cr-eary to remand him with the two other poi-
soners, that the prosecutors might have a further op-
po•o tunity of tracing their property.
A fellow, who gave his name George Massey, and de-
scribed himself as a servant out of place, was charged
by James Lockwood, a very respectable looking mar.
vied man, between the ages of 40 and 50, residing at 8,
Broadway, illackfriare, with an offence of the most
atroctious nature.

Mr. Lockwood stated, that be and his wife were living
noon a property they possesaed, the result of former in-
d.t.,try, and were at this time employed in taking care
of a house, No. 27, New Bridge-street, In the absence
of the family. On Thursday he had occasion to go to
the Gotmuersial-road, and in his way stopped for ashen
time, certainly not one minute. at the picture shop in
St. 1-mil's Church-yard. On his turning away from it,
the prisoner, whom lie had nut before observed, mid
utotri, to his knowledge, he bad never seen before, ad-
dresied him, and said, " I suppose pia mean to stand
somethirg." Ile did not at first think that the pri-
soner spoke to him, hot on his repeating the words he
asked him what he meant, when the prisoner replied
" tor the indecent liberties be bad taken with his per.
son," and immediately applied the mast opprobrious of
e;.i: hets to him. He (Lockwood) turned array, and the
prisoner followed bins, occasionally addressing him with
such language on the whole of die way to Whitecbapel.
