THE WILLS FORGERIES

Mr. GREENWOOD expressed his determination to send
the prisoner for trial, but would at present remand him.
He would, however, accept of security to the amount of
404, and himself in the same sum, for his appearance at
this Court on Thursday next.
A lad named Smith was charged with stealing two
coats from the house of Mr. Sanson, a clerk in the Cus-
tom-house, residing at No. 2, Cloudesly-street, Islington.
On Saturday evening, the prisoner was seen running
from Mr. Sanson's house by Police-constable N 21 with
the coats on his shoulder. He was taken into custody.
It appeared that the door having been left ajar for a
moment by the servant, the prisoner entered and re-
moved the coats, which were hanging in the hall. Com-
mitted for trial.

Two well known little thieves named Coohe and Sotty,
were charged with stealing twelve telescopes, the pro-
perty of Mr. Settor, a shopkeeper residing in Duke-
street, Holborn, and a marine storesdealer named Moore
with receiving the property. The prisoners were com-
mitted for trial.

• MARYLEBONE,
Win. Reynolds, a powerful fellow, was charged with an
aggravated assault on. Win. Smith, a private in the 2d batta-
lion of Grenadier Guards.
The complainant said that as he was a married man he had
permission to live out of barracks, and he was, therefore, going
in company with his wife, late on Saturday evening to pur-
chase what he required in Portman-market. Prisoner and
and several others were standing at the corner of Church-
street ; and, on passing, he applied the epithet of - soldier
to him (complainant), and another of a similar character to
his wife. He remonstrated on the vile nature of his language,
when the prisoner " butted" him down, and while on the
ground he was struck by him and his companions. Two
constables coming up, the prisoner was taken into custody.
The wife gave similar evidence, and the prisoner having no
defence to make, was fined 20s.
UNION-HALL.
Sophia Mills, a young woman, in the service of Captain
Hamilton, of the East India Company's service, residing at
Nunhead, was charged before Mr. 'I rail! with being con-
cerned in a burglary and robbery at her master's house.
The Captain stated that on Monday night his house
was broken into, the thieves having effected an entrance
by cutting two circular pieces of wood out of the back door
with a centre-bit. They then entered the rooms down stairs,
from which they succeeded in taking a gold watch, a mu-
sical snuff-box, and about two hundred cigars. The rob-
bery was not discovered until the following morning,
and the prisoner being suspected, she was questioned and
prevaricated so much that her master considered it neces-
sary to give her into custody. In the course of the inquiries
made respecting the prisoner, it was found that she had
given a fictitious character in obtaining the situation, and
that on the night of the robbery she lett the back kitchen
window unfastened in such a way that would have rendered
it an easy task for thieves to get into the house. Other cir-
cumstances of suspicion being excited against the prisoner,
she was remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
James Trigg, alias" the Paddington Dustman," well known
to the police for many years past, was charged with robbing
a young man named Thomas Bain, living at No. 13, Tower-
street, Westminster-road, of 3101. in Bank of England notes,
and twenty-seven sovereigns, under the following circum -
stances:— -
On Saturday last, the prosecutor, having the money in
question, which had been left to him by a relative, in his
possession, went into a public-house in the neighbourhood of
Seven-dials, and while drinking there, fell in company with
the prisoner. They continued drinking together for several
hours, and at length they adjourned to another public house.
the George, in Great Chapel-street, Soho, where they had
more drink, and eventually the prisoner became overpowered
by the liquor he had swallowed, and fell asleep. On awak-
ing, he discovered that he was minus his notes and gold; the
former were in a tin case, which was also taken with them.
He immediately gave information to the police, who, from
the prisoner being so well known, succeeded in tracing him
out and taking him into custody, between ten and eleven
o'clock on Saturday night, in Little Harcourt-street, Mary-
lebone. In the meantime the tin case, containing the whole of
the stolen notes, was found, thrown down the area of the house
of Mr. Richardson of No. 78, Newman-street, Oxford-street ;
it was picked up by one of the female servants who imme-
diately gave it to her master. It is supposed that the pri-
soner (who is a very illiterate man) being drunk at the time
did not discover that the case contained Bank notes, but
supposing them only to be papers threw them away to pre-
vent their being found on him.
The prisoner was- remanded for the attendance of some
witnesses.

Only a few shillings was found on the prisoner when ap-
prehended, but he had purchased several articles of wearing
apparel which he had on.

QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
JoseA Magee, a bricklayer, and George Stafford, a sawyer,
two young men, were charged before Mr. Bond, the former
with fighting and creating a disturbance at Knightsbridge,
and the latter with throwing stones and mud at the police,
and otherwise obstructing them in the execution of their duty.
John Jones, 37 B, said that between twelve and one o'clock
on Sunday morning, he- saw Magee fighting with another
man, not in custody, in the High-road, Knightsbridge, and
surrounded by a mob of two hundred persons, a great
number of whom were shouting and making considerable
disturbance. He tried to take Magee into custody, but,
on attempting to do so, several persons attacked him,
and prevented him from doing to. He sprang his rattle,
and obtained the assistance of four other constables, who as-
sisted him in taking Magee into custody, who tore the coat
of one of the officers; and was exceedingly violent in his be-
haviour. On their progress to the station-house the mob
attacked the police, who were compelled to draw their staves
in self-defence. Two of the police had their hats cat through
by the missiles thrown at them. Stafford, with other per-
sons, who escaped, threw stones and mud at the constables.
Other policemen, who were called to Jones's assistance,
corroborated his statement.

In reply to the charge, Magee said he saw a mob opposite
the Marquis of Granby, Knightsbridge; he ran into the road
to see what was the matter, and had only been there a few
minutes when the policeman Came up and said that he was
one of the men who had seen fighting, and took him into cus-
tody. Magee complained that the police tore the clothes off
his back, and that he lost six shillings.
Mr. BOND said that complaints were frequently made to
him by persons brought before him, that their clothes were
torn by the police, but that was no reason why a milder
punishment should be inflicted upon them. If persons, by
their own misconduct, rendered it necessary that the police
should interfere to prevent them from doing themselves or
other persons injury—and their conduct was so violent as to
compel the police to use force—they (the police) were not to
blame, but rather the parties themselves, who were the sole
cause of any injuries which they might receive whilst in
their custody.
Stafford said he was merely amusing himself by throwing
pieces of mud at the police. The pieces were so small that
he was sure no injury could result from them.
They were fined 30s. each, or in default of payment, twenty-
one days' imprisonment.

TRADE.--We hear that the assignees of Messrs.
Oliver, York, and Harrison, the late proprietors of the Horse-
ley iron works, at Tipton, have succeeding in disposing of
that important concern to Messrs. I3ramah and Co., of the
Woodside iron works, and that the works will soon be put
in active operation. This will, doubtless, be the means of
affording employment to a great number of hands, and bo
cf great benefit to the neighbourhood. We hope this may
be taken as a sign of general improvement.—Ten Towns

MANSION-HOUSE-(YESTERDAY)
At a quarter before eleven o'clock this morning John For-
rester, the officer, arrived at the Mansion-house, bringing
with him Lydia Sanders, who stands charged with having
personated Miss Emma Slack, and thereby enabling the
other prisoners to obtain the sum of 2,000/., the property of
the said Emma Slack.
. _

After the night charges were disposed of by Mr. Alderman
Thomas Wood, who sat for the Lord Mayor, the prisoner was
brought in about half-past one o'clock, when the Lord Mayor
came and took his seat. The prisoner, who is a much better
looking female than her sister, Mrs. Dorey, was dressed in a
check gown, a blue plaid cloak, and black mourning bonnet.
She was accommodated with a seat. Mr. Cotton, the chair-
man of the Bank of England, and several of the Directors,
were present during the inquiry.
Mr. Freshfield, having stated the nature of the charge, said,
that to-day his only object was to give such evidence as
would justify his Lordship to remand her.
The LORD Mayou having inquired if she had any profes-
sional adviser, the prisoner replied in the negative.
Evidenc.t was then adduced as to the prisoner going to
Doctors'-commons and the Bank, and representing herself as
Emma Slack.

The prisoner was then remanded until Saturday, when she
will be brought up with the other prisoners, for the purpose
of being committed. •

Thomas Shq:lford, a hairdresser, residing in White-
cross-street, Clerkenwell, was charged with attempting
to bribe a witnesi for the purpose of clandestinely sup-
pressing a charge of felony.
A man named' Henry Burgess was yesterday charged
in this Court with breaking int') a dwelling-house and
stealing therefroth money and wearing apparel, value
101., the propei•ty of David Rees, a shop'reeper, living in
Turnmill•street, Clerkenwell. It was proved by several
witnesses that Shelford had, in the passage of the
Court, and in-the public-house opposite, offered a sum
of 21. 103. to the prosecutor not to press the charge. He,
however, declined, and gave information of the offer to
the police.
