cions dream fora man to be Irak* at that early hour Of

where he was going to, sad what he was going to do with the
cloth ? be received for answer, that be (Mr. Lathe) was on his way
to the Spread Eagle, in Graceebutch.street, to go by the Sur coach.
Alderman Scatamv—Well. where was be galas to?—did be not
tell you?
Hutchinson—No, your Worship, he did sot and there was not
any direction on the cloth. He told me he bad received the cloth
from his brother—that he himself lived in Irelsad-street.
near
Creed-lane. I then took him to the Compeer, and have since
been to Ireland-street, but can find no such name as his there.
Mr. John Luke (the brother), then came forward, and esphdned
that his brother was the proprietor of several homes, one of which
was in the country—that his brother frequently went into Norfolk
on business—that. he bad booked his place on Monday night by the
Star coach for Yarmouth. where he was going to dispose of the
cloth in question, which be had had of him, at the time he was
stopped by the officer ; and that he conceived his brother • who was
a man of great respectability, had been extremely ill-used. •
Alderman ScaoLrr said. it certainly did appear tabs a case of pe-
culiar hardship ; but he would put to hint whether. had be bees
robbed of any cloth, and a man had been seen at an unseasonable
hour with a piece, net packed up and without a direction, as was
the case with his brother, be would not have blamed the officer had
be acted in any other manner than as he had?
Mr. Luke said hesitatingly that he should ; but still be could not
but feel that his brother had been very hardly dealt with.
Alderman Scummy regretted that his brother, frost the want of
being a little more explicit, in not telling the (Meer where be was
going to, had been placed in such a situation.
Mr. Larke—l told the oflicer that I was going by the Yarmouth
coach.

The offices denied this.
A Gentleman in the dice said, that only a few nights since
twenty pines had been stolen from a house in Besinghall-street.
and he had then come to, the once to see if he could identify the
cloth. This piece however was not one of those which had been lost.
Several persons came forward and stated that Mr. Lake was a
most respectable man, and was proprietor of several houses.
The party was discharged. The Alderman again expressed his
regret that be bad been placed in such a situation.
A lad of the name of Wiliam Belauess was charged with pass-
ing two bad crown pieces.
Miss Wirral, daughter of the officer, said that the prisoner had
come into her father's shop, in Giltsper.street, yesterday morning,
and had purchased half an ounce of tobacco, which had cost 14d.
that he tendered her a crown-piece in payment, and that she gave
him in change 4s. 104 d. Immediately after he was gone, she dis-
covered that the money was bad ; but, on going to the shop door.
the prisoner was not to be seen. About half-past five in the
afternoon he came again for the same quantity of tobacco, and
gave another bad crown in payment. She called her father to
give the change, telling him that he was the person who had given
her the bad money in the morning. Her father took him into cos-
tody, and on searching him found only two farthings. The prisoner
gave a wrong direction as to where he resided, and said he had
received the money at a skittle-ground in St. John's.street.
Mr. Powell attended as Solicitor to the Mint, and the prisoner
was ordered to find bail for his appearance at the anions.
There were two other cases of passing bad money, but the par-
ties did not appear to have been aware of its not being good at the
time they paid it away, and the charges were therefore dismissed.
Mary Dir, a young woman, who appeared to be greatly dis-
turbed in her mind, was placed at the bar, and Mr. Douney, super-
intendant of the Blackfriars watch, stated that at nine o'clock the
night before he was sent for by the landlord of the Glasiere Arms,
to take charge of the young woman at the bar. who came to the
house, and from the wildness of her manner and some expressions
she used, appeared to have some design upon her life. The young
woman admitted that she had taken sugar of lead last Teasley, and
had not eaten any thing since, but all would not kM ber. Being
asked the cause of her wishing to kill herself, she said she left a
gentleman six months ago, with whom she had lived, and was since
so knocked about that she could not bear it.
Mr. Alderman Scaot.er ordered her to be placed under medical

