JUL): 23. POLICE. BOW-STREET. APPREHrNiION OF VAVGIII,I.-03 Wednesday three addi tional informations were received acainst Vrogintif ; and 3lr. Naas issued A warrant for his apprehension. The officers de puted to apprehend him were Linibnek and the junior Read ; and Frilav at one o'clock (in conAlpience of information) they proceeded to No. 3, New-street, Fteldgate-sweet, IVliite chapel, and there apprehended him. lie was immeliately brought before the Nlagistrate, and committed to the floihe of Correction. 'Vaughan had a brace of loaded pistols on him when taken. Archibald Rutlivin was also examined; and Dickins was ordered to tind bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. The following confession has beta made by William Drake, the man with a wooden leg:— " I, William Drake, was at a public-house called the Fea thers; and on the skittle-ground of the same house, I heard, amongst a set of mon, conversation conccruinr their breaking open some honse. I communicated the same to Robert Mackay, late officer in the city, and also to one Brown, who took me to the Wells, and introduced me to Vaughan, to whom I gave the information, who directly gave me money, and told are to snake haste back to the same house and introduce nayself to the parties above mentioned on the skittle-ground, winch I did not think proper to do that night. But George Brown and I the neat day introduced ourselves to one of the melt, named Dien, and talked of diffiurent cracks ho had made, and several other Bash words I did nut properly uuderstend; till at last Dine opened his mind, and also talked of different cracks, and how be had frisked a house in 0 sithrd-road of three dozen of shrouds and other articles. This infirmation was given to Vaughan; and he said, take more money, and task them well, and I will get a friend of mine in Gray's-lam-lane, where they shall make a crack. Brown was sent to the parties, and the time was appointed; and the parties met there at 11 o'clock, from that to 12. Mackay found a lantern, Vaughan the small crow unit screws. Vaughan ordered the watchman to keep his box, and put his light out. The watchman refused; and said, he would keep his beat: for which be has been called before the com mittee, and through the representations of Macke y and Vaughan, for his misconduct, has been dismissed; and the crack was not made that night, according to Vaughan, Mackay, and Brown's wish. The next day Vaughan told me to introduce Mackay and Brown to Ann M•Donald, the prosecutor of the men that were taken for the burglary; and Vaughan wished me to speak to the said Ann M'Donahl to suffer the crack to be m tile at her crib (I am now stating the very words used), which I refused to do, and we had some trifling words. On my refusal, they told me I should share equal with themselves; but still I refused. Brown and another man called upon the said Ann M‘Donalti, and promised to drink tea with her; but, to my great surprise, they were all out, and the house close slint up. I went to Vaughan's house, he was out; butt the night previous, Edwards was taken into the concern, another officer belonging to Bow street. I then called on Edwards; he gave me 6s. to go to the Feathers and watch the parties, and supply them with gin: mite!, Mackay and Brown was in company when I received the money. Brown went to the parties with me, and we saw two; as no more could be pro cured that night, Vaughan and Edwards would not unifier the crack to be done. I then declined any thing to do with it: but pre. vines to parting, Vaughan and Edwards told them to Pend for Inure money which they did by a boy, and received 10s. when Mackay and Brown promised to get every thing ready the next night. I told Vaughan—' I have given you the informa tion but I will not be seen in the transaction ; which he did not require. The time was appointed. Brown took the woman away, with a sailor lately from the East Indies; and I have every reason to believe that the woman was totally ignorant of what was going forward at her house, and it was not by her consent. Vaughan was to meet me that night, after the business was done, at the watering-house in Shoreditch, which he did, and informed me, that three were taken out of the five, and two the next morning by Mackay and Brown: but I have every reason to believe that the ring was not taken by the robbers, but placed in their pocket by Vaughan or Ed wards ; but there is not the least doubt but the men committed the burglary." In addition to the above, Drake has since made further dis coveries, and also charges a gentleman in a respectable official situation, whose name it would at present be right to mention, with employing Vaughan, and other infamous characters, to detect persons for various offences, that lie might, on their con viction, receive what he was by his situation entitled to. Read and Limbrick, the two officers who were the means of unravelling this plot, have been actively employed, day and nieht, ever since, iu following every clue that