UNION-HALL.

Yesterday, George Hussey, a tall thin man, of
dark complexion, and dressed in deep mourning, was
brought before Mr. MURRAY, on an alleged charge
of attempting to obtain contributions by fraudulent
pretences.

• Mrs. Cradock, a lady residing at Denmark-hill,
Ctunberwell, stated, that on the 17th ult. the pri-
soner called at her house, and, on presenting his
card to the servant, was shown up stairs to the
drawing-room. Witness, on being informed that
the gentleman who delivered his card was then
waiting for an interview, descended from her
dressing-room, and on her entrance into the draw-
ingsroom, saw the prisoner standing near the side-
board, on which there were several articles of plate.
Not at all prepossessed in favour of the appearance
of the stranger, Mrs. Cradock asked him the ob-
ject of his visit, previously having cast her eye
over the plate, to see that none was taken. In
reply to the question, the prisoner said, that he
had taken the liberty of calling upon her to solicit
charity, on behalf of the widow of a naval officer,
who died of cholera in the Borough Compter. He
was about to produce a large packet of papers for
Mrs. Cradock's perusal, but that lady, apprehensive
that imposition was intended to be practised upon
her, declined contributing, unless the application
was made by some individual of whom she had
some knowledge, and not by a perfect stranger,
The prisoner then said that he was a surgeon, and
that he attended the husband of the widow on whose
behalf he applied for charity, from the time he was
first taken ill of the prevailing epidemic until it
carried him off. The witness, however, refused to
extend her aid on the occasion, upon the grounds al-
ready stated, and the prisoner left the house reluc-
tantly, expressing a desire that the documents he
had in his possession might be examined, to bear out
his statement relative to the distressed condition of
the widow. Mrs. Cradock added, that she cau-
tioned some of the families residing in her immediate
neighbourhood subsequently to the application made
to her by the prisoner.
In reply to the Magistrate, she said that she gave
him no money.
Mrs. Harby, who resides at Dulwich-hill, stated,
that on Monday the prisoner called at her house,
during her absence, and left his card, saying that he
should do himself the honour of waiting upon her
the next day. Mrs. Harby, having been previously
informed by the last witness of his visit to her resi-
dence, gave information of the fact to a policeman,
with the view of ascertaining who and what the
prisoner really was. Yesterday at the appointed
time the prisoner called on Mrs. Harby, and having
described himself as a surgeon, said that the object
of his visit was to solicit a small contribution for
the widow of a Lieutenant Bailey, who died of cho-
lera in gaol, and whom he attended professionally
until his decease. Witness, recollecting the caution
she had received from Mrs. Cradock with respect
to the prisoner, had him taken into custody. Mrs.
Harby added, that the prisoner had called at the
houses of several gentlemen in and about Camber-
well, at some of which she was given to under-
stand he had received money.
In reply to the Magistrate, the witness said, that
to the best of her recollection, the prisoner solicited
relief for the widow, and also the children of an
officer.

A policeman took charge of the prisoner, and
found the papers now produced in his possession.
The MAGISTRATE was ready to hear the prisoner
give An account of the party for whom he went
about soliciting contributions. Previously, however,
he should like to know something about himself.
The prisoner was by profession a surgeon, and
had called at the Borough Compter during the time
Lieutenant Bailey was attacked with cholera, and
had died of the disease. This was on the 22d of
July, and subsequently to his death, owing to the
distressed state of the widow, he (the prisoner) not
only inserted an advertisement in a newspaper de-
scribi rig the condition in which she was left, but he
also used his own personal exertions in endeavouring
to obtain contributions for her. He only succeeded
to a small extent, the advertisement being very un-
productive, and the other sums received by him
being to an inconsiderable amount.

