LOTS, ALTOGETHER ELEVEN HUNDRED and SE-
VEN ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD; also the MANORIAL
RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. The tenantry are unexception.
able, and the quality of the soil not to be surpassed throughout
Devon. There are 100 ACRES of WOODS and PLANTA-
TIONS, with the entire village of COLLATON, Three Miles
from Torquay.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to offer
...... to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Seven Stars Hotel,
Totness, Devonshire, on SATURDAY, September 3, at One o'clock
most punctually, and in Lots,
EACH FARM TO FORM A SEPARATE LOT,

A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
which, it may be stated, stands alone
THROUGHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS AN
INVESTMENT WHEREIN DOUBT AND UNCER.
TA INTY ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED.

And it is fortunately without the alloy of a mansion and its conse
quent expense. It comprehends altogether about

ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN ACRES
Of MEADOW, PASTURE, ORCHARD, and WOOD LANDS,
DIVIDED INTO CONVENIENT FARMS,

which are most respectably occupied at rents capable of very consi.
derallle increase; indeed, on the determination of the leases, at
LEAST 2,000/, A.YEAR, MAY BE CONTEMPLATED

FOR THE WHOLE.
The property will be divided as follows :
Lot 1. The Manor of Collaton Kirkham, with a Farm of 447
Acres, a good farm-house, and all requisite buildings, called Blagdon
Barton. The land includes some fine orchrding, and the soil is
so rich that the best bullecks at Smithfield may be traced from-
Paynton. The tenant is a first-rate Yeoman. Mr. Searle would
never condescend to ask for or receive any abatement. It is called
the Pet Farm of the property, and the estimated value is 600
guineas a-year.

Lot 2. Collaton Farm and Buildings, with 217 Acres of on.
commonly fine land. It is a capital Sheep Farm, with fine Wheat
Land, and good Orcharding.
Lot 3. Lower Yalherton Farm, and 304 Acres of rich land. A
Sheep and Corn Farm. Gabriel Jackson, the tenant, is a scientific
farmer, and a man of wealth.
Lot 4. Whitehill, a new and very compact farm-house and
buildings, with 132 Acres of good land. Mr. Elliott is the respect.
able tenant.

Also, in six smaller Lots, the Royal Oak Inn, the Parker Arms
Besides this

THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES
THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.

Of the situation of this estate it would be difficult to speak in
adequate terms. Dartmouth and Totness are close at hand, and
Exeter within a drive of two hours, and

THE METROPOLIS OF LONDON WITHIN EIGHT
HOURS' RIDE.

THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN, AND
THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON
THE ESTATE.

Tim Markets everywhere are very favourable to the Farmers.
THE UNRIVALLED DART

winds its rapid and circuitous course through
WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY,
and presents a constant accession of fresh delight.
THE PACKET STATION,

it is said, is finally fixed at Dartmouth. There is
A MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS

which will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land is
unsurpassable. The produce from the meadow land
EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,
while the corn lands produce from four to five quarters of wheat
and barley. It has beside 10 Acres of new orchard and 16 of woods
and plantations.

Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of a most de.
sirable investment,

FIRST-RATE CLOTHING.—By first-rate is
understood that high gentlemanly character of CLOTH-
ING, to obtain which it has hitherto been found necessary to
pav extravagantly high prices, hut is now well known can be
obtained from the Pantechnetheca Tailoring and Outfitting
Establishment, 36, GRACECHURCH-STREET, CITY,
L. HYAM, Proprietor. The largest and most splendid in the
world at the under-mentioned charges, warranted equal in
every respect, as regards quality, style, and fashion, to any
emanating from the most fashionabl.e houses at the West-end,
where those who pay prompt are obliged to suffer for persons
who take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very
extensive establishments, advantageously situated in the principal
manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at com-
mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations
of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a
great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him
to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for
cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but
one system in selling, charging a uniform per tentage, the lowest
ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour
him with their confidence and commands will receive the full
benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of
goods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first-
rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The
Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock
of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept
on hand, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the
best possible manner: and he can say, without exception,
that he is the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats
being manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
Frederick Howe, '24, pleaded
guilty to a charge of
stealing 236 printed books, the property of her
Majesty.
Mr. Adolphus was instructed for the Crown, and
in answer to a question from the Court, the Learned
Counsel stated that the prisoner was the son of a person
ethployed in the office of the Board of Trade, and by
this means he had access to the officp, and took ad-
vantage of this to steal the property in questicn, which
coasisted of various printed returns for the use of
the office, and which were, of course, of considerable
value.

