POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday Jahn Beresfidrd Sayers, who stands charge.
with various acts of swindling, underwent a final eiaminv
ton before Mr. HALLS, the sitting magistrate, and Sir R.
BIRNIE. •
The shopman of Mr. Gulby, the tailor, of Leicester*
street, Regent-street, proved that the prisoner came to b.
master's shop on Thursday, the 27th ult., and rep
himself to be the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, a cornet in the 4w
Royal Irish, adding that he was in want of some article.
of dress. He then bespoke a top-coat, a dress-coat, •"c°
pairs of coloured pantaloons, &c. The prisoner called
AO
horseback the next day, and after fitting on a top-cat
value nine guineas, said he thought it would snit him, and

took it away.
Mr. Harmer, who appeared for the prisoner, asked die
witness if he did not tell the prisoner that it would be
time enough to pay for the coat when the rest of the older
was completed? The witness denied that be had said rwi
and added, that the prisoner directed the goods to be sent
to the Toy Hotel, Hampton-court, saying that. he .tssl
stopping close to the estate of Mr. Hughes Ballo at Oat'
Janos'
Mr. HALLS said, it would be necessary for some
F petto°
to prove that the prisoner was not the Hon. H. itzroys
whom be had represented himself to be.
Mr. Harmer said, that the prisoner himself had nee'
tived that assertion, by stating that his name was S'Yerg'
The Magistrate, howeier, said he would require °the(
evidence as to that fact.
A laceman, who lives in the neighbourhood of Corot'
garden, deposed, deposed that the prisoner was not the
Hon. H. Fitzroy with whose person he was acquainted.
Mr. Eddies (the hosier) and his shopman were then
bound over to appear against the prisoner; as was also th°
shoptnan of Mr. Gelby. his
The prisoner, who still kept his handkerchief to --
face, was Olen fully committed for trial.
The follocring singular account of himself and of the tic' •
cutnstances which he states have led to his present siOloi
tion, was communicated by the prisoner to the chapisigt,
Tothill-fields prison, in the presence of ,other gendeni`-'
soon after he was removed from the bar yesterday. • for'
The prisoner stated that he attributed all his inisi°;
tune, to an affair of honour, in which he had been involvc`:
and which had unfortunately led to another duel, in wilic7
like the first, his antagonist had fallen. Some years, I
be said, lie had a brother at school at Tiverton, in Do:f '

his companions named Haddan. The wound was 11,01;;,
and his brother died. About three years ago chance -L,
