QUEEN-SQUARIL

Darla Smith and flew. Styles were charged with playing at anima
ful games, under the Asylum-wail, Lambeth.
John Harrison stated, that he bad received information that se-
veral persons assembled near Cannon-row every morning to play et
cups and balls, swindling the unwary by their tricks. At seven
o'clock that morning, he traced the party to the Asylum wall, and
there saw about a doses persons round a table betting at the cups
and balls. With the assistance of Weak, an dicer, he took the two
prisoners into custody. The manager of the table escaped. Oa Smith's
person he found a quantity of silver amounting to W. Ss. and on
Styles, some halfpence and a farthing gilt to imitate a sovereign.—
The prisoners were betting.
Weals corroborated this statement, but could not swear positively
to the prisoners betting.
Styles, in his defence, denied the charge, anti said he found the
gilt fanhing.
Smith said every word was false ; he was only looking on ; be was
a licensed hawker, and produced a license.
Smith was sem for two mouths to the House of Correction as a
rogue and vagabond, and Styles for one month.
Smith said be intended to appeal.

HATTON GARDEN.
E. Griffiths was fully committed, charged with robbing his en.
ployer, Mr. Roberts, snuff manufacturer, of Sc. John'estreet, of a
quantity of tobacco.
Mr. R. stated that the workmen were allowed as much tobacro
as they could nee en the premises, and on Saturday night a suffi-
ciency was given them to serve on the Sunday. He, therefore, con-
ceived the prisoner's conduct indefensible.

J. William and 2'. While were charged with a burglary is the
house of Mr. Deese, In Henry.stteet, Comlisercial Road. It ap-
peared that Mr. Dose, who is of the Jewish persuasion, was mar.

Mr. Ellison, the late Patentee of Drury-lane Theatre,'
whose name appeared in the Gazette last week as a book•
seller, made his first surrender to the Commissioners of
Bankrupts yesterday. The surrender was of consequence
inconsiderable, as it is scarcely a fortnight since a sale
of all the bankrupt's property, pictures, books, and
furniture, took place.
THE LATE JOSH FARQUHAR, ESQ.—Administration
of the estate and effects of this wealthy man has been
granted, by the unanimous consent of the parties in-
terested, to .1. F. Fraser, one of the nephews. The pro-
perty is chiefly personal (the splendid estate of Fonthill
having been sold by Mr. Farquhar some time previ. us
to his death), and will, therefore, be divided equally
among his nephews and nieces. There are three ne-
phews, viz. George Mortimer, James Mortimer, and
J. F. Fraser; and fuur ni..ces who ate married to the
following Gentlemen: Sir William Templar Pole, Bart.
James Lumsden, William Aitken, and P. Trezevant, of
America. It is supposed that the share of each will be
about 100,0001. The landed property is comparatively
small, and will go to the heirs-at-law.
Johnson brought up a batch of persons at Edmonton
&taloa', for penalties, who, in their turn, out hint cunvicted fur
gait basins bio wine on his cart.
