MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE-

Jona Thwite, a young man of respectable exterior, was examined
before }:ow.san extrema, Esq. the Magistrate, charged with in-
numerable acts of fraud and felony, committed in different parts of
the metropolis. Not less than forty different tradesmen were in at-
tendance, who had suffered front the artful practices of this accom-
plished swindler.
Mr. Gurnrna said, that there were two eases of felony upon
which be should examine him, as the evidence in these cues, he un-
derstood, was completely in proof of the offences.
Mr. Savage, a hatter andhosier, No. 155, Crawford-street, Mary-
la-bonne, gave evidence as to the prisoner obtaining property from
him by meant of false pretences.
Mr. Taylor, of Geswell-street, a tradesman, gave similar evidence.
Mr. Butcher, of bang-lane, Smithfield, gave evidence to the same
effect. The prisoner told the witness that he was going to open a
large shop in Goswell-street, and that be would rather deal with his
neighbours than strangers; he also said he had a considerable pro-
erty left him ; all of which turned out to be untrue.

Per,
Twenty-six -other trasbanses mask similar statements ; and the
prisoner was fully comMlitted for trial on two charges of felon Wand
ordered to be brought up again, as there were many other Ahrens
to be inquired into.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
-46.-

An Inquest was held at the Pied Bull, Islington, on
the body of H. Vaulkener, aged 14. The youth was
apprentice to a watchcase-maker, in Cottage-place, City-
road, and was drowned while bathing in the New River,
early on Sunday morning.—Verdict, Accidental Death.
An Inquest was also held on the body of C. Martin,
a shoemaker, who died in consequence of drinking a
quart and three glasses of strong gin, in the space of
twenty minutes, at a public-house in Camden-street,
Islington, which was paid for by some of his compa-
nions; after which lie boasted of his sobriety, and of-
fered to carry one of his companions home. On his ar-
rival, however, he became alarmingly ill, when a sur-
geon in the neighbourhood was sent for, whose assistant
said he could not attend every drunken call, but gave
the 'messenger an emetic to administer to him; this,
however, failing, he was sent to again, when he told the
messenger to give him salt and water. Another surgeon
was then sent for, but death anticipated his arrival.--
Verdict, Died by excessive drinking.
