thrstwahiefim—Yesterday iii. bosky, better
known by the sling name of Jack ssZatuljt, another
of the villainies conspirators, was brought up in chi
custody of Loadiejets. the Limbrick. After being in
search of Man for some time, in consequence of infor-
mation they received, they apprehended him on '
hfinday evening, drinking, in the tap-room of the
Paul's Head, Beech-street, Barbican. He is charged-
with enticing, several persona to commit burglaties,'
and giving information to George Vaughan,. the
Bow-street Petiole, who came with assistance, and
apprehended them in the feet, and on their convic-
tion divided the blood-money. It appeared that she
prisoner was the contriver of a burglary committed
some time ago in the shop of Mr. Pool, a woollen•
draper, living in Everard-street, Brunswick-square,
of which he (the prisoner) gave .iniormation to
Vaughan : Vaughan informed Mr. Pool, that he had
information that his shop was to be broke open and
robbed on a particular night, but not to dread, as he
and his party would be in wait to apprehend them,
He advised him not to bolt his door, but to leave it
on the latch, so that they might gain admittance and
then be apprehended, as the door being on a latch
constituted a burglary. The consequence was, that
the prisoner, accompanied by hits selected victims
(K. Rowley, T. B its, and J. Farthing), entered
Mr. Pool's shop, where they took some pieces of
broad cloth, and were immediately apprehended by
Vaughan and his party, who permitted the peiwiner
Danley to effect his.tscape with a large roll of cloth',
which he ititerwanli divided with Vaughan. lb
three unfortunate met ahoire•rnentioned were tried at
the November Sessions at the Old sloiky, and cast
for death, and Vaughan and-the prisoner shared the
conviction money, amounting to, alSO; they have
been since transported for life. The prisooer Was
committed for further examination.
Bow.saaarr.--Yesterday, • Jaws *We, better
known by the name of Tii Shisii6 was hemostat to
the Office by summons, charging him with firing
uttered a forged £5 note, purporting to be oe the
Bank of England, to a publican of the name of Nor-
ton. Tit Shields called himself a tailor, residing in
Denmark-street; but he could not tell when he bad
done any tailoring work, nor could he tell where he
I.ad taken the note ;he said he gambled, an he
might have taken it then. Sir NATHAIIIILL Coriaor
observed, that the account of his possession of the
note was by no meant satisfactory, and he should
therefore commit hint for further examination, on a
charge of uttering the note, knowing it to be forged.
—Mr. Bellia attrnded for Shields, and urged in his
favour that he attended the summons, and for hiM
to be admitted to bail'; which Sir Nathaniel agreed
to, for hint to appear at the next Old Bailey Sessions
to apse er the charge.
A Gentleman, of the name of Baker, applied to
, Sir NaTHANiaLC. SANT, Mr.NAltra, and Mr &atilt,
' who were all siting on the bench, for relief under
' the operation 1.1 the late Property Tax Act. He
stated, that n ~en the County of Middlesex raised
the money to Wild the House of Correction in Cold-
' bath-fields prison, he took fire shares, one for him-
self, anti one for each of his four children, two of
them were since dead. He was only in the habit of
receiving the dividends yearly, which were due at
;Christmas and Midsummer. On Wednesday le:
went to receive chi year's dividend due last Midler*.
trier, when twelve months' Property Tax was dedect-
ed; he objected .and remonstrated against it, but
could not get redress. He was told, that if any thing
was persevered in that was wrong, his remedy "mid
be an indictment before the Grand Jury. If she
dividend had been due at Lady-day, they would have'
been justified in deducting the Property Tax; but
being at Midsummer' it must certainly be a mistake.
—The Magistrates told him they had no jurisdiction
over it, but woold take Cam, if it was not stinted,
Ito have it taken into consideration at the neat
Sessions.
