BOW•STREET.--In the month of October last, Mr.
Parsons, of Salisbury-street, was robbed of jewellery
goods to a eonsiderable amount. A foreigner in his
employ, of the name of Rene Scoler, absconded
about the same time, which caused Mr. P. to sus-
pect his being the robber, and accordingly he adver-
tised him and the property. In a few days after Mr.
Lazarus Isaacs, a Jew, called on him, and informed
him that be had been called in to value some dia-
monds, which answered the description of those he
advertised to have been stolen from him, and took
Mr. Parsons to the house of I. Levi, in Panton.
street, where the diamonds were. Levi sent for
Isaacs to value them, when the man was there who
wanted to sell them ; and on Isaacs observing that
they answered the description of those advertised by
Mr. Parsons as having been stolen from him, the
man ran out of the house and escaped. He had also
offered brilliants and other jewels for sale. Mr. Par-
sons met Rene Scoler a few days since in Chandos.
street and took him into custody, and on his being
examined, Isaacs and Levi identified him as being
the mail who had offered the property for sale, upon
which be was committed to Newgate for trial.
J. Wighuu.in was charged with taking illegal in.
sorances in the State Lottery ; and, although the
witness positively swore to the fact, Mr. Alley called
witnesses who most satisfactorily proved an ann.--
The prisoner was of course discharged.
Caroline Osmond was charged with robbing a
Gentleman of AC3. A vi2o llank.note, part of the
stolen property, was traced into her possession, hav-
ing changed it at Mr. Loyd's, alinen-draper in 0).-
ftwchstreet, on the 21st or '22d of November last, in
the purchase of a shawl for three guineas, and three
pair of stockings. She was committed for further
examination
Mary Hodson was charged by Maidment, an offi-
cer, with being a coiner of counterfeit silver. He
went with Dickons to I.cr residence in Downs's-build-
ings, Stanhope-street, and found her employed in
colouring counterfeit shillings and sixpences. On the
table, is the back 'saviour, where she was at work,
tier' parcels of counterfeit shillings were found, and
also sonic sixpences. There were likewise on the ta-
ble a bottle lull of quicksilver, and a box of unction.
She said a man employed her to colour them. She
was fully comniitted. .
(2CELN-tQUARE.—J. Strange, the soldier, who had
been apprehended some time back at the Isle of.
on suspicion of being concerned wish Ash-'
ton and Maloney. the ton men who were executed
last April, on-a charge of committing a robbery in
ilyde-park, was brought up from Bridewell fur ex-
aurination ; but it being intimated to the Magistrates,
that the two soldiers who had been on duty with the
prisoner, at the time of the above robbery, and when
he deserted, were on their way from Holland, by or-
der of the Secretary of State, to give their evidence
in the case, the prisoner was agile remanded.
LTxII,.r-r&ALL.---Rathael Jones was charged by Mr.
Bickeraaff, the landlord of the Monument public-
house, St. Saviour's, with stealing a quart pewter
pot. Mr. Bickerstaff stated, that he had observed
the prisoner come to a pump near his back door for
water several times; this excited his suspic:ons, and
he watched for her coming again, *bleb she anon
did, when lie observed her take the pot in question
from a stand near the door, and put it under her
apron, when be took hold of her, she put the pa
down, and attempted to run off; he however pur-
sued and stopped 'her. When before the Magi-
strate, she said in her defence, she had only taken
the pot in joke. She was fully committed for trial.

A circumstance of the most atrocious nature has,
we are informed, recently occurred. A servant, in a
respectable family at the West-end of the town,
mixed a large quantity of arsenic in a pie which was
served up to table, and of which the whole family,
consisting of seven persons, partook. They were
shortly afterwards seized with the most alarming
symptoms, medical assistance was immediately called
in, and there are hopes that none of the family will
fall sacrifices to this diabolical attempt, although
they are at piesent confined to their beds in a very
dangerous state. 09 examining the dish a consider-
able quantity of arsenic was found in it ; and which
has been ascertained to be stolen out of a drawer in
the master of the family's bureau, which he had for
the purpost of destroying rats ; and to prevent any
accident the ward arsenic was written in large letters
on the back of the paper in which it was contained.
Suspicion is attaches to a servant in the family who'
. also eat part of the contents of the dish, as it is sup-
posed the better to escape detection, and who is now
confined to her bed, and a pulis.e officer has been or-
dered to watch over her, until she is in a state fit to
be removed to prison.

and in a very putrid state, the skin °ilia some parts,
as it occasioned by moving it awkwardly. The

ried six weeks. The Coroner observed, it was clear
from the evidence produced, an from the informa-
tion of a medical gentleman who had seen the bo-
dy, that it had been in the hands of ware warm-
tionmven, but by what means it came where it was
found could not be ascertained. In this opinion
