GritnnaLL.—Saturday Joseph Gray, who was on
Wednesday remanded on a chaise of freodalently eb-
taining tao pair of boots from Mr. Hodges, Of Sails-
bury-square, was brought up for re-ezatnination. Mr
Hedges expressed a disinclination to prosecute, having
reason to believe that the prisoner's tale of his having
been driven by distress to commit the fraud was correct.
The prisoner would have been immediately discharged,
but a crowd of shopkeepers came forward to prefer si-
milar charges against him.
The first charge was by Mrs. Wiggins, a straw-bon-
net maker, in Tottenham-court-road, who stated that
six months ago Gray came to her shop with a pretended
message from a lady, who wanted to see her, and give
her an order for some straw-bonnets. Mrs. Wiggins
was about to send her shoptvoman, but the prisoner
said it was the lady's particular desire to give the order
to herself. Mn. 11';ggins accordingly accompanied
the prisoner, who soot; contrived *give her the slip.—'
Site found no such lady, and on her return home she
was astounded at hearing that the prisoner had been
there as if with a message from her, and lead ob-
tained two of the best Leghorn-bonuets.
Mr. Keys, the bookseller, Coleman-attest, deposed,
that some time since the prisoner came to his shop, and
told bias there was a gentleman in Finsbury-square
who was going into the country and wantetT to give
Mr. Keys an eider for some books to take with him.—
Mr. Keys accordingly went with the prisoner, who, on
their• coming to Finsbury-square, pointed °unite house,
and said he must bintstelf go to a trunk-maker's near
at hawk to order a portaitantean for his master. Mr.
Keys found there was oo such person living at the
house, and ran home as hard as he could, bat was just
too late. The prisoner had returned tot the shop
saying to Mrs. Keys that be bad been sent by her hus-
band to fetch the beat folio bible, and the quarter edi-
tion of Dr. Johnson's dictionary, which was is the
window, which Mrs. Keys did- not hesitatesters let Lim
have.
Several others were anxious to relate examples of
the prisoners address in kis profession. •
't he Magistrate thought it unnecessary to multiply
eltar,:es against him ; and as Mr. Hetlges's scruples
about prosecu:ingsveris-imissorti by the accounts given
of the prisaner's long practised frauds, he was hound
over to prosecute, as was *alool, Mr. Keys ; and • the
prisoner was fully committed.

l'Aosatet Gray, the son. in consideration of his
youth, and lois acting nadir the immediate influence.4l(
h:s father, this, as. far as coeld be learns, being his
tint offence, was at the intercession of the prose-
cutors, permitted to be discharged. after a suitable ad-
monition from the worthy Aldermen.
