SWINDLING.--A chargler, who has. acquirid
some notoriety in the Swindling World, was on
Thursday committed from the Mansion-house by the
LORD MAYOR, ti take his trial on no less than
seven .separate charges, for defrauding different
tradesmen. This adVencurer—, whose name is John
Hawkins, appears to have reigned on the town for-
the last twelve months, and to have been very suc-
cessful, as well as very adroit in the execution of
his plans. The names which he has most frequently
assumed, are Wells, Gilchrist and Co. Fisher, Cary,
and Magrath. - The principal charges against him
are by Mr. John. Haydon, Cheapside, from whom
he obtained 3o ells of silk2mode,'worth ss. 6d. per
ell, pretending to come frOm his neighbour, Mrs.
Magrath, in whose shop he said a lady was wait-
ing for it; by Mr. Baker, of St. Paul's Church.
yard, for procuring in'the same way, lace to the
value of sol. ; and by Mr. 'Wilson, 'silk-merchant,
for having, in a similar manner, Obtained silk to
the amount of 271. He was apprehended in conse-
quence of a circular letter published by Mr. Gil-
christ, ofFleet-street, in whose name he procured
different articles
.in .November last • and upon his
apartments being searched by Mr. HOLDSWORTH,
the City Marshal, eighty pawnbrokers' duplicates,
Were found, including the befOre-mentioned goods,
and others equally valuable, which are supposed to
have been procured by the same means. The dif-
ferent pawnbroker's, attended with the utmost rea-
diness, and were, with their cl6rks, bound-over to
give evidence at the next session, which commences
on Wednesday.

A most shocking, and almosfunprecedented, aa
of murder and suicide, was committed on Monday
night last, about eight o'clock, in a yard near the
bottom of Cecil's Gullet, between Lichfield-street
and Stafford-street, Birmingham. During the ser-
vice of her husband in the army, a woman of the
name of Yeomans had cohabited with John Jee, a
steel-grinder, who resided in the place above-men-
tioned ; and her husband having returned home about
a month since, she left Jee, and went to live with
him again., On Monday night the woman went to
fee's house to settle, or justify herself from a small
debt, which he reported she had left unpaid ; but
as soon as she entered his door, the monster, in a
paroxysm of jealousy and resentment, seized her,
and cut her throat. in two places in a most dreadful
manner, with a razor. The unfortunate creature
gave a lound shriek, and ran into the yard, en-
deavouring to close the mortal wound with her
hands ; she fell almost direlly. Jee followed her to
the door, and seeing her fall, immediately, with the
same instrument, cut his own throat so terribly, that
he instantly dropped down near her, and they
both died in a few minutes, with very little strug-
gling or convulsion. The alarm the woman first
gave brought several persons to the spot, but the
business was so terrifying and instantaneous, that
there was no time for any one to prevent the man
from murdering himself. Several medical gen-
tlemen attended, but of 'no use, for the sufferers,
though warm, had then ceased to breathe. They
both bled very much. After lying in the yard till
a recognition of the aa had been taken by proper
persons, they were both removed into JEE's house,
where the affair now waits the legal decision of a
Coroner's Inquest.—The- woman appears to be
about 40 years of age.—To avoid that confusion
which must have ensued had the precaution not
been taken, parties of the King's Dragoon Guards
were stationed in the avenues leading to the house,
to prevent the great number of people that assem-
bled in the street, from reaching the spot where
this extraordinary crime was committed.
