MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.--On Saturday, Henry
Gould Gibson, a clerk belonging to the banking house of
Messrs. Rankest and Co., came before Mr. HOSKINS, mulct
the following extraordinary circumstances-:
It was his business, that morning, to present a bill lot
payment, in Chapel- street, Tottenham-court-road; and the
wife of the person on whom it was drawn destroyed it,
without paying it. The bill was upon John Keen, of No.
4, Chapel-street; and when Mr. Gibson knocked at the
door, the person who opened it, said his name was Keen,
and Mr. Gibson concluded he was the acceptor. " I have
a bill for payment," said Mr. Gibson. 6' Oh, very well,"
replied that person, taking it out of his hand, " will yon
knit walk up stairs'?" Mr. Gibson followed him into au
upper room, and there he saw the wife of John Keen, with
an infant in her arms, and she refused to pay the bill, be
cause, she said, her husband had been swindled out of it.—
Mr. Gibion told her he must take it back to the banking-
house, and leave her a stdirection. " Ah, but you cant,"
said she, "I have made it quite safe, for I have put it in
the fire." Mr. Gibson, hardly knowing what step to takc
found a constable acid brought her in custody to the office.
James Keen, the cousin of John, took the bill out of
Mr. Gibson's hand, and carried it up stairs to his cousin's
wife, saying, " Here is another of 's bills." She
answered, " I won't have any more of them," and burned it-
Mr. HOSKINS asked Mr. Gibson if he knew the amount ?
—He said not exactly. . - .

He was sent into 'the city to ascertain it and receive in-
structions, and in the meantime an officer apprehended
Mr. John Keen.
