• CU k lOUS CI R CUNISTA NCE.—As Mr. C. Lamb,
shopitean to a pa -enbroker, ill, Holborn, was
' ' coming Out of the Old Bailey Sessious House, on
'lsimursday afternoon, where he had been attending
to give evidence on a trial, io passing- througi: the
crowd he was robbaal of his watch. Two bolos
after Lis return home, and whilst deploring •Itia
loss to his tel a matt came into one
Of the private boxes and offered him a watch ta.
Pledgeo:demanding three pouuds on it. ' On Mr.
Lamb's Jookiog at the watch he immediately re-
cognized it tt.-iThe the wa;ch lie was robbed of, and
in extacy turned romad to his companions to tell
them of his, gmomd fortune ; the fellow took advan-
tage of thia,-..rmiroed out at the private 'door and
ran away ; a pursuit immediately took place, but
from the number of persons passing, and being
dark, lie effected his escape.
Tura Munosot AT 1-LoaT.-03 Tuesday last the
Coroner's Inquest resumed its sitting, and email
need its investigation till a very late hour, where
an ildjonritment took place to the following day at
ten o'clock. A great number of witnesses were
examined; and at night anw her adjournment
took place to yesterday moraing , when the
sitting was aga4u resumed. To a late hour
there appeared no signs of the termitia-
tion of this important inquiry ; and we ab-
stain, from motives of impartiality towards the
• person accused, from giving publicity to the va-
rious rumours now afloat. The inquest is held at
the Red Lion—the -house where the dece‘ased
had been, and from which he was returning, at
the' moment of his assassination. The utmost
anxiety is excited throughout the neighbourhood,
as to the verdict of the Jury—it is an anxiety
in which the cry for- vengeance on the marderer
is the roost predomivant. The Gentry of the
adjacent comm.), ha ve acted with commendable
activity in endeavouring to obtain a satisfactniv
result to the imiTin-y—amongst whom may be es-
pecially noticed T. C. Dod, Eat'. of Edge, and the
Rev. Mr. Garnett, of Tilston. George Thomas, the
Wall suspected, was on Monday lodged in time Lit ide -
well, at Wrexham, till time brealtiog up of the
inquest. Vie staved last week, that Mrs. Harri-
son, the widow of the deceased, " distinctly saw
the face of a man :" the fact is, it was the back
and not the fare of the man which she saw, awl
to the identity of- which site speaks positively.
The shot used by the assassin was of the largest
class of dock-shot, intermixed with others three
sizes smaller ; and it is thought not above a dozers
of the whole discharge escaped the deceased's
head, and those struck against the opposite wall.—

SWINDLER —TiThrt4day afternoon, Benjamin
Francis, a Jew, from London, called at the shop
of Mr. Cripps, jeweller, Stall-street, and selected
a gold wateh, for which he offered 30 guineas .;
the shopman was not prepared to make the dc- .
duct ion, in the absence of Mr. C. (the watch being
marked 351.) ; however, Francis requested
that it might be put by for him, and he would.
call the next day, and bring - tne money: He
did so ; aural told Mr. Cripps that he was com-
missioned to look wit a gold watch with appen-
dages, and provided Mr. C. would take 30 g'. for
the watch be would lay hint; this being agreed
• to, he looked out a chain and seals. amounting to
181. which together came to 4)1. 10 . His com-
mission, he said, only amounted to 4SI. HMI if
Mr. Cripps would take that stall, -he would
go to his friend, mid get a check for the amount,
leaving strict orders for the bill to be made out itt
the name of Mr. James Johnson, and the articles
to be carefully made a parcel of. About half-past
six he returned with the check, drawn on Sir B.
Hobliouse and Co. Mr. Cripps suspecting it,
immediately gave it to his young man to go to
the private entraocc of the Bank, and hirriire if it
was good. Francis observed that the check was
very good, and Mr. Cripps might rely ot: its being
punctually paid ; but followed the lad to the door,.
and snatched the check out of his nand; Mr.Crippa
then sent for an officer ; and F. was conveyed to
tile, Guildhall, and the check taken from him,
which lie had torn in pieces ; but after much diffi-
culty it was made perfect. 1-le was on Saturday
committed by the Mayor for trial. lie had in his
possession a large cane with a sword in it, seve-
ral flints, Sus. and triplicates of several watches.---
