said the piece chosen was not with those marked 2s. 6d.

BILLS OP EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES.-THOMAS

V. ERIRE.
This was an action upon a promissory note for £9l2s. 6d.
The note was produced and handed up to his honour, who
remarked upon the form.
Mr. Pearce, of Giltspur-street, for the plaintiff; thought
no objection could be taken to the note. It was regularly
drawn by the giver, and promised to pay a certain period
after date.
His Honour observed that parties should be very careful
how they took bills of exchange and promissory notes
loosely drawn up. In the present case, perhaps, the note
produced was a good one, and plaintiff would recover
upon it.
Mr. Pearce applied for costs, which were granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY,

MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. Hubbert, solicitor, 19, Bucklersbury, applied to the
Lord Mayor for an order to remove a nuisance created by
the Paraphine Company, 17, Bucklersbury, on the ground
that the smell coming from it was a nuisance and injurious
to health, that it was inflammable and highly dangerous to
the neighbouring promises, and on the 28th September last
the premises were all on fire at 10 o'clock at night.
The Lord Mayor in the meantime ordered an inspection
and report before granting any order of removal.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A TOWN TRAVELLER.—
aichard Sillett, a gentlemanly looking men, was charged
before Mr. Bingham, with stealing a quantity of satin and
cloth, the property of his employers, Messrs. Hardy, 126,
New Bond-street, cloth merchants.
A clerk from the office of Mr. Edward Davis attended
for the prisoner, and a large quantity of cloth was pro-
duced in court.
Charles Cole, a detective officer, 317 A, said that about
two the previous day he saw the prisoner leave his em-
ployers' warehouse, 125, New Bond-street, and saw him
enter the King's Arms public-house, Oxford-street, near
North Audley-street. He went into the parlour and called
for some ale, and a pen and ink and paper, and he then
wrote a note, and undid a parcel ho had with him, and did
it up again in a smaller compass and directed it (the namefor
obvious reasons we omit). He, Coles, then asked if he had
• anything particular in the parcel, and he said he had not,
but what business was it to him. He then said it contained
cloth, and that he had bought it of Messrs. Hardy, but
afterwards said ho had not exactly bought it, as he had not
paid for it. He said he was employed at Messrs. Hardy's,
and was going to take it to a customer of the firm, and that
he did not know anything of the writing on the parcel.
On taking him into custody he found in his pockets the bill,
which bore the same name as the parcel, and £4 and a
watch. On searching his lodgings, 8, Albion-terrace,
Dalston, he found several pieces if cloth, satin, &c.
Mr. George Hardy, son of the prosecutor, said the pri-
soner had a salary of £l5O a year, and had no business to
take any cloth from the premises, except as patterns. He
believed their loss would prove very serious indeed.
A witness named Thomas Newton proved seeing the
prisoner cutting some pieces of cloth off rolls.
Remanded.

THAMES.
AN HONEST MAN.—Thomas Towns, a labourer, of
Shadwell, waited upon Mr. Selfe and stated
that he had picked up a parcel containing gold in the neigh-
bourhood of Whitechapel. The sum was not large, and it
was probable some poor man had dropped the parcel, whioh
he begged to hand to the magistrate for safe keeping, and
he hoped the finding of it would be made known that the
owner might be able to recover his treasure.
The police officers in attendance said that Towns was a
very respectable and honest man.

Mr. Selfe took charge of the parcel, and said if the re-
porters who represented the public press would make known
that he had such a parcel in his possession it might to
the discovery of the same. On a proper description of the
parcel, and the amount of gold contained in it, he would
restore it to the owner.
