POLICE REPORTS.

Yesterday, two women, named Lewis and Cullum, and a man named
Darby, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having
robbed a young sailor of three M. notes and a silver watch.
Edmund Ferguson, the sailor (quitea boy) stated that he had just
arrived from the coast of Africa, in the trig Black Nymph, and had re.
ceived his pay, amounting to upwards of 161. He had, for the greater
security, placed the three notes in the case of his watch, because he
thought that people would never think of looking into a watch for mo-
ney, nor be cunning enough to suspect him of concealing it there.
His brother and he met the two women at the house of a crimp in Saint
Mary Axe, and asked them to drink. They all entered a public-
house, and contrived to dispose of six pots of porter and six quarterns
of gin, very soon. The brother, who it appears belonged to an East
Indianian, had luckily not been aid his wages, or he would have been
stripped of every halfpenny, for they both accepted the invitation of the
women to visit their lodgings in Angel-alley. Alore porter and gin
were ordered in, and the witness, who became quite confidential with
Lewis, handed over his watch to her, requesting that she would be good
enough to keep it safe for him. He then, as his watch was quite safe,
very quietly drank on till he got blind drtink, and stretched himself on
the floor. Upon waking he found that his fair partner had pawned his
watch for seven shillings, and on going to the pawnbroker's and exa-
mining it, he perceived that the three five-pound notes had disappeared.
The Lord Mayor—What on earth could Induce you to hand your
watch to such a woman as this, of whom you knew nothing except that
she was a prostitute ?
Ferguson—Why, my lord, I thought she knew the town better than
I did, and that my watch would be safer in her posseesion than in mine,
so I gave it to her to take care of.
The LoaD MaYon--How could you suppose your property would
be safe in such hands ?

Ferguson—There were other people in the room, and the 7 appeared
to be all one family—sistcts and fathers and mothers. M c thought
we were quite safe, and my brother got blind drunk before I did.
Mr. Hoblcr—And then you made a beast of yourself, and followed
his example?
Ferguson—Yes, Sir, I did get drunk, GOD knows ; but they told me
they were all very honest people, and I thought there was no danger.
The officer who apprehended the prisoners, said he was induced to
take up auby, because when he was taking the two to the watch-house
that person did all he could to prevent the sailor from following and
giving charge.
The prisoners were all remanded for another examination.

side, booksellers.

Thee being no further charges within the jurisdiction of the Sitting
Alderman, the prisoner was asked how he obtained the forged orders ?
He said they were given to him.
It appeared, however, that with the view of amusing him till the
genuineness of the order he produced could be ascertained, Mrs. Bagger
had Invited him to write in her presence an I. O. U. foe the book he
required, the baud-writing of which corresponded exactly with that of
several others.

City, and directed the parties from whom goods had actually been ob-
tained in the county, to go before the Middlesex Grand Jury, and pre-
sent their bills.

murder, was brought up for the purpose of being transferred from the
New iwa to Newgete; and he was also confronted with a man
named George Long, who was taken up, and bad undergone several
private examinations, charged with being an accomplice in the murder.
Long was acquitted by Mr. Lunn of all suspicion of the murder but
his evidence regarding the prisoner, who bad been committed under the

companion's youth, the sentence of death which was passed upon them
was commuted to transportation for ten years, and Long had several
years of that term commuttd, for his good conduct on board the hulks.
After this, Long returned to town and became a companion of Sapwell's,
in consequence of which he had now been taken up.
Sapwell denied the whole statement of Long, but Mr. Lama had
procured an extract of the evidence on the trial, that confirmed it.
A man named Reece, a baker, also proved that he had known the pri-
soner as Wan. Sapwell, six or seven years ago, employed as a baker
end that be had since kept a shp of his own in Old-street-road. Keys,
a beadle, also recognised the prisoner as having once kept • shozrentleaz

stances appeared in corroboration of these facts.
