POLICE INTELLIGENCE—June 24.

GUILDHALL.—TIIE ALLEGED TESTIMONIAL
FRAUDS.—Robert Marks, a gentlemanly middle-
aged man, with a very imposing appearance, was
brought up on remand, for further examination,
relative to numerous frauds which, it was alleged,
he had committed in connection with the collection
of subscriptions for the " Cort Testimonial Fund"
and a testimonial to Alderman Me3hi.
Alderman Salomons presided. Sir P. Laurie,
Alderman Copeland, Sir J. Musgrove, Alderman
Wilson, Alderman Mechi, Sir It. W. Carden, Mr.
Whitbread, of the well-known brewery firm, Mr.
Snape, a barrister, and many other gentlemen in-
terested in the case, were present during the pro-
ceedings.
Mr. Humphreys,jun., of the firm of Humphreys,
Son, and Morgan, of Giltspur-chambers, Newgate-
street, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Beard, of
Basinghall-street, defended the prisoner.
The evidence of Mr. Thorley, the patent cattle-
food proprietor, Mr. 11. Cort, the son of the inven-
tor of the puding and rolling process in the manu-
facture of iron, and *other witnesses examined at
the former hearing having been read over,
Mr Humphreys said this was a prosecution in-
stituted by Alderman Mechi, whose name had been
used by the prisoner in the matters about to be in-
vestigated, and the worthy alderman felt that great
injustice would have been done to the public had
he not taken . the necessary steps to secure his
apprehension, in order that he might be 'tried for
the frauds alleged against him.
The following additional evidence was then called:
James Gale said—l am 'a clerk in the Royal
Agricultural Society's office, and I know of no tes-
timonial being got up by the society to Alderman
Mechi. The prisoner has not, to my knowledge,
ever been employed in any way by the society.
Mr. Robert James Snape said—l am a barrister-
at-law, and have chambers at 2, Stone-buildings.
I recollect the prisoner coming to my chambers on
the 31st of Decz:mber last, and representing that he
was engaged in collecting subscriptions to a testi-
monial to Alderman Mechi. He exhibited a docu-
ment, either parchment or paper, containing the
names of a number of persons who, he said, were
all subscribers to the testimonial. I objected to any
testimonial, upon which he urged the claim of Ald.
Mechi to a testimonial, on the ground of his services
to the cause of scientific farming. As a further in-
ducement to subscribe, he said that every subscriber
would have a copy of Alderman Mechi's portrait or
print. I told him not to send me a print, as I should
decline to receive it ; but that as I was personally
acquainted with Alderman Mechi, and on that
ground only I would subscribe. I then gave him
a cheque made payable to the " Mechi's Testimo-
nial" for £1 ls., which has since been paid, and the
voucher returned to me. I believe the prisoner men-
tioned what the testimonial was to consist of, but I
do not recollect what it was to be. _

Cross•examined—l never saw either the prisoner
or the printed circular produced before. Ido not
recollect signing the subscription list.
Mr. Beard here pointed out a signature on the
subscription list, and upon witness acknowledging
it as his writing, said the heading of the list was a
perfect answer to the charge, inasmuch as it set
forth that the subscription was for a testimonial
print, of which be had a copy present, and which,
being a very beautifully-executed portrait, was well
worth the whole amount subscribed.
Mr. Humphreys objected to the heading of the
testimonial being read in evidence, because it formed
no part of the sheet of paper containing witness's
signature.
Mr. Beard expressed surprise at the objection, as
the evidence he now offered contained the gist of
the whole case.
Mr. Humphreys said it could not be received in
evidence, as the witness did not recollect seeing the
heading of the testimonial at all.
Mr. Snape—l paid the subscription totally dis-
tinct from any print, and solely for the testimonial.
I did receive a print about a month after. I believe
there was no heading to the subscription list I saw.
Mr. Beard—He might here state that, so far
from these subscriptions being obtained under false
pretences, or without authority, the whole matter
was conducted with the knowledge and sanction of
Mr. Bazin, Alderman Mechi's partner, who fur-
nished the prisoner with a list of the subscribers
to the original testimonial. He should have to
cross-examine Mr. Bazin upon some matters, and
he therefore trusted the prosecution would call him
to enable him to do so.

