parade Fleetstreet, named Charlot- Fall 2fielii;
Iftsystei, and Eleanor Owed wetechared by Mr. I,lllSt.
ney, a preftimer, of Fleet-street, who lives at Me. cor-
ner of Lombard.court, with having created a riot and
disturbance in the alley at the rear of hit house, and
breaking his tests and thdn knocking at his door, ant
abusing him as he stood at his window : upon which
he gave them in charge to the watch, and sent them
to the Compter.
The girls, on their parts, Utterly denied they were
persons of an improper character, but spoke of them-
selves as married women, and the mothers Of 'chil-
dren, ttrho got their bread by needle-work: They also
denied that they had created any disturbance, but al-
ledged that Mr. Dewdney had saluted them from his
back window with a sew of perfumery (it was neither
essence of lavender nor sato ey. roses) which totally ruined
their dashing shawls, silk pelices, and straw bonnety,
and they exhibited those habiliments, bearing obvious
vestiges of the abuse they complained of.
Mr. Dewdney positively denied that the wet was
thrown from his windows while the ladies Were
equally positive it was:
The Magistrate, after reprobating in strcing term-.
the unwarrantable indecency of which .those women
re,emtplained, ordered them to be discharged out of
custody.
M A lasso MUG • STRUT. —Yesterday, a prisoner,
named Treble, who has been some considerable time in
custody, charged with having robbed the Arundel
mail coach, of tank notes to the amount of 7001. Was
further examined.
Many additional charges were brought against
him, in the course of investigating which, a curious
history of his frauds was developed. Scarcely a
robbery has occurred in any of the mail coaches for
a series of fifteen years past, in which the prisoner has
not had some concern. Various other robberies of sit
bank notes were also traced home to him, through Zit
his agency in the circulation of such notes, in which
he had proved himself a consummate adept in all the
mysteries of practical finesse ; nor could any thing
in the artifices of the memorable Patch Price trans-
cend his ingenuity in change of costume, or variety of
wig and cut, to diguise his identity. By these strata-
gems he not only carried on his frauds with success,
but baffled the vigilance of the police officers, and
defeated all the ends of justice regarding himself.
The greater part of the day was spent in this in-
vestigation, and Mr. &tome devoted every possible
attention in taking down the testimony of the wit-
nesses who attended.
Many other charges still remained to be urged
against the prisoner, which there was not time to in-
vestigate ; and. he was remanded for further exami-
nation on a future day. •
KNIGHT OF THE POLAR STAR.--. 21, person, of gen-
tlemanly appearance, stiling himself Sir Thomas
Macklin, Knight of the Polar Star, was brought up
for examination the second time, Charged upon the
oath of a waiter named William Death, belonging to
Hatchett's Hotel, Piccadilly, with attempting to rob
him of a silver watch. It was stated in evidence that
the prisoner came to the Hotel, and desired to be ac-
commodated with a bed, proposing to remain there
some days. He was accordingly suited ; and on the
following morning, as Death was lying on his bed
perfectly dive, though dosing, his attention was rous-
ed by some person entering the room, and stretching
across him in the bed, to seize his watch, which hung
over his head. He immediately started up, and the
person'who was the prisoner, and was without his
shoes, withdrew in some confusion, and left the house
betore any alarm was given. It was afterwards dis-
.coVered, that the trunk ofd Colonel Young, who re-
cently retutaed from Spain, had been robbed of se-
veral articlei of apparel.'
The prisoner returned to the hotel about one the
next day, and going up stairs, suspected from the
physiognomical aspect of the vigilant waiters, that all
was not right, he ran therefore, up to the attic story,
and concealed himself for a considerable time in the
water-closet, from whence, however, he was at length
unkennelled, and taken into custody.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.
UNION H A LL.—Jane Mils and Ann Tompkins were
brought up by Lorkie, charged by James Thompson,
one of five brothers, all deaf and dumb, with stop.
ping him near Nelson-square, Blackfriars-road, and
robbing him of a pound note and some silver; they
were remanded for re-examination on Tuesday next.
Bow-snuck-I%—On Monday James Callan was charg-
ed with breaking open the dwelling-house of Mr. Ma-
hony, the sign of the Cock, in Tottenham-court-road.
Thomas Hison, of John-street, Tottenham-court-
road, painter and glazier, said, that about half-past
two o'clock, on Saturday morning, as he was passing
through Tottenhamscourt-road, he saw the head and
shoulders of a man, in the cellar of Mr. Mallon), ; in
consequence of which he went close up to the cellar,
and saw one of the flaps of the cellar lifted up, and
three bottles of wine on the other flap, and the pri-
soner in the act of getting out of the cellar ; he at-
tempted to lay hold of him, but he made a spring
and ran away. The witness pursued him and called
out 4, stop thief," and was never five yards from him,
till he was stopped and secured.
Thomas Sykes, a watchman, said, that hearing the
cry of stop thief," anti seeing the prisoner miming,
he endeavoured to stop him ; but the prisoner knock-
ed him down. He got up again as quick as possible,
foll Owed him, and was present when he was secured.
Mr. Mahony proved his cellar, which is part of his
dwelling-house, to have been broken open, and a
quantity of wine stolen. The prisoner was commit-
ted for trial.
