Mr. Verq, and p for then... Site did not know Mr.
Wilmot ; she knew Mr. TieLbottrn as Mr. Tichbourn, and
understood him to be Mrs. Wihnot's cousin, and the goods
she took home were ordered about the 10th of this month.
Bucket idge reached Dover at 12 o'clock on Monday night,
and soon learned that Mrs. Wilmot was at the King's
Head hotel, accompanied by Mr. Titchbourn. He sent
word up to her at seven o'clock on Tuesday morning by
the chambermaid, that a person wanted to speak to her,
and after some time Mr. Titchbourn came down, and he
had one of the shirts belonging to Mr. Verey in his hand.
Buckeridge told bins he had a warrant to apprehend Mrs.
Wilmot under a charge of felony. Mr. Titchbourn said
ti ere was no felony committed. Buckeridge answered,
" I am instructed otherwise, and as circumstances are, I
think it my duty to take you back to London also." He
found in Mr. Titebbourn'a "pocket-book a French passport,
made out in the names of Mr. T. Titchbourn and Madame
Alherton ; and Mr. Titchbourn,'in Mrs. Wilmot's presence,
said that name was intended to represent her ; he likewise
fennd a Bank of England note for 301., which he returned
to him, and 17 trunks, portmanteaus, leather cases, &c.,
containing, 'with other articles more valuable, the golds
belonging to Mr. Moorwood and Mr. Verey. The packages
were marked, some with Mr. Titchbourn's name, and
others with the letters E. A., and he brought the whole
to London.
The charge made by Mr. Moorwood was considered by
Mr. EA WUNSON the most important, because the passport
was dated Feb. 20, one day previous to the purchase of
hie. goods lay Mrs. Wilmot, at the Bazaar, and they were
produced and identified ; and it was afterwards stated by
the young woman who attends the counter, that Mrs.
Wilmot wanted a music stand, and was referred to another
place, and she returned and said she bad seen one, at 275.,
but as she hail begun to deal with Mr. Moot wood, she
might as well continue to 6o so, and if be would make one
in the course of a week, at the same pike, he might send it.
Mr. Maltwood,' trunk-maker, Oxford-street, and Mr.
Green, shoe-maker, New Bond-street, had cemplainta to
make, but their witnesses were not present.

Mr. Joseph Avery, 53, New Bond-street, silversmith,
wished to state under what circumstances he received Iltre.
Wilmot and her luggage into his house on Sundty night.
He had knoivn her seven or eight years, and in conse-
quence of a message, he went, at one o'clock on Sunday,
to her house. She then returned four silver spoons she
had borrowed -of him, and told him she was very busy
packing up a quantity of things for Mr. Titchhourn, who
was going to Paris, and as he was very unaccustomed to
travel, she should see him off. She said she also was going
to her aunt's, over the water, meaning the Thames, and
asked hint to allow her to leave a portmanteau and a bag
at his house till she should call again, and he gave her
permission. At 10 o'clock on Sunday night Mr. Titch-
bourn came alone in a hackney-coach, and brought 12 or
14 packages, and Mr. Avery was surprised at the number.
About three quarters of an hour afterwards Mrs. Willmot
came in another coach, with more luggage, and at twelve
they went away, after they bad had boa e supper, iu two
other coaches.

Mr. RAwr.iNsON asked Mr. Avery where they went to,
and he replied, Piccadilly. Mr. Rawlinson asked him,
whether, as his house was in the direct road from the
Regent's Park to Piccadilly, he did nut think their bring-
ing so many parcels in two coaches there, and removing
them in others so soon, was a suspicious circumstance.
Why did not they take them on at once ?
Mr. Avery said it was suspicious, but he was deceived :
Mrs. Wilmot told him she tvas•going to her aunt's, and it
being so late, he offered her a bed, but she said her aunt
would sit up for her, and he was astonished afterwards to
find she slept at Webb's Hotel, and accompanied Mr.
Titchhourn on his journey.
Mr. Titchhourn occasionally interrupted the witnesses,
and said he was tinder peculiar obligations to the lady, in
consequence of her kindness to his mother on her death-
bed, and it was his duty to render her every service. He
added, that the step Mrs. Wilmot had taken was under the
advice of her friends, for her embarrassments rendered it
necessary that she should leave town fur a short time.
Mr. RAWLINSON told him, nobody in their senses would
advise an embarrassed woman to buy goods in a bazaar,
under a pretence of paying fur them, feign illness at night,
and set off for Paris the next day.
Mr. RAWLINSON then told Mts. Wilmot she was charg-
ed with felony.
Mrs. Wilmot requested:time to see her solicitor. She
said she had property in the Bank, and mentioned the
names of two highly respectable gentlemen, and a Colonel
in the Biitish setvice, as her It ustees.
Air. RaWI.INSON would, if site wished it, remand her
till Saturday, but in the mean time he must send her to
prison. She replied, " Very well, Sir," and tearing two
portraits from her bosom, she requested Mr. Rawlinson
to
take care of them, and her reticule, which contained a large
one of full length of herself and other propel ty ; and she
was permitted to retire to the magistrate's room till a coach
was procured to remove her to Clerkenwell. Mr. Titch-
bourn requested to be sent to prison also, for he did not
wish to be separated from the lady ; and he began a state-
ment which Mr. Rawlinson cut short, by observing that
he should not be justified in committing hint, but he must,
give bail for his appearance.
Mrs. Wilmot was accommodated with a chair the greater
part of the time, and she sipped water occasionally from a
mug which was placed before her. On two occasions her
feelings cnercame her, but she soon recovered herself.
