Post Orrice Romaar.—Tuesday, John Goodman and William
Garlick were brought up on a charge of having stolen a parcel coo-
taining a 1,0001. Bank note and other property,belonging to the house
of Sparrow and Co. bankers, Newcastle-under-Lyne, on Its way
through the Post Office, to the house of Sir R. Carr Glyn and Co.
The principal evidence was Daniel Callaghan, a fislunonger, who
keeps a stall in Fleet-market, and partook of the prey. He jated,
that he was acquainted with a man named Walsh these twenty years,
whose daughter was married to the prisoner Goodman. About 12
months ago he met Walsh in Holborn. While conversing with
him, the prisoner (Garlick) came up and spoke to Walsh. After be
went of, Walsh said, " that man could be of service to us ; be bas a
situation in the Post Mice, and could get valuable parcels for us." A
few days after be met them in Thompson's wine-vaults, in Holborn.
On that occasion, Walsh said to Garlick, " You have a good chance
of making money—and, if you meet with any thing, Callaghan
knows where I live." About a week after that, be met Garlick in
a public house, who asked him where Walsh was? as he had
got a parcel, containing notes to a considerable amount. He
then took him to Walsh's house, when Garlick opened the parcel
and 'hewed it to Walsh ; it contained a 1,0001. oote and bonds to
the amount of 2,0001. or 5",0001. which Walsh said be would keep, but
Garlick said he would burn; be did so accordingly. He added,
that they were from the house of Glyn and Co. had come from a
great distance, and would not be missed for three or four days.
Walsh took the note to Goodman, who came to where they were,
and observed, that he would give 9001. for them; the prisoner said
, that they would be content with 8501. Goodman agreed, and
promised to call on Walsh on the morrow to pay it; he did so ;
Walsh told witness that he had got the Dote changed at the Bank;
witness asked who changed it ? Walsh replied, he did not Care who,
and gave witness 2501. as his share.
George Mills examined by Mr. HA Rwra—Was In the employ of
Mr. Boyce, livery-stable keeper, Fetter-lane ' • lent a one-horse
chaise to Callaghan, to go to Uxbridge, on the 110th of September
last; Goodman, the prisoner, entered the chaise with Callaghan;
they both returned at ten o'clock at night; could not swear that it
was Goodman that had returned with Callaghan.
James Parker, a surveyor, residing at Uxbridge, saw Callaghan
and Goodman at the King's Arms, Uxbridge, on the 25th of Sept.
Matthew Carter, a City constable, residing in Distaff Lane; was
a sbell•fishmonger ; Garlick lodged in his house for three years;
never saw Callaghan in company with the prisoner; never saw him
more than two or three times in his life, when- he came to his house
inquiring for Garlick.
Several Clerks in the Post Office were examined to prove that
Garlick was in the Foreign Letter department, and that on the night
on which the parcel was stolen he had been sorting letters, and had
an opportunity of taking the parcel.
A Clerk from the Bauk of England deposed, that on December 8,
a person got a 400/. Bank note changed, and gave his name Philip
Murrell. On the evening of the same day another person got a
60til. note changed, and gave his name Joha Sparrow. The witness,
from some circumstance, suspecting that there was fraud connected
with it, asked hint why he gave a different name in the morning?
He replied, that it was not he, but Murrell, who was there in the
morning. To the best of his belief, Goodman was die person who
gave his name as Sparrow.
Several ether witnesses were examined to prove that the con-
neaion between Canaghan and the two ptisouers was kept up until
a late period. The identity of the notes was estabikhed by Benjamin
Longworth, at that period a clerk in the house of Glyn and Cu.
Ellis, the officer, apprehended Goodman on the 4th instant, and
nn the sth he searched his house, and found therein two pieces of
wax, flattened with the impression of keys on them, together with

a bag containing three or four hundred sovereigns. He is supposed,
,to have planned aU the atAge coach vdhberies that have takeu place
within theft twelve years.—Committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Sarah Smith, a fine looking woman, being charged by the watch.
man with being drunk and disorderly, charged him in return with
want of gentlemanly manners, and on Mr. Costive's telling her that
she had no business to walk the streets that way, asked him whe-
ther he would keep her without? This the worthy Magistrate de.
dined. and sent her to study the arts of peace in Cold Bath-fields
for seven days.
Yesterday, J. Med.:, Esq. a Gentleman well known in tbe li-
terary circles, residing at No. 7, Bedford place, Bloomsbury, ap.
peared before Mr. CONANTi the Magistrate, to prefer a charge at
assault against the Baron de gagger Lieutenant on isalf.pay of the
Lo„
48th Regiment.
Previous to the case coming on, the Baron advanced to the table,
and requested to be allowed to prefer his charge first. as they arose-
out of one another; but this, after some übservations from the Mar
g!strate, was refused.
Mr. Meth% stated, that about ten o'clock on Monday tv‘
was passing down Duke-street, &. James's, when he was suddenly.
attacked by the person who called himself a Barer., and knnclted
down ; his bat was cut through from the blow of the defendant s
umbrella. He collared the defendant, and called the watch, and
accompanied the party to the watch-hou,e, where a constable, of
the name of Chapman, bailed the Baron, and at the bcne
observed, that a Lady who accompanied the Baron had hettct
charge him. This she accordingly did, and he was detained until
Mr. Smith, the night constable, liberated him on his parol of ho..
noun The Lady, in the first instance, had not said a word about
his having assaulted her. This person, who calls himself a Baron,
I believe, has assumed a tide he had no right to: be states, that ha
belongs to the 48th Regiment, and, on looking over the Army List,
I can find no such person as Baron de Kruger belonging to it.
Mr. Coverer—Are you a Baron?
Baron—l am, Sir • for my name is prefaced with a De; witch
constitutes my title Of Nobility. My affidavits are always signed
Baron de Kruger.
After being allowed to engross nearly an hour of the Magistrate's
time, they were both ordered to find hail.
The complainant then stated, that he was well known in the
literary world, and that he had, since he left the office, turned his
attention to the origin of names, and he found that De, instead of
being a badge of Nobility, was no more than the t‘ son of." Ti:,,
natives of Scotland and Ireland, who prefaced their names wiat
Mac, or o', might say, with the Baron, that they were Noblemen,
with as much propriety. The parties then retired.
