'the elan+ will'est of a coal porter, who, however, would have
pt. tiding to do with him ; and the policeman, thinking that,
if left to himself, he would be eased of his bank•notes by
some of the thieves in the neighbourhood, took him to the
statinti4iouse. The account which he gave of himself was,
that he bad arrived in London the day before from Dayntom
in Gloucestershire, intending to purchase the discharge of'
his brother from the Fusileer Guards. Being brought be-
fat Mr. Dyer at this office on Wednesday, he mentioned
the bailie of an attorney residing in Dean-street, Soho,. who
he said *a§ his relative, and the Magistrate directed that
an °filter should accompany him thither, and deliver him
into the care of his friends if his statement was found td be
correct. One of the inspectors of the U division, named
Beale) went with him accordingly in a coach for that
Fi4iiscet
bOW appeared, however, that the prisoner and the in-
spector never reached Soho. They stopped to, dipe at, a
public-house by tiff *ity; alid the ijrisiltid eagilived,
relating his adventilres byfidod and field; to intoxicate the
Inspector, while he himself 'remained sillier; The 51. note

#etier afterwards insisted on having the rest of the money
returned to him without further inquiry, which :however,
the inspector strenuously resisted. Mr. May, the superin-
tendent of the A, lit Whitehall division ofpolice,l'otincl them
Charing-cross, in altercation of the neighbourhood of and
after some inquiry he sent some of his own officers with
them back to Spitalfields, where the prisoner was locked
up, and the inspector sent to his home, with orders that he
should appear before the commissioners of police at White-
hall for inquiry into his conduct.
Inspector Mullins produced a number of The Hue and
Cry, which described " George Evans" as having deserted
in February, 1832, from the 3d battalion of Fusileer
Guards, then stationed in London.

The prisoner admitted to the magistrate that be was the
person described, and in reply to a question put to him, said
that his father was a farmer in Daynton, in Gloucestershire,
and that he had been brought up as a surveyor, but en-
listed as a soldier, and having been betrayed into a breach
of military discipline by drunkenness, deserted three• years
ago, as already stated. He had since been in different
parts of the country practising in his profession, and having
at length returned home to Daynton, he received 301.
from his father, with which he came up to London, with
the intention of surrendering, and buying his discharge
from the army.
Mr. BROUGHTON, after some further inquiries, commit-
ted the prisoner to the House of Correction as a deserter,
and directed an account of the occurrence to be transmitted
to the Secretary at War.
