UNION-1}ALL..-SOmC days ago a nan of tlie name of 1lenderson .was brouglhtbefore Li. B. ALLEN{, Esq., by Mr. CJharles Barclay, of the firm of Barclay, Perdns, and Co., br,wers, charged with writing a lettcr to Alr. Bevan, a pariner in the concern, demand- ing 5001., and threatening that if such sum werc not paid to him, he vould give information to the public, and to the Uxcise, that a quantity of opium was concealed upon tlhcir premiseS. The Ictter went on to state, that the disclosure of a circumstance.of that kind, wvhiatever opulence the finn now possessed, might reduce them to poverty. Ar. Barclay wrote aletter to fenderson, de.- 3irilg hin to call at the brewhouse, and when he did so, cauised him to be apprehended and 'brought to this office. Mr. Allen committed him for re-examination as for a felony, under the late act of the 4th of George [V. cap. 54. A doubt, however, having been suggested, whether the lettcr in question came within the scope of any of' the acts of - Parliaiient con- cerning thrcatening letters, Mr. Allen deemed it right to give the prisoner the benefit of it, and consequently disclarged him at the time, on the promise of appearing at the office again yester- day, to answer to.the charge. The officers were apprehensive that Flenderson miglht be reluctant to come again to the office, and one of theat went-down to Itis house, where he fouuad Itis. wife and chil- dren in great distress, and Ilearned tbht he had gone away out of reach of all inquiry. MIr. C. Barclay and Ir. Bevan attended yesterdsy, expressing the greatest anxiety to haye the business fully investigated, and to givc the most publi denisl to the foul chatge that had been got up for the purpose of extorting money from them, there not being the most remote foundation for thtis infamous falseliood. tAdvertisemenL -Thefollowingis the House List of the Go- vernors and Directors of th E Bank o?