might lead to its full development. Mr. Segar, who keeps an iron shop in Gray's-inn-lane ; the landlord of the Horse and Groom, corner of King's-road and Gray's-inn-lane; the landlord of the Crooked Billet,Kingsland road ; and the landlord of the Crown and Anchor, near the same place, have been examined at Bow-street, and their de positions agreed with the account given by Drake on the night of the burglary at Sogar's, in Gray's-inn-laue. About 50 years ago something in the plan of' the present dia bolical system of conspiracy was practised iu London, on which occasion two of the wretches were hanged. One of the urti tires which they employed upon that occasion was, to prevail upon some innocent man to hold a bundle or a horse, or some other property recently stolen, and to have him immediately apprehended as the real offender. Another practice about the same time was, for two or three of the villains to go a mile or two from the metropolis, and charge any poor luau lbr) petted to meet with a robbery; and by a concerted plum, there appeared on the trial an doubt of the unfortunate man's guilt; fur, as the wretches were couveyiug the victims to peewit), they always put into their pockets such articles as their accomplices swore to ha , c been stolen. GUILDHALL. Anna Nicholson was brought before the sitting Magistrate on Tuesday, at Guildhall, charged by a whole neigh bouihood with riotous conduct. The charge was completely proved, and she was sent to Bridewell fur the 51st time! The Officers stated, that she had been taken fourteen times on Blackfriar's Bridge; where she appeared to make an effort, each time, to throw her self over ; that she hail been loand, almost nakeil, in the kennel twenty times within the period of three months ; that she had shammed the c u tting of her throat with a rusty knife In times, unit had beaten watchmen and potrolcs en their duty times out of number. - - WL•ilnesday J. Kirby, one of the patrole of Aliersmatf Ward, ants el larger( with assaulting tind falsely imprisoning Mrs. Millen :ind Miss Mira ltidler deposcd, thtt on Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, she was going down Aldelnate-street, aecomptuired by Mrs. Iltillen and a boy ; when, ha., ing oceabion to send the latter home for au article which had been forgotten, and stopping a few moments, the de fendant tlguaantictl w kaow where they Itatl stint the Iwy. The hats T;111 NATIO%An replied, they had sent him home ; siiitn the defendant *asserted, that they had sent him to pass bad money ; that they thetas -Ives were had characters, and venders of base coin, aid teat they inuat ~pa to the watch house. The complainants assured him the boy had been sent hem: on. a niesaage; and, to convince hint of their respectability, he was welcome to accompany them home. Tina, however, he declined, and insisted upon their going to the watch-holise. Miss Ridley, terrified, now at tempted to escape, by running two or three times iato a shop ; but the defendant called out to a gentleman parting to aid him in the King's name. The gentitauan having rential, he then called upon a cobler ; when the complainants, finding resistance and remonstrance vain. ac. companied him as prisoners. Upon their arrival at the watch-house do it, they found it clo ed, and they remainal some manems in the yard ; when, finding that the watch-hattae-keeper had nut arrived to open it, the defendant told the complainants they might go about their business. rhia, however, they now refused to do. and, at the instance of some gelid:men who had collected in the crowd, insisted upon know ing for what purpose they were detained. The defendant now attempted to retreat, but was brought back ; and in the 111.2.111 time two Qffieers, named Lawrence and Taylor, arrived ; when the defendant reiterated his charge, that the complaintutta were bad characters, and had been passing base money. and desired that they might be searched. The Officers, having investigated the transaction, could not discover the slightest ground of complaint; one of the ladles (Mrs. Butler) they had known as a respectable housekeeper more than go veins. The Oilizers, therefore, rum dintely dismissed the charge. Mrs. Bullen fully confinnal the above statinnent. Mr. Alderman 'l'. Smith enquired it' the defendant was intoxicated; when the complainants replied in the affirmative, as did also the two Officers. The latter gave him a good character. The Magistrate said, that previous good character could he no extenuation of the offence of winch the defendant had been guilty on the present occasion—a crime rendered not the less atrocious by hav ing attempted to add to an assault and false arrest the charge of a gross inisdemeanour against two respectable and defenceless fanales. The crime was, if ble, more flagrant, at Annie when the whole country was fermented by the exposure of the conduct of certain individuals act ing as Police Officers ; and he could not but consider, that however in toxicated the defendant was %aid to have