Mr. Humphreys said he could not undertake to
call Mr. Bazin unless his evidence should hereafter
be deemed material to the prosecution.
Mr. Beard said—Then he should be obliged to
call him as a witness for the defence.
Mr. Humphreys said that was all the eiidence
he had to offer in that case.
Bull, the detective officer who apprehended the
prisoner, said there was a witness here in Mr. Cort's
case, and ho rather expected Lord Berners would
have been present, as his lordship promised to attend
if he could.
was no pretence for any
chargeßeardaga saidthe
inst there
prisoner by Lord Berners.
Mr. Thompson 'said--I am a civil engineer, and
assistant to Messrs. Rendell, of Great George-street,
Westminster. On the 7th January, 1857, the pri-
soner called on Messrs. Itendell, and solicited sub-
scriptions for the ". Cort Testimonial Fund."
Messrs. Rendell authorised me to give £5 towards
the fund, and on handing over that amount to the
prisoner he gave me this receipt. The prisoner
represented the strong claims of the Cort family
upon the engineering profession and the public, in
consequence of the father's invention for the manu-
facture of iron. I paid him the amount, believing
he was authorised to collect for the fund.
Mr. Richard Cort said—l never received one
farthing of the sum of £5 paid to the prisoner
for the " Cort Tcstimonisi Fund" of Messrs. Ren-
dell, in January, 1857. I regularly dismissed
the prisoner in October, 1856, by letter sent
through the post, and I subsequently told him
myself that he was dismissed, I told him SO before
the date of the payment of the £5 by Messrs.
Rendell.
Cross-examined—A committee was formed for
carrying out this testimonial, and an account was
opened at Sir John Lubbock's bank for receiving
the subscriptions to the fund. The prisoner was
never employed by that committee. I had power over
the fund as the originator of it, for the benefit of
myself and sisters. Her Majesty the Queen sub-
scribed (from the Royal Bounty Fund through Lord
Palmerston) to the National Fund, which I com-
menced. My character has suffered through my
connexion with this man, and I wish to explain
how I became acquainted with him. I engaged him
as collector, but he violated every instruction.
Mr. Humphreys said Mr. Cort's character was
perfectly free from imputation.
Mr. G. Norgate Hooper, coach-maker, of 38, Hay-
market, said—The prisoner called on me on the 29th
of November, 1856, and represented himself as the
authorised collector for the " Cort Testimonial
Fund," and in consequence of such representation
I gave him two guineas. He produced a list of
names of first-rate gentlemen, and on recognising
one I knew I became satisfied tho application was
genuine.
Mr. Humphreys here applied for a remand as he
had only been instructed at the eletenth hour, and
having received communications from Bath, Chester,
Derby, Reading, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield,
Wolverhampton, and from almost all parts of the
country relative to the prisoner and his testimonial
presentations, which he had not had time to inves-
tigate, he was not prepared to proceed further with
the case at present.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded till Friday
next.

LAMBETH.—THE DOCTOR WATTERS' GANG—
FINAL EXAMINATION AND COMMITMENT OF THE
PRISONERS.-John Nicho3 Watters, alias Dr.
Watters, alias Doctor Locock, and Claude Edwards
were placed at the bar before the Hon. G.
C. Norton, for final examination, on a charge of
conspiring, with others not in custody, in defraud-
ing a number of persons, under the pretence of
curing them of deafness and other infirmities under
which they laboured.
Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the prosecution,
and Mr. Neale appeared for the prisoner Wattprs.
Mr. Lewis said that from the inquiries that had
been instituted it had been ascertained that the pt
soner Watters had, as far back as about the year
1833, pleaded guilty to a charge of arson, and was
sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment; and sub-
sequent to that had been tried, convicted, and sen-
tenced to three years' imprisonment for personating
other persons at Surgeons'-hall. Ills worship
would be also told by a witness whom he should
call, that the prisoner had a second fire of a very
suspicious character, but no prosecution took place.
Mr. Norton—Have you learned anything of the
character of the prisoner Edwards ?

Mr. Lewis—Well, sir, his story is, that he had
been brought up as a chemist, but had, unfortu
nately for himself, fallen in with the prisoner
Watters and the Bennetts, and I do not think I
can better illustrate his character since that period
than by reading over tb.o,publifib.od trantionpt of

the notes taken bya short-hand writer on a trial at
the Old Bailey, in April last.
Mr. Norton—What case was that ?

