' A case of *a very extraordinary nature hat
lately been under investigation before Mr. Gas.
man, at the Public Office, 133 w-street :--A cloth
factor who resides in the City had his pocket
picked of his pocket-book, containing several bills
of exchange to (ti conselerable amount, at Lam.
down Fair. l`he bills having some time to run,
upon his return to town, he sent written notices
to the acceptors, not to pay them when "due.—
Among the acceptors, one was a breeches-maker,
at the west end of the town, whose was 761.
was among those stolen—the breechis.maker had
notice sent him nut to pay the bill.' Ott the morn.
ing of the sth instant, the day on which his 'bill
became due, a clerk of the cloth.factor on
the-beeeches.maker to caution him against pay.
lug the bill. In a few days after, the parties had'
some business together, when the. breechesonialtert
Ito the great astonishment of the cloth.factor, pre.
&seed the stolen bill, and said he had paid It. Tie
eloth-factor„ not being satisfied with the savers
the breeches-maker gave of his having paid lt,stim.
mooed him and his shopman to give evidence in the
case of felony, before Mr. Gamiest. On Wednesday
evening as investigation took place; the cloth.
factor proved a written notienat the house of the
breeches-maker, nut to pay the bill, in come.
quence of its having been stolen ; and also e ems.
sage being left with the breeches.anaker's wife,
early on the morning when the bill became due.
The 'breeches-maker denied having received the
written notice', or that his wife had told him the
message t hat 'las left.
Mr. GRAIUM requested to eee the bill,and, ea
the breeches-maker producing it, he discovered
that there was no regular receipt to it, there only
being written on the back, " Received the 514
of January?' but no name to it, there being
merely a flourish, but no letters could be made of
it. Mr. GRAHAM desired him to withdraw, and
then examined his shopman, who said be recol.,
lected a clerk of the cloth.factor calling at their
shop early on the morning of the sth instant, bat
what he said to his mistress he denied that be
heard ; he said, his mistress gave him Bank notes
to pay the bill, which Int did to a man who ap-
peared like a partner. The master was then called
in, and he persisting in tke same account be had
given before, Mr. Geanam 'told hint he had•
great mind to detain him on suspicion of beiel
concerned in the robbery ; but, however, let Ides
go, ordering him and his wife to attend him on Sae
lurday. On that d'ey the cloth-factor attended,
and told. Mr. GRAHAM the breeches-maker .bed
agreed to give him security for the moist Of AI
bill. •..-

with a lung imprisonment, immortally found her
tongue, and very audibly began to defend herself..
Yesterday, about *vets o'clock, some bop
very imprudently ventured on the ice on the coal
in St; James's Park, when the ice brae, fed two
of them fell in ; but, by timely assistance, they
were got out without any other injury than a `ova
ducking.
Saturday evening, at nine o'clock, two desPe"
radoee, and a woman without a bonnet, enteral
the apartment of Mrs. Ross, of No. 16, EMI°.
street, Red Liun.square, and, after binding ha
hand and fuot, one of them drew a knife, threaten."

pockets off, containing 31. and some change, be'
sides taking some clothes belonging to the family',
with which they escaped. The men were dressed
like labourers.
