GUILDHALL.—CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.
Jean Baptists Vavaseur, a tall and r!spectably
dressed foreigner, wi' h black whiskers and mous-
taphes and gray hair, described on the police sheet
as a coram;ssion agent, carrying on business at 22,
Harp-lane, Tower-street, was placed at the bar be-
fore Alderman Hale, charged with conspiring with
a man named .Riviere to obtain six pieces of alpaca,
value 241., and other goods to a lirge amount,' with
intent to defraud Messrs. Milligan Son, and Co.,
stuff merchants, of Newgate-street, London, and
Bradford, in Yorkshire.

Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the prosecution,
and said the charge against the prisoner was for
conspiring with otherpersons not in custody to de-
fraud Messrs. Milligan of a large quantity of goods,
a portion of which were obtained, and immediately
after disposed of to a pawnbroker, whose name the
prisoner had given as one of his referees.
Alfred Dowson said—l am in the employ of
Messrs. Milligan and Son, of 38, Newgate-
street. The prisoner came to our warehouse
on Teesday - morning last, and said he
wanted some goods to send off to Belgium.
He selected 14 pieces of black alpaca lustre, value
491., and asked me if our terms were one month's
creit. I told him they were for cash. He did
not take any goods with him then, but on the fol-
lowing morning a person of the name of Riviera
came from the prisoner for the goods. I told him
I could not send them then, and asked him how
I much he wanted, upon which he said he would go
back and inquire of the prisoner.
Witness—The prisoner came again yeAerdly
afternoon about three o'clock, but having received
instructions-how to act, I locked the door, and put
the key in my pocket, and then showed the pri-
soner a large quantity of goods with ihe view to de-
tain him until one of the principals came in.
Mr. George Davis, an. auctioneer and estate
agent, of 6, Little Newport-street, said, on Satur-
day last the prisoner cane to me and said he had
bought a large quantity of goods for b lls of ex-
change, and that he should Want advances upon
them ; and on Wednesday last he came again
in a cab, and said a friend of his, named
Riviere, who was waiting in the cab, had six pieces
of alpaca, upon which he wanted an advance of 161.
or 171. I toll him I could not make any advance
upon. them, and offered to take him to At-
t'nborongh's, in Greek-street; Soho. We accord-
ingly went there in the cab, and I saw the prisoner
carry the six pieces of alpaca froin the cab into At-
tenborough's shop, where he obtained an advance
of 141., and, after paying the cabman, the prisoner
walked away with Riviere. I asked the prisoner if
it was an upright transaction, and he said the goods
had been purchased for bills, arid offered to show
me the invoices.
Alderman Hale—What is the value of the six
delivered pieces
a t 2
alpaca 2, ?
'
Mr. Lewis—About 241. sir, and they were
pledged for 141. within two hours after they were
Harp-lane.
Witness—l gave the prisoner no authority to re-
fer to me as to his respectability, although I had
had several transactions with him on behalf of other
foreigners.
The
prisoner was remanded to Newgate for a
week.
