BOW-STREET.

MURDICIL—Ann Shelton was charged before G. 11. MINSHULL, Esq.
with the wilful murder of Patrick Doyle. It appeared that the
unfortunate woman had lived with the deceased fur a considerable
period, and by him became the mother of seven children. The
evidence produced in support of the present accusation was that of
the aunt of the deceased, Mary Ki!rout). She stated teat last Fri-1
day three weeks she had been in a public-house, called the Black
Horse, at the corner of Buckridge-street, George-street. At that
time the deceased was there, and apparently in a state of intoxica-
tion. The prisoner came in out of the street, and after some alter-
station with the deceased, struck him in the fare. He laughed and
Ilse left the house. She afterwards returned with something, which
afterwards proved to be a tin can, behind her back. This she
raised, and struck him a severe blow on the forehead. He bled
profusely, and the prisoner decamped, leasing the persons present
to dress the wound of her unfortunate paramour. The next day
witness met the prisoner, who then said, " If you don't keep your
sister's son out of my way, I'll certainly be his butcher, and the end
of him." Witness told her it was their own affair, and they must
settle it as well as they could. Some days after she met the de-
ceased, apparently in a very bad state of health. He told her what
Nancy had left undone before, she, on the night previous, finished.
She had struck him five times with a hammer on the head.—
He afterwards took to his bed, and at length became so ill that he
was taken to the Midilesex Hospital. 0A four o'clock on Wednesday
morning he died. Before this fatal event took place, information,
ill-founded certainly, was received at St. Giles's of his death. The
prisoner absented herself, with her children, from her usual dwel.
ling, and it was not till the afternoon of Wednesday that the brother
of the deceased could take her into custody. She was then brought
before the sitting Magistrate; but the surgeon who had examined
the wounds not being present, she was ordered to be brought up
yesterday. She seemed desirous of making some explauatinu, when
the worthy Magistrate disadvised her. Yesterday information was
received from the House of Correction that the unhappy woman
was too ill to be removed.

Samuel Fur.' was brought before Sir Iticwaan MIMIC, charged
with defrauding a number of persons, under pretence of receiving
money on his master's account. His master was a respectable boot
and shoemaker named Carter, who resides in the Blackfriars-road.
The prisoner had gone to his leather-merchant's house, in Nassau-
street, Soho, and ot.•tained a quantity of leather on his master's ac-
count, but which the mater never received. He had also gone to
one ut his master's customers, and obtained 71. and for that he never
accountc.l.—Sir It. linnets committed him fur trial.

The following case of alleged swindling was brought under the
notice of the Magistrates at this Office yesterday.
Five or six weeks ago, Captain —, residing in Gloucester-place,
Portman-square, left town for Ireland, and Mr. Marsh,a house agent,
was authorised to let his house for the time he should be absent.—
Accordingly two Gentlemen, the one calling himself Mr. —,and
the other —, proposed taking the house. They referred Mr.
klarsh, the agent, to a 3lentber of Parliament, and Mr. Marsh,
bring satisfied with the reference gave them possession.
Captain had hi, suspicions excited while in Ireland, by
reading in a paper, sent him by a friend, a moneylending adver-
tisement, with the address, " No. —, Gloucester-place, Portman-
square" (hi, own house) and in consequence he came to London
immediately. An inquiry was set on foot, and it was discovered
that these gentlemen had, during the four or five weeks they bad
occupied Captain —.'s house, obtained goods from various trades-
men, and attetwards disposed of them under very suspicious cir-
cumstances. An application having been made at this Office, a
warrant was on Wednesday issuad for the apprehension of Mr. —,
but as yet he has not been forthcoming. The house was searched
on but both Gentlemen had absconded.

Yesterday, in consequence of inturnution given by the se. remit of
a warrant was issued tor his liprehensitan •
