POLICE.

Wonsan, svnexT.—Yesterday J. Legion, 2111211
Brown, was fully committed, charged by Mrs. Oak-
ley with having uttered to her in payment a forged
one. pound Bank-note, also by Mrs. Roach, of Tot-
tenham Court-road, with having • uttered to her a
A 2 forged note.
G. W. Morris underwent an examination, upon
three charges of forgery. The first was preferred by
Mr. Selwyn, an upholsterer, in the London-road, who.
stated, that the prisoner came to his house in January
lust, and represented himself to be a prisoner in the

ment by bribing tl,e gaolers ; that having about 20
beds in the Bench, which he was accustomed to let
to different prisoners, he wanted some blankets. He
had previously purchased and paid for about £lo
worth of goods. Upon getting this order the prose-
cutor went for a reference to the prison, where he
was told that the prisener was the richest man in the
prison, and th at he was worth :€9OOO. Satisfied with
this account, he suffered the prisoner to take about
sfisB worth of blankets, in payment of which he gave
him an acceptance 4453,,0f persons of the name of
R. Coster and Co. Bread-street, Bristol, which he
said was as good as the Bank's, and that every one
in the bill way knew them. He was accordingly
prevailed upon to take it, but it turned out that no
such pet sons as Richard Coster and Co. were in ex-
istance. When the bill was returned to him he went
to the prison, and demanded payment ; but he
laughed at him, and said lie would bed--d if he would
pay him. The prosetuter never had the means of
proving, by lir i lig testimony,that no such persons as the
prima
_facie acceptors of the bill were in existence until
yesterday, when he ascertained it, by the evidence of
Mrs. Lane, the wife of a tradesman in Holborn.—
The prisoner was committed on this charge. The
i
cener two charges were of a similar nature ; the one
a forgery of a check for £25 on the banking house
of Messrs. Anderson and Co. in Philpot-lane, and
the other in the name of Castor and Co. upon both of
which he was also committed. A great many other
charges were pending, but the Magistates declined
entering into them.
DARING ROBRERY.—Saturday last. a little past
noon, as Mr. F. Hamill, one of the proprietors of a
brick yard, on the bank of the Royal Canal, near
Richardstown, was 'crossing the bridge over the
canial, near Abbotstown, he was puled off his horse
by two footpads, and robbed This pocket book, con-
taining 490 in bilk of exchange. He immediately rr.de
off to the Police Office, Dublin, where he met Mr. Ri-
chardson, chief constable, who went in search of the
rubbers. In the mean time Mr. Saunders, Inspec-
torof the Royal Canal, got all the men in the brick.
yard to assist in the pursuit. The expedient of tiring
a shot in the demesne of Abbotstown was resorted to,
which had the effect of alarming one of the robbers,
who started from his concealment, and run near a
mile, when he was taken and made prisooer. Mr.
Hamill's pocket-hook was found, with the before-
mentioned property, and shortly after Sir E. Stanley
and a pasty of theTolice arrived, who committed the
prisoner to Kihnaiuliam. The other robber escaped.
but is well known. What is extraordinary, the man
who is in custody has lived, for eight years, in the
house of Mr. Abbott, and has borne a good charac-
ter ; so that want had no share in prompting him to
the ileinnus offence he has committed.
