Bow-at tem.—Fanwsrva Roinim—Yesterday
a final examination of !Jewry Fisher took place, being',
charged with robbing Mr. Mills, a staymaker, in
Holywell-street, of a great number of stays, sup-
posed to be upwards of 500, at different times, while
he was in the employ of Mr. Mills, as a porter ; a
number of them have been found at different pawn-
brokers, and his wife was detected in pledging them.
The compassion of the prosecutor was considerably
excited towards her, owing to her having an infant
at her breast, and she having worked for him pre-
vious to her marriage The husband was committed
on the strong suspicion of stealing, and his wife was
admitted to bail, to take her trial fir receiving them,
knowing them to have been stolen.
Uwrox HALL—In consequence of information given
at this office on Tuesday, a search-warrant was issued.
under the statute 55 Geo. HI. c. 99. for searching the
premises of William Goodhuigh, baker, Kennington-
row. The information set forth, that from the ge-
neral appearances of the bread of Mr. Goodhuigh,
the informer suspected and believed that such bread
was adulterated with alum, or other unwholesome
ingredients, and that there was then in possession of
the defendant a quantity of alum, or other unwholi -
some ingredients, for the purpose of adulterating the
purity of meal flour.—About five o'clock in the af-
ternoon, Lockie the officer, accompanied by a baker
named Harris, went to the premises of the defendant
to put the warrant in execution; strict search was
made throughout the bakehouse, but no unwhole-
some or improper ingredients were found. The par-
lour also underwent a severe scrutiny, but nothing
was discovhed to support the allegations in the in-
formation. Harris then made an attempt to ascend
to the upper part of the house, but in this he was
violently opposed by Mrs. Goodhuigh, who declared
that he had no business to go up stairs, and she was
determined to prevent him. Two women came to
her assistance and forcibly held Harris while Mrs.
Goodhuigh ran np stairs in great haste ; he, however
disengaged himself at last, and arrived in the garret
time enough to observe Mrs. Goodhuigh throw some-
thing out of the window, which lodged on the tiles
of an adjoining house ; he recovered it, and disco-
vered that the articles consisted of about 121b.weight
of sal-ammoniac, and ;lb. weight of alum ; he took
possession of them, and produced them before the
Magistrates. The defendant pleaded guilty to the
charge, and was fined EG and costs. The ingredients
were condemned.

Similar proceedings were adopted against Mr. John
Astlett, of Newington Causeway, baker. One pound
weight of sal-ammoniac was found itt his bakehouse,
and upon the entrance of the officer and his assistant
into the house, Mrs. Astlett was observed to throw
something out of the parlour window into the public
road, which, upon being picked up, proved to be,
about 31b. of alum.—Mr. Astlett
_put in a plea of
guilty, and was adjudged to pay EG and costs. The
ingredients were condemned.
Ma ntnoßouim-STREET.—Yesterday a young man
named Shadwell, was brought before J. IltiettowFs,
F.sq. charged by Miss Drouet, a Dutch lady, with
threatening her life.—The defendant entered into a
long explanation of his conduct. lie said that during
the time Monsieur Drouet was at one of the Patent
Theatres in London, he became acquainted with him,
and they agreed to establish a concern for the sale of
Drouet's patent flutes, which at that time was all the
rage. He (defendant) embarked in this speculation
a capital of 5001. and was to have a tenth part of the
profit ; but not having for a length of time received
any thing from Mr. Drouet, and that Gentleman
having left the country, he concluded that he had
absconded for the purpose of defrauding his credi-
tors, in consequence of which he followed him to
Rotterdam. On his arrival in that city he addressed
a note to Mr. Drouet, requesting to see him next
morning, to settle their affairs. He came at the ap-
pointed time, but refused to come to any settlement.
Finding it impossible to get Mr. Drouet to any terms
he returned to England, but was astonished to find
that during his short absence all the instruments had
been made away with, and the workmen discharged.
He applied upon the subject to Mr. Drouet, sen. who
gave no explanation whatever, and forcibly withheld
the books. On Monday last Mr. Shadwell called at
the house where the business had been carried on.
A servant answered the door, but had orders not to
admit him. He, however went in, and saw com-
plainant in the drawing-room, and accosted her very
civilly, on the subject of the account books.—The
Magistrate, Mr. BURROWES, said, Ido not consider
that the charge is proved. Let the warrant be dis-
charged." Discharged accordingly.
QUEEN-SQL/ A RE.—.Mr. Wilmot:, of Hammersmith,
appeared to an information under the Game Laws,
for sporting upon his own ground. It appeared from
the evidence of T. Daley, that himself and the in-
' former had been in company with the defendant;
that a hare started, and the party being all provided
with guns, defendant fired at it first, but Daley fired
also, as quick as he could. The hare was killed and
picked up by a third person. The penalty is not less
than 5/. or more than 101. There was some doubt
as to who had fired first ; Daley admitted. that if lie
had killed the hare, he would have taken it home.—
The Magistrate properly considering that as the in-
former and his witness were themselves of the party,
and one of them having actually fired at the hare,
they were equally guilty of offending against the Sta-
tute; consequently, the information was quashed.

Yesterday the Grand Jury for Middlesex was sworn
at Guildhall, Westminster. Their attendance was not
required till Monday, when the Sessions commence.
Some days ago we stated that a daring and exten-
sive robbery had been committed on the premises of
Mr. Lefty:lox, at Rotherhithe. Yesterday Mr. L.
received an anonymous letter, informing him that se-
veral of the larger notes which had been stolen from
him having become useless to the thieves, in conse-
quence cf being stopped at the Bank, he would find
them either in the pound or under the bridge at
China-hall-fields, Rotherhithe. Mr. L. accompanied
by some friends, went to the spot described, and, in
the midst of some stinging nettles, he found a small
parcel, covered with canvas and tied with rope-yarn,
which contained £lOO in bank notes, and a watch, of
which he was also robbed the same night. The letter
further informed him, that the gang consisted of six
men, and it was their intention to have murdered
I every person from whom they experienced resistance.
