POLICE.

Guteonsee.—lt is known to the public, that
filver plate, to a very great value, not lefs it is
faid, than to,oool. has been lately fiolen from
different Colleges in the Univerfity of Cambridge.
Three men, of the names of Kidsw, Grill/haw,
and Caen, have been taken into cutiody, as the
thieves. Kidman has turned King's evidence,
and impeached his accomplices. His dircoveries
have led to a fufpicion, that a Jew, near Duke's
Place, was remotely concerned in the villany. This
perfon was on Wednefday examined privately, on
this account, before Sir W. Leighton, the Sitting
Alderman at Guildhall.

It appeared in evidence, that the plate, being
fir& melted down by the thieves, was then fold to
Mr. Cohen, of Cambridge, at the rate of al.
for the pound of ilrounces. Cohen paid for it in
bank notes, which were proved to have been re-
ceived by the perfon under examination from the
Bank of England. A youth, who has aged partly
as thopman and partly as errand-boy for that per-
ton, was alfo examined, and related that his mar-
ten had occafional dealings with one Cohen, of
Cambridge, but knew of no traafaaion of the na-
ture ((that which was alledged.
Sir W. Litiouros was inclined to remand the
kw, in regard to whom thefe faits appeared,
into cuftody, but admitted him at lag to bail,
himfolf being bound in wool. and two fureties
in soul. each.

until, by turning up home dung in the yard, fume
bags of the oats were dircovered, contiguous to
the Rabies, which were under the management of

SWINDLING.

MANSION House.—Henry Hart was yeaerday
again examined before the LORD MAYOR, charged
by Meilis.Kirkby, Beckley, and Kirkby, Whole-
file Silk Merchants, Foller Lane, Cheapflde, (as
mentioned in the STAR fome days ago) with de-
frauding them of twenty-fercn pounds ten ihillings
worth of goods.
George Mactereith ILted, that the Prifoner came
to their warehoufe, and having a card of Mr.
Beckley's in his hand, faid that he wanted to pur-
chafe a quantity of Bandana handkerchiefs ; that
he meant to pay ready money for them, wifhing
to have them as cheap as poffible ; that the depo-
nent put up for him as many as came to 271. 593.;
that be elifplayed a great many bank notes appa-
rently, bat raid that he bad not quite fufficient,
and confeemently defired them to bring them home
to his houfe, No. 22, New-areet, Bifhopfgate-
area, when he would pay for them ; that when
they took the goods, however, thither, he faid he
had been buying goods to go abroad, and had
paid away all his money; that he, therefore,
.pre-
fented a Note, drawn by him up.ui Robert El-
vey, and accepted by the latter, payaisic at the
counting-houfe of Moreau and Co. No. ro, Balk-
ing Church-yard, Tower-hill, which, with nine
fhillings in cafh, v.-as the amount of the bill.
Mr. Beckley eni•tirn.ed this evidence, and laid,
he knew nothing of the Prifoner before ; that he
had obtained this card of his fervant, at his old
houfe in Union-fireet, he having lately come it.:,
partnerfhip with Mr. Kirkby.
Mr. Brooke, an eminent Tallow-chandler near
Wellclofaipiare, produced another of the Swind-
ling Notes of a timilar defcription, for 251. for
which the Prifoner had got candles in the follow-
ing manner :—Mr. Brooke told his Lordlhip that
Hart came to him, and laying that he was in the
wine trade, and wanted a great quantity of can-
dles, for which he would pay 'ready money. gave
the diredion to his bottle, No. as, New-areet
Bifhopfgite ; that Mr. Brooke agreed to let him
have 6o dozen of candles, but was rather fufpicious
of the charadier, and gave particular orders to his
fervant net to let the candles out of the cart till
he got the money ; that, to his furprife, the
fervant came back without the candles, and
brought this note ; and that be could never fince
find either Elvey, or Hart, although he has a
writ againfl them both.
A Mr. Neal, a taylor, next prefented one of his
notes. It was beyond the flatute of limitation;
but he begged to explain the fraudulent way in
which he had been ufed. He carried home goods
to Hart to the amount of nine pounds, fume i
lings, which he was to have ready money for; in-
h ead of that, Hart prefented him a note of hand,
upon a perfon in Rothcrhithe for about ten
;winds, and wanted him to give the balance.
This Mr. Neale declined, and upon making in.
quiry after the parties, had reafon to believe the
note to be of no value. As the Prifoner raid he
was in the liquor way, he took a gallon or two of
liquor from him.; after which Hart importuned
him to return the note, Paying, he could get it (ac-
counted. But the taylor wilhing to keep it as a
fecurity, the partner arrefted him for the note and
the lieraor' which he paid, rather than be obliged
to expole hintfelf to farther trouble. In return,
he arrelled Hart, who immediately went to New-
gate for iol. and after haying there fix months,
got out by giving this note, drawn upon one
Ridgway, which -Mr. Neale could never get a
farthing for.
The crowd was very great, fo that the names
of the others who had claims againa him could
only be called over. They were very numerous.
Mr. Clark, the Marfhal's man, and Thomas
Sapwell, who apprehended the Prifoner, produced
his pocket-book, which they •took from him, in
which were many of his fwindliag notes, papers,
and letters. Being called on for his defence, he
reprefented all there notes to be debts, and laid
that Elvey had accepted that note at she George,
on Show-hill, but he was afraid to come forward.
He complained of polling bills, and faid, he had
never been before a Lord Mayor or Magiarate
before. It was, however, recoUeEted thathe had
been before the Magiarate at Guildhall, two years
ago, for man"' charges ofs like nature. He was
fully committed to take his trial for defrauding
Mr. Kirkby ; and is to be again brought up
to =ewer the charge of Mr. Brook, whole fervant
will attend to give evidence.
