AN ARTFUL DODGE.

In this city a curious transaction has caused much
talk and some uneasiness. A foreigner, of good ad-
dress, representing himself to be a German Baron, and
rejoicing in the appellation of " Georg Baron of See-
hausen, Lieutenant," has recently been patronising
certain hotels in Bangor, where, from his easy de-
portment, he has insinuated himself into the good
graces of those who were favoured with his company.
To support his proclaimed title, letters bearing the
above address were scattered on the tables in his
apartments, and one in particular exhibited the
official seal of the Prussian Minister, with whom
Baron von Seehausen affected to be on the most inti-
mate terms. At one hotel he stated that he, in con-
junction with Count Stratchwitez, had rented a large
house in one of the most fashionable squares in Lon-
don, which they intended to occupy during the Ex-
hibition. So far, however, not much harm was done,
and no one here had cause to complain of the Baron's
visit. But on his departure from Bangor, Holyhead
was selected as the distinguished foreigner's tempo-
rary locale. He there called upon a well-known
watchmaker, also a German by birth, and appeared
glad to meet with a fellow-countryman who could
converse with him in his own language. The watch-
maker was no less pleased to be thus honoured by his
aristocratic countryman, who gave the same address
as in Bangor, and said that he was possessed of exten-
sive property in the Isle of Man, which place he in-
tended to visit, as well as Liverpool, but not having
sufficient cash upon him until his arrival at his hotel
in Liverpool, he intimated that the loan of 301. would
be a favour. The unsuspecting watchmaker at once
lent him ,the money, and agreed to see him at his
hotel in Liverpool, at the time appointed for payment,
and the Baron thereupon took his leave. The watch-
maker subsequently went to Liverpool, but not meet-
ing with his distinguished patron became rather un-
easy, and forthwith repaired to Bangor to make known
his tale of misery, and in the hope of meeting with
the Baron, who he learnt had been staying here. On
his arrival he was fortunate enough to catch the Baron,
and consequently pressed him for money, but the lat-
ter, with an air of the greatest nonchalance, said he had
just that instant returned from Holyhead, and had"
paid the 301. to the man's wife, and if his word was
doubted he was willing to go over with him. This
tale was not altogether satisfactory, and it was re-
solved that both should go over next morning. The
morning came, but not so the Baron, and, on inquiry,
the watchmaker learnt, to his chagrin, that he had
departed by the midnight mail train, but to what
part was unknown. The unfortunate watchmaker
was forced to return without any prospect of getting
his money, and on reaching his home he found fresh
misfortunes awaiting him, for his wife informed him,
that the Baron had made another call, and that she,
reposing in him the utmost confidence, had lent him
another 301. during her husband's absence ! Tne
Baron had thus succeeded in obtaining from the poor
watchmaker the sum of 601. with which he made his
exit, and nothing has been since heard of him.—

DARING ATTEMPT TO STEAL £4OO.
CAPTURE OF THE BURGLARS.

Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday
night the counting-house attached to the steam mill
of the Messrs. Fysons, merchants and extensive mil-
lers, situate on the north side of Stoke Bridge, Ips-
wich, was entered by burglars by the aid of skeleton
keys. The man whose duty it was to sleep in the
mill had been home to his supper, and returned about
half-past ten o'clock, when, on unlocking the door,
he imagined he heard a noise in the counting-house,
and on going there two men ran out into the street,
mounted a horse and cart which were standing close
by in charge of a third person, and drove off at full
speed towards Colchester.

