ADDITIOtiI•L PARTICULAIt&

The prisoner was married to kis first wire, who now lives as
a s,:rvant to Mr. Turner, in the Hampstead-road, whet: she was
ab< ut nrty-five 'Tars of age, and he was but nineteen. He L
now thirty-four years of age, and married the deceased when she
was but nineteen years of age. He separated from his first wife
about two years ago, and has since passed as a sin le man.
The deceased had been a constant attendant i the New Je-
rusalem ('tape!, in Lisle-street, Leicester-square, for about the
last twelve months, and where her father and family occasio-
nally went, during the last six months, where he became ac-
quainted with the deceased, and they were married at Mary-
la-bonne Church on the loth of November last ; they only lived
together five days, in consequence of the deceased and her family
discovering that he was a married man, and his wife was living.
About three or tour weeks since he was apprehended on a charge
of bigamy, ar.d taken to Hatton Garden Office, from which
charge be was discharged, owing to there bring no witness
present at the weddings; the only evidence produced was the
two wives and the certificates of their marriage.
On its being known on Sunday morning that the Prisoner. was
suspected of having committed murder, Mr. Cucaeun.r., the
Minister of the New Jerusalem Chapel,_ and several of the Gen- I
donee belonging to the Chapel, knowing the man as generally de-
scribed to be the murderer, and knowing that he was in the
habit of attending at the Chapel, highly to their credit, gave
every possible assistance as to information to discover hint in his
retreat ; one of the congregation made arrangemetts with Adkins,

•
an officer of Pollee, to apprehend him in ewe of his attending
,the Chapel oh Sunday evening, as be well knew his person, and
could point him out to the officer. At the time of the commence-
ment of the service the prisoner entered the Chapel, and took
his seat on the form where he was in the habit of sitting, in the
most cool and deliberate manner, es if nothing had happened.—
Adkins, attended by Jahn Smith, one of the patrole, was in at-
tendance at the door ' • but as the service had commenced, and
there was but one door, ft was impossible for the prisoner to
leave the Chapel without his knowing it, he very prudently
avoided disturbing the corgregation by apprehending him then,
and far which he afterwards received the charts of the Minister,
said Managers. Mr. Churchill's sermon was directed against
heinous crimes and offences, but it did not appear to have the
least effect upon htm. When the sermon was about half over a
man left the Chapel, which Mr. Churchill, not knowing the
person of the prisoner, was fearful was him. The prisoner was
about the sixth person who came out of the Chapel, when. Adkins
seized him. He had in his possession two Prayer Books, with
forms of Prayer, and the ceremonies of the New deresslern
Church. He said he was sorry his time was so long to live, Si
he daseives what it awaiting him, to be hanged. Ile confessed
that he had bet:n a very bad man, particularly for the crime he
had beer gnilty of. He esse.rved that he supposed poor Mary's
body was in a sad mangled state., It appears that the Prisoner
bad been writirg to the deceased to procure Mm money, to which
application the followieg answer was sent by the deceased :
" Desk Witutsm—l hate just time to inform you that Mrs.
Phillips is from home, and lam sorry to say was she not, I sin
confident it it not in her power, any more than mire, to assist
you in any degree whatever. Indeed, William, lam surprised
you expect we eau, for, to tell you the truth, we want asd..unee
ourselves—more is the pity. lam happy to beer you have got
a situation, and I wish you every success in the world, from
your ever well-wisher, " M. Id."
The Prisoner was chained at both legs, and handcuffed. lt
three o'clock be was removed from the (Mice and put into a
hackney coach, accompanied by a number of aims in the coach,
on the box, and behind. Ilad it not been for this strong guard,
we have uo doubt but tke crowd which then idled the street, and
wet,: wairn,g to see him come out, would have vented their rag:
by a vioLen attack upon his person—they assailed him with
bigots, groans bowlines, and various noises; great numbers ran
after the coach.

