dasher and hosier, the prisoner Mansfield remaining
opposite on the other side of the way. On Wood
leaving Mr. Gamble's shop Mr. Green entered it,
and learnt that Wood had purchased two pair of
stockines and a silk handkerchief, in payment fin
which he had changed a Al Balk note. Mr. Green
continued his pursuit to the Ship and Shovel public-
house, in Craven-court, Craven-street, Strand, where
hoth the prisoners went in ; Mr Green then took the
opportunity et procuring a convteble, and having
them secured. Richard Malley, the constable,
searched the prisoners, and found upon Wie.d two
eel Bank notes, resembling those he had uttered.—
The prisoner Wood at first said his ni'me was Row-
land Jones, and that he belonged to the 3d Guards ;
but after being interroeated, he acknowledged that his
name was Wood. l'he notes appear as if they had
been soaked in oil •r lard. A second examination

of the Inspectors of Bank notes to attend, by order or
Mr. BIKNII. the Magistrate, before whom the invest'.

proved to be good. The case therefore still remains
A mystery, both on account of the stets of the notes,
and the grey the prisoners conducted theMselves, one
giving a false account of himself. They are hot
suspected to belong to the lit regiment of Foot
Guards. The account they give of hawing posses.

QUEEN-SW,UAItE.—A most extensive robbery has
lairs), been committed in the house of John Carter,
E.g. M. P. 16. Duke-street, Storey's-gate, Westinin
ster, under the following circumstances :—Mr. Car-
ter end'his family have been for some time at Ports- I,
!mirth, for which place he is a Member, and his house
in coon was lett in the care of a woman who had
lived several months in the family in the capacity of
This Woman on Thursday last gave notice to
her master's friends in town that the house had been
robbed the night before. Mr. Smith, of Perk-street,
Westminster, son of the Member lot Norwich, and
brother to Mrs. Carter, immed.ately sent ter Bligh,
an officer of Queen square, who, in company with
Gilmour, of the same mime, went to examine the
premises. Bligh stated to the Magistrate, that he and
Gilmour examined the house with the greatest cam
it'd attention, and found that not a single fastening
ef ether door or window had been forced, or in any
way injured. They were therefore consinced the
robbery must have been committed by persons within
t se house. Witness questioned the cook who had
teti care of the home; and timling her prevaricate
v. ry much, he said to her, as if he knew it, " You
have had somebody sleeping in the house with you ;"
which she owned a young man, whom she had for
time kept company with, had now and then slept
there for security to the house; sled if he had not
betn absent on Wednesday night, the robbery would
tot have taken place ; but she being so deaf, couli
not hear them enter the house. Witness then drew
Itrom her that this young man was a Waterman at
Hungei ford, named Davis, on which he and his bro-
ther officer went and took him into custody. The
prisoner, Henry Davis, on being questioned by the
Magistrate, prevaricated greatly; but at length ac-
knoeledged that he did sleep in the home en Wed-
nesday night.—He was remanded.
Surannah Turner, the cook belore mentioned, was
then put to the bar, and being asked what she knew
relative to the robbery ? said, that she fastened all the
windows and doors before she went to bed; and when
she camedown stairs in the morning, she found a candle
burning in the kitchen, and the door wide open. On
being asked as to Davis having slept in the house,
she owned he had frequently done so, but that he did
not sleep there on Wednesday night.--James Apple-
by. a respectable cheesemonger in the Broadway,
Westminster, who serves Mr. Carter's family with
the several snicks be deals in, stated, that on Thurs-
day morning last, as he was returning from Newgate
Market,. in his cart with one horse, about a quarter
past eight o'clock, he met Susannah Turner, the pri-
lsoner, a little beyond St. Clement's Church, in Pickett.
street, going towards Temple-bar, with a large bundle
on her arm. Surprised to see her so far from home,
at so early an hour, he accosted her, by saying—
's What, cook!. are you lust i" She answered, she
was in a great hurry, and went on. About an hour
atter lie got home, she fame into his shop with a
large buudle of greens, teed apparently in the same
cloth the ether things were in ; hut he was positive it
was not the same bundle. She then told him Mr.
Carter's house had been robbed, and she had been to
' the Temple to inform the Clerk of it; she was very
much tired, but she must hasten home to be ready to
net him iu. Witness going into the parlour to break-
fast soon afterwards, informed his wife of the robbery,
and that Turner said they had broken open her mi..
tress's drawers, and taken all her linen, jewels, and
trinkets; but he could not help observing to his wife,
that he feared the rubbers were inside the horse.—
' George Pullen, Clerk to Mr. Carter, who has Chain.
lbers in the Temple, and is intended-tor the bar, sta.
ted, that Turner, the cook, called on him at Mr.
Caster's Chambers, about twenty-five minutes before
nine o'clock on Thursday morning, and informed him
the house had been broky open,• and her mistress's
drawers entirely script. Pie told her to return bontee
and lie would- follow her immediately, which he did,
first calling on Mr. Smith, in Park-street, to inform
him of it.—Mr. Carter being out of town, prisoner,
Turner, was remanded for further examination; and
ordered to have no further communication with Davis.
Some of the linen has been found out through the
activity of the Officers; but the moat valuable part
the property is still undiscovered. There was a small
cabinet in one of the drawers which cost seventy-five
guineas. It is supposed the whole will amount to
nearly five huadred pounds.
Lauserrm.sraus.—Yesterday, a young man, who
stated ltimeell co belong to the if elftion Corps, was, in
consequence of information redi wed by Griffiths, the
Officer, charged on suspicion of being concerned in
divers felonies with a most notorious gang of beg' ft-
way robbers: John Griffiths, the Officer, stated, that

