man, hatter, went on theTtli of January, to Kelly, In Newgate,

wood desired them to apprehend Finney, and said that he would
either see them or send to them, in two or three days time.—
They told Mr. AVestwood, that F.mnia Connor, who was taken
up for passing a forged note, lived with Finney. Chapman wad
to Mr. Westwood, that he had no doubt but that Kelly and
Spicer had been entrapped by the °fitter and Fizney.

II • WON.. Ge RnrN.....-A LA R XING YOWL% or r r Baser.—Mr.
Prier, a Solicitor, on Frid.ty applied to Mr. Sexton, at this
Olhce, for perniission to visit J. 'fhompsor., committed by him
to the House of Correction, on a charge of uttering forged notes.
Mr. Stsrov said lie could not issue such order without the in-
struction of Mr. 'Westwood, Clerk to the Bank S:dieitnrs. Mr.
Price expressed his surprise that the Committing Magistrate
could not grant this permission, and refused to ask an Attor-
ney's clerk for an order which none but a Magistrate was au-
thorived to grant. Mr. Srtsom then reque:ted Mr. Price to
call again in the evening, and said Mr: Ravvsrann would give
him au answer. In the evening Mr. RAYN=rOIID telt! Mr. Price
that Mr. SkLLUN could not grant his request tiii Mr. Westwood
was consulted, anti desired him to call again. Mr. Price ther.
declared he could not consent to have r..e.curse to any under-
hand means to obtain an intervlsw ; but that he knew Mc.
Westwood would not hesitate to grant an order will mit applt,:a-
-non to the Magistrates, and instar.ced two cases in proof of his
assertion. 'On Saturday Mr. Price again call d, and was posi-
tively refused by Mr. Stxxos, who declared that Mr. W,stw...od
had desired Mm not to issue an order. He might, however, as
tend the examination on Wednesday. ' Mr. Price then stated,
that he apprehended circunutances proving the existence of a
greater con.piracy than that in which Brock and Pelham were
concerned ; and that delay might rer.der his services in sifting
the case abortive. The refusal was still persisted in. There
was evidently no alli;sion in this observation to the case now be-
fore the public.—lt is a singular fact, that Brock and Pelt..nn
were during this conversation, in the Office, applying for pass?,
to Ireland.
