curious eds., occurred yesterday at Union Hall.
7:0M171 was brought up, charged by Mr. Perkins,
Pawnbroker, with having offered to pledge a ring, ap-
parently rid, with the stamp of the Goldsmiths'
C:rnpany so nicely imitated, that it was difficult to
distinguish it; upor, a closer inspection, however, the
ring proved the truth of the old adage—" All is not
gold that glitters ;" it turned out to be silver. Several
p twnbrokers attended, who have been imposed on in
• similar manner ; among the rest, Mr. Essex, of the
Strand, who had taken no less than ei:zht of them in
pledge, and lent from seven to ten shillings on each.
The woman was remanded fur a future hearing.