Mr. Lewis—The trial of an indictment preferred
by Stowell, the informer, against a Mr. Haynes and
others, for conspiring with the Bennetts to obtain
money, and which indictment had been preferred
without any previous inquiry. On that trial. the
prisoner Edwardswascalled as a witness and said:

2—" I live at 28, North-street, Limehouse. I was
in the employment of Messrs. Bennett Brothers, of
32, Spring-gardens. They carried on the business
of chemists. I know the defendant Haynes. I have
seen him frequently at 32, Spring-gardens. I was
assistant to compound the medicine, and gave it to
the patients. I know the composition of the me-
dicine perfectly well. There were five composi•
tions—ear drops, embrocation, injection, fumiga-
tion, and tincture. This bottle contains the em-
brocation, and this the injection. This is urine;
they are all the same, differently coloured. The
fumigation has no oil in it, the others have oil. This
one is train oil, what they call cabbage oil, and
urine. This red mixture is a solution of cochineal
and urine, the urine extracts the colour from the
cochineal. This one is drops for the ear. Two or
three of these went together, and they were charged
from ls. to £2, £3, and £4, it depended on the pa-
tients. We had a great many patients, I should
think 20 or 30 a-day. I kept the books and made
entries. I have not the books with me. The profit
was at least £2,000 for each of the two brothers
Bennett." Your worship has in this testimony a
tolerable specimen of the prisoner Edwards, who,
according to his own account, had been in the habit
of making up such abominable filth, and disposing
of it to his afflicted but unfortunate dupes. I shall
now call before you a witness or two, who will con.
nect the prisoners more particulrrly with the Spring
Gardens establishment, and a medical gentleman to
speak to the character of the medicine supplied,
and its probable effects on the patients, and having
done this I shall call upon your worship to commit
the prisoners to take their trial on the charge of
conspiring together to obtain money from the dif-
ferent witnesses by gross fraud.
The first witness called was

Mr. Joshua Woolrich, of 14, South-street, Gros-
venor-square, who deposed, that in consequence of
an advertisement which he had seen in one of the
morning papers he called at No. 32, Spring-gardens,
and there observed a plate with the words " British
and Foreigd Infirmary for the Cure of the Diseases
of the Ear and Eye," on the door, and also the name
of " Dr. Watters." He was shown into a room by a
livery servant and saw the prisoner Edwards, whom
he addressed, saying he came for the cure of deaf-
ness, and asked for Dr. Waters. Edwards replied
that he was Dr. Watters, commenced examining
his ears, and said he was quite confident he could
cure him in a fortnight for £2 2s. or £2 35., that it
was mere nervousness, and that the remedies were
to be applied to the ear. He then left the room
for a short time, and came back with a large and a
small bottle, said he was to use the large one
with a syringe to his ears, and the small one was
to rub outside the ears. He said the charge was £2
ss. 6d., and he (witness) paid it. He used the "stuff"
as directed, but said that instead of doing him any
good it made him ill, and in consequence he went
the following week, when he again saw Edwards,
whom he told he had received no benefit, but suf-
fered great pain by the use of the medicine he gave
him. He (Edwards) said the case was worse than
he at first thought it to be, and he required a fur-
ther sum of £2 10s. for a vapour bath, which would
cure him, and produced the lamp and tube he here
produced. The witness here exhibited a small in-
strument, which stood about five inches high, which
resembled a small lamp with a small tube on the
top like a blow-pipe, and its appearance created
much laughter. The prisoner, he said, on giving
him this instrument, told him he was to purchase
some tincture of myrrh, soak it in some wool, burn
it in the lamp, and while it was so burning to place
the end of the tube into his ear, so that the vapour
might pass in. He paid him the £2 10s., and re-
ceived the receipt produced from Edwards in his
own handwriting, but which he signed " Jno. W.
Waters." The witness used the vapour bath, and
in doing so suffered excruciating pain in the head,
and after applying it for seven or eght times be-
came so ill that he was obliged to keep his bed.
On the following week he went again to Spring-
gardens, and saw a young man, who said he was
the brother of Dr. Wafters, that Dr. Watters was
not at home, and that he (witness) was to keep on
the same remedies until the following week. He
did so, and on the following week called again,
when he saw the prisoner Watters, who repre-
sented himself to be merely a friend of the doctor's,
and always attended his patients in his absence.
Witness told him he had been under his treatment

