DR. NORRIS'S FEVER DROPS.—This
celebrated Medicine is allowed to be superior to any
other remedy in all cases of Fevers, Sore Throats, Slow
Fevers commonly called Nervous, Typhus Fever, and
Agues, and all those Disorders which arise from obstructed
perspiration. In hot climates, where Fluxes, and Bilious
Complaints are very prevalent, especially in the West
Indies and America, these Drops, are by extensive and suc-
cessful experience, proved to be invaluable. They pro-
duce perspiration in the most gentle and easy manner, and
without giving the Patient the least disturbance or uneasi-
ness. These Drops, given agreeably to the direction in
the several and distinct cases, not a single instance has ever
come to the knowledge of Dr. Norris, in which they have
failed to cure.

Purchasers are requested to observe that the genuine
preparation of Norris's Drops, will have engraved on the
stamp, "Thomas Norris Moore." Price 2s. 9d._11..,
and in family bottles 225. each.

Winnington, a wine-merchant ►n the City ; Messrs.
Hornbuckle and Co. spirit-merchants, New Bond-
street ; and other individuals in an extensive way of
business, who had been swindled out of goods by the
noted Barrow alias Hopkinson, did not appear at
the examinations of that person, under the impres-
sion that their cases in most instances amounted only
to simple debts. The following are the circum-
stances under which this notorious character obtained
goods from the persons named :
On the 4th of March the prisoner drove up to
Mr. Aekermann's Repository, in a dashing cabriolet,
accompanied by a fashionablydressed female, and
attended by a groom. On entering the Repository,
he presented h►s card with the usual address, "
Thomas 'Hopkinson, Trinity College, Cambridge,"
and ordered two of the most elegant and expensive
Albums to be made up for him with all possible ex-
pedition. One of the Albums was to have a gilt
clasp, and the other lie directed should have a steel
lock and key, stating as a reason for this difference,
that he wanted the latter particulary "for his trans-
tion of Virgil," and as he intended shortly to return
to the University, he was desirous that his fellow
collegians should not profit by his studies, meaning
that the students might possibly copy the transla-
dons, if the Album was not locked. The prisoner
swore several round oaths whilst remaining in the
Repository, although surrounded by ladies; and
on being asked where the Albums should be sent
to, when completed, he replied, " Why, at present
I am living in St. James's-street, near Crock-
ford's Club-house, but I intend removing in a
few days to a house in the Regent's Park; at all
events, I shall send you word if I remove before
the Albums are finished." The prisoner and
his female companion then drove off, and a day
or two afterwards Mr. Ackermann received a note
from the prisoner, dated "32, Park-road, Regent's
Park," and requesting the Albums, with the account,
amounting to 41. 45., to be sent immediately. Mr.
Ackermann conceived there was something suspicious
in the prisoner's proceedings; but ultimately, the
Albums were delivered at 32, Park-road, on the
10th March. Mr. Ackermann afterwards traced the
prisoner, who had been turned out of the house in
Park-road, to lodgings in East-street, and Spring-
street, Manchester-square. At the former place he
had slept two nights with the lion. Mr. Long Wel-
lesley's coachman, who cut a conspicuous figure in
the late proceedings at the Courts in Westminster;
and the landlady at the house in Spring-street re-
gretted that she had suffered " such a man" as the
prisoner to remain in her abode a single night. Mr.
Ackermann, however, was not successful in tracing
out Barrow, and he heard nothing further of him
until he was informed that he was in custody, when
Mr. Ackermann (who is a foreigner) declined to
come forward and state his charge, being influenced
by the consideration that he might be compelled to
prosecute--a course which he was exceedingly re-

luctant to take.
Mr. Salter received a visit from Barrow on the
Bth March of the present year. He informed Mr.
Salter's nephew that he was going to be married in
a few months to Lady Percival, and until his house,
32, Park-road, should be fitted up in a style corres-
ponding to the rank of his intended bride, he would
require some cutlery of a common description to
knock about. He then ordered a dozen plated desert
knives, and the same number of soup ladles, spoons,
and forks, and wished them to be sent up that after-
noon, as he had a- dinner party. The goods were
accordingly made up, with the exception of the
forks,
_which were accidentally 'omitted, and Mr.

