LAW AND POtIC-E.

Peter Hughes was charged at Lambeth-street on
Monday, with having falsely represented himself as the
Rev. Arr. Cavanagh, parish priest in Ireland, and ob-
taining subscriptions to a considerable amount to
assist him in building a Catholic chapel in his parish
(Wexford). The imposition appears to have been
carried on to a large extent, and the prisoner was re-
manded till Saturday next, to obtain further infor-
mation.
Wm. Thomas was on Monday charged at Thames-
street, with stealing property, valued at 1001., from
Messrs. Hallett and Co., woollen-drapers, at Ratcliff.
He was committed for trial for the felony.
On Monday, John Osborn, a waiter at. the Three
Tuns tavern, Southwark, was committed for trial, for
robbing his employer to a considerable amount.
