Turner, ao elderly war!, formerly master of a ship in the
coal trade, was charged with defraucing several licensed
victuallers.

ping, said that a fortnight ago the prisoner represented
himself to him as Master of the Margaret, a collier, of
North Shields, and as having been robbed of all his
pocket-money at the Pavillion Theatre. He wormed him-
self into the landlord's good graces by stating that he ex-
pected another ship in the river, and the landlord should
have the employment of the coal-whippers. He was
supplied with a capital supper and a good bed, and
;he next morning he was introduced as Captain Tur-
ner to the landlady and several Captains. At dirmer
he " did the amiable " most gracefully. " May I ask
you to take a potatoe', or any thing else, Mrs.
B. ? " "To your health, Mr. B." " A prosperous
voyage, Captain 5.," &c. After dinner he borrowed 20s;
of Mrs. 8., and took his departure.

himself to him as Captain Carr, and as having just landed.

Mrs. Adnett.
