shoes, the property of Mr. Kirkland, of New-street.
—The prisoner, on the evening of Friday se'nnight,
went to the prosecutor's shop, and ordered some shoes
to Mr. Patterson's, in Bedford-street. Mr. K. sent
four pair by his bey ; when they got to Mr. Patter-

MANSlON4loUSE.—Yesterday,Edwarel Edward: was
charged with stealing from the shop of Mr. Wilson, a
silvertmith in Houndsditch, several gold rings and
broaches.

Mr. Wilson stated, that the prisoner under pretence
of looking out some jewellery, concealed several
rings, Sce. when he took him int 6 a room, where he
returned the things, and begged to be sent on board
the tender. The prosecutor then sent for the father
of the prisoner, whom he understood to be an honest
man, who joined in the request. The prosecutor was
told he had no right to do so, and as the prisoner was
known to be an old offender, And was tried at the Old
Bailey last Sessiobs, he was fully committed.
The ptiest and officers of a Catholic chapel in
Moorfields charged a miserable old woman with fre-
quently coming to their chapel in time of service, and
disturbing them in their duty. This woman said she
was an Irish Catholic, and lived in St. Giles's, and
expressed herself in such a way as gave room to sup-
pose that she was deranged. She was sent to Bride-
well, in order to be passed to her own country.
The persons supposed to be concerned in the rob-
bery of the silk warehouse in Gutter-lane were again
remanded for a further examinatian.
GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Anthony Bradford wasfully
committed, charged with breaking into the house of
Mr. Taylor, in Warwick-lane, of whose apprehension
we gave an account in our paper of yesterday. In
his box a number of articles of wearing apparel were
found, which were identified by a woman named Ray-
mead, who lives next door to him.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Theperson calling himself I
George Macao, who has undergone two examinations
on the charge of robbery at Hatchett's hotel, was again
brought up, when in answer to some interrogatories,
he said that he obtained his order of knighthood from
Gustavus IV. of Sweden, for services in his army,
through the interest of his uncle, Colonel Williams,
who was also in the military. service of Sweden. On
being asked if he had not represented himself as a
clergyman in America, he replied in the affirmative,
and said he received his ordination at the hands of the

Bishop of New York. On being asked about fight-
ing a duel which appeared in the newspapers a tort-
night since, he said it was true, but he had obtained
a contradiction of the article in the papers, that the
fact might not reach his friends at New York. The
charge against him for felony was incomplete, but he
was committed to Tothill Fields as a vagabond, for
ent:trei:f the waiter's room at Hatchett's with intent
to It appeared that Captain Baine, whom the
prisoner represented as his friend, had been imposed
upon by him, and has had no correspondence with
him for some time.

Rutherford, charged with breaking open the
cellar of the Red Lion public-house in Great Wild-
street, was
.re-examined, and fully committed fcr
trial.

Woasmr-arnErr. —Yesterday John Dodroa was fully
committed, charged with assaulting Mr. Kendrick,
in Whitecross-street, and stealing from him a silver
watch : as was also W. Overton for stealing two sheep
from Penge Common, the property of J. Peters, Esq.
and Anse Cooper, for a burglary in the house of Mr.
Chapman, at Bethnal-green.

Mr. Murray, a gentleman of independent fortune,
late a resident at Margate, had taken place to return
thither in one of the packets on Saturday last. He
was lodged at the Gun tavern, Billingsgate, and had
but a short time retired to his chamber to pack up his
apparel, when the waiter who went to inform him
that the vessel was ready, found him sitting upright
in a chair in a senseless state. The waiter supposed
him sleeping, but upon examinaPion found he was
quite dead. Medical assistance was immediately
procured, but in vain.
Two French prisoners lately effected their escape
from Milbay prison, and got as far as Weymouth, ,
where they seized a boat, with an intent of steering
for the French coast ; but after getting into the offing,
they found themselves so much overcome by fatigue,
that they put back again in order to save their lives.
They were brought to their old quarters by a detach-
ment of the Northampton Militia, now at Weymouth. •
A considerable number of counterfeit 7s. pieces, and
Bank of England one pound notes, are now in circu-
lation in Plymouth and the neighbouring towns • and
incr.:dible as it may appear, they are stated to be the
manufacture of the irenchmen confined in the Royal
Prison at Dartmoor. The seven-shilling-pieces are
of the date of 1804, rather larger than the good ones,
paler, very light, and will not stand the test of ring.
ing.—The notes may be detected by the coarseness
of the paper, which also feels rough and spongy.
The Carpen:er, who was bit by the rattle snake,
though reported to be dead, was better yesterday than
lie has been since the accident happenel. On Thurs-
day he bad scarcely any pulse, and was rendered ex-
tremely weak from excessive vomiting ; it has since
ceased, his stomach retains food,the inflammation of the
arm is considerably abated, and the livid spots are dis-
appearing. The accident was occasioned by his thrust-
ing a rule between the wires of the cage, to rouse the
snake, which fell near the animal, and he opened the
door through which the animal's food is given, to get
the rule, and his hand approaching the snake, being
previously irritated, it bit him in the finger and thumb.
Ought not the Police to prevent the exhibition of such
dangerous reptiles ?
