NO TTINGHAM, TUESDAY.
This morning a, for-3igner, who represented him-'
self as Baron Zychlinski, was brought before the'
sitting magistrates at the police-office, charged
with obtaining £4OO by false pretences from the.
Rev. Henry Maltby, formerly of Nottingham.
Mr. Hugh Bruce Campbell, solicitor, appeared
for the prosecution, and stated that on the 18th
September last, the prisoner arrived at the Flying
Horse Hotel, Nottingham, 'accompanied by his
courier. The Rev. Henry Maltby, his brother,
and brother's wife were staying at the same hotel..
Mr. Maltby and family had previously been stay-
ing at Bedford, from which place they were fol.—
lowed to Nottingham by the prisoner. While at
the Flying Horse the prisoner stated, through his
interpreter, that he was honourably attached to
the prosecutor's eldest daughter, who was then at
Myer with her mother, and solicited from Mr.
Maltby' his daughter in marriage. He represented
himself to be the Baron Zychlinski, son and heir-
at-law of Ccunt Zychiinski, of Zychlin near War-
saw. He also stated that he was captain of cavalry
in the Prussian service. He then said that he had
Leiriended the wife of the rev, gentleman, when
she was staying in Rome and suffering from pecu-
niary difficulties, and also that he possessed her
written acknowledgments for what he had advanced.
The repayment of the money, he said, was only a
secondary consideration, as compared with being
able to satisfy his family of the respectability of
the Maltbys, in order that he may get the consent
of his own family to take Miss Maltby in marriage.
These representations made a strong impression on
the prosecutor, who thought he had said enough
to induce him to repay the money said to have
been advanced, if Mr. Campbell, his solicitor (who
was present at the time) was satisfied about the
matter. The prisoner then showed Mr. Campbell
a number of documents, passports, &c., which re-
presented hirn to be what he had stated. He
also produced documents said to have been
received from his advocate, instructing the
baron to commence an action against the
prcsecutor for the recovery of the money said to
have been advanced to his wife when in Rome. The
prisoner showed bills and receipts from Mrs. Maltby
amounting to £4OO, said to have been received front
the prisoner. He pressed for immediate payment,
as he wished to leave the town that afternoon for
Germany. Mr. Campbell then took the prisoner to
Messrs. Wrights' bank, and gave him a draft for
the money. Before he left Nottingham prosecutor
gave his consent for the prisoner's marriage with
his daughter, which was arranged to take place at
Dover, and which was consummated. Soon after
the marriage, however, an inquiry was made as to
tile position of the prisoner, and he was found to be
an impostor, being, in fact, a deserter from the
Prussian service, where he had been serving as a
private soldier. Upon the prisoner's character be-
coming known the prosecutor took his daughter
away from him, and he had not been seen for some
time until yesterday morning, when, calling at Mr.
Campbell's office, he was immediately apprehended.
After hearing the above extraordinary statement
the prisoner was remanded for a week, and pro-
ceedings are being commenced for a divorce.