been, there mast have existed a motive of the worst nature—whether the extortion of money, or what, he could scarcely imagine. lie felt it his duty, therefore, not to let the matter pass unpunished, and wished the complainants to state how fur they meant to proceed. Mrs. Bullen, Miss Ridley, and Mr. Bullen, on the part of the former, did not wish to pries procetnings against the de fendant ; and, on account of his having a family, and being (as they be li-ved) in n state of intoxication, they were willing to accept of a public apology in the Newspapers. The defendant bowed, and, having ex pressed his contrition, promised to sign most readily any hist ument to the effect proposed. The Magistrate said, he could not but dunk the lenity the complainants manifested was too great. The conduct of the defendant ought at Least to be reprasented to the Alderman of the Ward. M A RLIIOROUGH-S'IREET. Thursday, W. Conk, landlord of the Artichoke public-house at Kensington, was examined at Marlbnrongh•sti eet, on a charge of stealing porter-pots from other publicans. It appeared, that the prisoner had sent 15 pewter-puts to a pewterer's, in Skinner street, Ilishopgate ; who, on examining them, observed, that out of the whole only one was marked with his own name ! In formation being given of the circumstance, his premises were searched; when a number of others were found, an.l also the prisoner, in the act of defacing the owners' names on them with a file. lie was ordered to find good bail for his appearance at the Sess!ons. T. Hembrew, Sarah Turner, and Jane Slipper, were charged by Mrs. Welling, residing In Park-place, Upper Biker-street, with unlaw fully conspiring together to injure her in her person, by doing her mine bodily harm, under the following circunista•wes :—lt appeared from the statement of the complainant, that since the month of February last, front some unknown cause, some evil-disposed persons had made it their constant practice to annoy her by bending anonymous letters and parcels, the contents of which were of the most vile and obscene nature, tin at length they became so numerous, that she was under the necessity of desiring her servants not to take in any letters that might come by the post : the party finding themselves thus toiled, and that they could make no impression on her by sending those kind of letters, pursued another plan ; and on Monday sennight the complainant's house was beset by a vast number of tradespeople of all description., amongst which was an undertaker, who had . received a note desiring him to wait upon her immediately, tar the purpose of removing one of the female servants, who was stated to be dead. Atter the hoax had been thus played off; a letter was brought by the twopenny-postman, which the comrlainant at first refused to take in ; but observing that it had been put mm die post-office which is but a few doors from her own house. she took it. This letter also proved to be anonymous, the contents of which were, that if the persons who wrote it could meet with her, they would give her a good beating. The complainant, who fur some time past, has had suspicion of the defendants, who are near neighhours, happened to mention the circumstance to a Lady living des • by, who informed her that her servant had been a letter which was directed to her put into the post-office on Saturday evening by the girl who lived servant to the defendants Ilembrow and Sarah Turner, the woman with whom he co-habits, and this led to the discovery of the whole of these practices. The defendant Jane Slipper being asked by the Magistrate where she got the letter, stated that she had received it trom Sarah Tur ner, who denied any knowledge of it, as did likewise the defendant Hembrow, till the :Magistrate desired that he should be sworn to that fact; when he, though apparently very reluctantly, confessed that he had written the letter , which he had desired Sarah 'f rimer, " his house keeper," ar he called her, to have put into the post. The letter in question was of the most indelicate nature, besides the threat it con tained, and appeared to be in the sane hand-writing as the notes which had been sent to the different taadespeople. The Magistrate said, it was high time that an end should be put to such unwarrantable pro ceedings, and ordered each of the defendants to find sureties to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour. Saturday. John Warren was chartml on the oath of John Millard, with having robbed him of 1351. and his watch, and with attempting to murder him. Pmsecotur stated, that he had been accustomed to sleep in the lime shed., in the New Cut, Limehouse ; that he went home to the shed be tween nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night last ; got his supper, and went to bed between nine and twelve. In a few minutes he heard sonic persons walking about the yard; he got up, and went out, when he saw five then walking ;about ; he asked them what they wanted, and one of them said he would very soon let him know what he wanted. Prose cutor knew the man's person, but not his name; the same man said to another, " It is he, I am sure it is he ;" anti Bill Ike (one of the five) also said, "1 am sure it is he." Warren then said, "1 am sure it is he ;" and told them to fasten on. He immediately came tit, and grasped his throat with his hand, when they all pressed round him, shoved him down, and some of them lay upon him ; they then dragged him into the shed, and threw hitu down on his hawk. His watch pocket was cut off, with his silver watch in it. 