and coffee-
shops, and various other shopkeepers in and about the me-
tropolis, by a person very fashionably attired, answering the
prisoner's description. It was, it appears, his practice to go
to the public-houses and taverns of the first respectability
with a carpet bag of great bulk in his hand, as if he had
just got from off a coach, and inquire with much indepen-
dence whether he could be accommodated with a bed for a
night or so, and on being answered in the affirmative, he
immediately requested the waiter to show him the way to
his apartment, and to assist him in carrying his luggage.' It
was also a general and an invariable rule with the gentle-
man to abscond as soon as it was daylight in the morning,
and to take with him every portable article, and on the
apartment being entered by some of the servants, a quantity
of cabbage-leaves and other missiles was mostly found left
behind.

A case was proved against him, in which the prisoner
declined making any defence.
Mr. GROVE said he was a most daring thief, and fully
committed him for trial.

L AMBETH- STREET.
CHARGE OF PASSING FORGED SWEDISH NOTES.—Yes-
terday Joseph Storsia, a Swede, but a Russian subject, who
has been in custody for six weeks past on a charge of utter-
ing three notes of ten rixdollars each, purporting to be those
of the Swedish Bank at Stockholm, but which were disco-
vered to be forgeries, was brought before Mr. HA.RDWICK
for final examination.

Mr. Hobler, who attended on behalf of the Swedish and
Russian Consuls, stated that since the apprehension of the
prisoner a communication had been made to the Court at
Stockholm, stating the particulars of the charge, and re-
questing instructions as to how they were to proceed
against the prisoner, but as yet no instructions had been
received. It was known, however, that a gang of fellows
had been taken up there for manufacturing and forging
notes of a similar description to those passed by the pri-
soner, and there was no doubt the prisoner was employed
by them to pass the notes in this country. He (Mr. H.)
had, under the circumstances, to request that the prisoner
might be committed to take his trial for obtaining goods by
false and fraudulent means, and by the time the Old Bailey
Sessions would commence he, no doubt, would have in-
structions as to whether he would proceed for the forgery.
When the prisoner had purchased the goods from Mr. Ul-
lity, a draper in Ratcliffe, for which he gave the notes in
payment, he said he was the mate of a Swedish vessel,
whereas he was but a carpenter.
Mr. HARDWICK observed that in framing a bill of indict-
ment for the lesser offence, it would be necessary to set forth
that the notes were forgeries, and to prove by the best evi-
dence that they were so. To do this a witness from the.
bank at Stockholm should be produced, as in bank prosecu-
tions here the evidence of none, no matter how competent
in their judgments, but persons belonging to the bank itself
was received.

Mr. Hobler replied that in cases of prosecution by the
Bank, there was never the difficulty as in the present case
of producing a Bank inspector. He would, however, pro-
duce the next best witness, namely, an accredited agent of
the Swedish Government, a gentleman through whose hands
a number of notes of the Stockholm Bank passed, and who
was therefore a competent judge whether the notes in ques-
tion were forgeries or not. Besides, there was on the face
of the notes themselves, he thought, sufficient to show, in
the absence of all other proof, that the notes were forgeries,
as they were dated 1829, while by the water mark the paper
on which they were on was not manufactured until 1833.
Mr. HARDWICK said that the date appeared to be a part
of the plate by which the note had been struck off, and
there was a possibility, therefore, of the old plate of 1829
being used in 1833, or 1834. He (Mr. Hardwick) doubted
much whether a Jury would convict on second-best evi-
dence while there was a possibility of getting the first. If
this was done, he would ask why the third, fourth, and
fifth best evidence should not do as well ? One, or, he be-
lieved, two, instances occurred at this Office which strongly
proved the necessity of having the best evidence. They
were charges for uttering base coin, when persons who ap-
peared to be competent judges of the currency, swore that
the pieces offered to be passed by the prisoners were base
metal. On their testimony the parties were remanded,
but on being brought up again, and the coin submitted to
the inspection of the officers of the Mint, who were the
best and most competent judges, they declared it to be per-
fectly genuine.
Mr. Hobler observed that the representatives of the dif-
ferent Governments on whose behalf he appeared were
anxious to protect the interests of the corporate body of the
Bank of Stockholm, and should, therefore, wish for the
prisoner's commitment.
Mr. HARDWICK thought that in the first instance suffi-
cient legal proof should be given that the notes wore forge-
ries, and this not being done, he could not feel justified in
detaining the prisoner any longer. '
The prisoner was then discharged.

QUEEN- SQU ARE.
LADY BARRYNIORE THE SECOND.—The well-known
Ann Murray, whose constant visits to this office, when out
of prison, have rendered her most notorious, and whose ex-
ploits amongst the police have proved her to be as dan-
gerous an opponent as the late Lady Barrymore, whose
successor she most undoubtedly is, was brought up in cus-
tody of several police constables, charged with being drunk
and disorderly at a late hour in the night, in the Almonry.
Previous to her being brought before the Magistrate, she
was searched, as she is generally in the habit of secreting a
stone, or some missile, to salute the Magistrate with after
her case has been heard, but nothing was found. She looked
round for her friend, as she called Kane, the jailor, to whom
she has a most extraordinary antipathy ; but Kane, who is
almost bald from the tresses of beautiful hair that she has
extracted from his pate in the scuffles he has frequently had
with her in locking her up, kept at a most respectful dis-
tance out of sight.

Ann Murray was then placed at the bar before Mr. BUR-
RELL, when it appeared that she was so drunk and violent
in her conduct in the Almonry, that it required six police
constables to carry her to the station-house.
Ann Murray, in reply, said that she had been out with
her landlady, who was a highly respectable woman as any
in Westminster. They had a few drops of gin here and there
on the road, which they paid for like honest women, and
when people paid for what they ordered, she considered
they had a right to drink it. She was not the woman, like
many others, who went from gin-shop to gin-shop cadging
for gin—she scorned such a low action—if she had done

that, why then the pollee might have taken her; bat the,

Mr. BURRELL did not think this ingenious defence Ori