MANSION I loos r.--It ETRNTION OF A FORGED NOTF...
Saturday a Mr. Robert Boyce applied tir .llderman
J. J. Satirre(*ho sat for the Lord Mayor) fur re-
dress, under circumstances which are to be broaght
before the public in a Court of Law. Mr. Boyce
said that he went to the Examiner's or Investigator's
Office in the Bank, and presented a one pound note,
which was much torn, fur the purpose of having a
new one substituted. The clerk, to whom he handed
the note, observed, that it was in such a state that a
name could not he written upon it ; said that it had
been examined, and pointed to another clerk, to whom
he referred the complainant, in order to have a piece
of paper pasted to the back of the note, after which
the new note would be given in exchange. Upon
taking the note, however, to the person alluded to, a
very different complexion was put upon the applica-
tion. The clerk glanced at it, and throwing it into
a drawer, said it was a forgery. This proceeding
struck the complainant as very extraordinary, and
the variance between the opinions of tv o men, who
were, in the eyes of the public, equally well qualified
to decide upon a question of such vital importance
to every one in the habit of dealing in Bank paper,,
determined hiin to make the matter as public as pos-
sible. They observed that such a remark could not
have been made by the first clerk to whom he ap-
plied, as that the note had already undergone exa-
mination, if there was not some mark upon it tc.ti-
fying that it was unexceptionable. If then the note
was good in the opinion of one, and bad in the opi-
nion of another, he supposed the proceeding by which
the Rank would escape any loss might be the prefe-
rable course. He procured on the 18th of this
' month a view of the note, which was put into his
hand by a clerk, who said his name was Thomas
Glover. He thought he had a better right to it than
any body else, as lie had given value for it, and there-
fore the moment he received it, put it into his pocket,
and was about to walk away, when Mr. Glover, with
the assistance of John Richardson, a constable, seized
him, dragged him about by the collar, and succeeded
in forcing him into a room, where he was locked up
and searched, and the note taken forcibly from him.
He bad several papers of a different description
about him, which were exposed to the scrutiny of
Mr. Glover and the constable. The complainant ap-
-1 reared excessively indignant, and expressed a wish to
prosecute the parties for feloniously taking the note
from his possession.—His S.olicitor (Mr. PR lc 0 said the
question was one of tight, and presented the public
with the means of haring the point determined be-
tween them and the Bank.—Alderman Sarum said,
he should feel no hesitation in granting a summons
to the parties complained against if the Se•.siolls were
not so near, but .as they commenced on Monday, he
should by all means atvise the reference of the mat-
ter to the Grand J ury.—The complainant assured the
Alderinan that he should adopt the course most
likely to give satisfaction to the public.
HATTON GARDEN.—We stated in our Paper of
Friday, that L. Vincent, a native of St. Domingo,
bad detailed a long story of his having arrived at
Liverpool in the ship Robert, where he had lent the
Captain 2,251. and accompanied him to London.—
That the Captain had taken him to a house in the vi-
cinity of Charing-cross, where he had deposited his
trunk, containing specie to the amount of .5001. be-
sides his apparel, letters of recommendation, &c.
that the next day a person had taken him out under
pretence of spewing him the Parks, and having strol-
led as far as Kensington, had there left him, in a ta-
vern, and that he had been unable to discover the
spot where his property was left. It now tures oat
that the whole is a deception, calculated to excite the
compassion of the philanthropic : that the Captain
•
whom he thus aspersed had not been in London these
two years ; that he is now in Liverpool ; and that Ile I
owners of the vessel, who reside at Blvth, declare i
the ship has not been at St. Domingo, nor do th..
know of any such person. yesterday he was bronzla
to this Office, charged as an impostor, and of oh-'
mining sums of money from different persons, amen 9;
whom were Mr. RAYNSFORD, a Magistrate of the
above Office, Mr. WI LarnrOllCE, Mr. t'n A ',DASD, &c.
The prisoner was remanded till Thursda:-.
