Bow-ST=7o—On Monday evening a young man,
of very genteel appearance, dined at the Cecil-curet
Coffee-house, in the Strand, and gave the waiter in
payment a 101. Bank Note. Mr. Cox, the landlord,
sent a porter out to get change, who went to Mr.
Burnell, the grocer's, in the. Strand. Mr. Burnell,
after examining the note, discovered it to apswer the
description of a similar one that had been traced to
him by the Inspector of the Bank, a few hours before,
and which hid been altered from 11. to 101. This
inditiced him to send for Mr. Cox, to whom he com-
municated the circumstance. They then went to tl.e
Gentleman in the coffee-room, and, after some con-
versation, he was induced to accompany them to
Bow-street.
On the charge against him being made known.
Anthony took him into a room to search him, and
found a pocket-book, containing a 6ve, a two, and a
one pOund Batik Notes., with three seven shilling
pieces; also a ticket for the Montreil Assembly, for
the present year and the next, upon which two ex-
periments had been tried for making the words TEN
in imitation of those used on the Bank, Nytes, in the
body of the Note, and at the left corner, with the
black ground, In his coat pcicket he fOund a loaded
pistol.
While Anthony was, searching him, when he
spoke, he appeared to have a great impediment in
his speech, and the. Officer desired him to open his
mouth, which he refused to do ; on. which Anthony
seized l,im by the wind-pipe, for Ced him to open his
mouth, and took from it a parcel of paper, which
proved to be four Notes of a similar descriptipn to
that he had offered to Mr. Cox, but in an unfinished
state. The large word ONE, at the left-hand corner'
had been taken off by a composition or. some other
process, and the outlines of the word TEN, slni/ar to
those made on Bank Notes, was substituted.. The
word TEN in the body of the. Notes was complete, and
an s Was added to the word POUND, equal to the en-
graving, but the word ONE at the torof the Notes
was not taken off.
The prisoner underwent an examination before Mr.
READ. The note which he uttered to Mr. C.2x was
produced; it had been cut in two, throth, the word
' " One," at the top of the note, and joined toge&ber by
a thick piece Of paper, and three wafers-,one of them
1 was put on the part where the word one" was, at
the top of the note, to prevent any appearance of the
obliteration of the word. Every person who' saw it
Observed, that they should have taken it without sus-
picion, as did Mr. Burnell, had it not been for the cir-
cumstance of the Inspector of the Bank having traced
ope to have passed through. his handy, and pointed
out the alterations. After the Inspector of the Bank
had been with Mr: Burnell, on Monday afternoon, he
called upon Anthony to givelim inforiiiation of the
circumstance, 'and describe the man who was suppqsed
to be uttering them--on the prisoner coining to the
office, Anthony found him to answer tie description -
given by the Inspector, and which wits the cause of
his searching him in such a particulie Manner—sus-
pecting that he had some something cancesd,edtn his
mouth.
•Mr. READ asked the prisoner what he had tp say
for himself ? He said his name was Richard Holmes,
but declined saying what het was, where he lived, or
making any defence to the charge—hut offered to find
unexceptionable bail to ant amount, which, of course;
could* not be taken-7-and he *as coin foe itted fun*

MeaLatiiouciu-overir.---A gang Of cpineri and
utterers of base money have, for some time paste infes-

It appeared, that the prisoner, who 'ii a very young

off the same 'flick upon the unwary' ihopkeiliers at

The prisoner, during a long investigation, conducted
herself with the greatest confidence, and positively de-
nied all the facts alleged against her.' She was re-
manded for a further examination.
QuEEN-Soueni,—Yesterday Mary Heywood was .
brciugl,t up, charged on, suspicion of stealing a valu-
able diamond ring, the property of Mi. Harwood at
Chelsea, who stated that the prisoner came to his shop
on the I VI; of March last; and after having looked
it various articles, requested part of thein to be put
away for her, as she that afternoon was to receive
1:01, and would come the following day to pay for
them; in the mean while the ring was missing, and,
from her pot returning according to promise, strong
cion
suspi fell upon her. On Monday last Mr. Har-
wood accidentally met her in St. James's. Earle; she
endeatrqured to avoid him, and make off, but was

was ceunstltted for another hearing.

up, charged wlth having, under a false pretence, en-
ticici a Young lad, tamed Dickens, who is employed
