NOVEMBER 13, 1851.

Wills-road, who his been several tim,s exqtnioed,
charged with the wilful murder of Mrs. ElizAbetia
Dor..thea Davis, his wife, was finally examined.
WAeling, for the prisoner, contended that
there was no evidence to prove haw the deceased's
hand was injured. The coroner's jury had returned
a verdict that the deceased died from inflAunnation
of the arm, hut how it was caused there was not
sufficient evidence to show. If the prisoner w4s to be
cointnlttea or the mauslitugh er, tie suggested than
bail might be taken for his appearance at the sessions.
Mr. Binns objected to bail.
Mr. COREIE said he had given the case his fullest
attention, and had decided on committing the prisoner
for trial, on the charge of manslaughter; and as the
sessions were so near, he should decline taking bail.
The prisoner was accordingly fully committed to
Newgate for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the re exa-
mination of an extensive body of alleged swindlers,
who were charged with conspiring together to obtain
goods and money from merchants, tradesmen, and
loan societies, to a large amount, the court was densely
thronged with respectable persons from an early hour,
amongst whom were, as estimated by the officers,
nearly a hundred complainants, who had charges of
that kind to prefer against them.
Tee first prisoner so placed at the bar was George
Grey Kingdon, but also known under a number of
aliases, who was charged with obtaining numerous
sums of money from diffsrent loan societies under
false and fraudulent representations.
Upon several cases the prisoner was discharged, as
coming within the category of simple contract debts;
upon others he was remanded for a week upo❑ bail
and recognisances to the amount of 1601.
Matthew Matthews, Charles Richard Burdett
Walker, Horatio Stainbridge, Richard Lowe, and
Francis Williams, five very respectable looking young
men, were next put to the bar fur further exami-
nation.

Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, was now in attendance,
and stated that he appeared on behalf of the Trades'
Protection Society, 170, Regent-street, to charge the
prisoners with probably the most widely ramified and
systematic conspiracy to defraud the public that had
ever been brought within the cognisance of a police-
court. He was in possession of a vast number of
charges against them, but in consequence of being
only recently retained, and the complicated and intri-
cate nature of the facts, he was only at present pre-
pared to go into one, in addition to those before en-
tered upon, though at the next examination he should
be in a position to adduce such evidence as would con-
clusively implicate the whole of the accused in a
charge of conspiracy.
After some evidence, which went to establish the
joint conspiracy of the prisoners, the magistrate
ordered the whole of them to be remanded, and posi-
tively refused to accept any bail fur their future ap-
pearance.
An elderly respectably dressed woman, named
Eliza Buckell, was next charged with being a party
to the fraudulent conspiracy of the last-mentioned
prisoners. She was also remanded, and ordered to
be brought up next week for re-examination with the
other prisoners.
Four other men, named William lon, George
Crowe, James Cowley, and Joseph Johnson, who
were transferred to this court from Marlborough •
street, upon suspicion of having acted in conjunction
with the former prisoners in carrying out their
fraudulent purposes, and in whose possession a num-
ber of documents was discovered, containing lists of
names for reference to each other, as fictitious secu-
rities in their operations, were next brought up ; and
after a short examination were also ordered to be re-
manded.