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday morning the five men now in custody, named Banks,
Smith, Peat, alias Essay, Cloureff, and Mums, were put to the
bar and underwent another examination, charged with being the
perpetrators of the burglary in the house of Mr.Warrlnvon, at
West Moulsey, in November last. There was another charge
against Banks and Potts, for a burglary at idr. Campion's, at
Waltham Cross, the particulars of which have already appeared.—
The only additional evidence taken against Banks and Potts in the
last charge, was that of Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker, and Locke.
a constable, wbo traced a pair of boots aid a coat to ir possession.
which were stolen from Mr. Campion's; and they added. that
when Potts was stopped at the pawnbroker's shop, he begged they
would not betray him, for if they did it was all up with him.
The Monkey case was then proceeded in, and Locke swore
that the prisoners were all associates, and reputed thieves, they
having several times declared to the Magistrate* that they were
utter strangers to each other.
Emma Elise Smith deposed, that she was the wife of Edward
Smith, now a prisoner in Newgate, and she knew the pri-
soners Banks, Smith, and Cotterell. One day in November
last, she was with her husband, in the company of those
three prisoners, at the Two Brewers, &. Luke's when Com-
rell and Banks said they were going to do a goodi thing, and
pressed her husband to join them. Site persuaded him not.
and they laughed at her for being afraid. and said that
" Fanny had made the balls all right." Witness asked " what
balls," and they said " pistol balls." Witness did not knew who
Fanny was, but had hestd that she was servant to Mr. Warrington,
at Aloulsey. Her husband did not go, bet on the following morn-
ing Smith and Banks came to her lodgings, and said that they had
done the trick, and produced a brown coat and a brooch.
Craig. the officer, produced a brooch which had been sworn to
by Mrs. Warrington. u part of the stolen property, and the witness
said it was very like the one which she saw the prisoners have on
the morning in question.
Mr. Greenland, the landlord of the Two Brewers, proved hay.
ing seen the prisoners and the woman also at his house, at various
times, but could not swear that he had seen them there together.
James Summersby, the fishmonger's boy who, on a former oc-
casion, swore that Banks was one of the men whom he saw riding
in Mr. Warrington's phaeton on the morning of the robbery, was
again called, and repeated his statement.
Cotterell—Why, you young rascal, how could you identify a
man at that hour of the morning. You know it was dark at the
time.
The witness said he was positive of the identity.
Cotterell—lt can't be—it's a lie altogether.
Buckle, the constable, who brought Cotteren here on Monday.
stated, that when he took him into custody, the latter offered him
money to let him go.
Cotterell—l can explain that to your Worship ; I had heard
that I was "wanted" for this robbery, and knowing myself inno-
cent, I had made my mind up to surrender before the last exami-
nation that took place, but was prevented by an accident. I was
determined, however to do so to-day, when yesterday Buckle
found me, and not wishing to be confined unnecessarily, I offered
him all the money I had by way of compliment, and said. " 1 shall
be up at Bow-street to-morrow." He, however, refused to take it.
Mrs. Hewitt and Martha Treviliian, who were servants at
Banett's at the time he brought the stolen property, were now
called, and they said Smith was one of the men who brought the
property to Barnett's house.
Smith—Why, you were doubtful before.
Witnesses—Yes; but you had your whiskers shaved off, and
your appearance was much altered. We are now sure you are the
same man.
Smith—O, you are. There is nothing like new lights! I newer
wore much whiskers.
Forrester, a City officer. said he apprehended the prisoner Smith
on Sunday, the 25d of August. and he had then large carroty whis-
kers. He lodged him in the Gilespur-street Compeer, and the next
morning, when be went to bring him before the Magistrates here,
he found that he had bad his whiskers completely shaved off.
James Ledger and Craig, the officers, produced a stock and two
centre-bits, a picklock key. and a 'phosphorus box, which they
swore they found in the, lodgings occupied by the prisoner Banks
at the time of his apprebeasion.
This was the whole et the evidence at present forthcoming, and
the prisoners being asked if they had any thing to say, CutteftU
uttered into a long review of the evidence, contending that there
was not the slightest particle of proof to affect him.
The other prisoners protested their innocence.
Sir IL Bum said they must be remanded for another examina-
tion, in ruder to give time for Mr. and Mrs. Warrington to attend:
but, at all emu, he had nude up his mind to commit Banks,
Smith, and Concrete fur trial for the West Aloulsey robbery, and
Potts and Batiks also for Mr. Campion's burglary. There was no
evidence against John.on, and he must be discharged.
Johnson was then liberated, and the other prisoners were re-
minded for another enema:taloa, which will here foal one.