Policeman Reynolds, who was on duty near the spot,
after an unsuccessful attempt to intercept the runa-
ways, communicated the matter to his superior officer,
who dispatched a message by telegraph to Super-
intendent Kent at Colchester. That officer, on receiv-
ing it about one o'clock in the morning, ascertained
that a party, answering the description of the thieves
had come into the town, returned a horse which one
of them had hired in the morning of Mr. Hamblion,
livery stable-keeper, for the alleged purpose of going
to Bentley, in Suffolk, and had then started with
their own horse on the London rota Superin-
tendent- Kent then took the up-mail train (com-
municating with the police at Witham on his way) ;
and on arriving at Cbelmsford, having obtained the
assistance of police-constables Carter and Mayhew, of
the county constabulary force, they proceeded on the
Springfield-road, and met the cart with three men,
near the White Hart public•house. The party were
immediately captured and taken to the police-station,

and gave their names William Davies, horse-dealer,
Borough ; John Hodgson, John•street, Paddington ;
Henry Griffiths, 43, Geary-street, Rathbone-place.
They are suspected to be professed burglars, and will
doubtless be identified as such by the London police.
The horse is a bay one, about six years old, the
cart is painted dark green, with initials "W. D." on
the back and sides—supposed to be those of the pri-
soner Davis—and the harness is also marked with the
letter " D." They have been left at the stables of the
Bell Hotel, Chelmsford, and will probably materially
assist in tracing out the prisoners' London con-
nexions.

By the first down train yesterday (Thursday)
morning the prisoners were taken by Superintendent
Kent to Ipswich, and having been brought before the
Mayor, P. B. Long, Esq., and evidence given of their
having been seen in the neighbourhood of the mill,
they were remanded for a week to enable ,the officers
to complete the case against them.
On an examination of the connting-house after the
flight of the robbers, it was discovered that an iron
chest, containing bank-notes, gold, and silver, to the
amount of upwards of 4001., had been placed in a sack
ready for removal ; and a crowbar and bunch of
skeleton keys were also left behind by the burglars.
A short time before the men were seen to leave the
counting-house, three strangers were observed taking
refreshment at the White Lion public•house, which is
situate about forty yards from the steam mill. The
sack was marked in red paint with the name of " Geo.
Wardley."—Essex Standard.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
JUDGES CHAMBERS, April 25.
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
THE LATE MELANCHOLY CASE OF snoonNa.
In consequence of the coroner's jury having returned
a verdict of manslaughter against the Rev. Joseph Smith,
the perpetual curate of Walton, Cumberland, for shoot-
ing Mr. William Armstrong, on the night of Wednes-
day, the 16th instant, the particulars of which appeared
in this journal yesterday, Mr. G. Adams, of the firm of
Plucknett and Adams, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, applied to
the Learned Judge for a writ of certiorari, directed to
William Carrick, Esq., one of the coroners for Cumber-
land, requiring him to return the depositions taken at
the inquisition held before him on the body of William
Armstrong, and the verdict of the jury thereon, and to
admit Mr. Smith to bail. In support of the application
Mr. Adams produced certificates from the coroner and
Dr. Graham to prove that the Rev. Mr. Smith was in
such a state of mind that it would be very dangerous to
remove him from his abode, and that he was quite in-
capable of fixed and rational attention to any subject re-
quiring thought.
The JUDGE then ordered the writ to issue, and a copy
of the summons to be served upon the next of kin of Mr.
William Armstrong.
To-day Mr. ADAMS applied to Mr. Justice Coleridge
to fix the amount of bail. Ile stated that the solicitor
for the next of kin (Mr. John Bell, of Newcastle) had
consented that bail should be taken. He was not, how-
ever, enabled to produce the depositions, as they had
not been returned.

The JUDGE—I am unable to afford you any relief,
unless I have the depositions before me.
Mr. ADAMS—There has been a consent given by the
solicitor for the next of kin. Mr. Smith is in a very
dangerous state, and it is very desirable that he should
at once be admitted to bail.

The JUDGE—I have no jurisdiction until the deposi
tions are before me. I cannot make an order.
The parties then retired.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Solomon Hyams and Sarah Hyams, and Philip Lyons,
who were some days ago charged with having been
found in possession of a quantity of silks which were
stolen from the premises of Mr. Attenborough, pawn-
broker of Crown-street, Finsbury, and some other goods
belonging to another person, were brought up for final
ex amination.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution; Mr.
Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Yates, fur the prisoner
Philip Lyons; and Mr. Wontner for the other two pri-
soners. The justice room was crowded during the in-
vestigation.
Mr. Humphreys said, he had determined, with the
approbation of his Lordship, to consent to the discharge
of Philip Lyons and his wife, and to examine them as
witnesses against Solomon Hyams and Sarah Hyams.
His LonosulP having assented to the proposition of
Mr. Humphreys, Philip Lyons was removed from the
bar.

