FALL OF TWO UO&SES IN THE STRAND,

To-day at noon the greatest alarm was occa-
sioned near Temple-bar by the sudden fall of two
houses near the entrance to the city. The houses
were until lately in the possession of Professor
Holloway and Mr. Godfree, and were known as 244,
and 244, Strand, but in consequence of the removal
becoming requisite for the new Law Courts both
had been tenantless for some time. The demolition
of the buildings adjoining doubtless caused the
two houses to fall, and it is most for-
tunate that no person was injured by the
accident. The utmost confusion was, of course,
created by such a circumstance, and at first it was
supposed that some of the men employed near the
houses had been buried beneath the debris, but such
fears proved groundless. Since the accident hun-
dreds of people have flocked to the spot to view
the ,heap of rubbish which the houses have now
become.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

BOOK-KEEPING EXTRAORDINAIM—Chas. Wicks,
alias John Howard, was brought on remand,
charged with forging and uttering a great number
of cheques, for various amounts, and Matilda
Howard, alias Kipps, charged with uttering one of
the cheques.
Mr. Mullins, solicitor to the Bankers' Association,
conducted the prosecution upon the large number of
cases, and Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, conducted, in
one case, on behalf of the National Provincial Bank.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. Lewis, sen., of
Ely-place.
The prisoners were recently living at Clarence-
cottage, Swanage, as Mr. and Mrs. Howard. At
about one o'clock on the morning of the 15th Feb.
they left clandestinely, and made their way to the
Red Lion, at Wareham, carrying some luggage in
a box between them.:Two constables who saw them
on the road, suspecting that something was wrong,
watched them to the Red Lion, and gave informa-
tion to Mr. Eyles, the superintendent of police at
Wareham, in consequence of which they were taken
into custody. When the female prisoner was searched
- it was found that she carried under her crinoline,
and attached to her waist 'by a strap, some articles
of wearing apparel and a quantity of very curious
documents. Amongst them were a number of
cheques and counterfeits, and a series of carefully
kept diaries extending over ten years, from 1858 to
1868. These diaries had been carefully kept by the
male prisoner. Day by day the details were given
of every important or unimportant event of his life,
even to what he had for dinner, what time he went
to bed at night, and got up in the morning.
Amongst these entries many referred to the frauds
committed on various banks, and by this means was
detected a systematic course of swindling and for-
gery, carried on with incredible assiduity and suc-
cess. For instance, on the 29th and 30th December,

lowed a series of entries showing that he had gone
round in cabs to the various branches of the
London and County Banks, sometimes calling
at pawnbrokers, tailors, and hatters to alter his
costume, and referring for further particulars to
another page, which contained the following entry :
—Dec. 31st. Cash received this day—By balance
in hand, Bs. 61. ; received for of Landring.

vent Garden (T. Dyson, manager), £35 12s.

7d. ; High-street, Borough, £35 12s. 7d.—
£179 16s. Bd. In each of the above cases I gave a
card—Mr. Wilson Lee—and pretended I was a re-
lative of Mr. Wilson Lee, M.P., and gave a card of
his with his compliments, saying he had recom-
mended me open an account. I then produced a
check for £35,12s 7d. an the London and County
Bank at Gravesend, drawn in favour of Wilson Lee

and signed F. H. Southgate ; endorsed by Wilson
Lee; and saidl did not wish itgo through the account,
so they might give me the money, which they all did.
Syker only asked me to draw upon them, as they
had a rule against cash and cheques. In each case,
except Covent-garden, where I desired it, and I got
a cheque-book for 25 cheques and paid for same.
I returned, saying Mr. Lea told me to give his
compliments, and hoped we should agree. My
card was as follows--Mr. Wilson Lee, The Wood -
lands, Westfield, Maidstone, 11.
Mr. Dyser, the manager of the Covent-garden
branch of the London and County Bank in Henrietta -
street, stated that on the 30th December, 1861, the
prisoner called on him about half past one o'clock,
and gave the cards of Mr. William Lee and Mr.
Wilson Lee. Ile said the latter was his own name,
and that Mr. William Lee, one of the directors of
the bank, was his uncle, and had recommended him

to open an account there. He said he had a large
Maidstone, but he was going to reside at
account with Randall, Wigan, and Maur, of
Carlton-terrace, and wished to open a small ac-
count at Henrietta-street for private use. He had
not yet settled upon the house, but his wife and
family would be in town in a week or two. He
then gave a cheque on
Randall's bank for £1,500,
and denied that it should be placed to his credit.
As he was about to leave he said, " By the bye, my
uncle said that if I wanted change for a small
cheque you would give it me," and pro-
duced a cheque for £35 12s. 7d., dated Gravesend,
28th December, 1864, and purporting to be drawn
on the Gravesend branch of the London and County
Bank, by F. H. Southgate, and payable to Wilson
Lee, Esq., on order. It Was afterwards ascertained
that no such person as Wilson Lee or F. H. South-
gate was known either at Randal, Wigan, and
Mercers, or at the Gravesend branch of the
Londonoweve h and County Bank. It appeared,
prisoner bad called at both of
these Banks on the 28th, and had obtained cheque-
books, as stated in the above extract from the
however, that
r, the t

diary.
The prisoner was remanded.

prisoner the employw al
show-
board of the shop and took up a turkey and walked
off with it, and he then went after him and gave him
into custody.
Mr. Knox, who had previously ordered the
turkey to be remove& to the rear of the court in
consequence of its inodorous condition, asked the
value of it, and on being informed 75., remarked
that it was dear enough at any price.

Paul Burgess, 35 B, said that on taking the pri-
soner into custody he had upon him five rolls of
ribbon, and on asking him how he came by them
he said they were
" cabbage."
Barnes, the gaoler, said if the ribbon had been

" cabbage" it would not have been on rollers. It
was much more probable that it had been stolen at
the linen-draper's.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, that the police
might hate au opportunity of nicking inquiries re-

specting him, till Friday next; at the same time
telling the first witness that there was no need to
keep the turkey till then as it was already high
enough.