Jahn Conerill, a powermi-looking. young man, was charged with
the following robbery. Mr. William Pond, a Gentleman trading

Yesterday ifechad Salon, detained on the charge of violating
A young woman named Butterfield, was again brought up.
Mr. WTAIT asked the protecuttiz whether the prisoner had
paid her any attentions prior to the alleged offence, or asked her to
marry him ?
The prosecutrix did not recollect ever having seen him before
the evening in question. He settaioly had asked her to marry
him, but she told him it was out of the question, from the slight
acquaintance that subsisted between them.
Sharp, a constable. apprehended the prisoner on Sunday mon.

ledge either of the prosecutrix or the offence. While on their way
to town, he however, in the course of conversation, said—" Now,
Sir, sure enough she would pot swear a rape against me • but if she
does, I can't kelp it ; the girls will swear any thing, and their oath
will go further than my word."
The prisoner, in his defence. said that the prosecutrix lu.d made
up her mind to marry hint some time before any impropriety had
occurred.
Mr. New, the surgeon, swore distinctly that the greatest violence
must have been used.

Church-lane, was charged with a violent assault upon his wife, and
putting her in danger of her life.
The complainant, a decent-looking woman, and far advanced
is a state of pregnancy, gave ocular proof, in the severe contusions
which marked her person, of the defendant's brutality • and the
Magistrates, after strongly censuring him, inflicted a penalty of
51.
in default of the payment of which, he was sentenced to be im-
, prisuned for two months in the House of Cortection.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday Witham Brows, a journeyman weaver, was charged
with embezzling upwards of 120 yards of silk, valise 120, the pro-
perty of Meseta. &one and Brooks. His defence was, that on the
13th of August, having finished the work, be was proceeding to
the warehouse, when be encountered some jack-us men who were
quarrelling, and lost the silk from under his arm. He Wall so
alarmed at his loss, that he set off to Gravesend, and bad been wan-
dering about the country ever since.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked if he had raised any hue and cry after the
robbers, or made known his loss to his employer. or the police,
and finally, whether he could produce any person to whom he bad
communicated his loss? The prisoner replied by a general Dep.
the. and was sent to the treadmill for three months.

TOWN-HALL.
Yesterday William Me Marshall, his head reclining on his bosom,
was placed at the bar for attempting his own life.
Gore, the night constable, stated that, between eleven and twelve
o'clock on Monday night, in West-square, he saw the prisoner re.
dining against some pales, weeping bitterly. On telling him of
the suspicious eatertabed, be acknowledged they were not with-
out foundation, and consented to go to the watchhouse, where he
sat down oo a bench by the fire. On turning round not many
minutes after, witness perceived him black in the face, and tearing
open his coat and waistcoat, found he had twisted two handker-
chiefs to tightly round his throat, as to be on the point of struigu-
lation.—An elderly man here said he was uncle to the prisoner,
who had fallen in love with his daughter, and in consequence of
her refusal to accept him for a husband, left his house at ten
o'clock on. Monday night rather melancholy. With the Alder-

present.
Sir J. PRILMING thought cue should be taken of him, and asked

was in Court, but appeared nothing affected by the lad's distress.

Yesterday J. Mawr*, J. Owen, and J. Forster, were charged
with a violent assault upon Roberts, a constable. Is appeared that
Roberts bad been instrumental in procuring the conviction of a
man named Walters. a friend of the prisoners, for which they had
vowed vengeance. On Monday night Roberts was on duty, and
went into a house where the defendants were, when they instantly
assaulted and knocked him down, and kicked him about the face
and body In a dreadfully savage manner. Two of his brother
officers coming in at the time, went to his assistance, but would
have been overcome by the gang, hail not the Bow-street petiole
pseud at the time by them, and Forster was secured, but the
others escaped, and were not apprehended till the next morning.
They now pleaded drunkenness as an excuse. Forster, however.
who was the most active, was sent to hard labour in the House of
Correction for three months; the other two were tined 55. each,
and ordered to find security to keep the peace.
