Dawson, late Landlord of the Commercial Hotel at Sunderland, "
was last week committed for trial on charges of conspirael t 0 de,
fraud his creoitors, of forgery, and of stealing a watch, hasps
bited in the same line in various part; of the country, under sc.
assumed names of Dawson, Jame*, Hughes, Jones, Boucher,

At Preston, in July, August, and September last, he victto
the tradesmen there to the tune of 1,000/. or 1,200/.. and '0
decamped. He is well known to the turnkeys of the Qu„un
Bench Prison by thg name of Boucher and additional eviuce; to
of his "business habits" is by almost every post conveyeo;

mitted to Durham gaol for attempting to compound °fl,, the
Dawson's feloniei, is also well known to the officers o' by
Queen's Bench Prison, and he has not only been identifiect.,o;
the under-governor of that prison, but some useful inforrnatth' at
has been received respecting this worthy, which proves
that the"
the gang is an extensive one, well organised, and ."--tder

at on'e extensive arid astonishing. Mr. Williams, who figure"
Sunderland with Dawson, was, at the time of the latter Petlfre,°

putting unsuspecting and confiding tradesmen on their gustoto
against the designs of similar scoundrels, who may attempt

every lawful means in their power t, unravel his villanies, t°
up-
mask his confederates, and to punish him to the fullest OW" at
