on the Breinford Road. He stated, that on Monday the 6th

gave his name John Dunn, eras brought to Giltspur.st feet Cumpter,
by one of the patrol, charged with being drunk and disorderly iu

he had no watch, but snmetbiug hard being felt in his watch-pocket,
which was sewed up, the turekey cut it open; he found in it a
small bag also sewed up, which contained 61 sovereigns and

when the party was taken to the Mansion-house. He told the
Lord Mayor that the money was his own, for he had earned it; it
was reamed to him : he was Stied foe being drunk, and discharged.
He had a stupid appearance, which might have arisen from ha
intoxication ; he appeared very shy about his money; he was about
five feet six inches high, wot e a blue coat, a light waistcoat, and
light breeches or pantaloons, and spoke with an Irish accent; his
hat was low in the crown, and had a narrow brim. As the mart

Mr. Nimmons' thanked him for the information, and requested
him to follow up the inquiry.