'They cut his breeches pockets off; and in his right hand pocket they found a 301. note and seven lOL notes ; and out ur his left hand pocket they took a sol. note, a /oh note, and aIL note. They also took away Ids tobacco-lAA, and in it were also two IL notes. The first man said, " U—n his eyes, cut his head off:" prosecutor begged for mercy ; there were two nwn bold ing him, at the time. Ile was held by the legs, ataprisoner's baat him dreadfully about his face. Prosecutor thought that John Whitcratt, not present, was the person who tied his legs; and he also thougiiit that the said John Whiuindt was the man whom he called pri 110Mf a son-in-law. His legs were tied with a luindkerchief, and the men were with him near half tat hour. Prosecutor further stated, that he criedout "murder" several times,and that after they had robbed him, they threw him on his head in some lime in the shed and left him, where he again cried out " munler." as well as he could ; in a few mi. antes after they Mlle back again, for the purpose of killing him quite, and they beat hint in a most dreadful manner idiom the head with very large sticks, and lift ldin for skald, Pruaccutug believed it was their tentim to inaulcir Inm r►. I Patrick Dalt.r, shopman to M:. Swift, stop.,ella, of 1i0ur.J.01.., statA, that on IVednesday last the prisoner Warren came to their and yurc . iayed :t hireL•ches, a waiateoat, stockings, handkcrchiers, &c. which came to 3L 14, ; he gave wit less a 301. note to et changed, which lie Fare to the porter, V.io b.. ugh; the change in a few minutes, an.l that me clothes produced were Lic wines which he sold to the pH tuner. _ Wednesday, in conrqumee of a description given him of the pri• samm Wa , ren, Mr. Miles, a tientleman r: siding in the neighbourhood of Limehotts?, having m A the prisoner, had him taken into custody, and brought to the above offix ; when a private examination took place. which was in a short time adjourned to Saturday, in cons,:quence of the dangerous state of the prosecutor, but who was on Sattutlay thought well enough to give in his deposition. The prisoner in his defence said, he had earned the money by his own industry, which was, however, proved to be false.—lteulandcd. Walt renders the above ease mast distresshig is, that the prosecutor is a pour man, who had earned the above money by many year; Lard in dustry ; always earri xi it with him in his pockets, and had likewise slept in the shed fur several years, to save expence. On Monday an Inquest was hell at the Spread Eagle, Milbank, on the body of a woman who was found drowned in the river. J. 'ripper deposed, that, as he was going to work, he perceived a person opposite the boat-house, apparently walking in the water. In a few niMutee after a man requested his assistance ; saying, a woman was drowning. Ile instantly assisted in bringir.g her on s-tore, apparently qitiee dead. B. Beveridge was on Itanelagh Bridge, and observing a person -ting eing on the surface of the water, he called for assistance, and pulled oil' his Clothes, in hopes of getting her out; but not being able to reach a boat, he was compelled to go to the boat-house, and with a-s.sisuince brought the deceased on shore. A surgeon was instantly sent for, but he did not come. Witness believed when he first saw the holy it was alive ; but no means were tried to restore life. W. Boyc and Baker continued the foregoing evidence. H. Clark searched elle body. She had no property; Lut had a letter, signed " J. Franklin:" the re mainder could not be read. The Coroner lamented that the means commended by the Humane Society had not been tried; and the Jury returned their verdict—Found Drowned. Tuesday an Inquest was held at the Rose and Crown, Park-lane, ea the body of Mr. E. Pitman, a saddler. R. Hart, journeyman to tit.: deceased, detailed several instances evincing a derangement of his (the deceased's) mind; and stated, that about one o'clock on Sunday morn ins. he insisted on his going to his cottal.e. at Brampton, to see ilia children, whom he said a soldier was killing. Witness accompanied him, and on his arrival at the door, the deteeased grasped his hand, and fell dead in his anus. Mr. Fuller, surgeon, of Piccadilly, stated, t . net a few days before the fatal event, die deceased laboured under stole:it nervous irritation ; and, from his observations of the body after his de cease, he had no doubt his death was occasioned by the rupture of s blood-vestal.
