NIARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.

Saturday last, a person of gentlemanly appearance and fashinn.
able exterior, was apprehended upon a warren:, by Morris and
Stowell, belonging to the above establishment, on various alleged
charges of fraud and swindling.
Mr. 'l'. Chambers, a Gentleman residing in the Falgeware-road,
stated, that on the 18th of July last, he was applied to by a L,dv
named Greig. to let her an elegantly furnished house, us litrt.ronb
street, Oaford-street ; he accordingly entered into an ;Tame.%
which was witnessed by Mrs. Sinclair, the mother of the Lisle
the premises were taken possession of on the eith of July, Aucl Mr,
Greig resided there; the rent was three guineas per week, winch
was to be paid in monthly instalments. On the 241 h Jaidiary
he went to the home for the purpose of taking possession of it, hat-
ing previously been informed the Lady had removed; the ,errant
who answered the door told him her mistress was unwell. and begged
he would call the next day, when he could see her. He made nq
lie itation, but left the house, although the premises had been va-
cated by her about six weeks prior, and that she had taken the
house, N 0.19, in Upper Berkeley-street. Witness, in parr riymeot
of the rent, received a bill of 204 as a good one, and considered the
same paid. Witness subsequently, however, called upon Ml-s. Greig
for the remainder of the rent in Upper Berkeley-street, when
Greig told him she had no money, but gave him a bill of UM which
was drawn by the prisoner in favour of Mrs. Greig, and parable at
one month. Oil witness's return home, however, he was stirpri,..l
at finding a lawyer's letter, stating, that It lie (Mr. Chamber-) mid
not immediately take up the bill of 201. he would he arrested. Wit-
ness again called upon Mrs. Greig, and insisted on having possession
of the house in llereford-street. Mrs. Greig said she haid ekTitten
to Steward and Company, in Pall.mall, to ascertain that the article,
of furniture agreed with the inventory. Witness finally got posses-
sion of the house on Friday week last, but found that the bed-furii.
tore, blankets, quilts, a piece of drugget, &c. were missing. He
consequently repaired to Mrs. Greig's residence in Upper Berkeley-
street, and mentioned the circumstance, when he was informed
they had gone-to be washed; not being satisfied, however, with the
answer, he refused leaving the house, when the bed-furniture and
blankets were brought down by Mrs. Greig's servant, and carried
by her to the house in Hereford-erect. On Thursday last be called
upon Mrs. Greig again, accompanied by an officer, for the purpor
of searching the promises; he there saw the prisoner, who gave the
officer a key of a drasexr,itt which he found a quilt latlongintto him.
Mrs. Greig took the house, but the prisoner's name was on a brass
plate on the door.
Mr. Benham being present, said he had furnished a variety of
articles to Mrs. Greig, whose servant told him site. was the widow
of a Clergyman. who had formerly resided near Colchester; hecon-
sequently bad written down to a friend there, but ne such person
was ever known. Mrs. Greig told him she had a great deal of
pro-
perty, but could not get in her rents.
Mr. Soane, china and glass-dealer, Oxford-street, stated he had
furnished Mrs. Greig with some valuable thine and glasras. Site said
she had a suit in Chancery, which was in the hands of Mr. Brougham,
who gave her the greatest hopes of success, the issue of which would
enable her to lisuida te all her debts.
Several othi r tradespeople proved similar facts.
The Magistrate here asked the prisoner if he had anythirk to say?
who replied—" Yes, I wish to ask Mr. Chambers some questions."
Prisoner.—" Mr. Chambers; Sir, on your oath, did you net Oro-
duce Mrs. Greig to many of the tradesmen present, saying that she
was the daughter of the late Colonel Sinclair, belonging to the Vail
Light Dragoons ?"—Mr. Chambers—" No, I nester did,"
Prisoner.—" Did you not refer persons to the residence qf .Mrs.
Greig, in Upper Berkeley-street?"—Mr. Chanibees answered in
•
the negative.
The prisoner then said, the violent conduit of Mr. Chambers
had been the means of forming a conspiracy against himself sod
Mrs. Greig, and that hereafter he would bring his action for libel:
be assured the numerous tradesmen present that the whole of their
demands would be paid when Mrs. Greig's marriage settlement
was arranged.
The prisoner, in. default of bail, was then remanded; and the of-
ficers ordered to make every inquiry after Mrs. Greig.
