POLkE:

Yellesday., a, young man of very genteel apptir
ince, named Williams, was brought up for the fe-
cond time before the Lotto MAYOR, at the Minflon
Hosife, upon a charge of forging two checks to a
confiderable amount upon the houfe of Bond, Son,
and Company, and the fags having been fully fur-
tained, he was committed for trial.
The boy of nine years old, who was examined on
Wednefday, for pulnining 141. was again brought
up, attended by the old lady, his godmother, and a
waterman, named Boakins, the perfon to whom the
boy alledged,tfhi. firft examAlation, he had given
the 51. note for his conveyance to Blackwall and back
to Hungerfortl, and received only t Is. in change.—
The boy was again interrogated, and repeated accu-
rately the fame particulars he had told the preced-
ing day, with this difference that the waterman had
landed him at Old Swan Stairs on his way down,
when he gave him the note to get change, and pay
his fare for the day ; he laid the Waterman went in-
to a public houfe, he did not know what fign, and re-
ccived the change from the man at the bar, and then
came out and gave him t ts.
The waterman, in his defence, pnfitively denied II
his having feels any note with the boy ; who, he raid,
told him, when he came to At for a boat at Hunger-
ford, that his father was a Gentleman, and Captain
of a £hip, had given him money to take a day's plea-
fore on the water, and laid, Vile was at home by ten at
night, it would be time enough .; that the boy had
paid him his fare in a (even (billing piece on the way
down, and that this was all the money he bad teen
with him.
Another waterman, named/Martin, who Paid he
I was alto Deputy Foreman (o the Royal Exchange
Fire Infurance Company,• Sated, be was the perfon
on the look. out at the (tsars, when the boy came to
take a boat, and brought him to Boakins, who was
firft oars. That he Caw the boy again on Monday
evening, when he came with the old lady, to Water-
man's Hall, in (earth of Boakins, and ree,oilleAed him.
That there was tome converfation due Alasanse the
watermen there about a five pound ttnyei 'bat that
he heard the boy, on being confronted wry ~uakins,
acknowledge that he had paid him with a Bien Chilling
piece, and nothing elfe ; upon which the old lady en-
deavoured to take the boy away, and keep him (lent,
but Tome young man prefent Paid he knew the old
lady well ; that iler refidence was in Lille-Rivet ;
and he world loon (Hence her before a Magifirate ;
upon which the went off.
The boy, after a very dole invelligation, touching
his knowledge of the nature of an oath, and an int-
preffive admonition from the Loan Mayo,. to tell
the truth, was (worn, and pofitively contradicted
both Boakins and Martin.
The Loan MITOR then fent Tipper, an Officer
of Police, with the boy and Bukins, to try if the
former could find readily the houfe, and know the
perfon again, whom he alleged to have changed the
note for Boakins; and after tome time they again
returned, when Tipper Paid the boy was correct, had
immediately pointed out the Old Swan public houfe,
ftwan-flairs, and, alfo the landlord, as the perfon
who gave change of the note ; but he added, what
teemed rather extraordinary, that Martin, who gave
evidence for Boakins, whom he had left behind him
in the Office, was there before them, and that there
was a crowd of above twenty watermen about the
door converting about the bnfinefs. He had brought
with him Blunden, the mailer of the public houfe,l
who (wore he had not leen Boakins at all on Satur.
day, nor changed any five pound note.
The Loan Matroa expreffed firong regret, that he
waanot able to bring home this charge to Boakins
by legal proofs, notwithftanding the circurnfiances
of guilt that were traceable through every veflige of
the bufinefs. He gave to Martin the feverelt repre-
henfion for ,the obvinus'diffionefty of his conduft, in
going to prepare the keeper of the Swan public houfe
for the -Alit of the officer, and thereby defeating the
end of jnftece. The parties were then difmilled.
Yellerday a man in a feaman's habit was charged
at Guildhall, with riotous behaviour, in Cheapfide, at
two o'clock the fame morning. On being called on
for his defence, he produced a difeharge from a man
of war, wherein it was fpecified he was infant. He
was ordered to be taken care of.
Yellerday Thomas, alias John, alias James Affihy,
and Arthur Brubl, one reprefenting himfelf to be
the owner of a veffel, and the other the Captain. un-
derwent their.laft examination at the Thames Police
Office, charged with fraudulently obtaining a variety
of goods under falfe pretences, particularly from Mr.
Bacon, in Wapping, of 975 yards of fail cloth, cables,
&c. They were both full committed for trial.
