POLICE.

Bow-sritErr.-77!amas Sr,lth alias Petrel:on, a
'young man of respectable appearance, was charged
Oith defrauding Mr. William Bawden. a wine mer-
chant, of William-street, Adelphiy of sir shillings.
It appeared, that the prisoner called upon Mr. Bow-
den, and represented that he had been recommended
to him by Mr. Chandler, of Newman-street; that he
was in want of some good wine, and after tasting and
drinking a good proportion of different sorts of wine,
he agreed for the purchase of fifteen dozen, said his
name was Harrison, and desired the wine to be sent
to the Buffalo, in the New-road; just as he was part-
ing with Mr. Bawden, he pretended to recollect that
he had no silver in his pocket, and requested the loan
of some. Mr. Bawden having received a caution re-
specting a man answering the description of the pri-
soner, gave him six marked shillings; and when the
prisoner had left him a short distance, he followed
and detained him. On sending to the Buffalo, in the
New-road, the name of Harrison, or the person ache
prisoner, was not known, nor was he known to Mr.
Chandler. When he was brought to the Office, he
said his name was not Harrison, but Smith. He was
ordered to find bail, or be committed tcr the fraud.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Saturday, a man and
his wife were brought up for re-examinat ion, charged
with uttering forged Bank Notes to a large amount.
The prisoners had been suspected for some time, in
consequence of which, Foy and other officers went to
search, their lodgings, but at first could find nothing.
Just as they were going away, a rolling-pin, covered
with Hour, was observed about the room, which one
of the officers took up, and was astonished to find it
very light. • It was immediately eramined, and was
found to be hollow, and to contain a great quantity
of forged aotes.—Mr. Rooker, the successor of Mr.
Westwood, attended on behalf of the Bank.—The
prisoners were remanded.
Wonsure-srnerr.--Friday a Gentleman was com-
mitted, for want of bail, charged with attempting to
violate the person of Sarah Tettenden. The accused
alighted from a carriage in the City-road, and went
int) a shop, in which the prosecutrix was emplOyed,
and after some little conversation cira,7{.-;e:1 her into a
back room, threw her on a bed, and at:emptied to
accomplids his purpose, but was-prevented by the
arrival of the gii fs uncle, ss ho gave him into custody.
He strongly denied the charge, and offered to deposit
a £5O not as security for his appearance, in default ct
bail, but this was rejected.

A few evenings since, a depredator seal ked through
the shop of Mr. Thompson, a broker, near Clare- .
market, and, withaat being perceived, got into the
bed-chamber. Hereinained concealed under the bed
all night, his retreat having been cut off by shutting
u the shop ; and in the morning, after Mr. and Mrs
'Damson ::ad left the 'nom, he rushed out of the
bouse, carrying off a valuable silver watch, several
spoons and article; of value.
CoURT-MA TlTlAt.—Thursday a Court-Martial was
held atik rtsmouth to inquire into the conductof Car-
tain J. DRURY, late Commander of his Majesty's ship
Voti.cie, for having left that ship at Batavia, on or
about the 9th of October, 1816, on account of ill
health, giving to Lieutenant NVAnac, the Senior
Lieutenant, an order to keep charge and command
the ship, and proceed in her to join Rear:Admiral
Sir RICHARD KING. The Court agreed that Captain
JOSEPH Dautiv, when he quitted the command of
the VotAGE, at Batavia, w.s in a state of health re-
quiring change of climate; that, as he had not pro-
duced any document to the Court to justify his leav-
ing her, he ought to have proceeded to join Rea:-
Admiral Sir RICHARD KING; and that blame was.
therefore, imputable to him ; and the Court did
.adjudge him to be severely reprimanded. The
Court afterwards proceeded to try James Cook, a
seaman, belonging to the BRAZEN, for having used
threatening and mutinous language to his superior
Officer on board the same ship, on the 20th of last
month, which charge was proved against him, but,
in consideration of circumstances, the Court only ad-
judged him to receive four &Len lashes on board his
own ship.
• Exectrrlows..—Saturday morning, soon after eight
o'clock, John aged 25 years ; Nathaniel
Carter, 21 - and James Williams, were taken from
the gaol of Wincherter to the place of execution,
where, basin? joined with the Chaplain in prayer,
about nine o clock they were launched into eternity.
Biddlecomb was a native of.Plattford, in Wilts, and
suffered foe keeling open a house at Higlicicie, in
company with IL Knott, who was convicted of the
n.q.cuce at the last Mat ch Assizes, and sentenced to
transportation; and Pocock, who was shot near the
placed the robbery. Carter and Williams had been
convicted of sheep-stealiag. Carter was a native of
Newport in Essex ; and NN Minus came from North
Warr.bord. They altackuowledged their crime, and
conducted themselves with propriety, ascribing their
untimely fate to a neglect of the duties of the Sab-
bath, and its r.ecess"ary consequence, bad company.
