Joseph hull:osier, jun: the proprietor of a booking-06u, la Ili&
eadilly, corner of the Regent's Circus, called the Steam Packet
Office, was on Saturday brought before Sir Geosog Faaaawt, and
enderwent a fourth rumination, upon the charge on which he if
held in custody. namely, breaking open parcels booked ..t this offi
to be forwarded to different places, and appropriating the come' is
to his own use.

Charles Abbot, the booh.-kreper, who is also in custody nn
charge preferred against him by Jo.eph Lancaster, sen. th•? r
of the 'other prisoner, who, on the last examination, directly accuse,l
Abbot of breaking open a parcel of Mr. Addison's, and taking a
101. no e from it, was also brought before the Magistrdtg,
Lancaster, sen. on Saturday, abandoned, by the advice of his So-
licitor, the above charge against Abbott, but produced-an old wo-
man to support another charge of 1 similar description against him.
This old woman, who goes by the name of u Judy," being sworn,
stated, that she had been for some time in the service of Messrs.
Lancaster, sen. and jun. at the Steam Packet office, as servant of
all•work—that she knew Charles Abbot very well, and that out the
eve of Christmas day, the said Charles Abbot, in her presence, brofe
open a large parcel that bad just before been booked at the dice.
and dragging oat of it a pair of blue trowsers, and a black velvet
waistcoat, gave them to her to pledge for what they would fetch,
and that she accordingly did pledge or pawn them at the shop 1
pawnbroker, whom she named, in Princes-street, Leicester-squire,
who advanced her 425. on the articles.

The pawnbroker in question was in attendance, and produced the
trowsers aid waistcoat as described, and said that the old woman
did certainty pledge them on the eve of Christmas, as she had stated.
Charles Abbot, in answer to this fresh charge, declared that this
old Judy never pledged an arttcle for him in her life, but that she
was in the constant habit of pawning hundreds of things for young
Lancaster, and that the latter must have [sent her with these trow-
sera and Waistcoat, and not he, Abbot; but the old woman was
now brought forward to make this charge against him because he
had disclosed the practices•
Several questions were now put by Mr. Harmer, who attended
for Abbot, to old Judy, and she confessed that this was the only oc-
casion on which Abbot had ever asked her to pledge any thing.. She
also acknowledged that she has often taken Abbot's Coat, which be
has stripped oll'his back for the purpose, by desire of young Lancas-
ter, to raise a few shillings on it for the use of the latter; but she
still persisted that it was Abbot, and no one else, who sent her to
pledge the trowsers and waistcoat produced ; she denied positively
' that she had ever pledged articles for Lancaster, or in his name.
Several pawnbrokers,whu were in attendance with property named
on duplicates found in the possessitst of young Lancaster when ap%
prehended, declared, in opposition to the assertion of Judy, that she
was in the constant habit of pledging at their shops in the name of
Lancaster.

This part of the case ended with the committal of Abbot fur fur-
ther examination on Wednesday, and also the committal of old Judy
fur gross prevarication. There were, as at 'bit former examinations
Iseveral persons present whose property vanished through the Steam
'Packet Office, but none of them could identify any of that produced
by the pawnbrokers.
Lancaster, jun. was also remanded tin Wednesday next, oft which
occasion Sir Gamma naiwit told him be should &bet be fully
committed for trial, or else admitted :o bail, himself in 2001. and tw•o
sureties in 1001. each, to answer the charge of breaking apes Mr.
Addison's parcel, found in kis dpk.

May, Dukes, were exhibited for sale in Covent-garden
market, as also were goostberries and apricots, for the

Messrs. Fullers, brothers, pawnbrokers, Digbeth, Bir-

tity of gold coin, amoUating to six or seven hundred

ble place of concealment, concluded that the property

a new house, and, in taking down that which they for.
merly inhabited, the lost treasure was discovered.
