flu ILONA LL.--Johnoon Gillingham WAS brought up yes-
terday before Mr. Alit. ATKINS, upon suspicion of being
an utterer of counterfeit coin.

The prisoner had called several times in the course of
the last week at No 5, Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, kept
by a man named filor,arty, for the purpose of hiring a
furnished room that was to be h t fur a single man, and at
one of these calls had left with fiforiarty's wife a hand-
kerchief and a pair of stockings to he washed. lie fetched
them away on Tuesday and gave a sixpence in payment,
which the woman discovered the instant he was gone to
be a had one. She went after him directly, and go' sight
of him going into the R A Lion public-house, in ti:e
Court. He offered very to idily to change the sixpence,
and gave her another which proved to be as had as the
former; this she of course refused, and Dale, the landlord,
bearing thedispute, and the prisoner saying he hail got
no other, offered to give him two sixpences fora shilling ;
but the shilling produced by the prisoner proving also to
be bail, Dale suspected him to be a common utterer, sent
for an officer, and gave him in custody. On searching
him, in a,lddition to the had silver he had offered, a bad
half-crown was found in his pocket, and four other
counterfeit ones, apparently fresh from the die, in a lea-
ther purse.
Gillingham slid he was very drunk at the time, and all
he remembered was picking up the purse in the street with
the whole of the silver in it.

The ALDERMAN could not he he trooght to credit this
singular piece of good luck, and remanded the pri•toner,
that the Soli, itor to the Mint might attend at a future
examination.

Bolf-STREET.—Yesterday John Collie (the occupier of
the house burnt in New-street) underwent another exa-
mination, before Sir Rich. BIRNIK and Mr. Illissittai,
on the charge of wilfully setting tire to a house in White-
cross-street, in Sept. 1611.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, on the part of the prisoner, examined
Mrs. Gibbs at considerable length.
William Gibbs give precisely thesame account of the
fire as his wife had done. The only furniture he ever
saw of Louie's, the prisoner, was a few old chairs. Two
or three mornings after the tire, witness saw the prisoner
at the Eagle Fire Office, and understood he came there
to claim his insurance money. Heard one of the clerks
tell the prisoner that if he came again he would have
him taken up, upon which be went away, and witness
never raw him again until he was in custody.
Mr. Beethans, the Secretary to the Eagle Insurance
Company, produced the policy of insurance effected by
John tiottie (witness could not recollect the person of
the prisoner), in which he was described as a baker and
pastry-cook, and the house insured was No. 196, White-
' cross-street. The insurance was made on the 9th of
September, and the tire took place on the 24th of the
same month. The lease of the house was insured at
120!., the stock in trade at 420/ , the oven at 601. and the
household furniture at Mt, m 3 king a total of 7001. A
few dsy after the fire, a claim was made, as be believed,
by the prisoner, and an inventory presented of the
goods, Rce. alleged to be lost in the fire, with the value
affixed, amounting to 3SSI. 3.. 3.1. In the whole. This
he declared to he the amount of the actual loss he had
suffered; but being required to verify it by affidavit, be
reduced his claim to 2421. 3d. The claim was rejected
by a Committee of Directors. The defendant never en-
forced his claim by action, and they understood he had
absconded.

Elizabeth Brookes, of No. 1, Shrewsbury-court, White-
eross-street, deposed that a quarter before 12 o'clock on the
night of the fire she was sitting up for her husband, and
heard a knocking at the door ; she tiptoed it without a
candle, supposing it to be her husband, bat saw a man sod
a boy with a trunk between them; they were both in their
ishirt sleeves; she thought It was her next door neighbour,
a Mr. Cromely and his sou, the former of whom she had
beard cm:telling betore,and she suffered them to come into