The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be kept
to hard labour for twelve months.

A prisoner named Thomas Huntly, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing some pieces of cloth,
the property of his master, applied to the Court to
order the restitution of some letters that had been
taken from him by the policeman who took him into
custody.

The RECORDER asked what was the nature of the
papers, and whether :they had anything to do with
the charge made against the prisoner ?
The constable, one of the City police, said they
were merely private letters.
The RECORDER, with some warmth, inquired why,
as this was the case, they were detained ? In the
first place they had nothing to do with the charge
against the prisoner, and they ought to have been
produced in Court, and delivered up to him.
The policeman said, the course was to send such
things to the chief office, where the description of
them was entered in a book, and upon the expiration
of a prisoner's sentence, he could get them, by making
application for them.
The RECORDER—So that if a person is transported,
the property is taken, and may never more be heard
of. It is the duty of an officer who may take any
property from a prisoner, to produce it at the trial,
and any officer who does not do so, shall not have his
expenses, and I will take care that a representation of
the fact shall be made in the proper quarter.

The papers were then produced, and handed to the
prisoner.

NEW COURT.

(Before Mr. Commis doper BULLOCK and Mr. Alder-
man HOOFER.)
Henry Gamble and James Johnson, two exceed-
ingly well dressed young men, were indicted for
stealing, on the 16th August, twelve handkerchiefs,
value 51., the property of agentleman residing in Corn -
hill, named Silver. From the evidence of one of the
prosecutor's shopmen, it appeared that on the day in
question the two prisoners came to the shop of Mr.
Silver and requested to look at some stockings and
cravats, which were shown them. From what the
shopman-hoticed during the time the prisoners were
in the shop, he was induced to follow them, hut they
made off, and the witness missed twelve handker-
chiefs, value Si.

The Jury acquitted the prisoners of this charge.
The prisoners were again indicted for stealing, on
the same day, eight cravats, value 11., the property of
Henry Drew May, a hosier in Newgate-street.
From the evidence of a person named Barnes, who
was in the employ of the prosecutor, it appeared that
the prisoners, on the day in question, came to the
shop of his master under the pretence of purchasing
some articles, and while Gamble was looking at the
goods Johnson took that opportunity of purloining
the cravats. In consequence of the suspicions of the
shopman, the prisoners were followed, and on being
taken into custody the property was found on Gamble.
The Jury found both prisoners guilty, and the
COURT sentenced them to nine months' imprisonment
and hard labour in the Giltspur-street Compter, the
Learned Judge stating that had the prisoners been
known
themould havee felt it to be his duty to have
passed
sentence of transportation.
Daniel Trindell was convicted of stealing two sove-
reigns, the property of John Hay. From the sd uponhe should
t
evi-
dence, it appeared that tie prosecutor and prisoner
slept in the same room at Bedford ; and that, while
the former was asleep, the latter committed the theft.
The COURT sentenced the prisoner to six months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
Mary Powell, a well dressed young woman, was
indicted with stealing six pairs of stockings, a silk
scarf, and a variety of other articles, the property of
the Rev. Stewart bvelyn Foster, of Lewisham, whose
cook and housekeeper she was.
Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantyne deferded the prisoner.
From the evidence on the part of the prosecution,
it appeared that a few weeki ago the attention of the
prosecutor, and some of his servants, was called to-
wards the prisoner, in consequence of her locking her
room door, and putting the key in her rocket, which
was not her custom before her return from Lincoln-
shire, where she had been with her master and mis-
tress. One of the witnesses stated that on Sunday,
the ith of August, she saw the prisoner go several
times to the water-closet, where some articles were
afterwards found to be concealed. Another witness
stated that, without the knowledge of any one,
she procured another key, and went into the prisoner's
room to make a search, but she never made her dis-
covery known to the prosecutor and his wife until the
Bth of August In the interval, however, it appeared
that owing to some whisperings among the servants,
the prisoner went on the 6th of August to her mis-
tress, and complained that her fellow servants had
conspired against her, and demanded that her boxes
should be searched, which was not done.

