committed sundry acts of swindling. Elizabeth Hennell was ins.
rnediately discharged from custody, at the instance of Mr. Nobler,
jun. who appeared as Solicitor for the prosecution, there being no
case against ber.
Mr. Charles Phillips attended as Counsel for the prosecution,
and Sir C. S. liourra presided fur the Lord Mayor, who still re-
mains' we regret to say, unable to perform the public duties of
Chief Magistrate.
Mr. C. Phillips stated, that he appeared as Counsel against the
prisoners, who, he had good reason to believe, had practised a
number of gross impositions upon tradespeople its Birmingham,
London, and elsewhere. As they had been apprehended but last
night, there had been no time to collect the necessary evidence.
and the case upon which they were taken being one which would
require a very minute investigation, the learned Counsel requested
that the Alderman would remand the prisoners for a few days,
particularly as the public were deeply interested.
Mr. Humphreys, the Solicitor for the prisoners, said, after
having spoken to them, that he could not see, from all that bad
been represented to him, that there was any case against his clients,
but he had no objection that the complaining party should be se-

commodated with time for prepaiatioi.
Mr. Hobler, jun. said, he was prepared with such evidence at
that moment as would warrant the Alderman in remanding the
prisoners. He was ready to proceed if it were required.
The Solicitor for the prisoners said it was unnecessary to pro-
ceed further than the mere statement, a his clients had voluntarily
consented to be remanded. _ .

The prisoners were then remanded till Monday nest.
The prisoners wished that the money found upon them (a £lO
note and some gold), should be returned.
Mr. fabler. jun. objected to part with the Bank-note, at it
might be necessary to produce it as evidence.
