MANSION.IIOI/15..-•• Yesterday Jame: Water
was examined on a charge of having wailed a
quantity of ribbon", gannet, and tither silk goods,
knowing the same to have keen stolen from the
warehouse of Mr. Smith, a silk. manufacturer, of
Gutter-lane, Cheapside.
• • Stoismiss Ansa‘y, a porter in the employment
of Mr. Smith, stated, that On,&unday, the lsrof
October, hiring' Welt left in charge of his niaster'X,
house, he went gut about one o'clock in the day,
and did 'lot return until lee at night, when he was
I informed by a person in the neighbourhood, that
having passed by the )call-dour of the lonise abdut
seven in the wonting, he saw it lying open, and re.'
turning again •is about 20 minutes, he saw the
door. shut, and abbot the same time, a coat!,
more froth off the premises. Witness Xben struck
1-aiight, and searched the warehouse, when he ob-
serted two bags on the door, containing a quaii.
City of rawsiik, which were not there when he
ii cut. our. llc aki, found that two bales of silk
had been !woken open, and three drawers pulled
out which had contained ribbons, one of which
was empty, and in the other two some pieces re-
.ma'uleit. He immediately called up another man.
servant who slcpt in the house, and they searched
the premises throughout, but foiind no person.
1 They immediately proceeded to the Poultry
C,inpter, and there gave information of the rob.
bery.
_Some time afterwards a man named Smith, who
is a •silk-dresser, and who dues business for Mr.
Smith, of G totter-lane, had some pieces of unfi-
nished ribbon brought to his house to be dressed,
by the colour and pattern of which he immediately
kne'c them to li, long to the PitstteViir, to whore
he took them, and who insta' ' 'ignized them
ese,
to be part of the goods stolen f. t his warehouse
the iii.ttit of the lit of October. The silk-fires.
see told Min they were brought to his Nouse by
the wife of the Prisoner, and immediately Rap-
wt 11, the Ifolice offit er, was sent to the Prison-
er's apartment, where he toned a entisi4erabli:
quantity of other ribbons .ind garnet, which he
brought awry, and twk the Prisoner into cu.:.
toil/. The ribbons, and a part of the sok
Were ilentified in Court by the Prosecutor, ai a
part of the property stolen from him.
The Prisoner in his defence said, that he him.
self was,a silk-weaver, and that the live pieces uf
Unfinished ribbon he took to one of the witnesses
to: be dressed, be bad received from a woman

for her, and the other articles I mumd in his lodgmg.
hewaid he had bought, as lie derlt in such things:
Tho' Lord Mayor ordered that the woman* its

BOW-mutter.--A lad of genteel appearance,
named Charles Slalter) was )esterday brought be-
loge Mr. GRAHAM, on a charge of foluily, in
having stoleo several books, the property of Mr.
Lunn, .1 bookseller, iu Suho-square.
Mr. Luon htated, that the Prisoner had lived
with hoe' :la.& short time in the capacity of shop.
aims, but being incompetent to the services re..
*tired, -ho discharged him. The yondir man,
after he kft his employment, continued to call oc-
casionally, arid in one instance was directed in
&slings book, and on seare.ing his lodgings se-
Petal others were found, added to whirl& many
persons had bought books of the Prisoner, which
Mr. Lunn -did nut recollect to have sold, hut
which he believed to be hiS property. There were
other eiveomstaiices occurred diet led to a strung
suspicion thst he had coin :iliacd depredations et
this sort to a very considerable extent.
Re was folly committed for trial. • .
Mr. Lunn stated, that the Prigoner came from
Oxford, recommendelhots him by a gentleman of
ffitswimo of Parket% to had been in a boohoo(.
ler's employment iwthat city:
Mr. Graham now reeognia el the prisoner to be
the,pro"ecittor of the Her Dr. Shipley, of All.
Suet's College, whom he charged with the corn.
mission .of ere unnatural otteuee, and who was
tried at the last Oxford circuit, but-was acquitted.
Notwithstanding that acquittal, horreveq Dr.
Shipley was constrained to leave the College, ail('
had since, in consequence of the stigma thrown
on his character by thks circumstance, been ez.l
pellet( all respectable society.
From a fabricated letter which was found in the
prisoner's possession, by Riven, who apprelieud- i
ed him, and the flagitious disposition lie has sliewn
since his wive! in London, added to other sus-
picious cirenoistances, it is shrewdly sospeetest
that some foul conspiracy has led to the late charge
twilit Dr. Shipley, and that that-gentleman has
fallen a victim to a base and unmerited slander.
Mr. Graham has signified his intention to make
the most minute and general inquiries into this
mysterious effete, and, if possible, bring teiight
the real state of the facts.
In. all events, the crone with which the prisoner
now stands accused, is a convincing proof that
his testimony cannot be very credible, and will,
in a great measure, assist in restoring Dr. Shipley
to his former rank in eociety, who, we under.
stand, previously to the late charge exhibited
against hint, was held in universal cethnation. ,
