,S'igisinund Sacks, a German, about thirty years of
age, respectably dressed, and wearing silver spec-
tacles, was charged with having obtained surgical
instruments, value 351. from Mr. Heather, of Bed-
ford-court, Covent-garden, under false pretences.
The defendant, on being placed at the bar, appeared
greatly agitated, and endeavoured to hide his face.
Mr. Heather deposed that he is a surgical-instru-
ment-maker; on the B.h of March the defendant
came to his shop, and stated that he was a medicAl
student just arrived from Germany, and wanted to
purchase several articles to send to a friend at Ham-
burg; he selected instruments to the value of 351.,
which he desired might be put by for him, and he
should call for them the next morning. Witness
saw no more of him till he was brought to his shop
yesterday.
iThe defendant said nothing in answer to the evi-
dence.

Mr. HALLS, after looking at:the bill of parcels,
said he was of opinion that no charge had been made
out against the defendant on which he could detain
him. That a gross fraud had been practised, there
could be no doubt ; but the party giving a bill of
parcels for the goods converted it into a debt.
The defendant was then discharged, and disap-
peared with a celerity that shewed he apprehended,
had he delayed, further detention.
Another bookseller, and a surgical instrument
maker, stated that they had suffered by the defendant
in the same way, but had given bills of parcels.
About a fortnight ago, two boys, named Raines
and Bigg, sons of respectable salesmen in Covent-
Garden, were playing at shuttlecock, when an Irish
boy, named Duggan, who came near Bigg, received
a blow from his battledore on the eye, by which he
was stunned. The wound was dressed, and the
boy was seen in the market for some days after.
The blow was received on Tuesday, and on the

Friday following he was taken ill, and died that
night. The parents immediately accused the boy
Bigg of having murdered their child, and he was
brought to Bow-street, where Mr.MlNsituu'refused
to entertain the charge till after the verdict of the Co-
roner's Inquest was known. At the inquest five
medical men were examined, and the Jury returned a
verdict, " That the deceased died a natural death
from cholera morbus." The boy's mother, how-
ever, was not satisfied with this verdic., and went to
Marlborough-street office, where she made such
statements of the case, and the evidence she had to
produce that was not produced to the Coroner's
Jury, as induced Mr. Conant to write to Mr. Halls,
stating his opinion that an investigation ought to
take place, and that if the Bow-street Magistrates
refused it, he should deem it his duty to investigate
the charge himself.
Mr. MINSHULL, in consequence, has appointed
to-day for a full investigation of the charge, and five
surgeons and fifteen other witnesses are summoned
on the inquiry.
HATTON-GARDEN.

Mr. Edwards, livery-stable keeper, of Long-yard,
Limb's Conduit-street, was summoned by an in-
former name Stapylton, for not having the words
" L;censed to let horses for hire" painted on a con-
spicuous part of his premises.
Mr. Edwards said he had the words " Licensed
to let job horses for hire."
Mr. LAING told him that the word" job" must be
left out, or he would be liable to be fined every day.
The defendant was then fined If. .55., being the
lowest penalty.
