GUILDHALL.

Saturday, two more of the sentinels appointed by the Journey.
men Shoemakers' Committee, were brought up before Mr.
Alderman Cox.
Mr. HAIIMZIL said, he believed, from the disposition in which
be founkhis clients, and• the feeling which seemed to actuate Mr.
Groves, he might save the worthy Magistrate the trouble of going
into these cases. The offenders were not aware they were com-
mitting a breach of law; but having done so, they wished to ex-
press their extreme sorrow for their conduct, and would promise
never to place themselves in such a situation again. Every one
had a right Co set value upon his own labour, but they had no
right to interfere with the price which another person chose to
accept for his labour; and any act of intimidation, with that view,
he would now inform them, would subject the offending party to
three months' imprisonment to hard labour.
Mr. Groves bad no objections to the demanded increase of
wages, and, when one of his oldest and steadiest hands first spoke
to him upon the subject, he immediately told him he agreed to it r
but becalm he refused to sign his name to a paper—he supposed
the list of prices—the men all gave him warning to leave his em
ployment. The Committee of Journeymen sat at a public-house at
the corner of Monkwelbstreet, Cripillegate, and the sentinels they
posted about the town received ftd. an hour for their time. After
the two prisoners had been taken to the Compeer, on Friday after.
noon, his son overheard some of the gang threatening his (Mr.
Grove's) life; and the expression they used was " D— his eyes,
if I catch him, I'll crack his bl—dy bead., However, in the hope
that these men, if discharged, would faithfully report to their asso-
dates under what liabilities they were acting, he would not press
the case further.
Mr. Alderman Co: thought the. question between the masters
and the men might very easily be settled ; but if the men persisted
in the present system of annoyance and intimidation, he would
make short work with them, and send every man of them to the
tread-miU for the longest term the law allowed.
Sir. Millard, the solicitor, then came in, to require the assist-
ance of the Police in clearing away some sentinels from another
house; but the Alderman suggested a conference between him on
the part of the masters, and Mr. Harmer for the turn-outs, with
a hope of an immediate arrangement of the disputes, and the inter-
view terminated in a promise from Mr. Harmer that the sentinels
should be withdrawn.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Saturday, .fella Tuck, better known by the name of Tlurpiss, was
brought up for re-examination before Mr. Dees, charged with
having attempted to commit a burglary at the house .f Mr. Wis-
dom No. 5, little Rider-street, St. James's-street. The prisoner,
who is not above le years of age, has been repeatedly sent to trial
from Queen-square, the Thames and other Police•offices. since
1820, but has hitherto succeeded in eluding the ends of justice.
After a long examination, in which much Lial ingenuity was dis-
played by the Counsel, the prisoner was fully committed to New-
gate for trial.
Mr. Isaacs, the solicitor, attempted to bring home another bur-
glary to the prisoner, through the evidence of a man named Powel,
who was produced, and cautioned by the solicitors on both sides
bow be answered questions that must necessarily criminate himself,
when the following singular scene took place.
Mr. Isaacs—Powel, is the man at the bar the same Turpin that
you spoke of at the Old Bailey, as having bought the clothes of?
Mr. Andrews—Powel, don't answer that question ; at least you
are not bound to answer it, if you don't think proper.
Pawl—Really, Gentlemen, I know not what to do.
Terphes wife, a handsome young woman, dressed in a most
*eery manner, who was in the Office, attending with the most
marked and intense anxiety to the whole proceedings, but up to
this time had not personally interfered, had her feelings now worked
up to such a pitch of unendurable agitation and anxiety, that she
rose as if uncuascioudy from her seat, and with an expression of
countenance impossible to describe, from the mixture and intensity
of the passions it pourtrayed, gradually approached the side of the
witness, and then took her station, with her eyes GM! upon him,
and her mouth half open, as if to catch the refusal to answer,
which she hoped for. Turpin himself who ie a very fine-looking
young man, genteelly dressed in black, was at this period, although
evidently of strong serve, not much less agitated than his partner.
Mr. Isaacs again addressed Powel—Powel, you know the situ..
don in which you stand. There is an indictment at preseit bang-
ing over you, and any answer you give cannot make you worse. I
will now first ask you, Do you know that man standing at the bar ?
—Powel : I certainly de.
Mr. Isaacs--I now again ask you, is that the maa (Turpin) of
whom you bought the coats P—The gaoler here called out to re-
move Mrs. Turpin, for that she was touching the witness's elbow.
Turpin flew into a desperate rage, and contradicted the gaoler in
no courteous terms.
Mrs. Turpin was removed, but her feelings now so completely
overcame her, that she flung herself upon the bar, her face bathed
in perspiration and tears, and there hung her head, supported by
the prisoner, who held both her hands clasped in his, and occa-
sionally embraced her.
Mr. Isaacs again repeated the last question to the witness, and
while Powel was on the last moment of his hesitation as to an.
swering or not,Turpin could bear his horrid suspense no longer, and
slapping his open hand with great violence on the bar, called out
with a loud and stern command, " Petrel, don't answer him."
Powel said, " Mr. TurPin, you must allow me to judge for my-
self, and act according to my own interests." After a few minutes
more consideration, however, be said, " I must decline, Gentlemen,
Ito answer any more questions." The sudden transition from almost
despair to extreme joy, was instantly apparent in the couutenances
of Turpin- and his wife, particularly the latter, whom it seemed for
the moment to have deprived of reason.
Mr. Isaacs said, that in consequence of Powers conduct he could
not now carry this case any further, but it was not impossible but
be might obtain some other evidence. •
Turpin was described by several Police Officers who have known
him for years, as the most expert house-breaker in the Metropolis,
and most Ingenious in evading detection and its consequences. He
has been repeatedly tried at the Old Bailey, chiefly under the name
a Tuck, but always escaped. His talents and exertions have ob-
tained for him the very highest rank in his profession, his tide
being " Captain of the Captains of Cracksmen."
