MARLDOROUGH-STR BET. - A further Investigation into the mysterious case of Maurice Welch, who was supposed to have been murdered in the house of a woman named Mahony, in custody, with two others, took place yesterday at this Office. Notwithstanding the pains which have been taken to get at the facts et the case, there is still much ambiguity about it. The persons examined yesterday were lodgers in Mahony's house, but as any detail might tend to prevent the furtherance of justice, we can only state that some evidence, strengthening the chain of circumstances, more particujarly applicable to Mabony, was adduced.  Susannah Discos was charged with obtaining a selo note of Mrs. Sowerby, wife of a butcher, in Georgestreet, Manchester-square, by false pretences. The prisoner formerly lived in the service of Mr. Keys, in the neighbourhood, and on Thursday night she went to the complainant, as coming front Mrs. Keys, for £lO, stating that Mr. K. was absent, and the Lady wanted money for a bill just come in. The fraud was quickly detected, and the prisoner secured. She was remanded.  Bow-sutzeT.—Yesterday Sir Thomas Bell, the Sheriff of Middlesex, attended at the Office, and re. '1 quested that no more prisoners might be committed to Newgate than was absolutely necessary, that prison being extremely full. John Frazier, a lad about 16 or 17 years of age, was broug t to the Office, charged with !robbing his master, Mr. H. Faulkner, a straw hat and chip manufacturer, in King street, St. Ann's, who, it appeared, had been robbed during the last Bee or six weeks of about 100 hats and bonnets. 'Fhe prisoner confessed his guilt, and stated; that he bad sold them to a man of the name of WOOds andlifs daughters, who keep an old iron shop in Vine-stseet. Nicholls,. belonging to the Office, was Mc there, and first saw Mr. Woods, whO denied any knowledge of the hats and bonnets Nicholls, however, soon 'found two concealed close to a bed, and two on 'a shelf, which Mr. Faulkner identified as his property, and which he sold for 14s. each, but which Woods had only given Is. each for. It was Nicholls's opinion that there was other stolen property in the house, there being elegant cut-glass deeinters, excellent wearing apparel, &c. not at all consistent with an old iron shop. Woods and his daughter were brought to the Office, and ordered to find boil, or be cOnsnsitted. John Frazier was committed for stealink the property. John Hurd, who was bronght,to London a (node's since, by Pear kes and Viekery, froth Ramsgate charged with shooting a marine on the beach, at Deal, a short time since, was again examined. John Swithinbank, a corporal -in the marines, belonging to his Majesty's ship the Ganymede, stated, that on the evening of the 7th instant, be went with three marines belonging to the same ship, in a boat near Sindovin, for the purpose of intercepting smog. glers, and when they had got near the north cad Deal, one of his party, Richard Wilson, who pen., ceeded first, was met by a number .of people who called them robbers, and murderers, being fearful Of disturbance, he drove than away and called for more assikmom to the ship. lo a abort tins at* a,