Salter's porter was despatched with the parcel and
the account, amounting to 71. lls., to Mr. Barrow's

residence. On reaching Park-road, the porter found
Mr. Barrow was not within, and he therefore re-
fused to leave the goods. Mr. Salter's nephew
called again in the evening at Barrow's house, with
whom he had an interview, and he seemed highly
displeased that the goods were not left in the morn-
ing. He wrote out an additional order for a dozen •
silver table forks, and the same number of spoons,
which he requested should be sent upon the follow-
ing morning. Mr. Salter executed the order, which
came to 25/.,but on the porter inquiring for Mr. Barrow,
Mr. Finlayson, the landlord of the house, informed
him that he had " turned Mr. Barrow neck and
shoulders out of the house that morning," and Mr.
Salter, of course, was only a sufferer by Mr. Bar-
low's knavery to the amount of 71. Hs. Mr. Salter
afterwards eucountered Barrow in the street, when
he made an appointment to be at the house in Park-
road the same evening, that he might make some ar-
rangement with Mr. Finlayson, to induce that gen-
tleman to deliver up the cutlery; but it is almost
• needless to add, that Barrow never made his appear-
ance at Mr. Finlayson's. In conjunction with Mr.
Ackermann, Mr. Salter subsequently traced Barrow
to a barber's shop in East-street, Manchester-square,
where he had been going with Mr. Long Wel-
lesley's coachman. It appears that the prisoner
represented to several other individuals, Mr. Good-
man, Mr. Doubleday's clerk amongst the number,
that he was on the eve of marriage with Lady Per-
cival, knowing that there was no such lady in exist-
ence (Lord Percival, eldest son of the Earl of
Egmont, being unmarried, and the Noble Earl has
no daughters), although it was the family name of
two Noble Lords, and consequently the false repre-
sentation could not easily be detected.
Barrow swindled Mr. Jarrin, of Newßond-street,
out of Champagne, liqueurs, confectionery, Sec. under
circumstances entirely different from the other cases.
Mr. Jarrin executed a written order in March, for

the prisoner, under the name of Barrow, which
amounted to 21.105. and the confectionery, &c. was
sent to some chambers in Lincoln's-inn-fields. Two
months afterwards the prisoner himself entered Mr.
Jarrin's shop, dressed in a blue livery, and threw
a letter en the counter, and, without waiting for a
reply, walked away. Mr. Jarrin found the letter to
contain an order for Curagoa, liqueurs, &c. to the
amount of 5/. to be sent to 32, Park-road; and the
writer described himself as Mr. Hopkinson, of Tri-
nity College, and referred Mr. Jarrin to his friend,
" v. J. Foley, Esq. M.P. of 41, Curzon-street, May
Fair, a cousin of Lord Foley's, if Mr. Jarrin consi-
dered it necessary to make any inquiries concerning
him." Mr. Foley being well known to Mr. Jarrin
as one of his principal customers, executed Barrow's
order without applying to Air. Foley, feeling assured
that that gentleman's friends were persons of dis-
tinction, and not entertaining the slightest sus-
picion that Mr. Barrow, of Lincoln's Inn, and
Mr. Hopkinson, of Park-road, were the same in-
dividuals. About the middle of June, Mr. Jarrin
received another extensive order from Mr. Hop-
kinson, dated Euston-grove, and requesting that
Champagne, liqueurs, and confectionery, to the
amount of 20/. might be sent up immediately, as ha
intended to give a grand entertainment. Mr. Bos-
sange, the foreign bookseller, of Great Marlborough-
street, chanced to be in Mr. Jarrin's shop, when
Barrow's groom presented the note from his master,
and that gentleman gave such information as in-
duced Mr. Jarrin to act with caution in supplying
Mr. Hopkinson with Champagne, &c. as Mr.
Bossange related the particulars of an ingenious at-