Mr. MURRAY asked the prisoner what he had re-
ceived on behalf of the widow? Prisoner—l can't
exactly state, but ail that was received through the
medium of the advertisement was one guinea. I
received 5/. and some small sums, which are de-
posited in the bank of Messrs. Martin and Stone, of
Lombard-street, who had, undertaken to receive
subscriptions on behalf of the widow. " I can as-
sure you, Mr. Murray," added the prisoner, "that
I had no other motive in view than in serving the
widow."

Mr. MURRAY said that the prisoner seemed well
acquainted with his name, and should like to know
what means he had of knowing it so well.
Prisoner—l merely asked, for the sake of infor-
mation, who was the Magistrate that I was to be
brought before, and was told that you were the gen-
tleman.
Mr. MURRAY asked the prisoner if he had not
called at the office of the Ecclesiastical Court in
Scotland-yard, some time ago, and in an interview
with a high dignitary of the church described him-
self as a clergyman. He (the Magistrate) recollected
having seen the accused at the office in Scotland-
yard, and also having heard that he called there for
a very extraordinary purpose.
Prisoner—l am the person who called in Scot-
land-yard, and had an interview with a dignitary of
the church, but I did not state that I was a clergy-
man; that I certainly must deny. I said that I was
a surgeon.
Mr. MURRAY said, that the circumstance of the
prisoner's admission that he had been at Scotland-
yard plainly showed that he must have been aware
of his name without asking it of the_ policeman.
The Magistrate then looked over the papers found
in the prisoner's posse,sion, and said that some of
them were memorials addressed to different high
personages on subjects unconnected altogether with
the subscription which he asserted he was receiving
on
nr the benefit
a systematicbenefitofthe widow. This fact (added the
Magistrate) plainly indicates that he has been going
on the public.
The prisoner said that
gave her. the whole
was in attendance.
This drew from the prisoner a very extraordinary
remark, namely, that Lieutenant Bailey's widow

was his (prisoner's) mother-in-law, and that he had
concealed the fact until now, owing to reasons
which he could not then enter into.
Mr. MURRAY said that the admission the prisoner
had just made brought him under the operation of
the Act for unlawfully attempting to obtain contri-
butions. Although he described to the ladies upon
whom he called that he was the surgeon who attend-
ed the deceased in gaol, it now turned out that Mr.
Wadd, the surgeon of the prison, was the person.

Independently of this fad, he was the son-in-law
of the person on whose behalf he applied, and the •
circumstance of other letters beirg found in his pos-
session, relating to other rransitctions of a similar
nature, called upon him (the Magistrate) to tho•
roughly investigate the case ; and he considered that
be should be guilty of a dereliction of duty to the
public if he did not remand him for a further exa-
mination.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London ..N'ent Price Current of yestorday.)
SUGAR. —The Sugar market last week was very steady;
the estimated purchases were 3,500 hhds. and tre. ; no
alteration in the price can be stated. The stock of West
India Sugar is now 38,773 hhds. and trs., which is 11 242
less t' an last year. The stock of Mauritius is 50.296 bags,
firing 59,776 less than last year. The delivery of West India

corresponding week of 1831. This day the market has '
been steady ; the estimated sales are only 800 hhds, and
trs. ; the prices are unvaried. Towards the close of last
\rut]: the Refined M trket b.came particularly heavy, not-
withstanding the reduced stook: brown Lumps must be
stated at a small decline, and small Lumps 61. to Is,
lower; fins goods are also at a small reduction, fine crashed
325, and 325. Od. Tils afternoon the market is very
dull, and the prices again lower. Lumps are quoted
635. 6d., but there are no buyers.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-There were more inquiries fot
Siam and Bengal Sugars last week, but the actual Or-
chases w< re quite inconsiderable.

week %vas confined to small parcels by private contract at
very full prices. This day's public tale 776 bags Manri•
taus sold at steady Market prices.
FOKEIGN SUGARs.-Fard4ri Sugars are still very
heavy : some good white savannah by private contract
sold for 355., yellow 254. 6d. a 275. By public sale on •
Frid iy last 163 chests Bahia, were offered, hut they were
all taken in, there be;ng no buyers, and afford no criterion
of the rtlarket rates. Average price of Sugar 1/. Be. Old.
per cwt.

