Mr. Askew, of Grantham, was again investigated.

emitted.
lie behalf of the latter, his Solicitor held, that as
• there was no evidence adduced against him, beyond
the mere disrespect he had shown the officers when
the enquiry was made after the woman, and as at
that moment he was not altogether sober, he might be
discharged, upon a promise of coming forward to
give evidence in the case, when called upon. If
this suggestion was not attended to, he would pce-
pose bail.
1 The Loon MAYOR differed in opinion with Ole
Solicitor, with regard to the accusation against,the
Prisoner. There were in his mind strong grounds of
suspicion against him, inasmuch as he had secretly
harboured the female Prisoner in s ' own house; and
beside hi, denial of the fact to 0 officers, and his
unwillingness to give them information, he had been
I alertly driven to a confession, through alarm when
conveyed to prison.
The parties were then again remanded to a tuttrue
.dax, when it is expected the wholgof the p
*ill be discovered. -.... . 1:411,,,

„Styaling a quantity of marine stores. it appeared
from the evidence of Sir William Leighton, Bitt.
that about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, he
observed the Prisoner glide swiftly by him through
Leadenhall-street. On his shoulder he carried a large
sack, and he occasionally looked round as if in dread
of being pursued. This excited the suspicion of the
Magistrate, and he followed him closely until arriv-
ing at St. Mary Axe, when the Prisoner attempted
;to make a sodden turn that way. He was, how.
ever, stopped by Sir William, who demanded his
business and the nature of his parcel ? These he re
fused to give, assigning as a reason, that " his honour
had no sight to interfere in other oleo's matters."
The worthy Bart. however, conveyed the Prisoner,
after a feeble resistance, to the watch-house, where,
upon etamining the sack, it was found to contain
pea Hite motes, clothing, &c. to a considerable amount.
The l'i tinnier still refused to give any satisfactory
account of himself or the property ; but as there was
little doubt of their being stolen from his Majesty's
stores, lie was remanded until due enquiry sholld len

Its having any effect. On Saturday last he detected
them carrying off a considerable quantity of coals in

taken the coals without Mr. Lack's permission.--
They were therefore committed for trial.
