'KEY Sor.omoNs.—This morning having been appointed
for the public examination of Mrs. Solomons and her asso-
ciates, the office was crowded to excess at an early hour by
tradesmen of every description, anxious to get a glimpse at
the prisoners, and the mass of property recently discovered
at a notorious receptacle in Petticoat-lane, Whitechapel.
The three prisoners, Ann Solomons, Moses, her son,
and Clara Brown, the servant girl, were placed at the bar.
On account of some delay in bringing the prisoners to
the Office, a report was current that an attempt at rescue
had been made. This, however, afterwards appeared to
be without foundation.
The evidence of Linibrick, Edwards, Lloyd, and other
officers, were then taken, and was in substance as follows :
—That on the morning of Wednesday last they went to
the house of Ikey Solomon, 14,t Bell-lane, and in the first
and second floors found the various articles of property pro-
duced, consisting of eight watches, velvets, silks, three
large • treble gold chains, shawls, wearing-apparel,
&c., &c. ; and on a sort of artificial ledge or cornice,
a brown paper parcel, containing 566 counterfeit sove-
reigns. The ledge en which they were found was very
dusty, but the parcel itself was free from dust, and appeared
to have been recently placed there. Two of the watches,
and a great portion of the silk and lace was found conceal-
ed under the flooring of the bed-room, as before described,
and of which Mrs. Solomons denied any knowledge;
but five gold watches, the valuable chains, a large quantity
of velvet, and many other articles, found in a chest of
drawers on the first floor, were claimed by her as her pri-
vate property, and purchased of various tradesmen who
would come forward. Of the parcel of base coin, she also
denied the slightest knowledge.
The whole of the property was now produced, and exa-
mined by a host of respectable tradesmen, who had at
various times been robbed.
A young man, in the service of Mr. Beauchamp, a
pawnbroker, in Holborn, immediately identified a silver
watch as having been stolen from his master's shop, but he
could not speak distinctly as to the time, their window
having been cut, and watches stolen on three several oeca-
;lions in the month of December last.

Mr. S. Copestake, lace-merchant, of No. 7, Cheapside,
identified a quantity of lace and\ lace caps. He said his
premises had been broken into between the 6th and Bth of
last January, (a Sunday intervening,) and plundered of a
great deal of property, of which the lace he had now iden-
tified formed a part. Another portion of the lace was also
found in April last, at a house in the New North Road,
where Ikey Solomons resided under the assumed name of
Jones. He (Mr. Copestake), was under recognizance, to
prosecute Ikey at the time of his escape.
A geld mourning ring was also identified by a lady
named Laing, as one amongst many articles of jewellery that
had been stolen from her husband's premises in Stamford-
street, but no other part of the property was spoken posi-
tively to, although strictly scrutinized.
Mr. Sergeant SELLOW wished to know whether the
watch sworn to as having been stolen from Mr. Beau-
champ's shop was once of those owned by Mrs. Solomons?
Limbrick said it was.

Mr. HUMPHRIES, for the prisoners, submitted that he
could produce bills and receipts for all the property claimed
by Mrs. Solomons ; but at present all the papers found
were detained by the officers. He also submitted there
was no case against the son or the servant.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON said, every facility should be af-
forded for the prisoner's defence on a future day, if that
was what Mr. Humphries required. At present he could
not liberate either of the parties implicated.—They were
then remanded until Tuesday next.