tempt of Mr. Hopkinson to swindle him out of a
large quantity of books. Mr. Jarrin, however, sent
lip the Champagne, ices, &c. with the hill, which,
on being presented to Barrow, he exclaimed, " Why,
what nonsense it is of Jarrin to be so particular, after
I have referred him to Foley; leave the things and I
will settle both accounts to-morrow." Mr. Jarrin'::
messenger, however, had received orders to the con-
trary effect, and the supply of delicacies for Mr. Bar-
row's approaching entertainment were brought back
to Bond-street, and Mr. Jarrin was, therefore, only
4 sufferer by the prisoner to the amount of 71. 10s.
The fact has not been stated, that Barrow was on
the point of being discharged when he was brought
up from St. Pancras watch-house on Saturday, the
Bth instant, no person for some time appearing to
make any specific charge agairist him ; a Mr. San-
who.attended on behalf of Miss Hopton, of
336, Oxford-street, having withdrawn that lady's

complaint against him.
In the mouth of January, 1827, the prisoner, who
(lien had apartments in Thanet-place, Tcmple-bar,
and rented " Windmill Cottage, Clapham," fre-
quently lounged into Mr. Waller's shop, at 49,
Fleet-street, and purchased small quantities of writ-
ing paper. He spoke in familiar terms of several of
-Mr. Waller's most respectable customers, and Mr.
Waller therefore concluded he was on intimate terms
with the gentlemen who dealt with him. At length
Barrow represented that he was going into practice
as a solicitor; and. on one occasion, after selecting
stationery to the amount of 31. 1 Is., which he di-
rected to be sent to Thanet-place, he told Mr. Wa-
ller. that his clerk should call in a few days, to look
out an assortment of account-books, &c. Mr. Waller
never saw Mr. Barrow's clerk, but Barrow himself
applied to Mr. Waller, a few days after he had been
supplied with the stationery, and selected Sir Wal-
ter Scott's Works, " Life in London," and other
works, to the amount of 10/., which his groom con-
veyed, in a gig, to Mr. Barrow's residence, on Clap-
ham Common. Mr. Waller, afterwards, repeatedly
sent to Windmill Cottage for the amount of his
bill, but Barrow was always invisible, and Mr. W.
never heard of him, until he saw an account in the
papers, of his apprehension, at Euston Grove, far
sending a forged order to Miss Hopton, of 336, Ox-
ford-street, for two Leghorn bonnets, which he
had dated from 18, Hamilton-place, Piccadilly, in
the name of Charles Hopkinson, Esq., the banker,
who resides in Cadogan-place, Chelsea. It was soon
ascertained that there was no Number 18 in Hamil-
ton-place. Barrow, however, possessed sufficient
tact to know that if lie had written the note from
either the residences of the Earl of Eldon, Earl
Gower, Earl Belmore, or the Marquis of Exeter, in
Hamilton-place, the fraud would have been disco-
vered with more facility.
Mr. DYER intimated, that unless some case was
established upon oath, the prisoner must be set at
liberty.
Mr. James Green, jun. of Will's hotel and coffee-
house, Serle-street and Portugal-street, Lincoln's
Inn-fields, then stated that the-prisoner had swin-
dled him out of some wine and spirits upon two occa-
sions, but he was not prepared to substantiate his
charge against him on that day. Mr. Dyer desired
Mr. Green to inform him of the circumstances under
which Barrow had defrauded him, and ultimately
ordered the prisoner to be remanded, and directed
Mr. Green to attend on the next examination. Mr.
Green accordingly produced the notes, when the
prisoner was again brciught up, but owing to the
office being so excessively crowded by persons who
had charges to make against him, they were not
read, and Mr. Green's case, although one of the
strongest, was not followed up. A Gentleman,
from whom Mr. Sergeant Rough rented chambers
in Lincoln's Inn, identified the hand-writing of Bar-
row, in the notes addressed by him to Mr. Green,
having often seen him write whilst he lived in the
capacityof Clerk or Secretary to the Sergeant, when
the latter gentleman lived in Lincoln's Inn-fields.
On Barrow being discharged by the Sergeant, four
or five years ago, he called on Mr. Green, and ob-
tained half a dozen bottles of sherry in the Sergeant's
name. Mr. Green was not aware he had been im-
posed on until he applied to Sergeant Rough on the
subject; who informed him that he had entirely dis-
carded the prisoner for his dissolute coarse of life.
Mr. Green heard nothing further from the prisoner
until the 27sh July, when a groom brought him the
following note; but owing to Barrow not applying
personally, he had no idea that Mr. Hopkinson, late of
Trinity College, and Mr. Barrow, Sergt. Rough's
private secretary, were one and the same person :
" Mr. Hopkinson (late of Trinity College, Cambridge,
and of Cowley-grove, Uxbridge) compliments to Mr.
Green, and regrets he must be troublesome to-day, unavoid-
able as it is, in consequence of his arriving in town too late
last evening, either to send up or call upon Mr. Green.
Mr. Hopkinson will feel particularly obliged to Mr. Green,
if lie will accommodate him with sending up to his town
residence half a dozen of his Port, and half dozen Sherry,
such as he usually supplies Sir Charles Wetherell with, and
at the same time he shall require half dozen of Champagne,
and half dozen bottles of Cogniac Brandy : and to-morrow
send up one dozen and a half of each sort, so as to make two
dozen ofeach, with an account. Mr. H. would not trouble
Mr. Green to-day, but he has a few friends to dine with
him. If Mr. H. finds the wines as spoken of. he will have
his further supplies from him, as his late wine-merchants,
Hooper and Burroughs, are now bankrupts.
" Euston-grove, July 27.
" The bearer (Mr. [L's groom) will assist in
carrying the wine up."
Mr. Green accordingly supplied the prisoner with
his first order, and sent up the following morning
to know how he was to make the receipt out, and
receive other directions. The groom said his master
found the wine; excellent, and wished Mr. Green to
execute the second order without delay. Mr. Green,
however, resolved to have an interview with his new
customer before he supplied -him with any more
wine, and he called repeatedly in Euston-grove for
that purpose, but Mr. Hopkinson was never to be
seen. On the 30th July, Mr. Green received-snother
communication from Mr. Barrow, to the following