Prisoner—" I am a ftrofeisional person, your Wor-
ship. I have lately returned from a lucrative situa-
tion at a watering.place not far from town as a comic
actor and sin .er "—He was frequently in the habit
of having benefits, plays, concerts, &c. at different
Summer Theatres, Rooms, &c. of which he made
some money. His mother lived on l*r estate, ae.d
was a kind mother by assisting him. He frequently
called on a young female in the house he was found
in, but denied all knowledge of the place. He was
not acquainted with any thieves, and if they frequen-
ted 'hat house, it was more than he knew of. If ne-
cessary, he could bring creditable persons to satisfy
them as to his character. He was convinced he had
been inviegleJ into bad company, and he should in-
stantly quit it.—This story of himself being so sads-
factory, the Magistrate said he regretted to see him
in this situation, and after a very suitable admoni-
tion, he was discharged. The young man promised
to be guarded for the future, thanked them, bowed,
and let t the Court.

residing in the Borough, had absconded with bills
amounting to between lax and seven hundred pounds,
belonging to his employer, Mr. Kedgell, of West-
Smithfield, and had been traced to Havre de Grace,
where it was supposed be had takes ship to Ame-
rica. When'the officer (Goff) who went in quest 4
him arrived in England from France, he learned that
young Orgar had been at Southampton, and from
thence he came to town in the Diligence, and went
from Piccadilly, where he was set down, straight to
his father's house. The hither immediately delivered
him up to Mr. Kedgell. When he arrived in Lon-
don (having been robbed in Paris) he had sold his
gold wine'. and every thing he could make money
of, excepting his clothes, and he had only ls. 6d. left
out of all the property stolen.
Monday, Snow the constable of the parish of New.
ington. saw three persons dressed in the garb of sai-
lors, begging on Newington Causeway ; two of them
were lame, or pretended to be so, and the third, who
was shorter than the other two, appeared to have but
one arm, as the left sleeve of the jacket was dangling
by his side. The constable asked them to go about
their business, and leave the parish ; one of the tall
fellows began to be very abusive ; the constable,
therefore, was proceeding to convey them all to the
watch.house, when the shortest went on his knees,
and said--" Prey don't take Jack to the watch-
house ; kt us go s have pity on my sex. for t am a
woman." The constable found that the suppliant
wet one of the fair sex, and had two arms, but had
tied one up under her jacket. She acknowledged
that she was an unfortunate woman who had lived
in Dover-street, but to save herself from starving she
had assumed man's apparel, and went begging as a '
wounded sailor. •4n her promising to put on the
costume of bet sex, and to alter her muse of life, she
was discharged. The sailors were discharged on
their promising to desist from begging.
