EXTRAORDINARY CH tIIGE ac• TRI.ON Y.

The following case has been under investigation for sonic
days past, at this Office, before Sir OtionuE FAH RANT, the
agistrate

About a fortnight ago a gentle Man, named Addison, an offi-
cer of the Guards, residing at .ti0...16, in . the Regent's Quad-
rant, came to-this-office and obtained a summons to .enjoin
the attendance of a man named Charles Abbott, book-keeper
at the Atlas, or steam-packet, coach and packet-office, in
Piccadilly, -the corner of the Regent's Circuis„ to account for
the non-delivery-of a parcel or parcels which Air. Addison
had booked at that office. In obedience to tite.stonnpirninscs:nerll
Ab-
bott attended the next -day, when Mr. Addison stated-, that

containing a watch, chain, and seals, two 101. notes, and other
properly.; he paid the prisoner not only the charge-for booking
anti carriage, but also paid bins 2d. per lb. value extra as
an insurance for its -safe. delivery. This parcel, Mr. Addison
said, he had discovered never via,. :forwarcActi to its destina-
tion, on his applying- to the priaoeer for some explanation
respecting it, he referred him to Fetter-lane effiee, to which
he said be had forwarded the parcel as n.ln Of Course in
the usual way, by a carrier from the latter office, where the
York coach starts nom, who goes round every .day to the
different . booking-offices at tho west end of the town, its
take up any parcels that may be intended .tin the north-
ern road. On inquiry, however, at the office in Fetter.
lane, Mr. Addison was there perfectlY satisfied that no
such parcel ever reached that office. Under these circumstances
of suapicion, Abbott was detained, and remanded for another
examination. In the interval before his next examination, one
Mr. Joseph Lancaster, lien., whom Abbott represented to be
the proprietor of this booking-office, on hearing that the book-
keeper was in custody upofi such a charge, Wrote, as it appeared,
a letter to some pinion at this office, of a description not calcu-
lated to exonerate Abbott. The consequence was, that on Wed-
nesday last, when Abbott was brought before the magistrate a
second time, he not only re-asserted his own entireinnocence,
but denounced the proprietors as the real depredators on the
public, *eating that it was their practice to open every Jawed
which they supposed to contain any thing of value. Abbott
added, that he had no doubt there might be found then on the
premises of this ateiming-office,- scene parcels, or the t.r.-•
mains of parcels, that had been broken Open. The magic.'
trate, acting upon thin' hint, discharged Abbott, seeing'
that no sufficient case could be made out against him, and
upon his sworn information issued a search. warrant to
be executed at the premises of the Laocasteriate establish.
went. Abbott hiving represented dir. Joseph Lantraater, seas
as the proprietor of the place, Ballard and Avis, the two officers
who went on Friday last to execute the search-warrant, inquired
for that person,. but Mr. Joseph Lancaster, jun., presented ltim-
self as the real proprietor of the eatubliahment, with which he,
said his father had nothing to do further than occasionally lend.
ing his assistance and advice. The officers then, froin some dis-
coveries which they made in the course of their search, took
Joseph Lancaster, jun. into custody and brought, him. to this
office on Friday morning, when he was ordered by the atagis.,
trate ter be detamed for esatnintition the next day. On Sentra
day, Sir George Farrant having takenhis scat ,in the privet-
room, which, however, on this occasion was public., the prisoner
was brouela in a he is a good-looking young man, dressed
somewhatthe dealt, or ratherin the caddish style. His father,
paai)lil n
lapeatiter, senior.; was in attendance, and had for
his logal adviser .Sir. Wingfield, arespectuble solicitor. By way
of prelude to the regular proceedings, a vast deal of criminatory
anti recrlminutory.charges passed between 111 r. Lancaster, sea.
and his or his son shookkeeper, Abbott. The latter, however,
stuck to hia text as to opening of parcels; &c..; and Alt. lam.
canto-, am. said it had been long known at the steam-packet-
office. that he. ( A bhott) was in the practice of opening parcels,
and various complaints had been made of parcels lost. " And
yet," said Sir Heorge Farrant, " although you say you knew
hint to be the public, you kept bun in your employ..
taunt as bookkeeper !"
Mr. Lancaster said, that it was not himself, hut his son, over
Whom, as proprietor, he had no controul,who kept Abbott in the
office ; and the reason, he was sorry to say, was, that Abbott '
osed to take his son about town to the different boxing hotif.es to
show him lite: lie had often advised his son to discharge
Abbott, or at least to reduce him to the station of porter oely at
the office ; but his son would not do rio, and his present stunt-
tion was the consequence.
Mr. Addison made an observation as to the improptiety of
retaining a man in their service whose dishonesty towards the
public they acknowledged they were acquainted-with. •
Mr. Di-waster, sea. replit d to this observation by addressing
dir: Addison in a very ruin, laid-Went:Jive manner, and apply-
ing to him the term " Dandy."' •
Air. Addison said, he hoped the Magistrate would protect
him against the vulgar insolence of this man. lie (Mr. Addi.
son) came there topert-tont a duty, not only to himself but to
the- public, anti in the performance of that duty, he hoped he
should not be suffered to be. insulted tele of the petty whom
he accused of dishonest platelets. •
Mr. Addison was sworn, and stitted that on Friday lust he
accompanied Ibtllarel and .\via, the
packet-office, to execute a search, warrant, and on examining
desk belonging to the prisoner, he thund in the corner of it the
parcel now produced. ' This parcel was one which he (Mr.
Addibon) had booked at the office on the 20th pf February lust,

present at the booking of this parcel on the 211th of February.
Ballard and Avis being sworn, said, that on going to.the
toner's 'house, accompanied by Mr.-" ..-Ntitliaon, to came the
search-warrant, • they asked' die prii.oner toe the keys of kome
desks which were locked., The ptistmer at first retetned,, and
hesitated some time to give the keys ; they at last told hint that
if he' persisted in refusing they must break the desk open; open