effect :
" Mr. Hopkinson regrets he was from home during
Mr. Green's repeated calls. Mr. H. begs to inform Mr.
Green, from what has been stated by his servant, that he
will thank him to send up his account by the bearer for
what wines he has had. Mr. Hopkinson can only say,
that Mr. Green is at perfect liberty to make inquiry of him
to any Gentleman of the Bar who has belonged to Trinity,
or to any one living in his own neighbourhood (Uxbridge),
and possibly Mr. Green may repent having spoken so in-
sultingly of Mr. Hopkinson, who is himself going a short
distance oat of town for a day or two, or he would have
called upon Mr. Green, feeling hurt as he does at Mr.
Green's insinuations. Mr. Hopkinson will settle Mr.
Green's account on his return, and therefore Mr. Green
may save himself the trouble of calling or leaving any
more messages at Euston Grove."
On Mr. Green again applying at Euston Grove,
the servant informed him that her master was just
taken to the watch-house, whither Mr. Green ac-
cordingly proceeded, and immediately recognised
the ci-rievant Secretary to Mr. Sergeant Rough.—
On the evening previoug to his apprehension, he
had the assurance to enter the watchhouse and offer
himself as bail for Miss Matilda Nelson, who was
then in custody for obtaining the Leghorn bonnets.
Birchmore, the constable, expressed himself reluc-
tant to accept bail, and told the prisoner that he
had no paper to write his (Barrow's) address upon.
Oh, if that's all," exclaimed Barrow, " 1 will
tear a leaf out of my betting-book," and produced
a small pocket-book; but Birchmore still refused to
take the prisoner's security, and. the prisoner de-
parted. Not many hours, however, had elapsed,
-when the prisoner himself was brought to the watch-
house in custody.
