POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
Edward Wright, the keeper of one of the /nume-
rous sham agency offices in differentlparts of the me-
tropolis, under the pretence of procuring young men
situations as clerks, &c., through the medium of
newspaper advertisements, was brought up, charged,
with being concerned with Sparkes and Stanley (alias
Nixon), at present under remand, in fraudulently ob-
taining from James Hoare the sum of 201, and also
from Alfred Savage a further sum of 51., in the month
of February last.
The first•named person stated that he was by trade
a shoemaker, and answered an advertisement which
appeared in the Morning Advertiser on the 24th of
January, requiring a messenger and collector to a
shipping and emigration office, at 16, Upper Welling-
ton-street, Strand, where he called, and saw the pri-
soner in company with Stanley, who was acting in
the capacity of clerk, and having inquired what was
to be his employment, was informed by the prisoner
that he would acquaint him in a few days, being
perfectly satisfied of his competency to fill
such a situation, but that the sum of 201.
would be required as a security, as certain
sums of money would daily pass through his hands ;
upon which he entered into an agreement, which
was signed by them, and paid a deposit of Si. in the
presence of Stanley, for which he got a receipt from
the prisoner. After he had paid him the remaining
151., on the 7th of February, witness was to receive
245. a week as a salary, and the deposit money was to
be paid to him after he had given a written notice to
quit the service. He entered the service on the 4th
of February, before the deposit was paid and previous
to the signing of the agreement, such an arrangement
being understood by them both. At the conclusion
of the first week he was paid his salary, and for the
next week only 103., but nothing for the third ; upon
which he applied for his salary, and was told that he
might leave immediately if he thought proper. The
prisoner promised the repayment of his money, but on
the 26th of March the office was shut up.
In answer to questions put by the prisoner witness
said that he had accepted as a security for his money
a pianoforte and two sets of mahogany chairs from the
prisoner's mother on a blank piece of paper ; after
which he was informed her husband was in White-
cross-street prison, and that she had no power to snake
such an assignment. He never got possession of any
portion of the articles, trusting to the prisoner's sense
of honour to return him his money, and was ulti
mately informed that the document was of 110 value.
He had received several letters from the prisoner re-
questing further time to pay the amount.
Mr. HENRY—Was it upon the faith of the agree-
ment you mention that you parted with your
money? Witness—lt .was- upon the und.rstanding
that I was to have constant employment.
