lopienter.-43aturday J. F. Speer, under eighteen
yeirecif age, was re-examined on suspicion of steal-
.itag -a 410 Bank-note from' the Receiving-heirse in
Oisford-street, kept by Mr. Miles, to whom the pri,
tones was apprentice.—T. Crocker, butler to Mrs.
Inset, Ofbianchesser.square, stated, that he took a
'letter, containing a 410 note, to Mr. Miles's Receiv-
ing-house, and paid the postage, as a ci xible letter, to
the prisoner.—Margatet Smith stated, that she had
long. been acquainted, with the prisoner; that one
'Sunday, in March last, he was at her mother's, and
having in vain attempted to procure change for a
410 note, she obtained it for him from a Mrs. Brad-
who keeps a chandler's shop near Park-lane,
which proved to be the note in question.—The mo-
ther of the last witness stated, that she had received
a letter from the prisoner, hating, that he bad done
1 what he should not have done, but that the Auper-
' intendant of the Post-office would overlook it. The
Superintendent hadolso received a letter of contrition
from the prisoner, but had made no promise.—He
was fully committed.
GUILIMIALL.—J. Steven:, F. Sleigh, A. AMAMI, T.
B. Pearson; J. Dixon; IV. Brown, T. Henson,
' and J. Banner, nine men employed in the tailors' di-
vision of Mr. Maberly, the army contractor's works,'
at Paul's Wharf, Thames-street, were brought up,
charged with being concerned in robbing Mr. Ma-
berly to a very great amount. It appeared that Mr.'
Stevens, the manager, had for some time suspected
that a system of robbery, to an alarming degree, pre-
vailed among the workmen on his employer's pre-
mises ; he therefore resolved to take measures in order
to detect the plunderers. With this view, information
was sent to Henry Carage, the ward-beadle of Castle
Baynard, and he was desired to corne down between
six and seven oni Friday evening, Letore the tailors
were dismissed from work, and to bril,g a party of
constables with him. The ward-beadle did so, and
he and the constables were secreted under a gateway,
.through which the workmen had to pass. On a,
signal-given by Mr. Stevens, the whole party, to the
number of twelve or fourteen, rushed from their bid-
ing-place, and each seized one of the workmen. As
might be expected, the whole corps of plunderers
were thrown into confusion; but the officers only
succeeded io securing the nine prisoners, out of about
70 men, at least in such situations as to attach any
actual guilt to them.
•
H. Carage deposed, that he first seized a man who
had nothing on him; he then laid hold of Stevens,
who dropped a piece of blue cloth, which had the.
Storekeeper-General's mark on it. Witness found
out the prisoner's lodgings, and on searching them
discovered five more pieces of the same sort of cloth.

Maberly, took Sleig!), and found a piece of the same
sort of cloth under-his coat.

patrole take from him a sitaar piece of blue cloth.

At the request of Mr. Stevens, the prisoners were
remanded till Tuesday next, in order to give Mr.
Maberly.time to inform the Commissary-General, and

had been seni in by Government in order to be made
into clothing for Spaniards.

quantity of the most valuable files, part of his pro.
