M.k/tYLEBON'E.

Frederick or James Burn, alias Davison, was
brought up to answer a charge preferred against.
him by Mr. Hocken, of Great Portland-street.
It appeared that the prisoner called at Mr. Hoc-
ken's, under pretence of looking at the apartments,
which he was employed to engage for an uncle and
servant, and being shewn into the front parlour,
while the servant called her mistress, who was up
stairs, he proceeded to ransack a cupboard of some
plate contained in it, but was overheard by a lad in
the adjoining room, who contrived adroitly to lock
him in till his mistress came down, when, an officer
being sent for, it was found he had replaced the
property in the cupboard, but in a very confused
state, and being known to the officer as a bad cha-
racter, he was brought to this office.
Mrs. Collard, of Great Castle-street, also identi-
fied the prisoner as having stolen a pair of sugar-
tongs from her house under similar circumstances,
some time since.

The prisoner was remanded till Friday next, to
give an opportunity for further charges being brought
against him.
He is a young man, about tire feet eight inches
high, dark sallow complexion, a quantity of black
hair fashionably dressed about his face, wears a dark
olive-green coat, and fawn-coloured trousers, with
light shoes.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday Thomas Lloyd was brought up for final
examination before Mr. MARRIOTT, charged with
being concerned in the late daring burglary, at the
Bull and Mouth Inn, when Government stamps to
an immense amount were stolen. The examination
of the prisoner has been hitherto strictly, private.
Mr. Timms, a solicitor, from the Stamp-office, at-
tended for the prosecution, and Mr. Wooler for the
prisoner.
Mr. Timms addressed Mr. Marriott, and said, that
he had not been able to bring forward any further
evidence against the prisoner, but he submitted there
was quite sufficient already produced to send him
for trial.

Mr. MARRIOTT desired the clerk to read the evi-
dence over which was taken on the first examination.
William Dutton stated, that he closed the beok-
ing-office at the Bull and Mouth Inn at ten o'clock
at night, on the 3d September ; the packages of
stamps were then in the office.
John 'Blisset stated, that about half-past five
o'clock on the following morning, he opened the
office, and saw several boxes out of their places.
There was a hole in the floor, and, on examination,
he found three bales of stamp.; out of eight missing.
John Edwards, guard to one of the Worcester
coaches, stated, that on the morning of the robbery
he tried to light the gas, but found that the pipes
had been injured and a quantity had escaped ; he
went into the stables, which are under the office,
and lead into Bull and Mouth-street; he found the
corn-hinn had been removed, and the stables broken
opea ; there «as a hole broke through the flooring
above the stables.

This witness produced several bags,, which were
found over the windows in the office, it is supposed
to prevent the thieves from being seen; also a crow-
bar, a handkerchief, and a bludgeon, found in the
stables.

Thomas Salmon, a packer at the Stamp-office,
proved that the packages of stamps produced were
the same he had packed on the 2d of September.
Mr. Thomas Allen, belonging to the Stamp-
office, stated, that on the 2d of September eight
packages of stamp's were sent to the Bul and Mouth
Inn, directed "on his Majesty's service," to Mr.
Blackburn, the stamp-distributor at Manchester; the
next morning he was informed that three of the
packages had been stolen.
Thomas Ranger, a porter at the Bull. and Mouth
Inn, stated that he was frequently in the habit of
going to the Sta Mp-office. The packages were de-
livered to him as directed, and placed in the office
under a desk which was about five yards from the
hole which had been made by the thieves in the floor.
William Woodberry, an officer of this establiSh-
ment, stated that he stepped the prisoner at Ken-
sington about half-past 12 o'clock on Monday, the
22d December, driving a horse and cart, with two
