ay a respectable Nu.
broker in the City again appeared before the ,Llo„
M
of anunderwent
a plicate examination, which
lasted hour, upon a charge pre.
s s (o. a
upwards, and
(erred by two respectable persons, of the follosieg
nature:—
The Defendant and his partner, it appeared, were
brokers' of considerable note, the latter had re.
ceived a bill of exchange for 901. for the purpose of
having it discounted. A widow lady of respeete.
bility, residing in Lambeth-walk, near Vauxhall,
had also entrusted to him a bill for the like purpost,
amounting to 2001. The bills or the money, how.
ever, after repeated applications, were not forth.
coming, and it was at length urged by the Defend.
ant, that the person to whom the bills had bean
consigned, namely, hi• partner, had !eft tt.ra, and
he did not conceive himself responsible for the
transaction.

The friends of the Complainants, however, think,
ing otherwise, thought proper to bring the Defendant
before the LORD MAYOR, while a warrant was also
issued, and a strict search instituted, for the eppre.
hensiott of the party who had absconded.

,
Under all the circumstances of the case, the Lou;
MAYOR. Was pleased to order the matter to sand
over for another hearing,ts hen the Defendant is honed
by' recognizance again to appear Lefare him.

quence of the information of the Prisoners being in

the treasury, in which a skeleton key was found
which opened the wine cAllar door, in which also the
plate was kept. Out of three dozen of silver table
spoons, which were used the preceding day, there
was only one left. Suspecting that some were con..
cealed about the house, he commenced a search, soil
behind a cupboard in a closet of whit/ William had
the key, he found the two 'liver table spoons and
file now produced. The spoons bad the arms of the
Company, nearly filed out, but the marks of the
file remained, not being polished. In the same closet
he also found the stone and old shoe now produced
which, he supposes, were used for the purpose a
polishing the spoons, so that the file marks coold
not be visible. 'These two spoons matched the four
found on the person of Richnrd, only on them foes.
there was neither the Company's arms nor file mark,
visible, having received a high polish. Another