COFFEE.-The accounts from all the Continental
Plat kets last week state still lower prices and heavy trade,
with increasing stocks ; the consequence hag been nearly a
stagnation of demand for export; 2,429 bags good ordi-
nary Brazil were withdrawn at 60s. ; about 1,900 bags
Ceylon taken in at 555. and 545. 6d. ; Havannah, good
to fine ordinary 58s. a 60s. The British PI rotation
de-
scriptions went off at a depression of 2s. a 3s. early in last
week, but the inquiries have since increased, and the
Market is only Is. to 2s. lower than on Tuesday last,
good ordinary '76s. a 775. and fine ordinary 78s. a 805•
This day's sale 151 casks British Plantation, 801 bags
Ceylon Coffee ; the latter sold 535. 6d. and 51s. which is
Is. lower; a large proportion of the British Plantation
was taken in, the prices must be quoted Is. a Is. 6d.
lower, and a v,,ry heavy Market.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS -The Rum Market
continues very doll, proof Leewards offer about Is. 7d.,
few buyers, and in Jamaica there are few sales. Brandy
is still firm, and the home consumption is still increasing.
Geneva is without inquiry.
bust' PRovistoNs.-In the last week the import of
Foreign Butter was 5,813 casks-of Irish 2,007 firkins,
and of Bacon 1,425 bales. Fine Friesland butter at the
quay we may quote 84s. a 86s. per cwt., and the sale for
ail descriptions of Irish is very Fruited at the following
prices :-Limerick 76e. a 775. on hoard, 795. landed ;
Belfast 77-. on hoard, 795. a 80s. landed ; Waterford 745.
a 775. on hoard, 745. a 785. landed ; Carlow 78s. a 80,
o❑ hoard, 801. a 82s. landed; Dublin 74a. on board, 765.
landed ; andNewry 71s. a 729. on board, 745. landed.
There being some speculative operations in Cork Butter
the holders are asking 7Ss. on board, and 80s. landed, but
very few (if any) sales effecting. Bacon is gradually de-
clining in value; the primest new singed cannot be quoted
over 525. a 51%, nor old over 489. a 50s. landed ; for im-
mediate shipment there are many sellers of Waterford at
501. on hoard, and for November and December shipment
at 41.5. on board. Bale Middles are a heavy sale at 41a-
a 465., and Tierce Middles at 445. a 475. Bladder lard
as to quality we quote 565. a 625., and Hams 565. a 745•
as to weight, &c. In 112ef and Pork very little bnsi-
nes, doing.

sold a, 6/. Hops will be of fine quality, but it is sup-
posed there will be a deficiency in quantity. The esti-
mated duty is to-day 145,000/.

chases since our last consist of 600 Madras, sd. a 5 d. ;

900 Bengal, public sale, 4id. a 5d.; 900 Surat, 4id. I
("0. ; 700 ditto, 4i-d. a 444.
INDIGO. —There is no alteration in Indigo.

Woor..—The stock of Wool in this market is union-
slly low. We have lately arrivAls from Australia of about
3,000 bales, of which about 1,700 have I itely been mead
with great briskness about an average of 20d. per lb. 20/.
per bale. It is rather remarkable that within three months
ti:e price of Wool has advanced about 15 per cent., and
the price of cloth has fallen within the same period about
five per cent.
SAI TPETRE.—The Market is firm, but there is little
business doing-.

SPICES There is little variation in the demand for
Spice. This day's sale 66 bags Pimento sold rather lower.
Oms.—Gallipoli, owing to the recent export frog)
hence, Liverpool, and Hull, is becoming scarce, though
our home demand is dull ; holders generally refuse to sell
at present prices. Sperm Oil lamer. Linseed and Rape
Oil remain the same as last week.
