FRAUD UPON THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR BY A.
POLE —Yesterday a Pole, who gave his name and tyl-
dress Adolphus Czapiiiiski, 10, Robert. street, Lambeth,
was pisc:d a,S tho bar before Mr. Broughton, charged
with having, under fsls.:?, protenccs, obtained three gui-
neas from the Turkish Embassy, No, 1, Bryansion-
square. . _ _

Delaur Effendi, an Attael t to the Embassy, deposed
that on the 16:h ult. he first saw the prisoner, who then
presented to him a paper, which was a claim for six
guineas for six tickets for the Polish ball, held on the
14th ult., at Guildhall, under the auspices of Lord Dudley
Stuart. Witness returned to him the said paper, telling
him it was a mistake, as there were only three tickers
taken, and he then went away. On the 18th ult he again
wide his appearance with a v‘rittcn derrand for thre:r
guineas, and witness gave him a cheque in the name of
the Consul for that arnaunt upon Martin, Stone, and Co;
he was asked to give a receipt, bat he remarked that
there war no m-eessity f..r his doing' so, as the paper pre-
sented by him bora his sighL.ture, which was quite suffi-
cient. Thu paper alludtd to was hero produced and
handed to the mrkistratt ; the name appended thereto,
and which wes read by Mr.. Broughtun, did not reach
the ear of our repro ter.
Lieut. Chard, s Szalczewalc;, secretary to the " Literary
Association ef the Frien,'.s c,l Poland," and who residos
in Stli:kX Chambers, Duke-strei t, St. James's, deposed
to his having supplied the E...uh,rssy with three ball
tickets, in aid of the Polish refugees resident in this
country. They were delivered at the mansion of his
Excellency at least a week before the ball took place. In
a week or ten days afterwards witness sent a letter to
the Ea.bassy requesting payment of the three guineas,
and be received a reply that the sum had already been
paid.

In answer to Mr. BROUGHTON, as to how ho found
out that the prisoner was the guilty party,
Witness said that a few days ago a letter was written
to Mrs. Milner Gibson by a Pole, who solicited assist-
ance at her hands. This letter was sent to witness, in
order that he, as secretary, might look into the matter
thoroughly, and, after a prcconcerted arrangement, he
(witness) took him from the residence of Mrs. Milner
Gibson, upon whom he had called, t ) the Turkish Em-
bassy, when he was there charged with the fraud, and he
admitted his guilt. He was then given into the custody
of police-constable Robertson, 517 A.
Lieutenant Szulczewski, the secretary, said that all
that he knew of the prisoner was this:—He had been
many years in this country, and received money as a
Polish refugee; but in 1838, at the r( quest of a commit-
tee of his countrymen, his name was removed from the
list for misconduct, and his allowance of course ceased.
Prisoner was not in any way in the employ of the so
ciety, nor had he any right to collect money for tickets
for the Uuildhall ball.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, made a
rambling and strange defence, to the effect that he met
another Pole, who gave to him the paper, and on his
receiving the three palm-as he had 11. 3s. far himself, the
other party receiving tLe 21. He (prisoner) admitted
that he had acted wrong, and expres,,ccl his sorrow for
whit he had done.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that the offence was one of a
very serious description, and that the prisoner must go
before a jury. He might bo brought up again next
Monday, and will then be committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.

Richard Green, a private in the 2d battalion of Cold-
stream Guards, was charged with the following ruffianly
conduct:—

Mrs. Diana West, an elderly widow lady, residing at
103, Warwick-street, Vauxhall Bridge-road, stated that
on her return towards home from attending Divine
service at Westminiter Ahhey, at about half-past four
on the previous af:ernoon, she was abc'ut to enter the
Birdcage-walk, St. James's Park, from Queen-square,
when she was met by a soldier, to the boat of her belief
tho defendant, who seizod hold of her, hugged her
tightly, and said she was the person who had appointed
to meet him there. Complainant called out, "Police!"
and tried to free herself from his grasp. She pushed
him from her and bee went away, but in doing so he
pulled her shawl so vi,lently that he took the greater
part of it away, leaving a portion of it round her neck.
He then took to his heels. and she saw him enter Queen-
square with the piece of her shawl in his hand. She
was, however, Lfraid to follow him.
Edward Pringle, sergeant of the 2d battalion of Cold-
stream Guards, stated that he was conversing with
another sergeant at half-past nine on the previous night
at the barracks, when the defendant entered his room
with a parcel under his aim. Witness fullowed him
and desired him to show the contents of the parcel,
but he refused, stating that it belonged to Thomas
Flemming, a comrade, and that he should not give it
up to any one but him. Soon after this he opened
the handkerchief, which contained the greater portion of
a shawl.

