HarroN-GARDEN.—Charks Heywood, a genteel
youth, was charged yesterday with robbing the house
of Mr. Stephen Davies, jeweller, Sutton •street, Clerk-
enwell, of Bank Notes, amounting to £55, gold and
silver old. coin of ao value, and other property
William Reed, jun. the officer, stated, that. Mr. Da- I
vies employed a number of journeymen and appren-
tices
leg
in th ellery business. In November last,!
after the pe semployed had left work, Mr. Davies
and his son, a young man, went, as . was their cus-
tom in the evening, to a tavern in the neighbour-
hood to smoke them pipes with other tradesmen who
met there. On their return home (having locked up
the home when they went out), they found the front
door had been opened, the parlour rifled, and also
the elder Mr. Davies's bed-room. Out of a drawer,
1:55 in Bank of England Notes, a bag full of old
coin, of the reigns of .Mary, Ann, the Charles's, and
James's, and George the First, a two guinea piece of,
George the Second, several Napoleons, &c. were
stolen. Information of the robbery was given at
Hatton. Garden, and several persons have subse-
quently been apprehended on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the robbery ; among the number was the
prisoner, who was searched and examined, and no-
thing being found upon him, he was discharged.
Mr. Davies had fortunately taken the numbers of
several of the stolen notes, which were of the value
of I:10, and last week one of them was, stopped on
being presented at the Bank. He (Read) traced the
note through eight different hands, and the last per-
son was the prisoner's tailor, who had received it
from the prisoner in payment for clothes. He went
immediately to the prisoner's lodgings, took him
into custody, and again searched him ; he resisted,
and talked loudly ot obtaining redress by law, unless
he (the °Meer) immediately went about his business.
He, however, thought proper to ssarch every apart-
ment, and finally the prisoner's box ; the prisoner sat
upon it, and declared that it should not be opened ;
he forced him off, and upon opening it, found fifteen
one pound Bank of England Notes, a bag contain-.
ing the whole of the old coin stolen from Mr. Davies,
and a pair cf silver spectacles in a Morocco case,
which Mr. Davies has since identified. Upon the
property being discovered, the prisoner confessed to
the officer and to Mr. Davies, that he alone perpe-
trated the robbery, and he described the way he ef-
fected it. The prisoner was committed for final ex-
amination on a future day.
SHADWELL.—Yesterday, Andrew Johnson, alias
Captain Johnson, Charlotte Johnson, who passed for
his wife, and Charlotte Johnson, who passed for
their servant, weie brought up for final examination,
charged with fraudulently obtaining goods and
wearing apparel from different tradespeople. There
were four or five charges gone into and proved
against the prisoners, for obtaining furniture, wear-
ing apparel, groceries, butcher's meat, and liquors.
It appeared that the prisoner, Andrew Johnson, was
in the habit of taking respectable ready-furnished
lodgings, at times representing himself as a Captain
in the Royal Navy, and at other times as an Officer
in the Customs, and by these fraudulent pretences
the prisoners contrived to defraud the neighbouring
shopkeepers and tradespeople cat of the goods in
which they dealt. In each case it appeared that
the goods were ordered to be sent home to the pri-
co:.er s house, where they would be paid 'for on
delivery, when the female prisoners represented to
the bearers that Captain Johnson was not then 'at
Lome, but 'to leave the goods and call again, and
they would be path! for ; in the interval the prison-
ers changed their lodgings to another quarter, where
they earned on the same depredations. At length,
information being given to the officers, the three pri-
soners were found sleeping in one bed, in an obscure
lodging-honse.in Twine-court, Shad well, where they
were taken into custody, and brought to this Office
for examination. They were committed for trial.
