opened a few nights ago, with a company consisting
of boys and girls. The nuisance to the inhabitants
has been intolerable, and on Thursday last a depu-
tation waited upon Mr. GREGORIE to reFtresent the
circumstances.
Mr. GREGORIE advised them to apply immedi-
ately to the police, which was accordingly done.
The prisoner was taken into custody by Phillips,
one of the constables of the B division, No. 15, and
on being placed at the bar, he presented a most ex-
traordinary appearance; being partly dressed in some
rusty armour, and part of a soldier's jacket, tinselled
over.

Phillips said, that about 9 o'clock on the previous
evening there were about 200 persons collected a,
the doors of Harcourt's Subscription Theatre, most
of them thieves, young girls, and sweeps, and the
prisoner was standing outside in the strange dress
he was in at present, blowing a trumpet, shouting,
and calling in the persons to witness the perform-
ance, at one penny each. as they were just going to
begin. W7ith some difficulty he got hold of him,
upon which a row began.
Mr. GREGORIE asked the prisoner what he had to
say in his defence.
The prisoner said he was out of employment, and
he accidentally met with Harcourt, who asked him
if he coed act in a play ; he replied that he thought
he could as well as here and there one, but it must
be in tragedy, for he thought that was his line, arid
Harcourt engaged him. He did not think there was
any harm in it.
Mr. GREGORIE said he could not allow him to dis-
turb the neighbourhood, and collect such a mob of
persons in the street ; he should therefore require
him to send for his friends, and find bail for hisgood
behaviour. The prisoner was then removed.
A letter was picked up in the Theatre by one of
the constables, after the clearance, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy :

MAR YLEB ONE.
Yesterday, John Pinwager, alias William Golding-,
was re-examined on various charges of fraud and
forgery.
The prisoner was originally brought to this office
by inspector Aggs, on the charge of having de-
frauded the firm of Messrs. Bagwell and Willinger,
of Union-wharf, Pimlico, of three bills—the first for
61/. 155., purporting to be drawn on Mr. William
Taylor, of Caine, Wilts; the second on Smith, of
Lombard-street ; and the third on a firm, the name
of which did not appear ; all which bills proved to
be fictitious.
The prisoner was apprehended in Grove-street,
Camden-town, when he admitted to Captain I-lall
that he had mminitted certain forgeries; and added,
" For God's sake do not take me before the Magis-
trates ; for if you do, it is most likely it will prove
fatal to me, as I shall have other charges brought
against me."
Burridge, the officer, it appeared, had got infor-
mation of the prisoner's situation, and happened to
have a warrant against him on a charge of horse-
stealing, on which charge he was now placed at
the bar.

Mr. John Paul Bannister, of Harley-mews, Caven-
dish-square, livery-stable-keeper, said the prisoner
went to him on the 18th of July, and ordered a
horse and gig for six days, which witness had since
discovered he, the prisoner, had disposed of on the
same day to a Mr. Evans. At the time he
hired the horse anti gig he said they VIM re for a
friend at Kennington, and he agreed to pay 15s. per
day for their use, but he (witness) had never met
with him till he accidently found him in St.
James's-park. The prisoner, who at that time was
not suspected, made an excuse that his friend had
been just married, and, having got tipsy, was un-
able to leave town. Subsequently, witness met the
prisoner in Jermyn-street, where he tendered him a
bill for the sum of 341. 10s., saying, " If you can
do any thing with this bill, make use of it." Wit-
ness had no faith in the bill, and expressed his un-
easiness at the non-return of the horse and gig. At
length he requested his son to keep a sharp look-
out, and the consequence was, that both horse and
gig were discovered at the door of the Horns at
Kennington.
Mr. Thomas Evans, of Belvedere-place, Ber-
mondsey, stated that on the 18th of July the prisoner
offered him a gray horse, with chaise and harness,
for the sum of 35/., which he bought, and took a bill
and receipt. He afterwards left town, and on his
return he was surprised to find Mr. Bannister had
claimed both horse and gig.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said that Mr.
Evans had given him an undertaking, drawn up
by Solomon Solomons, by which he engaged to re-
turn him the horse and gig, on the payment of 204
Mr. Evans now declared that this referred to a
former transaction, and had nothing to do with the
present. He had paid the prisoner ad valoreni, and
had noth'ng to do with the alleged bargain for 201.
on return.
Mr. HosmNs—This is rather an unusual charge.
Prisoner, what do you say to it ?—Pinwager said,
that he had really lent the horse and gig to Mr.
Evans, on certain terms, and that he had no inten-
tion of fraud.
As there are a considerable number of charges
expected to be preferred against the prisoner, and
in the hope that the publicity given to the examina-
don of the prisoner this day will fulther the suds
of justice, he was remanded.

Yesterday John Jacobs, an old clothesman, was
brought up for re-examination charged by Mr. John
Cox, of the Pentonville-road, with the following
robbery :
It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor had
lately returned from the Continent, and having an
old wardrobe, with which he wanted to part, he
called in the prisoner who was crying " old clothes,"
and exhibited various articles of apparel for his in-
spection. After viewing them, he asked the price,
and after a great deal of bantering he demanded 51.
for the lot; the prisoner refused to give it, but ul-
timately agreed to make the purchase, and offered
the prosecutor a 101. note, but, suspectingit to be
a " flash" note, he refused to take any thing but five
sovereigns in gold. The prisoner said he had not
so much gold about him, but he would go and pro-
cure change; and requested Mr. Cox to take five
half-crowns as a deposit, to secure the bargain. Mr.
Cox received the money, and, unsuspectingly re-
turned to his dressing-room, arid commenced shav-
ing himself, when his wife alarmed him by saying
"the Jew has taken the clothes." Mr. Cox imme-
diately came out and missed the articles. In the
course of the same morning he gave information of
the robbery to a city police-officer, whom he ac-
companied to Cutler-street, Rag-fair, where they
discovered the prisoner endeavouring to dispose of
the property, but he had not parted with a single
article.

When the prisoner was placed at the bar yester-
lay, no prosecutor r.ppeared, and
Mr. Serjeant SELLUN was about to discharge the
