Bow-STREET.—The benevolei.t Mr. Webb has ac-
tually bees driven out of London by 'a gang of sturdy
beggars, who have infested his residence, and folksy-
edErn in and out of the house, notwithstanding a
constable being placed to protect . On Thurs-
day there was an assemblage of about fifty. Among
them there was a woman, named Wood, from Tun-
bridge Wells, who, a short time since, received £4.5
of his bounty, and who was then pestering him for
more, under pretence of purchasing the discharge of
a son who is a soldier. She had a lad, another son,
with her, who the constable recognised to be a reputed
thief ; and he therefore brought them to the Office,
when they were ordered to be detained. The woman
had 40 pawribrokeis' duplicates on her. Mr. Webb
left .town on Thursday night.
On Monday, a young man, dressed in a naval uni-
form, went to the Bedford Head, King-street. Blooms.
bury, and represented himself to be an Officer, just
arrived from Portsmouth, and requested to have
' board and lodging. He said he had £370 to receive
at Somerset House, for which he must procure two
18s. stamps, and requested to have 82 to procure
them. The landlady sent-a man with the money, and
to shew him the way. On the way he endeavoured to
procure the rie'l from the man, hut he would not part
with it. On their arrival at the Navy Office, the fal-
lacy of his pretensions was discovered, and the porter
in the halt recognised him as having defrauded him,
and his having been there several times, attempting
to commit frauds ; upon which he was taken into
custody and brought to the Office, when W. Ivitt, of
the King's Head, Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
stated, that on Tuesday se'unight the prisoner came
to his house and told him the same story, and made a
like request. He accompanied him the following day
to the Navy Office, he saying he was going to receive
/MO for prize-money. He waited in the hall while
the pris:incr went into the interior of the Office, when
he shortly returned, and said his money was all ready
for him, but he wanted a sel note to give change,
which he let him have. He waited till four o'clock,
when the Office closed, and he could not learn any
thing respecting the prisoner. J. N. Coffin, Clerk in
the Ticket Office-, Navy (Dace, said the prisoner came
to him some time since, and demanded wages fur
serving on board the Procris sloop of war, and pro-
, duced a certificate ; but on reference to the books, he
found he had becn paid at Portsmouth.—He was
committed for trial.

J. Myers, a fishmonger, in Princes-street, Westmin-
ster, Sawa his wife, and Ann Burman, were committed
as rogues and vagabonds, having been concerned m a
Little Gn.

Mary lluworth was 'charged with stealing a silk
handkerchief from Amelia Penson. The prosecutrix,
with a female friend, w is p;v,s;ng through Catherine-
street, when she was sui rounded by several louse wo-
men, among whcm tvg's the prisoner, who dernauded
her money; and on the prosecutris saying she had

