The CASE OF Rev. GEORGE T. WiLLIAMs,
IN NEW YoRK-Thc proptracted examination
in the case of the Rev. George I. Williams Of
Virginia, who is charged with having picked the
pocket of lady while riding in Fifth avenue
omnibus, New York, in November last, was
brought to close on Saturday by the decision
of Justice Dodge, who concluded to commit the
prisoner for trial. Mr. Williams has always
heretofore maintained on uublemisbed character
in Virginia as an Episcopal clergyman, and the
charge against him has excited no little interest
IN the religious community, which believed he
was the victim of professional piekpockets.--
Justice Dodge, before whom the case was
brought, delivered the folSwiog opinion:
1 consider the following facts as having beea
established: That on the second day Of Novem-
Der last, the complainant entered Fifth avenue
stage and seated herself at the extreme end OF
the left hand side; that the only persons on the
same side were two ladies; one at the end by
the door, the other seated midway. That the
next person who entered that stage was the pris-
oner, Geo. +. Williams, who took a seat immo.
dately next to the complainant, and continued
to occupy the same till the discovery of the al.
legged larceny; and no person at any time sat be-
tween the complainant and Mr Williams. As
the stage approached Twenty street,
there was seen by passenger seated opposite
DIR w llilans, movement unoer the dress OF
the complainant, ana Immediately afterwards
the hand Of the prisoner was Withdrawn from
Hereunder with pocket-book 10 it, which he
instantly placed in the left hand breast pocket
of bis coat, and then arose and pulled the strap
to stop the stage. The evidence further showed
that the prisoner was called upon for the pock-
et-book, and denied that he bad IL; that he was
taken hold Of by some of the passengers, where
upon he struggled and succeeded in freeing
himself from their grasp, and fell from the step;
that on the demand for the pocket book being
renewed he took it out o. his pocket and handed
it to the owner; that when arrested nc stated 70
the officer that he found il on the foor OF the
stage, and, when brought before the court that
he found it on the seat These facts are estac-
lished by witnesses whose testimony was very
clear. and who could have no occasion to misre-
present.

CAUTION.

Frequent complaints have recently reached us
from responsible persons, in various parts of the
country Of which the following, from gentle
man in Kentucky, is a specimen
That one of the rooms in the Bible House is
rented to quack doctor, or a doctor who sends
out his circulars, which are calculated to deceive
or impose upon the people, as coming from the
Bible House in New York. Many imagine that
they are sanctioned by the Bible House. From
other sources we learn that the room referred to
is No. 12 Bible House.
We reply that no room in the Bible House is
rented to any such person. mo l2 Bible House, -
is occupied exclusively by the U. S. Government,
as Station d., Branch New York Post Office.
We cannot prevent any matter going through
the Post Office. The circulars referred to above,
as we have reason to believe, are issued by pe:-
son whose real office is in another part of the
city, and who, by this mean subtelfuge, thus at
tempts, with too much success, to deceive foolish
people and get their money, for his profit
and the ruin of others.
