IVIARLBRO'-STREET--(THIS DAY')
CHARGE OF FRAUD _Douglas, alias Cap tt's
Douglas, with Arthur Douglas and Charles .Lionel Dougial
ne';
his two sons, were brought before Mr. Hardwick for fi
examination, charged with having defrauded several trades-
men of property to a large amount.
There was no additional evidence to that which hes
already appeared in this journal, with the exceptionustody of Ors
of the constable wt o took the elder Douglas into
The following is the evidence alluded to : e B
Sergeant Allen, an active and intelligent officer, of the
division, stated that some time ago the elder prisoner wrote a
begging-letter to a clergyman in the country, who in return
wrote to the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of 47, Chester-square, le
c.
whose district the prisoner resides, to inquire into the character
of Captain Douglas. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton sent a message
to the prisoner, requesting hint to call upon him. Poughli
not venturing to show himself in public, sent the note 10°-
dared by Mrs. Douglas, stating his inability to leaven h?
house in consequence of illness. Mr. Hamilton then prop ed
to call on the following morning. Instead of doing so, the
Reverend Gentleman communicated with witness at the sta-
tion, and banded him the letter he kad received from the
prisoner, and on the morning of the 14th inst. witness at-
tired himself in the garb of a clergyman, and repaired to the
residence of Douglas, No. 6, Belgrave-terrace, Pimlico, and
knocked at the door, which was opened by a female servant.
As soon as she saw witness, she said. " Oh, you are the
gentleman my master has been expecting; please 10
walk in." Witness was then shown into the parlour
to the elder prisoner, who was lying on a wretched straw
bed apparently in great pain. Witness asked the prisoner
if he was Charles Douglas? He replied in the affirmative."
and said, •• You are the Rey. Mr. Hamilton, I presume.
Witness said " No I am not; I am a police-constable, and
you must consider yourself in my custody." The prisoner
then called out to his wife in the next room, " I am be-
trayed—l am betrayed—l am in custody ! This is a
police officer, and not the Reverend Mr. Hamilton."
He then turned to witness and said, " I cannot
help it; I give you credit, officer, perhaps I shank'
have done the same were I in your position." Wit-
ness then took him to the station. Allen added that al-
though the lower part of the house appeared to be miserably
furnished, the upper part was furnished with every comfort.
The depositions were then read over, and the 14tole of
the prisoners were committed for trial.

FALLING OF HOUSES IN SOUTHWARIC..""' Last
evening, about half-past ten o'clock, the inhabitants of
Southwark were thrown into a state of considerable excite-
ment by the falling of two houses in Newington-causeway.
One of the houses was in the occupation of a boot and shoe-
maker,, and the other undergoing alterations for the enlarge-
ment of the premises of Mr. Jones, linendraper, who occu-
pies the adjoining house It is surmised that the workmen
in altering the unoccupied premises bad cut through the
brestsummer or main timber support of the building. The
whole structure fell outwards, carrying with it the next
house. The occupier of the boot shop, with his wife, were,
at the time of the accident, in a lonwhe,rudrocormacht tghenobiasec,ktphaerty
of the house, when, on hearing
rushed out, and had barely reached the street when the house
fell with tremendous noise.
