BOW-STREET.

Joseph Sweeny, a smartly-dressed young man, was charged with
obtaining a quantity of silk stockings and ether goods, under false
pretences, and by a forged letter, from Mr. Morgan, hosier, of No.
77, Strand. The prisoner, it seems, has been carrying on this traffic
to a most alarming extent. He was examined under similar charges
at the Mansion House, the Town Hall, and other Offices, but
hitherto escaped punishment. This case, however, was very satis-
factorily made out, and his letter was proved a forgery. His career
of fraud had been put a stop to by a !till committal for uial.

HATTON-GARDEN.

On Saturday, Senor Isaacs, the Dogserry of Saffron-hill watch-
house, a very important personage in his way, presented himself to
the Alagistrates, and with atl due solemnity, observed, that on the
preceding night, be had contprheaskl two persons carrying bundles,
which, on examination, were lound to contain two fall court suits,
stolen, as Isaacs naturally supposed, from some Nobleman. Wbibt
this harangue was being made, the luckless wights were brought for-
ward by some half dozen of the Senor's satellites, together with the
aforesaid bundle; and the culprits being placed at the bar, were
charged on suspicion with being concerned in the supposed robbery.
They gave their names as Peter Brava and James Herbert, and
so far as appearances could speak, they, In good truth, were a,
ill-looking a pair as ever stood at the bar of justice; their coun-
tenances showed that evident pains had been taken to effect con-
cealment. Brown, the taller of the two, had his eyebrows changed
from their natural hue, a dusky red, to deep black, not by the ap-
plication of Prince's It ussian dye, but by the more simple expedient
of a burned cork, which had also furnished a well-formed musta-
chio, now partially obliterated. The visage or his companion was
less characteristic; but it still exhibited some traces of recent touches
of chalk and ocre, so as to give it the expression of ashy paleness.
They pleaded that they were play-actors of Royston-street theatre,
and having brought a sister of Thalia to corroborate the plea, were
discharged.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
John Soak was charged with a robbery in the house of Lady
11PDonakL Mr. John Moths, Vincent-square, stated, that he was
Clerk to the Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer. About
one o'clock on Saturday be was in the house of the late Sir Archi-
bald M' Donald, for the purpose of meeting the executors; and on
going into one or the rooms on the ground be observed the window
open, and the prisoner standing near it. After searching fur the
papers that were wanted, on his going into the hall, the prisoner was
there with two bags under his arm. Witness put several quesnuos
to him, but finding he gave evasive answers, be seized him by the
collar, and took the bags, with their contents, from under his arm.
The prisoner declined saying any thing in his defence, and vas
fully committed.
