London, England, 1856-12-12 00:00:00

signed by any member of our firm, ncr was any set of
bids iFsued nt which this is one.

Mr. Lewis contended, upon the part of the prisoner,
that his client was clearly entitled to imme,iiate
libara-
t;on, as no evidence whatever had been given against
bun as to the commission of any offence within the juria-
diction of the Lord Mayor, and cited a leading ca,e in
favour of that view of the question by the Court of
Appeal.
Mr. Ribtou said, he understood that he should be in
a position to enter into another charge against the pri-
soner which would be clearly within the district of the
city of London. _ _

The Lord Mayor said, he knew perfectly well that he
had no jurisdiction over an offence which had been com-
mitted at the Cape of Good Hope, but as it had been
stated in evidence that the bill was drawn in a set of
three, and that the prisoner had uttered one of the bills
at the Cape, and at the time of such uttering had him-
self stated that he had endorsed one of the set in London
and had sent it to China, it was but reasonable that the
prosecutor should have the opportunity of making fur-
ther enquiries, and might find that the bill 81 endorsed
in London was capable of being produced.
The prisoner was then remanded. _ _

The Lord Mayor requested that the press would an-
nounce that the half-note of 46,497 was received and
acknowledged by him, and that the donor would oblige
by stßting to what fund it was to be applied. His lord-
ship also announced that he had received 12. is. from
" J. G. Parthenon," per Sir Richard Mayne.

GUILDHALL.—Mary Anne Murplq, a respectably.
dressed woman, about 30 years of age, residing at 4

Elliot's-square, Old Bailey, was charged with obtaining
goods and various sums of money by fraudulently repre-
senting that she was the niece of the Bishop of Cloyne

and Ross, county of Cork, Ireland.
Mr. Buchanan appeared on behalf of the prisoner.
A clerk from Mr. Hyatt's office said he appeared to

prosecute on behalf of John Trant, of Elliot's-square, and
Benjamin Gardner, of Clerkenwell-green, but in the
course of investigation other charges would be preferred
by persons who had been imposed upon by the prisoner's

representations.
Prisoner—l am the niece of the Bishop of Cloyne and
Ross.

John Trant—l first became acquainted with the pri-
soner about 14 weeks agn, when she came to lodge at
my house, No. 4, Elliot's-square, Old Bailey. When
she came she said she had been to consult Mr. Lewis, of

Ely-place, and was very tired. My wife allowed her to
lie down and rest. When she arose, about two hours
after, ehe said she was entitled to a large sum of money,
and that she expected Mr. Lewis would get it for her in
a few days. She said she came from the county of Lime-
rick, and was the niece of the Bishop of Cloyne and
Boss. She said ber father's property was 3,0001.
Prisoner-2,0001., not 3,0001.
Witness—She said it was 3,000/., and there was
more property in the London Docks, consisting of beds
and bedding, to the amount of 3001. She said Mr.
Lewis had her business in hand. I made no inquiry to
ascertain the accuracy of her tale, but trusted to her own
word, and my wife let ber have ss. Upon the faith of
her representations I allowed her to lodge in my house,
and supplied her with food and money to the extent of
my means.

Sir J. Musgrove—How did you supply her with food ?
Witness—The same that I had myself—breakfast,
dinner, and tea.
Sir J. Musgrove—Tben she boarded and lodged with
you. Has she ever paid you anything ?
Witness—No, sir.
Prisoner—Why I paid you 10s.
Sir J. Musgrove—ls that true ?
Witness—Yes, sir ; but I lent her much more than
that.

Sir J. Musgrove—Then, why did you say that sbe
had paid you nothing ?
Witness-201. would not cover my loss.
Sir J. Musgrove—But this appears only a debt. Did
you ever write to the Bishop to make any inquiry ?
Witness—No, sir.
Sir J. Musgrove—Then you do not know that she
has not the claim to 3,0001. ?
Witness—l went to Doctors'-commons.
Prisoner—Yes, he went with me to take out letters of
administration, and here is the proctors' bid of costs.
Sir J. Musgrove—The charges here amount to upwards
of 9111. _ . . .

Mr. Martin (chief clerk.)—Then the property sworn
to must amount to about 3,0001. according to those
charges.
Sir J. Musgrove—You may depend upon it you will
get your money.
Mr. Martin—What did she promise you when she
came into her property ?
Witness—She said she would give me 20/, and pay
me what she owed me.
Sir J. Musgrove—There is no case made out at pre-
sent, so you may stand down.
Bmijainin Gardner, described as a manufacturer of
pork pies at Clerkenwell-green, said—l am the greatest
victim in this matter, and my loss amounts to about
1001. She came to me and took my apartments at 14s.
per week, and represented herself as the niece of the
Bishop of Cork.
Prisoner—That is not true. I said the Bishop of
Clovne and Ross.
Witness—She said the Bishop of Cork. While she was
with me she lived upon the daintiest fare, consisting
chiefly of poultry, wine, &c., because she said she was
afraid of being poisoned, and was therefore very parti-
cular in her food. She told me that Mr. Lewis had her
affairs in hand, and, on going to that gentleman's office,
I was informed by the clerk that her property was con-
siderable, there being 7001. worth of plate and other
property in the docks, besides 2,5001. in landed property.
I also went to the proctors in Doctors'-commons, who
had taken.out letters of administration, and found they
had been deceived by the prisoner's statement. When
she came to me she was dressed very fashiorably, and I
have since found that the clothes were borrowed from a
publican's wife for the occasion. She also told me that
she was niece to Mr. Murphy, one of the Commissioners
in Bankrupty, and, believing her story to be true, I was
induced to advance various sums of money to her, and I
even tried to raise about 901. for her to pay the proc-
tor' charges. She has introduced persons to my house '
to corroborate her story, and in one instance she
brought a girl who, I have since learnt, was instructed
by the prisoner to say that she came from a farm ad-
pining the property is Ireland, and to treat her with
great deference in order to keep up the appearance of
her superior position. I have been very much duped.
Prisoner—No such thing. The fact is you wanted to
marry me to got my money.
Mr. Buchanan—Are you a single man?
Witness—No, sir. On my oath I am not. She has
been victimising persons in the establishment of the
Duke of aivonshire, and the parties will exile up if she
is remanded.
Mr. Buchanan—l think, Sir John, this bill of costs is
an answer in itself to this case, as there is one item of
751. fur stamp (ILO, which the proctors, Messrs. Brick-
wood and Brooks, have paid out of their own pockets,
and such respectable proctors would not act for the pri-
soner in this way unless there was some foundation for
the prisoner's cairn.
Sir John Musgrove—lt appears to me that in this
case, as !_n the last, the money has been advanced upon
the expectation of gettins: well paid hereafter ; but, at
the same time, if the prisoner Las been
whether for her own gain or as the result of insanity, I
think it advisable to carry this inquiry further, so that
the public may be cautioned and the prisoner restrained
to
from such depredations. It is too importaostanas
sworn
f the Bishop of
be lightly disposed of, and as the
wit:es
that she represented herself as the niece p:aying i ricks,

Cork— -
Prisoner, who appearid much exeiwd throughout,
; it was
roughout,
hero exclaimed, " Not Cork, gr. C-ardner
Cloyne and Iloss."
Sir J. Musgrove—l shall remand her until Friday
(this day) for further inquiry.
Mr. Buchanan—I quite agree with your worship that
it Thep a c
prisoner was then removed.