The prosecutor and, his lady identified some of the
articles produced as their property, which were found
in the box of the prisoner.
Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the Jury for the
prisoner at some length.
The Jury, after considerable hesitation, and retiring
for nearly half an hour, returned a verdict of guilty,
at the same time strongly recommending her to
mercy.
The COURT deferred passing sentence, in order to
enable the prisoner's attorney to get several witnesses
from the country to give her a character.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
_MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

ORGANISED SYSTEM OF INFAMOUS EXTORTION.—
About ten days ago a highly-respectable gentleman
named Churchill was held to bail by Mr. Maltby, on
the evidence of a low-looking person, who gave the
name of Wm. Fitzgerald, for an alleged act of inde-
cency in Hyde Park. Owing to some circumstances
which transpired after the parties were bound over,
Mr. Maltby was induced to pursue the inquiry fur-
ther, and having elicited sufficient to show that in
some material parts the only witness, Fitzgerald, had
perjured himself, the circumstances were ordered to
be taken down in writing, in order to accompany the
depositions. One of the old police, Ruthven, was en-
gaged on the part of Mr. Churchill to follow up the
inquiry, and the result was that yesterday Fitzgerald
and a young man named Newstead were placed at the
bar before Mr. Maltby under these circumstances :
Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for Mr. Churchill, said
the Magistrate would probably have it in recollection
that Fitzgerald, one of the two parties then at the bar,
had a few days back preferred in that Court a charge
against Mr. Churchill, a very respectable gentleman,
and another man, not present, of having been together
in Hyde Park the previous night under suspicious cir-
cumstances. On the evidence of Fitzgerald, the Ma-
gistrate had thought fit to send the case for trial.
Without referring to the fact of Fitzgerald's false repre-
sentation, in order to stamp his character with respecta-
bility, that he was a porter in the employ of Messrs.
Sutton and Shepherd, or relying upon Fitzgerald's
denial of all knowledge of Newstead, he should
merely remark that Mr. Churchill, feeling restless
both in mind and body, thought fit to take further
steps, by which he had obtained such evidence as he
hoped would satisfy the Court that the charge against
him was a foul conspiracy, and that a gang of persons
were in existence whose employment was to get up

and manufacture charges of an odious characte:
against respectable persons for the sole purpose of ex-
torting money. He should be enabled to prove that
Fitzgerald had been tried at Horsemonger-lane for
criminal offence, and had been sentenced to seven
years' transportation. He had made his escape from
his sentence, and he (Mr. Clarkson) now charged him
with felony on that ground. Now, with respect to
the assertion on the part of• Fitzgerald that he knew
nothing whatever of Newstead, and had neve: seen
him until the night when the a11e6,-ed occurrence took
place in Hyde-park—
Fitzgerald—And I say so now. I never saw him
before that night.
Mr. Clarkson -.would be able to prove that the par-
ties were well acquainted ; that . they had been to-
gether during the evening, and that they had lived
together•in the same house in Denzell-street, before
the time when Newstead entered into the society of
Mr. Churchill, under the sham pretence of asking his
way out of the Park.
Fitzgerald—l say the man who was in Mr.
Churchill's company is nothing like this :man ; he is
much lustier. I've known that man about two months,
but as to knowing anything of this man before the
night when I saw him in Hyde-park, I had no more
knowledge of him than I have of the Queen of
England.
Mr. Clarkson—He should call a witness to prove
that on one occasion, Fitzgerald said to Mr. Churchill,
" The next time you are here I'll have Newstead, the
man you was with in the park."
Fitzgerald—l said I'd have Macarthy, the lawyer.
Mr. Clarkson would also proceed to show that
Fitzgerald belonged to an organised and systematic
gang, whose infamous livelihood was procured by
trumping up odious charges against respectable per-
sons.

