WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Chilcoat, of No. 3, Bond-court,
Walbrook, attorney, attended before the Magistrates,
Mr. TWYFORD and Mr. BROUGHTON, for an expla-
nation touching the charge against James Mawbq,
his clerk, of having conspired, with another person
unknown, to throw John Beazley into prison, upon
a pretended debt said to be due from him to a per.
son called William Jonathan Fisher.
Mr. BRouGuToN recapitulated the evidence.
Mr. Chilcoat said he knew no such person as Fisher.
Mr. BROUGHTON said, that Mawby came before
him on Saturday evening, after the case was first
heard, and with perfect nonchalance assured him that
it was a bona fide transaction ; that Fisher was a
leather-dresser at Hythe, in Kent, and a client of
Mr. Chilcoat, his employer.
Mr. Chilcoat declared that be did not know any
such person. The first he heard of it was from his
clerk Mawby, who, wien the officer's ❑ote of the
arrest was sent in on Thursday, told him it was in
pursuance of instructions for a bona fide debt of
lOU, and he then desired Mawby not to issue a
writ again without consulting him.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Where is the precipe book ?
The book was produced by Waters, the officer,
and the entry " Wm. Jonathan Fisher against John
Beazley" was recognized by Mr. Chilcoat as Maw-
by's hand-writing.
Mr. BROUGHTON observed, that a strong circum-
stance against Nlawby was the anxiety which he
had shown to the officer to have the writ executed
the same day it was taken out. The officer was
too late for an appointment made to meet him that

evening, but witnesses swore that Mawby was gell
lurking about the place, and watching the officl

gave a tremendous power of revenge to vindictri
persons.
Mr. Chilcoat said that Mawby told him Beasley
had just received a legacy of 200/., and that utile!
the 100/. debt had been proceeded for at once! tt,
could not be got. But he repeated that he knesi
no such person as Fisher. M. Chacoat pronaiiet
to make every inquiry in his power to assist tit for;
warding the ends of justice, and to attend the ncl
examination of the prisoner Mawby.
The precipe book was first produced at the office
on Monday evening, and the Magistrate, on looking
into it, observed an entry —" Bill for James
against John Beazley, 20/." Beazley being prese°
Mr. BROUGHTON asked him if Mawby had ever
sued him for 20/.? He said Mawby had hegl
an'action against him, and it was still pending, 911:1
quite distinct from this other case of the pretende ,
Fisher.
Mr. BROUGHTON—And do you owe him 201.
Complainant said he owed him nothing, and h%
never yet been paid the money awarded him by 00
Commissioners. The 201. transaction he said los
follows :—There had been a small shed at the bac
of his house, of which his lodger, Mawby, bed the
use, but some time ago being desirous of enlarging
his gaiden, he pulled down the shed in order to O
In.;
vert into a garden the ground upon which ;0
stood. But there had been some pots or We
the shed belonging to Mawby, and the latter gav
him notice of an action of trespass for 201. damage%
It should be stated that Mr. Chileoat, wilt"
asked yesterday what he knew of Mawby, said he
had been in his service about twelve months, but
:I°,l
as his principal or confidential clerk, and that he°
received a good character of him.
A further statement was nude at this office )I°7

a Spanish refugee, who had been taken into custody
for pulling up roots of mangel wurzel in a field at
Islington. nd

Mr. BROUGHTON said, he believed the poor inall
to be deranged, and desired an officer to WI;
pany him to the city, and to make some inquine
about him.
Hanky, the officer, accordingly went with till;
Spaniard to the Mansion-house. Mr. Freshfieh;
the Secretary to the Committee, was not in t
way at the time, but Mr. Hobler having looked oved
a number of letters and papers which the Spaniard
had in his pocket, confirmed the account he lia