for three weeks, and received nc benefit; but, on
the contrary, had suffered great pain. The pri-
soner replied, "He had no doubt he should cure
him in a short time ; that he did not think he
(witness) had been treated properly by Dr. Wat-
ters, but that he should attend to him himself, and
had no doubt of effecting a cure," The prisoner
further said, he (witness) required some more medi-
cine, left the room, and he saw no more of him.
The young man he (witness) at first saw, came into
the room with a bottle of medicine, for which he
demanded 17s. 6d., but witness told him he could
not pay it. The young man said he could not have
it without paying something on account, and he
half-a-crown, promising to give him the remainder
when he next came. e subsequently summoned
the party to the Westminster County Court to re-
cover his money, as the stuff he received was not of
the least use to him, but they never appeared to the
summons, and he lost his money. ,
In cross-examination he (witness) acknowledged
that he had never given any money to the prisoner
Watt ers.
The Chief Clerk here read over the testimony
given on a former examination by Mr. E. D. Rogers,
the medical analyist, respecting the medicine, or
rather that which they called medicine, suppliedby
the prisoners to their unfortunate patients. That
gentleman said—" The three bottles produced were
delivered to me in a parcel, sealed up. I have exa-
mined the lead-coloured liquid in one of the small
bottles. It contains a small quantity of sulphate of
zinc and a quantity of compound spirit of lavender,
and a little iron deposit, as if some iron oxide had
been put in. The medicine is not of the slightest use
in deafness, neither the ingredients nor the propor-
tions. The large bottle contains a small quantity of
the sulphate of lead, deposited, and zinc in solution,
no doubt the result of a mixture of sulphate of
zinc and acetate of lead mixed with water; and it
is not at all useful in curing deafness. The small
bottle contains either rancid olive oil or rape oil,
and a little oil of elder, with a little soap, appa-
rently made by the addition of an alkali. That
medicine would not cure deafness. I should not
like to put it into my ear, it would irritate it."
Mr. Samuel Evans Smith, surgeon to the Na-
tional Ear Institution, in Pall-mall East, said—l
have heard a description of the contents of the
bottles that were produced, and, with the ex-
ception of the soap, not one of the articles men-
tioned would be of any service in the case of
deafness. Most of the articles mentioned would
be injurious, and in some cases highly dangerous,
and what I would not use myself on any condition.
Acetate of lead, if used by a person, the membrane
of whose car was perforated, might prove highly
dangerous, and it might go so far as to be fatal.
Further evidence was given of the fact of the
prisoner assuming the name of Dr. Locock, after
which both were fully committed for trial, and Mr.
Norton refused to give any order respecting the
£6 or £7 found on them when taken into custody.
At the termination of the case Mr. Norton com-
plimented Mr. Jones, the prosecutor, for his per-
severing conduct in bringing the prisoners to
justice, and told him the public were very much
indebted to him for breaking up such gross im-
postors.

WOOLWICH.—ABDUCTION AND PERJURY.—
Thomas Bailey, aged 30, a labourer, employed at
Woolwich Arsenal, was placed at the bar, before
Mr. Trail), on remanded charges of abducting and
decoying from her home Ann Green, aged 15 years,
and committing perjury by making a false declara-
tion, in order to obtain a marriage certificate.
!The father of the girl, Samuel Green, a ship-
wright employed at the Dockyard, and residing at
19, Joseph-street, Woolwich, deposed—the prisoner
had lodged at his house for 14 months, and during
that period he had never observed any familiarity
between the prisoner and his daughter ; but on the
9th instant he had heard that they had
been
married at the Roman Catholic church. On ascer-
taining this 'fact he ejected the prisoner from his
n
house, but his daughter remained.
authorised the marriage, and knew liotehihdof oitt
nga
until informed by his neighbours.
The Rev. Charles Morgan, Roman Catholchaplain to the forces at Woolwich, deposed that,
on the 20th of May last, Thomas Bailey and Ann
Green were by him married, at the Roman Catho-
lie church, Woolwich, in the presence of the regis-
trar, and in accordance with the rites of the Roman
Catholic religion. A legal certificate was produced,
in which Ann Green was described as being 'l7
years of age.
from the
Mr. Traill—But did it not strike you,
appearance of the girl, that she was far too young
Ito contract matrimontat ties: I should certainly
have had that thought.
Witness replied—lie did not pay particular at-
tention to the parties, but relied on the registrar's
certificate, which described the female as 17 years
of age.
Mr. W. Jackson, registrar for Woolwich district,
proved being present at the marriage, and Mr.
saw, r4lll4l.4lt"Kthig registrar, Produed the don-

went, which set forth that the consent of her
parents had been given for the marriage of Ann
Green, a minor, aged 17, to Thomas Bailey.
The prisoner now stated that he believed the girl
to be 17 years of age. He should reserve his
defence.

Mr. Traill said he should commit the prisoner
for trial on the two charges of abduction and per-
jury. The law provided that in the case of the
marriage Of a minor, a declaration should be made
that th consent of the parents or guardians had
been given, and any person making a false declara-
tion was guilty of perjury.
The prisoner was then committed.
