FOREIGN-OFFICE, FEB. 20.

WORSHIP-STREET.--James Pillar, alias Stonely,
was charged with the following frauds ;
Anne Green---I am a widow, living in Derbyshire-street,
in Charles-street,
Badejtohinnainl-gg,reoenn' andMo "ndaays,a'tthme yBrhifignhsot.u,se, when the prisoner
knocked at the door, and asked me if I hal not some pro-
perty abroad. I said no, but I had in the Isle of Wight,
and he replied, " Well, then, I am come to tell you that
it will all be in Chancery if you don't give me 103.
and :5 s . for letters sent backwards and forwards about it."
He then told me I was to go to Mr. Randsell, of 18, Strand,
next morning, at 10 o'clock, and settle it. I believed his
statement, and gave him 15s. 11id., and he accompanied
we home to get the money.
William Green—l aur a labourer, and the last witness's
son. When we told the prisoner our property was in the
Isle of Wight ho said, " Ay, yes, that's it ;" and when
directing us, after paying him the money, to go to 18,
Strand, he said, "Ask for Mr. Joseph's offices, and you
will be shown into mine." Instead of going next morn-
ing, however, we went the same evening, and found that
what he had told us was totally false, inasmuch as the
people there told us that numbers of people had applied to
them under the same circumstances, complaining very
bitterly of the way they had been cheated,and theyshowed
us a list of the people.
John Boyd—l am a weaver at Mile-end. On Wednes-
day, the 10th, the prisoner came to my house and asked 1

me if I had not somebody abroad belonging to me. I have

at my office iu the Strand to-morrow before half-past two,
or you will not receive the property." I believed what he
said, and paid him 12e., and, after giving me two six-
pences back, he said, "The halfpenny will do another
time, as I am going to see an old lady in Ratcliffe-high-
wa.y." I accompanied him a short distance and showed
him the way, but I soon discovered that I had been de-
frauded, and saw no more of him till I found him in ens-
v Oft another charge.
,
Thomas Haumioud, of Brompton-place, Stepney.—On
Tuesday, the 9th inst., the prisoner stopped me in Corn-
mereial-street, Whitechapel and asked my Christian and
surname. I told him, and he exclaimed, " Why, we have
advertised for you in the plefapt ou ?" I said, " No, lam
ers; are you aware there is a
large quantity of property
not." " Well, there is, then," said he : "just step home,
and I'll tell you." I went home with him, and then my
y
p
wife handed me a direction he had just before left with
her, and he told us to go to 18, Strand, that afternoon, or
next morning at the latest, or the property would be cer
tainly thrown into Chancery, and we should never got any
of it. We walked with him and he demanded 1 Os. 91. to
stay the Chancery proceedings,the greater portion of which
we gave him, but nothing came of it,
and we next dis-
covered wo had been robbed of our money.
Henry Sprott--I are assistant to Mr. Thomas Allen, an
army outfitter, of 18, Strand, and I never saw the prisoner
before to-day that lam aware of. Within the last six weeks
innumerable persons have applied at our house for a 11r.
Randall or Randsell, but no such person ever lived there,
nor is there the slightest foundation for the statement
made by the prisoner that our house is a place used for any
such purpose.
Queenby, 125 LI, said I have 14 other C 3335 of the same
description still.
The prisoner, who described himself as a draper's assis-
tant, and was stated by the police to have been repeatedly
in custody for robbery and other offencee, laughed contiau-
ally at the witnesses while describing the plausible manner
by which he bad taken advantage of them, and, on being
called upon for hie defence, replied tartly, " Oh, I shall
reserve it ; I knew nothing whatever about it ; they are
all certainly mad."
The prisoner was committed for trial.