Mr. J. Ellis Churchill was then called and exa-
mined—Lived at No. 44, Great Marlborough-street.
Was in the house of Ellis and Everington, St. Paul's
Churchyard. Was nephew of Mr. Ellis, the Member
for Leicester. After leaving business was in the
habit of walking in Hyde Park when the evening was
fine. Took a walk about a quarter before nine on the
11th August in Hyde Park, and was returning home
by the path that cuts obliquely towards Oxford-
street, when a young man, touching his hat politely,
accosted him about 300 yards from the gate, and
begged to be directed the nearest way to the City.
Witness gave him the information, and the young
man continued to walk by his side for about 20 yards,
when the other man,, Fitzgerald, came up, and ac-
cusing witness of indecent conduct, said, " You
beast, or brute, what are you doing with that fellow
You have been acting indecently." Witness, in a
moment of indignation, raised his stick to knock his
accuser down.

Mr. Clarkson—Had you committed or participated
in any indecent act ? Mr. Churchill—Most certainly
not. After Fitzgerald made the charge, he said wit-
ness must go to the station-house. Witness raised his
stick to knock Fitzgerald down, upon which the other
one laid hold of his arm, and said, "It is of no use:,
you had better go quietly." Witness answered, " I
see it is no use to• make resistance. I will go with
you." The prisoner Fitzgerald laid hold of witness's
collar, and the other man walked about 20 yards be-
hind. Fitzgerald looked back, and said, " That other
fellow appears to keep near to us." When near Mi-
vart's Hotel, witness requested tO, be allowed to call
upon. a friend. Fitzgerald said, " Very well, but
what security can you give that yon will come back?"
Witness said, " I have only my stick and a few shil-
lings." At that moment, seeing a policeman, witness
said, " Here is a policeman, and now here is an end
of this." Fitzgerald appeared desirous of avoiding
the police, but seeing witness resolute, he seized wit-
ness, and dragged him towards the constable. While
on their way to the station-house, Fitzgerald told
witness he had been watching him about three-quar-
ters of an hour. Witness was locked up on the
charge, and the next day on being brought befere the
Magistrate, was held to bail. On the same evening,
witness gave Fitzgerald into custody for assaulting
him in the Park. When leaving the office, Fitz-
gerald said, in a menacing manner, " You shall have
Newstead, the man you were with in the Park, be-
fore you to-morrow morning."
Mr. Clarkson—Now, Mr. Churchill, look at that
young man, Newstead, and say if you have the
slightest doubt in the world that he is the person who
accosted you in the Park. Mr. Churchill—l have
not the slightest doubt about the matter. The pri-
soner, Newstead, is the man who spoke to me.
Mr. C. Wallis said he knew Mr. Churchill to be a
gentleman of unquestionable respectability. Was
present when Fitzgerald was given into custody for
an assault upon Mr. Churchill, and heard him say in
a threatening manner to Mr. Churchill that he would
have Newstead forward the next morning, out of re-
venge for having been given into custody. He added,
that he had met with Newstead accidentally that af-
ternoon.

Police constable, 9 143, Lister, said he heard Fitz-
gerald use the same expressions.
Ellen Thorn lived at 15, Denzell-street. The pri-
soner Fitzgerald lived in the same house since May
last, but went by the name of Stringer. He lived
with a man who was committed from Bow-street that
day named Fitzgerald. Had seen the prisoner New-
stead frequently in Stringer's company. They used
to go out together. Had seen Newstead come to
Stringer since last May about three times a week.
Witness was certain of Ne wstead's identity. She did
not know his name, but had noticed him on account
of his smart dress and gentlemanly appearance.
Elizabeth Fitzgerald gets her living by selling
things in the street. The young man at Bow-street
this day was her son. The prisoner Fitzgerald was
no relation whatever. Had given the prisoner Fitz-
gerald a character, when he was tried for taking a
purse from a gentleman's footman at Camberwell, at
Horsemonger-lane. The prisoner was transported
for seven years, under the name of Stringer. This
was about four years ago. He came back last March,
and stated that his time had been given up on account
of his good behaviour. When witness saw him at the
Court this morning, she asked him how he came to
take her son's name. He said her son and he had
always passed as brothers. He then added if witness
told his real name he should be done.

Mr. Clarkson asked the old woman if she would
place herself under the care of an officer, to prevent
her from being tampered with before trial. The wit-
ness consented.
Policeman F 31 heard the conversation with
Stringer, relative to his being "done," if his real
name was disclosed.