Thomas Flemming was called, and stated that he
knew nothing whatever about the shawl. At a little
before five on the previous evening he saw the coin
plainant near Queen- equare-gate, who mentioned to hi&
what had occurred.

Mrs. West recognised the last witness as the person
to whom she complained of defendant's conduct almost
immediately after the occurrence,wben he said he would
make every inquiry he could about the matter for her,
and she gave him her address. The lady identified the
piece of shawl produe6d as part of the one she wore
when attacked as above ►iescribed.

Mr. CRODERIP asked defendant what he had to say ?
Defendant—l never saw the lady before now in my
life.

Mr. BRODERIP —llO W do you account for the pos-
sesl/4ion of the srawl? Defendant—l was going home
whea a girl gave it rce to give to Flemming.
Mr. BRODERIP —What is Ler name? Defendant
(confusedly )—I don't know. I never saw her before.
Mr. BRODERIP inquired of the lady whether she
wished if .e case to be sent, to the sessions, or was de-
sirous that he should dispose of it summarily?
Mrs. West replied that she wished the magistrate to
deal with the accused for the assault only, as it was her
belief t hat the prisoner was under the influence of
1 quor at the time he attaced her, and he might not
have intended to steal the shawl.
Mr. BRODERIP observed that the act the defendant
had committed was of a most ruffianly nature. The
complaicant bad left the matter in his hands to dispose
of, and he felt that he should be wanting in his duty to
the public unless he inflicted the fullest punishment in
his power, and he should therefore fine defendant 51., and
fn default commit him for two months to the House of
Correction.

The worthy Magistrate complimented the soldier,
Flemming, upon his very proper conduct in the trans-
action.

W OR SHIP-STREET.

CAPTURE OF BURGLARS —James Cornish and James

Welsh, two determined•looking fellows of most notorious
character, and Jane Welsh, the wife of the last-named
prisoner, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold,
charged with having bens concerned in burglariously
breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. John Pitmen,
a stockbroker, residing in Grove-place, Hackney, and
stealing a large quantity of plate and other valuable
property.
The prosecutor stated that, at an early hour on the
preceding morning, he was tilled up by one of his ser-
vants, who apprised him that the lower pin of the house
bad been ransacked by thieves, who had effected an en-
trance through the back kitchen window, and upon
examining the place he discovered that a quantity of
plate and wearing apparel, and verious other articles,
had been carried off. He identified the silver toast-rack
and the knives and forks, now produced by the police, as
a portion of the stolen property.
Sergeant Kelly, of the H division, stated that having
been furnished with the particulars count cted with an
extensive robbery, which was effected by means of ske-
leton keys, at a manufactory in Old Montague-street,
Spitalfields, on the night of the perpetration of the
burglary at the prosecutor's residence, suspecting that
the prisoner Cornish, who was one of the most expert
" cracksmen" in the metropolis, had been implicated in
the transaction, he proceeded to his lodging, whore he
was admitted by a woman who had nothing on but her
night-dress, but who instantly darted into the street and
effected her escape, and he made his way to one of the
upper rooms, in which he found the prisoner in bed.
Having communicated to him the nature of his business
he proceeded to search the apartment, in which he found
the silver toast-rack and several knives and forks, which
the prosecutor had since identified, and intimated to the
prisoner that he should take him into custody for having
the articles in his possession. The prisoner thereupon
requested him to order the constable who accompanied
him to leave the room, and as soon as the latter had done
so he approached him in a confideutial manner, and ex-
claimed—" This is sure to be a ten years' job, and no
mistake; but as there aro others in it besides me, I'm
blessed if I get lagged for thew, so you just cut away to
old Barijo's, in Hesnage-street, and there you'll find lots
more of the swag." The prisoner was then conveyed
to the station-house, and witness subsequently repaired
to the place he had indicated, accompanied by two
other officers, named Barnes and Green, and having ob-
tained admittance by an ingenious stratagem, they entered
a sleeping apartment occupied by the prisoners Welsh,
both of whom were at once secured, and, on searching
the room they discovered a number of silver spoons, I
knives, and forks, and other articles, which also formed
a portion of the stolen property, They also found a
formidable life-preserver, hung at the head of the bed,
within reach of the prisoner's hand, but which they se-
cured before ho had time to get hold of it, together
with numerous housebreaking implonsents, and nearly 20
duplicates relating to watches, rings, and other valuables,
which they had every reasun to believe were the produce
of other robberies.

The prisoners declined offering any ih.rence, and were
ordered to be remanded for the formal completion of the
depositions. .

Cfonin, residing at 2, Providence-place, Millwall, pre-