none for ter, she Ireplied, she would have some; at
tie same time catching her by the throat, and forci- ,
bly taking the handkerchief. She then retreated into
a public-Inane, on her return from which she was se-
cured by the watchman. She war fully committed.
HATTON GA RDEN.--Jfaria Harting was charged on
suspicion of having robbed her master's house, of a
silver-watch, three silver table spoons, and SOs. worth
t'f half•pence. Mr. Owns, of Clarendon-square, fin-
mer's-town, said, the ptistAner washis servant. On
Thursday evening, having ocoasion to go out, he
locked his shop door, which opened into the parlour.
and put the key into a drawer, which he locked and
put the key into his pocket. No person was in the
house but the prisoner. He knocked at the street door
about eleven, when the prisoner told him from the
area, that there had been thieves in the house. He
desired her to open the door, but she said she could
not, and appeared much alarmed ; witness brought
the watchman, and on their coming to the door it was
opened by the prisoner. He fund the parlour, the
middle, and the back door open, and missed the pro
perry abovementioned. James Harris, a pawnbroker,
in Charlton-street, deposed, that about a quarter past
eight o'clock that evening he was passing by Mr.
Cowes' shop, and saw a man go in at the private
door, which was immediately shut to. Witness think-
ing it was Mr. Cowns, struck the door with his um-
brella, expecting it would be opened ; he waited some
minutes and not finsling the door opened, lie went on.
The prisoner, in defence, said, that when her master
went out he left the back door "pen, by which t:.e
thieves gained admission ; and when she lotted they
were in. the house she bolted the kitchen door, which
was the cause of her answering frorrythe area, being
afraid to open the kitchen door ; and that if any pet-
s In entered at the front door, he must be let in by his
cnmpanons. Mr. Staunton, a loaking-glass manufac-
turer, Ne. 58, Lombard-street, and who has a house
at Islington-green, deposed, that the prisoner lived in
his service about a yen and a half, and that he never
had a more trusty servant. He has seven daughters,
and if he htd not thought the prisoner a tit and safe
person, lie would not have kept her about them. He
laft the care of his house and property to her for six
weeks list season, while he and his family were out of
town, aid he never missed any thing. He could trust
her to any amount. The Magistrate said, that diem-
ter might do in another place, but it could not avail
her at present. She was remanded.
MA Rixoltouqui seitace.—E. Spark:, his mother,
and his sister, were charged with stealing a quantity
of printed paper, thee property of Messrs. Stevensand
Co. of Old Bond-street. The prosecutors arc manu-
facturers, and the prisoner served his time with them.
The property was exposed for sale in Barrard's-cour,
and two persons proved that they had purchased it
considerably under its value of the female prisoners.
One of the partners proved having frequently seen the
female prisoner call ,on Sparks at the manufactory ;
and he in defence attributed the Whole to his methei
and sister, and denied any knowledge of the robbery
himself. The whole were committed for trial.

QUEEN4QUARE.—Yesterday a baker in StrAton.
grounds, ‘Vestminster, was summoned, in conse-
quence of a quantity of light bread having been
seized on his premises. They seized fourteen var.
tern, thirteen half quartern, and twenty-four penny
loaves, some of the quarterns wanting four ounces,
and several of the penny-rolls, which ought to have
weighed five ounces three drachms being deficient one
ounce and three quarters 1 It, however, being his first
offence, he was convicted only in Is. per ounce, on
6 ounces, and 20s. costs.
M. C. I- lance:, who first introduced the fninainating
• .

annoyances into this country, and who was convicted
some time since, of selling them, attended, and paid
the penalty of £5, observing, that he was much stir-
prized on his return from the Continent, to find his
snug little depot broken up, as he !hid long sold the like
articles in Italy and France, without interruption.
UN lON HALL—Yesterday J. Lloyd, a man of dash-
ing appearance, was brought up by Goff and May,
charged with a telony, he having !tiled a horse of Mr.
Daniels, a livery-stible-keeper, in Coleman-street,
and forgotten to return it. It appeaied that the pi iso.
ner hired the horse in question slime time since, and
rode it down to the Noah's-ark public house, in Maid-
lane. Here he continued a night ; and the next
morning employed the landlord to procure him a
customer for the horse. This the landlord, having
no suspicion of him, did. The horse not coming
home, however, Mr. Daniels applied to May and
Goff, ar.d instructed them to go in search of that and
the prisoner. The officers at length discovered the
horse, in the possession of the landlord of the Europa
public house, in ltotherhithe ; and the prisoner was
apprehended on the other side of the water. He was
committed for a further hearing. .

SWINDLING.—A person was found guilty at the
last Lancashire Assizes, and sentenced to be impri-
soned and stand in the pillory, for ordering goods
from different tradesmen, and enticing them to exe-
cute his orders, which generally amounted either to
£5 or R I 0, by sending them the halves of Bank-notes,
with a promise that the other halves should be remit-'.
ted on the receipt of the goods. hOweier, he
always failed to do, and, on comparing notes, the
persons duped found that the halves were dividd in
more than one sense ; for while one half reached one
tradesman, the other was forwarded to another trades.
Man, whose mutual interest it was, at last, to coalesce
with each other, in order to receive some value
.for
their goods.