Frederick Clark lived in Broad-street, Golden-
square. , Knew both prisoners well. Saw them in
company on the 11th of August, at six o'clock, near
Charing-cross. There were other persons with them.
Witness knew them all. Knew the young man—he
went by all sorts of names, one of them was New-
stead. The other prisoner sometimes went by the
name of " Bales Bill." The two prisoners were as-
sociates. Had been in their company frequently.
Newstead—Why, he is one of us. He robbed a
gentleman, named Bell, of a gold watch and ring in
Hyde Park.
Mr. Clarkson—How came you to know this ?
Newstead—l know it right well.
Mr. Clarkson--Your career, young man, is now
cut short.

Newstead—Then so ought this man's to be ; he is
the worst of any of the lot.
Mr. Clarkson begged to mention that Mr. Churchill
was de?irous of exonerating Inspector Plume from all
blame in objecting to send for proper assistance when
the charge was first brought to the station-house. Mr.
Churchill begged to thank the officers for the ready
assistance which he had met with.

Mr. MALTBY said he could bear testimony to the
good conduct of Inspector Plume.
Thomas Davis, town traveller, knew the prisoners
were associates. Newstead sometimes went by the
name of Smith.

Mr. Clarkson said here he would stop, having, as
he hoped, produced abundant evidence to induce the
Magistrate, for the furtherance of justice, to secure
the persons of the prisoners.
Mr. MALTBY—On what charge ?

Mr. Clarkson—That they, with a criminal purpose,
went together into Hyde Park, one to 'plant himself
on Mr. Churchill, and the other to find the parties
together, in order to charge them with the attempt
to commit an odious offence, and by this means to
extort money from Mr. Churchill. Had they suc-
ceeded in obtaining any money, it would have un-
doubtedly been robbery ; but, as they only took Mr.
Churchill into custody, it amounts to an assault with
an intent to commit robbery.
Mr. MALTBY-At some period or other ?
Mr. Clarkson—Yes; and if you think enough has
been shown to induce you to send the case to a jury,
I shall ask you to remand Fitzgerald, a returned
transport, the man who made the charge against Mr.
Churchill, which charge has been submitted to the
public, until I can have an opportunity of completing
the evidence. Mr. Churchill's character would have
been destroyed had it not been for the vigilance of the

officers. We want to take cars that Fitzgerald has
the means of making his charge against Mr. Churchill.
Fitzgerald—l have no charge to make.
Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoners if they wished to
say anything.
Fitzgerald answered in the negative, and Newstead
began to criminate the witnesses.
Ir. MALTBY said the association of the prisoners
was clearly provel, and he should therefore remand
them till f'riday next. • And here (said Mr. Maltby)
I will take the opportunity of expressing the deep
satisfaction I feel at the shape the case has taken, and
the ample means which Mr. Churchill possesses of
vindicating his character from what I now believe to
be a completely unfounded charge. It was only be-
cause the forms of the law had been completed thAt I
was debarred from releasing Mr. Churchill on the
former occasion from the charge.—The prisoners
were then remanded.
WORSHIP-STREET.

A young man, named George Henry Tucker, who
stated himself to he a porter in the service of Messrs.
Batley, o'l merchants in Barbican, was charged before
Mr. Broughton with having wilfully destroyed a copy
of the printed notice issued by Mr. Hall, the Chief
Magistrate, prohibitory of unlawfu and seditious
meetings.
Police Constable, N 184, stated that he was on duty
in the New North-road, Hoxton, on the preceding
afternoon, when he saw the prisoner str.nding amongst
a group ,of persons reading the notice, which was
posted on the side wall of the toll-house. The pri-
soner walked away when he had perused it ; but after
proceeding a few paces, he returned back, and delibe-
rately tore down the lower part of the bill, at the
same time exclaiming that it was " a mischievous
nuisance that ought to be pulled down. Witness
immediately took him into custody, upon which se
veral of the bystanders protested against his interfe-
rence, but the mere respectable portion of them ac-
companied him to the station-house, and cpnlauded
him for doing his duty.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied his
having been actuated by any factious motive in pulling
down the bill, and said he merely did it to supply
himself with a piece of waste paper, of which h.• ~-,tpp-
ened to be in want.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that the expressions he gave
utterance to on tearing down the notice were wholly
at variance with his present improbable statement,
and he should require the prisoner to enter into bl,•1
own recognizance in 501. to appear at the Sessions to
answer any charge that might be preferred against
him.
