deuce against Folkard at his trial
The Magistrate acceded to this proposition, end he I
was admitted to bail, himself in £lOOO, and four
sureties in £5OO each. .
Cooper and Broadbent, the other two, were dis-
charged, no further evidence being produced against
then,.
It appears that during the final examination of
William Folkard before the Lind Mayor, at the
M insion House, on Wednesday, last, a key, which
was found by a boy concealed under some rubbish
near the prison, was produced, and immetiately re-
cognized by Broadbent as being the key he made by
order Of Brooks—and Brooks also recollected that it
was the key which he had received from Broadbent
and delivered over to Folkard.
Mnestos HOUSE —Yesterday Isaac Cooper, a per-
son in the employment of the Custom House, was
brought before the Loan Mason, charged with for-
ging certain tickets, connected with goods, on the ex-
porting of which drawbacks were allowed at the Cus-
tom House.
The Solicitor for the Board of Customs stated the
charge to be one of a very serious nature, inns much
as though the emolument derived by the prisoner from
the single transgression now sought to be proved
against him was trifling, yet the frauds practised on
the public, for some years, by persons in the situation
of the prisoner, amounted to more than £100,000.—.
The peactice was, when goods were to he exported,
on which a drawback was payable, for tlie exporter
to lodge a schedule containing an enumeration of the
various articles, their description, &e. and the name
of the ship in which they were to be exported, at the
Custom House. The duty of the Searcher was to
examine and check this schedule with the goods so
lodged for exportation, and having d• -ne so, to deliver
them over to the Piazza-man, as he is called, in
whose custody the goods are to remain till they ate
sent on board the vessel, where they again pass
through, the hands of the Tide-waiter, who sees that
they corttspond with the articles ie the orieinal
schedule. The Tide-waiter then gives to the Piezza.
man a certificate, specifying the goods delivered over
to him, which he authenticates by his bignature, this is
again authenticated. by the ihicials of the Searcher,
and, on production of this certificate at an Office in
thee Custom House, the Piazza-nein is entitled to re-
ceive payment at the rate of Is. Gd. tier every day,
and 2s. 61. for every night during which the. goods
specified in the certificate have remained in his hands.
The charge against toe prisoner was, 111.tt Ile had for-
ged the initials of Stephed Duval, the Searcher, and
the name 01 Thomas Trowarei, the Custer!' House
officer, to a certificate relating to fifty bales of goods,
stated to 'be delivered on board a vessel for export's-
don, the said goeds having no existence in fact, but
that in consequence of this certificate the prisoner re-
ceived the sum of 18s.
The falsity of the certificate was proved by Duval
and 'froward. •
Mr. ALLEY, for the prisoner, contended that the
offence as charged, only amounted to a fraud, or re-
ceiving the eighteen thiiiiiigs under false pretences.—
As such, he contended, the prisoner was entitled to be
admitted to bail.
The Lotto NI.:Y011, ordered the prisoner to be com-
mitted to take his trial for the heed.
Four other pens ins in the stone capacity, were char-
ged with similar offences.
Bow-STREET.—Mr. Adam, of the Transport office,
lately received private information that three French
officers, on their parole, at Litchfield, were about to
•makc their escape ; and were r, be assisted by an
Englishman. The information was so very pricy.-
lar, that it even mentioned the house they were to
come to in London, and the time they wee expected
to arrive,- which was last Monday Light.; at which
time, Mr. Adam, attended by Wood, the Messenger,
belonging to the Alien ofti,e, and several Police Offi-
cers, went to a house in Leman-street, G iodmaids-
fields, the house described in the information, xvhere
Mr. Adam, and Wood, the Messenger, gained admit-
tance, leaving the Police Office's, on the outside,
with instructions not to suffer person 'to escape
who came out at the house.. Me. Adertei!nd Wood,
the Messenger, remained in the house some time,
conversing with the landlord, under a pretence of his
procuring them a passage to Ostend. Alter sore e
time, they heard some voices in conversation, in an
Adjoining rociato and they had no dutibt btitehey were
Foreigners, but could not distinguish whet they said.
About this time a men went out of the house, who.
preyed to be the Frenchmen's guide'; but as soon as
'he goeoutside the door, observing the Poiice Officers
waiting about in the *len of the house, he suspected
they were discovered, and sitsteittly weaned auto the
house, gave the Frenchmen io wide' stend his suspi-
cions, and they all-inset:l:ly rushed out of the house,
end were then.leieed

poor of the parish.
A shop in Forces was lately broke into, end goods
to the amount of £lOO carried off. At SherifFstown,
three bolls of wheat were strilen, the ears of whidt
only were taken; and the vraw left standirg. No
discovery, we regret to say, has yet been made of the
offenders in either of these cases.

On Tuesday se'nnight, in the trorainpp a soldier
working at the rock in Castle-street, Dundee, had

cessful explosion, and was in the act of laving the

inad••ertently thrown aside, caught son.e grains of
powder )ending to the train. ran explosion instantly
took arect. One of the splints rs of stone struck him
on the torehead, and felled him. to the pound: A
considerable portion of tie true was fractured and
beat in upon tile brain. Attrr the .•per.ttir.n• nt tre-

man was much relieved. In this ctitical situation,
we are lia,ipy to learn, he p:omiscs to du well,

SUNINI A ILY JUSTICE. —,The fields about Mary-la'
bonne having been infested for several days past, by
the indecent ezposuies of a fellow of genteel appear-
ance in the decline of Jilts, some mechanics agreed to
watch for him on Wedtesday morning, when 1:: was
detected whilst offending the eyes of some young
Ladies at a Boardag-school ; Le was immediately
pt.r,ued and overtaken, and ducked in a pond until
he was neatly liteless.
A hackney coach. in which were Mrs. Penal, of
Maddox-street, and her two children, with a youth of
the name of Horner, was Overturned in Oxford-street.
on Tuesday, by the coachman negligently driving
against a broad-wheeled waggon, whilst racing with
another hackney coachman. One of the children, a
fine boy four years old, has since died of the fractures
he received, and the yuuth Horner was so much hurt,
that his life is in a very precarious state. The coach-
man was secured.
I- An tinfcrtunate accident happened cn Tuesday at
' Ramsgate.—As 'the Pier Artillery Volunteers were
firing their 36-pounder; in honour of Lord Wrataso-
TON's recent victory, a young man of the name of
Doughty (a son of the Depi;ty Harbour-master there)
had his left hand blown clean off at the wrist, and
the hone of his arm• so much shattered as to render
immediate aruputat qn necessary higiver up the arm,
which he suffered accordingly. Another young man,
(Thomas Paramnr) also by the same explosian last
two of his fingers, anti was otherwise hurt and much
scotched. It is said, after firing twice, the sponging
of the gun was omitted, and eye vent not properly
stopped ; and the gun exploded whilst the above un-
fortunate persons were in the act of ramming thc
third citrtridp,e. They *ere both carpenters employ
ed at the harbotir, and ir • both likely to do well.
