Sarah Butler, the woman whose case we detailed
a few days since of imposing upon several of the
Nobility and Gentry, was placed at the bar for re-
examination. Out of the charges against her one
alone has been taken, that of imposing upon Mary
Madden, a servant at the Quadrant Hotel, Regent-

berg, alias Nartindoff, and Robert, his son, a boy
about fourteen years of age, were yesterday placed
at the bar for re-examination, charged with robbing
their ready-furnished lodgings.
Mr. James Hallett, No. 1, Charles-street, Port-
man-square, stated that the prisoners and the wife
of the man took lodgings in his house about a month
ago, which they left in the middle of last week,
without having paid any rent. On entering the bed-
room they had occupied, he missed two blankets
and a bolster, which he found had been pledged at
the shop of Mr. Cottrell, pawnbroker, Oxford-
street. He immediately gave information to the
police, who succeeded in taking the prisoners into
custody.
Sergeant Godwin, D 7, said, from information he
received he apprehended the two prisoners at a
public-house in Bear-street, Leicester-square, on
Friday evening last; on the eldest prisoner he found
duplicates for property pledged, some of which be-
longed to Mr. Hallett ; he also found on him letters
which clearly showed that he obtained money from
the nobility and gentry, by representing to them
that he was a person who, from misfortunes, had a
claim to their kindness and compassion. One of
the letters was directed to Charles Woodford,
Esq., Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, and ran as
follows :
" Honoured Sir,—Pardon a distressed man for having
taken the liberty to address himself to your honour. I
beg you will accept my sincere thanks for the kind pro-
tection you have hitherto afforded me. I suffered a great
deal in my voyage to Russia, where I accompanied a gen-
tleman. I had the misfortune to be run over by a car-
riage, by which accident I was so much injured, as to be
unable to continue my journey. After having been cured
I was obliged to return to England on foot to my wife
and chillren, whom I found in great distress, in conse-
quence of my having been fifteen months absent. In this
deplorable situation, I have taken the liberty to make
application to your humanity, and I humbly solicit you,
honoured Sir, for a small donation, for which I shall be
ever grateful, and we will pray for your prosperity.--I
retnain, honoured Sir, your most obedient servant,
" WASSILI NARTINDOFF."
Sergeant Godwin added that he had waited on Mr.
Woodford, who said the prisoner had grossly im-
posed on his charity for the last year and a half,but
that the prisoner always signed his
name Steinberg.
