POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

B 0 &TR EB T.
Yesterday, a man named William Lozall was
charged with fraudulently obtaining divers sums of
money and a suit of clothes from Mr. Thomas Bat-
.on, a master tailor, residing in Great,Ormand-yard,
Bloomsbury, and also with obtaining sums of .
money from Miss Batton, the . sister of Mr.
Baton, under false pretences. The 'prisoner is
about 35 years of age, powerful and muscular,
but not very preposessing in appearance. Ac-
cording to the statement of the prosecutor and his
sister, it appeared that, in October last, the prisoner
was travelling by an Essex coach towards London,
and Miss Batton, who had been on a visit to some
relations in Essex, happened, unfortunately, to be a
fellow-traveller. He introduced himself to her by
paying her some attentions, and took an opportunity
of informing her of the recent death of a "beloved
wife," and that he was coming to London to draw
from the Bank of England between one and two
thousand pounds. On his arrival in London he bid
her adieu, and hoped to have the pleasure of seeing
her brother at the inn where he put up. An inter-
view took place between the prisoner and Mr. Bat-
ton, her brother, when he expressed his attachment
to his sister, and was invited to Mr. Batton's house.
He there engaged a lodging, and after dwelling there
a short time, he formally declared himself the lover
of Miss Batten, and after some weeks had elapsed, he
went with her to the Bank of England to draw the
money. He kept her waiting while he went into some
of the offices, and on his return made some excuse for
not being able to get the money, which he said
would be paid in a very short time. He obtained,
by false pretences, about 11/. from her brother, and
between two and three pounds from the young
woman. lie next produced a forged letter, which,
he said, had been written to him by his Solicitor
(hut which was written by a young man at the
Coach and Horses public-house, in Little Drury-
lane), which stated that the sum of 1201. had been
paid, on his account, into his (the Solicitor's)
hands. He also stated that he had four hundred
acres of freehold land at Rochford, in Essex, and,
by these false pretences, he obtained the confidence
of his dupes. Mr. Batton said he had been to
Rochford, and he found that the prisoner had a wife
arid three children living there, and he had swindled
everybody there that he could. So notorious was
he in that part of the country that he had been
named " .Tack Ketch." If the prisoner were re-
manded, other charges would be brought against
lain. Miss Batton, who is a good-looking woman,
about 25 years of age, fainted during the examina,
tion, and was carried out of the office into the air.

Mr. Batton said that the prisoner had named the
marriage day, and on the Saturday preceding the
Monday when the wedding was to have taken place.
he feigned illness, and sent for his (Mr. Batton's)
surgeon, and the celebration of the nuptials was post-
poned. When the prisoner got bettei., he left the
house to take a walk (as he said), but did not return.
Mr. HALLS said that the prisoner having obtained
money from the young woman, under the false pre-
tence that he was a single man, and would marry
her, was guilty of a fraud.

A Solicitor said, that if the prisoner was remanded,
other charges of fraud would be brought against him,
and Mr. Halls remanded him for one week.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the Lonrtnt New Price Current of yesterday.)
Suaaas.-The supplies of new Sugars. this weak have

has been a great increase of business this week; the prices
have also improved ; the demand has, been chiefly for low
goods and for crashed. This evening large and small
Lumps and ord. Loaves may be stated to have advanced
s. a 2s. since the end of last week, and the market being
without any stock of the above descriptions, the present
quotations are likely to be maintained ; the purchases
were made chiefly for Hamburg; in finer goods, entitled
to the double refined bounty, nothing has been done for
the Mediterranean, but some parcels of good Loaves have
been packed for the Baltic from 355. a 365., being also
rather higher than could have been obtained last week.

FOREIGN SUGARS..-. 411 the absence of public sales, and
hut very trilling transactions by private contract, our quo-

Market, however, remains firm. The arrivals this week
bring 2,991 boxes Haydn:lab, and 662 casks Brazil.
COFFEE.-The market for British Plantation Coffee,
though more firm, continues to attract but little attention,
and the business done is extremely limited. In Foreign
and East India also there is nothing of any moment to
notice; prices, however, remain steady. The public
sales this week consisted of 485 casks British Plantation,
611 hls. 110 rohbins Mocha, and 275 bags Sumatra; of
the first only a part was sold at the following prices :-

quiry for Rum, and some parcels of Leewards have been
sold at prices which were not previously attainable. In
Brandy or Geneva there is rather more firmness. This
'evening some sales of Leewards, 5 and 7 over, mid. quality,

casks, 126 skins, 6 es. Tallow, 40s. 495. 3d., all sold.
PRovisioNs.-The price of Foreign Butter at
the quay continues as last quoted, but Irish Butter has
been sold at somewhat lower prices ; however there are
very few sales making : the cheesemongers wall not go
into purchases at any thing like present rates for ship-
ment. For Bacon landed there is a moderate sale, but for
it, or fur any other article under this head, we canno
alter our Last quotations.

pared of low Virginia for export, abut 24d., and a
small lot of Kentucky.

•
TEA.—The Prompt to-day is not very heavy in black
Teas. The Market is more firm in Congous, and Boheas
Continue in demand.

SPICES.—The request for Pepper continues; the late
reduction in the prices of Pimento appears to have at-
rracti d the attention of the buyers; there is more demand.

h,g., which sold, according to their diflirent refractions,
iron] 235. 6d. a SOA. ; the business doing in rough is
