r- EXTENSIFit 'FRAUDS.
• t-4•00-.
Friday, Mr. Rawlinson, the Magistrate of Mary-la.
bonne Police-office, was for some time engaged in the
examination of the numerous petitions, letter s,itc. which
were found in the pOcket-book discovered in the outer
once after Hemmingtori and Brown (who *vie
charged by Sit Charles Forbes, Btrt.) were loclced up.
The result was the discovery of most extensive .depre4a-
tions, which have been practising for a cons der4ble pe-
riod on some of the most 'eminent individuids in the
metropolis. It would be tedious to enunierate the va.
metropolis. It appears, the gang is extensive aqd well
organized, and that several females are concerned in the
plot. It would seem that whenever a fire takes place
they immediately get tip petitions, stating theniselves to
be the sufferers, and that they have lost the whole of
their property, which they sign with the names of the
Ministers and Churchwardens of the parishes where the
fire takes place, who are supposed to recommend them
as worthy objects of relief. °hers are for the relief of
reduced Clergymen, and persons. whO ire represented
as having been ruined by thieves breaking into their
houses, and stealing the whole of their property. One
of the petitions was of a peculiarly distressing descrip-
tion ; it represented the widow of a Lieutenant Lloyd
(who was stated to have fallen with Lord Nelson at the
battle of Trafalgar) to: be in the most heart-rending
distress, and in a state of insanity; it claimed the charity
of the benevolent. Another *as from a person calling
himself a Mr. Simpson, who had suffered in consequence
of the late fire in Long Acre.
The petitions, which were signed with the fictitious names of
Churchwardens, caused the most munificent donations to be given.
and the whole of them were signed by the following penises who
had subscribed from 2/. to U. and upwards :—Lieutenant-Colonel
Graham, Sir G. Robinson, Lady Mary Burlelgh, Earl of &amford.
Marquis of Lansdowly, Count Monster, Lord H. Speomr, Duchess
of Buceleuch, Earl Easton, Sir C. Forbes, Sir W.. Grant, - Lady
Barbara Pnnsonby, Earl of Buckinghamshire, Earl of osisbester.
Sir R. Peel, Sir &Farquhar, Earl Fitswilliam, lUemeatant.Genera
Ramsay, Lady E. Pelham, Captain Barry, Earl of Lontdak. Du-
chess of Argyll, G. L. Fox, E q. Sir J. Bailey, Sir W. Of.Wynnishe
Countess of Fowls, sod numerous other persons of distinction.

Saturday, T. Hart, a labouring man, was charged with borglzrr
The prisoner lodged in the hnsue,of the complainant, John Phillip..
in East-lane' Walworth, who had recently returned from India.
and married. The stratagem bit upon by she prisoner was rather
novel. Having excited the jealousy of Phillips, be seduced his
wife into a public-house, where he knew Phillips would search for
her, in the event of her being from home. He succeeded as he
expected; and while Phillips was rebuking his wife for her incon-
stancy, the prisoner slipped away, and going to the house broke it
open, and stole his money and some valuable shawls which be bad
brought from India. In his retreat, he had to scale some high
walls, when he fell into the street; and his inexpressible. accident-
ally falling loose, discovered the shawls, which were twisted round
his waist. He was, in consequence, secured by the neighbours.
The prisor.er was committed for trial.