The following is a summary of the additional evidence
in the case:—
Catherine Lyons said—Mrs. Hyams came on the 10th
inst. to our house, and she told me she had had words
with her husband, and she wished to sleep in our place.
I advised her to go home, but she said she never would,
and she went away; but returned shortly afterwards with
what appeared to me to be a bed. She left it there, but
did not come to sleep. Next night Ward, the officer,
came and opened the bundle, the contents of which I
had never seen before, and I saw it contained silks. My
eyes got quite dim at the sight. My husband, who knew
nothing about the bundle at all, was present when the
officer came. I fainted when I was told I was to be
taken to prison.
Philip Lyons—My wife had never said to me that
Mrs. Hyams had left a bed, and I never saw the bundle
until the officer came and said he wanted some stolen
goods, and I observed it pulled from under the bed. I
went then with the officer to Mr. Hyams' house, and
heard Hyams claim the property as his.
Hyams said that the whole was an untruth, and that
he should reserve his defence.
Mrs. Hyams—l'll reserve my defence, too, as I under-
stand it's no use to say anything here; but I say the
statement is false.
The second case against Solomon Hyams and his wife
was the charge of having been in possession of five coats
which had been stolen from the shop of Messrs. H. and
J. Baldwin, of Cornhill.
Ward, the officer, said that when he went to Hyams'
house about the robbery committed at Mr. Atten-
borough's, he followed Mrs. Hyams upstairs, and found
in a room there three pieces of cloth which had not
been as yet identified, and five coats which were
sworn to as having been stolen from Messrs. Baldwin's
premises.
The LORD MAYOR declared his intention to commit
both prisoners.
Mr. Wontner produced the marriage certificate of Mrs.
Hyams, and pleaded coverture for her.
The, LORD MAYOR said the female prisoner was ex-
cluded from the privilege by the fact that in one case she
had an exclusive dealing with stolen property in the
absence of her husband. His Lordship said he was per-
fectly satisfied at the course Mr. Humphreys had pur-
sued in admitting Lyons and his wire as evidence and
committed the two prisoners for trial fur stealing and
receiving.
Joshua Smith, a young fellow who had undergone two
previous examinations upon the charge of having entered
and robbed the house of a clothier in the Minories, was
brought up for final examination.
The principal evidence against the prisoner was Har-
riet Bull, a poor girl whom he had must cruelly treated.
She proved that she had seen him go into the premises
over the wall and return from them with some goods,
and she identified a coat and a knife which the prisoner
had left behind him on the premises when he committed
the robbery. In her cross-examination she said she
was 19 years of age, and that she had lived between four
and five years with the prisoner as his wife, during
which period he had frequently beaten and kicked, and
otherwise ill-treated her.
The LORD MAYOR—In what situation were you when
you first met with him? Witness—l was in service,
your Lordship, and he took me away upon a promise to
marry me.
Solicitor for the prisoner—Were you not tried your-
self? Witness—l was, Sir; and he was the cause of the
offence for which I was punished.
The LORD MAYOR—What was that offence? Witness
—My Lord, he sent me out. He forced me to go out
and pick up men in Ratcliffe-highway, and rob them for
him. I was sentenced to six months for that, but I never
would have thought of that or anything else bad but for
him.

