At the Mansion. house, William Sanders, the brother-inlaw of Mrs. Dorey, and the husband of the woman who is supposed to have represented Emma Slack, the counterfeit relation of Ann Slack, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, charged with having been concerned, with others, in plundering the Government. After the examination of several witnesses, the prisoner was remanded until the day on which the other prisoners should be brought up. At Queen-square, William Henry Cook, a mechanic, William Cook, his father, and George Crawley, a youth not more than seventeen, were brought before the magistrate, the firstnamed defendant being charged with having threatened to stab a police-constable, and the two latter with having very improperly interfered with the officer in the execution of his duty. Mr. Bond said that whenever prisoners were brought before him, charged with having threatened to use a knife either against the police or any other person, he should treat them with severity. The younger Cook must pay 505., or be imprisoned a month, and the two other defendants 20s. each, or fourteen days.

The prisoner had been in Mr. Freeman's service at Norwich, some years ago, which service he quitted and came up to town. Subsequently to the prisoner's leaving his situation, various sums of money were found to have been received by him, of which he gave no account to his employer.