The prisoner was committed for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Thomas Hackett was placed at the bar, charged with
i having been concealed n the dwelling- house of a gentle-
man named Dove, residing in the Oval, Hackney, for the
purpose of committing felony.
A lady named Spencer, residing in the house, stated,
that on the evening of Tuesday fortnight, while seated
in the parlour during the absence of the prosecutor's
family and servant, she was suddenly alarmed by a noise
in the kitchen, and on descending the stairs heard the
sound of a man's voice ordering some other person to
pack up various articles in the room for removal. On de-
scending lower she saw the prisoner standing in front
of a cupboard, the contents of which he was busily occu-
pied in transferring to a large basket beside him, with
the assistance of a lad; and, on demanding the reason of
such extraordinary conduct, the prisoner coolly told her
that he was only clearing out the closet, and that if
she did not interrupt him he would make her a
present. She told him, however, that she knew
he had no business there, and that she should
give him into custody, upon which the prisoner
loaded her with the most infamous epithets,
and threatened to smash her if she made the slightest
outcry; but, on seeing her determination to go to the
door and call for the police, he hurriedly dropped the
basket, and, rushing past her with such force as almost
to knock her down, effected his escape, leaving behind
him the boy, who appeared to be perfectly astounded at
his sudden disappearance, and accounted for his being
there by saying, that while standing at his mother's door
in an adjacent street, the prisoner, who told him that he
was the owner of the house, had asked him if he would
assist him in removing some of the goods, and on his
expressing a willingness to do so engaged his services.
The boy's statement at first appeared improbable, but on
inquiring into it it turned out to be perfectly correct, and
that his parents were respectable people in the neigh-
bourhood, and he was therefore allowed to go. Nothing
more of the prisoner, however, was seen until the evening
preceding, when the attention of the prosecutor, Mr.
Dove, was attracted by a crackling sort of noise in the
adjoining garden of a neighbour, and, seeing the pri-
soner attempting to conceal himself behind a row of
bushes, ho pounced upon and secured him until a con-
stable came up, when upon his being taken into custody
he was at once identified by Mrs. Spencer as the man
she had detected a fortnight before in the kitchen under
the circumstances related.
Charles Williams, the boy referred to, was now ex-
amined, and having repeated the statement he bad pre-
viously made, identified the prisoner as the man who had
so employed him.
When called upon for his defence, the prisoner de-
clared that, although his conduct might certainly ap.
pear strange, it was nothing more than the result of the
purest accident, the fact, he said, being that he had been
really engaged by one of the gentlemen living in the
Oval to remove a portion of his goods, and that he had
unfortunately mistaken the house.
Mr. Heenan", however, told him that his real object
was too manifest to admit of the slightest doubt, and he
should therefore order him to be committed to the House
of Correction for three calendar months as a rogue and
vagabond.
CLERKEN WELL.
John Henry Eaton, the master of St. Pancras work-
house, was put to the bar before Mr. Combo for further
examination, on the charge of having ravished Eliza
Smith, a pauper under his care.
Some further evidence was given, at the conclusion of
which Mr. Ballantine requested a remand.
Mr. CONDE assented, and agreed to take responsible
bail for the prisoner's {appearance on a future day,
when the depositions would be fully completed and he
should decide on the course to he taken. For the pre-
sent he should refrain from making any remark to pre-
judice Mr. Eaton or any one else, and until then it
was only fair that the prisoner should stand well with
the public.
Mr. Huddleston trusted the public would suspend their
judgment.
Mr. Ballantine hoped that every exertion would be
made to trace the women who, it was said, saw Mr.
Eaton and the girl go off in a cab, the driver of which
ought also to be forthcoming, as well as the brothel keeper.
Mr. Coe= concurred, and gave instructions to Mr.
M'Culloch, of the S division, to obtain that most mate-
rial evidence if Imitable-

The further investigation %N its then adjourned, and the
seemed vrias

very respectably connected, and Mary Ann Farmer,
married woman, of King-street, Commercial-road, de

property, value 1001., from the dwelling-house of gr.
John William Tripe, M.D. and surgeon, Ring'Blll4

Bull's Head, York-street, Westminster, and stetting
therein a silver watch, a quantity of spirits, nig° o
and other articles, together with a great number

Mr. Durrant retired to rest on the Wednesday nig d;o
leaving the lower part of the house properly see., hureo
and in the morning at six o'clock discovered that 't bad
